I am a relative newcomer to the genre of trip-hop music, but I know what I like. And after hearing just a sampling of this CD in a book store, I bought it immediately and have not been disappointed. For one thing, it has introduced me to artists that I had never even heard of before. And the songs selected for this album blend together beautifully to create a blissful and chilled-out atmosphere. I love it! There's something addictive and meditative about this music -- the airy and sultry female vocals nearly float effortlessly above deep trance-like bass and drums. The effect is very nice indeed. I highly recommend this CD for fans of ambient and trip-hop (and even Dido, whose songs would fit in quite nicely on this sampler). Excellent music to drift in and out of.

A compilation is a tricky beast, a delicate balance. And buying one where you already have about half the songs on their original CDs maybe isn't that smart. But I was hoping to get turned on to something I didn't already have. Sadly, I was not. All the usuals are represented and it's nice to have them all in one place. There are some she's that weren't on there.....No Alpha, no Soma Sonic, no Morcheeba, no Supreme Beings of Leisure, no Esthero....the list goes on. There are several bands I have never heard of and probably won't go out and seek more of. But it's a nice CD, just not definitive.

This is a truely wonderfull CD. It has tracks from many already established well known bands like Laika and Lamb, and if you are into trip hop you will probably already have these songs in your collection, but the best material on here is the new up and coming bands like Bitstream Dream and Kikiwest who both have gone the indie route on mp3.com, but do some of the slickest trip hop i have ever heard. It's worth a purchase, even if only for tracks 3, 5, and 10.

being a devoted fan of trip-hop, i could not hesitate to get this album and i must say it didn't disappoint me at all! it does get slower on the second half but that doesn't interfere with its quality... it's great, even my mom likes it!

I knew after the first song this CD was a winner. If you like Portishead and Soma Sonic your going to love "She: A Female Trip-Hop Experience". This is a CD that you can sit back and groove to, while sipping on a glass of Merlot. You will be grooven in your house, but you will be feeling like your in that upscale lounge. Don't hesitate, this is one for the collection!!!!

this is the greatest trip hop cd i own. If you like portishead, then i think you will like this cd. It's really mellow and unique. I bought it at a used cd store 4 years ago. I listened to it so much that it wouldn't play my favorite song "purple" anymore. So i bought another one.

This is a pretty good album, usually when you buy compilation albums you get a few really bad songs, but on this cd, there's not one song I don't like..

this whole cd has the most perfect downbeat, trip hop flow to it,added with the luscious smokey female voices, your in for a true treat.

awesome cd, worth every penny...

I picked this cd up after listening to it fully on Tower Records headphones...

My 2 fave tracks are...
*Uneasy - Laika
*My Soul Speaks - Lore

Though the whole cd is steady with no filler... It turned me onto artists I hadn't heard of before and showed me a good range of women artists in the trip hop genre...

The whole cd was really good... Laika and Lore were the highlights for me... It introduced me to some amazing indie
trip hop female artists/musicians... Buy it!!!

just not enough of this genre out there. mostly good, 2 songs got some beats that sound like bad eighties tunes, but the rest stay true to their triphop soul. i usually use it when painting, quite mind altering. would make any music love buy it. just might have to skip , like 2 songs. small price to pay to hear the rest of the magic
