1.0 out of 5 stars Ultra Lazy Effort, June 9, 2005

This review is from: Ultra Chilled 5 (Audio CD)

A big fan of the Ultra Chilled compilations since their stellar first effort, this latest incarnation is deeply disappointing. Not only does it feature old songs (The Postal Service? Nina Simone?), it includes music that was already used--"Angels" by Wax Poetic and Norah Jones (albeit in a SLIGHTLY different form)--on last year's Ultra.Chilled 04.

Ultra.Chilled used to be a great way to discover up-and-coming artists, or explore some lesser-known names in the genre. By including mainstream artists like Moby (and to some extent, The Postal Service), the series has become about as creative as the NOW compilations.

More importantly, the music collected here is poorly mixed, and just plain unenjoyable. These two discs are the very opposite of what they should be--easy listening. Not surprisingly, the strongest track is from Federico Aubele, who's signed to Eighteenth Street Lounge music, the label created and maintained by the geniuses behind Thievery Corporation. Instead of this album, I'd recommend anything on the ESL label, purveyor of some of the spiffiest and most polished chillout music around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different, but still great, February 12, 2006

It does feature a somewhat different, more eclectic, variety of songs than featured previously on this series, but it works very well for me. Much like the "Back To Mine" series, this set shows that there is a lot of variety to what can be called chillout. And just like the previous volumes in this series and the "Back To Mine" albums, this one has been a big hit with my friends at cocktail parties.

I was absolutely thrilled with volumes 1-4 in this series. This was, stylistically, more jazzy than chill. It has been a couple years since they released a chill colection. I think that after the feedback they got on this one, they gave up. Nooooo- Just bring back the producers on 1-4!
