CD Reviews

From beach to yoga
East End James | London | 09/11/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Cafe Del Mar was always about cool beachy vibes, the feel was sometimes decadent (perfect for 7am come down sessions). The change came after vol.8. To me it wasn't so much about Jose Padilla leaving, I think it's more to do with their court case which they won (free from Universal Music) so from vol.9 onwards we see new CD artwork and covers, Bruno had little choice but use their new but limited in-house artists. They were more about new age and easy listening. This 25th anniversary album is the perfect example of that, and with so little variation it can easily be used for a yoga session. I liked about 1/3 of the songs here. It's definitely more spiritual with nothing dark in it, even the CD covers nowadays, the sandy beach and the blue sea are replaced by images of new age philosophy graphics and buddha. Just a bit too clean for my liking."
Don't waste your money.

"This collection is crap. Since when did Cafe del Mar become the home of cheesy vocals? Perhaps that's why Gracenote named it's genre as "Easy Listening" rather than "Ambient". There are about 2 decent songs on each of the 3 CD's. The vocals on these songs are sacharine to the point that I had to forward to the next song in disgust. Don't buy this collection."
3 disks of NEW tunes

"This not a compilation of past hits, but 3 disks of NEW tunes.



Great music to put on a 3 stack cd player and lay back and dream that that you're listening to the waves and watching the sun go down.



For a real Greatest Hits of this set, here is my top 14 compilation. Private Session*, Sensual Bay, Volviendo Al Sur, The Call* (another great tune from DAB), Espiral, Innocence, The Meeting, Reflection, Knots*, Boheme, Nuevo Comienzo, La Francaise, Life Time, Sensuality.



With tracks* 1,4 & 9 being my favourites."
