The Chillout Session Vol.2 (Audio CD)

Yes its better than the first one !! A definate improvement with some great tracks. However they still persist with some uptempo numbers that i have a hard time "chillin out" too. Oh yes, before i forget, why do the guys who compile these things always put a track like "At the river" that seems to appear on every other compilation you come across. Good track though it is, a little more originality would be nice.

Blissful Beats! I prefer this to the 1st one. Well chosen tracks. Highlights for me would be the exellent Massive Attack "Weather Storm",the "Guitarra G" track and the superb Zero 7 track. Its just a shame that we still get the same old tracks on some of these compilation albums, such as Chicanes Offshore and Jakatta. Very enjoyable cd's though, but i still rate the Cafe Del Mar Cd's as the best chill out collection so far.

Chillout Session 2 is just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET BLISS !!The first cd includes many great tunes including 'groove armada - at the river', and 'eyemonster - daydream'. Most of the songs on cd1 are amazing, but i would not classify all of them as 'chillout tunes'.tunes such as 'pepe deluxe - before u leave' are excellent,but do somewhat ruin the chillout atmosphere of this cd.But cd2 is just beautifully put together, and gets me to sleep so fast. tunes like 'faithless-drifting away',and 'delerium-silence' make this album just so COOL!.The best tune on the whole album by far, is 'zero7 - give it away',and overall i think that there should be a place for this cd in everyones music collection.If u like chillout,then BUY THIS.Well done MOS !!!!!!!!!!!

Just as good as the first one!!! This was quite an impulse buy and was attracted by the brilliant 'daydream in blue' by i monster. Because it seemed to be churned out too quickly, after the massive success of the first one, I thought it might be a bit poorly put together, but I was wrong...oh, so wrong! Like the first one, I prefer CD 1 but still love CD 2. Songs from i monster, dido, pepe deluxe, groove armada and faithless all stand out, and there's other solid songs from bands who featured in the first one, such as bent, lemon jelly and kinobe. Just buy it, it's too good not to have, and that goes for the first one if you haven't got it...

Smooth downtempo compilation with some standout tunes Another nicely downtempo compilation from the Ministry. Tracks span a wide variety of styles; there's a fair few standout singles as well as some very relaxing mellow house. The first half of the first disk is extremely strong, twinning I Monster's "Daydream in Blue" with Groove Armada's "At the River". The collection is fairly eclectic: as with all good compilations, there's something for everyone here. The tracks bounce around in time a bit - it's not all bleeding edge new release, as evidenced by the presence of Bentley Rhthym Ace and Underworld - but that's hardly a bad thing. The liner text basically claims that chillout and the whole chillout scene are a brand-new phenomena of 2001; funny, I remember reading the same sort of thing when The Orb brought ambient to the mainstream in '91... Overall, though, an excellent downtempo compilation that hits the high points of the recent scene with a nod to some older tunes. Highly recommended.
