The Chillout Session: Ibiza Sunsets

Not as relaxing as I thought it would be , some tracks slightly annoying not chilling

A great cd to chill out to at anytime. Fantastic memory tracks!! Close your eyes and the sun will shine

Classic tunes to chill to on your hols as a avid collector of Ministry of sound this isn't one of the best but i still think its a good CD.If you are wanting to buy this CD i would see if the price comes down a bit first.

Plenty of classics here no doubt about that, the Ministry Chill Out is probably opening up the casual dance market to artists and tracks they wouldn't have heard before. This selection mines alot of obvious choices from acid house past (Frankie Knuckles, Beloved, Sueno Latino), the Madchester House scene (Stone Roses, Heller & Farley on The Farm, Primal Scream), and just some plain classic purveyors of chill and electronica (Aphex Twin/Polygon Window, The Orb, Future Sound Of London). So top marks on selection, REALLY good tracks. So why isn't this the best Chill Out CD of all time? Well its this, it just seems to lack soul. Probably created by someone who has plucked out ALL the obvious chill classics with an eye on the money making and not on the love for the music. The mixing is a bit shambolic in sections, key clashes and absolutely no imagination. Its a bit sickening when DJs who craft a decent mix, perhaps without the headline acts but STILL with quality, get overlooked and this is seen as the pinnacle of chill. It wasn't always this way. Ministry's Late Night Sessions mixes were absolute chill quality. So please, dump the computers and the tracklistings by marketing and get real DJs back in.Still I could just be picky and moody, but I fancy just a little bit more that just another chill collection. For a casual buyer, this is ideal ... hell, this is sat on my desk right now, ready to be wrapped up for my girlie! Plus it'll be nice to hear stuff like Little Fluffy Clouds and We Are The Music Makers (with awful sound recording intact!) come from something she puts on! ;)So if you're a casual dance fan buyer, give it a try, you will probably like it. Just make sure you go further, check out the artists on here and see what else they do. If you fancy a bit more substance to your chill out, perhaps head off to the (still commercially viable) Back To Mine series with the likes of Faithless, Everything But The Girl, Nick Warren, Groove Armarda, Danny Tenaglia at the controls.
