Customer Reviews:

**Let's chill out - light some candles and break out the wine!**.......2007-06-23

Great tunes! I bought this CD because I wanted some music that was sort of like "smooth jazz" but with an Asian ethic vibe and I was happy to get just that. As the title of my review suggests, this is great "chill out" music. I like to light some candles, play the CD, and sip some wine and unwind after a stressful day at the office. Ahhh! To me, this is a little bit of heaven on earth.

Eastern Grooves for Chilling Out.......2006-10-02

Another stellar release from Putumayo, this CD focuses on ambient/lounge music from Asian artists. The whole CD works as a wonderful compilation. As others have said, theres not a single track to skip over. Many of the songs are completely new, and have never been released in North America until now.

Needless to say, the strongest influences on this CD come from the Indian subcontinent. Nitin Sawhney's "Koyal" has a mellow Bollywood sound, complete with flutes and female vocals. Deepak Chopra and Biddu Orchestra both showcase South Asian percussion, while sitars are featured in Nataraj XT's "Space In...". And then theres "Water Down the Ganges", collaberation between Prem Joshua and Manish Vyas that runs for more than 10 minutes! But theres also other stuff too. "Campuhan" by Blue Asia and "Angels of the Island" by Bali Lounge draw upon the rhythmic music of Indonesia. Ancient Future weave together a lively blend of Indian and Chinese sounds. And the Yoshida Brothers mix ambient sounds with traditional Japanese instruments on "Fukaki Umi no Kanata". The final track, "Dreams of Happiness" by XCultures, draws upon and reflects all the same influences as the others and is a perfect ending to the CD. It'll stay with you long after going off.

This is an incredible CD, whether your dancing to it, driving out someplace late at night, or just chilling at home. You'll get hooked on this CD after the first song. Especially, as others have already pointed out, if you liked Putumayo's other CD "Music from Tea Lands". Like that CD, this compilation showcases artists from across the Asian continent, but in this case there is a more ambient/electronica feel to the songs. Nonetheless, the two CDs complement one another perfectly. Indeed, the band Ancient Future is featured on both CDs. If you liked one, then you'll certainly like the other. So do yourself a favor and go out and buy this CD. Your ears will thank you later.

Putumayo's further travels into Asia.......2006-06-13

This is superior to the mixed bag of Asian Groove;it has more variety, but it also sticks to its lounging theme. It is wonderfully meditative. It's a fit companion for Music of the Tea Lands (I've put both in a CD player&put both on random shuffle--they're compatible)

There isn't a single weak track on this.

Highlights-
1)Fukaki Umi No Kanata-It's no wonder the Yoshida Brothers have so many New Age albums.They have the perfect blend of Japanese&electronica.
2)Koyal-A haunting trip-hop take on a Bollywood song.
3)Ja Nam-A reggae take on a traditional Vietnamese song.Ancient Future as great as usual.
4)Bali Lounge-It's loungy.Like "Campuhan" before it,it uses an Indonesian theme.
5)Funky Guru-Wow!Prem Joshua is worth further exploration.This is worth singing along or dancing to.
6)Water down the Ganges-More Prem Joshua.While most pop songs are only 3 minutes long,this clocks in at 11 minutes.And worth every minute.
7)Dreams of Happiness-A haunting song.

While many people would dismiss New Age music as snooze-inducing&synth-heavy (think Yanni or Enya!),this album lays those worries to rest.This album is perfect for lounging,writing,or yoga.

Solid Indian Trip Hop.......2006-02-25

All the tracks are Indian flavored so while it's Asia, it's a pretty narrow focus.

It's not really 'loungey' in the correct dance sense, it's more trip hop - at best, you might call these tracks mid-tempo chill but a more accurate description is trip hop.

Unlike some other discs masquerading New Age as Trip Hop, these are all fine tracks with solid musicianship and are real trip hop tracks.

Other than KOYAL which is a flat out spooky track (and the only actual chill/lounge dance track) - the others all blend into each other - nothing really wrong with consistency but nothing else really outstanding.

Good collection of Asian sounds.......2006-02-25

As an introduction to various artists of this genre it does it's job pretty well. Plus I found it a good addition to my collection.
The tracks selected have depth and interest which stands up to repeated listening.
With the inclusion of such masterful artists such as Prem Joshua this can not help being pretty good.
If you are buying this album, do not bother with getting Asian Groove as it is not up to the standard of this album.

Customer Reviews:

AMasianING album.......2002-05-15

picked up this collection of downbeat house-groove tracks in paris back in june ... and it is truly outstanding. both discs work incredibly well as background ambient chill-out music, but it wasn't until i started listening to them with my headphones that i really caught the subtle nuances that make this album a head above the other club-restaurant atmosphere compilations available. (i prefer this over all of the buddah bar discs, which are also pretty phenomenal.) shun-ty has carefully chosen a wonderful blend of songs to take you on a musical journey through captivating percussive, instrumental (ranging from electronic to ancestral) and vocal elements ... but it is the incredible samples he flawlessly interweaves into the music that will blow you away. from hints of cirque de soleil to random video game voice instruction, and attentive ear will seriously be well rewarded when listening to these terrific discs.
definitely an album you'll want if ever stranded on a desert island.

Awesome, beautiful............2006-01-01

....exotic. Probably the best value for this kind of "new world music"...excellent production, sound quality, and packaging. A dreamy trip to the East on a flying carpet...this set goes down deep, flies high, slows and flows sweetly...

I've collected this genre for 10 years, and you can either pay a LOT of money for an import by Claude Challe (France) or take a chance on this unknown brand. Personally, I recommend doing BOTH!

***COOL CHILLOUT VIBES***.......2007-06-23

I wasn't sure what to expect with this CD - the title suggests "lounge music" which I have found to mean a relaxing, chill out vibe (kind of "smooth jazz-ish") but then the title also mentioned these are "club tunes" and I thought maybe they might be dance tracks. It turns out to be more "chill out" than "dance" but VERY, VERY good. I didn't recognize an Asian vibe in every track but maybe that's just me and my interpretion of what sounds "Asian". However, I was NOT disappointed! There are 25 songs on two CDs and I like them all! I can also say the same thing about this album that I said about Putomayo Presents Asian Lounge CD - this music is great to play after a hard day at work - light some candles, drink some wine, and unwind!!!

GGGGGRREAT!!!!!.......2004-06-06

These 2 CDs are definitly worth every cent... The mix of music is excellent - electronica flavoured music from the Middle East to India to South East Asia to ect ect. I couldn't be more happy with this compilation..

WOW!.......2002-01-07

I recently was introduced to electronica by a friend (he shares a cubicle with me at work, so I was "forced" to listen to it) and I fell in love with the beats and rhythms. So, instead of usually asking his advice on what album to buy, I took a risk and picked up Asia Lounge. Oooooohhh how nice of a risk that was! This set is off the chain! Makes me feel like chillin' in a smoke-filled club, sippin' on Grand Marnier, diggin the mad sounds of this cd. To me, the sweetest track is Voladores. If anyone is reading this, buy this album! Sweeeeet.
