Customer Reviews:

Buddha Bar Specilist,.......2007-04-08

A beautiful collection of smooth rythms
a must for lounge
Check out opera to relax in this collection they have great stuff on cd

Hypnotic and soaring.......2007-04-03

As with all the other Budda Lounge CDs, this is an awesome mix of hypnotic and relaxing music. Unlike some music that's relaxing because it is lifeless, this is relaxing because it allows the mind and spirit to soar and drift in and out of reality. Beautiful.

not really "lounge" per se.......2007-03-15

This is a great new age, instrumental music disc but not really "lounge" per se according to the popular definition set by such things as Hotel Costes, Paris Lounge or Buddha Bar series.

FYI.

what was I thinking?.......2005-12-27

With so much instrumentation in global music, why laaaaaaaaay on that synthesizer? Track 10 was the only cut worth anything.

Not the Buddha Bar Series.......2005-03-03

Nice background music, but definitely NOT the Buddha Bar experience.

Lucid dreaming? .......2007-02-13

Oh, please! I guess it depends on your idea of dreaming.

If you enjoy dozing off with the electric blender on high, then you've gotta place this in your bedroom.

Seriously -- the musicianship is highly competent, and there is an obvious commitment to the entire production. But this CD is not dreamy.

The album title nails it: "Rhythmic FISSION -- digital revisions of classic trax."

A Dreamy Listening Experience.......2004-06-01

This music is ideal accompaniment for lucid dreaming...Some of the tracks are loud,fast, and flashy ("Chasing Bartok" track #1, "Machines" track #10 come to mind) while others are fragile and soothing ("Addio Del Passato" and "Espirito"). Any one of these songs would be a superb compliment to a movie soundtrack--they all have this movie-dream-type quality to them, whether the movie/dream is creepy, beautiful, sad, or just plain experimental electronic music. Tracks 12-14 are heavy on vocals: Track 12 is very similar to the enigma song "Beyond the Invisible", while "I would Kiss You" makes me think of Loreena McKennitt with a dash of techno-renaissance flair, and finally "New World" has its good moments, but sounds a bit Disney-esque. "Addio Del Passato" and "Espirito" are the best tracks on the whole album; they sound like the ideal Anne Rice movie soundtrack selections, with "Addio" serving for any goth-vampire-opera-or-nightclub scenes, and "Espirito" for any childhood flashback scenes (hey, that's just what it sounds like!)...

NOT AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE..........2003-05-31

I immediately jumped on this CD when I saw the fresh new names that don't normally inundate Chillout compilations. I didn't buy "Pure Chillout" because it had too many songs on it that I had on other CDs. And it seems like I shouldn't have bought this one either. True, there are some unknowns (to me) and some heavy hitters in the chillout genre on this set, but the songs do absoulutely nothing for the concept of this CD. They range from ambient grooves to downtempo to jazz to r&b to--what??Techno???!!! Something's wrong with this picture. I think I counted three songs on this set that had techno-ie beats. Now, answer me this: Why do record labels always seem to ease a techno or drum and bass track onto a CD that's meant to relax you? It spoils the whole "chillout" thing. Don't get me wrong, I love techno, just not on a chillout CD. "Pure Chillout 2" has its moments, though, with the opener by Slowpho--one of favorite groups--but "I Wake Myself" is already on another comp CD I own by this same record label..."Dinner at Eight": another lackluster comp CD from Watermusic Records--but I digress. Then there's Funky Porcini's "Dubble" that catches the ear and gets the hips rolling. Lemongrass' "La Mer" is nice and bossa nova-ish. Royksopp's remix of Athome Project's "A Feeling of Care" is cool and funky, and Mark Rae's "Skio" is on point. However, other songs on this set reak of redundancy and stagnation. You're left saying to yourself, "Heard it before when so and so from so and so sang it!" And if I hear another hallucinogenic female singer on a chillout CD, I'm gonna SCREAM!! Buy "Pure Chillout 2" at your own risk. I'm sure somebody will give it five stars---personally, it just didn't do it for me.

Excellent Compilation - Just Not Technically a Chill Out CD.......2006-01-15

'Chill' is a technically a dance track track that unwinds you as the sun is coming up and the DJ wants to ease you into the morning. It must have a beat - otherwise, it's not a chill out track.

The term has been lifted by others to mean anything meditative, new age, world, soft, etc ... so while this is a fine compilation, it is not really a chill out CD.

One disc is actually a fine collection of Trip Hop/near Gao Trance tracks and it's mostly Indian (hence the Gao) but that doesn't really matter, it's solid trip-hop but it's misleading to label anything with vocals in another language 'chill' but I guess it's easier to sell than New Age/World or Trip Hop.

The other disc is also fine (mostly) Indian tracks with some Spanish tracks that is a nice collection of solid tracks but it is most definitely not chill - but again, they didn't want to scare people by labeling it 'world' music which is what it really is.

So, if you're looking for true 'chill' dance tracks - these discs aren't it. If you want some pretty solid trip hop tracks performed by non-English artists, one of the disc will make you happy. If you like to broaden your music horizons, the other disc is fine collection of interesting 'world' tracks so really just minus some stars for trying to mislead you.

This is the worst Chill Out compilation I've heard.......2004-07-17

If this music is considered Chill Out, then apparently David Visan changed the definition of the genre and didn't tell the rest of the world. How french of him! I don't know WHAT this music is. It was either so dull, it bored me to tears, or it was so annoying that I just skipped right through the tracks. I MUCH MORE recommend Stephane Pompougnac's Hotel Costes series, which sounds like ambience meets Edith Piaf (awesome!) and any of the Cafe del Mar series mixed by Jose Padilla (volumes 1 -6). Chill Out in Paris 2 was a total bust and I regret even having bought it.

amaaazzzzinnnnggggg!!!!!!.......2004-04-24

could there ever be a better chill out collection? the answer is NO WAY!!! just lay down and close your eyes while listeniny to that great mix of Arabic and Spanish rythems. Let the music take you there. Enjoy.

Different but not good chill out.......2004-01-06

When I saw the CD first, I had great expectations. This cd is different than other chill out cd, i accept that. The cd has diversity in it and different tones and rthyms. If you want to listen to some strange music, this cd is good for you. but if we look at it as a chill out cd, i would not recommend it to you. Ministry of Sound's Chillout Sessions , Pompougnac's Hotel Costes cds are much better than this one. For archieve, it is a good cd to have anyways.

Five stars doesn't cover it........2002-12-25

David Visan's "Buddha Bar IV" and first "Chillout in Paris" compilation were, to my ear, uneven at best, displays of a wide range of material from the sublime to the uninspired to the downright horrible. But take it from a listener who's addicted to world/chillout music, and who is always seeking out my next, new "fix": "Chill Out in Paris 2" is without a question the ABSOLUTE BEST CD I own of this genre. It surpasses any of my favorites from the "Hotel Costes" and "Cafe del Mar" series. In fact, the only recording that stands up to "Chill Out in Paris 2" is the over-the-moon masterpiece, "Buddha Bar 1" by Claude Challe.

Put this CD in your system and you'll be on a vacation that Alice in Wonderland would envy. Buy it, you can't go wrong. Any of the reviewers who gave this aural gem less than five-stars is simply not a fan of this style of music. Superb, utterly original selections, recorded, mixed and blended beyond perfection.

Go for it!!.......2002-12-03

This is a great collection. This is one of the first CD's of 'chill out music I purchased a few months ago. I bought this largely on the basis of the packaging ( I figured with the amount of production value it had to be at least decent) and the san carlos 1973 label ( a fashion house), which I had some familiarity with.
Well, I have been greatly rewarded.
Do you know when you buy a CD and it just grabs you immediately, and you think that you have heard all the music before, but of course you haven't because it is new music?
Well, that is how I felt upon first listen. The collection starts with more mellow music in the "love category" and becomes more dance like under the second CD called "hate."
I truly love the songs including the "time goes by" (Rolling Stones) cover on the first CD.
I played this at a Thanksgiving party and everyone loved this music: "what is this?"; "where did you get this?" etc. I took this to Maui, and every time I listen to it now it seems like a soundtrack to my trip there.
It is one of my favorite CD's for the last few months and I am sure you will like it too.
The collection has a bit of a Middle Eastern influence, but, man, it is very intoxicating. I don't understand the other review being so negative because so many people who hear this collection ( a constant spin at my house) really enjoy it.

I would recommend this CD to you. If my further purchases indicate anything, I just bought the first collection and I hope it is just as good.

"Chill out in Baghdad"?.......2002-08-09

Chill out in paris is nothing more than a nicely design package. It has an inviting title but would people still buy this cd if it was name "CHILL OUT IN BAGHDAD"?. This album should NOT be file under "Chill out" but rather "NEW AGE". Most of these artists on the cd are like YANNI or ENYA but only unknow. If you consider Enya's music is chill out than i guess this cd is for you.

I am not TRASHING this cd. I am just telling you that it is MISLEADING cd. I do like middle eastern music influence in the chill out scence like TALVIN SINGH or Bardmarsh&Schri. Or that song, Cleopatra in NEW York from the Hotel Costes compilation. Those songs work well with the eastern flavor. But CHILL OUT IN PARIS sound is sooooooo cheesy. When I listen to this cd it gives me GOOSEBUMP, not the good goosebump cause it's emotional but cause it is CHEESY.

Well I spent 10 bucks for the "Chill out inp aris 2" cause it is a promotional cd. But it is still a waste of money. For those people who listens to Kruder&Dormiester, Dimitri from paris, Paris Lounge, Hotel Costes, or even the commercial Ultra Chilled, dont expect to get the kind of chill out you want in this CD. Save your money chill out freaks, hipsters, pretentious snobs. But do buy if you like Enya or Yanni.

Good tracks but hard to find full recordings.......2006-12-12

I really like these CDs, especially the tracks by Oxy-gene, Users Atmosphere, and Amphasis. Great to listen to on head phones when giving a vigorous massage to your lady. But, I can't find CDs by the individual artists. I know that the genre is mixed, foreign to the US mostly, but damn, there are some fine tracks. Of course, D&K's mellow tune Homebound is there and available. I think one of their best tunes off of Freaks and Icons. The eerie Heaven or Hell by Walter Moslan is just that. Safon's Strawberries Delight, Kimiri's Churchottement de la Plage, and Minos 8 with Elysian Fields are just pure chill. All in all, a good pair of disks with enough to please without too much other fill. Plenty of smooth and some wierd. What more can you want?
