5 out of 5 stars Served up cool by the beach!.......2007-01-05

Volume #4 was my first introduction to the Cafe Del Mar series. While I've gradually acquired other titles in this line I have to say that Its the one that best soothes my frayed and tired nerves at the end of the day. Some tunes will literally have you crying out, "Take me away"!.... Ahhhhh... A nice cafe by the beach with some cold ones to sip while feeling the breeze and enjoying a glorious sunset. That in a nutshell keeps me coming back to this release.

5 out of 5 stars Again, this is the best of the collection.......2005-10-06

I normally wouldn't submit a review just to say "I totally agree with everything that he just said". Except in this case. I really enjoy the Cafe Del Mar collection even though many complain that the series is overproduced, too commercial, and generally not the best chill. This is not the time to seek to debunk those reviews. I just finished my collection of volumes 1-9 and wholeheartedly agree that this is the best of all. Volumes 1-2 have some good tracks, but the track flow lacks continuity in tempo and vibe. Volume 3 is closer but it is only in Volume 4 that Jose Padilla gets the full-on chill groove perfectly. Later cds are hit or miss (Volume 9 is back on track!). My two cents.

5 out of 5 stars The Best in the entire collection.......2004-12-17

Cafe Del Mar 4 (Volumen Cuatro) is by far my favorite. I have all the volumes to date, from 1 to 11, but was missing Volume 4, which I just picked up. I LOVE this CD!! Don't get me wrong, all the other Cafe Del Mar volumes are fair to good, with maybe 1 or 2 or 3 very good tracks on each of them. Despite these gems, most of the newer volumes (especially from Vol. 9 onward) tend to sound monotous--you know, the same beat, the same rhythm, the same "sound". But in Volume 4, every song has something new, different, and exciting to offer--and I just can't say that that is true with the other volumes. Volume 4 is the best ecclectic fusion of electronica, jazz, midtempo, and lounge of the bunch. Very cosmo!

5 out of 5 stars A Pearl of the Collection.......2004-09-29

'Cafe Del Mar 4' is one of the most melodic additions to the wonderful series which has come to dominate and perhaps even define the downtempo movement in modern popular music culture. This particular compilation combines a varied range of jazz-symphonic excellence with some edgier rhythms, most suitably espoused by Wasis Diop's No Sant featuring vocals by Lena Fiagbe. The breathtaking and jazzy culmination of this album is Stan Getz's Street Tattoo. The deft blending of natural sounds, such as crickets in the wild and a child's voice in Grillos by Paco Fernandes is simply inspired. Opening the album is the sensuous track Que Bonito by Jose Padilla, a electronic fusion of cymbalon, Spanish guitar, xylophone and bells in an altogether more uptempo arrangement. The energy of this track ordinarily would rule it out of the donwtempo genre, but juxtaposed with Talvin Singh's remix of John Martyn's Sunshines Better, it is a welcome compliment and in fact emphasizes the eclectic nature of this superlative member of the Café Del Mar family.

2 out of 5 stars Not the best CD of all the volumes.......2003-08-01

Well, this volume of Cafe Del Mar is pretty bad, the only good songs are:
Jose Padilla - Que Bonito
John Martyn - Sunshines Better
Chicane - Offshore (Ambient Mix)
Karen Ramirez - Troubled Girl (Spanish Version)
If you can only afford one CD, I will recommend "Cafe Del Mar Volume 9 or Volume 8", but not this one.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars More of the same, and that's a good thing.......2006-08-28

Since we first traveled to Ibiza in 1997 and discovered Cafe Del Mar in person, we've been listening to this series. After we met Bruno in '99 and 2000, we have been hooked on the Chillhouse Series. Great stuff to play at dinner parties and outdoor BBQ's as our friends will nearly always comment on how we "always seem to have great music playing in the background."

5 out of 5 stars Chillhouse 4 eqals probably "Chillhouse Reborn".......2006-01-13

Another cool release from Cafe Del Mar. this new album is a must for every good music lover... Congratulations to mr Bruno!!!
There are some songs that distinguish themselves(as great work.. I'd say: john dahlback - magic touch (and magic saxophone to speak frankly), Filur - Release, Aya - Sean (one of my favourites - great vice and mixing), eminence feat. syreeta neal - slave to the poison (latin interflexoins), gutbrod plus bruno from ibiza - electric blues (cool jazzy stuff), colette - didn't mean to turn you on
All of the songs have a special sound (like all chillhouse albums) and what's even greater for Mr Bruno is that he is able to create each time that unity in his albums that you woun't find in many other works...
Great music, great DJ, A MUST!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Average.......2006-11-08

Though there are a view of excellent chillout listening material on this double compilation, it is mostly filled with average songs - nothing inspiring or innovating. This seems to be the recent trend with the Cafe del Mar series. If this continues, the series will get less popular and die eventually. Not the best Dreams- cd from CDM. Tracks 4 (cd1), 1 & 4 (cd 2) are quite remarkable.
