The New Classic Chillout Album - From Dusk Till Dawn

Rubbish. Listen to the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped. A two disk set of which the first is not even chillout music, it is up-tempo dance music. The second disk is closer to the genre but less than half of them I'd ever want to listen to again. I have the first album in this series which is truly excellent and definitely a classic, and the second album is OK, but this one is poor. The law of diminishing returns applies.

i was looking for an album that would help me to relax after a stressful day. Instead i found this album full of perfect chill out tunes, some you know and some you don't. From the beautiful You Showed Me by the Lightning Seeds to the chillout anthem Lazy by X-press 2 the CD flows calmly, mixing the laid back with the slightly uptempo. For me the mix of the Gershwin classic Summertime, combined with the blissful calm of Zero 7 make this shine out. The wonderful Moonlight River in Spring is great and a large number of these songs will have your brain ticking as you wonder where you've heard them before. The mixture of old, Tubular Bells, and more contemporary, DB Boulevard's Point Of View, only help to enhance this albums appeal. There is also a nice mixture of vocal and instrumental including the Opera Babes which is a lovely relaxing song, also a reminder of the World Cup. It seems that no chillout collection can be complete without a Groove Armada song and this one is one of my favourites, My Friend, easily another classic from the leaders of chillout music.If you're looking for an album to relax to, with some songs that you recognise and others you don't then this is the one for you. The blend is balanced so that you can relax, or wake up gently, with it split into Dusk and Dawn. Whatever your mood this album can be played, not just for those stressful times.Everyone should own at least one Chillout album and this isn't a bad one to start with.

I bought this album when it first came out and somehow lost it over the years. This was an excellent buy with speedy delivery. The album is still my absolute favourite of all the chillout albums with an awesome variety of classical, electro and advert music to soothe the mind while still feeling really modern and contemporary.EGBWx

Quite nice to have different listening modes for each CD.

Fall of chill out music

An excellent double album that can ease you into the Chill or pump you up when working out - a curious mix but a definite "must have". I use it to wind down in the sauna or to wind up (more side one) in the gym - a set of discs for everyone. Definitely a tad better than most of these "chillouts" around at the moment, with a more professional sound and a careful, considered thought to the sequencing. Cool.

I used to own this disc years ago but misplaced the Dusk disc which happens to be my favourite. Since replacing it has bought back good old memories and the compilation of songs still have me loading this up to listen to again.There happens to be two songs "deliver me" and "because" which I remember from before and I love listening to these songs.

totally disappointed , far from being able to chill-out it kept me on edge wile playing.
