Customer Reviews:

Very relaxing and cool.......2006-08-01

This is definitely chilled music, very relaxing and catchy tunes, it almost makes me think it's quiet and cool like a winter night. Very nicely done as usual for HK!!

Yeah, this is a good one.......2006-03-18

Sweet forlorn female vocals with fresh lyrics in wondrous arrangements...."Blame it on the Moon" and all that surrounds it keeps me coming back for more. A rare case where the CD 2 might be the better one. Everyone asks me to play this one again.

A solid compilation.......2005-11-09

VERY different from other Hed Kandi type albums - winter chill provides an eclectic mix of downbeat but involved songs. Some are very new (Sugababes 'stronger'), while others have been around for nearly a decade (Mazzy Star 'flowers in December') - but all strong tracks that together make a great soundtrack for what (I think) would be a fabulous movie. Best surprise track for fans of "Six Feet Under" is on disc 1 Sia, "Breathe Me" this was the song played in the very end of the last episode - it's a cryer.

Other highlights, Goldfrap, Lamb, Frou Frou, Eventide, and Snow Patrol - chances are if you love one of those artists, you'll like, or love, the others too.

Not so great - the instrumentals (disc 1; tracks 8, 9 - which are... well boring).

I reccomend this album to those who loved the Garden State soundtrack - but I would go so far as to say this is better... yes better.

Great mix of chill music.......2005-09-20

I really like the cd. It had songs that I'd never heard of and made me really take a look at some artist I otherwise would've never even heard of. Great way to find up and comers.

Another great entry in the winter chill series.......2005-05-23

The latest WINTER CHILL compilation is great. 32 tracks spread out over two discs. Some nice easy listening. Disc one is filled with great songs like "Stronger" by Sugababes, Sia's "Breathe Me", Mantra feat Linda Oliveri "Lullaby", Goldfrapp "Black Cherry", Eventide feat Robina's "And I...", Frou Frou's "Hear Me Out", FC/Kahuna's "Hayling" and more. Disc two has great songs like Mazzy Star's "Flowers In December", Lamb "Wonder", Late Night Alumni "Meant To Be", Natalie Imbruglia "Cold Air", Alpinestars "Burning Up" and more.
