FABULOUS, FABULOUS, -A MUST HAVE.......2007-06-11

There is NO DOUBT that this cd is one of my favorites. It is a gem of exotic sounds, intoxicating beats, and transcendental mixes. I have given them as gifts to my closest ones and they are more than thankful. I believe in supporting artists and I respect their contribution so I still buy my CD's. I HIGHLY recommend you buying this CD there is no way you wont be more than pleased with it! Truly. Claude Challe is at his best with this compilation.

also dissapointed.......2007-01-28

I agree with one of the preceding posts. Why were songs number 4 and 12 taken out of the original release!? Those two songs were absolutely brilliant and replaced by some lame tunes! What was Claude thinking?

Disappointed.......2003-12-06

The CD is pretty good but is missing two tracks from the original release - "King of Trance"-Myxtery and "Fantasia"-Cosmic Baby. They are replaced by inferior selections.

About Time.......2003-12-01

I had given up on looking for this CD. I have found 12" vinyls that were very rare and released in the early 1980's in limited quantities, simply by looking on the Web, ebay and various search engines. Finding this original Title by Claude Challe was impossible. I Even tried to find it by emailing Claude, but that was not successfull. Get your copy of this Re-release while you can. it is a classic and contains many nice tracks. The sound quality of this CD is excellent. I have a feeling, it may have been re-mastered this time. what ever the case may be, I am so happy to have a copy and recommend all world/Fusion music lovers to buy this Title.

The hardest to find cd ever!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-11-21

After 4 years looking for it everywhere (In the U.S. Europe, SOuth AMerica, eBay, etc) and not being able to find even a copy of it, I finally will be able to lay my hands on this awesome cd. Claude Challe is the maximum exponent of Chill Out/World Music, and this was his first cd. Each one of his posterior releases (Lover Dose, Buddha Bar, Oriental Sensations, Nirvana Lounge, Je Nous Aime, Sun) has been a 6 stars out of 5. Way better than Costes, Cafe del mar, Karminsky (which are all excellent in their own right) and on par with the "Chill Out in Paris" series by David Visan (his only worthy succesor). Get your hands on one of this while you can (Challe is known for not letting his cd's become too commercial by releasing a VERY limited number. Believe me...I didn't buy it back in 98 and have regretted it ever since.
