Classic Chill.......2007-04-04

If you are like me and have wondered where the creativity and intricate beauty of modern jazz has gone, worry no more. TJ Rehmi has taken it and replanted it solidly in the soil of electronic chillout.
The Warm Chill is the perfect chill album because it is intelligent and well crafted enough to demand your attention, and smooth and sensual enough to let it just groove in the background.
Enjoy.

Worth every penny.......2004-02-11

This is by far one of the best CDs I have spent money on in the last few years. I was introduced to TJ Rehmi by a friend who got his CD while in England and then played it for me. TJ has a way of infusing his sultry chill out tones with exotic eastern melodies that just elevates his music above all others. If you are into chill out scene then you'll love THE WARM CHILL. I highly recommend it.

Album Description

In da club. In the lounge. In the way that says "night time is the right time," singer/songwriter/musician Minga captures the smoldering essence of after-hours cosmopolitan life. Flipside, her debut solo effort, features a sultry union — Minga's sensual vocal vibe wrapped around warm jazz textures and chill R&B grooves.

One of a Kind!.......2006-07-08

I've never heard anything like this before. I don't know if it jazz, cool jazz, lounge, chill out, or what kind of music it is. I just know it blow my mind away!

Perfectly is the best of the best. The VERY BEST of Minga.

I wonder when we'll see a full release of Minga songs? C'mon I can't believe she's a "one-hit-wonder" at all! I guess she has a lot of potential, and this CD demonstrates that.

Glad to have seen that cheap movie that made me listen to Minga...

Blew My Mind.......2004-03-17

Minga, it seems, is one of those "sweet secrets" in music. I say "secret" because this CD is such a cool surprise, I'm around a lot of music, and I've yet to see Minga on MTV or VH1. But from the way her music sounds, that should only be a matter of time, I guess.

Anyway, Flipside is an EP. It's only got five songs, but when you consider they're all great, I'd say that's a good batting average, huh? My favorites: The first track "Good" and the title song, "Flipside." The former is serious chillout, downtempo-style sexy -- something you groove to with a glass of something in your hand (I work at a trendy NYC bar/lounge, so I know!). The latter is funky and uptempo, with cool horns and a cool rap interlude. Basically, if you want something special, Minga delivers!

Solid Sounds.......2004-03-17

On Flipside, Minga proves that her writing talents are on a par with her solid singing ability and musicianship. She especially displays a knack for juxtaposing her velvety voice over instrumentation that enhances the sensuality of each song, making Flipside the perfect CD for a night "IN."

Wickedly Seductive.......2004-03-04

Minga's smoothness is her strength, as her delivery epitomizes the very laid back, very sexy themes of Flipside. Complimented by solid songwriting and dreamy-to-danceable instrumentation, her sultry vocals parlay the smoky romanticism of retro-jazz greats into a satifyingly modern R&B sound, making this an absolutely astounding debut.

Album Description

Escape to paradise as gentle trade winds caress you in this luxurious hideaway beside the tranquil waters of a blue lagoon. On a perfect crescent of white sands, our legendary seaside DJs demonstrate their mastery of the chill-out mood as they spin a soothing set of breezy rhythms, sensuous vocals, and smooth grooves from around the planet. Your body and mind slow down as you relax to these European favorites such as Althea W., TAU, Joe Weineck, Urs Fuchs, Artemisia, David Gordon Hands Upon Black Earth, Ashronr and The Moontrane Conductors, all hand selected and mixed by global music producers and artists the Gordon brothers (Café de Luna, Buddha-Lounge). Let all stress just melt away as you sit back with a cool drink, dip your feet in the warm crystal water and drift away under the endless sky… The perfect soundtrack for socializing, intimate nights, yoga or just chillin'.

"If you like music with a Balearic/Cafe del Mar sort of vibe, the latest compilation by producers David & Steve Gordon (BUDDHA-LOUNGE, CAFE DE LUNA) will have you reaching for the volume dial with one hand and a bottle of suntan lotion with the other. The grooves are kept at a comfortable low simmer throughout the course of the album, giving the whole non-stop block a breezy, summery feel. This would be a great album to have playing by the poolside or while hanging out at the beach. Most of the tracks favor nylon string guitars and smooth ambience as their principle instrumentation, while mild trip-hop beats give the album a nice, leisurely pace. A few of the tracks have vocals incorporated that likewise fit a "sunset on the beach" atmosphere. ~ Music Design In Review

Too Chilly.......2007-03-09

I usually really enjoy Chill music, but this one just left me cold.

Not tropical .......2007-02-17

There is no music in this Cd that you would ever hear in the islands.
This is one of the worst cds I have listened to. It is absolutely
boring. The songs are boring and dull. I would not recommend it.

Pure Fluff...*puke*.......2006-01-31

Ok...this label really is putting out some of the fluffiest music in new age/chillout. I think they should stick with the new age stuff like garden of serenity and chakra in my back pocket. Please stop putting out wallpaper music...

A Musical Tropical Vacation !!!!.......2005-08-20

I LOVE this CD!!! I originally found this through iTunes and bought it digitally, but I just had to have he CD too. The music on this Sequoia Groove outing ranges from upbeat and whimsical tiki lounge music to smooth cool chill-out with a bit of Caribbean jazz thrown into the mix. My favorites are Win Meyerson's Feriado (Island Mix) and 66 Answers to 33 Questions from Urs Fuchs. Also beautiful tracks from David Gordon and Artemisia. This is perfect summer driving music or for listening to at the beach or poolside. I played it at a recent BBQ gathering and my friends just soaked it up and loved it. It's the perfect chillout lounge mix for summer. Grab a long cool tropical drink with an umbrella in it and let your ears swim in the warm musical waters of this wonderful CD.
