absolutely awful!.......2005-03-03

This had to be one of the worst CD's I've ever purchased... I managed to cull 12 songs out of the 2 CD set ("Indian Touch, Tea Party in Bombay, La Maison, Secret Place, Lili S'En Fout, Laurence d'Arabie, Kardia Mou Min Anisiheis, Dallam, Gran Curazon, Finest Dream, Batwannis Beek, White Darbouka").

Depending on your CD copier/recorder and mixing skills, the above list makes a satisfying 62 minutes of music. Otherwise, the flow and music on this CD are awful.

The nice suprise was Antonis Remos' "Kardia Mou Min Anisiheis,"
(Greek) which I liked so much, it compelled me to buy one of his albums - I practically know the (phonetic) words by heart!

The 7th song on the first CD is what got me hooked on this CD. After listening to it for about a million times, I finally allowed the CD to play its natural flow. That allowed the true nature of Claude Challe enter the room. Once again his Buddha Nature is felt everywhere. Claude Challe creates an ambiance created in hotel lounges of the 70s and perhaps of the 60s. However, I would like to think of his music as a virtual Casablanca that simply continued from the famous Humphrey Bogart - Ingrid Bergman movie. Sit back, close your eyes, and you're in your favorite place.
The second CD does set a different mood, but it's a good mood nonetheless. If only they could play this music on MTV...

Challe-tabulous.......2003-12-07

Took me a while to get into it, but once you've reached the Claude Challe zone you'll never want to leave. Every track on CD1 is top-notch. CD2 is very clubby, but not so much as to jar the new-found chill-out zone that the first CD has put you in. Looking for something to buy after the five Buddha Bar CDs? This is a great starting point.

Claude Challe Rules!.......2003-12-03

I have come to appreciate world beats and music from all around because of this great master we call Claude Challe. I saw Claude in a live concert he did in Lebanon in the summer of 2003. It was a night of complete grooviness. He just made it feel so magical. Ask anyone and they'll say they were in a trance that night.

Claude Challe has been able to capture the essence of good music. This CD will surely persuade you. Buy it...you'll discover what music is all about.
I first started listening to this music when i borrowed the Buddha Bar III CD from a friend and it just blew my mind away. Ever since ive been hooked up on this music. Then I celebrated my 18th Birthday at the Buddha Bar in Paris. Imagine how i felt!!

If you want to feel like you have no worries in the world (atleast for a nite) you better get those CDs! Claude Challe Rules!

A true journey.......2003-09-15

As in all Claude Challe compilations, here comes an album satisfying in all aspects. The challenge to combine or blend the easterly with the westerly is not an easy one, but Challe manages this just well.

To the western ears, this is a trip into the depths of the east in a fun and grroooovy way.

Literally all tracks are magnificient.

I have all albums by Challe and this is one of the best ones.
