sooooo soothing.......2007-01-22

When I first played the CD I wasn't sure that I liked all of it. As I continued to play it at work, in the car etc. it seemed to calm my inner
spirit. For a reason I couldn't explain I found myself playing it alot, this music speaks to me on a deep level. I find myself returning to the CD again and again when I am in need of serenity. I have alot of new age/jazz selections. I highly recommend this one, but give it a chance, don't judge it by the first listen. My coworkers request it often.

Diverse and Serene.......2004-11-21

Sequoia Records is shaping out to be one of the finer labels for music that's sure to entrance and relax you. They put together some of the best compilations and 'Cafe De Luna 1' (there's also a volume 2 now available) is an excellent collection of downtempo world-grooves that are just as good, if not better, than anything I've yet to hear from the Buddah-Bar Lounge or the Cafe Del Mar series, which is saying a lot. There's a wide range of musical styles here that are sure to please just about any ambient-chillout seeker but my one and only gripe is, as lovely as all the melodies are, they tend to sound repetitious at times and I enjoy music that is ever-changing and unpredictable so for that I drop a star. However, the album as a whole is very consistent and I don't find myself skipping tracks like a do with other, similar collections. When I listen to this specific genre I prefer to become immersed in a sea of tranquility, if you will, and I want that uninterrupted. 'Cafe De Luna' does that for me and the rhythms blend and interweave practically unnoticed so that is a definite plus.

Elegant and Sophisticated World/Chill-out mood.......2003-08-03

I have a huge collection of chill-out compilations, but this one which is put together by David & Steve Gordon, who also created the wonderful Buddha-Lounge series, is absolutely exceptional. The CD starts out right in the cool downtempo-world groove and stays there throughout, without any inferior tracks to interrupt the mood. You can play this entire CD and rest assured that the atmosphere will stay right where you want it. There are many great exotic world-trance tracks from European artists which stand out from the crowd of the chill-out compilations I have heard. This is world downtempo the way it is meant to be - good to the last track.

Cafe De Luna is a Delight.......2003-06-06

This is the third and latest release from Sequoia records chill-out focussed sub-label, Sequoia Groove, which recently released Buddha Lounge 2, the follow up to the 2002 precursor of the same name, compiled by World Beat music purveryor Steve Gordon. This new downtempo release is a departure from the Buddha-Lounge series offering a distinctively European flair from well known artists from Sequoia Gooves' other releases as well as several new artists I had never heard before. My favorite tracks are from Eroc & Urs Fuchs entitled Aqua Acclivis as well as David & Steve Gordon's inspiring Guardian Spirit (Club Mix) and Opera to Relax's Soul Spaces the last track on the disc. Steve Gordon has done an exceptional job in fusing the downtempo chillout electonica vibe with a distinctive spirtual flavor that blends the best of the Chillout and World Beat genres into a teriffic ecclectic mix. Your ears will savor the great relaxing international flavors. Really unique & exceptional !

Cafe De Luna 2 is a Musical Summer Vacation !.......2004-10-27

The second in the Cafe De Luna series, Cafe De Luna 2: Mediterannean Chill is like a musical Summer vaction to Ibiza. This is a very cool set of pure downtempo chill-out grooves with a distinctly European flavor. This music is perfect for relaxing to while upbeat enough to keep the listener engaged. I have found this to be the perfect music for setting just the right mood at dinner parties with friends or driving along your favorite stretch of coast road on a warm summer day, or just popping on when you need a reminder that there are those unforgettable summer days that seem to drift on for an eternity. I highly recomend both this CD and it's predecessor.

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.
