Product Description
Challe is the Mastermind of the First Two Original Buddha Bar Compilations. His Expertise and Keen Sense of Mixing Different Styles of World Musics were Tapped Once More to Create the Soundtrack for Another of Paris' Most Tasteful Club/Lounges. The Challe Magic is Again in Full Effect Here, as his Penchant for Choosing Only the Best and Most Interesting Recordings that Most Westerners Would Never Be Exposed to Otherwise Has Obviously Been Working at Full Capacity. As Before, Each of the Discs Recordings Revolve around a Theme of Slower Pieces Vs. The More Uptempo.

Customer Reviews:

Fantastic compilation.......2007-04-07

One of the best Ambient, Trip-hop doble CD set of all the times, Claude Challe is a genius of the world music mix, his choices are intoxicating.

Zen Music.......2004-06-07

I beg to differ with the previous review. Claude Challe is the original Buddha Bar DJ. His view on Zen/Ch'an is very deep. I will not go into detail, but Claude Challe knows what music is. He may be getting old, but he has not lost his touch yet. Just have a listen to this music and you are transcended in to a world that you wish you could capture. The Buddha Bar comparison is unwarranted. If you like chill-out music with oriental sounds from India/Arabia/Europe, this is the music you should be seeking. I have searched for it all my life. Mentally uplifting, Challe works better than SSRIs. His mixes tend to show you the way to a Great Awakening. The journey to happiness begins with a good music album. Enjoy the ride...
