light-house lovers?.......2005-06-16

if you are just starting to like house or electro jazz, this is the right cd for you!!
it just goes by itself!! you start listening the great trumpet intro, and then relax for a great trip.
listen carefully to the whole cd, don't skip the tracks! it will give you the right feeling

SIMPLY BRILLIANT.......2004-11-26

I will recommend this album to anyone whos interested in downtempo/chillout house music. The songs are just so relaxing and the mixing is sublime. I have the 3 chillout house albums and they are all great. Get them all!!!

Kritike Tekhne.......2002-09-07

Typically I don't like House music because the beats are long and tedious and suffer from tired sameness. But this is "Chill House".

This CD was recommended to me by Bruno Lepretre after I wrote a review of his compilation, "Cafe Del Mar, Volumen Nueve". I loved this Volume Nine compilation which is Chill as opposed to the Chill House I am critiquing herein.

However, the production of this CD compilation is fine. One tune flows seamlessly into the other and though the beats are similar (particularly on CD one), the production and the recording is audiophile quality.

Originality is a hallmark as well. Listen to Track 3, "Blowin Drums" by Next Evidence a dissonant Jazz piece.

CD two (my favorite side), opens with, "Tranquility [Original Mix] Mettle Music", a Mark Antoine sounding tune/guitarist. Then you will note the deft transition into the next tune: This formula is repeated throughout the CDs. If you like House this CD may not be for you. If you love Chill/Trance this is again not for you. But if you like to broaden your tastes then this CD is for you. I give this CD five stars because it is original in concept and a great value--make sure you watch the interactive track to yearn to be at Cafe Del Mar, Ibiza.

Soothing mellow house.......2001-11-13

smooth house music, wanna relax? then just put this disk on
i was amazed at the flawless transitions of first 1/2 hr of disk 1 .. very fluid
i like the track "got 2 b u", funky bass and guitar make this
a great choice for a summer night out
for those who likes built up climaxing sound, explosive hard trance house and breaks beware.. you won't find that
as the name of the album suggests, this is a chill house
however, if you have an ear for let's say, the flavor of jazzy house from mark farina, or naked music from miguel migs,
then you have another excellent house compilation.

Fun HOUSE!!.......2001-07-18

I got say that this record was a gift from one friend, (she just thought it was chillout or downtempo,that's why she is just a "friend"). Anyway i decided to give it a try, and it was surprisingly good, considering its a double cd full of house music. First of all its really well mixed, so it keeps you in the same mood all the way through the end. I think disc 1 its better, and includes some highlights like tracks 2,3,7 and 8, disc 2 own a coupple of great tracks: bebel gilberto mix, and track 2. This record its excellent for a party in wich you need something up tempo and groove sound, all in this house compilation.
