Album Details

He May Not have Invented the Lounge CD Collection, but He Might as Well Have. Claude Challe Perfected the Concept of a Music Soundtrack Played in the Clubs, Restaurants and Lounges that When Sequenced Properly, the Mix Itself Became King. He Started with the Set for "Les Bains", on to the Rai House Fusion "Flying Carpet" and Eventually Landing in the "Buddha Bar. The First of the Buddha Bar Series is Regarded as the Epitomy of the Lounge Collection, Incorporating Music from Obscure Sources and Helping Bring them to the Listener Conditioned on Pop. This Triple Disc Set Draws the Best Tracks from all of Challe's Many Collections and Compiles the Creme in One Fantastic Ear Opening Set, Divided Into Themed Discs of Life, Love and Dance, it also Includes New Classics that Fit Wonderfully Into the Sets. Each Package Comes with a Sample of Lanvin's Fragrance "Arpege Pour Homme" in the Initial Copies.

Customer Reviews:

WOW. Amazing. Great. Perfect. Dazzling........2006-04-13

No matter what the price of this CD, it's a great value - if you love all music exotic, exotica, exotic trip hop, pop trip hop, easy listening, chill, lounge and classic house - this has it all - and unlike a lot of lounge/chill collections that just throw in a lot of tracks - most of them nondescript - this collection is dazzling in its professionalism, coolness and true artistry.

This is the collection you'd put together if you could listen to 50,000 tracks from around the world and select the best 40 or so - for listening, for fun, for dancing, for chilling or for being cool - this/these CD is/are everything great.

Why I listen to Claude Challe.......2005-12-28

Claude Challe's music is undeniably the best in this genre. I have tried hard to listen to other mixes, but I always come back to the old master. If you've never tried Claude Challe, this is a great way to introduce yourself to Claude Challe. The three CDs included in the box go as far back as Buddha Bar I. For those of you who already own every single Claude Challe CD, you'll be pleasantly surprised as this mix puts a new spin on previously released songs.
Bonjour,

The Best of Claude Challe.......2005-11-03

I heard this cd from a friend during my visit to Dubai. It is a great cd; exactly what I expect from a great DJ, Claude Challe. I have heard virtually all these popular tunes before, since I have the entire collection from Mr. Challe, who I admire dearly for his wonderful works in the music history.

On the other hand I am very disappointed in Amazon's business ethics that they still have not mailed my cd, The Best of Claude Challe, which was ordered on September 1, 05. They raised the prices long after my order but did not stay honorable to their advertised price and raised additional $ 10. I contacted Amazon a few times but they still have not sent my cd, although they promised to do so two weeks ago (by 10/19/05), without raising the price of my order. My order is still pending......................disappointing, very disappointing from a company of this caliber.

Great Buy! (Once Amazon sends it to you).......2005-11-02

This CD is without a doubt Claude's best! All three cds are packed with fantastic tracks that exhibit many different types of electronica from around the world. My favorite track has to be track 10 on cd 2 called "60 Seconds" by Audio Deluxe.

On a side note though, I have heard this cd through a friend and not Amazon. I have had this cd pre-ordered at Amazon.com since September 19 at their pre-order price of $32.99, and I still have yet to receive it. They now are listing the same CD at a higher price that supposedly ships within 24 hours, however, they will not answer my questions as to where my pre-ordered cd is! I am thinking of reporting Amazon to the Better Business Bureau since they write that pre-orders are handled in the order that they are recieved, but this is obviously not the case.

What they should really say is "Pre-orders are handled in the order that they are received, unless we get an overwhelming demand for it in which case we will up the price and forget about those pre-orders."
