Chillout (PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!)

HI All

By tomorrow...our chillout album of the month feature will be up and it is something I thought about in the very beginning when I first came here. Lots of ppl kept asking me, where can I find good chillout and I have responded to the masses (if there is many...hehehhee). Every month (hopefully bi-weekly....i will review a chillout cd).

Anyway...in the meantime....I want suggestions for albums to cover....they can be old or new.

FYI....ulrich schnuass's two albums will be covered sometime within two months.

When the feature is up....I want ppl's comments via email or pm about this...new feature....new type of music....but something that ppl need suggestions on....so suggest away but I WANT TO KNOW WHY you suggested the following cd...maybe a paragraph at the most....oh the label that it is on...would also be helpful for me.

That's great news!!! I like chillout & ambient stuff alot so I'm looking forward to the reviews. Hmm.. i'll recommend these 2 albums:

José Padilla - Souvenir (Mercury Records, UK, 1998; 558 644-2)
01. Orientation (5:12)
02. I Like Clowns (6:19)
03. Who Do You Love (5:53)
04. Blues For Ibiza (4:45)
05. Bossa Rosa - Vocal Version (5:40)
06. Collega (7:41)
07. Alive (6:50)
08. Train To Nottingham (5:39)
09. Now For Us (6:20)
10. After The Dance (4:16)
11. Close To You (6:33)
12. La Mar (3:37)

José Padilla - Navigator (Dro East West SA/Warner Music Group, Spain, 2001; 8573-88013-2) ***
01. Something (4:36)
02. Las Cazuelas - 2000 Remix (4:36)
03. Bosaxi - Touched Mix (6:03)
04. Navigator - Part 1 (6:47)
05. Adios Ayer - Fresh Mix (4:29)
06. Karyn (5:40)
07. Lontano (5:39)
08. Dynamic Earth - Gravity Mix (5:30)
09. Navigator - Part 2 (6:52)
10. Strolling (4:37)
11. Niña (3:40)
12. The Look Of Love (4:21)

*** There are a few other versions of the album as well, other one on Mercury Records.

I picked these 2 albums because i want to get reviewed something a bit different from the usual trancy style chillout albums from the likes of Red Jerry, Solar Stone etc. Padilla is the creator of the "Café Del Mar" series and those compilations got me addicted to Padilla's Spanish influenced sounds since mid 90s. When Souvenir came out, i was soo happy. Its an amazing, warm sounding album (btw, Chicane Remix of Who Do You Love is amazing!), while Navigator is more synthetic sounding. Hope you review these or at least either one. Wink
