I AM THE OFFICIAL KING OF CHILLOUT!!!

"I BOUGHT THIS CD OUT OF DEPRESSION...YEEES, THAT'S MY EXCUSE NOW FOR BUYING CDS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS NOW(WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?!?). AT ANY RATE, "CAFE LOUNGE" WITH ITS GENERIC TITLE IS A VERY INTERESTING AND ADVENTUROUS COLLECTION OF SENSUAL CHILLOUT GROOVES THAT HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FEMALE VOCALS AND SAMPLING THROUGHOUT. THE EROTIC OPENER BY NEONFUNK GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE REST OF THE SONGS ON CAFE LOUNGE. THE ENTIRE SET JUST ESCALATES INTO SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE LAST SONG HEARD. AND ALTHOUGH THE TECHNO-TINGED "OBSERVATIONS" BY BLUEFOOT PROJECT AND "OVER MY SHOULDERS" BY REY BREAK UP THE FLUIDITY OF THE ALBUM, THEY STILL SOMEHOW APPROPRIATELY FIT ON THIS COMPILATION. EVERY TRACK IS A STAND-OUT, ESPECIALLY TRACKS 8, 9 AND 10 (LOVE THE VOCALS). IF YOU'RE A DIE-HARD CHILLOUT FAN LIKE I AM, YOU'LL WANT TO OWN THIS ONE, OR AT LEAST SAMPLE IT SOMEWHERE."

Not that great overall but a few really good songs

"So, honestly, I only like this CD for 3 songs. That kinda sucks considering there are 13 tracks. But tracks 2, 3 and 13 are amazing. I've been trying to find more by the artist who does track 3, "transit u.k." 'cause honestly this one track stands out so much compared to the rest of the cd."
