Warning on counterfeit versions of this CD

"I am editing my previously posted review of this CD because the compilation "Chill Out in Paris 4" that I bought from an Amazon third-party reseller is, in fact, a fake.



I've checked the Amazon tracklist on this CD against the copy that I received in the mail, and the playlist on my copy of "Chill Out in Paris IV" (note that the one I received has a Roman numeral IV and not a 4) does not at all match the playlist cited here on Amazon. In fact, the playlist on the "Chill Out in Paris IV" CD that I received consists of tracks lifted almost entirely from Buddha Bar VII. The first seven tracks on my CD are from the "Sarod" CD of Buddha Bar VII and the next eight tracks are from the "Sarangi" disk of Buddha Bar VII. Then somebody threw in B-Tribe's "Angel Voices" to finish it off, which is the only track not on the two-CD Buddha Bar compilation, that I can tell.



This CD appears to be a promo for the Buddha Bar compilation and not a brand-new release after all. In fact, even the art work on the CD that I received does not match the art work shown here, and as I pointed out earlier, the one I received has a "IV" versus a "4."



I have all three previous Chill Out in Paris compilations (those mixed by David Visan), and I think that all three of them are really good and hold up well over time -- gorgeous tracks, eclectic, evocative. However, this one is a real head scratcher.



I would love to hear from other buyers to see if they received the same peculiar CD that I did. I believe that there is a counterfeit CD making the rounds with the same name as this one. I advise you to buy your copy directly from Amazon and not from a reseller! Let the buyer beware. Thanks."

Ripoff

"Pieces taken from the most recent Buddha Bar CD.



This is a ripoff."

Amazingly beautiful collection ...

"Whatever the source, this is one of the most beautiful collections of so-called chill I've ever heard. If you're looking for wallpaper music, this may not be it, because one cannot help listening. From the almost operatic vocals (along the line of Emma Shapplin) to the loungey mixes (and excellent sound production), no one will complain when you put this in the player."
