"Wow ! Buddha lounge 5 is off the charts. This series from Sequoia Groove just keeps getting better and better. I especially love Hands Upon Black Earth's "The Star & The Snake" , Artemisia's "Her Infinite Variety" and "El Momento" from Jens Gad. This music really takes you places. Just put it on and prepare youselves for the ultimate chill experience. Super-subtle beats and electronic ambiance blend with exotic acoustic instruments and vocals to make this a really exceptional album. Take a listen to the sample tracks and you'll see what I mean."
Another Chill-out classic!!!

"Another splendidly chill release from the Sequoia Groove label. There are some really exceptional tracks here that should not be missed. Take a listen to the samples for Jens Gad's "El Momento", TYA's "Deep Blue", Hands Upon Black Earth's "The Star & The Snake" (my favorite!) and MTC's "Shining" for some sensuously sweet examples of the latest in downtempo chillout/lounge bliss. Another chill-out classic!"
So glad there is yet another!

"I consider myself a music enthusiast to the max and love this entire anthology. A really great group of artists are gathered for my listening pleasure! Wonderful! The world beats and vocals are top notch and I am thrilled to be able to put so many disks on and not have to even look at the CD player all weekend. THANK YOU! Another of my true favorites is World Groove Mix, Vol. 1, a real exotic vibe here."

"I really enjoy music and when I find a series like the Gordon's Buddah Lounge Series, wow, I LOVE music. All of the Buddah Lounge volumes are just awesome - each one being hypnotic in sounds, rhythms and grooves, yet each are unique from each other. Love to just chill, relax, have a glass of wine and listen to this cool release."
They've Done it Again, Dammit!

"I just can't resist the Buddha Lounge compilations - while they are both soothing and engaging, they also provide a nice little spiritual lift. Number V is not the best in the series, but it certainly keeps the series going in fine style."
