Search - Various Artists :: Hear: Chill Compilation

Star 69 Records, in conjunction with white hot eatery CAFETERIA, announce the release of the new chill/lounge compilation CD entitled "hear." The CD features seamless transitions from track to track courtesy of Grammy Award-winning remixer/producer Peter Rauhofer, who proudly displays his softer side with this, his first ever, down-tempo compilation featuring a non-stop collection of timeless music. Rauhofer, has recently completed remixes for Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, and Annie Lennox, to name a few. Two of Rauhofer?s own productions make their way onto the unique "hear." collection: a chilled out take on the Rauhofer + The Pet Shop Boys? 2001 dance floor remake of the classic house stomper "Break 4 Love," as well as Peter?s Chilled Dub of Yoko Ono?s "Walking On Thin Ice." "CAFETERIA customers were always asking if the music they were hearing in the restaurant was available for purchase on CD," said Executive Co-Producer Rauhofer. "So Mark and I teamed up to give the customer what they wanted ? a vocal oriented chill/lounge disc that contains a lot of previously unreleased and rare material." Executive Co-producer and CAFETERIA Partner Mark Thomas Amadei: "The CD is compiled in an order that will take the listener on a musical ride. It begins with the appropriately titled sexy track "Wake Up" by Waldek and finishes with Chantal Kreviazuk?s more soothing "Leaving On A Jet Plane." Other artists featured on the album include Lydia Rhodes, Kool & The Gang, Lamya and Vanessa Daou. Known for remixing dance hits from the mid-90?s to today, Friburn & Urik deliver a smoothed out rendition of "Black Mona Lisa" by soul chanteuse Lamya, which attracts even the most jaded ear. Rhodes? stellar performance on Fleetwood Mac?s Pop/Rock classic "Dreams" is also included, as well as the quintessential chill track "Summer Madness" by R&B pioneers Kool & The Gang. Also included is "Show Me" from Daou, whose style is best described as club friendly neo-jazz and soul. This well-rounded collection is perfect for any time of the day.
