CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com This second installment of what looks to be an ongoing series carries the usual selection of mellow mainstream on the first disc and a typically intriguing collection of lesser-known compositions on the second. The acoustic guitar alongside Nelly Furtado's voice on "Party (Reprise Mix)" is a wonderfully melancholic surprise on the first disc, while Goldfrapp deliver the smoky, Air-esque "Lovely Head." Purists will again find the second disc worth its weight, as Tosca's "Honey (Supatone 1 Dub)," the again excellent Witchman, with "Mekong," and Timo Maas's "Hash Driven" give the disc a nice, dub-driven spine. Extra credit is awarded for not only reviving the Specials' brilliant "Ghost Town," but for making it work as part of a chill-style compilation. If Chilled 01 was your cup of chai, then 02 will further serve both your needs and chillin' education. --Steffan Chirazi Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBuyer Beware - defective (ie "copy protected" disk) By the Bayou | Houston, TX | 08/02/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "The music is fine but if you listen to your music on a computer, be aware that the disk is "copy protected" (a nice way of saying "defective by design") so that one track won't play correctly on a computer or transfer to an iPod or MP3 player. You gets pops and stutters. Apparently the makers of the disk presume that we are all thieves and act accordingly; I wanted a legal copy on my iPod because that's how I listen to my music but no dice. They stole my money. Don't let them steal yours." Commercialized 'Chill' Xtian | Roseville, California | 02/08/2005 (1 out of 5 stars) "Most savvy listeners of the 'Chill' genre will realize the term itself is extremely broad, and can include anything from Zero 7 and Moby to The Dining Rooms and Thievery Corporation, plus a few other things in between. But Coldplay? Don't get me wrong - I love Coldplay, and I daresay 'don't panic' is one of my favorite songs. But in my collection I most certainly do NOT have my Coldplay albums filed under 'Chill;' I have them filed under 'Rock' where they belong. Plus, adding insult to injury, there is absolutely no mixing -- a hallmark of an excellent 'Chill' compilation album is the subtle ebb and flow through mixing from track to track, as well as the inclusion of a few remixes to spice up your well-worn favorite tunes (for example, a remix of 'don't panic,' although I shudder to imagine such a thing, would have been an appropriate attempt instead of just slapping the LP version on there). This compilation is really nothing more than a smattering of popular tunes and a few 'Chill' overplayed (but still good) standards (i.e. 'Lebanese Blonde,' by Thievery Corporation). You could get a similar effect by putting your CD or MP3 collection on random, wildly transitioning from rock to jazz to funk and back again. I liken this type of commercialized mass production and sensationalism to the ever popular (but sadly tasteless) 'Pure Moods' CDs - it's simply an attempt to grab the cash of inexperienced listeners new to a specific musical genre. Spend your $$ on something more worthwhile, like the fantastic 'Hed Kandi' compilations instead, such as the 'Serve Chilled' series or the 'Winter Chill' series. The import price might be steep for you, but you'll definitely be glad of the investment after listening." If you're a college freshman... E. Sivers | Montana | 12/03/2003 (2 out of 5 stars) "...then you might want this to balance your Linkin Park and 50 Cent CDs when you have girls over.Otherwise, it's not worth your money. There is no mixing on the CDs, and the selections are pretty random. I like the Specials, for example, but I certainly wouldn't have included 'Ghost Town' on a downtempo mix.If you are over 20, look into releases from Eighteenth Street Lounge (i.e. home of Thievery Corp. and great compilations) and Grand Central Records, or the Naked Music series."
