Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Music lovers can always tell the summer's here because the market gets bombarded by a wealth of 'chill out'compilations but none so esteemed as the Café Del Mar series. One the first ever "Balearic" comps to emerge into the dance market, it's imaginative and considered song selections have ensured it has remained one of the finest too. Conjuring up the mood of Ibiza's more gentle side beautifully, the series features enigmatic combinations of downtempo beats, gorgeous guitar strums, wistful flute and lush strings. This 8th excursion is once again akin to sinking into a hot, scented bubble bath after a hard days work, with supine sonics from respected artists such as Goldfrapp ("Utopia"), Dido ("Worthless"), Afterlife ("Sunrise"), Illumination ("Cookie Raver"), Ben Onono ("Tattouage Blue"), Digby Jones ("Pina Colada") and Scriptiure ("Apache"). As we've come to expect from the Café Del Mar series, this album provides the perfect backdrop to any relaxing summer day. --Paul Sullivan

Brilliant atmosphere, definitely a chill out album and in my opinion the collection has reached a degree of maturity that only comes with the years. Definitely the best companion for a sunset - although my personal opinion about the best sunset is differnet than Ibiza. Still I can view nmyself in Oia - Santorini or even better Franco`s in Santorini where I think the music would fit perfectly (Unfortunately Franco plays only classical & opera) . Soothing and calm like a long extremely tasty soothing cocktail..:) The tracks are extremely well recorded and the sequence is very well thought of thus creating a continuous atmosphere of relaxation

Oh So Cool 3 July 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
To start with, goodbye volume siete (7), and to say I was a little dissapointed sums it up really, although being a music lover of all genre this still stands as a cut above the rest, simply because the guys that produce this range really do there homework and dig out the tracks that really are a taste of summer. Yes this is not at all similar to v7 but it will remain as the album to have again for that dinner party/barby where all you need is some exquisite background music, you can be guaranteed that someone will ask where you got this album along with what it is etc. So as I have mentioned if you love volume 7 and prior do not think this is a continuation of that, it is simply Cafe Del Mar at it's usual very best giving us Brits a taste of what the real chill out scene is in Ibiza. RIK.

Considered by many to be the benchmark in ambient/chillout compilations the Cafe Del Mar series always has a lot to live up to, particularly after Jose Padilla decided he'd had enough and passed the job of compiling to Bruno for Vol.7. Well, the batton has been passed again to Luke Neville & Ben Cherrill with great results.... Vol.8 steers away from quick fix chill-out music and delivers something a little special. Tracks tend to creep-up on you, the build-up on Dido's Worthless being a good example. As a result this album gets better and better with each listen. Depending on taste you might not like every track as the musical origins are wide and varied as usual, but as a whole this is another classic from the 'can do no wrong' Cafe Del Mar series. Get it, find a spot and enjoy..... Ads

Chill-out without the funk....
A great album to sip sangria to. Not a 'jazzy' as the latest Vol.9 but offers a warm blend of subtle head-calmindg tunes and 'beaty' vibes. Read more

Time to lay this old dog to rest
There is an easy explanation as to why this volume of Cafe del Mar is such a huge disappointment - it's related to the others in name and not by nature. Read more

The supremo chillout album
This has been the most suprisingly good cd I've heard all summer, addictive, and each time I play it, someone either wants to borrow or buy it, good sign. Read more

Disappointing
As an avid fan and collector of the Cafe del Mar series, i found vol.8 to be very disappointing in its lack of tune-full and melodic sounds found in the other volumes. Read more

Excellent - mellow, tranquel with mediterranean influences.
I have all the Cafe del Mar CD's and bought this in France where this kind of music seems to be prolific. Read more

The latest but not the greatest.
The much imitated but never bettered Cafe Del Mar series always offer up the best in an ever-expanding market of summer Baeleric ambient tunes. Read more
