Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Once upon a time, Ibiza was a spiritual and magical place. Every sunset, people gathered at Jose Padilla's ornately-decorated little beach-side bar to be hypnotised by his unique sunset DJ mix, staring dreamily out to sea. The first Café Del Mar album encapsulates this mystical experience, beginning light and airy with Jose's own dolphin-esque "Agua", progressing to darker, bassier sounds like Underworld and Ver Vlads to represent the sun falling behind the horizon. Jose creates a spellbinding atmosphere by placing oddities such as Penguin Cafe Orchestra, alongside dance tracks that take inspiration from world music and New Age (ethereal female vocals; bongo-lead percussion; samples of self-hypnosis tapes, flutes; wave-sounds). Higlights include the resonant piano and strings of Sabres Of Paradise's "Smokebelch" beatless mix. The sky fades to black with the gentle ambience of "Sunset At The Café Del Mar". Café Del Mar was "compiled with love" and thus truly stands the test of time. A great beginning to a classic compilation series. --Sarah Champion

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough to buy again, 11 Aug 2002
By M. Cooper "mikecooperuk" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this at the Cafe del Mar, having just watched the sun go down whilst sipping champagne and cocktails with a friend. Beautiful. Three days later our car was broken into and my bag was nicked, with this inside. Less beautiful. Suffice to say I'd grown to love this album enough by that point to be replacing it now I'm home. Everyone's got volume 5. Be different...

5.0 out of 5 stars The seminal compilation chill out album, 15 April 2000
If you want to buy just one chill out album - buy this one. The whole Cafe Del Mar series has been excellent and this is the cream on the top. The standout track has to be Andrew Weatheralls, Sabres of Paradise - Smokebelch II, but there are plenty of others to have you dreaming of lazy Sunday mornings watching the sun rise over the ocean.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic / eclectic chillout, 3 April 2001
By A Customer
Any album that can include Underworld & Penguin Cafe Orchestra has to be worth a listen!

This is one of the definitive chillout CDs from a time when there weren't 10 being released every week. Ignore the new pretenders this is a classic.

Sit back relax & enjoy
