Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This double helping of soul drenched, sunset sounds is straight out of a fridge full of wine coolers when it's too hot for anything but wine coolers. Close your eyes and you can almost hear the surf lapping at lazy vocals that take you diving to the coolest, bluest depths of the house music genre. Lie back, let your toes find freedom in the sand, and, when it gets too hot, take a dip and reach for those coolers again. Basically, if you can imagine what life would be like if you lived in a copy of Wallpaper magazine, this is the stuff you and your Gucci bikini-wearing friends would have on the stereo. Beginning with the sultry, dusty vocals of Blue Six's "Music and Wine", there's a distinctly San Franciscan house vibe to Beach House. Although there is deep British house from Presence ("Future Love"), Mutiny ("Bliss") and The Rurals ("That Feelin'"), the Americans have the edge specially when producing gems such as Factor 15's "Summer Love" which sounds like it should be the theme tune of the compilation. The percussive trademark of producer Joe Claussell lifts tracks by Santessa and Fazed Idjuts to a distinctly Latin plane, give an already brilliant compilation just what it needs to become a truly cosmopolitan selection.--Ruby Sheppard

5.0 out of 5 stars Ibiza Sunsets from your armchair, 16 Jul 2002
The Beach House series are my favourite compilation out of all the Hed Kandi family. You could define the style as "Ibiza Sunset Cool Listening". A blend of soulful, laid back, sometimes latin deep house.

The first of the series is actually a little more instrumental than later albums. But that's not a problem, if the music's great, it's great.

Favourites on CD1 are the opening Blue Six - Music&Wine, Petalpusher's Surrender and the one by Mutiny - Bliss. On CD 2, a little bit of UK deep house, The Rurals - That feelin', Blue Six again with Sweeter Love and Fazed Idjuts - Dust of Life.

This compilation is true class, and stands out from all the other, more commercial ones. It captures the spirit of a part of Ibiza that has been forgotten by many. The island is not just sex, drugs and hard drums. It's also beauty, happiness and spiritual harmony.

For Deep House lovers only.

3.0 out of 5 stars Naked Music label makes Beach House a success, 22 Nov 2002
How hot is San Francisco deep house label Naked Music? Compilations across the globe are scrambling to slide their laidback, soulful grooves into a mix. Of course American audiences with an ear to the underground have known this for some time, but it often takes dance-obsessed England to spread the word en masse about an artist or label.

It's the numerous Naked cuts that offer the framework for this 21-track relaxed sunset release, but plenty of others deliver the sandy beaches of Ibiza to your speakers, most notably the wave-soaked "Tsunami" by Sven van Hees and blissfully sweet "Sweeter Love" by Blue Six. Various slices of house- vocal, jazzy, smooth, downtempo- cover the bases, ensuring most listeners will enjoy most the unmixed songs, while keeping their blood pressure low.

The eclectic selections and amount of filler may disturb some lawnchair loungers. Even so, a solid release and a good value as always from the Hed Kandi gang- but getting this without Naked Music's "Nude Dimensions: The Petalpusher Session," is akin to bringing those little umbrellas and forgetting the cocktails. Grade:

5.0 out of 5 stars Experiencing music in the setting it all too much deserves, 17 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Beach House (Audio CD)
In a single month i found out what irony and meaningfulness were. Picture yourself in an atmosphere of serenity - I want you to feel the sun on your face, the look in your eyes upon the crystal water, the relaxation of lying in a hammock surrounded by palms, in a beautifully crafted inlet known as 'bottle beach', using it as a retreat after having one of the most experiencing evenings on kho phang nang, and the irony of absorbing an album entitled, beach house... and then.. you finally grasp what the meaaningfulness of listening to such fantastic melodies in such surroundings encompasses.

4.0 out of 5 stars The most chilled-out summer, dance/funk mix, and the best.
This CD just kicks it from the begining of the first CD to the end of the second. Just as enjoyable if not more so than the other hedkandi series. Read more
