Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"The Bar De Lune is proud to present an album for the mind, body and soul." So state the liner notes on Buddha Beats. As suggested by its title this CD does have something of an Eastern/Oriental strand running through it. Some tracks, however, such as Stephene Pompougnac's "PNC aux portes", might be better placed on a jazz/chill-out compilation and Nitin Sawhney's "Homelands" is definitely referring to a place somewhere in South America. Both tracks are pleasant enough, but their placing on this CD is slightly dubious. "Sinocco" by Christopher Goze, is more oriental with its pipes and gentle rhythms. Sarah McLaclan's appearance on "Silence" by Delerium saves it from turning into an Engima track, complete with the Gregorian chants. Purple Nine's "Moodswings" is a decent attempt at chill out, Sakamoto style, which has been smoothly mixed into Native American Dream. CD 1, aka "Joy", closes with Nitin Sawhney's "Nostalga" (very Morcheba), which, with its oriental strings, rounds of the CD quite well. CD 2, aka "Tranquility" hosts a number of highlights, including the laid-back funk of Alex Gopher's "The Child", "Eastern Awakening" by Eastern Awakening with its sitars and tampas and the oriental strings and the chilled beats of "Bhatiyali" by Jolly Mukherjee, the latter being one of the stand out tracks of the box set. The panpipes of Herbalism's "Run away" were definitely what the producers had in mind when they entitled this CD "Tranquility". The panpipes reappear in "Even in my Dreams" by Afro Celt Sound System, chill-out drum & bass style. This box set has a wide variety of offerings and although pleasing on first listen, it's only after a number of spins that the set's wide range be appreciated. --Jamie Clark

3.0 out of 5 stars A good but not great example of dance/world fusion, 21 Sep 2001
By A Customer
After sampling a fair number of albums in this style, I'd say this was a fairly easy introduction but isn't quite as interesting as the stuff put out by Claude Challe or Nitin Sawhny. Some of the tracks have been around for a while and are fairly well known (e.g. Moby), so unfortunately I'd already got them. Most are a standard dance/chill out style with a world music flavor. Personally, I prefer the more experimental style of the Buddha Bar range which also has a slightly Jazzier overall feel. It's probably down to taste in the end but I think there are better examples of the craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any 'Buddha Bar' fan., 14 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Although not quite up to the excellent standard of the Claude Challe/Ravin Buddha Bar series, but nonetheless a very good attempt to mimic the flavour that they portray. If you are a Buddha Bar fan you will not be dissapointed, a good addition to any collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good cd, with lots of cool songs....., 15 Aug 2001
This is a very good cd with lots of cool songs on both cd`s. Still, I like the tranquility cd best because the songs (like "Where do I begin (Away Team mix) - Bassey, Shirley") do have a spectacular blend of hip-hop/funky rythms attached to musicals, eastern sounds and other sorts of music. This combination is done in a very good way and makes the songs irresisteble in my opinion. the joy cd doesn`nt contain that much rythm, but it still has some good songs. In addition, the deal doesn`t make your wallet too thin.... all in all, this is very good deal!!!!
