Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Karma Beats follows the same ethnic bent as its predecessors Buddha Beats and Krishna Beats. Few chillout compilations can claim to be quite as well travelled as this 2-CD selection and volume three, Karma, distinguishes itself from the raft of chillout/comedown offerings by rounding-up relaxation material with a far-flung feel. CD1 ("Joy") comprises tracks from relatively obscure ethnic inspired artists, totally obscure ethnic inspired artists and Craig Armstrong--whose menacing "Rise" was used in a Citroen ad and isn't even slightly ethnic. Apart from Armstrong's resolutely European sound, sassy Latin sambas (Da Lata's "Pra Manha", Buscemi's "Ramiro's Theme") and Anglo-Indian tabla/sitar/synth/trip-hop concoctions prevail--or both in the case of Christophe Goze's "Mañana". It's an endearing, if slightly chaotic selection. Less imaginative, but easier to digest, CD2 ("Tranquillity"), eases through more familiar down-tempo territory with a Parisian tango from Gotan Project and the gorgeous loungey sway of Kinobe's "Slip Into Something More Comfortable"- star of Kronenbourg's 1664 TV ad. Of the two, the second CD is better equipped to soothe, but both have an abundance of curiosities that'll intrigue and provide hours of "guess the continent" entertainment. --Dan Gennoe

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of Beechwood, 6 Jul 2004
By D. D. Wilson "spawnee" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Out of all the Beachwood record label "worldly" beat CD compilations, this is my prefered. If you are looking for Buddha Bar or Nirvana Lounge stylee CD's then this isn't it. These CD's are not mixed as well, nor is the music as inspiring.
However, they do offer value for money. The content of this series is formulatic, but you do get some great contempory world music, given the remix treatment.
Some of my personal favourites include Manana, Kirwani for the dancier CD and Sofa Rockers, and Terrapin on the more relaxed CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars an atmospheric mix of contemporary asian sounds, 5 Dec 2001
By A Customer
this compilation is an excellent mix of the best contemporary Asian sounds around. it features some of the best artists and is an all round feast. after a sultry beginning it gets to the core of essential listening.
