Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Hotel Costes 5 continues the tradition set by its predecessors, highlighting the music policy of Paris' most hip hotel. As a more Western answer to Paris' other great lounge export, The Buddha Bar, DJ Stephane Pompougnac mixes up a set of 15 interesting downbeat tracks built upon a backbone of jazz, Latin rhythms, electronica and deep house. It opens with the twee, unbridled optimism of "Galaxy" by Hippiehaus where it's difficult to stop a heart-warming smile from breaking across your face as you relax and sink further into the imaginary big comfy chair. Other highlights along the way are "Cocaine is a Sin" by the Strike Boys, which grinds a dirty organ riff that cuts through like a funky knife and then curiously blends in with the uniform sound of a ping-pong ball on "Ponger Star". One slight drawback to Hotel Costes 5, and indeed this series, is that a few of the selections, while very chilled and sonically satisfying are little more than Parisian lift music but thankfully these are in a minority amongst a wealth of intriguing and diverse pieces of music. --David Trueman

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than most..., 17 May 2004

By	nicjaytee (London) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Hotel Costes - Quatre (Audio CD)

Fed up with boring “chill out” and “electro-jazz” compilations that offer little more than instantly forgettable background music? Well, here’s one that actually delivers something worth listening to. Opening with Variety Lab’s wonderful “London in the Rain” it “wobbles” a bit over the next three perfectly acceptable tracks before embarking on a 45 minute sequence that’s an amateur DJ’s dream. Selection is everything and in this case Hotel Costes’ Stephane Pompougnac gets it just right. Each track in this inspired seven track mix is highly distinctive but the trick is in the way he seamlessly integrates them while steadily building on their combined atmosphere. The end effect? Well it’s “chilled” and it’s “cool”… but above all it’s interesting & exciting, two things which most of the huge number of “chill out” albums out there are not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, a mind-blowing listening experience, 17 May 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hotel Costes - Quatre (Audio CD)

Another gem from Stephane Pompougnac. Every track in this album is mind-blowing, expertly mixed by the talented DJ of fine taste. My personal favourites are "Closer to Julie" by Stephane and "Cafe De Flore" by Doctor Rockitt, followed closely by Gotan Project's "Epoca". The album at once makes me want to chill with and groove to it. Amazing!

Costes 3 is even better!

5.0 out of 5 stars Storming mixes from the boy from Perigueux, 28 Dec 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Hotel Costes - Quatre (Audio CD)

What a joy it is to luxuriate in the latest sounds to be selected and mixed by St�phane Pompougnac, the Parisian DJ with an ear for a seriously good tune. The A particular gem is track two on the first album, 'I've got a Cat', by the unknown Method. Would love to hear more about these kiddos.
