Amazon.co.uk Review
An oasis of calm amid the turbo-fuelled clubbing tornado that is Ibiza , Café Del Mar is the White Isle's original home of red-eye chill-out vibes and weepy sunset soundtracks. The series of compilations bearing the bar's name, meanwhile, have long patented that authentic sound of Balearic bliss (even claiming Madonna as a huge fan) and this seventh volume maintains the high standards. Founding DJ Jose Padilla may have long moved on, but his successor, DJ Bruno, is clearly well aware of the old adage about fixing what ain't broke. There's the usual mix of names well-known (Moby, Bedrock, Nightmares On Wax) and head-scratchingly obscure (Uko, Lux, Aromabar), but the sound of beautiful music for loved-up and lazy beach-bums stays the same. Frankly, this sounds as good at home as it does on the early morning terraces of San Antonio.--Calvin Bush

Customer Reviews

The summer album of the year!
After Jose Padilla's decision to quit the Cafe del Mar franchise, I thought that volume six would be the last of these compilations. Yet Cafe del Mar is back, this time with Bruno, and in superb form. Easily rivals volume five for its electic, yet perfectly ordered selection of chill-out tracks (where do they get these artists from?) and the remixed Bush track was a very pleasant surprise. There is no point in me waxing on about this CD just go out and buy and decide for yourself - you won't be disappointed.

Balearic, anyone?
Everybody , in recent years, seems to have jumped on the Ibiza bandwagon but there aren't many series' of albums that claim to capture the spirt of Ibiza quite like the Cafe Del Mar series. Ibiza is all things balearic & CDM 7 hits the spot closer than any of the others have- from the balearic 1st track by Lux, gently building up tempo to the surprising drum & bass (but don't let that put you off) Aromabar track , some ambient trance from Bedrock (Digweed does ambient!) winding down to the end track by Slow Pulse which rounds off the album nicely. There is a good collection of several genres of dance/chill-out music- it's not even mixed- but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the album. Think Jose's successor, Bruno, knows his music and this album still tops my playlist weeks after buying it!

Sunset memories
As the Amazon review says 'sunset soundtracks' sums this CD up for me. I can't pretend to know much about the history of these collections of music but I now what I like.

This CD was the one in our Sunset Villa on Lizard Island, Australia that would be left playing for us when we returned from dinner in the evening. Listening to the tracks now makes me cry!

Beautiful sounds to match a beautiful place. Buy this and dream of summer.
