Number 4 is it...
Okay... I've never been to Ibiza, I'm too old to chill out after a hectic night's clubbing, other than Stan Getz & John Martyn I've never heard of any of the artists on the album and, my friends are getting seriously worried that I'm hitting a mid life crisis. But... if this is what being around 18 when the sun comes up on a distant beach is all about then count me in!
A quite stunning compilation of laid back, ambient tracks that could so easily lapse into "mid-90's lift muzak" but under Jose Padilla's deft and perceptive hand ends up being challenging & interesting as well as superbly relaxing. Selecting and combining such marvellous, often totally obscure recordings into a seamless whole deserves a five star recommendation on its own but, what carries this album through, is its sheer quality: just about every track is a winner. Who are the "Voices of Kwahn", "Wasis Diop", "Les Jumeaux" & "Fila Brazillia"?... more importantly, how can they remain so unknown when they can play such magnificent music? Anyone who can scan the current and past music scenes without preconception or prejudice to produce such an effective, wholly cohesive album deserves serious praise indeed. And... to cap it all, his own opening track - "Que Bonito" - perfectly captures what follows: a beautiful celebration of being here and now.
Reviewers of Jose Padilla's' "Café del Mar" series have their favourites: is it number 5, number 6, number 3 or number 2 ? They're all good, but for me number 4 is it... one of the very best late-night (or early morning) records ever made.
The best Café Del Mar (CDM) Album in the series yet...
This is quite simply the best CDM mix in the series I think so far. Absolutley love it!. I have 7 Cafe Del Mar compilations and this one simply stands head and shoulders above the rest. Not to say that the others are not great but this is just my favourite.
Love "Que Bonito" (1), "No Sant" (7) especially and "Street Tattoo" (14) aswell as the fantastic "OffShore" by Chicane.
Keep it up Senor Padilla et al.
Peace......

Cafe Del Mar Marvelous!!
This is an excellent album to chill you out. I definately would recommend this album to anyone who wishes to buy their first Cafe Del Mar CD. The best Track for me on the CD is Grillos, the Guitar playing is awesome, Trust me. Its a worthwhile purchase for your CD collection.
