Chilled Out Euphoria

Amazon.co.uk The term "chill out" has been used intensely to market LPs over the past few years. What it usually indicates is a compilation stuffed full of the downtempo, balearic and leftfield tracks that have been big over the summer. The Euphoria series is a light exception to the rule in that its choice of tracks isn't quite so obvious. Tracks like TallPaul vs INXS "Precious Heart", Chicane's "Overture", Dido's "Take My Hand" and Jakatta's "American Dream" have all appeared on their fair share of compilations over the last few months, but they are joined by more considered choices such as Tangerine Dream's "Love an a Real Train", Talvin Singh's "Disser", Art of Noise's "Moments in Love", Future Sound of London's"Papua New Guinea" and some exclusives from Solar Stone and Push. The album also has the advantage of being mellifluously mixed (digitally, by Solar Stone) so that your relaxed mind state isn't distracted too much by gaps and breaks. Not the most essential listen, but certainly one to get you into the chilled zone without repeating the formula too much. --Paul Sullivan Product Description Tracks 11.Earthwatching - Holroyd, Bob2.Precious heart (Lush remix) - Tall Paul & inXS3.disser/point mentoo B - Singh, Talvin4.Milk (D-mix) - Garbage5.Charles - Beanfield6.Code - Faithless7.Gone (Kruder & Dorfmeister session) - Holmes, David & Sarah Cracknell8.Single - Everything But The Girl9.Love on a real train - Tangerine Dream10.Love song (Dr Lunatic mix) - Haza, Ofra11.Touching the void - Banco De Gaia12.
