Yeah, the physical Cafe Del Mar is on the island of Ibiza, which is part of Spain. When the first CD came out the cafe was billed as being the chill-out place for the UK clubbers who swamp the island every Summer.
I checked out the first 2 or 3 as they were released, but gave up before the close of the 90s. They always had a few good artists in there - I remember that ubiquitous Nightmares on Wax tune was on one of them - but I just found something a bit too damn clean and hippyish about it all... like they were threatening to slip in an Enya tune somewhere or something.

Absolute lack of friction... which isn't
always bad, but...
The thing is, if I recommended things that I use in a similar way or think cover similar territory but are better, they'd probably seem identical to most people.

*sigh*
