What Do You Peoples Think Of...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Gryff:
Back when I used to sell CDs for a living, we used to sell a lot of Cafe Del Mar CDs to people who owned cafes. The compilations are basically just innocuous, groovy-but-not-imposing, pleasant-but-not-memorable background music.

A resounding "meh" from this corner, but I agree with Moiche that they're better than the overpriced yuppie-cheese-tronica of the Buddha Bar series.

nuisance:
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. :o  *sigh*

GamerMunkie:
"Clean And Hippyish"?

Do those words go together?

Hmm, yeah, I'm collecting them (Which is difficult in Aus) and I still think most of the songs on there are pretty good.

Alot of people said that they became too commercial, but that doesn't really bother me...I hate it when people automatically hate something that has become mainstream...

Thrillho:
I'm of the same opinion. There's a difference between becoming successful in the mainstream and selling out.

Gryff:
Not me. I hate anything that anyone likes.
