Music reviews of Buddha Bar 1
Music Review: Over-Hyped !!! Chill Out
Rating: 2 Stars
I am going to preface this review with the two things I was fortunate to experience with this CD. First, I was able to purchase this CD for $20 because it was used. Secondly, the CD had a constant skip on disc 1 from tracks 11 on, therefore, I was able to return the CD to my local store and actually exchange it for something else...thank god they did not have another one in stock!!! I was able to listen to this CD for about a week and I gave it a lot of attention and I just could not get into it. I listen to a lot of chill out such as Thievery Corp, Kruder and Dorfmeister, the Del Mar Compilations, Tosca and so forth. With that said, I like a lot of different influences on my chill out whether it's Dub, Jazz, Indian, Bossa Nova, whatever...I'm always down for different sounds. I own the Buddha Bar nature CD and really enjoy it which is why I was really disappointed with this CD. When I purhased this in the store, I was already thinking about which one I would buy next..that is until I started listening to it. There are some good tracks on this CD without a doubt. But overall, it's just not that good and frankly anyone who mixes a friggin disco song like "all by myself" on a chill out CD should be ashamed. I understand that this CD was made in 1999, but Claude Challe was a disappointment. You read all these reviews telling you that it's the definative chill out CD that all others set as a benchmark and that it's legendary. I probably will not buy another Buddha Bar CD again. What's scary is that Challe only mixed the first two and if you notice the reviews on some of the newer ones with Ravin and David Visan, people say they went down hill after Challe stopped after volume 2!!!What are you guys comparing this CD up against??? A good chill out CD should make you feel great and enjoy the whole thing from start to finish. Chances are, you are going to be hitting the remote to change tracks on both of these discs frequently. Maybe, some of the other one's are good, as I have seen some good artists listed on some of the others, but for the price they charge, you may be taking a big gamble if you are not happy with it. Take a look at a CD called Cantoma, mixed by Phil Mison...this is an unbelievable CD. Also, World Dub Pastry is excellent as well as Elemental Chill vols. 1-4. Give the Buddha Bar Nature disc a go..it's at least worth the money, yet not overpriced. If you are going to buy the Buddha Bar vols., I would try to find them used if possible. Good Luck!!!
Description of Buddha Bar 1
28 track dance collection featuring Craig Armstrong-'WeatherStorm', Faithless-'Drifting Away' (Paradiso Mix), Kevin Yost-'Two Wrongs Making It Right', Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan-'Piya Re Piya Re' (Remix) and many more. 1999 release. Double digipak box wth attached lid.Paris's glitzy nightspot Buddha Bar is best known for its signature ambient environments, which are available in elaborately packaged, pricey, and popular CD compilations. This offering consists of two sections: "Buddha's Dinner," which is designed to accompany a deluxe dining experience, and "Buddha's Party," which is more groove-oriented. Although the selections are inspired by and built upon traditional music, mostly from Asia and South America, fans of club-oriented world music are advised to check out edgier electronica by Cheb I Sabbah, TransGlobal Underground, and Aisha Kandisha. But those who adore the likes of Deep Forest and Enigma will contentedly chill to these tracks. --Christina Roden
