Carte Blanche 2

Tre bein

Lounge style rhythmic stuff. My favorite thing to listen to while I'm working in the kitchen.

Finding good chillout discs is tough. Most of the stuff I've come across have a few decent tracks at most, or maybe just one, and a lot of bland filler, often with poorly sung vocals. Not many are good for playing straight through, without wanting to skip tracks. Enter Carte Blanche 2, a fine disc start to finish. Relaxed, spacy, with a strong but downtempo beat and gently soaring and soulful melodies lacing their way across the music. Suitable for parties, lounging, sipping wine, driving in traffic or, certainly, late-night chilling out. This is easy-going but skillfully done music, that won't insult your taste. The Naked Music people have done a fine job here of striking the elusive balance between relaxing and interesting, mellow but still sharp. The tracks are similar in mood and feel, but still distinct and different. You won't get bored. This disc rewards multiple listenings, and unlike all too many others is actually worth the money. If you've been hunting for that rare bird, quality, classy chillout, this is what you've been looking for. A good buy.

OK, so my girlfriend thought I'd been subscribing to an online porno CD site when she saw the cover. I had to play her the album to convince her that there is nothing sordid happening here. On the contrary, this is quality stuff. Hotel Costes and Cafe del Mar are becoming a bit inconsistent, so it is good to find another source of chill-out and downtempo beats that is worth listening to from end to end.

Relaxed, Jazzy, Laid-back house music. Make me remember my first Naked Music album was Midnight Snack which is released in 1999, what a nice album it was, so different from other mainstream chill out flood. This album is even better with much better sound. Non of the songs in this album disappoint me.By the way, Amazon.com wrote the release date wrong, it is not in 2001, it was in Oct. 2000. However, this album still has the refreshing and up-to-date feeling.

being a House fan from the old days and only buying classics,i just recently discovered this remarkable and hypnotizing brand of music.I'm kicking myself for not pursuing this earlier...Shame on me for giving up hope on House.It's a nice welcome.

I bought this after getting Vol.3, and I didn't like the tracks in this one as much. I didn't feel that the songs were picked with as much care as they could've been, but it's a good compilation in its own right that has its own gems, although not enough in my opinion. Overall, it's a relaxing listen that's enjoyable.

ハウス系のコピレーションCDではこのCarteシリーズが一番良いのではないでしょうか？自分にとっては何の抵抗も無くすんなり入ってくる感じが気に入ってます。Vol,1〜3まで全部通して聴いていると深い陶酔感に浸れます。お勧め。
