Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Café Del Mar's Volume 5 (recently released for the first time in the U.S.) oozes warm, fuzzy, and thoroughly provocative trip-hop laced tuneage sans the shadow of conventional electronica. As is the way with the Del Mar catalog, a true gem sits amid the collection waiting to be discovered. In this case, it is the superb "Les Negresses Vertes" from Face a la Mer (a.k.a. a Nick Warren project from the early 1990s) given a thoroughly good dubbing by the great Massive Attack. Only the KLF-like spatial dreamweaving of Lamb's "Transfatty Acid (Kruder & Dorfmeister remix edit)" comes close to bettering it.

Elsewhere, Levitation's "More Than Ever People" is pure orange sunsets on shimmering waves, the warmth of its backbeat adding sensuality, while the retro-disco of French act Ame Strong's "Tout Est Bleu" has the rounded curves of bottom-end as opposed to the sharpened corner of dancefloor disco. Overall, the way to enjoy Volume 5 is to adhere to cliché No. 177 (the sum is stronger than individual parts), dim the lights, find some romantic company, and let the music do the talking. --Steffan Chirazi

4 out of 5 stars Chill.......2007-05-12

Bought this on a whim, actually it was one of the suggested picks from amazon. I put it on but never really listen to it. Definitely background music. Its got like weird orchestral and indian stuff going on, but its good. I like Talk with Myself.

3 out of 5 stars the series did get abit tired..........2006-06-05

One of my favourite tracks ever from the series is the last track on Volumen Ocho, Plum Crazy by Celestial. And if you like that sound, then you'll love the albums from Hong Kong's Celestial. Check them out, they are titled:

Hong Kong Dub Station
Happy Valley
Spirit House

it's a deeper dubbier sound that most of Cafe Del Mar, more real instruments, and more space...

5 out of 5 stars My favorite Cafe del Mar so far!.......2006-01-06

I'm not sure if I can articulate how amazing this cd is. It really grooves and flows. The beats are more lively than some of the other volumes, but this is exactly what I have been looking for! The other Cafe del Mar's have taken a few listens before I really liked it, but I got into this one immediately. I try to work while listening to this and all of sudden I just get caught up in the grooves and forget about work. I am also a big fan of volume 7, but volume 5 doesn't have the prominent vocals of v.7 (not that either is bad or good- they are just different).

3 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2005-10-16

There are a few tracks that I really enjoyed, but on the whole I was disappointed with the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Definitely A Good One .......2005-09-25

Really the kind of CD I was looking for. An excellant mix to set the mood meter to "kickback".

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars too much jazz and not enough house.......2003-07-23

I have the first two of this series and both are regulars both by the pool and after dinner with friends. They are fantastic. I put all four on in a row and they provide consistantly good music either background or upfront depending on the volume set. So I bought this one as soon as I saw it. It isnt as good as the others. CD1 takes forever to find a groove. Too much fluttery flute and dischordant sax for me. Deep grooves with a sax or flute on top that doesnt seem to meld with the beat is not chill, it is distracting. There is some good stuff in there, but a mood making cd to play all the way thru, it is not.

...

5 out of 5 stars Superior quality deep house.......2003-03-10

Very little to say other than it's one of the best deep house sets I have... and I have MANY!

Bruno outdoes himself once again, weaving soul and latin rythms together in a beautifully executed set (on 2 CDs), beginning rather lively yet still chilled at around 124 bpm on CD1 and picking up to no more that 127 bpm and keeping it steady throughout CD2.

My favorites "Mahal Kita (I Love You) (Sounds Of Soul's Funkessential Remix)" on CD1 and "Music for the People" on CD2 are gems (10 rating). The rest of the tracks I would say hover above 8 in my personal rating. If you weren't sure whether chill-house is more loungy or danceable, this work definitely drags the pendulum towards danceable as it progresses.

This is deep house music... thanks Bruno.
