An oasis of calm amidst the turbo-fueled clubbing tornado that is Ibiza, Café Del Mar is the White Isle's original home of red-eye chill-out vibes and weepy sunset soundtracks. The series of compilations bearing the bar's name, meanwhile, have long patented that authentic sound of Balearic bliss (even claiming Madonna as a huge fan), and this seventh volume maintains the high standards. Founding DJ Jose Padilla may have long moved on, but his successor, DJ Bruno, is clearly well aware of the old adage about not fixing what ain't broke. There's the usual mix of names well known (Moby, Bedrock, Nightmares On Wax) and head-scratchingly obscure (Uko, Lux, Aromabar), but the sound of beautiful music for loved-up and lazy beach bums stays the same. Frankly, this sounds as good at home as it does on the early-morning terraces of San Antonio. --Calvin Bush

Customer Reviews:

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...

Gets a lot of play in my CD player.......2006-01-01

The things I like about this CD are the same things one reviewer hates: the feminine vocals. The Moby track annoys me because the voice is electronic instead of natural, and I simply hate that. But everyone else seems to like it so don't pay attention to me. Other than that, this CD pretty much rocks, but it did take a few listens before I was competely into it. Tracks 2,5,7,and 10 are my personal faves. All in all, a great chillout CD!

Good Enough.......2005-09-25

Not the best that I have heard from the series, but still an interesting mix.

Cafe Del Mar - Volume 7.......2005-07-28

A wonderful easy listening album w/ interesting instrumental sounds!

unique downtempo grooves.......2004-02-09

A year after buying Vol. 7 and Vol. 8, I still find myself spinning these grooves up. Timeless downtempo joy.
