5 out of 5 stars Good buy for chilling out!!!.......2004-03-13

What a great selection of smooth and chilled tracks!!! "Carboot Soul" is my favorite homework and relaxing music. It's very calming with KILLER basslines!!! I enjoy the entire album, but my favorites are "Morse", "Ease Jimi", and "Ethnic Majority".
I have heard most of the new CD, "Mind Elevation", and it doesn't have quite the flow and mood setting of this album. I do like a few tracks on "Smoker's Delight", but I don't own the album yet. I agree with Robert J. S. that "Night's Interlude" is better than "Les Nuits" because it is so original and is sampled by everyone!!! The original is the best but "Les Nuits" is still a great relaxer.
All I know now is that "Carboot Soul" is my favorite N.O.W. album so far. Pick this one up if you feel like groovin' and chillin' to some great music!!!

2 out of 5 stars Dull and repetitive.......2003-01-08

There is just not much creativity to this music. Repetitive drum machine beats mixed with repetitive smooth jazz samples does not make for great "chill" music, but simply music which is dull and uninspired. Chill music can still have energy and variety. Actually, it simply MUST. I think there is some really good trip-hop and downtempo music out there, for example: Massive Attack - Protection, DJ Shadow, some albums in the Cafe del Mar series, Moby b-sides, LTJ Bukem Logical Progression...

4 out of 5 stars 4-and-a-half stars.... my first full-price impulse buy.......2002-10-01

Bought it yesterday @[a store]. I would give it 5 stars, the music is 5 star material - so tender & sweet & sexy (most likely to become my soundtrack to this coming winter) but at 50 minutes it's just too damn short... I need more of this music...

5 out of 5 stars Latenightlovemagic.......2002-09-10

There are few - too few - dance albums out there geared towards LeMore. Zero 7, probably. Air, nah, too many trombones and French horns during inopportune moments. The occasional Back to Mine, possibly, or rare Ibiza compilation. And then George Evelyn/DJ Ease/Nightmares on Wax's Carboot Soul, despite the "herb" references in the credit liners. Don't know how ginko biloba fits in with music, but the ten songs here seductively deliver an hour of one-on-one magic.

"Les Nuts" with epic strings sampled from Pure Strings Orchestra, now appears on 12,844 - hold on, now 45, chillout albums, so let's just agree that it really is All That and move on. Slowly of course, the beats here all coast slower than your pulse. And there's not much more really; some bass and guitar, the occasional light, scat vocals of Sara Winton, and a continual re-jigger of that formula for a smooth, unobtrusive, undeniably sexy, listen. Bit of a subversively catchy chorus and handclap on "Ethnic Majority," soft, soft singing on "Finer," or "Survival," actual songs, or some muted horns slipping in on "Easejam." Nothing jarring, nor too catchy, not too perky, just a big, warm blanket of an album for those times when you want to get under the covers. Just wrap up in 50 minutes, mind you.
