Cafe Del Mar has always been one of my favorite series, and I think it's fantastic that 11 volumes later, it actually gets BETTER. You won't find any songs that just seem like track fillers, every one is better than the last!
Also, every song seems to have a 3D feel to it (that's the best I can describe it) it's not exactly surround, but kinda. I'm not sure if they digitally enhanced it, or if it's just the type of music, but it doesn't just surround you.. it like, goes into you. It feels thick enough to grab it, something I've never experienced with music before, but oh my goodness it's great.
But let's talk about the tracks. We have a couple of the ever-so-famous hypnotic sax to a background of seductive beat, those are always my favorite. Then there's your piano symphonies with a dust of bass and angelic singing. Your lucious harpsicords and synthy sounding ones, too..almost all, of course, to a seductive beat.
Really, there isn't a better Chill Out series out there, Hed Kandi's Winter Chill comes close, but this album really proves who's boss in the Chillin' World.
