Bella Musica is like a long lost Cafe Del Mar album. Laidback, soothing, eclectic (tracks range from jazz, trip-hop, bossanova, downtempo). Truly and classic Jose Padilla, from start to end. I found album is more captivating than the three latest Cafe Del Mar installments (doce,trece, and XIV --- btw these albums werent compiled by either Jose Padilla or Bruno). There is now Bella Musica 2 but this first album is stronger. Definitely a keeper to all chillout collectors out there.
