[.ca] V7 Cafe Del Mar

From Amazon.co.uk:
An oasis of calm amid the turbo-fuelled 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 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

Chronique amazon.fr:
A l'écart des gros clubs d'Ibiza (véritables annexes de ceux situés en Angleterre), il existe un endroit où l'on cultive une certaine forme de raffinement musical. Ce lieu de quiétude, c'est le Cafe Del Mar qui trône au centre de la baie de San Antonio, entouré de deux bars musicaux ouverts par des promoteurs peu scrupuleux. Véritable gaulois irréductible, le nouveau DJ résident, Bruno Lepretre, est le dépositaire de l'esprit des Baléares, empreint de mysticisme et de nonchalance ibérique. Suite au départ du vétéran José Padilla, on aurait pu craindre un changement d'orientation mais il n'en est rien. Bruno suit respectueusement les traces du maître, avec une sélection dont les mélodies fascinantes (cf. Moby) resteront longtemps gravées dans nos esprits. --Laurent Gilot

Great compilation:
I have had this one for quite a few years now and it is still one of my favorites from the Cafe del mar series. It is an energetic easy listening mix, that facilitates work and web surfing. Thumbs up!

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