Various Buddha Beats CD1
Amazon.co.uk Review\n"The Bar De Lune is proud to present an album for the mind, body and soul." So state the liner notes on Buddha Beats. As suggested by its title this CD does have something of an Eastern/Oriental strand running through it. Some tracks, however, such as Stephene Pompougnac's "PNC aux portes", might be better placed on a jazz/chill-out compilation and Nitin Sawhney's "Homelands" is definitely referring to a place somewhere in South America. Both tracks are pleasant enough, but their placing on this CD is slightly dubious. "Sinocco" by Christopher Goze, is more oriental with its pipes and gentle rhythms. Sarah McLaclan's appearance on "Silence" by Delerium saves it from turning into an Engima track, complete with the Gregorian chants. Purple Nine's "Moodswings" is a decent attempt at chill out, Sakamoto style, which has been smoothly mixed into Native American Dream. CD 1, aka "Joy", closes with Nitin Sawhney's "Nostalga" (very Morcheba), which, with its oriental strings, rounds of the CD quite well. CD 2, aka "Tranquility" hosts a number of highlights, including the laid-back funk of Alex Gopher's "The Child", "Eastern Awakening" by Eastern Awakening with its sitars and tampas and the oriental strings and the chilled beats of "Bhatiyali" by Jolly Mukherjee, the latter being one of the stand out tracks of the box set. The panpipes of Herbalism's "Run away" were definitely what the producers had in mind when they entitled this CD "Tranquility". The panpipes reappear in "Even in my Dreams" by Afro Celt Sound System, chill-out drum & bass style. This box set has a wide variety of offerings and although pleasing on first listen, it's only after a number of spins that the set's wide range be appreciated. --Jamie Clark \n
