Album Description
Fifth in the extremely popular dance compilation series. Compiled by Jose Padilla. 15 tracks from such artists as Levitation, Ame Strong, The Ballistic Brothers, Les Negresses Vertes and Lamb. 1998 release. Standard jewel case.
Amazon.com
Café Del Mar's Volume 5 (recently released for the first time in the U.S.) oozes warm, fuzzy, and thoroughly provocative trip-hop laced tuneage sans the shadow of conventional electronica. As is the way with the Del Mar catalog, a true gem sits amid the collection waiting to be discovered. In this case, it is the superb "Les Negresses Vertes" from Face a la Mer (a.k.a. a Nick Warren project from the early 1990s) given a thoroughly good dubbing by the great Massive Attack. Only the KLF-like spatial dreamweaving of Lamb's "Transfatty Acid (Kruder & Dorfmeister remix edit)" comes close to bettering it.

Elsewhere, Levitation's "More Than Ever People" is pure orange sunsets on shimmering waves, the warmth of its backbeat adding sensuality, while the retro-disco of French act Ame Strong's "Tout Est Bleu" has the rounded curves of bottom-end as opposed to the sharpened corner of dancefloor disco. Overall, the way to enjoy Volume 5 is to adhere to cliché No. 177 (the sum is stronger than individual parts), dim the lights, find some romantic company, and let the music do the talking. --Steffan Chirazi

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but too Rhumba-delic, October 14, 2002

This review is from: Cafe Del Mar 5 (Audio CD)
This volume stands out a bit from the ones I already have as a deviation from the electronica/ambient/cool tone of the others. Although volume 5 is solid and enjoyable it is NOT a typical Cafe Del Mar CD. The music is more lively and danceable with plenty of rhumba-delic beats. This is not a bad thing, but is not what I expected either.
Do NOT buy this volume if you want more of what is on 6 & 7: cool, calm, electronica/ambient music.
DO buy this volume if you'd like some light, well-crafted breezy music best for brunch backgrounds or dancing in the living room on a Sunday afternoon with your honey.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOON TRAIN REVIEW, June 5, 2001
By 
This review is from: VOL. 5-CAFE DEL MAR (Audio CD)
As an experienced listener in the chill category let me categoricly state in the simplist terms, this album is a must have. It should be your first purchase in this category. It is by far the best in the series and caters to a wide audience. I own a hair salon and play acid jazz always. This album gets more feedback then any i've ever heard before. I should get a commission for how many people that have bought it as a result of my salon. There is no bad situation for this cd. The volume you play it at depends on your mood. You could literaly jam in your car until your rear-view rattles off or have a dinner party with your parents boss best friend and high school science teacher and it would be a hit. You can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars So rich and full of color, October 16, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cafe Del Mar 5 (Audio CD)
Well,I'm not an expert in "chill music",I'm just starting to explore it,but this cd has the quality of reminding me of a vacation I had when I was a teenager,were everything was sofisticated,wordly,charming,we would spend all day at the beach,chill out at sunset,and then spend all night in hot spots and cool nightclubs.
When I listen to this cd and close my eyes,I can see my self on a beautiful beach,having a great time,and I think that sometimes,that's more than enough to make a cd worth it's price,when you can be transported to a great place and relax a little,without leaving your place beside your stereo!!.
I recommend speacially the songs "Talking with myself '98" and "Transfatty acid".
