I bought the lates in the series, called doze, spanish meaning twelve, and if you thought its predecessor was too barren, or instrumental for your taste, you are going to love the latest reincarnation of Cafe del Mar.
I bought this as soon as it came out. Cafe del Mar, in my humble opinion, is one of the best chillout compilations out in the market, and one of the longest in the series compiling now 12 releases. The production values on these newer tracks are a mayor improvement, consisting of softer melodies and less on atmosphere which the series has depended on the latter disks, such as Vol. 11. However, having said that, it still atmospheric, but it embodies a heavenly blend of spanish flavor, and ethnic electronic that is ambient, rich in vocals & mystical mixes. The sounds here, as usual in any Cafe del Mar, are trendy, relaxed, and the recordings of these female/male voices will inspire many listenings.
\'Bunbury\' first track, sacame de aqui(DAB remix) will set the tone for the rest of this 2-disk set. Yes, for the first time, Cafe del Mar features 28-tracks, and volume here is not filler material, but quality throughout, \'ON BOTH DISKS!\' Doze offers here variety, and more vocals on most of the tracks here, which gives the songs body, character, and emotion. Cafe del Mar Vol. 12 is the best of the series I believe, and that\'s not an understatement folks. The music selection here is of high-quality, and the mesmerizing melodies is something to behold whenever these artists are singing for the children of the new age. If you like Vol. 4,5,6,7, then 12 is your cup of tea. Enjoy!
