1998 CD Mercury 565228
1999 CD Manifesto 565228
2001 CD MCA 565228

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.

This is the Fifth Cafe Del Mar Compilation. The Album is Compiled by Joe Padilla who is the Resident DJ at a Chill Out Bar in Ibiza Named Cafe Del Mar, which is a Very Famous Venue, and Thousands of Clubbers Go There Every Year.



The fifth volume in the Café del Mar series continues Ibiza legend José Padilla's wide-ranging look at what can possibly make up a dance album: a track from Indian film soundtracker AR Rahman, a light dubby trip through Prozac Muzak from Levitation, the obligatory Kruder & Dorfmeister remix (an excellent remake of Lamb's "Transfatty Acid"), plus a host of Ibizan house touchstones (Larry Heard, Ballistic Brothers, Electribe 101, Salt Tank). Though the tempos occasionally dip below ones necessary to keep moving, Café del Mar, Volumen Cinco adds a breath of fresh air to a classic American beach party as well as open-air Ibizan clubnights.

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.

Der Abend bricht an auf Ibiza, jener sagenumwobenen Insel, die Jahr für Jahr nicht nur tanz- und feierwütige Menschen aus aller Herren Länder anlockt. Auf einer großen Wiese direkt am Meer haben sich zahlreiche blonde Mädchen und braungebrannte Sunnyboys versammelt, um kollektiv dem Sonnenuntergang entgegen zu chillen. Auch diese Nacht wird lang werden, sehr lang. Aus den Boxen strömen entspannte, atmosphärische Klänge und einige der Mädchen beginnen zu weinen, als das letzte Stück des riesigen, purpurroten Feuerballs weit draußen im Meer zu versinken scheint. Einen Augenblick lang scheint es, als hätte jemand die Zeit angehalten, denn plötzlich ist alles still. Kein hysterisches Gekreische der Mädchen, keine coolen Sprüche der Jungs. Doch da ist noch was. Es sind Les Negrésses Vertes, die ihre Botschaft sanft in die sternenklare Sommernacht hinausrufen. Gleich wird der Mann an den Plattenspielern einen Track des englischen Downbeat-Duos Lamb auflegen. Der DJ heißt José Padilla und hat das Café Del Mar und seine Wiese mit seinem unverwechselbaren Stil berühmt gemacht. Klassik trifft auf die Moderne, World-Music trifft auf technoide Beats. Auf Ibiza fällt es leicht, Unkonventionelles zu erleben. Man muss nur wissen wo. Und wenn man dann nach 14 Tagen wieder zu Hause ist und eigentlich noch immer nicht erholt zu sein scheint, gibt es ein bisschen Harmonie aus dem Café Del Mar auch für zu Hause. Auf der fünften Ausgabe hat Padilla nichts anders gemacht als bei den Vorgängern und doch denkt man immer wieder: Wunderschön.
