German dance compilation featuring the finest in trance music featuring
such artists as Talvin Singh, Afterlife, A New Funky Generation, dZian
and Kamien, Mandalay and many more. 15 tracks in all. 1999 release.
Standard jewel case.
Eclectic, emotionally smart, and always engaging to the ear, Volume Six
won't disappoint followers of the Del Mar series. After a curious slice
of Talvin Singh's "Traveller" (Kid Loco's Once upon a Time in the East
mix), Afterlife get the slow dusk grooves moving with the seductively
vocalized "Dub In Ya Mind (Beach Club Mix)" before A New Funky
Generation slip in some grooves as smooth and of-the-'70s as their name
suggests with "The Messenger." However, Volume Six is often more
poignant and melancholy than the usual Del mar compilation. dZihan
& Kamien's "Homebase," while sporting an uptempo ambience, is
spiritually destined for the subsonic bass groove of Deep Dish someday,
and Humate's "3.2 Bedrock (Ambient Mix)" is the sort of ennui-filled
dance music Madonna would be proud of. The hidden treasure on this
volume is Moonrock's "111 Street Blues," a sumptuous downtempo stew of
ambience, hip-hop, and ambient dub sensibilities. It helps make Volume
Six the perfect destination for those seeking a spirited romantic beach
vacation with their significant other in the living room.

Die mittlerweile sechste Ausgabe der Cafe Del Mar-Reihe entführt
den Hörer in die Welt des ibizenkischen Party-Chillout -
Sehnsüchte nach Sonne, Meer und Party werden geweckt. Alle, die
jemals auf der Partyinsel gewesen sind und die Kultlocation in San
Antonio besucht haben, werden das Gefühl kennen, den Sonnenaufgang
und die selige Friedlichkeit nach der Party zu vermissen. 15 Chillout
Tracks, teilweise mit Drum & Bass, Jazz, Weltmusik und
Trance-Anleihen bringen genau dieses Gefühl zurück. Mandalay
mit "The Beautiful" sorgen für Gänsehaut-Feeling und die
Ur-Trancemeister Humate bieten leichte Ambient-Trance Kost mit dem
Track "3.2 Bedrock". Bester Track der gelungenen Compilation ist die
schon legendäre Trip Hop Vocalnummer "A Distant Invitation" -
trippige Downbeat-Klänge verbinden sich mit lasziven Vocals. Das
Album wurde vom Cafe Del-Mar-Haus-DJ Jose Padilla zusammengestellt, der
mit "Adios Ayer" auch wieder ein eigenes Stück beigesteuert hat --
einer Nummer mit Natursamples und männlichen Vocals. Klingt zwar
nicht wirklich gut, doch das hohe Niveau der restlichen Songs
lässt darüber hinwegsehen. Das Schlusslicht ist Dusty
Springfields Sehnsuchtsnummer "The Look of Love" -- äußerst
kultig und nach einer stressigen Partynacht so entspannend wie eine
Gurkenmaske!
