Für Café Del Mar-Puristen war es schon eine harte Zeit. Nach sechs Ausgaben der Wechsel des Resident-DJs von José Padilla zu Bruno Lepetre. Dann mäkelte die Plattenfirma bei Nummer acht so lange an der Songauswahl von Lepetre herum bis die CD andernorts zusammengestellt wurde und plötzlich - fast ein Sakrileg - Chart-Lieblinge wie Goldfrapp oder Dido enthielt. Die eigentlich als "Volume Ocho" gedachte Compilation musste quasi außerhalb der Reihe als Café Del Mar - Dreams 2 veröffentlicht werden. Nun könnte eigentlich alles wieder gut sein. Nach einem Wechsel der Plattenfirma darf Lepetre wieder eine eigene Auswahl treffen und weit gehend unbekannte Acts einem breiten Chill-out-Publikum vorstellen. Doch irgendetwas läuft diesmal nicht so richtig rund. Zwar mögen die 14 Tracks vor dem Hintergrund des tatsächlichen Café del Mar funktionieren, solange Sonnenuntergang und Meeresrauschen noch zur Atmosphäre beitragen. Doch anders als bei früheren Compilations mangelt es hier ein wenig an Abwechslung. Etwas bemüht klingen die einzelnen Künstler in ihrem Streben nach Chill-out-Sound, Originelles fehlt weit gehend. Erst Rue du Soleil können mit "Troya", einem Drum & Bass-orientierten Stück aus der gepflegten Langeweile der ersten Stücke ausbrechen. Die Interpretation des Jimmy Cliff-Klassikers "Many Rivers To Cross" von CDM erreicht die Klasse von Ausgaben wie der Cafe Del Mar Vol. 5. Insgesamt seien den Liebhabern des klassischen Chill-out-Sounds der weißen Insel jedoch eher die Ibizarre-Reihe oder die von Lenny MacDowell zusammengestellten Sounds For The Magic Island ans Herz gelegt.

Pleasant but not not strong enough to recoup the glory days

Cafe del Mar's compilations became well-known for their luscious rhythm, that seem to climax in the middle of the CD then taper down again to slow beats. In my reviews of the previous albums, I mentioned that Jose Padilla did this marvellously. It always seems like starting a day and finishing it perfectly when I listen to his compilations: slow songs at first, then build up to dancey tunes, then slowly, without losing the beat, close off the CD with a nice and warm slow finale. However, after DJ Bruno took over from Volumen Siete (7) onwards, it seems that he could not successfully carry on this flavour. Volumen Nueve is similar to Volumen 7 and 8; if the album is also likened to a 'day', it fails to wake up and pick up: it says moody, slow and brooding. Don't get me wrong, I love leisurely-paced songs as well, but after a while when I need a pick-me-up with faster songs, the album stays on its slow path until it's too late (the first track with a more pronounced beat only starts with #6 - The Cure (Miro). However, even track#6 is still not enough to pick up the mood, because the mood is still rather sombre, even if Track#7 is bouncier - and that's already half of the CD. All in all, the album is pleasant, but it cannot recoup Cafe del Mar's glory days under Jose Padilla. Bruno probably hates having his style being compared to Jose Padilla's, but the thing is, Jose Padilla's style is one of the key thing why Cafe del Mar albums are so popular in the first place!
