I am a relative newcomer to the genre of trip-hop music, but I know what I like. And after hearing just a sampling of this CD in a book store, I bought it immediately and have not been disappointed. For one thing, it has introduced me to artists that I had never even heard of before. And the songs selected for this album blend together beautifully to create a blissful and chilled-out atmosphere. I love it! There's something addictive and meditative about this music -- the airy and sultry female vocals nearly float effortlessly above deep trance-like bass and drums. The effect is very nice indeed. I highly recommend this CD for fans of ambient and trip-hop (and even Dido, whose songs would fit in quite nicely on this sampler). Excellent music to drift in and out of.
