Lots of familiar (yet mid-90's band/group) faces on this one

"Positive point(s):
1. nice to have certain songs that go well/compliment one another such as "spritual high" (c.hynde-state of independence)-"only love can break your heart" (st. etienne)-"no ordinary day" (chicane)-"we are the musicmakers"(aphex twin)...then, of course, add all-time favorites such as the orb's "little fluffy clouds" and inner city's "good life" oh, and "papua new guinea" from FSOL (think back to early nineties folks, c'mon i know you still like the stuff of this time like i do!)
well, for CD one, mid-way through, it's really just a great string of songs together.
2. i'm too lazy to mix and make my own from home with same songs which i already have in my collection & burn cd to arrange like this one has done so...
3. may '05 purchase @ tower clearance (2CD set) for $14 NEW!
definitely worth the money for me
Negative Point(s):
1. Not particularly mixed well. not sure who handled the mix at Ibiza sunset.
2. which cd is which? it's easy to get confused - just note, this is 'very best baeleric classics' version - with so many Ministry of Sound Chillout Sessions from Ibiza
There you have it. Enjoy!"
Blissed out Consciousness

"Here's the thing, most music breaks down into little fragmented particles, individual compenents.... parts of orchestra's and instruments that sustain one another to creat the whole - they in and of themselves in each song are a whole-
But with this CD' you need to absord the consciouness of the CD, study it like an entire body of work, the entire gallery instead of one art piece. Such that one song - and too one CD - do not accurately represent the journey that you embark.
There are two divisions. Before Sunset, And Before Dawn. Each category represent each CD.
Enjoy these CDs'. It isn't Chris COCO New Wave or Mellow Yellow but its still very good,
admittidly its very uneven at times, and such is the case with many Ministry of sound compilations but nonetheless, it is what it is, and what it is - is pure joy and an authentic picture of the Ibiza blissed out sunsets.
With Love,
Stefano"
