A quality chillout collection, and that's not easy to find

"Finding good chillout discs is tough. Most of the stuff I've come across have a few decent tracks at most, or maybe just one, and a lot of bland filler, often with poorly sung vocals. Not many are good for playing straight through, without wanting to skip tracks. Enter Carte Blanche 2, a fine disc start to finish. Relaxed, spacy, with a strong but downtempo beat and gently soaring and soulful melodies lacing their way across the music. Suitable for parties, lounging, sipping wine, driving in traffic or, certainly, late-night chilling out. This is easy-going but skillfully done music, that won't insult your taste. The Naked Music people have done a fine job here of striking the elusive balance between relaxing and interesting, mellow but still sharp. The tracks are similar in mood and feel, but still distinct and different. You won't get bored. This disc rewards multiple listenings, and unlike all too many others is actually worth the money. If you've been hunting for that rare bird, quality, classy chillout, this is what you've been looking for. A good buy."

Sensual and soothing

"being a House fan from the old days and only buying classics,
i just recently discovered this remarkable and hypnotizing brand of music.
I'm kicking myself for not pursuing this earlier...
Shame on me for giving up hope on House.
It's a nice welcome."
