CD Reviews
Kandi = Quality
Tate | 01/25/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"As Kandi fans know, anything produced by them is just naturally good. There are usually a few average tracks, a few good songs, and Always a couple stand-out, worth-the-price-alone songs that blow everything away. This album is no exception, however, compared to some of the other compilations in the Winter Chill series, this one doesn't come out on top.
I'll start by raving about the incredible, absolutely birlliant tracks. On disk one there's "Lullaby" "Breathe Me" and "Following". Other good ones on that disk include: "And I.." "Lullaby" and "Barely Here" There's also songs that are really good, but you just kinda have to be in the mood for them, like "Chile Con Carne" which is instrumental and bubbily.
Disk Two isn't quite as good as disk one, but still produces the goods, such as "Burning Up" which is a really good song with male vocals and "Blame it on the Moon" which is glorious song with a kind of western flare.
Overall, this compilation gets an A++ like all Hed Kandi compilations, but ranks 3rd out of my favorite Winter Chill albums. First goes to Winter Chill 06.03 and Second is Winter Chill 06.02"
Great mix of chill music

"I really like the cd. It had songs that I'd never heard of and made me really take a look at some artist I otherwise would've never even heard of. Great way to find up and comers."
I cannot get over how good these discs are...

"Seriously - i've said it all. Absolutely stellar. I thought nothing could top 06.02 but Hed Kandi continues to amaze me."
Excellent Winter Chill album

"I'm a big fan of the Winter Chill series from Hed Kandi. This newest addition is a great compilation. I think they make the best chill compilations because it's filled with interesting songs that aren't heard on every other chill compilation. Highlights and my favorites include "And I" by Eventide feat Robina, "Burning Up" by Alpinestars, "Mermaids" by I Am Kloot, "Cold Air" by Natalie Imbruglia, "Stronger" by Sugababes, "Hayling" by FC/Kahuna, "Flowers In December" by Mazzy Star, "Wonder" by Lamb and "Black Cherry" by Goldfrapp. Overall a great compilation worth checking out!"
Yeah, this is a good one

"Sweet forlorn female vocals with fresh lyrics in wondrous arrangements...."Blame it on the Moon" and all that surrounds it keeps me coming back for more. A rare case where the CD 2 might be the better one. Everyone asks me to play this one again."
