7. Puff Dragon � Lava
8. Fabel � Fortune-teller
9. Anesthesia � Floating
10. Jules Verne � Sad Melody
First out is an artist I haven�t heard before (Tomzen aka Thomas Dietl). But the track he gives us is really beautiful! A down tempo dub track with a nice tribal male voice. Very relaxing. Track 2 is by someone more famous, Digital Mystery Tour (DMT). This is Stephane Holweck most known from Total Eclipse and Michio Baba from Japan in a collaboration. They released a great album on Twisted Records in 2001. Here we surprisingly get a new track from them. Dubby, down tempo chill going in a dark way with a lot of variation. Deep and relaxing. Track 3 is by Marius Katz aka Great Leap Forward, who released an album on Flying Rhino Records in 2001. Here he has put the trance aside, and made a really nice chilled track with floating soundscapes, psychedelic sounds and great melodies. Fantastic! Track 4 by Magneticon (Michael Kammler) has a deep down tempo rhythm and some floating sounds above. Very slow and relaxing, but not as varied as the previous tracks on this compilation.
Track 5 by Crowd Control (Jesper Banner and Thomas Banner) has a pretty happy melody, but a bit scary at the same time. Track 6 has some vocals and sounds a bit more funky. Nice one. Track 7 is a little surprise. This is a guy called Puff Dragon, which is actually a chilled project by the man behind Double Dragon (Steve Good). This is a very happy track with light melodies and sounds. Good to hear some chill from this guy too. Then we get a track by Jeppe himself, where he calls himself Fabel. This has some tribal rhythms and some sort of dark sounds. Mystic chill. Track 9 is by an artist I haven�t heard much from for a while. This is by Anesthesia who released an album (P.V.C.) on Blue Room Released in 1997! Here we get some voice samples you also find in a Deep Dive Corporation track. A totally weird track. The last track on this compilation is by a guy called Jules Verne (Jakob Olsen). This is a totally relaxing track sounding pretty sad as the track title says.
This chill out compilation is surprisingly good! Interesting artists and tracks all the way. So let�s hope Iboga Records will continue releasing good quality chill like this in the future.
