Various Artists - Café Del Mar: Volume 9

Travel to Mediterranean Sea, towards the West coast of Ibiza and you will find immaculate beaches and of course the infamous bar, Café Del Mar. Since 1994, Café Del Mar is also a CD series of chill out and ambient compilations that strive to capture the essence of its location and particularly its renowned and spectacular sunsets. Because it is now released on its own label, this volume seems to have left the eclectic spirit of previous one behind as well as the need to add big name artists to sell more albums. What you have here is thirteen tracks of chillout music that do not deviate from one to the next, thus creating a more homogeneous sound than the previous outings. Some will be missing the winning sound from previously successful albums while others will liken it to an extension of the last rays of sunshine of the summer to have a mellow dance session or just listen to blissful ambience music.
