2009 has been a hectic year so far. Not only for our listeners but for the crew as well.Cinr's Top 10 Chill out tunes
1 S.W. - Cancao de Manha
I remember that S.W. gave me a copy of this tune just after he finished it. Cancao de Manha became the ultimate soundtrack of my 3rd holiday in Ibiza. Amazing stuff from our favorite Raar FM dj and producer.
2 Doktor Rockit - Cafe de flore
Mister Herbert musically describes a scene in this cafe with such sense of reality that you can just taste the croissant au beurre and a nice glass of expensive champagne.
3 Dalida - J'attendrai (2001 remix)
The original version of this classic tune has already been a hit somewhere in the 1930's. Dalida's voice combined with laidback beats is magic. >30 degrees music for sure.
4 Afterlife - Cry / Breather
Their first album has been released in dozens of different formats and unfortunately couldn't convince the commericial audience. However, the whole album is worth listening, especially when you relax on the beach or sipping a cocktail @ Mambo.
5 Lonnie Listen Smith - Journey into love
Lonnie is the godfather of laid-back jazz music and inspirator to the likes of LTJ Bukem and so many others. Journey into love is as cool as they get..
6 Ame Strong - Tout Est Bleu
More Cafe Del Mar 5 music, this French tune is just plain magnificent and cool.
7 Dusty Springfield - Morning please don't come
I can't believe she passed away already 15 years ago. Such a shame, listen to this sexy latin-orientated song and you'll understand why morning shouldn't come that soon...
8 A.R. Rahman - Mumbai Theme Tune
The first track on the Cafe Del Mar 5 album. The album that made me love chill-out music. Everytime I hear these "Atlantis" like ambient/new-age sounds, it brings a smile on my face
9 Cesaria Evora - Saudade
The queen of Saudade never fails to deliver. The expression "Saudade" has been described as vague and constant desire for "something that does not and probably cannot exist". Cesaria gives a new meaning to this mystic phenomenon.
10 Noir Desir - Le vent nous portera
Melancholic music song by a controversial Bertrand Cantat, who has been released from jail 2 years ago after being sentenced to eight years in prison after he was found guilty of causing the death of Marie Trintignant, his girlfriend. Manu Chao plays the guitar on this beautiful song. Check out the lyrics. Chill-out with a deeper meaning.
