Albums For Today: Stephane Pompougnac's Hotel Costes series

I like cool chillout lounge music compilations (especially for long car drives), but I very rarely find such albums that work for me consistently. So I was delighted recently when I took a chance on a couple of albums from Stephane Pompougnac's Hotel Costes series. Classy, sensual and ultra-cool, they really are the bees knees when it comes to chilled out music. They nicely slip into that space half way between the foreground and background (Volume 2 is playing as I type) which I find perfect for driving. I can also imagine this playing at any future parties I might be having.

The only real issue I might have is they are not cheap. But then again - you are getting quality.

So, these albums are all very good so far (Volumes 1, 2 and 3) and I'm looking forward to trying more of the series out.

Peace :)
Jim.

Update 12 July 2009: Now have a flake of the volumes (1 to 10) and the series continues consistently good. Happy to have these.
