Did you notice how your local record store got gradually swamped
with dozens of "chill out" and "lounge" compilations during the
last couple of years?... Whatchamacallit-Bar, Hotel-This,
CafΘ-That... some of them excellent, some good, some
not-quite-so-good... This had seemed like the perfect moment for
the makers of the acclaimed Freezone series to step back, make a
pause, chill out some... or rather move on to something else (such
as for example their extremely successful Ziriguiboom
sister-imprint, which has been ruling the neo-Brazilian scene with
great albums by the likes of Bebel Gilberto, Suba, Zuco 103 et
al)... But it's hard to fight against one's nature and, in the
spring of 2001, irrepressible Freezone mastermind DJ Morpheus felt
that the time had come to share with the public some of the
discoveries he couldn't help making during these long,
freezone-free months... so he's gone back to the drawing board in
order to design this new volume of Freezone, The Mother - Of - All
- Chill - Compilations...
Let's refresh our memories for a second: between 1994 and 1999 the
Freezone series has always been ahead of the most interesting new
trends in horizontal and semi-vertical dance music... thanks to his
legendary flair and impeccable taste, DJ Morpheus has consistently
managed to introduce up-and-coming greats... Did you know for
instance that DJ CAM, MIGHTY BOP (aka BOB SINCLAR), HOWIE B,
PHOTEK, 4 HERO, KRUDER & DORFMEISTER have all appeared on Freezone
2, back in 1995 ? Then came FILA BRAZILLIA, HERBERT, PHIL ASHER &
ASHLEY BEEDLE, PULSINGER, LUKE VIBERT (FZ3, 1996), BASEMENT JAXX,
THIEVERY CORPORATION, CHARLES WEBSTER (FZ4, 1997), Rae & CHRISTIAN,
KEVIN YOST, JOE CLAUSSELL, DOCTOR L, SUBA, DJ SPINNA (FZ5, 1998),
ISOLEE, AIM, SE±OR COCONUT, LONDON ELEKTRICITY, CHATEAU FLIGHT,
MAURICE FULTON (FZ6, 1999), as well as already-confirmed acts like
MOBY, JOSH WINK, CARL CRAIG, COLDCUT, PLAID, ALEX GOPHER etc...
Also: the fact that (since the 96 edition) every single track has
been exclusive certainly did contribute to making the collection
even more fascinating...
To make a long story short: Freezone has been an absolutely major
reference for chill out fans worldwide, each volume being at the
same time a precious set of clues for things to come and a great
listening experience... So the release of this new double album
should be great news to anyone who likes his lounge music to be a
little more spicy than what's on the usual menu, to anyone who
believes that "chill" doesn't need to mean "dull", and that
"adventurous lounging" isn't necessarily an oxymoron. SSR is
therefore proud to invite you to...
