Slowly fading out in almost nonexistence, chillout and downtempo are still powerful styles of music peppered across a landscape predominantely filled with techno, house and trance. Often overlooked and slowly being forgotten, there's still a distant collection of the community members making sure that those beatless, lush soundscapes don't disappear into the night entirely.
Compiled by world-famous Cocoon Recordings, SILK PEARLS 2 is a marvelous double-disc collection of some of the world's best in the chillout game. The worlds' top producers sit comfortably next to some of the best unknowns, with powerful tracks appearing from Move D ("Silk Dub"), Senseque ("Seaview"), Trentemoller ("Take Me in to Your Skin"), and Burnt Friedman ("I've Got Your Love to keep Me Warm"). Never once do the selections let up--moods elevate and decay, and tempos shift at a moment's notice, leading the listener from the Saturnian to the dour and back again via two solid hours of some of the most elegant of abstract beats.
