  that late-’90s sound was pure magic. Café del Mar, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack, Zero 7… all blended ambient, downtempo, and trip-hop into that smooth, emotional vibe. Love it

  This just appeared in my feed and I came immediately to the comments.<br>I was in Ibiza before 1994 and the chill out sound was already evident but it was on that trip in 94 that several of us already had the first Cafe del Mar album that was released that year. The first album probably created the biggest stir because it was the first one and it was so successful that Jose Padilla (RIP brother) immediately planned a second and many, many other people and places rushed to get their compilations out to cash in on this &quot;new sound&quot; <br><br>Cafe del Mar was incredible in those days when it was the only building along that stretch of coast, before all the other places looked to cash in on their success. They definitely did do this but building bigger places and playing louder and harder music may have got them what they wanted but it did nothing so much as kill the original vibe. <br><br>I was dj&apos;ing myself before the end of the 80&apos;s so I found myself a little in awe of Jose, standing there behind that tiny bar doing the thing that I would have loved to be doing. I spoke to him many times, he was always genuinely pleased to hear just how much people loved the music he played there. He was a gentleman. <br><br>Cafe del Mar the series was groundbreaking and you still hear these albums played in beach front places everywhere but as good as they were (and Volumen Quatro was sublime) this one, Volumen Cinco stands above them all. <br>It is a thing of rare beauty.

  I had this on cassette when I lived in Cairo for a couple of years - it was my constant companion sitting in traffic or gallivanting wherever I was going to. &nbsp;So good.

  No big drama, only such a wonderful and simple pianopiece to enclose this famous recording is just the best! Sometimes less is more. 🙂

  VOL.V By José Padilla y considerado el padre del género, un icono del sonido Chill-out. Lanzado en 1998 y 28 años después sigue siendo exquisito e irrepetible.<br>Gracias por estar en mi vida tantos años. He disfrutado los atardeceres más bellos del Mediterráneo en la terraza de Café Del Mar envuelto del mejor Chill Out de su época. Siempre en mis recuerdos y en mi corazón.
