Customer Reviews

Mesmerizing...
The first time that I came across Paris Lounge Vol. 3 was back in March while browsing through a lifestyle store in Vancouver...

It was by pure chance that I picked up a pair of headsets and tried listening to one of their albums; and the instant CD 1 from Paris Lounge Vol. 3 came on I was mesmerized by its soulful, transcendental notes. Its compilation is unlike anything I have heard before and yet it seems like the notes are all familiar and reminiscent of some distant memory.

It was really "love at first sound" for me, and probably for many others here in Vancouver - as I had to wait for another 2 months before getting my hands on a copy. According to a store clerk, this collection was sold out within the 1st week of shipment, and no other stores in Vancouver carried it at that moment.

So was it worth the wait? Yes, and yes, and yes...

Paris Lounge or Paris Under A Groove
I recently came across both of these releases in a record store.
The album Paris Lounge was priced fairly high, while Paris Under A Groove was selling for 16.99. Paris Lounge had two discs and Paris Under A Groove one 73 minute disc.

So, I purchased them both since I could not decide and neither shared any of the same tracks. It seems that Paris Lounge consists of a bunch of tracks pieced together that is supposed to typify the Paris sounds. The second disc is really kind of boring. The first is better but has that annoying L'amour, L'amour cheesy jazz massacre.

Paris Under A Groove however, has some really amazing funk, soul, jazz and hip hop fusion music. It really has more mood evoking material. The tracks are deep and really flow together nicely. I especially like the tracks Cold Move, and So Daft. This is a nice collection of all french artists.

It reminded me of my last trip to Paris and the way I felt during a night out on the town. The sounds and funky - jazz, deep house tracks brought back some memories of driving through Paris on a chilled night, hitting some clubs and taking in the city lights. The opening track "Le Perif" is quite mellow. However after a second listen with increased volume it grooves quite nicely. The track opens with some city noise, rain samples and kicks into a strong jazz piano groove. The other bonus is that this has a great classic track from st germain that's unavailable elsewhere.
