pLUSH is, so far, one of my favourite chillout compilations on
the Kriztal record label. Like its predecessors, it isn't
particularly original, though it's surprisingly catchy and
listenable. While there are a few lesser tracks (Alex Cortiz's
bland "Fingerprints," Cadien's stale "Bud"), there are also many really solid
numbers. Hattler's "Silent Surveyor (De-Phazz Remix" is one
of this disc's gems. It lays comforting female vocals over a
slick electronic background and some nice, melodic chanting.
It's got a nice trip-hop feel that's very pleasant. S-Tone
Inc's infectious "In The Mood For Love" and Minus 8's
sprawling "Theia" also impress. This is a classy
lounge electro disc, and should be ranked among many of the better
chillout compilations out there.
