All of Nettwerk's chillout compilations have demonstrated the label's licensing muscle and mostly bounce between straight-up electronica and remixes from the precious side of pop. The Best of Chillout Past and Present stays the course, adding a more high-profile set of tracks. Big names Delerium, Dido, and Sarah McLachlan all get wistfully remixed, but Moby's "Porcelain" shows up in its original version. While not really mixed, the songs do just brush up against one another and the flow of the album works just fine. The Hybrid track and Mad Professor's sweet and drippy mix of "Teardrop" hail all the way back to the late '90s, which must justify the "Past" in the title.
This release does not include The Chemical Brothers as track 2 and has only 13 tracks in total. Everything else is identical. Other Versions (2 of 2) View All. Cat.
I guess it was inevitable that a series of compilation albums would eventually culminate with a best of assortment of tracks that have been. If you are not a fan of the prior Chillout albums its a fair assumption to make that you wont be a fan of this set. Progressive tech-house solidifies the tone of this recording. Theres a plethora of talent though as Massive Attack, Moby, Delerium and Sarah McLachlan lend their artistry to some exclusive remixes and original tracks. The problem with this release and its predecessors is that they are just plain boring. A down tempo album is a bit of quandary, no doubt, but what separates a good one from a bad one is the ability to titillate listeners just enough so as to keep them in a truly chilled out mood for after or before the party. This comp fails to live up to its name.
