Windham Hill Chill 2

Performer: Various Artists
Distributor: BMG (distributor)

Notes: This is part of "Windham Hill Chill" series. WINDHAM HILL CHILL 2 is a beautifully packaged, two-disc set that collects music from Windham Hill artists into a DJ-sequenced, continuous mix. While the first disc is entitled Ambient and the second is entitled Acoustic, each exemplifies its respective genre through the musical kaleidoscope of Windham Hill artists. Often called "the original ambient label," Windham Hill favors strong performances and mature songwriting over scratchy beats and drumloops. Case in point, the Ambient disc features such artists as Tangerine Dream, who contribute the classic "Twin Soul Tribe," and Yanni, whose "In the Mirror" adds a soulful piano interlude to the mix. In contrast, Lili Haydn's "The Longing" is a slinky synth-heavy track that adds a cutting edge to the collection. Disc two, Acoustic, features heavyweights like Michael Hedges, George Winston, and Leo Kottke. Unexpected gems are provided by the Irish group Nightnoise, who offer a bit of Celtic atmosphere with their pastoral "Windell," and harpist Lisa Lynne who performs the delicate and charming "Welcome."
