Three-disc collection from the man behind the influential Buddha Bar series. Compiled into three themed discs, Life, Love and Dance. 42 tracks in all. Chall'o Music. 2005.
He May Not have Invented the Lounge CD Collection, but He Might as Well Have. Claude Challe Perfected the Concept of a Music Soundtrack Played in the Clubs, Restaurants and Lounges that When Sequenced Properly, the Mix Itself Became King. He Started with the Set for "Les Bains", on to the Rai House Fusion "Flying Carpet" and Eventually Landing in the "Buddha Bar. The First of the Buddha Bar Series is Regarded as the Epitomy of the Lounge Collection, Incorporating Music from Obscure Sources and Helping Bring them to the Listener Conditioned on Pop. This Triple Disc Set Draws the Best Tracks from all of Challe's Many Collections and Compiles the Creme in One Fantastic Ear Opening Set, Divided Into Themed Discs of Life, Love and Dance, it also Includes New Classics that Fit Wonderfully Into the Sets. Each Package Comes with a Sample of Lanvin's Fragrance "Arpege Pour Homme" in the Initial Copies.
Claude Challe's music is undeniably the best in this genre. I have tried hard to listen to other mixes, but I always come back to the old master. If you've never tried Claude Challe, this is a great way to introduce yourself to Claude Challe. The three CDs included in the box go as far back as Buddha Bar I. For those of you who already own every single Claude Challe CD, you'll be pleasantly surprised as this mix puts a new spin on previously released songs.
