when daddy and mommy are in the bedroom they play euro lounge. The moans are drowned out by euro lounge, but i can still hear some of the thumps. I wish daddy would stop hurting mommy so much, but the music sounds nice. They also listen to it when they use their "hookah"

This is a great CD. It makes you feel awesome and at least five years younger. It's nothing drop-dead gorgeous like Sarah Mclachlan, but that's not it's purpose anyway.

My favorites are Un Simple Histoire, Limbe, Salpica, Jackie, and Sempre De Domenica, but they're all pretty good. The only one I could say I didn't like was "Voulez-Vous?" which I found annoying.

It's something you can listen to anytime, anywhere, and you'll probably get people asking you where you got it. I bought this without ever hearing it before because of its enticing cover and Putamayo Presents' history (always good). I was definitely not disappointed.

I love this CD! Great selection, various styles, it says on the jacket that it's guaranteed to make you feel good, and it's true!

This is the follow-up to Putumayo's World Lounge, and it covers pretty much the same electronica-gone-global ground. Despite collecting artists from across the continent -- from Belgium to Turkey -- it is somewhat less diverse than its predecessor; about a third of the selected artists are not very distinguishable from each other, as they tend to employ the same methods of intregrating electronica with pop and folk elelments.

Nonetheless, there are stand-outs in the mix and the notables are German-Chilean duo Mambotur, Italian songster Daniele Silvestri, and young spanish innovator Mastretta, whose songs each are colorful, humorous and distinctive, helping add a bit of balance to the steady chill-out factor of the overall album. Other attention grabbers: Turk Ilhan Ersahin, whose track "Girl" is a lovely, lush blend of electronica and Middle Eastern elements, topped off with sweetly Bjorkesque vocalist Nil Karamibrahumgil; and septugenarian songtress Vanja Lazarova, whose traditional folk stylings mix impressively well with fellow Macedonian and technopopster Kiril's electronica backdrop.

In keeping with Putumayo's high standard for producing worthwhile compilations, all the music presented on this album is of quality and none of the tracks are truly bad (admittedly, however, I can pass on Bossa Nostra's English-lyric'd "Jackie" and Arling & Cameron's overextended "Voulez-vous?"). So even if some of the tracks, when pitted against each other, show some limitations, I can easily recommend this to anyone who interested in the latest trends in world music. And besides, it's still hipper than anything you'll hear on The Gilmore Girls.
