 Seriously brilliant August 11, 2003
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Yes, yes, yes! At last an album of chillout that really works! Not some crappy compilation but all my favourite tunes in seamless medleys one after another. The sound is just perfect - beats - orchestras and no vocals to get in the way! When Midnight Cowboy came on I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. This hasn't been off my player since I bought it on Tuesday. It's brilliant - perfect for lazing around to.
Whatever Anne Dudley has done here it really brings a new spin on chill - clever clogs!
The best chill out album ever! January 16, 2004

I got Seriously Chilled in my Xmas stocking and I haven't stopped listening to it yet! I 'slip into something more comfortable', turn up the volume and enjoy it with a glass of wine. Anne Dudley's arrangements are fab, I love the way that she juxtaposes the depth and breadth of an orchestra beatifully with the modern beats of contemporary dance. I think Anne Dudley and the BBC Concert Orchestra are superb on this CD and this definitely blows all the other chill out CDs out of the water!
Mind-blowing combination of chill out classics played by a Symphony Orchestra July 29, 2006

ABSOLUTELY YES - if you appreciate timeless chill-out classics such as Les Nuit by Nightmares on Wax, and then contemplate these tracks being mixed together and played by the BBC Concert Orchestra - it's a quite incredible concept, and even more incredible when you hear the output! My sincere thanks and appreciation to Anne Dudley on a serious piece of musical genious :))

Anne WHO??? was my comment when i was first given this CD. what a revelation, being a bit of a Soul/R&B boy when it comes to chillin', I know how to, but this chillin does what it says on the tin!! After a hard day, with this on and a glass of chilled white wine(no pun intended) you cant help but be chilled....Perfect.

No no no! This is lift music at its worst. I really like a lot of Anne Dudley's work, especially her score for The Crying Game, which is why I purchased this. But it's uninspired James Last-style nonsense.Most of the tracks are straight copies of the originals with absolutely no sense of Dudley's own invention. And her choices are bizarre. What are the themes from The X Files and Robinson Crusoe doing here? There's a good version of Moby's Porcelain (with help from Morricone's Mission score at the end) and her orchestral version of Energy 52's Cafe Del Mar is the one real highlight. But, worst of all she commits the awful musical faux pas of replacing the vocal melodies with instruments. Dreadful. If you really want a mix of orchestration and modern beats look to the genres masters: Craig Armstrong, Rob Dougan and Hybrid.
