:: Various Artists - Hotel Costes 7

Various Artists

With over a million worldwide sales for the first six CDs, it comes as no surprise about the seventh Hotel Costes offering. Stephane Pompougnac steps up to the mark again for an inspirational selection of eclectic Parisian fare, which oozes classy and sublime tastes to capture the spirit necessary. He has always had a good ear for the under-driven beats and lush sounding music and it’s typified by the terrific contributions by Mark Rae (with Veba on vocals), Thievery Corporation, and Mo’Horizons, just to name a few. We already know the top-notch standards that are met with these artists. Daringly eclectic and noteworthy are the lesser known artists featured, like Trinity FM and the Fort Knox Five, who provide above-average moments also. Perfect for the summer feeling, you can’t go wrong in adding this compilation to your collection of the Hotel Costes series.
