The Classic Chill Out Album Vol 2's predecessor is set to become the number one selling chill out collection of 2001 so the second instalment has much to live up to. Unfortunately I fear the chill out bubble has well and truly burst and this is just a last ditch attempt to milk the genre for as much as it's worth--cue the sound of barrels being scraped. A cursory glance at the tracklisting confirms my suspicions--Dido, Moby, William Orbit and Goldfrapp all make obligatory and uninspired appearances, although, to be honest, these are the high points. Wait until the dull jazz of Martin Taylor or Stan Getz snoozes by, Sade underwhelms you with the soporific "No Ordinary Love" or the realisation kicks in that you're listening to "Crocketts Theme" from Jan Hammer. Even worse, cringe to various bastardisations of real classical music, where Vivaldi, Holst and Beethoven are all given a New Age re rub with disastrous results. "Fur Elise" on a dodgy pub piano, anyone? --Paul Tierney
