 Once in a while there arrives an album that you want to check out due to its sheer uniqueness and originality. CHILLOUT HEAVEN is one of them that has music composed by Fridrik Karlsson, the man who is known for his gentle soothing music. With CHILLOUT HEAVEN he promises to offer the kind of music that would create an ultimate chillout experience that relaxes and helps in relieving the stress.
Truly relaxing, 'Chillout Heaven' lives up to its title as it transposes you to a world that could be far away but still within yourself. With minimal instruments in play, there is a constant rhythm merged into an intrinsic melody that creates such a smooth flow that all you wish is to switch off the lights and go on a peaceful sleep. A track that maintains a consistent pace and doesn't loose its momentum even once, 'Chillout Heaven' is the one that corporate houses should play in a repeat mode near the workstations!
One can't quite make up the mind to ascertain if 'Chillout Heaven' was a better version or 'Rest Your Mind', which comes next. This time around it's a guitar in full play as it maintains a smooth flow along with some gentle beats that knock your soul and only attempt at making you forget the hard day that you may have experienced so far. With some faint sounds coming from a distance as 'Rest Your Mind' continues its smooth ride, this one is a gem and makes one look forward to what rest of the album has to offer.
After 'Chillout Heaven', it is time to get into a 'Chillout Zone'! In the beginning it seems as if the opening sound would pave way for some momentum to pick up but a minute into the track and one realizes that this was not the case to be! Instead 'Chillout Heaven' maintains its slow pace throughout it's duration with the first sound of beats only coming in after the track has been on for around 2 minutes. By now one understands the kind of sound one expects from 'Chillout Heaven' and pretty much gets it on one track after another. By now, 'Chillout Heaven' finds itself into the category of 'highly recommended'!
There is a certain crispy feel in the beats of 'In The Moment' that makes one instantly attracted to it's sound. Gentle sound of guitar in the background only adds on to the appeal of this highly involving track that moves at such a smooth pace that one almost forgets when it transitions from the track prior to it and finishes to knock at the track following it. Truly relaxing and extremely easy on ears, 'In The Moment' makes one look forward to which other album does Fridrik Karlsson have in the offering!
Third time in the album, there is an invitation for a 'chillout'. After 'Chillout Heaven' and 'Chillout Zone', it is 'Time for Chillout', literally, as a namesake track arrives next. Yet another track that cannot be really explained in words and has to be experienced, felt and enjoyed, 'Time For Chillout' is yet another winner and makes one look in awe at the work of Fridrik Karlsson.
Ditto for 'What Tomorrow Brings', which marks an end to this brilliant piece of music that 'Chillout Heaven' had for an offering. A kind of track on which a melodious song could easily be composed, 'What Tomorrow Brings' truly makes you look forward to what tomorrow has for the offering in the real life!
'Chillout Heaven' is an extremely well made album that should find a place for itself in the world that is troubling itself with day to day hassles and stress. Truly a stress reliever, it is an album that can be played in the night and ensure a peaceful slumber.
