Product Description
From Amazon.com
In a market saturated by mix albums of every description, Ultra Records' Back to Mine series glows like a beacon in a fog of mediocrity. The idea is simple: artists are given a free rein to compile sets that are both intuitive and personal to their tastes, resulting in mixtures of postclub textures chiefly designed for horizontal dancing and chilled-out bonhomie. Latest recruits Everything but the Girl take to the format like ducks to water, displaying a musical pedigree that touches on house, hip-hop, and light drum & bass. Although most people have warmed to the group's shift into dance culture, what will surprise is their sublime choice of tune. Kicking off with the drum-machine jazz of DJ Cam's "Friends and Enemies," the moody hip-hop noir of Deadly Avenger's "Bayou," and their own production on Beth Orton's "Stars All Seem to Weep," the mood is stoner-paced but never drab. Follow this with a little stripped-back ambience courtesy of Carl Craig and a rousingly sanguine finale featuring Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free," and you have the makings of a fine night in. --Paul Tierney

STILL the best of the series,
By Creative Pulse (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back To Mine (Audio CD)
I own all of them, and I must say, this is still the very BEST in the series. Recent efforts by Orbital and New Order have been disappointing and just don't even compare. EBTG, Faithless, Nick Warren, and Talvin Singh stick to the original "chill" premise. "Turn the lights down, pour yourself a drink, and kick back.." Wasn't that what the Back to Mine series was suppose to be all about?

Great!!,
By Lou "battlecatsudi" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back To Mine (Audio CD)
Best CD I heard in 2002. Laid back but not overly so. I'm not quite sure how anyone can actually sleep to this CD as the insomniac reviewer stated unlees their use to listening to music at a 180 beats per minute. O'Hara's song brilliantly brings down the pace for a few moments until accelerating back to the CD's mostly mid-tempo vibe w/ Roots's Silent Treatment. Perfect for ecletic fans of jazz, hip hop, and house.

it's the chillest --,
By Matt Cameron (Newark, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back To Mine (Audio CD)
As a certified insomniac, I've found it necessary to devote a whole section of my record shelf to music that will put me to sleep. Not in the mind-numbingly dreary way that, say, Enya might, but pleasantly and with the possibility of pleasant dreams. This disc does it for me every time. It's especially good for airplanes -- I was never able to sleep on airplanes before.This isn't to say that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed it awake, too. The natural flow of these tunes is so carefully directed that it accomplishes what only the best mixes can: it becomes its own work of genius. Don't listen to it before midnight, but do listen to it. It's the best of the BTM collection, and the chillest thing I own.
