Plush

Author: Various

Format: Compilation

Release Date: 21-01-2003

Details: Amazon.ca While it fits comfortably into the overexposed genre known as "chill music," Plush stretches beyond the norm, mixing acoustic material with a wide variety of styles. Through a combination of jazz, light house, funk, and even watered-down two-step (Steve Austeen's "Like This" featuring Gillian O' Donovan), Plush uses a playlist of established and up-and-coming artists to tweak the chill formula just enough, making for a decent compilation. The always dependable Tomoyuki Tanaka (a.k.a. Fantastic Plastic Machine) contributes his "Todos Os Desejos" from 2001's Beautiful, all spiffed up here courtesy of King Britt's "Scuba" remix. Elsewhere, Hefner's sleepy remake of Prince's "Controversy" will please some with its clever choice of source material and infuriate those who appreciated the original's sharp, bouncy rhythms. Aquanote's "Come Around" (from The Pearl) blurs the line between Latin and lounge with a mournful trumpet melody. --Matthew Cooke
