Now five editions in, Sequoia Groove's "Buddha Lounge" series is not even close to running out of steam. In fact, in Buddha Lounge 5 the grooves are better than ever, highlighting European-influenced chill-out music that makes the term "euphoria" seem like an understatement. Like its predecessors, the cuts on Buddha Lounge 5 were handpicked and seamlessly mixed by David & Steve Gordon, and feature a heavy-hitting line-up of artists like Jaya Lakshmi, Achillea, Artemesia, Tau and the Gordon Brothers themselves. The assortment is laid-back and full of ambient atmosphere, making it equally ideal for a club, an upscale dinner party or a night of R&R. Throw in some sensual vocals, mellow rhythms and the occasional ethnic twist, and you have the Buddha Lounge 5 compilation that you will turn to again and again when chilling is on the agenda.-
