The selection was good and has representative tracks from various artists. I like the work of Paul Van Dyke and he is represented here. Harmonika by Estelle is my favorite. It is a light piece that builds up from a sequenced synthesizer guitar melody that is looped to become a rhythm. Most of the tracks are relatively mellow, but not as mellow as "chill out" would be. Although I liked individual tracks and all of them were at least okay, it did not work for me as a collection. The tone of the tracks is fairly compatible. The tracks flow together better than most I have heard, but it did not feel completely seamless. Some of the tracks still felt like they were still experimental and that possibly more fine tuned versions will appear later on. As experiments, though, they are still interesting.
