v v a a Compilation Disney

Chill Collins: An Ambient Tribute to Phil Collins is exactly what you think it is. Twenty artists doing twenty ambient covers of solo Phil Collins songs. It exists in the vague place between Music For Airports and Music From The Disney Motion Picture "Tarzan". Despite the title, this isn't necessarily a compilation to fall asleep to, though some tracks might fit the bill. There's contemplative flugelhorn over the backdrop of distant fireworks (Jesse DeRosa as Shingles); serene tones buried under swaths of tape saturation (Amulets); rhythmic pitched-down Ambient-hop (Angel Marcloid as MindSpring Memories); feedback loops of self-consuming drones (the welcome return of Nicholas Burrage, née Szczepanik); and plain ol' brilliant stupidity (Breakdancing Ronald Reagan).

DJ Ravin takes the wheel behind Buddha Bar III, the namesake compilation from Paris's answer to Studio 54. Ravin forgoes the Dinner/Party division that Claude Challe opted for on previous installments of the series, and instead casts Dream versus Joy on this two-disc set. Dream, leaning on the traditional (syrupy Greek strings, Japanese bamboo flutes, Persian harmonists) and New Age Enigma/Deep Forest side of things (Oliver Shanti & Friends, Vangelis engineer Frederick Rousseau) is frankly too restless to be truly dreamy. The frenzied run through so many styles, seemingly solely for the sake of diversity alone, ultimately feels about as sincerely global as a mad dash through Disney's Epcot Center. The second CD in the set, Joy, pays a tad more attention to a general vibe, resulting in a much better overall effect…

Feel Flows: The Sunflower & Surf's Up Sessions 1969–1971 is a compilation album and box set recorded by the American rock band the Beach Boys and released by Capitol/UME on August 27, 2021. It is largely dedicated to material that the group recorded during the making of the albums Sunflower (1970) and Surf's Up (1971). Produced by Mark Linett and Alan Boyd, it is the band's first major archival release since Wake the World and I Can Hear Music in 2018, and the first issued on physical media since Sunshine Tomorrow in 2017. The title is taken from the Surf's Up track "Feel Flows". The compilation was released in four different formats: a five-CD box set, a two-CD set, a double vinyl set, and a quadruple vinyl set.
