Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt have selected and compiled their interpretation of the ultimate chillout set.

This is the fourth release in the Back To Mine series, which has become the standard in chill out music.
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is a Various Artists mix CD compiled and mixed by Tracey Thorn, Ben Watt. | | Includes liner notes by Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. | | Audio Mixer: Ben Watt. | | Audio Remixer: Juan Atkins. | | Liner Note Authors: Tracey Thorn; Ben Watt. | | Editor: Pete Evans. | | Everything But the Girl's contribution to the BACK TO MINE series is a pure chill-out mix, perfect for late-night lounging. Low-key, atmospheric folk-pop by Beth Orton and Mary Margaret O'Hara bleeds into down-tempo electronica and hip-hop from DJ Cam, Model 500, and Dubtribe Sound System. As one might expect from the uber-cool Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn, the set is sophisticated, well sequenced, and perfectly modulated. | | Down-to-earth, soulful vibes emanate on the Roots's "Silent Treatment," balancing out more abstract, ambient outings like Carl Craig's "A Wonderful Life." The set closes out on Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free," which serves as a benediction, casting a bright, hopeful light over the entire listening experience. This collection is perfect for moody background, but--unlike many chill-out compilations--it also rewards concentrated listening. |
