French imprint George V has carried the vibe of the Buddha Bar to the planet one more time. Disc One is named for Paris, and extols major relaxation. Notable tracks/contributors are Naomi’s "White,” "Hasdi Hasdi (Hit Squad Mix)" by Panjabi Hit Squad featuring Manpreet Kaur, Antaeus’ "Palm of the Prophet,” Yasmin Levy’s "Madre, Si Esto Hazina,” Pompon Finkelstein’s "Lost In Reflection (La Forza Del Destino by G. Verdi),” and Popat’s own "Golden Ring” with Alexandre Scheffer. Disc Two is entitled “New York” and appropriately jumps up the boogie. Hot picks include Ensemble Ethnique’s "Asilah,” "Mother Blues" by DJ Bool presenting Jerk House Connection, Sanja Ilic & Balkanika’s "Balkan Vocals,” "La Esperanza (Hope & Faith)" from Bongoloverz featuring Ursula Cuesta, Orient Expressions’ "Istanbul 1:26 a.m.,” Yves Larock’s "Nomadic Knights,” and "I Feel You" from Schiller. Of course, Popat & Scheffer add in their "Dil Mera.” A sumptuous feast of rhythm and groove.
