Incredible
Unlike other reviewers, I got this album being AFRAID it would be the same old classical songs. Luckily it wasn't exactly. All of the songs are the same old classical pieces, but enhanced beautifully to make them surround you in brilliance. Each piece is aided with a soft lounge beat. Saying this is some techno remix album would be lying. Imagine your favorite classical songs, and then imagine your favorite Cafe Del Mar CD. When you mix the two, you have the best music ever heard. I reccomend this, and Classics 2, over any of the other Cafe Del Mar CDs, or any other chill out CD out there.

Crap
I made the mistake of purchasing this CD "sound unheard" online and am heartily wishing I could get my $2.25 back. Rather than being what I thought it would be--a compilation of some of my favorite classical music tracks, perfect for that late-night cooldown session--this disc is a veritable horror house of techno remixes gone awry. Brevity and indignation preclude from giving but one example (in fact there are twelve): listen to Gymnopedie for piano No. 1, by Erik Satie: a fine example of beauty through simplicity and understatement. Now, making sure you are seated, listen to what is labeled "Gymnopedie for piano No.1, for piano [sic]" on this CD. For some thoroughly inexplicable reason, CDM contrived to butcher this masterpiece with a cacophony of electronica-ish buzzing noises that sound like a bee farting, awful-crappy piano samples, and, if I'm not mistaken, Kenny G on melody. One hopes the French will press charges. 1 star instead of 0 since the pieces and composers are listed on the back--in the event you can make out remnants of the original works over all the bee farting, you'll know where to turn for the real thing.

classic digital disaster
This is by far is the worst cafe del mar cd that I have ever bought. Upon purchasing I expected it more to be like the Aria cd's but was extremely dissapointed. It is more a digitaly remasterd version of many classical songs which butchers their quality and sound and does them no justice. I would recommend not buying this cd if you truely are a cafe del mar fan, and if you do not own Aria 1 and 2 then buy them for they are really worth the listening.

Innovative interpretation of many overplayed classics.
This is an excellently enhanced CD compilation of many extremely familiar classical pieces with additional basslines, percussions, and a deluge of other interesting nuances for a chill out feel. You will enjoy this no matter what mood you're in. Even those who don't appreciate the classics will actually give this a good listen and respond to it positively, although it may offend the classical purists. My only problem with this CD is that it's so overpakaged! I'm beginning to wonder of the steep price tag is primarily due to the cumbersome packaging that makes removing and replacing the Cd back in ints case a test on motor dexterity. Although, I maintain that the package is done in poor taste, the music is just gorgeous.
