5 stars for creativity.......2003-01-31

I bought this CD specifically for Track 4, Blues for Ibiza. The duet between the blues guitar and Harmonica is just luscious, and worth listening over and over. All other tracks are very interesting and unique, though not quite as memorable.

Sorta boring.......2001-07-14

I bought this CD because I'd caught a few of Jose's tunes of the Cafe del Mar series, and thought, nice, maybe I should buy the whole CD. The CD is relazing and the first time I listened to it I really liked it, but somewhere around the second time, it just got boring. It sort of dreamy, repetitive music that just runs out of steam fast. I give this two stars and I'm considering putting this one up for sell.

Truely Beautiful.......2001-05-21

One of the main things wrong with the (music) world today is that there isn't more music that can convey the sense of peace and relaxation that this albums conveys without being dull, and uninteresting. Jose Padilla is one of the most underappreciated people in music today. He has produced so much great music, much more than is represented either here, or on the Cafe del Mar series which he produces. It really is too bad that more of his music is not readily available. If you enjoy smooth, beautiful latin flavored music with ambient overtones, this is an absolute must have.

dreaming of Ibiza..........2001-02-23

Having become a devout fan of the ibizan-inspired "Balearic vibe" after listening to such acts as Chicane, Salt Tank, and the inseminal "Cafer del Mar" CD series, I recently decided to risk the purchase of Jose Padilla's "Souvenir"; an album I had never heard.

After the first listen I can fairly say it was one of the better things I've ever done. Padilla's album gently transports one to the white island itself; almost effortlessly. The entire CD is nothing short of musical genius in capturing what I feel is the true balearic vibe, the true sound of Ibiza.

The album is awash in warm, sweeping synth strings. Trumpets, woodwinds, and an assortment of carefully selected ambient samples all fuse as one to create a chill out experience like no other. Padilla truly seems to have his finger on the pulse of Ibiza and the concept of balearic music as a whole. With tracks like the lush, soothing "I like Clowns" to the haunting, mournful "Blues for Ibiza", "Souvenir" offers a tast of the Ibizan experience without ever leaving the comfort of your living room.

I strongly recommend this album to anyone who likes the "Chill out" albums, under the Euphoria CD series or to anyone who appreciates the "Cafe del Mar" CD series, originated by Padilla himself at the now legendary Cafe del Mar open air sets. This is one of the better full-lengths I own!

Blues for Ibiza.......2000-01-11

Absolutely beautiful. Remiscent of the early days in house music documented on many of the tracks in the Cafe del Mar series compiled by Jose Padilla yet "Souvenir" sounds more modern with lots of ambient overlays. Slow, groovy, and melodic with lots of soul are the words I have come to associate with sounds from Ibiza and Jose Padilla. Its hard to find any other artist producing this type of music. Jose Padilla is in a class of his own. I've been collecting various genres of vinyl over the past ten years and this style is definitely my favorite. Forget the price, just buy this album along with Cafe del Mar vol. 1 & 3 and Spritually Ibiza if you do not already own them. This album is way better than any New Age, Ambient Experimental, or Acid Jazz in my opinion. WOW! Get the next day shipping. Its been sureal.

Customer Reviews:

Mado Robin a great sound.......2004-05-02

Mado Robin's voice and style are truely wonderful and so rare. Not just the fabulous high notes but, the sweetness and evenness of tones throughout her vocal range and her impeccable diction in both songs and arias here are so special. There is nothing today like this gorgeous sound. A wonderful album. I wish there were more Robin releases.

Puts Mado Robin on the map.......2003-12-31

Before listening to this album, I had always thought of Mado Robin as a sort of vocal phenomenon; able to reach high notes beyond what anyone else had or has ever hit on recording (the whistle tones of Erna Sack, Yma Sumac, and Mariah Carey notwithstanding), but without any real substance. After hearing her a little better recorded, I have changed my opinion. Her coloratura is admittedly shaky (despite some wonderful staccati), her vowels slightly nasal, her vibrato sort of reminiscent of Snow White, and her low range a bit forced, but overall she is an excellent interpreter of both fluffy French art song and grand opera. Her voice is always rather mysteriously beautiful, but in her high range it blossoms into something truly unique and wonderful.

Of course, it is her high range for which she is remembered; on this album she actually restrains herself from showing off in every song, but there are still plenty of high A's (the one ABOVE high C) and even a B-flat or two. Particularly memorable are her interpretations of the Doll Song from "Tales of Hoffman" and, surprisingly enough, the "Traviata" arias, despite the fact that they are performed in French. In "Sempre Libera," she hits what may be the most perfect E-flat on disc, and resists the temptation to take the final A-flat up the octave, and her final note in "Addio, del passato" is simply gorgeous.

The disc has a couple flaws; the recordings were taken from different sessions at different times, and anything recorded before 1950 (mostly the latter half of both discs) suffers from bad recording quality. Additionally, Mado got a lot better as she aged, so the earlier material also suffers from less than stellar singing, particularly on the two Queen of the Night arias, which are actually pretty bad. Also, some of her most memorable interpretations (in particular the Bell Song from "Lakme") are missing. Overall, however, this album is well worth the money and comes highly recommended.
