VA - Phuket - A Hip Island: The Best In Relaxed Chillin' Beatz [2CD]

12 brilliant pieces that combine with chill-out and exotic elements (...) this album builds the atmosphere close to the charming relaxing vacation mood on Phuket Island.

"Phuket, a beautiful island surrounded by Andaman Sea, is the biggest island in Thailand and the only island that has its own administrative divisions. Natural landscapes such as pretty beaches, spreading rocky islets, stalactite caves, plus the clean blue sea and the amazingly beautiful underwater scene, no wonder Phuket is called "The Tropical Paradise". For all the travel-loving people all over the world, the elegant sceneries and the mysterious atmosphere of the ancient Oriental culture in Phuket are the most attractive features. Although this "Pearl of Thailand" went through the havoc of the South Asian tsunami in the end of 2004, the tough vitality of the island and aids from other countries made it possible to rebuild the island and restore the operation in 2005, which shows the energy and hopes of this island.

The "A Hip Island" series planned and released by High Note Records with the subject of holiday islands surely won`t miss this world-known important scenic spot. We selected 12 brilliant pieces that combine with chill-out and exotic elements, fill with holiday mood on an island, and abound with international styles and standards. From Cellar 55`s lyrical folk cover version of U2`s classic "With or Without You”, Monta & Rossini`s "From Day Into Night" which extracts Massive Attack`s masterpiece "Protection" and uses the rhythm lines to recreate the oceanic tinge, to Koop`s new Jazz and Siam Soul`s Oriental feelings, this album builds the atmosphere close to the charming relaxing vacation mood on Phuket Island.
