Someone asked for more info on the ENCHANTED 01 compilation. Here
it is:
_____________________________________________
THE BIG CHILL (UK):
$20.99 VA: Enchanted 01~The Big Chill [presents] (FACTOR2) 2CD
The second release on The Big Chill label follows the high profile release
by string sextet Instrumental, which was Observer pop CD of the week and
also received enthusiastic reviews in The Independent and The Independent
on Sunday, Straight No Chaser, Dazed & Confused and many other publications.
The double CD compilation is selected, edited and mixed by Pete Lawrence
and Tom Middleton (due for a hit single this autumn with his Cosmos 'Summer
in Space' single on Island Blue). It features rare and sought after tracks
from regular Big Chill artists who have played at the last two Enchanted
Garden festivals, such as Fila Brazillia, Mr Scruff, Mixmaster Morris, A
Man Called Adam, Hefner, Jimpster, Bullitnuts, Instrumental, Luke Vibert
and BJ Cole, Sidestepper and Sound. CD1 is more up-tempo and dance
orientated, CD2 is more ambient, showcasing the diversity of The Big
Chill's eclectic style at its best.
Tom Middleton's new Amba track 'Enchanting' is exclusive to the album.
After two highly successful festivals at Larmer Tree Gardens (this year's
sold out six weeks prior to the event) The Big Chill looks set to receive a
lot of press over the next few weeks, with over 40 publications and 30
photographers attending the event this August. A film of Enchanted Garden
99 will be released this autumn which is expected to be shown on Channel 4.
