Wait! Give me a chance here. I know, lounge and chill CD compilations are 99% crap and rehash the same songs and yadda, yadda, But we are talking bytes per buck and if you want lots of bytes, it is here my dear. You get a an audio CD of some decent chilled beats by Tosca, Leggo Beast, A Man Called Adam plus the obligatory Moby track—a not bad “Whispering Wind? Actually these cuts are more ambient than chilled or lounge. More sofa sinking than head nodding. Once you've done with the ears, you can get bits for eyes. The DVD does not contain the MTV videos or promo clips from these artists. We get what looks more like video (with FX) from your friend's jaunt in India and her coral diving trip around Koh Pi –Pi mixed in with Discovery Channel animal clips. Nothing original, nothing offensive, this is the soundtrack for drinking straight cranberry juice in a lounge on a Wednesday night.
