Published Reviews
Buddha Bar without the cover charge "An absolute pearler. Unquestionably echoes Buddha Bar but this is more adventurous. 9 out of 10"
Ministry of Sound magazine
"Pure Bliss are two words that spring to mind when describing the aural pleasure that awaits you on this newly released compilation. This double disc compilation is an absolute breath of fresh air and utterly unique in it’s musical offering. What sets this compilation apart is the undeniable musicianship which oozes from every song on this collection. Above all, this one definitely makes the A-list!"
Beat Magazine
BEST CHILLED ALBUM OF 2002
“A cracker from start to finish with a wide cross-section of both Australian and international artists. Compiler Leigh Wood has very carefully put together a mix of spicy world melodies, trippy breaks, hazy dub and new age prettiness that unquestionably echoes the Buddha Bar albums but at around $40 folks like you and me can actually afford this one.

Once in a while something a little bit different comes along that stands out above the rest – this one because it relies on the music and not the fashion to sell it’s point.

Pure bliss are two words that spring into mind when describing the aural pleasure that awaits you. An absolute breath of fresh air and is utterly unique in its musical offering.
Similar to the Café Del Mar series, there is an underlying spirituality and depth to the selection of tunes on this album not found elsewhere
This one definitely makes the A-list!
