| | | |  Album Description: The ''Côstes'' brand is forever linked with the ultimate in quality and is renowned with patrons as the home of luxury in Paris. After all, the overriding theme is ''all things in excess.'' This is French DJ/Artist Stéphane Pompougnac’s tenth definitive set of the best tracks heard at France’s premiere club, bar & cafe and serves as a ''tastemaker'' (read: trendsetting) CD for the rest of the world. His penchant for choosing the very best music for this series burns bright as he incorporates tracks on this outing from de-Phazz, Laid Back, Goloka, Louie Austen, Orsten, $olal, Angus & Julie Stone, Peder (ft. Anne Trolle), DJ Disse, Deep Dive Corp., Elijah (ft Neve), Pompougnac himself with good pal Charles Schillings, all topped off with Dutchman Benny Sings. Feel free to luxuriate with the sounds and splendor of the most relaxing place in Paris with the upper crust. |  | | | |

 Average Rating : 
Rating : - GREAT! Even though some people dislike this cd, i think it is absolutely elegant, subtle, and beautiful. I own all other Hotel Costes compilations, and I understand that it is not the same, it is a lot more VOCAL, yet the inspiration is still there. Fleur Blanche, track 11, is just hypnotising. Actually, I really like all the tracks, all of them.
Don't pass on this one just because of bad reviews. Give it a shot, it grows on you. And like another reviewer said; OPEN YOR EARS, and appreciate the new style of the series!! You really can't get the same sound out of the 11 compilations.
