Description:
Visions of Ibiza was compiled by Nick Bracegirdle, aka Chicane, the radio-friendly dance producer responsible for "Offshore" and one of 2000s biggest single collaborations, "Don't Give Up" with Bryan Adams. This Ibiza collection isn't the usual round of house-tinged chart toppers. Instead, Bracegirdle has dug deep in his record bag in an attempt to come up with an album that conveys the true spirit of clubland's favourite holiday home. Air's sublime "All I Need" and Aphex Twin's brilliantly twisted "Window Licker" set the tone as stylish and discerning, while including Mansun's indie class

This Ibiza collection isn't the usual round of house-tinged chart toppers. Instead, Bracegirdle has dug deep in his record bag in an attempt to come up with an album that conveys the true spirit of clubland's favourite holiday home. Air's sublime "All I Need" and Aphex Twin's brilliantly twisted "Window Licker" set the tone as stylish and discerning, while including Mansun's indie classic "Wide Open Space" ensures that this alternative to the sound of the super club is as eccentric as it is eclectic. With an excess of ambient grooves from the likes of Orb, William Orbit and Sabres Of Paradise and a defiantly chilled mood in general--Bjork's "Big Time Sensuality" is as close to a hands-in-the-air floor filler as it gets--there will be those who feel Bracegirdle's missed the Ibiza point. Even so, there can be little argument that his very individual vision of the dance island is refreshing and for the mere fact that it all hangs together so well, nothing short of miraculous. --Dan Gennoe
