One of life's greatest pleasures is the giving and receiving of mix tapes. Toward this end, the genius concept of the Back to Mine series was born; enlist a group of stellar dj's and ambient groups to compile their version of the perfect post-club chillout mix tape, then release the results on the unsuspecting populace. The fourth installment of this project is entrusted to the always brilliant Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt of Everything but the Girl, and they do not disappoint. From the fan-to-fan accessibility of the liner notes, discussing their difficulty in narrowing their selections to fit a single cd, and dismay over being unable to obtain the rights to other favorites, to the careful sequencing and mixing of the tracks, this is a labor of love that excels at every level. Back to Mine flows seamlessly from jazzy trip-hop to soul and hip-hop to house with such ease that Watt manages to segue from Slick Rick to the gorgeous Beth Orton track "Stars all seem to weep" within moments. The perfect accompaniment for afterhours introspection, Back to Mine perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the languid last hours before the dawning of a new day. This is the mix tape you wished you could give, or receive from your best friend.

Found this on vinyl at Towers SF and with the exception of only having two songs per side, it's worth the effort. Excellent production. The songs seem very fitting to those familiar to EBTG with perhaps the exception of the R&B "Someday We'll All Be Free." Best track is the lovely Beth Orton's "Stars all Seem to Weep." It grows on you. Pour a glass of scotch, turn the lights down, vacuum tubes 'a glowing, and chill.

From reading some of these reviews, it appears some people are confused about this release.. perhaps if the contibuting artists' names were placed alongside the tracks (like other compilations) there would not be this confusion...
This is the 6th release in a series called Back To Mine, in which artists and djs are approached and asked to compile a collection of after-hours/back from the clubs tracks... how this differs from other "chill-out" collections is that the artists selected dig deep into their record and cd collections, pulling out rare gems and fave tracks, as opposed to what's hot at the moment.
That said, this newest release of Back To Mine is one of the strongest... I thoroughly enjoyed the track selection and sequencing. Highlights include Deadly Avenger's "The Bayou", Dubtribe's deep house "Do It Now" and Donny Hathaway's beautiful closer "Someday We'll All Be Free". I would give this release 5 stars, but I find the Mary Margaret O'Hara track thoroughly annoying, and wonder why it was included.
The Back To Mine series is well worth checking out. Other standouts in the series being Global Underground DJs Dave Seaman & Nick Warren, as well as Groove Armada. Morcheeba has been picked do compile the next one, due later this summer.
Oh - for more upbeat vibes, check out EBTG's Ben Watt spinning deep house grooves on the amazing Lazy Dog compilation.

But Track #6, "Cascades of Color" is awesome! I can listen to this song over and over and over and over! This song is just too ambient and cool to not repeat it. The others are decent, like "Flow" and "Silent Treatment". The others are decent, but if there was ever a CD where there was one song in which made it worth buying... It's this one. If you're a deep house fan, "Cascades of Color" is a MUST listen!!!!

Okay- after 1st listening to this CD- I didn't really get it... I thought that it would be EBTG- but it wasn't... but what I got instead was beautiful music to listen to on a sensual summer evening. The music and the re-mixes are so unique- I wish they's play this music in some clubs- it is great to dance or chill out to.
As I have found in every EBTG CD that I've explored, each album is different from the next, but they show great development in the artists and their musical taste and style.
This may spur me to buy another Back to Mine album...
