Paradisiac [Import]

Product Description
Following their trimphant show at London's Buffalo Bar and recent double A-sided bad-boy 'We Don’t Live There Anymore'/'For A Maid', Millionaire release the new full-length 'Paradisiac' through PIAS. The new album is produced by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The music just floats in all possible directions, just like it did on their first album. Some of Tim's songs will make you wonder how on earth music can be so heavy and danceable at the same time! 2005.

Customer Reviews:

The best series ever!.......2007-07-02

I definitely didn't pay $50 for each volume, probably just a little more than half of that. You decide whether or not you want to spend that kind of money after I make the following comment:

I own over 2,000 cds filled with music from just about every style and genre.
The Paradisiac series has to be one of the best investments I have ever made when it comes to music and buying cds!

Best electronica/ambient compilation I have ever bought.......2001-04-16

I picked this up at a FNAC in France last summer, and I'm still loving it. The songs are definitely mood/bedroom music for the 00's. Some songs tilt towards sexual emotions (explicit, but almost inaudible lyrics), and others are simply instrumental.

Relaxation, ambience or even romance..........2000-07-04

This compilation is to me a unique combination of deep moody soulfull, latino, jazz inspired funky grooves... To be honest it fitts any occasion, wether you're into house, downbeat, techno, trip hop or ambient. Just have a look at the track listing, it's pearls on a string...

Very mediocre, middle of the road collection.......2004-11-13

That sums up this collection well. It's put out by Club Med and, perhaps that says something is some people's minds. What it amounts to is a fairly non-offensive collection of big-name artists (Kool and The Gang, Wes Montgomery, Roy Ayers, Sweetback - of Sade fame) doing downtempo. Think of it as muzak that is likely played at Club Med resorts or Sandals resorts to vacationers who find Club Med still suitable (as if it somehow ever was). South Beach, Monaco, Cannes sur Mer or St. Tropez discrimnating tastes this is not.

I will say that it does have packaging and style over substance, but beyond that, there are far superior products out there, literally for a fraction of the cost. Avoid this unless you have absolutely everything else in your collection and far nothing better to listen to (which I doubt).

An Amazing Compilation.......2004-02-12

I stumbled upon this set one day at a store and I initially purchased it based on some of the familiar artists on the track listing. What I had purchased turned out to be probably the best compilation of downtempo music I've ever heard. From start to finish on both discs I can't turn it off. If you're not enjoying it directly the compilation makes for excellent background music if you're having friends over to enjoy some drinks. I recommend this set to anyone who is a fan of downtempo music.

Music Most Excellent!.......2006-07-11

Millionaire obviously shares the same love of T. Rex's big, shiny glam rock riffs as Joshua Homme, who produced this album. At times, the vocals sound very similar to Homme's, although there's a bit more variety here. ('Wake Up the Children' actually channels RATM's Zach De La Rocha.) Fans of Queens of the Stone Age (except for those meatheads who only dig Nick Oliveri's Metal-Goblin input) will definitely feel a special connection to this band. The aforementioned T-Rexitudes are very reminiscent of QOTSA's glammier stuff, but Millionaire embraces synthy-techno grooves as well as big guitars, which makes for a most excellent combination...if you can find it, pick up the Japanese version, which is accompanied by a bonus disc. The song 'Starmeat' is AWESOME, well worth the couple of extra bucks you may pay for the import. Buy it, blast it, love it!!!

There is a paradise..........2006-05-04

I love their live shows. A lot's of energy going on. My favorite song on this album is "ballad of pure thought"!

Queens' Josh Homme is a huge fans (he produced Paradisiac), so is Matthew Bellamy --> Now it's your turn to get blown away.......2006-04-10

Millionaire: one over-the-top fantastic must-see rock'n'roll Band before you die, attend one of their crazy powerful liveshows after getting into their music a bit and you will understand why they blew Josh Homme away... If you don't know them, ckeck out the song "CHAMPAGNE" (and the great video/shortmovie also)

Now on to the record. Paradisiac is a grower, but one of a fantastic kind... More over the top, more kick ass, more punk-edged then their previous eclectic little masterpiece Outside The Simian Flock and more stonerrock... though actually I prefer them even slightly more than The Queens of the Stone Age.

Just Listen to Highlights WE DON'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE and WAKE UP THE CHILDREN (which sounds to me like a fantastic Rage Against The Machine song, but one gone completely out of control, without degrading itself into a chaos-trashpile), I bet you find yourself wide awake and screaming WAKE UP-the-wake up, wake up THE CHII-HIHIILDREN!!, some minutes later, roaming around the house like frenzy emptying a bottle of Jack Daniels and calling up all your friends to hit the night

And then we have the hauntingly beautiful song BALLAD OF PURE THOUGHT, which proves Tim Vanhamel's skills as a songwriter, which is for me one of the most beautiful songs of 2005

This album will lift you up for 45 glorious minutes with one awesome resting point (Ballad of pure thought), and will smack you down afterwards leaving you crawling on the floor begging for more. Well in that case: one advice, go get their debut Outside the Simian Flock, which is very good too.

For me Paradisiac is in my top 3 albums of 2005, sorry for all the superlatives, but they're worth everysingle one of them...

Better than Cafe Del Mar Series!.......2000-12-11

This compilation is absolutely superb. I have been a fan of the latter Cafe Del Mar releases, but have found them a little boring at times - Paradisiac 2 hits the spot that Cafe Del Mar doesn't when you want something with a bit more groove and less electronica.

As the cover says - deep jazzy house grooves. It can be used as a come down after a late night or a CD to get some grooves happening on the floor.
