"Situated just next to one of the most beautiful sites in Paris, the Place de la Concorde, is a very special place unmarked by the passage of time. This exceptional and even mythical spot is the Buddha Bar. The restaurant and bar was inaugurated in 1996 and named after the enormous Buddha statue specially commissioned for the site. A very special atmosphere dominates this unique location. The Buddha Bar offers a seductive blend of chillout dancebeats from around the world, mixed together by DJ Claude Challe and luring the listener into a musical dreamworld. One just has to sit back and enjoy the ride through this magical universe. The listener is cordially invited to partake in an eclectic initiatory voyage, timeless and without boundaries into an atmosphere where space is filled by beauty, sweetness and love's serenity. This music is for the traveller whose voyages lead him to discover the mysticisms and rhythms of the world. The Buddha Bar is a place which makes one feel good, as it takes us on a voyage into the world situated between dreams and reality."

I can't believe it's not Buddha.

Sorry, but after second thought, I'm not sure that the two albums, I've listed here (definitely serious music), fit well with what you're going to post in this thread.


If you want to hear some more "serious music" in the same style, then you could try Cafe del Mar, which nicely rhymes with Buddha Bar.
