Chilled Ibiza: Experience the Ultimate Sunset Mix

Product Information

Chillout Sessions XIX is the nineteenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. Although well received, some criticism has been made for CD 3 of the album, with many describing it as dance music rather than chill out.

The Chillout genre of compilations started in the UK and since 2003 Ministry of Sound has released them under different tropes such as "Chilled", "After Hours", "The Morning After..." which has shown MOS to have seemingly ended its branding of the genre as Chillout Sessions.Fifth in the series, Chillout Sessions 5 is a two-disc compilation of songs by various artists that was released in 2004. Its front cover uses the same image that the UK release The Very Best of the Chillout Session does. The image is also similar to that used on the front cover of Chillout Classics. Ministry of Sound, as a label, began in 1993 and its first album was the first volume of a series called Sessions. The series was successful enough for it to generate a spin-off series of The Chillout Session, which began in 2001 with a UK Compilation Chart #1 album. Volume 2 was also very successful. The first and second volumes were released in both the UK and Australia, but the series divided in August 2001, with one series for the UK and the other for Australia. Chillout Sessions is a series of compilations released by Ministry of Sound that focus on songs from the chillout genre. Songs on Chillout Sessions compilations vary in style from lounge to electronica and are released by many different artists. The Chillout Session is the first compilation in the series and was released on 5 February 2001 in the United Kingdom and Australia. Its cover image is used again for The Chillout Guide later in the year. Its cover image was actually first used in 1998 in the booklet of The Annual IV and later as the cover for the Ministry of Sound book The Manual.

Some Chillout Sessions albums have become known and distinguishable for the symbol of a turntable (with the Ministry of Sound logo on it) frozen in ice, or in one case ( The Summer Collection 2003) the turntable itself is made of ice. In the UK this motif is used on the covers of volumes 1, 2, The Winter Collection (2003), The Summer Collection 2003, and The Very Best of album. In Australia, the image is used for volumes 1–6 except on volume 3. The idea of the turntable with the Ministry of Sound logo on had been used on the covers of the Ministry of Sound Clubbers Guide in prior years (and in The Annual IV), the idea of such turntable on the covers was last used on Clubbers Guide albums in early 2001 when The Chillout Session began using the idea. Chillout Sessions 10 is the tenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. In 2016, the Ministry of Sound UK record label was sold to Sony Music. The label is run as an independent and split between A&R and Compilations. The Compilations team were retained when moving to Sony. A similar series started in Australia, where the series changed its name from The Chillout Session to The Chillout Sessions and then simply to Chillout Sessions and continued until 2016 with XIX until the record label rebranded to TMRW following the acquisition of MoS by Sony in the UK.Chillout Sessions XIV is the fourteenth instalment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. Chillout Sessions 4 is the fourth installment in the series. It was the first to remove "The" from the title, leaving the series title simply 'Chillout Sessions'. Amongst the releases from 2002 to 2004, Ministry of Sound UK also launched spin-off compilations such as Late Night Sessions and Late Night Sessions: Autumn/Winter Collection. Chillout Sessions XVII is the seventeenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound.
