La Dolce Vita is an album of Euro-chillout as compiled by the Future Loop Foundation, and based in large part upon the repertoire used in mixes at the Diana Majestic hotel, a crossing-grounds for the old and new traditions of fashion and culture in Milan. Here, the beats never get too hard and the riffs never get too loud. There's a definite European atmosphere inherent in the works, with an urban sophistication in the production as well as performances that are made part of the finished mixed products. The bulk of the instrumentation would seem to be keyboards, synths, and drum machines (along with the ever-present soothing vocals), but there are certainly other musicians making themselves heard. "Chunga's Revenge" features cuts from a tango ensemble on bandoneon and violin, "Soft" includes a cut of an old Chicago number, and slight horn sections are present here and there. That said, the focus of a chillout album is rarely the virtuosity of the performers so much as the overall ambience created by the album as a whole. In this respect, the album does an excellent job. It's a casual listen, but there's a wealth of detail to be heard by a listener with the desire to get a deeper effect. Either way, the result is an enjoyable one for those looking for a nice bit of background music for a light evening. ˜ Adam Greenberg
