After a decade and almost 20 outstanding compilations, the makers of the "Saint-Germain-des-Pr?s" series paused and looked back. This had serious consequences, of course, because in view of the overwhelming abundance of tasteful lounge, chillout, deep-house and down tempo tracks, a compilation of the highlights was almost unavoidable. 80 heavily grooving pieces in total, on four CDs in a lavish box. They come from luminaries such as Jazzanova, Nightmares On Wax, Bart & Baker, Kenny Dope, Parov Stelar, Hayden James, Nuspirit Helsinki or Solomun.
