AMG Review of Relax: Edition Four

David Jeffries
All Music Guide

Originally a 100-percent downtempo series, this fourth edition of Blank & Jones' Relax series is split into a “Sun” and “Moon” disc with the latter picking up the pace a bit. Still, you won’t be filling the floor with the “Moon” disc, but it might make you tap your toe as you’re swinging away in that hammock. “Sun” is the more traditional Relax sound from Blank & Jones, with smooth beats and tropical flavors dominating the set. Laid Back, Keane, and Vanessa Daou all make guest appearances on this 2009 release.
