Amazon.com:
The fifth installment in Stéphane Pompougnac's wildly popular series, Hôtel Costes 5 dishes up more of the impeccably classy, impossibly cool lounge beats that Pompougnac regularly spins for Jean-Louis Costes and his guests at the famous hotel in Paris. As on all the others in this series, Pompougnac's lithe, fun mix features the good taste, smooth textures, and chic musique that his clientele demands. Pompougnac's DJ ears catch perfect segues others might miss, like the little pieces of Vision's dramatic 'Ponger Star' that can be found in the preceding track, 'Cocaine Is a Sin' from the Strike Boys. The usual clever touches are present as well, like Fantastic Plastic Machine's wonderfully fey cover of Joe Jackson's 'Steppin' Out.' For those of us not fortunate enough to spend our nights soaking up Parisian luxury after a long day of sashaying down the runway, Pompougnac's records allow for a certain vicarious thrill, though more blue-collar ears will yearn for some dirt. After all, dance music at its core is supposed to be dirty, soaked to the bone with sex and sweat. But while Pompougnac's style may lack blood and guts, it's an awfully pretty skeleton just the same. --Matthew Cooke
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Steady beat.....
I'm aware that the underlying steady beat is part of the genre but when present, it just kills the groove and the polyrhythmic aspect of the music. it's sounds often like sophisticated disco to me.
Rating:  - 50/50
half of the songs on this release almost seem like a joke. what's up with all the talking in One Night in Rio? leave the comedy for the comedians.. Joe Jackson's Steppin Out is murdered and is not believable because it's not that well sung and is overly sleepy on top of that. the singing on the first two tracks is almost annoying, but if your ears aren't expecting top tone then you may find them listenable. and that duop duop song that everyone's heard a million times only takes up space where a ...

Rating:  - You either "get it" or you "don't".....
...look, this is a completely "adult-urban-contemporary-cosmopolitan-chic-chillout-martini-and-voo-doo-lounge" CLASSIC.
This is required *Music Library* for this genre...Stephane at his most elegant, playful, soulful, and smart.Brilliant song selection and sequencing, and impeccable production values (mixing and sound).The flow is amazing and seemless, evoking a quirky film score. This is headphone stuff.
You either get it or you don't.
Rating: - not my favorite
When I started listening to Pompougnac I fell in love with the music. Some of my friends told me to start with number 5, I bough 3,4,5,6,and 7 the same day... thank god because number 5 was the one I liked the least... don't get me wrong it is a BEAUTIFUL CD and the songs are great but not the best of them... 6 and 3 are the best for me so I recomend to start with number 6 then 7 and then any of them....I have the whole Hotel Costes collection and it is just amazing. Stephane is a GENIUS...
Rating: - Refreshing
I decided to branch out after the Buddha Bar series introduced me to the world/chillout/lounge music scene, and the Costes 5 album was the first one I bought outside of it. It's quite refreshing and chic, good for day or night time, versatile, fun and even a little cheeky (One night in Rio :) )definitely, DEFINITELY worth a listen!
