Chilled Ibiza: Experience the Ultimate Sunset Mix

Product Information

Chillout Sessions XIII is the thirteenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. In Australia, the series has been a continued success from Volume 3 in 2002. In a different approach from the UK, the Australian series maintained the numbering system as a suffix in its titles, with only the "Best of..." style album Chillout Classics omitting a number from the title. Chillout Sessions XX is the twentieth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound and was released in April 2018.

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 XVIII is the eighteenth 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 second sequel, Chilled Acoustic, was released on 17 May 2010. It is themed to chillout songs which use acoustic guitars, following the themed Anthems Electronic 80s release in November 2009.Following the numbered releases (volumes 1 and 2) and both the Ibiza... releases, the albums were themed to seasons, starting with The Winter Collection 2003 (actually released in late 2002, as the sort of style Chillout Annual 2003). The Summer 2003 edition reached #10 in the UK Compilations Chart. A third Ibiza... edition, Ibiza Sunsets, was released shortly afterwards. This series, despite sales success, was suspended in favour of other Ministry of Sound albums in 2003. Its final album The Very Best of the Chillout Sessions was released in late 2003, but did not sell well and until 2011 was the worst-selling album in the series. The front cover uses the same image that the UK release The Chillout Session 2003: Winter Collection does. 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'.

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. 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. The Chillout Sessions 3 is the third installment in the series and was released on 30 September 2002. It was the first album to be released in Australia only, and the first to use the name 'Sessions' in the title instead of simply 'Session' Chillout Sessions 10 is the tenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound.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.

Chillout Sessions 7 is the seventh installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound.The cover art for the album used on the slipcase depicts the Ministry of Sound logo uprising out of water. Chillout Sessions XVI is the sixteenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. Since 2018, Ministry of Sound exclusively moved their Playlists to Apple Music. Many of their well known compilation brands such as Anthems, Fitness, I Love and Chilled have moved to a Playlist format, which accounts for the limited releases of non-streamable Chilled Compilation albums. A notable example is the Chilled House Session series that ran from 2009 to its final release in 2019 (Chilled House Session 9) and is now an exclusive Playlist on Apple Music. 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 XII is the twelfth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound.
