Chilled But Progressive

Deep & Chilled Euphoria is a DJ mix album digitally mixed by British DJ Red Jerry as part of the Telstar TV's Euphoria series of DJ mixed dance music compilations. Released as a sequel to Jerry's previous installment in the series, Chilled Euphoria (2000), Deep & Chilled Euphoria features more of a "chill" sound than its predecessor, and features an array of ambient music from different artists. The album was described in its liner notes as "an attempt to enhance the experiences that exist in meditative states" where "rapidly produced states of deep relaxation increase suggestibility, receptivity to new information and enhance access to subconscious material," as was discovered in a 1950s study by neurologist William Grey Walter referred to in the liner notes. The album was released in January 2001 by Telstar TV and BMG, and was a commercial success, reaching number 5 on the UK Compilation Chart. It was also a critical success, many praising its eclectic array of artists and pure ambient sound. Some of the tracks were exclusive to the album and previously unreleased. Matt Borghi of Allmusic called it "a well crafted two-disc set that would find itself nicely in any audiophile's recording collection" and "an excellent recording and one that warrants attention." Another, final chill out installment in the Euphoria series, Chilled Out Euphoria, was released ten months later in October 2001.
