Free Music Notes for Ultra-Lounge: Tiki Sampler
Free Music Review: Solid music from a confused era
Hit: 4 Stars
Hold on to your fedora and don't spill your martini, this is going to be wild man. If you dream of the old, dirty Vegas, the era of the Polynesian bar, of a time when American hot-rods roamed the country and your gas was pumped buy a guy in a paper hat, then this album is for you.
There are only two down sides to this sampling. First, it's on CD and not vinyl. This is a positive in that it'll never wear out, but there is a certain amount of authenticity given up for the sake of convenience. For most, it's well worth it. You'll just have to pick up the old records yourself.
The other down side is that you'll want to play this a lot, which means your friends will be amused at first, but on the third or fourth time they hear the Mel Torme's version of "Happy Together" they may very well crack and beat you senseless.
Free Music Review: We love this cd
Hit: 5 Stars
My daughter is a big fan of this kind of music and anything tiki. This was a Christmas present for her and she loves it. Great quality and prompt service from Amazon. Thanks!Free Music Review: A taste of Capitols huge vintage catalog
Hit: 5 Stars
The entire ultra-lounge series is excellent. However, all of the CD's in this collection only add up to a small tantilizing taste of the huge back catalog of vintage easy listening albums from the 50's & 60's - not to mention the Hawaiian LP's which are surpisingly underrepresented on the Tiki Sample and in the Ultra-Lounge series as a whole. Common Captiol/EMI, start releasing some of these vintage albums in their complete form!!!!!!!!!!Free Music Review: Should Not be played at A.A. Meetings.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD. Full of tracks that are perfect for almost any occasion: The Beach, Backyard Bar-B- Ques, Vacations or just Relaxing. This is an album that supports drinking and a carefree lifestyle. It supports what I believe in so I support it! Free Music Review: Louis Prima makes David Lee Roth sound like a virgin...
Hit: 5 Stars
I never got the lounge music thing but this collection worked for me because it's the very best one or two tracks from the large amount of lounge CD collections available from Capitol. 23 tracks including Nelson Riddle doing My Three Sons, Peggy Lee doing The Boy From Ipanema, , Mel Torme butchering Happy Together, Les Baxter, Jackie Gleason, Julie London, Lena Horne, Nancy Wilson, and so on. Plus the theme's from The Munster's and Get Smart. Lot's of fun here.
