Free Music Notes for Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale
Free Music Review: Perhaps not the best of the Ultra Lounge series but Volume Four is still COOL!
Hit: 3 Stars
From the start of Nelson Riddle's "Theme from Route 66" this album jumps out @ the listener, with this being easily one of the BEST TV themes ever produced, very catchy and very cool, more reminiscent of just a hip lounge piece and is perfect to introduce this package. John Buzon's "Caravan" is another fun spin on what is one of the several out there of this great tune, this one being played a bit like a rhumba! Line Renaud's "Sexe" is nothing special but it's very slick and is a little like something that would have come from the cavern clubs during the beat era. I can't say enough about Lou Busch's jazzy "Cool", adapted from the already jazz-cool Bernstein musical "West Side Story". This is just another good rendition offered, although here instrumental and really pushing jazz solos. Love it! Although "The Beast" may be one of the CDs lesser tunes, an organ jazz piece with a piano backing, it's still really pretty cool and wears on the listener after a few listenings. Theme from "Our Man Flint" is pretty space age bachelor/surf music and one of the more orchestrated pieces on the album. Although Fascinato's "Spring Sprang Sprung" is pretty simple, its simplicity is what makes it just great background music. Its pieces like this that help make these Ultra Lounge releases good for gatherings & parties. "Night Train" is already a driving tune, but in Alvino Rey's hands, it's even more entertaining. I love "Harlem Nocturne", to begin with, and have another cool version of it on one of the other Ultra Lounge(maybe "Rhapsodesia", not sure). The Denny arrangement, though, is very mellow and cool, with a bit of the exotica sound that he made famous. The rest are anywhere from good to a little better, with Jimmie Haskell's "A Shot in the Dark", adapted from the 2nd Clouseau 'pink panther' film, a dynamite addition, and Spike Jones' 'stripper' interpretation of the 'serious' "Shangri-La" possibly funny as an in-joke but also just plain cool. Basically, more than 2/3rds of this compilation is great, with the rest being decent to good. So...you decide. I like it!
