Hey Eugene!

Hey Eugene! (2007) more music like this

by Pink Martini

It took Pink Martini a full decade -- their debut, Sympathique, came out in 1997; the follow-up, Hang on Little Tomato, was released in 2004; and now Hey Eugene! arrives in 2007 -- but they've finally perfected their particular good-time blend of cabaret pop, pre-"world music" international fare, golden-age Hollywood scores, and lounge-informed, ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ...

Lounge Against the Machine (2000) more music like this

by Richard Cheese

In the late '80s and early '90s, two of the funniest characters on Saturday Night Live were the Sweeney Sisters, a Las Vegas-style lounge act that mercilessly butchered everything from Tin Pan Alley standards to Motown hits. Played to perfection by Jan Hooks and Nora Dunn, the Sweeney Sisters were the ultimate parody of cheesy, campy Vegas lounge ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 2: Mambo Fever

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 2: Mambo Fever (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

When Latin bandleaders popularized mambo in the early 1950s, this set many pop and big band acts scrambling to get in on the action. Mambo Fever, part two of Capitol's Ultra-Lounge series, takes 18 such examples from the vaults, spanning the mid-'50s to the early '60s. Yma Sumac (an exotica singer, not a bandleader) and Billy May are the only ...

Swingers [Original Soundtrack]

Swingers [Original Soundtrack] (1996) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

The 1996 Miramax release Swingers helped in part to launch the neo-swing trend of the late '90s. The soundtrack that accompanied the film not only introduced swing revivalists such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, but delved into classic swing, country, and funk to create an eclectic yet surprisingly cohesive album. Dean Martin's "You're Nobody 'Til ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The 16th volume of the Ultra-Lounge series is one of its finest. As its subtitle indicates, Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood focuses on soundtrack music reinterpreted in a lounge style. This tactic works nicely because the material chosen is resilient enough to withstand the interesting interpretations they get here: Good examples include ...

The Impossible World (1998) more music like this

by Combustible Edison

With their third album, Combustible Edison goes further out into the space/lounge realm than their initial releases (I, Swinge and Schizophonic) even hinted at. Continuing to be at the forefront of the so-called lounge revival, the band (which is really more like an art project) still embraces influences such as Esquivel and Martin Denny, but have ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

An 18-song exhumation of the Capitol exotica back catalog, placing old standbys like Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Yma Sumac alongside lesser-knowns like Webley Edwards, Bas Sheva, and the wonderfully-named 80 Drums Around the World. This favors easy listening-friendly exotica, rather than the style at its most outrageous. It may be too ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 12: Saxophobia (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

The lounge sounds of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are very much of a piece with the other volumes of the Ultra-Lounge series. But as you'd expect from the title, the emphasis is on vintage lounge at its jazziest, with the saxophone to the fore. This isn't the kind of jazz you're going to read about in Down Beat, despite the presence of ...

Ultra-Lounge: Vegas Baby! (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

From its founding in the 1940s until after it became the label of the Beach Boys and the Beatles in the 1960s, Capitol Records devoted itself to solo pop singers, its flagship artist being Frank Sinatra. Stars like Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and Judy Garland flourished at Capitol, and the company also contracted such performers as Peggy Lee and ...

Steel Guitar Heart Attack (2007) more music like this

by Jon Rauhouse

The title of this album might lead you to expect something along the lines of rowdy honky tonk country music. But no. Instead, what you get is a sweet-natured, generally kind of laid-back exploration of Texas swing, big-band jazz and vintage pop songs, along with a smattering of bongos and the occasional hint of a Hawaiian luau. From the relaxed, ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 3: Space Capades (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this was the easy listening music that tried to anticipate the space age. Utilizing theremin or spooky organ figures helped, as did then-novel tricks like stereo separation and then-exotic instruments and hi-fi effects. It wasn't just novelty artists that got in on the act; bandleaders Les Baxter and David Rose, ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

The organ has a respected slot in the space age pop/lounge lineup, and Organs in Orbit gives the Hammond its due by featuring 18 cuts in the style, originally recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s. It's a long way from here to Jimmy Smith, and you should check any hopes for funkiness at the door. If you've got a yen for the inimitable ...

I, Swinger (1994) more music like this

by Combustible Edison

Combustible Edison's goofy and irreverent mix owes a lot more to the music of the 1950s and early '60s than to new wave; they sound as if they've stumbled on a treasure trove of dime-store albums in their aunt's attic and can't quite get over the experience. Their immaculate recreation of late-'50s/early-'60s cheese is fun...to a point. Treading ...

The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound of Jean Jacques Perrey (1968) more music like this

by Jean-Jacques Perrey

"What I have tried to do," wrote Perrey in the liner notes to this album, "is to bring the electronic sonorities to popular music." This he accomplished via the ondioline, Moog, magnetic tapes, electronic instruments, and other gizmos. He also wrote or co-wrote most of the material on this disc, which sounds like nothing so much as late-'60s ...

One of the kitschier installments in the Ultra Lounge series, Vol. 7, Crime Scene features a cross-section of easy-listening and movie music culled primarily from Capitol Records' vaults. All of the songs are allegedly "about" or inspired by detective and crime novels and films, so you have movie and television themes (Nelson Riddle's "The ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 17: Bongoland (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The lounge songs of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are all dominated by the pulsating rhythms of the bongo drum. As with other instrument-specific CDs in the Ultra Lounge series (Saxophobia, Organs in Orbit), it can be too much. However, there is some great mood music here, perfect for creating a Latin-tinted party ambience. "Taboo," by Leo ...
