Various Artists Music for a Bachelor's Den, Volume 4, Easy Rhythms for Your Cocktail Hour (1995)
LABEL = DCC Compact Classics, Inc.\nID = dzs094\nUPC = 010963-009422\nCOPYRIGHT = 1995\n*****\nPart of the "Music for a Bachelor's Den" series.\n*****\n1995 DCC Compact Classics, Inc.\nReleased February 16, 1996\n\nAMG Review - As spage age bachelor pad music goes, this is among the goofiest and edgiest. This 14-song survey is heavy on two aspects of the cocktail kitsch genre: then-futuristic, now-primitive synthesizer squawks (Richard Hayman, Dick Hyman, Perrey-Kingsley) and double entendre sexual innuedos. Sometimes that double entendre was vocal, as in Julie London's "Hot Toddy," or Mel Henke's ridiculous "The Lively Ones" (some of whose dialogue is delivered by Herschel Bernardi). Sometimes the titles of the instrumentals sufficed by themselves (Les Baxter's "Lust," Jerry Murad's "Music to Watch Girls By," Hyman's "The Topless Dancers of Corfu"). And there are old space age pop standbys like Latin rhythms, stereophonic experimentation, exotica, and mutation of time-honored pop standards worked in. This compilation may not be long on consistency, but on the other hand the track selection is very good, assembling some of the most amusing, fun, and adventurous cocktail music available. -- Richie Unterberger\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nLounge music at its sauciest and its goofiest, August 7, 1998 \nReviewer: Fredric Weiner from Philadelphia \nThis CD is an excellent example of "Lounge Music," a genre I only recently got into. The tracks are very pleasantly varied; there is something for every taste (among those who can dig this sort of music). The standout tracks, I feel, are the two "PLAYBOY-esque" songs by Mel Henke ("The Lively Ones" and "The Twisters"), a jazzed-up version of Leroy Anderson's "Jazz Pizzacato," and a big-band, no-frills version of "Caravan." P.S.: If you gritted your teeth when I used the phrase "dig this sort of music," then Lounge Music is not your cup of expresso!
This jazz cd contains 14 tracks and runs 38min 40sec.
