1	Hey Eugene! (2007) more music like this by Pink Martini add to wishlist 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, ... see all copies from £7.44! new only from £11.43!
2	Greatest Hits of Brasil '66 (1970) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist Released along with a slew of other A&M greatest-hits collections, 1970's Greatest Hits takes listeners through a dozen Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 tunes from the albums Herb Alpert Presents through Crystal Illusions. Not all of these were hits -- indeed, not all of them were singles -- and they are not representative of the wide range of Brazilian ... see all copies from £3.58! new only from £5.61!
3	Ultra-Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter (2004) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Ultra Lounge series returns with Cocktails With Cole Porter, a collection of '50s and '60s renditions of songs Porter wrote in the '20s and '30s. For the most part, these songs made the transition into lounge territory intact; Nat King Cole's "Just One of Those Things," Ella Fitzgerald's "It's De-Lovely," Julie London's "My Heart Belongs to ... see all copies from £6.72! new only from £8.10!
4	Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The exotica revival continues with Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, the perfect gift for the swinging hipster on your list. Among the highlights: Billy May's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Mambo," Jimmy McGriff's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town/White Christmas," Dean Martin's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," Julie London's sultry "I'd Like ... see all copies from £4.36! new only from £7.25!
5	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 9: Cha-Cha De Amor (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Cha-cha music at its Whitest and most easy listening-friendly, recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s by Dean Martin, Julie London, Billy May, Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Walter Wanderley, and a number of other performers who are only coming to light in the lounge revival. Yma Sumac, Perez Prado, and Tito Rodriguez add a little (a very little) ... see all copies from £8.05! new only from £8.05!
6	Snowfall (2001) more music like this by Jackie Gleason add to wishlist see all copies from £4.75! new only from £4.75!
7	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 13: TV Town (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £7.79! new only from £7.79!
8	The Music from Peter Gunn [Bonus Tracks] (1959) more music like this by Henry Mancini add to wishlist This is not only a great CD but a key piece of jazz and pop music history. Back in 1958, Peter Gunn was one of the unexpected hits of the new television season, capturing the imagination of millions of viewers by mixing private eye action with a jazz setting. Essential to the character of private investigator Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens) was that ... see all copies from £5.38! new only from £5.38!
9	Easy Rhythms for Your Cocktail Hour (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from £3.66! new only from £8.11!
10	The Schulmädchen Report [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Gert Wilden Orchester add to wishlist The tag end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s brought a river of permissiveness into film, with sexploitation getting a pretty good foothold in American drive-ins and cheap theaters -- not porn, but softcore weirdness involving lots of young people running around naked in whatever circumstances could be concocted. As good as America's ... see all copies from £17.12! new only from £17.12!
11	Greatest Hits (1965) more music like this by Ferrante & Teicher add to wishlist Curb's Greatest Hits is a budget-line collection that contains Ferrante & Teicher's greatest hits, including "Theme [from The Apartment]," "Exodus," "Tonight," "Lisa," and "Midnight Cowboy," as well as five other tracks. It's a brief collection, but it gives a good sense of what the easy listening group was all about. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, ... see all copies from £4.21! new only from £6.25!
12	All Time Great Movie Themes (1993) more music like this by Ferrante & Teicher add to wishlist see all copies from £4.20! new only from £5.59!
13	Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1966) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band). He came up with a marvelously sleek, sexy formula: dual ... see all copies from £6.86! new only from £7.57!
14	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from £4.21! new only from £7.19!
15	Music for a Bachelor's Den (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As space age bachelor pad music goes, these were among the most widely heard examples of the genre. Over half of these 15 cuts, in fact, were hit singles, including such smashes as "Quiet Village" (Martin Denny), "So Rare" (Jimmy Dorsey), "Moritat" (Dick Hyman, and later to be changed into "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin), "Yellow Bird" (Arthur ... see all copies from £3.99! new only from £9.90!
16	Look Around (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist Sergio Mendes took a deep breath, expanded his sound to include strings lavishly arranged by the young Dave Grusin and Dick Hazard, went further into Brazil, and out came a gorgeous record of Brasil '66 at the peak of its form. Here Mendes released himself from any reliance upon Antonio Carlos Jobim and rounded up a wealth of truly great material ... see all copies from £4.17! new only from £7.59!
17	Today (2001) more music like this by Raul Malo add to wishlist From the start, it was obvious that the Mavericks were comprised of a more interesting variety of flavors than most C&W hitmakers, and by the time they released Trampoline in 1998, the band had evolved from an eclectic country-accented outfit into an adventurous adult pop group willing to dip their toes into practically anything. So it shouldn't ... see all copies from £3.15! new only from £6.66!
18	Quiet Village/The Enchanted Sea (1997) more music like this by Martin Denny add to wishlist Martin Denny is rightfully known as the king of exotica/lounge music. The music is defined by breezy, middle of the road, early-60's pop arrangements buttressed by sound effects of ocean, wildlife, birds, and other natural phenomenon. Scamp Records out of New York has done an excellent job of reissuing his original albums, and this CD, which ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £8.77!
19	Tara's Theme from Gone with the Wind/Jealousy (1997) more music like this by Percy Faith add to wishlist Two of Percy Faith's most popular albums from the early '60s, Tara's Theme from Gone with the Wind and Jealousy, were combined on this single-CD reissue by Collectables. Although the sound and the packaging could be a little better, this still is a fine way for collectors to pick up these two records on disc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music ... see all copies from £5.14! new only from £5.98!
20	Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) more music like this by Henry Mancini add to wishlist This soundtrack to the movie adaptation of Truman Capote's novel Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of Henry Mancini's best. The pleasing blend of pop (the perennial "Moon River") and swing stays fresh over the album's 12 tracks and shows off Mancini's considerable writing and arranging skills. The cuts range from the layered, big-band mambo "Something ... see all copies from £4.20! new only from £6.10!
21	Ultra-Lounge Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £4.73! new only from £12.00!
22	Four Rooms (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to Four Rooms is a collection of kitschy cocktail music, performed by original practitioners like Esquivel, and revivalists like Combustible Edison. It's an enjoyable, if lightweight, album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
23	Mambo Sinuendo (2003) more music like this by Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán add to wishlist Mambo Sinuendo is a collaboration between Ry Cooder and Buena Vista alum (and formerly of many other groups as well) Manuel Galbán. The album attempts to catch an old style popularized in Cuba by Galbán, and was, surprisingly, never followed up on by anybody after Galbán. It's a guitar-based romp closely based in the pop/jazz crossovers of the ... see all copies from £3.48! new only from £9.80!
24	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from £4.24! new only from £7.00!
25	Cugi's Cocktails (1963) more music like this by Xavier Cugat add to wishlist Contrary to the title, Cugi's Cocktails is no sleepy album of "cocktail music." It has all the elements a listener would expect of Xavier Cugat's first great stereo album: an agreeable theme, a dash of exotic flair, and all the bombast of the preceding half-decade of experimenting with high-fidelity stereo recording. "One Mint Julep" would have ... see all copies from £6.70! new only from £6.96!
