Here is another release in the excellent Ultra Lounge collection which is jam packed full of super easy and exotica delights. The inclusion of a number of Les Baxter tunes should be a good sign as to the quality of this record, elsewhere there is "Power House" which will be familiar to Bugs Bunny fans, particularly swinging versions of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and "Puttin' On The Ritz" are welcome additions and the other-worldly "Satan Takes A Holiday" is a simple but compelling piece of organ groove. This compilation comes off sounding a bit like a U.S version of "Music For T.V Dinners" except...spacier. The mix of well known music and oddities along with the quirkiness on offer is reason enough to grab a cocktail, fill up the pipe and have a foot tappingly good time.

Hot damn! I'd forgotten I'd had this one before Katrina. And now, thanks to the Frolic, I have it again.

Mr.C, I declare you the winner of April's "YOU DA MAN!" award.

(and yeah, you'll probably win it next month as well)

Well, it seems we have rather similar tastes Mr.T. If you have anything in particular that you would love to re-acquire then I'd be happy to take some requests and see what I can do, you being such a good supporter of my efforts and all.

I checked that link for you Tasty, it does work so I'm not sure why you had a problem downloaded it. Sorry about that.
