Customer Reviews

I loved it
I discovered this CD while browsing in a record store awaiting a friend. Intrigued by the cover and campy artwork, I decided to give it a try. Am I glad I did! I listened to it three times from beginning to end on my trip back to Tallahassee from Orlando. I've never heard many of the songs before, so although they're 40 or so years old, they sounded new and fresh to my ears. I truly enjoyed the "Boy from Ipanema," "Brazil," and Jackie Gleason's "A Taste of Honey." Although I'm an avid Doors fan and have even met Robbie Krieger, the CD's elevator version of Zacharias' "Light My Fire" had me giggling with glee. I work in the rock music industry, and this was a welcome change from the generally nondescript and repetitive music heard on popular music stations today. I think anyone who can nostalgically remember these songs when they were first released, as well as those like me who were too young to have caught them as original releases, will enjoy these hits. I've since ordered three more Ultra-Lounge CDs and am planning my first retro-cocktail party--as soon as I can find some tiki drink stirrers, lava lamps, and faux bamboo wallpaper in the local party store. Fun fun fun!!

Ultra Cool
I own all the ultra lounge CDs. This is a great sample set and a great place to start if you are new to the series. The Fuzzy Sampler is good too, along with Vegas Baby. Ultra lounge series has always been heavy on instrumentals...some great, some ok. This disc has a lot of instrumentals but every one is a gem! i love this CD and the entire collection. Not really Tiki music, but a cool set anyway. if you want more Jungle stuff ....try a Martin Denny CD or the Del-Fi title: Jungle Jive.

Don't be mislead
Don't be mislead by the packaging of the cd. It's not about Tiki Lounge, though there are a few Tiki tracks like Martin Denny but it's mostly just cocktail lounge. This cd is full of wonderful tunes and is a must by for any collector of the Ultra lounge series! Plus you also get several bonus tracks and 2 hidden tracks. Does anyone know who the mystery man from spain is? I just can stop listening to it......!
