Dangerous Yuletide Lounge,
By SL "stef_cd" (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails: Part Two (Audio CD)
This album is great! Possibly a better selection that Volumne 1, though they complement each other very well. Buy both if you like your seasonal lounge slightly skewed. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without hearing Bob Atcher and the Dining Sisters singing 'Christmas Island' - an absolute tiki classic. On the boring technical side, the digital remastered sound on these and all the Ultra Lounge albums is superb.

Cheesemonger a go-go, with tinsel and egg nog!,
This review is from: Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails: Part Two (Audio CD)
If your looking to throw a festive party, and you need some quality cheese, then this is the CD for you. If a cheese fondue was musical, this is how I would like to think it would sound at Christmas. Christmas songs in a cool, loungey vibe...what more could you want? Dean Martin's "BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE" is my fav. When I go this CD last year, I continuously woke my partner up by playing this song, and putting it on repeat. What better way to wake up on a cold morning in your flat, that the smooth tones of Dean....lulling you into conciousness!

Raise Your Holiday SPIRITS!,
By Matt Sigl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails: Part Two (Audio CD)
Leave it to the geniuses at Ultra-Lounge to put together the Christmas Album you always wanted but could never find. This is Christams through an ironic lens. So cleary not "cool" that its ridiculousness makes it so. Very paradoxial. This is Christmas music devoid of any real sentinment but still shiny with a glossy venner of wholesomeness--underneath one can see (as with all lounge music) the seedy side of the 1950's. This IS Cocktail music after all. (Dean Martin ONLY sang Cocktail music, ask his liver!) Highlights of this edition include Mr. Martin's BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, The delightful Bonus Track "What is a Santa Claus" and Lena Horne's spellbinding JINGLE ALL THE WAY. To hear her sing the word "Horse" with no less than six vowel sounds is worth the price of the album alone. As always the album and jacket art are first rate and the liner notes by RJ SMITH are amoung the best in album commentary EVER! Smith captures the period, the music, and the modern attraction to it in a stylish and comic essay. Once again the Ultra Lounge gives us everything we want from lounge music and more. So sip some spiked egg nog, light the yule log, and have a swinging holiday season.

Let's toast a,
By FredericWhite "FredericWhite" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails: Part Two (Audio CD)
Both Vol.1 and Pt.2 of the ULTRA LOUNGE CHRISTMAS series consists of a great musical holiday soundtrack for child raised during the cocktail 1960s. Upon listening to both CDs, your memories will transport you back in time to tinsel clustered trees drowned in multi-color lights & wasted uncles with a plastic baby jesus' lying under an artificial tree. This collection of holiday CDs are the perfect tool for entertaining & injecting "kitchy" ambiance into your holiday festivities. It's fun listening to these long forgotten classics dusted off and delivered in with a "LOUNGE" packaging. Both volumes should be added into your collection! 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Yuletide rolicking nostalgia at its best!,
By R. DelParto "Rose2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails: Part Two (Audio CD)
I truly enjoyed listening to the second edition of Ultra Lounge Christmas Cocktails. The first part got me jumpin', but I couldn't get enough with the second. I have heard the original selections on various Capitol Records Christmas compilations, but to hear it in crystal clear digital remastered versions blew me away! I somewhat missed the cracks and jumps from the vinyl grooves, but it was refreshing to hear the clear sounds of Wayne Newton wail away with the track, "Jingle Bell Rock." Another track, "Warm December", as sung by Julie London, is perfect for slow dancing or a quiet moment in front of the fireplace.If you like nostalgia and have an itching for the music your parents used to cha cha to, you'll surely enjoy this record. I just couldn't get enough of old Dino and a host of other artists. Let the organ swing and sway and enjoy this yuletide romp. |
