LOVE ULTRA-LOUNGE!.......2007-05-13

Love this kind of music - can't get enough - have most all of the CDs. Excellent New Jersey-based company with excellent foresight and retro-understanding for the best party and jazz combos. Excellent choice for any kind of day or evening, party or relaxation time.

Music To Watch Girls By is in orbit around my earlobes..........2007-04-01

Bottoms Up in the Ultra-Lounge series sports an awesome collection of nineteen great numbers displaying great artistry, panache and romantic appeal for countless people. Just one listen to this CD proves it.

The CD starts off beautifully with Martin Denny's version of "Fandango." The percussion, horns and tambourines combine to create a terrific musical arrangement. The melody is infectiously catchy and upbeat; you'll want to jump up and dance just after this first track alone! The background chorus adds a heavenly touch to this number; you will be in the mood for love! "Mah-Ná Man-Ná" is a tune you may well recognize as being great lounge music; but even if this is new to you, you are sure to enjoy this number. Again, the drums, percussion and horns carry the bulk of the musical arrangement; Leroy Holmes did a great job with this number. Love that xylophone accent! The strings work well on "Mah-Ná Man-Ná," too.

Billy May then gives us the track entitled "Music To Watch Girls By/Slick." The sassy yet elegant musical arrangement for the horns resembles the sound of the Tijuana Brass; indeed, Herb Alpert helped to write "Slick." The saxophone works beautifully and this track boasts a certain high level of elegance that I rarely hear even in lounge music. Great!

"Guys And Dolls" gives us an example of a lounge music rendition of a classic Broadway show tune; this number has a big band flavor and the piano works wonders, too. Terry Snyder makes his rendition of "Guys And Dolls" a very special one. The horns, guitar, xylophone and drums weave a magic spell that leaves you wanting more. "No Matter What Shape (You're Stomach's In)" shares a track with the famous tune entitled "Tijuana Taxi" as both numbers are performed by the New Classic Singers. No words are sung; but the chorus does an excellent job of working their way into your heart. "Tijuana Taxi" gets the royal treatment as the New Classic Singers and the musicians infuse this with relentless happiness. They bat "Tijuana Taxi" right out of the ballpark.

Martin Denny's lounge music take on "The Donkey Serenade" features the xylophone, and the piano, even the chimes come in to make this arrangement sounding fresh even today. "Baby Elephant Walk" sports a distinct late 1950s/early 1960s beat to it that reflects good judgment; and when it blends into Bill May's rendition of "Java" I was thrilled with the upbeat, catchy melody that remains timeless to this day. Look out for "Baby Elephant Walk/Java!"

Another treat is the two numbers of never before released music by the artist Dr. Samuel Hoffman. "Deep Purple," written by Derose and Parish, gets a heavenly zither treatment; and "S'Wonderful" by the Gershwin brothers follows nicely on this same track.

Although Martin Denny's "Quiet Village (Moog Version)" doesn't quite work for me, the bonus track of "Lisbon Antigua" gets the ultimate Nelson Riddle treatment to end the album very fittingly.

The liner notes include an essay by R. J. Smith, all the song credits, and you even get drink recipes for a rum swizzle and a singapore sling! The art work is nicely done; and Bob Norberg at Capitol Records did a great job of digitally remastering the tracks for this CD.

I highly recommend this CD for lounge music fans and people who enjoy the "mood music" of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Fans of easy listening and exotica music will cherish this CD, too.

Manhattans baby!.......2007-01-11

Love to enjoy this music in the bathtub or sitting around having some Manhattans, very enjoyable. Got it very quickly. Love it!

I love the Ultra-Lounge series........2006-12-10

The sound quality of the Ultra-Lounge series is excellent, even though the songs were recorded mostly in the 50's and 60's. Capitol Records packs each CD with carefully chosen tracks consistent with the theme of the particular volume in the series. Many of the selections that appear here aren't available elsewhere, either because the original album on which the song appeared is out of print, or because the song was issued as a single and never collected in an album. A few 'previously unreleased' tracks also appear here. This series is a wonderful introduction to the music of a by-gone era, and each album includes detailed notes on each track (artist, writers, date recorded, how released, etc.). I heartily recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this type of music.

Topsy-Turvy Lounge.......2005-05-19

This is the most whimsical entry in the Ultra Lounge series, and would fit right in with a lime green and orange lounge filled with bean bags and moon lamps. I'm sure Austin Powers would dig it.

Some of the highlights are:
"Big Noise From Winnetka/Midnight Swim" - horn-laden big band segues into loungy film score from "Sex and The Single Girl",
"Hot Toddy" - swingin' Julie London vocals, "doo-doo-doo",
"Mah-Na, Mah-Na" - harmonica and kazoo,
"Guys and Dolls" - if Tubular Bells were lounge,
"Cute" - organ fits the title,
"Donkey Serenade" - vibraphone over a bass guitar that sounds like hoof beats,
"Baby Elephant Walk/Java" - classic 60s pop,
"Potluck" - scat singing,
"Squatty Roo" - angular "squatty" sound,
"Deep Purple/S' Wonderful" - strange theremin sounds (could have been included on Space Capades),
"Quiet Village" - a classic tiki lounge song revisited on Moog (another song that could have been on Space Capades).

Invigorating!.......2001-04-08

Here Illinois Jacquet is in top form. Consistently musical and inspired, without gratuitous honking and screaming, he fully lives up to his titanic talent. And he is backed by a formidable rhythm section -Barry Harris, Ben Tucker and Alan Dawson. (Why doesn't Amazon list the sidemen?) To me it ranks amont the best tenor sax playing, on par with Hawkins, Young, Rollins and Trane. One of my favorite records.

Alt country fan.......2001-11-30

Uncommonly fine songwriting and vocals - really - sensitive, intelligent, musical! The pedal steel work is exemplary. There are some rhythmical "hiccups" on this self-produced recording. But these folks deserve MUCH positive attention - go Bellyachers!

This Cd makes gives me hope!.......2001-06-01

Man oh man, these gals can sing! What a bunch of truly original songs--reminds me of Emmylou Harris, Lone Justice and Luncinda Williams as well as Elvis, uh Costello! I checked out their website... which is funny as hell and look forward to seeing them live.

From the gut country..........2001-05-27

Beautifully haunting female vocals take you down dusty highways, into loveless homes and smoky bars. Heart-felt lyrics and unique harmonies make this band stand out above the rest of the current country acts. Check them out live if you get the chance!

Great, Fun Trad Ska.......2004-08-16

There have been trad ska releases since 1999, but few have been any good. The lack of output has made ska fans cling to the few new releases like they were god's gift. As such, ordinarily bland and forgettable trad albums, like the latest Chris Murray and Go Jimmy Go, have been held in glorious high esteem. Well, the latest from the Allstonians (their first in six years) is something for the ska fan to really cheer about. It's so vibrant, positive, and enthusiastic that it practically warps you back to the early 90s. The album explodes with the jubilant One Day, and it takes off from there. Even the instrumentals are memorable -- they're fun and energetic and kept under three minutes. With the exception of a too-goofy hidden track and Sean Connery (containing dopey banter behind a decent instrumental -- all Allstonians albums have to have a song like that), all the tunes are danceable and enjoyable. Best vocal tracks are One Day and the bouncy Fear & Loathing; the best instrumentals are Aldo Moro, and Mikey Dee and its dub counterpart Clockwork Dub. But the album is solid from beginning to end, and is, in my opinion, the first truly great trad ska album since the Bluebeats Live & Learn (2000).

pretty decent.......2003-08-28

Ska has gone downhill, a very steep hill. We all knew this would happen after MTV came out with their own variation of the music, but I never thought it would have effected my favorite bands. Over the past few years very few ska cds have been released, and 95% of them have been pretty weak efforts. Easy Big Fella, Skavoovie and the Epitones, and now the Allstonians are the three that stand out the most. All three albums are worth buying to support some great bands and what is left of the scene, but don't expect greatness.

One thing I have to mention is that whoever designs the covers for The Allstonians CDs does a very good job at capturing the essence of their music. The gritty, b&w, smoky lounge feel to their first album. The Allston Beat's rainy somber college town atmosphere. And now Bottom's Up with a super fruity logo and floating band member heads on yellow background. It gives you a happy bouncy feel, which this album certainly does. Though happy/bouncy is very characteristic for ska bands, the Allstonians used to have a very unique sound that was all their own and now they sound like any other mediocre ska band.

I recommend this to true ska fans though, there are a couple gems that are reminiscent of the Allstonians I used to know and love. At least they didn't try to change with the times like the living tragedies that are Lets Go Bowling, The Pietasters, and numerous others.

As for ska bands that are still putting out excellent music, check out the new Slackers. I think they are the only band that hasn't lost inspiration and only get better with time.

In any case, buy this now. Support the Allstonians and maybe they'll release a better album next time.
