A Tribute To Ultra-Lounge
I had not heard about this release at all until recently, and there was scant information available about it online. I had to buy it to learn more, and I am happy that I did. This is a fun travel themed compilation that draws from Capitol's vast vaults of 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's jazz and pop. I can tell that it is trying to pay tribute to the amazing Ultra-Lounge series that Capitol put out in the mid to late 1990's, using fun imagery associated with that stretch of history (even using the words "Wild", "Cool", and "Swingin'" on the packaging, arguably the most popular Ultra-Lounge compilations). Where this set is lacking can really be attributed to how little context it provides regarding why these specific songs were chosen for the release (other than the obvious "mentions a location" criteria). If they hired someone like RJ Smith (of Ultra-Lounge fame) to provide some written context for this compilation in the form of liner notes, that would have been a major plus. The other negative I have to say about this set is how it's spread across three discs. There's just about 1 hour and 43 minutes of total audio total on this compilation, and there is only about 35 minutes present on each disc. I get that their idea was to segment the tracks based on a certain descriptor ("Swingin'", "Wild", and "Swell"), but I think that they could have found a few more tracks to put on each disc to justify spreading it across three discs instead of just two. With a few changes like that, I believe that this set could have been substantially improved. But then again, that's just me nitpicking on a decades old compilation. I don't know what prompted this set to be released, but it doesn't seem that it ended up being too popular due to how this whole set can currently be bought for under $15. If you're a fan of these genres of music and a fan of the Ultra-Lounge series, pick this up if you can find it cheap.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
