[.ca] V14 Bossa Novaville Ultra-Lou

Martini Music For Glenn Beck Fans:
Meditation (Meditacáo) by Laurindo Almeida And The Bossa Nova All Stars is reason enough alone to buy this. And I think you know what I'm sayin'

The best Ultra Lounge CD:
This is my pick as the best Ultra Lounge CD. Every song is so silky, soft, and velvety smooth. It's the type of CD you can put on eternal repeat and never get tired of it. Yes, it's really that good.

Solid entry in the Ultra Lounge oeuvre!:
This is one of the more danceable collections in the Ultra Lounge series. It makes some of the best music I've ever heard for housecleaning or other mundane tasks--put it on and suddenly you feel like it's a hot summer day in a steamy South American city. It also awakens in me a strange desire to play this music, loudly, while dancing in the spray from a broken fire hydrant. As far as lounge music goes, this is fairly upbeat stuff. It's not so conducive to chilling as some of the other volumes in this series; in fact, I dare anyone to keep still while it's playing. This is a solid buy, and a great introduction to the bossa nove style of music.

One of the best in the "Ultra Lounge" series:
This is by far one of the best in the ultra hip, ultra cool, "Ultra Lounge" series. For those of you who are new to the "Ultra Lounge" experience, thsi CD will take you back in time to the 1960's lounge era. This CD in particular has a very relaxing feel to it and although there are some songs that may sound a little cheezy compared to the true authentic bossa nova music from the pioneers like João & Astrud Gilberto or Antonio Carlos Jobim, it still delivers a good presentation of bossa nova inspired lounge songs. But some of the artists on this CD, such as Walter Wanderley, are in fact Brazilian. Finally, for those of you who are already familiar with the "Ultra Lounge" series, this is definitely one of the best in the entire series.

A worthy addition to any serious lounge collection.:
I needed a few CD's to play at a dinner party. Nothing too intrusive or overwhelming, but just light enough to set the right mood. This CD was the perfect choice. Several of my guests asked exactly where I got it and who the artists were. As the evening progressed the music set a casual relaxed mood. On several tracks my guests even got up and danced! A perfect CD for any casual occasion.
