Ultra-Lounge Vol. 1 • Mondo Exotica



From Amazon:
This is the one Ultra Lounge CD that sees the most play in my CD rotation. It sets the tone for any activity, be it just staring into the trees through my living room window or driving to work on a day when I don't feel well. I always find it hard to critique Ultra Lounge CDs song by song, since I tend to analyze a lounge CD more by its overall feel than by how one particular song makes me react. But this one is really a great place to start the Ultra Lounge collection, partly because it's the first one in the series and partly because it includes some artists that you should get to know independent of the Ultra Lounge compilations: Martin Denny and Les Baxter. These guys really stand out among lounge artists, and their styles are very unique. Overall the collection, for those not familiar with the "exotica" genre, documents lounge's attempt to "go global". This mostly involved lifting themes and ideas from tropical or island music, and the result was a sub-genre that I find delightful! It is more evocative than a lot of other lounge music and is an essential if you own a pool or give a lot of cocktail parties.

 De Amazon:
Este es el CD de Ultra Lounge que más se reproduce en mi rotación de CD. Establece el tono para cualquier actividad, ya sea mirar a los árboles a través de la ventana de mi sala o conducir al trabajo en un día en el que no me siento bien. Siempre me resulta difícil criticar los CD de Ultra Lounge canción por canción, ya que tiendo a analizar un CD de lounge más por su sensación general que por cómo una canción en particular me hace reaccionar. Pero este es realmente un gran lugar para comenzar la colección de Ultra Lounge, en parte porque es el primero de la serie y en parte porque incluye algunos artistas que deberías conocer independientemente de las compilaciones de Ultra Lounge: Martin Denny y Les Baxter. Estos tipos realmente se destacan entre los artistas de la sala, y sus estilos son muy únicos. En general la colección, para aquellos que no están familiarizados con el género "exótico", documenta el intento de Lounge de "globalizarse". Esto implicaba sobre todo levantar temas e ideas de la música tropical o de las islas, y el resultado fue un subgénero que encuentro encantador! Es más evocador que mucha otra música lounge y es esencial si tienes una piscina o das muchos cócteles.
