CD Reviews

1st Disc Is Fantastic!

Richard Viest | New York, NY | 11/17/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The first disc is lounge music at its best. Superb French style. It's not just the songs themselves but the choice in how they are ordered.

To my mind, the best are: a knockout version of "Call Me" by Nancy Wilson; an instrumental version of "The Look of Love"; and a startlingly original song by Doris Day called "Por Favor".

The overall influence of the songs is Latin and perfect for any party. I went to a favorite bar of mine and asked the bartender to put the CD on the sound system; before long, everyone was asking him where they could buy the CD.

The downside is that the second CD is what I suppose is called "house music" for Hotel Byblos' disco. It's the sort of music that has always bored me to tears -- tribal music, I guess might be another term, i.e., no melody.

So, basically you are paying $32 for one terrific disc and another that is forgettable.

See you in St. Tropez!"
