One of the best of the series

"The is the most wonderful and mindmelting of the lounge series. Maybe because I, late boomer that I am, can remember some of these movie tunes on the radio or belting out of my mom's old Phillips Hi-Fi. Yes, the theme from "A Man and a Women" and "The Shadow of Your Smile" still stirs me in all it kitchy, gooey glory! The Bond and spaghetti western tunes are always energizing and, well, how could you NOT love the theme from the "Flint" movies - "Your Zowie Face"?!?!?"

"Here is a fairly good addition to the ULTRA-LOUNGE series. There are some hidden gems, such as "You Gotta Taste All the Fruit" and a swingin' organ version of "You Only Live Twice," but there are also quite a few forgettable tracks."

"One of the weirdest and most fun entries in the series. 'Seance On A Wet Afternoon' & 'Experiment In Terror' sound like what the Addams family might play at their twist parties; spooky yet very danceable! Other highlights include: a swingin', Tijuana Brass-style version of 'Moon River', funny teen exploitation movie music like 'Hot Rod Rumble' & 'Beat Girl', the smooth as silk Billy May take on 'Girl Talk', the proto-muzak 'Man And A Woman', and one of my personal favorites... Ferrante & Teicher's 'Barbarella'! The strange 'whooshing' voices at the end of the track really take you to outer space!So, if you like the campier and stranger enries in the series, you'll love this one!"
