Ensemble sound was more important than virtuosic, emotive soloing in the West Coast style known as "cool" jazz. Henry Mancini took a number of his cues from that mellow '50s sound when he scored the television crime-drama series, Peter Gunn. This soundtrack CD is full of memorable themes, lush textures, and succinct solos played by big band veterans. Vibraphonist Victor Feldman is heavily featured and his instrument's soft, ringing tone plays a key role here. Occasionally Mancini slips into turning out indistinctive, generic pieces, and soundtrack-composer-to-be John Williams's piano playing can be plinky and stiff. But other than that, this is top-notch TV soundtrack fare, highlighted by the irresistible, proto-surf-rock theme song. Instead of just filling up digital space, the bonus tracks really are a valuable addition. A growling trombone solo on "Walkin' Bass" and Shelly Manne's swinging drum work are just a couple of the reasons why. --Fred Cisterna

The Music from Peter Gunn.......2007-05-17

I didn't think I could find the complete copulation of music. Great Mancini and wonderfully reproduced.

Mancini Music is the best music ever on TV.......2007-03-11

This album is a must if you ever watched Peter Gunn on TV way back when. Each one of these songs are great. Interesting to note that John Williams was the pianist on most of these songs. I always thought it was Mancini hemself. Great album. Get it before it's not made anymore. You cannot have my copy.

The First, The Most.......2006-05-23

This was Henry Mancini's first hit album. Hey, when this was released, the notion of "record album" was still fairly new itself, and yet listen to how well this material stands up today.

Henry Mancini had been a big-bad conductor before this album arrived. He'd issued some "gag" disks and gimick recordings, and this was more than a little bit different for him.

I can remember being 8 years old, listening to this stuff emanating from my big sister's room. It was just so, adult. So sophisticated and cool.

It comes from the 50s-era jazz combos, and yet it is arranged for a big band. Vibes, string bass, muted drums, and then a whole bunch of really polished players. This precise combination was Mancini's own at the time. The sounds were so different and so ear-catching. Yet, Mancini's purpose was limited to bringing a backdrop to a TV detective show.

Does anybody remember the detective TV series starring Craig somebodyorother? No, not really. It's not too high on the nostalgia radar for some reason. But this music, which really launched Mancini's career, was impossible to forget.

Listen carefully..........2005-09-30

Okay, so everyone already knows that "Peter Gunn" is one of the great movie (TV) themes of all time, the essence of bad-ass before the term bad-ass was fit to print.
But next time you hear a crappy recording from the 60's or early 70's on CD, and someone tries to tell you they just didn't have the recording technology in those days, give a listen to what Henry Mancini did in a soundstage almost 50 years ago.

There have been a number of great covers, including the Blues Brothers, but nobody actually improves on Mancini's classic.

The Essence of Cool.......2005-08-23

This groundbreaking soundtrack to a show that defined what "cool" was changed the face of television forever. There have been some great TV themes over the past few decades, but this evocative Mancini score set the bar before the bar even existed.

Some excellent liner notes relate the story all Peter Gunn and Mancini fans know well. Henry Mancini had been kicking around Universal for six years. Most of his years there were a study in obscurity, the one exception being his scoring of "Touch of Evil" for Orson Welles. So the studio gave him his two week walking papers. Mancini, being Mancini, decided on one of his last days there to get a free haircut at the studio barber shop. He and the guy next to him got to chatting and hit it off. They had a lot in common. So that newly promoted director, Blake Edwards, says to Mancini, "Hey, how would you like to do this television show for me? It's called "Peter Gunn."

What followed was decades of film magic, and a collaboration that was the stuff dreams, and great films, were made of. Mancini's West Coast Jazz score for Peter Gunn was his defining moment. It is a masterpiece of mood and atmosphere and its orchestral jazz score would have an impact for decades to come. When listening to this, you feel like Peter Gunn. From the famous opening salvo of music, Peter Gunn, both the show and Mancini's score, were, and still are, the essence of cool.

You get sixteen wonderful tracks on this double Grammy winner as you cruise along with the hip detective, the sounds of the most innovative score ever written for television in the background.

Sometimes we're walking in a room and smell the cordite still fresh and lingering, and we better be careful (Fallout).

Other times we're just hanging out with an old pal, trying to figure a way out of this jam (Session at Pete's Pad).

Sometimes we're headed to our favorite jazz club, "Mother's," for a night out with our girlfriend Edie (The Brothers Go to Mother's).

There are also those times, late at night, when things are all wrapped up, and Mother herself hands us the keys so we and Edie can make a little time for romance (Dreamsville).

Mancini would make a career out of ambiance, and Peter Gunn was the impetus for all that was to come. This is an absolute must have for any serious collector. The best thing about picking this one up, aside from the great music, is that somehow, just by owning it, we are just a little bit cooler.

I just can't resist the Buddha Lounge compilations - while they are both soothing and engaging, they also provide a nice little spiritual lift. Number V is not the best in the series, but it certainly keeps the series going in fine style.

A taste of the best! .......2007-03-06

I was amazed at the variety of sounds this CD has to offer. From Brazil to Africa there is a taste of the best music from around the globe. The songs were well chosen and created a down-tempo beat with an uplifting vibe through the entire album. The vocals and rhythms will seduce you into a world of relaxation. This album is the fifth in the Buddha Lounge series by Sequoia Records and I highly recommend any of the previous albums if you like this one. Buy this CD!!

Cool Chill Exotic Whispery Rhythm.......2006-10-26

Sensual and soothing, yet rhythmical while relaxing, these grooves resonate with planetary harmony. The guitar is magical, lyrical. The vocals transport the listener beyond the here. Abandon cares, abandon thoughts, and soar.

Another Chill-out classic!!!.......2006-09-23

Another splendidly chill release from the Sequoia Groove label. There are some really exceptional tracks here that should not be missed. Take a listen to the samples for Jens Gad's "El Momento", TYA's "Deep Blue", Hands Upon Black Earth's "The Star & The Snake" (my favorite!) and MTC's "Shining" for some sensuously sweet examples of the latest in downtempo chillout/lounge bliss.

Smooth, sensous, soothing, and sultry. A couple of cuts a little on the "loungy" side but overall this is an excellent CD that delivers exactly what you would expect from the title. The quality of this stuff is definitely a cut above a lot of the other budda-lounge wannabes.

A maverick New Age/Eastern hybrid classic!.......2005-03-25

I am absolutely taken into the beauty and harmony that is the album "Hotel Tara". I first heard this at an independent CD store recently and after finding out who it was, I instantly bought the new album and I am proud of my choice of buying it. This album reminds me very strongly of the Earthtone collection series from years ago. After the apparent and unfortunate demise of the Earthtone label, Sequoia Records seems to have taken the torch and "Hotel Tara" is a powerful CD. "Apollo 13" is a highly eclectic track that incorporates voice effects of a NASA space mission with a gorgeous jazz/New Age groove. "Govinda Hari" is an electrifying song with haunting Eastern Indian voices and a very entrancing melody. This is such a wonderful CD and I highly recommend this.

Blissful Eastern Chill.......2005-03-10

Nothing less than superb ! This new titles from Sequoia Groove is a blissful voyage into the very best of Eastern influenced downtempo chill-out music. A provacative follow up to Sequoia's Buddha Lounge series. This album really transports the listener into some very exoctic and sensuous musical landscapes. I especially love the Jaya Lakshmi track "Govinda Hari" and "Apollo 13" by Joe Werineck which incorporates actual original recordings from the space mission into a lushly textured background of slow and sultry electonica. This is a great addition to any downtempo musical collection. If you like, Buddha Bar or Hotel De Costa you will love Hotel Tara.

The Ultimate Music for Sacred Lovers.......2005-02-10

David & Steve Gordon have done it again ! Just when you thought it could'nt get any better, these musical visionaries deepen the mix even further. Hotel Tara bills itself as "The Intimate Side of Buddha Lounge" and it certainly delivers on that promise. This is an exotic and enticing blend of traditional Eastern music with the very best that Western downtempo-electronica has to offer, featuring an superlative assortment of the very best Sequoia artists and some absolutely alluring new artists. Likely the most noteable being the lead track "L'Heure Verte/The Green Hour"from Artemisia, the new Steve Gordon solo project with it's distinctive tabla beat, exquisite tamboura, sensuous guitar and luminous vocals provided by Jaya Lakshmi whose "Govinda Hari" also graces the album. David Gordon's new solo track "Floating" is also fantastic, melding chill-out and smooth jazz effortlessly into this delightfully transcendent tune. My wife and I have now found our new favorite CD for our intimate encounters and Tantra sessions. These Sequoia Groove titles just keep getting better and better and this one is perfect suited for the the Sacred Lover. Keep them coming. Absolutely delightful.

An excellent compilation to do just about anything while listening!.......2006-09-15

This album is now a favorite of mine. The Gordon Brothers have done it again! When they say the rhythms are entrancing, they forgot to mention infectious. You get grooving in that other world dimension of their musical tasty treats, and it leaves you wanting to go back for more and play it again. There are so many great tracks on this album that I could go into each one, but my favorites have to be the following. Shears from Scar by Achillea, which echoes a distant place and time filling the room with the cry of sea birds, a steady beat, and Horlych's beautifully bequeathing voice recalling the tale of an ancient Viking burial find and the woman for whom once was. Next, The Temple by Marcator, which brings a temporal melody with temple bells, ancient instruments and whispered prayers. The Gordon Brothers have a catchy remix in Hunab Ku Transmitter, where they have woven together a combination of space twang, electric guitar, and percussion with their inspired chanting, to bring forth a transmission of a time and place of the past to the present. I really liked Steve's track, Vermillion Passage. The xylophone, electric guitar and a solid drum beat build to a "striding on down the by-way of life" feel, then blazes a musical trail of red dust as it goes on down the road. My most favorite track is Samsara by Win Meyerson. Win's marvelous piano glides with the soaring violin and vocals of Lili Haydn, in a cool samba with Middle-eastern riffs. The blend is a soaring right-on musical gift. The somba is impossible to not at least sway through, and you want to anyway, because this track is so beautiful. I enjoyed Hotel Tara #1, but #2 soars ahead of it. An excellent compilation to do just about anything while listening!

I love Hotel Tara 2.......2006-07-25

Lovely mix of world beat and electronica.......2005-10-16

This album is a mixture of world beat including asian, indian and middle eastern rhythms and melodies, with an electronica feel. It is in the same vein, but softer than Dum Dum Project's mix of indian chants. I highly recommend it for meditation or yoga, but also just to relax while studying for a test or having to deal with any stressor. It is not sticky sweet, or cloyingly annoy as something like Enya (not all songs, but some) can be...You won't go use this for aerobics or running, so if you are looking for more up beat electronica with world sounds you should try the new Reboot- Music for the next generation from Om Records. Benefits from both CDs also go to charity, so that's bonus. For what this music is intended, i.e. lounge type chill with a world beat influence, it does an excellent job, and I highly recommend it.

Dept. store Music.......2005-07-07

This album is horrid, not genuine and drones on and on. Sorry I bought it. Prozac on a CD. A new drink coaster.

I used this CD for my Yoga class last week and loved it. I want to let you know that this is the same CD that Yoga Fit sells as Zen Cafe - Dessert. At least this way you can listen to a sample before buying. It flows wonderfully and is a joy to listen to. I highly recommened it for anyone wanting to chill or use it for teaching yoga classes.

Step Into The Lounge.......2004-06-19

Ancient wisdom, calmness, gentleness, dignity, but also exotic and mysterious magic, strange beauty - these are the notions which the Buddhist culture evokes in our minds - no matter what culture or religion we stem from ourselves.
All these qualities are dealt with in the 14 tracks from ambient artists from Europe and the US assembled on this compilation. The DJ has selected them with knowing care and exquisite taste. Here modern western sounds meet with themes and topics from ancient oriental and occidental cultures.

Gentle but subtly effective trance grooves, moody haunting melodies, and soothing harmonies relax the listener and nurture his mind,soul and body in a easy and entertaining way.

Buddha Lounge 3 is out of the world !.......2004-05-12

I just recently got my hands on the latest installment of Sequoia Groove's Buddha Lounge series and it is even better than the previous releases in the series. Absolutely phenomenal ! It has many of my favorite artists along side some fantastic new European artists that I continue to discover through this series. I particulary enjoyed and recommend Nasser Kilada's sensuous middle-eastern number "Tarnima" , Alcyone's up-beat "Velvet Sutra, and David Gordon's cool and fluid "Bodhisattvas" which is a real departure from what I have heard from him in the past.

Buddha-Lounge.......2005-02-18

As bland as white bread. It is a misrepresentation to link this series of 3 CDs in any way to the Buddha Bar CDs or the chillout music category in general. It could play in the background without anyone ever raising their head or moving their body. If your thing is New Age music this might be for you. Everyone else is forewarned.

The Buddha-Lounge is a cosmic destination !.......2002-10-15

I bought this CD on-line initially thinking it was exclusively a Daivd & Steve Gordon title. I love their native influenced world music titles. Imagine my surprise and elation when I found out that not only did this CD contain a great track form the Gordon's but also 12 other tracks from various established and new Sequoia artists including contemporary Celtic artist Gary Stadler with amazing vocalist Stephannie and the magical music artistry of Zingaia. I was completely blown away not only by how each track of this CD is perfectly sequenced with the others but the amazing array of world -beat sounds from some incredible new artists I've never heard of before. In particular tracks #3 "Abo Daylight" from Althea W. and track #12 "Glass from Jasper" by Roedelius were extremely lush and stirring tracks. The entire CD is very upbeat and uplifting while still remaining soothing and relaxing. I find it to be great ambient music for just relaxing around the house or dancing joyously with my partner. An extremely beautiful mix of musical artists and a great CD !

BUDDAH LOUNGE - DAVID & STEVE GORDON.......2002-10-14

"When music transcends me to a place that is magical, I truly succumb to it. I am a mother of 3 young teenagers and when I want to relax, I immediately listen to Buddha Lounge. This title has virtual lounge rhythms and techno beats that has relaxing and "smooth" sounds. It is modern mellow music integrated together. Believe me, after a very hectic day, I feel rejuvenated and revitalized after I turn my cd on to Buddah Lounge! I love it!" Jeanne/Fullerton, California

The Buddha-Lounge is the Place to Be !.......2002-10-08

This is one of the most groovin' world beat lounge CD's I've ever laid my ears on. Each track is perfectly situated into the overall mix of these 13 tracks from a variety of hot new European artists including Roedelius, Alquima, Marcator, Peter Merenger and others as well as the best new tracks from top selling Sequoia artists including David & Steve Gordon, Gary Stadler with amazing new celtic singing sensation Stephannie and a hot new track from Zingaia. The overall effect of this dancable world-beat title absolutley is hypnotic. It's great to slip on the headphones and drift into it or as ambient for your next smart-drink cocktail party. Each track expertly blends a spiritual vibe with techo world-beat grooves to produce a consciousness exhalting and joyful musical celebration. The Buddha-Lounge really is the place to be !

Buddha Lounge Vol 4.......2007-01-15

Good chill tracks. I have all the other Buddha lounge CDs as well as Arabic Lounge, whe something works stick with it. Ilike this CD for warm up, Yoga, Pilates, stretching. Also good to chill to very calming rythems.

Chillin' With The Buddha.......2006-10-16

This is an interesting one, that is sort of outside my normal frame of reference. My girlfriend and I were in a "new-agey" store while on a road trip, and we were both sort of intrigued in the music that was playing, which turned out to be this album. I would consider this disc a combination of two genres of music which I am actually rather unfamiliar with-techno and world music. It actually comes together quite well; most of the selections on this compilation are somewhat obscure(to me, anyway) european trance or house DJs (again, I'm going to have to cite unfamiliarity with the current "hip" slang on this subject(*snicker*)which incorporate world music and chanting (in Arabic?) into undeniably modern drum beats and synth programming. There is also a fair amount of briefly-phrased but very melodic electric guitar reminiscent of Buckethead's "Electric Tears" or "Colma" albums...quite a soothing combination, although I could have done without one track, which is sung in French. Excellent music for just relaxing with friends or a glass of wine.

Keep it up Gordon Brothers, your Buddha series is perfect!.......2006-03-09

I was so pleased to see this top compilation series continue with even more great selections. Helen Horlyck's atmospheric vocals and J. Gad of Enigma fame on their track Cape Porcupine, is a great way to introduce this excellent collection of mood music. TYA shares an exotic atmosphere on Why. One And Twain by Ginkgo Garden is spatial and measured as Mueller-Key adds a melodic story. Touche' by TAU adds an inspired French groove. Samah livens up the grouping with Kilada's Arabic/Afro beat & vocals. Bhajya Sahita by Hands Upon the Black Earth has gentle vocals by Renee Petry along with a light-hearted beat by Bobby Cochran. The Gordon Brothers added one of my favorite tracks of theirs, with a club-remix of Empowered, giving a North American contemporary beat; as well with Descent to the Lowerworld, where the brothers always take me on a rewarding venture into deep Shamanic landscapes. Mangoville by David Gordon brings a gentle and instrumental track, which lends a joyful, lazy summer-like feel. With Northern Lights by Stella Maris, this obviously multi-talented group demonstrates their special brand of mystery-pop in both their vocals and melodies. The entrancing American group, the Moontrane Conductors, brings a wide multiplicity of soothing sounds with their In for the Night. Jaya Lakshmi & Deva Priyo hook up to weave together a Sanskrit chant into a rhythmic sway with a contemporary reward in Hamana Nale. And last but not least, Abraham Schenk wields a way among the electric in Sky Walk, which graces the end of this entrancing and soothing album. All together, this album has provided me with many soothing hours of aural enjoyment, and served as easy background music, when I have entertained friends. Keep it up Gordon Brothers, your Buddha series is perfect!

World Class Chill-out.......2006-03-06

Each Buddha-Lounge just keeps getting better. While I love them all, number four is by far my fav! It opens with a track from ACHILLEA which is the new project from Jens Gad, co-producer and guitarist from ENIGMA, then continues with fantastic tracks from many top European artists such as Tya, Stella Maris and gems from underground US beatmasters such as The Moontrane Conductors and Hands Upon Black Earth plus world artists such as renowned Egyptian vocalist Nassar Kilada. The level of quality on this set is among the highest out there. I love putting this on for late night rendezvous!

ummm.....wallpaper music .......2006-03-04

not sure what this volume 4 is trying to achieve, but me thinks that if you take all 4 volumes and actually pick through the songs you might salvage one decent record...ughhhhh listen at your own risk!

Buddha Bar Specilist,.......2007-04-08

A beautiful collection of smooth rythms
a must for lounge
Check out opera to relax in this collection they have great stuff on cd

Hypnotic and soaring.......2007-04-03

As with all the other Budda Lounge CDs, this is an awesome mix of hypnotic and relaxing music. Unlike some music that's relaxing because it is lifeless, this is relaxing because it allows the mind and spirit to soar and drift in and out of reality. Beautiful.

not really "lounge" per se.......2007-03-15

This is a great new age, instrumental music disc but not really "lounge" per se according to the popular definition set by such things as Hotel Costes, Paris Lounge or Buddha Bar series.

FYI.

what was I thinking?.......2005-12-27

With so much instrumentation in global music, why laaaaaaaaay on that synthesizer? Track 10 was the only cut worth anything.

Not the Buddha Bar Series.......2005-03-03

Nice background music, but definitely NOT the Buddha Bar experience.

Average customer rating: Great grooves Laid back, chilled out, sexy beats

Great grooves.......2006-03-10

This CD has a great compilation of Eastern grooves with some harder beats - great for yoga, dinner music, or just taking it easy.

Laid back, chilled out, sexy beats.......2005-08-05

You know how it is when you go to a lounge with dark, mood lights and a sexy vibe? You know that music in the background that makes you feel alternately sultry, laid back, cool and turned-on?

That's this CD set. Perfect for lounges, bars, basement parties and make-out sessions.
