Album Details

Digitally Remastered Double Anthology of the Pop and Soundtrack Composer from the 50's and 60's. Perhaps his Best Counterpart of Today Would Be John Williams. A Film Maker Could Always Rely on Mancini to Deliver a Composition that Hit the Mark for a Film and Conveyed Exactly What was Required and More. He also Filled the Role of an American Mantovani, Recording 'muzak' Versions of Popular Hits. He was Handsome, Personable, but Most of All, Well Respected for his Craft.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars not enough Galway.......2003-10-02

There are only four songs with James Galway. The way this recording is presented is misleading and buyers should be aware that this is NOT a joint effort between these two great artists.. I was totally disappointed. I think Henry Mancini is wonderful but was expecting to hear a collaboration. So if you're looking for flute music this isn't it. However it's a great collecton of Henry Mancini's work.

5 out of 5 stars Too Good to Last.......2000-03-03

I heard this on PBS. Galway and Mancini may be two of the most talented musicians of our century. Galway for his complete mastery of the flute and Mancini for his ability to arrange , produce and in this instance direct the orchestra while Galway performs. They do several duets of a comical nature as well. This is important because it is one of Mancini's last efforts prior to his unfortunate passing.

I heard Sunshine by Antoinque on a local collage radio station
on my way to work. Fell in love with the song the first time I
heard it. The song is different from a lot mainstream gospel.
The song is smooth & uplifting. This CD is a must have.

A wonderful variation of artists from neo-gospel to neo-funk who all have totally original sounds. I love the eclectic mix and it is an extreme listening pleasure from begining to end.

    4 out of 5 stars Nice Touch!.......2007-05-26

    Midnight Lounge is unquestionably a more sophisticated JW with a sound played easily anywhere. The tracks are a smooth blend of jazz, R&B, and house boasting sensual melodies sure to please many of the fans.

    A great choice; you won't be disappointed.

    5 out of 5 stars Tres Magnifique.......2006-11-02

    What a marvelous achievement. My unexpected encounter with this album has been one of my great musical pleasures of 2006. The synthesis Watley achieves here is simultaneously thoughtful, relaxed, pleasant, warm, and yes, timeless. This record is THAT good.

    Midnight Lounge, indeed. This is sophisticated modern music that not only showcases Watley well, but many of her influences too. Los Angeles never sounded so good. And Watley's iconic historical knowledge of thirty years of dance/R&B music is not just put to good use here, but fulfills much of the emotional promise of that music for so many of us. Hhhhhhmm, so good!

    5 out of 5 stars Jody's 'Midnight' Tonic.......2006-08-21

    Fans of downtempo electronica would do well to pick this album up. 'Midnight Lounge' takes the beats of house, trip-hop, breakbeat and drum-and-bass and blends them with the warm melodies and arrangements of jazzy soul-pop. Producers Dave Warren, Masters At Work, and Rodney Lee (who does the bulk of the album) never allow the rhythms to overwhelm--they're just one part of the cozy soundscapes. And floating above it all is Jody Watley's smokey, velvety voice, which has never sounded better.

    The album's theme seems to be about finding that positive "chill" place, whether literal (the title track) or within one's self ("The Essence"). Simple enough, but it also leads to some surprisingly reflective moments like the smoldering drum-and-bass track, "More." When she asks plaintively "Is the love gone?/Cause things have changed," she could be addressing a distant lover, but the line could also be applied to the record-buying public who lost track of her after her first two albums.

    'Midnight Lounge' reaches it's emotional peak with a poignant cover of Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up." Dave Warren concocts a moody swirl of weeping synths and gently pulsing beats to compliment Watley's nuanced, been-through-it-all vocals. It's the album's melancholically resonant moment.

    For the most part, though, 'Midnight Lounge' tends to look at the bright side of things. "Skin" embraces a sultry irony: it's lyrics talk about "searching for a kind of love that goes beyond the beautiful" but the creamy arrangement achieves the melt-in-your-mouth sensuality of Sade's 'Love Deluxe'-era. Friendships have ended in "Photographs," but Jody's only "thinking 'bout the good times." She says "everybody needs someone to love, someone to care" (the cushiony,Naked Music-esque "Whenever"), even the people who "cast shadows, trying to bring you down" in "Clouds." And the 8-minute-plus jazz-house remix of "Saturday Night Experience," courtesy of Ron Trent, is a blissed-out ode to "just groovin'" on a romantic Saturday night.

    'Midnight Lounge' makes the perfect soundtrack to a night at your house with a few friends, conversation, cocktails and good times

    5 out of 5 stars Midnight lounge is addictive.......2006-04-07

    I just thought about the Jody Watley marathon I had today while spring cleaning. I went from the first CD Jody Watley upstairs to Intimacy, which I just got last week to finally replace my tape. Then, I blasted some Affairs Of The Heart and Larger than Life downstairs. Midnight Lounge has been in heavy rotation since 2002, plus last week. Your music has a feel good quality to it, and bring back good vibes and memories. I mentioned in a previous email on how my friend damaged her Midnight Lounge last year, and panicked when she couldn't find it in her town. Your music never gets old, which is a sign of great writing. Besides, people tend to say that Jody haven't gotten the recognition deserved. Yet, those that hear her older stuff for the first time are pleasantly surprised. Many flocked to the new trends after "Larger Than Life" her sophomore release. I let a few co-workers hear midnight lounge in 2004 RI and 2005 NC. They all had great responses. One even thought it was Sade. Again, they all wanted to add it to their collection. We played it at one of many parties around 2003, and family from out of town responded by popping their fingers and swaying to the great sounds. They were feeling it!!! Plus, they knew who it was right away. Some of the best music out there is not included among the seven or so songs rotated on radio day after day. We are being deprived of some of the best songs that tell a great story, and can even add some wisdom to our lives. This CD does just that. I am so glad a co-worker alerted me that Midnight Lounge was in the Import section at Tower Records 2002!!! Miss Watley thanks for continually surprising us CD after CD. Now it's time to make us over with the upcoming release "The Makeover" this spring 2006.

      4 out of 5 stars Soul appetizer.......2006-06-17

      First off, this review isn't for the entire three-disc collection of Soul Lounge; it's only for disc one. Reason being, my local library (as well as various media outlets) had each disc sold separately, while on Amazon they're NOT separate (well, Disc 1 isn't, anyway). So I guess we'll have to make do.

      I had never even heard of ANY Soul Lounge compilation, but I came across Disc One and picked it up. Actually, this is more of a sampler than a compilation because all the songs on here have been released already. But the disc features many overlooked and sometimes obscure artists (especially Beverlei Brown, who hasn't had even one album released in the U.S.), thus perhaps making the songs sound new to folks.

      Highlights include Angela Johnson's "Call", Rahsaan Patterson's "If" and Maysa's "Compliments". Another good song is "Honeychild", which is performed by the very underrated Rosie Gaines (you should remember her from Prince's "Diamonds and Pearls"). I also like "Something Special" by Donna Gardier, who kind of sounds like D'Angelo's female counterpart.

      The only negative things I really have to say about this album is that on "Stone Cold Heart", one of the ladies of Incognito is going a little overboard with her adlibbing at the end of the song. And I really couldn't get into Raphael Saadiq's "Detroit Girl" at all. Another thing I noticed is that this album was released last year and it supposedly compiles some great music from the four years leading up to that point, but Hil St Soul's "For Your Love" is from 1999, and Beverley Knight's "Cast All Your Cares" is from 1995. Oh, well; none of those things should keep you from propping your feet up and relaxing in this soul lounge.

      Amazon sometimes come through in a big way by getting a hold of music I can't seem to get any other way. But asking me to submit a review of a CD that I've been trying to get a hold of for years now and have not yet received comes across as a big tease! If you guys at Amazon will take a look at my Aug. 3 2006 order, you'll see that Rhythm Lounge, Vol. 2 is still scheduled to be delivered Nov. 16-30, 2006 (estimate). If you can get me that CD in this time-frame I'll be so happy I'll forget all about this tease! See what you can do.

      Thanx, Lionel

      P.S: I do hope you guys haven't charged me for this CD. Let me know!

        Another great compilation from the geniuses at Large. So many talented house artists show their diversity on this album in the form of soulful nu jazz. This would be the perfect CD to take with you on a tropical beach vacation. A must have for your CD collection!
