5 out of 5 stars Beat-licious and Bold...!.......2006-02-08

Take smart, well-timed beats and some sexy vocals and you get one of the best compliation Lounge CD's I have ever heard. No joke!

Peter Malik feat. Norah Jones opens with 'NY City', filled with smooth drums and organs. Norah Jones smooth voice carries the beat to the end. The biggest surprise was Aya's 'Uptown'. A classy, almost early '90's sounding beat. Her sexy voice blends this into a beautiful and complex song. Metro Area's 'Strut' sounds as if Kashif was at the helm: Big moog sounds accompanied by drums - nice! Other bests are Tourtured Soul's 'I might do something wrong', Blue Six's 'Music and Wine', and Soldiers of Twilight 'City Life' (Nice song!!!).

This CD come highly recommnded, It will not dissappoint!

Album Description

Percy Faith was the master of distilling the best of melodies and in this collection from 1958, Percy rescues us from the images that Victor Herbert melodies tend to evoke - the operetta, and the "erstwhile lady singing (belting out?) Herbert tunes at the piano." With this in mind, Percy's early stereo spectacular brings us the best of the Victor Herbert tunes - with the grand voice of the orchestra to bring out the beauty of each song - twenty-three Victor Herbert songs in this collection! (Bill Halvorsen)

Album Description

Full Title - The Columbia Album Of Victor Herbert/And His Orchestra. Pianist Percy Faith, a pioneer of the Easy Listening genre, had a successful and lengthy career as the in-house conductor and arranger for Columbia Records. Faith was renowned for his musical interpretations of Broadway and motion picture music. These 2 albums on 1 CD were originally released in 1958. 23 tracks. 2003 Collectables reissue.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Inauthentic Herbert/authentic Percy Faith.......2006-09-03

If you love the Percy Faith orchestral style, you will certainly
enjoy this typical example. The disc is full and the selections are numerous and varied, including characteristic pieces, operetta
excerpts, and even a couple of excerpts from one of Herbert's
grand operas.
BUT - if you're primarily interested in the music of Victor Herbert, then the advice has to be to avoid this seemingly tempting item. The combination of anachronistic arrangements, altered harmonies, and orchestrations foreign to anything Herbert would have imagined or countenanced ends by falsifying the charm and character of Herbert's music. In essence it's more like "1950's Fantasies Loosely Based on Certain Herbert Themes."

1 out of 5 stars disappointment.......2006-08-14

This is a very poor rendering of the music of Victor Herbert. I am very disappointed in it and would not have ordered it if I realized that there were no vocals.

5 out of 5 stars "music giants come together ~ Herbert & Faith".......2004-02-09

Now we have something that only Percy Faith could tackle "The Columbia Album of Victor Herbert", composer Victor Herbert has all the elements that Mr. Faith was looking for, and what a workout the award winning Percy Faith Orchestra has in store for them, look at the result...pure satisfaction and then some ~ "TOYLAND" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, Percy's arrangement comes from the heart and weaves a magic spell over the listener ~ "MARCH OF THE TOYS", once again the signature arrangement comes to the surface of each cue that Mr. Faith records, very stimulating performance ~ listen to this cue and visualize the toys coming to life ~ "A KISS IN THE DARK" and "KISS ME AGAIN", once again the magic prevails with soft and sweeping strings, The Percy Faith Touch comes to the forefront ~ and Percy was always there to record the music whenever the time presented itself, and it is here and now.

Two great giants in the music world Victor Herbert (1859-1924) and Percy Faith (1908-1976), brought together by Columbia Records and originally released in 1958 (C2S-801), received wonderful reviews from the music critics. This is an historic event for Faith fans, a double LP that has all the ingredients is now released on one single compact disc ~ with all the sonic clarity you could ask for.

Great job to all who were involved in bringing this to listeners of fine music ~ very impressive with all original liner notes and recording cues intact. This has to be in the top five of Faith's re-issues, keep them coming, cause there is an audience out there crying and craving more of the same...gotta love it!

Total Time: 73:46 on 23 Tracks ~ Collectables 7565 ~ (9/16/2003)

5 out of 5 stars Herbert in good hands with Faith renditions.......2003-10-08

Percy Faith, the easy listening music arranger and conductor, pays homage to composer Victor Herbert (1859-1924) and in doing so offers us a remarkable recording of Herbert's oft-forgotten music. Faith interprets Herbert's music with his signature lush strings and sound orchestral arrangements that provide a light buoyancy to the compositions. Especially good are Indian Summer, Spanish Serenade and Gypsy Love Song. But all tracks are impressive and offer good testimony to Herbert's compositions and Faith's tuneful arranging. This is one of the better Faith re-releases from Collectables to date.

5 out of 5 stars Percy Faith-Columbia Album Of Victor Herbert.......2003-09-18

This is one of Percy Faith's most beautiful albums and it is finally on cd.Most of this album is beautiful and lush but there is a few songs that are brassy,2 Christmas songs and 1 Semi classical song.Here is the song list.

The Columbia Album Of Victor Herbert-1958(Liner Notes Included)
1)Ah Sweet Mystery Of Life-Lush
2)Spanish Life-Brassy
3)Dream Girl-Lush
4)Because Your You're You-Lush
5)Toyland-Lush Christmas This is the most beautiful version of toyland I have ever heard although Johnny Mathis has a pretty good version too.You should play Percy's version during the Christmas season off of this cd.
6)March Of The Toys-Brassy Christmas with Drums interspursed.Percy's version of this song is great and should also get a lot of play during the holiday season.
7)Gypsy Love Song and Romany Life-Semi Classical
8)A Kiss In The Dark-Lush
9)I Want What I Want When I Want It-Brassy
10)When You're Away-Lush
11)Cuban Love Song-Light Strings
12)Indian Summer-Lush
13)Every Day Is Ladies Day With Me-Brassy
14)Kiss Me Again-Lush
15)Habanera-Brassy
16)To The Land Of My Own Romance-Lush
17)Dagger Dance-Brassy
18)Italian Street Song-Brassy
19)Sweethearts-Lush
20)Yesterthoughts-Lush
21)Streets Of New York-Lush
22)I'm Falling In Love With Someone-Light Strings
23)Thine Alone-Lush

All 23 Songs are just with orchestra and no chrous.Also the two Christmas Songs on this album are not available on his other 3 Christmas albums only here.You may also like Percy Faith's Columbia Album of George Gershwin if it's still available,if it's not Collectibles will probebly be reissiuing it eventually.If you like beautiful music this album must be in your collection.Doubtless a lot of these songs probebly got played on beautiful music stations before beautiful music died out on the radio.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-02-23

New York Lounge like the Paris Lounge series on the Wagram record label offers a "Day" and "Night" side. Although the "Day" side is full of songs you may have heard a million times already on other compilation CDs, it's the "Night" side disc that shines with some serious dance floor tracks from Metro Area, Kevin Yost, Derrick Carter and a host of virtual unknowns--at least to me, anyway. Ranging from jazz, hiphop, funk, soul and house, New York Lounge has something for everybody. If you half way dig the Paris Lounge series, I suggest you check this one out!

5 out of 5 stars Worth twenty times the price.......2003-03-30

SI*SE's "Slip Away" (song 3 on CD 1) is alone worth ten or more times the price of this set. When it seems every idea for a love song must have been used up, here's one that is brand new, exquisitely sung, richly arranged, and hauntingly beautiful in concept. If Projection's fabulous "Backbone" were not the very next song, I doubt I would ever have continued through the rest of the set. But the rewards keep coming...with known entities like Thievery Corp, Nuspirit Helsinki, and Kevin Yost, along with a dozen or more excellent discoveries. You will listen to this set again and again without tiring. And you will join me impatiently waiting for SI*SE to release her own album.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars was on my wish list, bought it in a Virgin Megastore.......2007-06-23

It's great music with great artists. Notable tracks that I didn't have on CD yet were 'cafe de flore by dr. rockit', 'all that you give by the cinematic orchestra'

And notable artists: chet baker, st germain, i:cube, stephane pompougnac, chateau flight (notable song not on this cd is "camping jazz" of which I know the name), gotan project, the herbaliser, slow train, mr scruff, mark rae (from Rae & Christian), Aim, jazzanova, de-phazz, beanfield, infracom, truby trio, marschmellows, boozoo bajou, mo horizons, alphawezen, thievery corporation.

These are the names that I know best, and to see that many on one compilation is a blessing.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting mix of music.......2007-06-08

I bought this after hearing some of the songs playing in a restaurant and asking what they where playing. Decided to take a chance with it and was not disappointed. In general, the songs are interesting, some even fun. The mix includes a number of styles and doesn't get bogged down by one type. There is a song or two that I skip over when it comes up, but in general I can let each of the discs play and like most of what I hear.

However, don't bother getting the second volume, it's no good.

3 out of 5 stars it's a solid collection for lovers of the genre..........2005-11-30

Nowadays when I venture out to buy an actual CD, it's usually a box compilation of some sort. iTunes has become a godsend; but I still get excited at discovering a promising CD on the rack and just taking a chance on what's there. For me it's part of the great experience of being a music lover.

If you get into the more relaxed side of club music and electronica--nujazz, downtempo, whatever--this collection will grow on you, one track at a time. In typical 'box set' fashion, don't expect to love everthing here; but there are enough tight little grooves to make it worth the purchase.

3 out of 5 stars 4 for the price of 1.......2005-09-08

There are places you can get the set for $24. If BarGrooves and jazz mix is your bag, City Lounge will fill the void. However, if you are looking for dance tunes, rhythm, beats that will get people up on the floor, this isn't it. I suppose the music would work best as background music (think KMart in a Bar Environment) while people are flirting with each other, concentrating on each others fleshy parts and sizes, and tanking Bombay and tequila.

Using it to pass time while stuck in traffic, or as a musical upper while on the way to work, isn't quite the goal of this sound. Be happy you bought the set of 4 rather than each one individually, as some tracks are better than others, and some CDs better than others, and maybe may make the $24 seem a justified purchase (vs. $74 or so).

Could be sexy enough music, but only if you are lying next to the other already naked and too lazy to get up and change the cd to something else...

      2 out of 5 stars Nowhere near as good as the first one.......2007-06-08

      I was very disappointed with the collection. The first volume of City Lounge was interesting and eclectic. This one is almost half full of rap and or hip/hop songs (not my favorites), most of which are not any good. The songs of other types are in general uninteresting. There are a few here and there that are at least "listenable", and a couple that I even like, but for the most part it is not worth it. In fact, there is one song that was on the first volume! That is just lazy. Overall this was a waste of money. I'm not going to bother with buying the third collection now, as this one has soured me on the whole idea.
