Album Description:
A new generation of hip Bachelors and Bachelorettes covets its unique arrangements, unusual instrumentation and startling stereo effects. Now you no longer need to scavenge for rare recordings by artists like Richard Hayman, Perry & Kingsley and Enoch Light. Here they are... tunes guys with hi-fl sets played to woo and seduce unsuspecting dates.

If you don't want to impress a woman, this CD is for you. Every woman who I have played it for laughs. It isn't romantic. It is jokey. Nice for a gathering of boys sipping martinis, but not for seduction. It is interesting, early electronic music, but it is not for the ladies. If you are a musical historian, you will enjoy this. If you want to set a mood for woo, keep this off your turntable.

DCC has made a fair attempt to offer some swingin' music, although obviously following the lead of Capitol Records' far better series, "Ultra-Lounge". I have about four or five discs in DCC's set, including "Exotica" and both volumes of "Sex Kittens in Hi Fi". Overall, I give DCC a grade of C+, or at best a B- for the Bachelor's Den collection. This disc is a B-.
I have to say that the Mel Henke cuts lift this particular disc above the plain, workaday attempt to cash in on the retro Lounge ... Read More

This CD is an excellent example of "Lounge Music," a genre I only recently got into. The tracks are very pleasantly varied; there is something for every taste (among those who can dig this sort of music). The standout tracks, I feel, are the two "PLAYBOY-esque" songs by Mel Henke ("The Lively Ones" and "The Twisters"), a jazzed-up version of Leroy Anderson's "Jazz Pizzacato," and a big-band, no-frills version of "Caravan." P.S.: If you gritted your teeth when I used the phrase "dig this sort of ... Read More
