Party Tyme Karaoke: Love Songs, Vol. 1 by Karaoke/Sybersound (CD - 06/06/2006)
"Party Tyme Karaoke: Love Songs, Vol. 1" (06/06/2006) Easy Listening Karaoke, SybersoundUnlike a lot of karaoke discs, some volumes in Sybersound's Party Tyme Karaoke series give karaoke enthusiasts the benefit of being able to choose between instrumental and vocal versions. The discs typically begin with the instrumental versions and then repeat the program with the vocal versions of the same songs. The renditions of the songs are functional -- the vocals tend to be somewhat buried in the mix, just loud enough to guide you without overpowering your voice -- but hardly substitute for the originals. Party Tyme Karaoke: Love Songs, Vol. 1 includes instrumental and vocal versions of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman," Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You," Heatwave's "Always and Forever," and Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately." ~ Andy Kellman

Christmas Eve and Other Stories [Box] by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (CD - 11/02/2004)
"Christmas Eve and Other Stories [Box]" (11/02/2004) Easy Listening Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Lava Records (USA)Trans-Siberian Orchestra includes: Paul O'Neill (conductor). This release includes a bonus DVD. Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Al Pitrelli (guitar, keyboards); Chris Caffery, Alex Skolnick, Paul O'Neill, Angus Clark, Tristan Avakian (guitar); Jon Oliva, Robert Kinkel (piano, keyboards); Jane Mangini (piano); Carmine Giglo, Mee Eun Kim (keyboards); David Z. , Johnny Lee Middleton, Jeff Allegue (bass instrument); Jeff Plate (drums). In 2004, Trans-Siberian Orchestra finished their "Christmas trilogy" with the massive -- some would say ponderous -- The Lost Christmas Eve. Wasting none of the holiday season's precious shopping time, the Christmas Trilogy box set landed two weeks after that album, giving the band's loyal fan base a set to give -- some would say inflict -- to their friends. Then again, maybe they'll just want to hold on to the set since there's a DVD with appearances by Jewel and Michael Crawford and the lavishly illustrated booklet includes all the lyrics and background stories. You really should dabble in Trans-Siberian's dramatic, huge world of Christmas music through the eyes of classic rock before laying down the money for the set. If you just need a bit of this 60-piece, the first album is the most inspired, but it's not enough for most who get hooked. Although the next two albums gave diminishing returns, Trans-Siberian producer/mastermind Paul O'Neill kept pouring his heart into the music and always offered some genuine thrills. Great presentation and a packed DVD make up for a lot of note-spinning on the third disc, and what was a wintry night made for besides curling up with a precious, hope-filled story, no matter how cumbersome? ~ David Jeffries What would happen if members of Savatage decided to write some Christmas songs? Easy: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This "supergroup" is the brainchild of Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill (respectively the leader-keyboardist and the producer of Savatage). They hired Al Pitrelli (Asia, Savatage) to play guitars, Robert Kinkel to help with keyboards, John Middleton (also a member of Savatage) on bass, and Jeff Plate on drums. Lead vocals are shared by six vocalists, while some of the backing vocals are handled by Savatage lead singer Zachary Stevens. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a concept album: all the songs are built as chapters of a book, each telling part of a larger story. The plot here is of a young angel sent down to Earth to find and bring back to the Lord "the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done in the name of this day." The angel's quest takes him all over the world, through Russia and Sarajevo, until he finally hears the prayer of a father. This last piece is the strongest moment on the album and makes for a miniature story within the larger story. It is basically told in a trilogy of songs: in the first, "Ornament," we hear the father's prayer, explaining how he hasn't seen his daughter in many years. In "Old City Bar," the angel finds the daughter, standing alone outside a bar, and talks to the bartender who, out of a random act of kindness, takes all the cash from his register drawer and gives it to the girl so she can go home. The third song, "This Christmas Day," has the father praising God, thanking him for bringing his daughter back to him on this night of all nights. It is a very touching story, pondering the thought that "If you want to arrange it/This world you can change it/If we could somehow make this/Christmas thing last/By helping a neighbor/Or even a stranger." Musically, the band has taken some traditional Christmas songs ("O Come All Ye Faithful," "O Holy Night," "The First Noel") and mixed in some modern rock music. The result is stunning and very impressive. It is filled with energy that simply blows you away. The already classic "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" is a gripping instrumental based on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (although you might have to listen carefully to hear it). Fans of progressive music should like this one. And if you're into the more recent works of Savatage (like Handful of Rain or De

Definitive Hits by Herb Alpert (CD - 03/27/2001)
"Definitive Hits" (03/27/2001) Easy Listening Alpert, Herb, Interscope Records (USA)Personnel includes: Herb Alpert (trumpet); Janet Jackson, Lisa Keith (vocals); Tijuana Brass. Producers include: Herb Alpert, Jerry Moss, Burt Bacharach, Jose Quintana, Randy Badazz. Compilation producers: Herb Alpert, Larry Levine, Mike Ragogna. Includes liner notes by Herb Alpert and Quincy Jones. Digitally remastered using 20-bit remastering technology by Doug Sax and Robert Hadley (The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles, California). Personnel: Herb Alpert (trumpet); Lisa Keith (vocals). Audio Remixers: Don Hahn; Bryan Stott. Liner Note Authors: Quincy Jones; Burt Bacharach. Arrangers: Herb Alpert; Juan Carlos Calder¢n. Before his run at the top of the easy-listening charts, Herb Alpert was already a music-industry veteran, writing and producing hits for Sam Cooke and Jan & Dean. Alpert also deserves a place in history as co-founder and owner of A&M Records, one of the most successful independent labels of all time. A solid 20-track compilation spanning Alpert's career, DEFINITIVE HITS covers the trumpeter/singer/label executive's glory years--the 1961-'68 stretch between "The Lonely Bull" and the Burt Bacharach-penned vocal showcase "This Guy's in Love with You." However, it also conveniently gathers material from the post-Tijuana Brass period when Alpert specialized in easy-listening fusion hits like the disco-tinged jazz-funk of 1979's "Rise" and the adult-contemporary R&B of 1987's "Diamonds," which features A&M Records' then-new star Janet Jackson on lead vocals. But, of course, the real meat of the collection is the brilliantly arranged suburban exotica of "Spanish Flea," "A Taste of Honey," and "Whipped Cream," along with other fine examples of Alpert's Latin-tinged pop.

Closer by Josh Groban (CD - 11/11/2003)
"Closer" (11/11/2003) Easy Listening Groban, Josh, Warner Bros. Records (Record Label)Personnel includes: Josh Groban (vocals); Leo Z. (piano, keyboards, programming, background vocals); Angie Passerella (acoustic & Classical guitars); Dean Parks, Ramon Stagnaro, Michael Thompson (guitar); Joshua Bell (violin); Devis Mariotti (flute, whistle, background vocals); Eric Rigler (Uillean pipes); David Foster (piano); Mark Hammond (keyboards, programming); David Fall (drums); Raphael Padila (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag (programming); Richard Page, Andrea Sandri (background vocals); Deep Forest. Producers: David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Leo Z., Mauro Malavasi, Eric Mouquet. Recorded at Chartmaker Studios, Malibu, California. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Josh Groban (piano, background vocals); Dean Parks, Norbert Gallo, Michael Hart Thompson , Ramon Stagnaro (guitar); J'Anna Jacoby, Joshua Bell (violin); Eric Rigler (Uilleann pipe); David Foster (piano, keyboards); Mark Portmann, Walter Afanasieff (keyboards, programming); Eric Mouquet, Mark Hammond (keyboards); David Fall (drums); Rafael Padilla (percussion); Paul Schwartz (programming, drum programming); Courtney Blooding, Andrea Sandrei, Marco Marinangeli, Richard Page (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Humberto Gatica; Pierre Jacquot. Recording information: Blue Studios (09/26/2003); Chalice, CA (09/26/2003); Chartmaker Studios, Malibu, CA (09/26/2003); EMM Studio, France (09/26/2003); Leo Z's Studio (09/26/2003); Sony Studios, Culver City, CA (09/26/2003); Wallyworld, LA (09/26/2003). Photographer: Olaf Heine. Arrangers: Klaus Derendorf; Eric Mouquet; Jeremy Lubbock; Mark Hammond; Mark Portmann; Paul Schwartz ; William Ross; David Foster; Walter Afanasieff. Powerhouse vocalist Josh Groban may not be all things to all people, but he's certainly many things to many people. An international sensation, Groban is a Broadway-ready belter, romantic crooner, and classical/pop crossover phenomenon. Groban largely shies away from the more operatic side of his musical personality on CLOSER, leaning more towards a lush, cosmopolitan style that finds him singing in Italian, French, Spanish, and English with equal aplomb. While the album is speckled with adult-contemporary pop production touches courtesy of Groban's mentor David Foster, much of the record sports a cinematic, grandly orchestrated feel. And on the closing track "Never Let Go," his collaboration with ambient popsters Deep Forest, Groban even bucks for inclusion on a future volume of the PURE MOODS series, showing that he's always got another stylistic surprise up his sleeve.

This Decca Phase 4 two-fer revives a pair of out of print LPs by English bandleader, pianist, and composer Frank Chacksfield, Beyond the Sea and The New Limelight, released in 1964 and 1965, respectively. Both albums contain romantic mood music with the first 11 tracks dominated by an ocean theme, including "How Deep Is the Ocean," "Sea Mist," "The Sea," "Moon River," and "Ebb Tide," while the remaining tracks focus on show tunes and standards like "Tonight," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "The Man That Got Away," and "Limelight." This is an enjoyable reissue from Frank Chacksfield's out of print catalog on Decca Records. ~ Al Campbell

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Original Soundtrack/Henry Mancini (CD - 10/17/1988)
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" (10/17/1988) Easy Listening Original Soundtrack, RCA Records (USA)Original score composed and conducted by Henry Mancini. Recorded on December 8, 1960 and April 27, 1961. Originally released on RCA (2362). Composer: Henry Mancini. Personnel: Henry Mancini (piano); Tom Kenny, Gilda Maiken, John Drake, Sue Allen, Bernie Parke (vocals); Bob Bain (guitar, mandola); Alton Hendrickson, Laurindo Almeida (guitar); Sam Freed, Nathan Kaproff, Herman Clebanoff, Marvin Limonick, Erno Neufeld, Benny Gill, Ambrose Russo, Samuel Cytron, Lou Klass, Irma Neumann, Joe Stepansky, Mort Herbert, William Miller, Nathan Ross, Eudice Shapiro (violin); Victor Gottlieb, Alexander Neiman, Robert Ostrowsky, Milton Thomas (viola); Armand Karpoff, Raphael Kramer, Edgar Lustgarten (cello); Ethmer Roten (flute, bass flute); George Fields (harmonica); Carl Fortina (accordion); Arnold Koblentz (oboe); Ronald Langinger, Wilbur Schwartz (reeds, saxophone); Justin Gordon (saxophone); Frank Beach, Jack Sheldon, Ray Triscari (trumpet); Vincent DeRosa (French horn); George Roberts , Richard Nash, Karl de Karske (trombone); James Rowles, Pearl Kaufman (piano); Larry Bunker (vibraphone, drums); Milt Holland, Shelly Manne, Ralph Collier (drums); Louis Singer (percussion). Liner Note Authors: Patrick Snyder; Leonard Feather. Recording information: Hollywood, CA (1961); RCA Victor's Music Center Of the World, Hollywood, CA (1961). Arranger: Henry Mancini. By 1961, film composer Henry Mancini was already well known in Hollywood for his jazzy, brassy scores to Touch of Evil and Peter Gunn. But it was this effervescent soundtrack for Blake Edwards' adaption of Truman Capote's wistful novella that propelled Mancini into the major league of Hollywood composers. Though there were other jazz-oriented arrangers working in Hollywood at the time, none possessed Mancini's imagination and skill in orchestration. (He was a veritable Berlioz in the way he cast instruments as characters in the story.) Only John Barry could ever match his gift for melody. The Oscar-winning "Moon River" is a case in point. Toots Thielemans' tremulous, lonely harmonica introduces the simple, near-folk tune, neatly evoking protagonist Holly Golighty's "secret" country roots. Later on, Mancini vividly illustrates urban living itself with the lively mambo "Something For Cat" and a big-band blues, "The Big Blow Out," as well as sleek New York panoramas "Holly" and "Breakfast At Tiffany's" itself, delicious concoctions of voices and strings, trombone and vibes. Culture shock was never so appealing.

Christmas Caroling by Ray Conniff (CD - 09/01/2001)
"Christmas Caroling" (09/01/2001) Easy Listening Conniff, Ray, Columbia (USA)Contains 16 tracks. Personnel: Ray Conniff (trombone). Christmas Caroling is an excellent disc that rounds up 15 highlights from Ray Conniff's numerous holiday albums. Production styles may have changed over the years, but Conniff's easy listening style stayed essentially the same through it all, which means that the compilation is fairly cohesive and that it's a terrific choice for background holiday music. Among the highlights are "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Frosty the Snowman," "Joy to the World," "Jingle Bells," "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

"Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica" (02/06/1996) Easy Listening Various Artists, Capitol/EMI RecordsAll tracks have been digitally remastered. This is part of Capitol Records' Ultra-Lounge series. An 18-song exhumation of the Capitol exotica back catalog, placing old standbys like Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Yma Sumac alongside lesser-knowns like Webley Edwards, Bas Sheva, and the wonderfully-named 80 Drums Around the World. This favors easy listening-friendly exotica, rather than the style at its most outrageous. It may be too naroticizing for some, but connoisseurs will appreciate the inclusion of the rarer material; a couple of the cuts were even previously unreleased. ~ Richie Unterberger

"Romantic Saxophone: Love Songs to Remember" (03/05/2002) Easy Listening Various Artists, Columbia River Entertainment GroupThis installment of the Romantic Saxophone series features breathy, instrumental arrangements of some memorable pop moments. Standouts include a striking version of Phil Collins' "One More Night" that perfectly conveys the yearning and perceived loss inherent in the original, as well as an upbeat, percussive take on Huey Lewis' Back to the Future anthem "Power of Love." Like so many of these collections, the synthesized backing tracks threaten to overwhelm throughout. However, strong melody prevails in the end. ~ Johnny Loftus
