Lounge Music

Postby brainpanhandler » Sun Jan 13, 2008 7:16 pm

I got to thinking about the concept of a lounge. Certain thoughts and images spring to mind for me. A lounge for RIers...somehow it seems like we might need one and yet it strikes me as surreal at the moment and it gets almost no use. The vacant lounge...

Wiki returned a disambiguation page for the search "lounge". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lounge This lead to an exploration of "lounge music". And so, the Lounge Music thread is born. (Edit: Formerly the Vacant Lounge Music thread.)

Les Baxter- Autmn Leaves


Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto- The Girl from Ipanema


Ennio Morricone-Intermezziono Pop

I've always had a thing for Esquivel, but here is a selection of "Space Age Pop" I found when searching for him.

and this one http://www.spaceagepop.com/rc001.htm made me laugh.

Good one. Cheers.

In the neighbourhood

Time (live)

Hold on

On the nickel

And he starts out with waltzing matilda on the piano, (the first waltzing matilda not his version,) sounds beautiful.

St Tom of Waits is what we call him here.

I am a big fan of Atom Heart's music, in all of his many guises, including Senor Coconut.
