 TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD May 8, 2008
UNEVEN ENTRY IN THE ULTRA LOUNGE SERIES, SOME CUTS ARE REALLY GREAT, SOME OF THEM ARE A BIT TIRED THE FIRST TIME YOU HEAR THEM. SOME OF THE SONGS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SITTING POOLSIDE LISTENING TO A REALLY CHEESEY BAND WITH A BUNCH OF GERIATRIC PATIENTS. IF YOU ARE IN THE MOOD TO HEAR HAMMOND ORGAN AND WURLITZER, THIS IS OVERALL A PRETTY GOOD CD (BUT IT SURE AIN'T AS GOOD AS JIMMY SMITH, SHIRLEY SCOTT, BROTHER JACK MCDUFF, RICHARD GROOVE HOLMES, OR CHARLES EARLAND).
 LOVE IT! May 13, 2007

Love this kind of music - can't get enough - have most all of the CDs. Excellent New Jersey-based company with excellent foresight and retro-understanding for the best party and jazz combos. Excellent choice for any kind of day or evening, party or relaxation time.
Vital Organs... March 28, 2007

While some entries in the wonderful "Ultra-Lounge" series seem to get away from their 'theme', "Organs In Orbit" stays true to it's organ-mad sound from start to finish. Even the bonus track by "The Continental" has a strong Hammond sound to it. In some ways, that makes this one of the stranger entries in the series, because it sticks *so* closely to the format.
I think every cut on this disc has some merit (except "Flying Fiddles" where Shay Torrent (?) proves that an organ can sound like a fiddle...and not much else.) One of my absolute favorites would have to be the aptly named "Movin' At Midnight" (by the also aptly-named Sir Julian)...it's the coolest and swings like nobody's business.
There's also The Joe Bucci Trio's smooth-as-the-formica-top-of-a-wurlitzer "Lil' Darlin'", Milt Buckner's ultra-cool "The Late Late Show" (you might remember his "The Beast" from Volume Four) which definitely lives up to the late night feel of it's title, and the Immortal Martin Denny's Eerie, yet cheesy "Song Of the Bayou". Not to mention the cool wind sound effects (made on an organ, of course) on "Ill Wind."
I saved a new paragraph to try and describe the best cut of all: The John Buzon Trio and "Mr. Ghost Comes To Town." These are the same geniuses who brought us "Squatty Roo" on Volume Eighteen and two more great ones on "Mambo Fever." And "Ill Wind" (see above). "Mr. Ghost" is as sax-heavy as it is organ-infested, and it is a real attention grabber with it's infectious latin rhythms...one I come back to enjoy over and over again.
Another treat is 'The Forbidden Five' and their "Enchanted Farm" a take-off on Martin Denny, who often used bird calls, etc. in his songs to give them that 'Exotica' feel. The Five take this concept much further out, where instead of tropical bird calls, we have horses whinnying and cows mooing, etc. It even has bombs exploding and a Theremin, too..although actually there's a beautiful melody going on behind all the parody. Definitely one-of-a kind!
I forgot to mention organ hero Denny McLain, well represented here with four cuts, but I feel I've said enough. If you're searching for excellent examples of that cheesy lounge organ sound...look no futher. ;oD
I love the Ultra-Lounge series. December 10, 2006

The sound quality of the Ultra-Lounge series is excellent, even though the songs were recorded mostly in the 50's and 60's. Capitol Records packs each CD with carefully chosen tracks consistent with the theme of the particular volume in the series. Many of the selections that appear here aren't available elsewhere, either because the original album on which the song appeared is out of print, or because the song was issued as a single and never collected in an album. A few 'previously unreleased' tracks also appear here. This series is a wonderful introduction to the music of a by-gone era, and each album includes detailed notes on each track (artist, writers, date recorded, how released, etc.). I heartily recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this type of music.

I am 56 yrs old,and I think I am gonna die before finding out who
plays the song "the Twist" just like the style as "Ernie Freeman" on ORGAN and other songs on the LP in 1950/60s
(Patricia,Save the last dance for me, Hokey pokey, Hava Nagila,
etc..). Maybe E.Freeman himself played,I am not sure. Please help to find it.
Thanks and regards in advance
