3.0 out of 5 stars Buy the individual albums instead, April 4, 2007

There are several Coumbia Ballroom Orchestra albums. You can sample them here, or skip this album and buy the individual albums. I recommend buying the individual albums! Please don't be distressed by the three star rating. I explain the difference in my profile, and you can find links to several dozens albums reviewed there.

This is full orchestra dance music and the strings often carry the melody line. The cover and insert list the appropriate dance and the tempo (bpm). The tempos are appropriate to the suggested dance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good song choice, but mediocre sound quality., June 17, 2008

Most of the songs done on here were not done with even the instruments that the original artists used, so they came across as pretty cheesy, but still, it was a good selection of songs to use.
