Wow - looking back, this is a terrific album. The artists involved at the time, some were just starting to grow in popularity but this album is exceptional. I bought this well over a year ago, and from there have spidered out and picked up cd's by Mo Horizon's (Germany), Reminiscence Quartet (France), Boyz From Brazil and Nicola Conte.

I highly recommend this. You won't be disappointed - and it's one of those albums that you can put in and just play and relax. It starts out slow and smooth with a jazzy Portuguese track, then moves on to get a bit upbeat, then dark loungish with Foto Viva before the nightlife begins with Onde Anda O Meu Amor. The CD starts to "Wind Down" with a smooth remix of Vai Minha Tristeza and ends out with the classic "Jet Society" by Cordoba Orchestra.

It's a nice adventure and a terrific release. I wish ESL would make another like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice laid back party music, October 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Eighteenth Street Lounge Soundtracks - Jet Society (Audio CD)

When this is playing in the backround, people don't really stop what theyre doing to listen to it, but it does bring everyone's spirits up. It's a very jazzy funky collection of 50s-70s sounding lounge music from the very modern, to the cheesy burt bacharach-ish last track. Most of it is very enjoyable, but a few just make me laugh and hit the 'next' button, such as Stereo Action Unlimited's 'Hi Fi trumpet'. Overall a very nice cd and a collection of songs and styles I have yet to find anywhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tour of contemporary, electronic jazz., September 13, 2000

By A Customer

An electronic lounge must. This is the kind of CD that makes you want to break out the libations, turn on the mood lighting, and invite your friends over for a wing-ding. Take out that cocktail shaker and turn up the volume; within moments of hitting play your guests will be nodding their heads and snapping their fingers as they are engulfed in the indulgent beats of these mood altering tracks.
