4.0 out of 5 starsI'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
By Johnny Heering on September 19, 2004
Format: Audio CD
These recordings date from 1964 to 1971. During this time period, there were two kinds of "pop" music. There was the kind for teenagers, which featured the likes of the Beatles, the Doors and the Strawberry Alarm Clock. And then there was pop music for the parents of teenagers, featuring the likes of Julie London, the Letterman and the Hollyridge Strings. This CD features teenage pop songs as performed by pop artists for the older folks. Boy, talk about a style clash! Can you imagine Mel Torme singing "Sunshine Superman", or Julie London singing "Mighty Quinn"? Well, you don't have to imagine it, you can get this CD and hear it for yourself. There are some strange renditions of songs that will be familiar to anyone who ever turned on an oldies radio station. Most of the songs are instumentals, although I wouldn't call it "elevator music", for the most part. I have to make special mention of the orchestral version of "Heartbreak Hotel", which is downright spooky! Fans of "kitsch" should dig this CD.

5.0 out of 5 starsA New Level Of Kitsch
By winkingtiger on June 13, 2003
Format: Audio CD
Mel Torme singing 'Sunshine Superman'? Julie London warbling 'Quinn, The Eskimo'? Exotica Supremo Martin Denny taking on 'Incense & Peppermints'? No, you haven't gone insane, you're just listening to the ultimate curveball CD from 'Ultra-Lounge' This may be one of the most mind-warping albums I have ever heard; extremly tasteless and misguided takes on your favorite 60's pop hits by desperate loungeurs trying to be 'relevant' to 'the kids'. They miss the boat entirely, but the result is this strange hybrid; not quite lounge music, not quite rock, not really muzak...but it is (in the words of The Firesign Theatre) 'weirdly cool' . On first listening I didn't know WHAT I was hearing, but this disc has become strangely addictive...
Particular faves are a kinda science-fictiony sounding 'Shaft', Lord Sitar(!) doing a faux Indian take on 'Daydream Believer', Zacharias & his spooky violin on 'Light My Fire', and what must be the strangest 'Heartbreak Hotel' since Dread Zeppelin's...plus the vocal numbers mentioned above. If you are an auditory adventurer, and you 'get' the whole 'lounge' vibe...bend your head around this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars78 minutes of cheesy wonderfulness. Magnificent from start to finish.
By Mike VINE VOICE on April 27, 2010
Format: Audio CD
I'm pretty much a fan of the entire Ultra-Lounge series, and this might be the best of the lot. There's a built-in assumption that the target audience for the cover versions on this CD also constitutes fans of the originals, and for me, that's true. I know every song on this CD like the back of my hand, and to hear the Easy Listening / Lounge / Vegas interpretations on "On The Rocks, Pt. 1" is a non-stop joy from start to finish.

This is the kind of CD you pop in when you want to "turn that frown upside down." Seriously...I defy anyone to remain in a bad mood after the first few tracks of this CD kick in.

Highlights? Every...single...TRACK. Trust me. The genius behind this CD is the thought that went into assembling its various parts.

It kicks off with Helmut Zacharias' version of "Light My Fire." The Lizard King, filtered through a fine cocktail and mood lighting? Why not!

And the late, legendary "Velvet Fog" himself, confessing that he could have "tripped out easy" but he's "changed his ways?"

The Lettermen tackle a truly intimidating medley of "Hello I Love You / Touch Me"...it's a yin / yang blend that brings to mind the relationship of Charles Manson and the Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson...oil and water...but ultimately, it mixes. Whether it sould or it shouldn;t, it does...deal with it!

The biggest surprise was John Tartaglia's medley of "A Day In The Life / I Am The Walrus"...it starts off in a reasonably low-key easy listening kind of way, but it just keeps amping up...getting tougher and tougher...this isn;t your dad's elevator music. By the time it reaches the "oke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head," we are ROCKIN'...albeit in an easy listening kind of way...but it makes you want to hear more John Tartaglia.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsI'm really in the groove, now...
By A Customer on September 25, 1998
Format: Audio CD
The British Invasion, it should be noted, contained Miss Peggy Lee. That's right, the Peggy Lee of "Fever". Peggy Lee, you see, was the 5th Beatle. This disc is evidence of that, as you hear Peggy belt out "A Hard Day's Night". Yeah, baby! Oh, and you also get a special version of "Light My Fire"--a version that I think Ed Sullivan would have approved. Come on baby, light my fire. Mel Torme, Wayne Newton--now THAT's counter-culture, man. So put on your fringe vest, those rose-colored Lennon specs, and take a step back in time to some real anit-Establishment venom!

5.0 out of 5 starsIf it's Ultralounge, it's gotta be good!
By Daniel Brown on March 4, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
You will love this CD! It's lounge to the MAX and the tracks are incredible, powerful and CLEAN! This old stuff was mastered in the studio in ways that make modern music often sound like total garbage, and Ultralounge tracks are very clean and offer incredible fidelity and dynamic range! You will NOT be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 starsKinda-Cool non-rock elevator rock songs
By J. Bynum on January 12, 2012
Format: Audio CD
On The Rocks / Volume One / Ultra-Lounge series: The whole Ultra-Lounge series has been great, but the "on the rocks" CD(s) takes the series beyond the realm of `lounge' and into true `elevator music' with these Rock songs from the 1960's (and even 70's) that have been re-imagined in these ultimate `easy listening' versions. Beware: Listening to the Lettermen version of "Hello, I love you" may cause insanity!
This is a Four Star album

Interesting takes on pop songs. I had bought it for the version of A Day in the Life, but for me, the stand-out track ended up being Daydream Believer. Great stuff.
