Sorry it's been along time since I last posted (More on that later), but now by popular demand Greg's Swank Pad Lounge complilation is ready for download. I put this little diddy together to expose people to the sometimes hilarious but actually pretty cool music that the hipsters in the 1960's enjoyed.
Lounge music is a retrospective description of music popular in the 1950s and 1960s encompassing the exotica, easy listening, and space age pop genres. It is a type of mood music meant to evoke in the listeners the feeling of being in a place — a jungle, an island paradise, outer space, et cetera — other than where they are listening to it. [1] The range of lounge music encompasses beautiful music-influenced instrumentals, modern electronica (with chillout, Nu-jazz and downtempo influences), whilst remaining thematically focused on its retro-space-age cultural elements. The earliest type lounge music appeared during the 1920s and 1930s, and was known as Light music. Contemporaneously, the term lounge music also denotes the types of music played in hotels (the lounge, the bar), casinos, and piano bars.
So download the compressed file and load it into your iTunes or other media player, grab a drink and enjoy what I call Groovylicious Martini Music!!!
