The Foreign Affair/Reunion in Rhythm two-fer CD combines Frankie Laine's 1958 album Foreign Affair with Reunion in Rhythm, released three years later. These LPs were originally released on Columbia Records and had been out of print until being reissued in 2003 on Collectables. In addition to Reunion's contributions by arranger Michel Legrand, this pleasant set includes familiar songs like "Laura," "Autumn Leaves," "Mona Lisa," and "Dream a Little Dream of Me." Those who appreciate easy listening music should find this a welcome addition to their collection. ~ Al Campbell

Foreign Affair/Reunion In Rhythm Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Grand Music from Laine and Legrand
FOREIGN AFFAIR is a wonderful, one of a kind concept album where Frankie Laine sings popular songs from various countries in their original languages! The result is far more entertaining and rewarding than one might think, and many of the individual songs were hits in the various countries whose language they were recorded in (the South American returns from LA PALOMA alone paid for the album). French jazz pianist/arranger Michel Legrand accompanies Laine. REUNION IN RHYTHM brings Laine and Legrand together a second time for a jazzy album of standards (in English). Laine sings the oft-omitted introductions to each of these songs as well as second choruses when they appear. There are many more brilliantly haunting lyrics to BLUE MOON, for instance, than many music fans may be familiar with. Laine is in fine voice on both albums, and swings the standards with confidence and style (jazz being his first love) and Legrand's arrangements, especially on the latter album, are innovative, daring, and brimming with energy and life.

Foreign Affair/Reunion In Rhythm
$10.69 
Both of the Jerry Vale Columbia albums on the You Don't Have to Say You Love Me/I Don't Know How to Love Her two-fer capture his romantic high tenor voice, in great shape, coupled with the type of material that secured his reputation with easy listening fans throughout the years. You Don't Have to Say You Love Me and I Don't Know How to Love Her were originally released in 1968 and, for the most part, are interchangable. Both albums combined deliver 22 relaxing cuts, including "There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)," "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "For the Good Times," and "Rainy Days & Mondays." ~ Al Campbell

$10.59
This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Patti Page LPs: Say Wonderful Things and Love After Midnight, issued in 1963 and 1964, respectively, and originally released on Columbia. These albums zero in on easy listening versions of standards from the songbooks of Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen, Henry Mancini, Johnny Mercer, Edward Heyman and Victor Young. Not an essential purchase for casual listeners, but fans who have been waiting for these LPs to make the switch to CD will appreciate it. ~ Al Campbell

The musical style of Shamall alias Norbert Krueler has evolved from italo disco in the eighties across ambient electronic music in the nineties and changed once more to melodic progressive rock with lots of psychedelic elements according to Pink Floyd and the german progressive band Eloy. With the double release \"ambiguous points of view\" Shamall produced a milestone in the band\'s history yet. Besides the absolutely outstanding quality of music the artwork and packaging were just excellent. Not easy to create a worthy successor for \"ambiguous points of view\".Almost two years passed since Shamall\'s last double cd. The new album \"questions of life\" came out as a very appealing digipak with a 12-page booklet. Musically, Norbert continues on the new album from where he stopped on \"ambiguous points of view\". Just like Shamall\'s recent work,the new album is composed as a concept album. The 18 tracks on this album are musically and thematic strongly affiliated with each other, so you should listening to this album as a whole. It starts with the five-part track \"what will happen\". In the first instance, part I is very psychedelic and reminds strongly of Pink Floyd. Superb melodies and intriguing sounds fill the atmosphere, as you know it from Shamall. That gives you the heebie-jeebies right from the start. Alongside to the soundscapes electric guitar enters the stage, which dominates thoroughly on this album. This creates a very fascinating progressive rock sound. Admittedly Norbert\'s vocals and his german accent need getting used to, similar to those from Eloy\'s singer Frank Bornemann, but if you let the music do its magic, the vocals will burn into your mind because they fit perfectly to the music. The sophisticated drum programming is amazing, just like on Shamall\'s recent work. This is the proof, that he has a distinguished sense of rhythm next to his ability to create excellent compositions. Shamall combines new sounds with warm keyboard sounds from the 70\'s and 80\'s, which should appeal each fan of classic and melodic rock of that era.Relaxing atmospheric soundscapes and pounding rhythmic parts afford an enthralling interplay. Melodies, surprising ones and variations of previous ones are smartly arranged to build a recurrent theme. Stilistically this album bears resemblance to Pink Floyds \"Division Bell\". But tracks like\"prospective waves\", \"life part II\" or \"running and falling\" are evocative of Pink Floyd\'s \"the wall\". ...
