| | Ultra Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter CD
Cole Porter was one of the most important songwriters of the 20th Century. This 2004 disc is a fun and upbeat collection of classic renditions of Porter's songs. Many of the greatest American Songbook crooners are featured here. Among them, we hear Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis, Jr., and others. Many essential Porter gems are presented, including the sprightly "Just One of Those Things," the sensual "Night and Day," the cutesy "It's De-Lovely," and the haunting "Every Time We Say Goodbye." This album sparkles and shimmers with hard-swinging performances by the finest singers in jazz. Moreover, each vocalist is backed by sizzling-hot orchestral arrangements from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and others.

The debut White Noise album featured Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson, who had worked for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and David Vorhaus, who had studied classical orchestral bass playing and electronics. The instrumentation consisted of early electronic instruments and a huge amount of tape manipulation, the standard techniques of the Workshop in those days. The album originally released by Island Records in 1969 only emerged on CD - in a "matrix mixed" format - as late as 1996, again on Island, but was rapidly deleted. Island. ...

| | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Ultra Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter
$10.79  
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, ...

| | Systematic Pleasure To Burn CD (2003)
Ultra Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter
$9.29
Systematic first made noise in 2001 as the initial signing to Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich's vanity label. His Music Company imprint folded in 2002, but Systematic was picked up by Elektra after a strong showing at Ozzfest '01 and promising sales of its debut. Unfortunately, Pleasure to Burn, its sophomore effort, is a collection of mid-tempo doom rockers that doesn't stray very far from the precedent songwriters Tim Narducci (vocals/guitar) and Adam Ruppel (guitar) established with Systematic's debut. Together with new rhythm section Johnny Bechtel (bass) and Paul Bostaph (who previously drummed for Slayer), Narducci and Ruppel plod through an unimaginative, gloomy set that owes a considerable debt to Alice in Chains, and does little to stand out from the other gas guzzlers in the rusty nu-metal motor pool. While "Breakable" features some nice guitar/drum dynamics initially, it quickly degenerates into cliché ("You seem to think that I'm the dirt on which you walk," etc.). Vocal processing separates the verses from a mildly uplifting chorus that's nevertheless marred by gratuitous cussing. "Infected," "Pleasure to Burn," and "Change" are by-the-numbers workouts, nu-metal's ...
