音樂文字: Ultra-Lounge (The Tiki Sampler)

懶洋洋：Capitol唱片沙發音樂歷年精選

這是一張美國Capital公司緬懷昔日生活點滴、重新整理50至70年代通俗音樂的經典系列 "Ultra-Lounge" 的最新合集，由Bob Norberg負責統籌編選，同時重新立體聲數位化（digital remaster）。

除了原有17首曾經在系列選輯中出現的原版錄音外，Bob安排收錄了六首未曾出現在本系列的浪漫聲影，以及兩首隱藏說明曲，幾首名曲概述如下 --

Billy May "The Look of Love"巧妙地結合了拉丁美洲Bossa Nova與美國西部Country Folk；Peggy Lee詮釋Antonio Carlos Jobim的爵士名曲 "The Boy from Ipanema" 搖擺風華盡現；Henry Jerome的管絃樂版 "月河 Moon River" 如沐熱天午后席席涼風；Tino Contreras "Brazil"重現老電影《巴西》（另有譯名：《異想天開》）的熱鬧繽紛；Gloria Wood的煽情演唱 "Oh, Honey" 滿佈情慾誘惑；Helmut Zacharias 改編The Doors的迷幻搖滾 "Light My Fire" 以絃樂牽出動人的異國情調；Mel Torme的 "Happy Together" 娓娓道出對愛情的執迷，令人連想起王家衛的電影《春光乍洩》；Julie London得天獨厚的美聲 "Come On-A My House" 總在氤氳的霧氣裡滲出一絲恬淡；Nancy Wilson夢囈式的告白 "Wave" 悠揚動人；壓軸曲 "Get Smart / Casino Royale" 延續整張選輯的浪漫抒情與輕快寫意，真切的音樂質感讓人聽後難以釋懷。

請想像一下這個畫面：時間往前回溯四十年，在美國大城市郊區的小酒吧裡面，午夜時分，昏黃的燈光，稀稀落落的幾位酒客，滿眼朦朧的注視著小舞台；當歌手悄然地自黑暗中蓮移飄來，慵懶的音符同時在空氣中緩緩地漫散開來，所有失魂的目光一下都被攫住，緊接著 -- 身體將不由自主地跟著搖擺起來．．．
