I do not know what on earth possessed me to buy this CD. I'm not a big lounge fan. I am not cool. I listen to bluegrass, for crying out loud.

The Fuzzy Sampler is indeed a packaging masterpiece. Could that have been it? No- I bought it from Amazon, sight unseen.

The music? The Fuzzy Sampler contains some of the silliest tunes ever to find their way into my CD player. "Lonesome Road" is like Spike Jones on acid. Do not sip on a martini while listening to "Teach Me Tiger"- you will choke on the olive. "Swamp Fire" sounds like something you'd hear at a church haunted house, and - "Holiday for Strings?" Speechless.

But then again, I turn the knob to 11 every time "Peter Gunn," "Pink Panther," and "I Love Paris" come on. Overall, the mix is perfect- uptempo beat, then smooth sex (er, I mean sax), short trip on an elevator, then back to jump...and the embarrassing moments ("French Rat Race"- ptooey!) are over quickly.

Great pick-me-up music, and what an eye opener. I can't wait to throw more money at the rest of Ultra Lounge series!

This CD is one of the greatest purchases I ever made. I was brousing the cd's a my local record store and came upon this fuzzy, ultra-hip complilation. I have bought this CD for friends and used it for entertaining. Almost anyone will love this cd, if simply for the humour in it! FANTASTIC!

an excellent potpourri of swingers music... It even has a few of the goodies such as Bobby Darin's "No one else could love you more" and of course they have jump jive and wail.

Very nice Cd to put on quietly while you're entertaining a lady friend.

So like the "Ultra Lounge-Tiki Sampler" that I'll use the same words to review this: The variety and quality of Lounge genre music found on the "Ultra Lounge" samplers, is enough to put Lounge as my most favoured music form. I now want to collect all 23 CDs that the samples were taken from.

Lower the lights, shake one up (a twist please) and prepare to experience what swank and smooth is all about. This fantastic collection is a veritable time/cool machine; projecting you back to an age of class and alcolhol induced enlightenment which, it seems, many of us have lost. A definate must have.

Lawrence Welk on steroids. What a blast this CD is. Slither into something more comfortable, shake up that perfect martooni, and listen to this. You'll be totally loose in no time. Don't go here though, if you can't groove on a little kitch, this CD is not for the black-clad masses. I mean, really, the cover is fuzzy leopard print. Need I say more.........

just makes you want to sit down, chill out and pick up a nice martini

A good sampler of the first 12 volumes of the series. With the super cool cover, you should get it even if you have all 12.

A question to y'all who have it. One reviewer here (the one from Boston) says it came with a coaster. Did anyone else get one with theirs? Maybe it came with the original pressing and I got a later reissue? What's the dilly-o? I want stuff!

Este es el CD que yo pondria a la cabeza de la coleccion de Ultralounge, maravilloso para sumergirse por completo en la serie. Definitivamente "Ultra-Lounge:Fuzzy Sampler" contiene piezas que ningun coleccionista de musica coctel debe dejar de tener en su coleccion. Compralo y no te arrepentiras. Saludos Horacio

My sister bought this CD yesterday and was crying with laughter when she discovered Song No. 16 - Teach Me Tiger - it's just gorgeous - I'll be playing this weekend at a party I'm going to - what a cool cover too! I've always been a faux fur gal myself - ENJOY!
