St. Tropez: The Sex, The Beach, The Music (Petrol/EMI)
This is an excellent compilation of lounge music, perfect for getting your party cozy and comfortable. On headphones or blasted on a good sound system, this album will certainly please lounge aficionados.
Our picks include Cubismo Grafico and Vegomatic. Also recommended are Her Majesty’s Sound (I am a Lady) with echoes of James Bond soundtracks, and the very bouncy Linky (Ce Matin La).
This CD is part of a new series of lounge and world music compilations from Petrol Records. In sum, if you can’t get a ticket to St. Tropez, get this album!
