Not a bad lounge collection, especially at this price

"Calvert DeForest is better known as Larry "Bud" Melman from the David Letterman TV show, and he lent his name and image to this late 1990s lounge compliation CD. In terms of song selection, the quality is nearly as good as the Ultra-Lounge series. Given that this is a late 1990s-CD, the artwork and song selection also play up the then-current "Austin Powers" movies and this CD has a lot in common with the music from those films. In fact, if you walked into a room and heard this playing you'd probably assume it *was* the Austin Powers soundtrack CD. If you like what you're hearing so far, just get the CD. You won't regret it.



If you're a Calvert DeForest fan, you'll appreciate his odd vocals on "Tequila." If you aren't a fan, don't worry - it's the last song on the CD and you can skip this typically surreal comedy.



I paid two dollars for this CD brand-new in a lot warehouse, so you should be able to find a dirt-cheap used copy here."

"I heard the Quincy Jones cut, "Soul Bossa Nova," on my local public broadcasting station. It was fantastic! The DJ told me that this cd features the actor Calvert DeForest (Larry "Bud" Melman from David Letterman) on the cover surrounded by beautiful women. The rest of the music is lounge music. Check out the titles. I'm looking forward to a bizarre musical experience with this cd and the unforgettable Mr. Melman."
