Step into the Ember lounge where the soundtrack is an impeccably blended cocktail of sixties and seventies recordings sourced from the vaults of British indie label Ember.
Top notch easy listening (courtesy of production wunderkind Mark Wirtz) rubs shoulders with light jazz featuring some of Britain s top names (Tony Crombie, Tubby Hayes, Tony Kinsey, Ken Moule and Harold McNair). Torch songs from divas Annie Ross and Lita Roza are juxtaposed with novelty instrumentals and sumptuously-arranged contributions by soul singer Carol Woods and pop duo Chad & Jeremy. Oh, and Fantastic Voyage have chucked in a funky shark attack, courtesy of Johnny Otis, for good measure.
Over 65 minutes the mood ranges from breezy, to exhilarating, to exotic, ending on a melancholic note, as we reluctantly stumble out of the Ember lounge and head for home.
