Title: Does anyone listen to "lounge"?
Post by: CRAFTY on March 28, 2005, 12:55:54 AM: I went to this restaurant the other day where they constantly played lounge, and I have to admit that I really liked it. I never bothered checking out some lounge music, but after hearing those songs, I'm really interested.

Can some of you give me advice on good lounge artists/compilations/...?

Post by: CRAFTY on March 28, 2005, 01:01:13 AM: Yeah, I guess you can compare it to "smooth jazz". Also, 95% of the songs I heard were instrumental...it's that type of music you could play during a romantic dinner.

Post by: Kill on March 29, 2005, 03:37:25 AM: I´m really not big into that stuff, but I can recommend Thievery Corporation too, they´re nice. Check out Zero 7 too, or maybe Kruder & Dorfmeister. whiteboy mentioned Cafe del Mar, a friend of mine is into it, i barely know it myself tbh. Air is a good band too, blending strongly into the trip-hop genre (which Thievery Corporation does too though, and lounge and trip-hop can sometimes be very close anyways)...a band I just discovered is Sia, they got a lil R´n´B twist to many of their songs. But I´m not too versed in this genre, so I´m not exactly sure if this is what you´re looking for, but it should go in the right direction...

Post by: Eddie G. on March 29, 2005, 08:47:00 PM: There's also some funky ass smooth jazz. If that's what you're looking for, peep Richard Elliot, Rick Braun, and Boney James.
