3 out of 5 stars LOSE THE SINGER AND YOU'D HAVE A GREAT INSTRUMENTAL COMBO..........2006-06-09

... this was a pretty cool lounge recording to listen to, although I don't think the lead singer's proper and prissy voice really fits in with their twangy retro sound ("Miss Lilly Banquette" would fit in better with a more pretentious outfit such as De-Phazz... her style is very much like Supreme Beings of Leisure's singer, although not as bitchy-sounding)... but ditch the singer altogether and you'd have something terrific here - this band was meant to be instrumental.

4 out of 5 stars A pretty good CD.......2005-09-08

This Cd has the perfect combination of slow-easy listening songs, to upbeat music you'll tap your foot to. I first heard of Spy vs Spy while watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and thats what made me want the CD. It would be a good CD to add to any music collection, and a great CD to play while your at home having a few drinks with some friends.

4 out of 5 stars Be a swinger, if you dare!.......2005-08-25

Combustible Edison were at the forefront of the "lounge music" revival of the 1990s. This was their wonderful first album. It is mostly instrumental, with a few vocals by chanteuse Miss Lily Banquette. It is a throwback to an earlier era, with a modern twist. It's a lot of fun, and if you are a fan of lounge music, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable lounge/swing music.......2003-12-21

This record amazed me. This is the kind of music you can hear on Pulp fiction's soundtrack. The instrumentation is briliant, retracing the atmosphere of the sixties. Keyboards, drums and vibraphone are all played fantastically. Vocals are cabaret-ish, not impressive but very pleasant. There's a Zappa influence in the music, but overall this is pure lounge music, a blend of jazz with cabaret. You can compare it to Pink Martini for example. Tracks 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12 are all very good, the others are weaker.

5 out of 5 stars Real Good.......2001-07-13

With feminine vocals in some of the music, lot's of key boards. Sophisticated & fun.
