Title: Lousy and crude attempt to capture a genre............
Review: This is a desparately weak collection of clumsily produced kitsch wannabe pap. A couple of the instrumental only tracks nearly work (hence the generous two stars), but the vocal tracks are truly lousy. Really disappointing if you are a looking for any subtlety - best look somewhere else. Try Michel Legrand, Francis Lai, a bit of Mancini perhaps....the originals are unbeatable, so why try to get anywhere near them with this dire pastiche? Caveat Emptor!Update: It's now 9/2006 and it still sounds grim!
