Music reviews of Vol. 1-2-Infinity in Sound
Music Review: "It sounds like what James Bond's dentist must play in his waiting room"
Rating: 4 Stars
"The music (...at the bar...) isn't Martin Denny tonight. It's someone named Esquivel. It sounds like what James Bond's dentist must play in his waiting room. I try to relax, enjoy the food and let the ludicrous sound wash around me. After two or three more drinks, Esquivel is really starting to grow on me." (Quoted from Sandman Slim written by Richard Kadrey)
Before reading this I had never heard of Esquivel or his music. But after reading the description - It sounds like what James Bond's dentist must play in his waiting room - my curiosity was piqued. I went to Amazon and typed in Esquivel. To my surprise, the musician was real. So I chose to look at Vol 1-2-Infinity in Sound. The first selection on the album "Softly, as in a morning sunrise" was a familiar and greatly appreciated melody. So I played the short piece of the song that Amazon let's you sample. I had to hear what this beautiful melodic tango written by Sigmund Romberg and Roger Hammerstein II sounded like with a 'James Bond' beat.
First, Kadrey has to have made one of the accurate descriptions in the history of description. Second, I really, really liked this version. And it didn't even take one drink.
This is not original music or modern music. It's music written by famous (or not so famous) songwriters and then reinterpreted by Esquivel.
I don't begin to think that everyone is going to like this however if you are a person who like something more than top 40, you should give this a listen. You might find that it appeals to you. Check out the samples of familiar recognizable songs that Amazon lets you sample. You might find you enjoy Esquivel.
FYI - If you are a fan of horror/fantasy/SciFi, you might want to investigate Richard Kadrey. Sandman Slim would be an excellent first choice as an introduction into this author's writing. I'm enjoying the book immensely.

Description of Vol. 1-2-Infinity in Sound
Esquivel is really hard to describe. His Space Age Lounge music wowed audiences in the '50s and '60s and made a big resurgence in the 1990s. Our two-on-one CD reissue of both volumes of Infinity In Sound corrects the flaws of the previous CD reissue. Ours contains all 24 tracks and in the correct playing sequence. His legion of fans will want to complete their collection with this CD. Wounded Bird. 2009.Dance & DJ CDs
