Music reviews of Blooming Hits

Music Review: we've come to this
Rating: 5 Stars

I sure like that album cover!

When I was a young man who never seen a woman with any clothes on, well, let's just say I pulled this album off the shelf for more than just the music :)

Now for the music, it's mostly pretty good, mellow, orchestra-driven instrumental music. There's a couple good songs on here such as the version of "Penny Lane" that's remarkable to me for being pretty similar to the Beatles classic (minus the vocals).

Yes, the ULTIMATE instrumental that you've been hearing on classic rock radio for years is right here- "Love is Blue". What a beautiful song. No no, I take that back- what a MAGNIFICENT BEAUTIFUL SONG. There we go! This is the song that got me into instrumental music in the first place, along with ELO's "Fire on High".

With "Love is Blue", well, you can't bake a cake without icing...er, I mean cake. That's a poor way of me trying to describe how brilliant this song is. Just listen to it and try not to cry. Try it, you can't!

Alright, so the other songs come up a little short in comparison, but side two has some stronger material if you ask me, and not just because of "Love is Blue". There's some rather French (or Italian) themes that are rather pleasant.

Buy it now.

Description of Blooming Hits

We've been trying to license this album for years; it includes the ever-seductive 1968 hit `Love Is Blue', which has to rank as one of THE great instrumental hits of the '60s, and in fact was the first instrumental to top the charts since the Tornados' `Telstar' way back in 1962! The album also stayed on top of the charts for five weeks, and that we've finally been able to land it exclusively for our Collectors' Choice Music label is almost as big a surprise as the hit must have been for French arranger Paul Mauriat himself, whose previous three albums for Philips had been greeted with indifference by the record-buying public. But he sure did bottle lightning here; the melody alone is irresistible, but Mauriat's deft use of harpsichord, horns, strings and an ever so slightly rocking beat creates sweet ear candy for pop music lovers of all ages and stripes (and the album cover has a certain je ne sais quoi, too)! Also includes beautifully-arranged and orchestrated versions of `Somethin' Stupid'; `Penny Lane'; `This Is My Song'; `Seuls au Monde (Alone in the World)'; `Inch Allah'; `There's a Kind of Hush (All over the World)'; `Puppet on a String'; `Adieu a la Nuit (Adieu to the Night)', and `Mama'.
