Review of Persuasive Percussion

First produced in 1959, this is the pimp daddy of lounge music albums, the Velveeta cheese of bachelor pad soundtracks, the acquired taste that will make some grin maniacally and others wince in pain. I personally love it.
It's hard to take life seriously when you're listening to the frenetic, horn-happy Enoch Light version of "Brazil", the incredibly tacky "Japanese Sandman", the oddly devious "In The Mood for Love", or just about any track on this CD.
PS: It also makes for dandy freeway driving music.
