It's tricky.

Just did a major revision to the Audio Lounge by ripping out the section with the theme songs recorded in Real Audio.

The new player is Flash based and the music is not only higher quality, but there is more of it.

About the Geoff Love Orchestra from Wikipedia:

Geoff Love (4 September 1917, Todmorden – 8 July 1991, London) was a British easy-listening orchestra leader.

His father was a mixed race American born guitarist and dancer, and his mother an actress. As a child Love began to learn to play the violin but then switched to the trombone. He played with Jan Ralfini's band and then embarked on a solo career before military service during World War II in the King's Royal Rifles. After the war he played with Harry Gold.

He recorded at least two albums with Shirley Bassey in 1959 and 1960.

Love also recorded under the name Manuel & The Music of The Mountains in which guise he released many an opus on EMI's Studio 2 Stereo record label. He released another album on MFP named Glad with Love - Mrs Mills and Geoff Love singaglong together - with studio audience participation. Mrs. Mills was an insider piano player in the 1960s, who became famous on disc, radio and television.

In the 1970s he appeared with the singer Max Bygraves in the Thames Television music show (for ITV) SingalongaMax.

Also in The (early) 1970s, under the name 'Mandingo', Love worked with session musicians to produce a lively approximation of African rhythms according to a plan by record company executives intended to capitalise on a surge of interest in African music.

From 4.bp.blogspot.com:

I recently heard the studio disco band, The Wonderland Band for the first time when I came across their 1979 twelve-inch record Paradise Island. This disco cut was originally included on their solid 1979 LP, Wonder Woman which was produced by Morrie Brown. Most of the group's cuts were disco versions of superhero style themed songs. That being said, I'm unsure how the "Paradise Island" track fits into all of that, however there is definitely something about the song, possibly the fact that listening to it makes me think of a outdoor disco party on a tropical beach somewhere, that I can't seem to get enough of. Regardless, as the days grow colder as we enter the fall, here is a song to remind you of those warmer disco nights a few months back!


About the song 1da Woman by Tricky from Wikipedia:

Tricky (born Adrian Thaws 27 January 1968) is an English  musician. He is noted for a whispering sprechgesang lyrical style. As a producer and a musician, he is noted for a dark, rich and layered sound. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black England, particularly in his fusion of rock and hip hop, high art and pop culture. His debut album Maxinquaye was nominated for the Mercury Prize and voted Album of the Year by NME Magazine.

Tricky has also acted in various films. He appeared in a significant supporting role in the 1997 Luc Besson film The Fifth Element, playing the right-hand man Michael to evil businessman Mr. Zorg. He reportedly put off actor Gary Oldman (who played Zorg) because, while he had his back to the camera, he was eating a Twix bar, to Oldman's anger ("He's facking eatin' a Twix!"). He also appears briefly in both the 1997 John Woo directed Face/Off (his single "Christiansands" is also played during his brief cameo) as well as the 2004 Olivier Assayas film Clean, playing himself, and had a large role in the music video for "Parabol/Parabola" by Tool.

About Carol Medina from Weblo.com:

Pop singer and songwriter Carol Medina began her professional recording career with the release of "The Tears I Cry." The debut single hit store shelves in 1989. Throughout the '90s, Medina completed many other singles and a full-length album. Her works resulted in a number of hits and a couple of nominations for the coveted Juno Award in Canada.

Carol Medina was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1966. Even before she hit her teens, the young beauty was stepping onto the stage as both an actress and a singer, many times combining both talents at one time. In the beginning of the '80s, her family decided to make a big move to Canada. Medina, not yet 20, went along. She found steady work there in the theater. She already had plenty of experience in performing when, a short time later, she began working and touring with the USO. It was around this time that she teamed up with songwriter James Collins.

In 1989, Medina released a debut single under the Marigold Records label. A few first-class singles later, and she landed a deal with Quality Records, where she recorded tunes like "Had a Dream," "You Never Done It Like That," "Let the Music Play," "Tell Me You Love Me," "I'll Just Say Goodnight," "Wait 'Til My Heart Finds Out," and "You Don't Know (Where My Lips Have Been)."

Carol Medina finally completed a debut album, Secret Fantasy, in 1995, also on the Quality Records label, which later folded. The offering contains a number of original songs, as well as some favorites made popular by other artists.
