The Chill Lounge
- Across My Mind-Giacomo Bondi (A spacey instrumental, fit for late nights on a smooth jazz station.)
- Yesterdays-Cal Tjader (A sly, slinky melody for vibraphone; musty in a good sense.)
- Storm In A Teacup-Susan McKeown & The Chanting House (A haunting Celtic number, fit for acknowledging difficult times. Also recommended: "Ce Leis e?")
- Walk Awhile-Fairport Convention (Spirited fiddling and vocals; a "Full House" album highlight.)
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen-John Tesh & The Christmas Symphony Orchestra (A stately rendition for brass.)
- Ponte Pa'L Monte-William Cepeda (An infectious blend of brass, guitar, and vocals.)
- Set Adrift On Memory Bliss-P.M. Dawn ("Set Adrift..." samples Spandau Ballet's "True" effectively, without letting it overpower the song. Also recommended: "To Serenade A Rainbow," "A Watcher's Point Of View," and "Reality Used To Be A Friend Of Mine.")
- You To Me Are Everything-The Real Thing (I hear why this was such a big British R&B hit in 1976; vocally and instrumentally, "You To Me..." shows how to execute a well-worn lyrical theme and catch the listener's ear.)
