Synopsis

Album Description

The Passover Lounge, a completely unique album featuring all new renditions of Passover classics. Craig Taubman joins up with some new friends on 14 tracks that deliver a whole new sound for the Holiday. Building on the success of 2005's Hanukkah Lounge album, The Passover Lounge remixes well-known songs to a chillout, instrumental groove-line. It then adds in more of Taubman himself, as his signature vocals lend a familiar touch to a fresh concept. The Passover Lounge will be the latest in Craig 'N Company's line of 'Instrumental Jew Age Music' that has introduced some of these classic holiday tunes, and Mr. Taubman himself, to a whole new audience. Youngsters and hipsters, old-time fans and fresh faces alike are certain to find something to like about The Passover Lounge, as Taubman provides an unexpected answer to the age-old question, 'Why is this night different from all others?'

CD Reviews

Wow

Stephen Podsednick | Los Angeles, CA USA | 03/16/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Such a cool album. A lot of the tracks have this kind of Radiohead/Depeche Mode feel to them. Which, when you combine that with traditional Passover songs, sounds like some kind of other-wordly musical language. That guy who does some of the voice-over actually makes your skin tingle, his voice is so deep and resonant. And Craig's voice is smooth and lends itself easily to this style.

Very much recommended!"

One of a kind!

"I have loved all of the Celebrate Series compilations, but the Passover Lounge breaks new ground. It is creative and bold music the redefines the Passover experience. Get it...and, you'll get it!"

Real Good Stuff

"Craig Taubman has always been one of my fave singers. And I'm usually skeptical when my favorites try something totally different. But, this album actually works. The track 'Dayenu' is a great example of why. It keeps the traditional melody but turns it into this dance-pop fusion song that sounds like Radiohead with religion. A great idea carried out with skill and style by Taubman."
