WEAK!!!

"This was a very disappointing CD from Water Music Records...The album concept is totally unoriginal--Uhh, Hello!! "Black Martini" already has a martini glass on the cover!! Also, the songs on this set do very little for the "Dinner at Eight" theme. Lemongrass' "I Love You" and ORG Lounge's "Less Ugh!" are the only reasons why I bought this CD, and even they get boring after repeated listenings. Julia Messenger's "Telepathy" is good, but by the time you get to it, you're so uninterested in the CD that it falls short. The only songs that fit the concept of "Dinner at Eight"--which I'm assuming is supposed to be piano-laced music with a jazz flava'-- are Slowpho's "Before I Wake" and Ohm Guru's "Please Please Please." Buy at your own risk or if you're just trying to impress dinner guests with your "pseudo-riche" music collection. And y'all thought I would never write a bad review for a Water Music Records comp CD."
