Here’s a brilliant, witty & very enjoyable 5CD Collection, designed to guide the ‘Come-Dine Generation through a myriad of Dinner Party soundtrack anxieties! Cunningly selecting the sounds to the 5 (yes, FIVE!) stages of Dinner Party stress, these tracks will smooth the path & distract and charm your guests equally. ‘101 Dinner Party Songs’ will make a perfectly timed gift (to friends, relatives, party hosts or even yourself!) as we enter 'the' Dinner Party season... and beyond!

First up is ‘Pre-Dinner’ with some snappy, fun selections that’ll ring a few bells - standouts are The Stranglers Waltzinblack aka Keith Floyd’s Theme, Groove Armada’s At The River, Fleetwood Mac Albatross & Booker T & The MGs Soul Limbo - all taken from recent M&S food ads... Other tip-top selections include Mark Murphy & The Louis Van Dyke Trio The Lady Is A Tramp, Louis Prima & His New Orleans Gang Banana Split For My Baby, Fats Domino Jambalaya (On The Bayou), Eve Boswell’s lovely Pickin’ A Chicken...

Lovely!

‘Main Course’(CD3) is a cool but tasteful journey through the likes of Paolo Nutini Last Request, Coldplay Trouble, Norah Jones Don’t Know Why, Moby Natural Blues, Massive Attack Teardrop, Athlete Wires & Air All I Need... Tasty!

‘Dessert’ gives space to breath & exhale to beautiful, ethereal sounds from Brian Eno Another Green World, Röyksopp Eple, Sigur Rós Hoppípolla, Michael Nyman The Heart Asks Pleasure First, Ennio Morricone Chi Mai, Jean Michel Jarre Oxygène (Part IV)... The perfect counter-indigestion selection!

‘After-Dinner’, the final (5th) CD, cuts loose a little with a few tasty beats, a soulful shuffle & a nod to the dancefloor(albeit, with a very full stomach!).Great tracks from Lily Allen Not Fair, Kelis Milkshake, Labi Siffre I Got The...
