 Rating:  - Music for TV Dinners is greatI have been looking for this music collected since about 1969 when I started first grade. I loved the music of the school educational movies, and I never knew there would be some other nuts who would love it enough to put it together on disc. My kids love it too. My wife, alas, doesn't get it, but puts up with it out of love of family. Great for breaking tension when it's time to clean the house. Just pop it on and say to the kids with a hokey smile, "Hey guys, let's clean the house! It'll look swell!" Everyone will chip in and do their part thanks to this bouncy soundtrack! Rating:  - Wrap my World in Foil and Heat It UpMusic for TV Dinners is a compilation of music composed by artists working for KPM, a British firm that developed a niche for providing music scores for commercial and industrial films during the 1950's and 1960's. I purchased this CD so I could liven up my home videos by adding some campy music tracks to them. The CD is great and while you may not be able to listen to the disk in a single sitting, listening to a few tracks at a time can immediately transport you back to childhood days and the scratchy 1950's/1960's era educational films they were still showing in my grade school when I was growing up in the 1970's. After loading this disk on to my I-pod, I discovered it adds a certain surreal quality to my morning commute- nothing quite ... Read More: Rating: - CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!I LOVE this CD. It's charming, bubbly, campy and just giddyly nostalgic. I want more, much more of this. It makes great backgound music and is recognizable to any of us that watched television in the 1950's and 1960's and watched Ren&Stimpy. It's really the 1950's sound that I crave. I'm giving this CD as gifts. I LOVE IT! PLEASE, SIR, MAY I HAVE SOME MORE TV DINNERS. Rating: - Awesome BuyThis item is great, I dunno why I find the 50's era so facinating. Is it the cars....? Nope. Is it the stylish appliances? Nope. I know....its gotta be the music. Pop this CD in and prepare to be transported back 50 years. Some tracks make you feel like you are in one of those vintage infomercials, or even move you to go and bake a cake for your perfect family. If you are a fan of this type of vintage music, I recommend you go and buy this one. You shouldn't be disappointed. Rating:  - Entertainingly dated corporate music (3.5 stars)You gotta love an album where every song sounds like "Ren & Stimpy" music. One word comes to mind when listening to this music - industry. This music was prepackaged by industries for industries. It was most likely used in (but not limited to) commercials and early educational films (the really campy ones). Viewed today, this music is an entertaining slice of camp. Its so surrealistically dated, you can't help but love it. It conjures up images of middle class Americans sitting around the dinner table enjoying perfect food - you know, the "Leave It to Beaver"-style 50s that never existed. There isn't music like this anymore quite frankly. Even though they weren't made to have artistic merit, they are incredibly unique. Hey - hip hop producers, ... Read More: |
