This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by The Ventures. Now Playing is an amazing album, racked with beauty.’Now Playing’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Exciting stuff.
Everybody’s Talkin’ which is my favorite is a truly The Ventures sounding song. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Last Tango In Paris is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Theme From Shaft - Okay, I just talked about depth. This track is full of harmonies and gets Now Playing off to a relaxing start. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track The Ventures ever produced. Georgy Girl is another favourite of mine. Theme, Airport 1975 - arguably the best track on Now Playing album. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: The Morning After, which shows, blatantly, how much The Ventures has evolved as a singer. Live and Let Die is astounding. The Pink Panther Theme is a bit different from The Ventures stereotypical stuff. Dueling Banjos is just simply stunning. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head is probably the highlight of the album. Nice and different song. Theme From Lawrence Of Arabia is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion.
