Although it bills itself as "a slammin' cinematic experience," the subtitle of Easy Tempo, Vol. 5 is a misnomer: more than half the tracks on this compilation are lifted from easy listening or lounge records instead of soundtrack albums. Despite this bit of truth-bending, all the tracks flow together nicely regardless of their origin because they all share a similar combination of slick production and insistent rhythms. Pretty much everything on this disc sounds like it could have been used as a nightclub's background music in a 1960s or 1970s European film.
