Memories Are Made of This
Memories Are Made of This was one of Ray Conniff's most commercially successful albums - and also one of his most distinctive. The songs are a typical assortment of hits from the previous decade, but Conniff remakes them in surprising and creative ways. The album is strictly instrumental in it's approach, with Conniff's chorus confined to the wordless vocalizing for which it is famous. Subtle Latin beats and playful arrangements transform 'Tammy' and 'Three Coins in the Fountain' into minor masterpieces; the listener may recognize the melodies, but Conniff's interpretations are refreshingly new. The repertoire smartly ties together traditional and teen pop to create a broadly appealing program of songs. Memories Are Made of This is simultaneously an infectiously fun album and an impressive display of inspired arrangements. Hallmark.
