Jolly - The Audio Guide To Happiness (Part 1)

Thanks Ivor for the staff pick - I can't stop listening to this. LOVE the retro vibe in the atmosphere of some songs.

Awesome

Jolly good?
Sorry had to say that , might give this a go!

Fan-friggin-tastic album

A case of better late than never, heuh... Anyway, great pick! Have this one since the spring of 2011 and it's had its fair share of spins in my car cd-player, which is always a good indication for me of the quality of a cd. The sometimes a bit poppy approach does work great with the complexity of some of the songs. I am definitely looking out for part two with Phase Three and Phase Four on them.

Better late than never indeed. Didn't come across it soon enough, otherwise I would have made the effort to put it up for awards. As it was, the lists were locked. Funny thing is, though, I wasn't overwhelmed when I first listened to it. It grew on me as the time went by.

Again, thanks for the kind words. Glad to see the word getting around!

This album is absolutely phenominal.

OM NOM NOM!

Jolly have moments of greatness, but there's way too much melodic monotony here for my own particular tastes. I do come back from time to time, though.

Both Audio guides are really nice albums. This album is better though I'd say. Part two is good but doesn't quite plateau as high as Part one does and Part one is far catchier overall than Part two.. Part one seems to have a bit more life in it while part two is kind of flat in some areas more so than part one. Both have a couple songs I tend to skip.

Awesome! .. just awesome!
