Gaz-Eta 80 | Polish music magazine

Velvet Elevator’s music on “At the Movies” can be summed up in a flash – music to drink wine to. But wait, you can also reminisce about black-and-white celluloid classics or have a bath to. The record is broken up into three, easy-to-swallow sections – The 50’s, The 60’s and The 70’s – each representing a decade of movie music. The 50’s highlight is “Fly Me to the Moon”, while The 60’s have a handful of numbers that are quite good – “Desafinado” and “The Look of Love” amongst those. My favourite in the bunch comes from The 70’s sub-section. There’s nothing quite more telling than the “Theme from The Loveboat”. The corniness of the vocals, the orchestrated lifts and the finger-snapping theme make this a highlight of this cruise through movie magic.
