Here's a fair enough description, though leaning toward the chill of the chillout lounge genre:
http://www.raw42.com...=55&refer=raw42
Here's my brief synopsis. Lounge music is hard to describe because there's a lot of elements in it, and over times has taken on different forms. It was big in America during the 50's and 60's. A good example, without sounding too much like an old geezer, would be Henry Mancini who composed the music for the pink panther films and other Peter Sellers movies. Lounge music also adopted rhythms and melodies from Polynesia, this became known as tiki or exotica (Martin Denny is the perfect example of this.) Some lounge also had a spacey kinda feel, as it did reminisce of the atomic age that America was experiencing. Lounge made a big comeback in the US around the mid 90's mark - those who took on swing, which was really big during this time, usually gravitated toward the easier listening of lounge music and the (for lack of a better phrase) culture that surrounded it. As time went on and musical boundaries transgressed, especially with the explosion of heavier beats and embracing technology (synths and such) lounge music took on a newer more updated form that's too hard to put into words right now unless I were to write a bigger mess of a post than I already have. ;) Anyway - good example of a newer take on lounge music that helped generate an interest in the genre during the 90's is Combustible Edison. Overall lounge music can be a lot of fun, you can't help but see martinis and umbrella drinks dancing in your head when you hear it!
