That's What I Call Space-Themed And Yet Nowhere Near "Spage Age" Enough For Me Music

[Brainbomb]

So... we established Les Baxters Space Escapade was very space-themed, yet nowhere near "space (age)" enough.

Another one that is way too straight imo is Peter Rugolos Music from Outer Space:



Ames Brothers Destination Moon also has too little space for my taste:

So come on and share your disappointments where you expected theremines & echo effect overloads and instead got something fairly square.

Absolutely NO space age sounds at all on this one
You get Ken Nordine doing some narration - which is good as his voice sounds like honey
But the rest of the tracks are either classical or light easy
Meant to demonstrate the possibilities of the Living Stereo, I guess the cover art was intended to get stereo nuts worked up

Just picked this up for the lovely cover art.

For the record (pun!) I have been given two copies of this and love everything Ken Nordine did.

This has always been a personal favourite. Storyline adventure on one side & spacey soul covers on the flip.

Ron Goodwin, British obviously, space themed and far too heavy on the strings for my space-age tastes:





Cracking sleeve though, you'd be a fool not to pick up either the US or UK issue.

No space age music on this, but a gripping space age yarn:



And here are two that I'm after. The first is a bona fida space-themed space age pop classic:



Fantastica - Russ Garcia

And the second, while not overtly space-themed (apart from the cover), is somewhat reputed (especially in space-age mod flugelhorn circles):



Don Elliott - Music For The Sensational Sixities

Oh yeah and Folkways fans will delight in this LP of Sputnik noises from 1958! Yet another Folkways I don't have but would love, even though I doubt I'd play it a lot.



Voices of the Sateillites - far out baby!

I got that Russ Garcia somewhere if you fancy a trade. From memory it's not that spacey though.
