Music reviews of Space Escapade
Music Review: Iconic Cover Art - Irrelevant Music
Rating: 5 Stars
One look and I had to have it! Most renown as the father of the "Exotica" movement of the `50s and `60s (which to my ear sounds like musical Roger Corman) Les Baxter's Space Escapade is camp classic - infantile space warp melodies wrapped in just enough self-aware cheesiness to induce zero-gravity vomitus. However, the "music" is of little concern - the cover art is what makes Escapade's Tomorrowland inspired future-schlock experience so kitsch perfect that it's a wonder Hugh Hefner never made it to the moon. Brilliant!
Description of Space Escapade
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1958 album from 'the founding father of Exotica'. Space Escapade (not re-issued or digitalized in the half century since it's original release) is the holy grail to Baxterites and students of the Exotica genre; showcasing all of the eclecticism and sensual orchestral effects that are Baxter's remarkable trademark. The historic restoration of Space Escapade is complimented by an attractive special feature; a program of extremely rare Les Baxter single A & B sides from the '50s; sweet and subtle gems never before re-issued in any context and digitalized here for the first time.
