Detailed Description
Les Baxter
Space Escapade
CD
Les Baxter is regarded by some as the founding father of lounge music, and his wild inventiveness has made him a hero to modern artists as diverse as Jello Biafra and Beck. And now his half-century old album, "Space Escapade", which has not been previously re-issued or digitalized is finally available on CD. To confirmed Baxterites and students of the lounge genre, this album showcases all of the eclecticism and sensual orchestral effects that are Baxter's remarkable trademark. This long overdue restoration of Space Escapade is complemented by an attractive special feature; a program of extremely rare Les Baxter single A & B sides from the fifties; sweet and subtle gems never before re-issued in any context and re-mastered here for the first time! A rare treat indeed! - 30 in all!
