The Space Cadets - Lost On Earth EP



Here's the debut album of The Space Cadets, for me their best work. Ripped from vinyl at 320kbps with very good sound, hope you enjoy!!! The Space Cadets were one of the most inovative bands in the rockabilly genre from the mid to late 90's. They perfectly captured traditional rockabilly, neo-rockabilly, surf, ska and 1950's rock n' roll and wrapped it up in a crazy space theme.

The band features well known English rockabilly verterans Mouse Zinn on vocals(Red, Hot & Blue), Mark Harmon on guitar (Restless), Ricky Brawn on drums(the Big Six, Starlighters, Johnny Bach) and Anders Janes on upright bass. Laden with double entendres and space-isms, their songs are varied enough to appeal to a broad audience, yet keep their 50's authenticity.

Bernie Krause Gorillas in the Mix



This is a classic. Before digital sampling became the norm, Bernie Krause pioneered it all, with his environmental recordings, with hydrophone technology and technique, with his superb ear for pitch and timbre, and with his ideas for meshing their occurrence in natural and animal sounds with human-made music. Kids love this AND adults do too. Bernie Kraus's "Gorillia's in the Mix" may be saturated with "punny" names, but the sheer wonder occurs when you realize that EVERY SINGLE SOUND you hear is an ANIMAL--there are NO HUMAN SOUNDS or instruments on any of these remarkable cuts! My favorite (listed incompletely here) is "I'm In Trouble, Turkey Corwin" (to the tune of Paula Abdul's smash hit, "Straight Up" which came out a year before). A Parrot from the San Diego Zoo takes the vocals to the swishing tails of shrimp, the smacking lips of horses, the ruffling of turkey feathers and 30 other animal sounds! This is NOT one of those gimicky animal records like "Meowy Christmas by Jingle Cats". This is exotica taken to it's higest level - naturally. This was played at SeaWorld for years over the pa.

Frankie Laine - Gunfight At The O.K. Corral



Popular vocalist of the '40s and '50s who successfully straddled the line between Jazz vocalist, crooner and Western singer. After his initial success as crooner and Jazz vocalist in the mid-to-late '40s, Laine switched gears when he signed up with Columbia Records and began recording Country & Western Pop. Laine's husky baritone was a perfect match for tracks like 'Rawhide', 'Gunfight At The OK Corral', 'Sixteen Tons', 'High Noon' and other like-minded audio treats. While sales remained good in the States, his popularity increased in the UK and Europe, who adored his Easy Listening musical tales of the dusty roads of the Old West and the aching pains of a broken heart. Good stuff here y'all.

Kava Kon Tiki For the Atomic Age



Kava Kon music is a unique blend of exotica, mood music, spaghetti western, electronica, cocktail lounge, bossa nova, and 1950s/60s b-movie soundtracks. Perfect music for tiki bars, cocktail parties, and/or people looking for an exotic getaway. It's an amazingly fantastic wonderful nearly supernaturally great neo-exotica album. One of the best. It sails through exotic waters of hypnotic sound and glides past sensual dream islands radiating musical extasy for your mind. "High" lights are "Cherry Rain" and "Palace of the Tiger Woman". Think of neo psyche exotica and you have it.

1. Atomic Clock 2 Chinese Surfer 3 Cherry Rain 4 Turkish Honey 5 The Exotic traveler 6 The Killing River (Without the Sun, Moon, or Stars) 7Behind the Sun 8 Palace of the Tiger Women 9 Pacifica 66 10 Polynesia Poppie 11 Zero Gravity Lounge 12 Journey Home

Surf Zombies Something Weird



This record was recorded using state of the art equipment from the late 50's and early 60's. Feel the heat of the tubes from the amps as these boys rev up and rock. Lose yourself in the reverb, but don't forget to come up for air! You may be intoxicated by the savage jungle rhythms, the twirling swirling tremolo of the dueling guitars. Hotrod culture fans, tattoo junkies, punkers, the power pop crowd, all fans of great guitar work and everyone interested in all things cool should enjoy the vibes! Excellent trad surf, not horror surf – great cover – tho.

1. El Funebre (The Hearse) 2. Dead Man's Alley 3. I Fell In Love With A Teenage Vampire 4. Road Rage 5. 50cc 6. The High Rip 7. The Buzzard Hop 8. Something Weird 9. Don't Let the Admiral Out 10.

Sharp Five Paradise a Go Go//Four Nice Guys 2fer



Sharp Five are a mid-60's Japanese five-piece instrumental combo, started up after the Ventures' guitar instro-rock took that country by storm. Fronted by drummer Munetaka Inoue, these guys were apparently a big deal in their home country, and even (like the Ventures) had their own brand of guitar, the Guyatone Sharp Five model. It was their mention is a book on Japanese guitars that brought 'em to my attention, although it's taken nearly a decade to get a chance to actually hear what they sound like.

So what do they sound like? Well, if ya' likes the Ventures circa '65-66, this band is for you.

Billy Strange Strange Country



Born in the "backwoods" of Long Beach, California, Billy Strange had a completely different take on country picking. While Strange spent his formative years on the "hillbilly" circut, his musical arrangements for the likes of Dean Martin and Nancy Sinatra infused his instrumental music with a sound we could only start to describe as "lounge-a-billy" from a strange country. This album is a hidden treasure, from start to finish. It's acoustic instrumental music that is folky (but not overly so) with a definite lounge twist. Very unique, toe-tapping, finger-snapping music. Makes you want to drink a Manhattan while sitting on a horse. Hipsters in the mood for a change of pace can't go wrong here.
