The Youtube description reads "Warning: Do not take acid before viewing". He throws in some tapping for good measure. I don't like to use the phrase 'ahead of their time' but Mr Rey would be most-fitting of that term if anyone was. The other players on this album also have good works of their own. You either like it or you don't and if you do - it let's you focus on the music rather than the image of the performer. It's not about what the artists hair looks like, how much skin they are showing or what "controversial" (made for publicity) thing they have said. You know what I like about albums like this. #6 Soul Guitar by Kenny Burrell - Verve Records Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone and others took the talk box to the masses" "The first innovative use of the talk box by Pete Drake using a breakthrough technology that got its roots in country music was invented by Bill West, Country singer Dottie Wests husband. Here is an interesting comment by one Youtube watcher: This isn't space age pop, though it was from the same era as space exploration was influencing advancement in materials used for automobiles, technology and musical equipment. I always get my students to whom I show the talk box, to trace back from Slash to Peter Frampton. ![]() This album was one of the first I discovered in the realms of Mid Century Space Age music - Russ also lived in original home country of New Zealand for many years. Artwork coupled with music can do that and I love the 'plasticine-looking' Earth used for the cover art of this album. Sometimes one can see or hear something, or even be in a place, and get that strange familiar sense. his is most definitely a Youtube channel worth subscribing to! If you are looking for music that you have never heard, and are open to quirky instrumentals or retro muzak. I found this through the brilliant Youtube channel of Brian Hendricks ( Moldy Fig Records). I wouldn't have liked this when I was a very young rocker, but I like the quirkiness and playful spirit of a lot of the instrumental music from this time. #9 Al Caiola's Magic Guitars "Music For Space Squirrels" #10 Space Capades - an Ultra Lounge compilation Some interesting 'fusions' crept into originals being composed too! It is with this creative spirit in mind that I share these videos.Īs an introduction, let's start with the compilation that started it all for me. This would bring terrific results and allowed for growth of the students music appreciation. In my years of giving private music tuition I would always encourage my students to branch out of their comfort zone in terms of playing style, and try to play over music that was 'new to their ear'. ![]() My intention again is to introduce some music that you might not have heard, rather than provide a 'best of' list. so this list will explore a varied selection of mid-century artists that I have been listening to, though not all sticking to a strict "Space Age Pop" definition. There are a few genres of a similar vein - Exotica, Space Age Bachelor Pad/Production music. (I NEVER EVER thought I'd be listing a genre with 'pop' in the title but hell froze over!!) ![]() I hope you enjoyed checking out some of the Jazz in my last articleĪnother genre I have been listening to a lot of lately (to the annoyance of Sarah) is Space Age Pop ![]()
