Reunited here on CD are the two masterpieces of Music from Outer Space, two legendary albums that bring you the music of whirling satellites, brilliant galaxies, streaming comets, mysterious planets, and the eerie reaches of space in-between, all in spectacular stereo sound.
Fantastica (1957) remains the gold standard by which all outer space exotica records are judged. It is an innovative musical suite of all outer space titles written by the imaginative composer/arranger Russ Garcia, who brilliantly orchestrated and conducted it using well-controlled unusual electronic effects. The effects were created by sound engineer Ted Keep, and include a sine wave generator that produces treble and bass tones of almost inhuman extremes. Russ Garcia hoped that his music would take listeners far, far from the earth... clear out of this world.
All that other-worldly, startling musical and dramatic life is also present in another remarkable album, Project: Comstock (1962). One of the world s most inventive arrangers, Frank Comstock, outdid himself, as the subject of space gave him literally light years of latitude to create a new kind of music. In addition to the normal complement of his orchestra, Comstock augmented it with electronic instruments seldom heard in recordings such as the Theremin and Novachord in an unprecedented musical journey.
Enjoy this science-fiction music that will take you on a realistic trip into space
