Ting Ting Ting-A track from "Wild Stereo Drums" by Les Baxter. (Remastered) Nobody seems to mention this track in any of the Les Baxter tributes. Not much into the video thing, but when it comes to audio, whip out your best headphones and listen. It took months to restore this track. Originally released: Capitol Records 1961. + Informações

This is a tribute to arranger, conductor and composer Les Baxter. Some of his work is ahead of its time, or perhaps from out of time. Take an imaginary flight into space. He certainly had an influence on how the music sounded in popular and film music. He was able to master many different styles. Les Baxter was popular during the "Decade of High Fidelity Sound" (the 1950's). The first major release was his 1947 production of the music of Harry Revel. "Music Out Of The Moon" was an album of 78 RPM records featuring a small jazz ensemble, a chorus, a piano, a novachord keyboard, and a theremin. (The theremin was an electronic instrument invented in the early 1900's that produced eerie sounds by the placement of hands in close proximity to but not touching the apparatus). The theremin was played by Dr. Samuel Hoffman, known for playing on the classic movie soundtrack for "The Day The Earth Stood Still." There are no theremins in Space Escapade, but this elevated music is serenely calming on a trip through outer space. There is even a robot. There was a practice of adding extra sounds on the mono versions that were not on the stereo records, a trend that was to continue with other artists--including The Beatles.. + Informações
