boleskine house

"Initially I thought I'd be coming for a year or so, but then it got its hooks in me. I met my then wife at Boleskine House. My children were raised there - my son Malcolm was born in Boleskine House,” Malcolm said.
However, when Malcolm first arrived at Boleskine,
the 18th century lodge seemed far from hospitable.

music out of the moon

there is this swedish electronic-jazz duo called koop, and they made a fantastic record called “islands” in 2006 which you all heard on the radio. the record featured a song called “the moonbounce”.
harry ravel (1905-1958) was an american composer who recorded his record called “music out of the moon” in 1947 together with les baxter and samuel l. hoffman. so, on baxter’s record there is a intro in one song featuring some horns and a orchestra. the guys from koop took this little intro and made it something else...listen below

ron goodwin's "music in orbit"

ron goodwin
Nothing represents "space age pop" more literally than music with an explicit outer space theme, or "outer space exotica." Music in this genre, typically of the instrumental variety, was arranged for several LP record albums from the late 1940’s through the early 1960’s. In general, the most successful examples contain adventurous arrangements of music written especially for the album. Often, electronic instruments and other novel effects are present, and these sounds are integrated effectively into the music. The least successful albums typically have some electronically generated sounds, but are otherwise lackluster compositions or mundane, syrupy renditions of popular standards with celestial titles like "Star Dust" and "Out of This World." Whether the music in the record grooves is inspired or dated, the album cover jackets typically feature imaginative period artwork and are collectable in themselves.
