Space Escapade

Les Baxter

Les Baxter's Space Escapade (not re-issued since it's original release in 1958) is the holy grail to Baxterites and students of the Exotica genre; showcasing all of the eclecticism and sensual orchestral effects that are Baxter's remarkable trademark. This historic restoration of Space Escapade is complimented by an attractive special feature; a programme of extremely rare Les Baxter single A & B sides from the fifties; sweet and subtle gems never before re-issued in any context and present here on CD for the first time.
The Founding-Father of Exotica, Les Baxter's wild inventiveness has made him a hero to modern artists as diverse as Jello Biafra and Beck. Exotica became a hugely popular trend from the early fifties; with the onset of international jet travel, making it possible for middle-class Americans to simulate an authentic travelogue experience in the comfort of their suburban homes, "The Music of Les Baxter is never sad of gloomy ­ it is full of the adventure of life, the sounds of exotic lands and the free spirit of life close to nature".
