The last of my Enoch Light themed posts, this album is perhaps Light's most notorious, but also his most celebrated work. Enoch Light & The Light Brigade take their sound innovations up out of the stratosphere with tripped out interpretations of Bach, the Beatles and Burt Bacharach songs featuring Enoch's favorite new toy, the Moog Synthesizer. And just when you thought it couldn't get any cooler, the Free Design do all the background vocals. Here's an entertaining liner note excerpt from the back cover:
"In this new album, Enoch Light explores the new age of Supersound. You will hear all of today's musical and electro-musical discoveries that have sky-rocketed stereo into a new, exciting dynamic direction: Far out and Light years away.
This "Spaced Out" record spearheads the entire sound spectrum. With side trips into some turned-on tonal zones. Like the mind-bending Moog, electric harpischords and flipped out flugelhorns.
The songs we recorded are all established hits covering a period of more than 250 years: From Bach to Bacharach and the Beatles.
We believe you'll enjoy the hip harmonics we adapted for these familiar melodies; then recorded with the most advanced electronic instruments.
The result, we think, is a total in-put of spectacular stereo reproduction.
Lift Off!"
Ripped from my original vinyl LP using EAC's .WAV editor and compressed to .mp3 @ 320vbr with dbpoweramp and LAME 3.97. Enjoy: http://www.mediafire.com/?o4jc7khi6558w4i

Gotta say I get more jealous of you all in the USA and your amazing finds, do you usually have to pay a lot for them or are they thrift? shop finds. Anyway a pleasure as ever to have another new record to listen to before we have the extra long weekend here in not so sunny England.
ReplyDeleteFortunately for us Americans, these Enoch Light LPs are typically dirt cheap because there isn't a high demand for these old exotica/easy listening LPs. Picked this one up for $2.90 USD. But nonetheless, I'm really glad you're digging these albums, they're so much fun to listen to. Thanks for dropping by!
