Space Age Lounge Volume 3 - Love at First Flight
As hinted in a previous post, here is my latest custom made compilation! The theme for this one is jet travel in the late 60s / early 70s - which basically means lots of delicious strings, brass and soft bass lines in every form. This is the kind of music you would listen to when you jet-setted around the globe first class in a Boeing 747. For all you airline buffs out there, I have included a bit of history of Pan AM jet flight as a bonus track. The compilation clocks in at about 70 minutes, features 25 tracks and I have already tested out this compilation on some friends of mine and they love it - I hope you will too!
01. Yoshinori Sunahara - Theme from Take-Off
02. The Alan Tews Orchestra & Chorus - Let's Fly
03. Briamonte Orchestra - Rota Sul
04. Claude Bolling - Boeing 747
05. John Cacavas - Theme (from Airport 1975)
06. Dominic Frontiere - Embassy Row
07. Manfred Minnich - High In the Sky
08. Franck Pourcel & Orchestre - On Ne Vit Que Deux Fois
09. Don Innes - Lovers in the Park
10. Hartmut Kiesewetter - Fly With Me
11. Dominic Frontiere - Love Theme
12. Burnie Whilbley - Concorde
13. I. Martin & B. Dee - Right on Tune
14. John Cacavas - Main Title (from Airport 1975)
15. Piero Piccioni - Party Music (Alternate 2)
16. The Roger Webb Sound - Play Girl
17. Philippe Sarde - Samba Multicolore
18. Nelson Riddle - My Life
19. Roy Budd - Hurry to Me
20. Bill Geldard - City By Night
21. Werner Drexler - Velvet Piano
22. Duncan Lamont - Lazy Sunday
23. David Snell - Light and Easy
24. Yoshinori Sunahara - Theme from Landing
25. Bonus Track - Pan Am History

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

Hi,
I am just getting this at the moment, however it's not the fastest of servers, but it will be well worth the wait.
By the way, do you have volumes 1 and 2 of this available?
December 14, 2006 10:33 PM
I have volume 1 and 2, but I never posted them on my blog. Maybe I will do that later, not sure yet. I am currently working on other compilations that will be posted next year.
I uploaded it on WW Filedump because it's free. You don't need to enter any confirmation codes, no waiting lines like on RapidShare etc. If you know of any other file host that's better feel free to tell me.

I very much enjoyed this comp! Excellent selection and cool cover, it's totally up there with my Ultra-Cool lounge series. Makes me nostalgic for the brown-tinted everything in the 70s.
Please post 1 & 2! :) Thanks again and have a happy holidays!

Amazing and Beautiful!
I've had it since Early December of Last Year and keep going back to it as it is Amazingly Good!
Volumes 1 & 2 would certainly be appreciated (by those of us who are obsessive completists, especially), but Thanks So Much for Vol. 3!!!

Wow, great stuff. I have a great John Cacavas collection of James Bond tunes, but never saw him anyplace else. Would love to see your first two volumes...

Thank you for your kind comments!
Paul F, I have a library record with mostly John Cacavas crime jazz songs. It seems he did alot of library tracks back in the late 60s and early 70s.
Will try and post volume 1 and 2 of "Space Age Lounge" in a near future. I might post two new compilations first, not from the "Space Age Lounge" series.

WOW, Just webbing around when I got myself at your blog. What the hell, a Lounge compilation I didn´t know about. Looks great, the cover, the tracks... So I went to Ebay to try and buy a copy of it. Didn´t show up! Hell, it must be somewhere else. Let´s Google it & see what comes out! Nope, Nada, Not Good. Well, it must sell somewhere. Where then? Came back to your blog to find out there was a link to download it. That was a complete surprise... And a great compilation this is. Actually I downloaded all of them and are transfering them to WAV and copy them to CD. They will be a joy to listen in the car, beach, holidays, etc. May the joy you are bringing to others, be yours too! Obrigado from Portugal!
