Space Age Lounge Volume 2 - Red Carpet Ride
Since many of you have requested my previous two volumes of "Space Age Lounge", I have decided to share them with you here. First off is volume 2, which is called "Red Carpet Ride". It is a tribute to the swank Hollywood premieres and jet set lifestyle of the 1960s. The music is mostly soft and easy going with lots of strings, vibes and flutes. The compilation features (as always) 24 lush tracks and clocks in at about 60 minutes. Enjoy and be sure to comment if you like it!

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.

Now this is the kind of compilation I like.
I hope we don't have to wait too long for Volume 3.
Great music!

Extra thanks for not using Rapidshare for the zip.

Oldvinyl, thank you! Volume 3 has already been posted, it was posted back in November 2006. You probably meant volume 1?
Chester, no problem. I hate Rapidshare as much as the next guy.

Sounds like a great compilation (I just finished downloading it.)
I've really been enjoying 'Love at First Flight' as well as 'Retro Shopping.' (on that one I like how you cleaned up the Kresge background music track. Wish that whole record sounded that good) Both comps have very thoughtful selections.
Thanks, and nice blog!

Kirk! I've visited your blog before, nice place! I really would like to get my hands on that Chevrolet rip you got there. I got another one called "Chevrolet - Music from Building a Better Way" from 1974 that is also very groovy!

Until now I wasn't aware that the Chevy links were dead. I'll re-upload for you. I'm glad you said something. I'll let you know when it's ready.
(Yeah, I have that other one you mentioned and it's pretty great.)
