Our Take

Buckle up, earthlings, because LES BAXTER's "Space Escapade" is taking us on a wild intergalactic ride through the cosmos. This album is an absolute trip from start to finish, blending exotic melodies with futuristic soundscapes in a way that's truly out of this world.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you're transported to a universe where anything is possible. The lush orchestration and otherworldly synths create a mesmerising atmosphere that you can't help but get lost in. It's like being constantly on the brink of a cosmic breakthrough, with each note pushing you further into the unknown.

LES BAXTER has truly outdone themselves with "Space Escapade", showing a masterful command of both traditional and futuristic musical elements. The way they seamlessly blend the past and the future is nothing short of genius, creating a sound that feels both retro and ahead of its time.

Tracks like "North Pole Rock" and "Saturday Night on Saturn" are instant classics, combining catchy hooks with spacey vibes that will have you dancing across the galaxy. And the album's closer, "Dawn on a Distant World", is a poignant reminder that even in the vastness of space, there's always a sense of hope and wonder.

So strap in, dear listeners, because "Space Escapade" is a sonic journey you won't want to miss. LES BAXTER has truly crafted a masterpiece that's as timeless as it is out of this world. Cheers to the space jams!

About the artist

Les Baxter

Les Baxter, the man, the myth, the exotica legend. With a career spanning over five decades, Baxter has made a name for himself as one of the most innovative and influential figures in the world of music. Known for his iconic lounge music sound and his pioneering use of different global influences, Baxter has truly left his mark on the industry. Born in Mexia, Texas in 1922, Baxter's musical journey began at a young age when he first started playing piano. He quickly developed a passion for music and went on to study at the Detroit Conservatory of Music before making his way to Los Angeles, where he would ultimately make his mark on the music scene. Baxter's unique blend of jazz, pop, and exotic influences has been praised by critics and fans alike. His 1951 album "Ritual of the Savage" is often cited as one of the defining works of the exotica genre, with its lush arrangements and exotic rhythms capturing the imaginations of listeners around the world. Despite his undeniable talent and influence, Baxter has remained somewhat of a mysterious figure in the music world. Known for his quirky personality and eccentric sense of style, Baxter has always marched to the beat of his own drum, unapologetically doing things his own way. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of exotica music or just looking to expand your musical horizons, Les Baxter is a name you need to know. With his timeless classics and unparalleled creativity, Baxter is a true musical icon whose influence will be felt for generations to come.
