Space Age Lounge Volume 2 – Red Carpet Ride

Compilation: 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!

    Now this is the kind of compilation I like.

    I hope we don’t have to wait too long for Volume 3.

    Great music!

  • Chester

    Extra thanks for not using Rapidshare for the zip.

  • Chris

    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.

  • Peoplemover

  • jonjim1952

    Have been listening/enjoying volume 3. I believe volume 2 will be just as enjoyable. Thanks. And looking forward to volume 1. Great job!

  • Kirk D.

    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!

  • Chris

    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!

  • Kirk D.

    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.)

  • Pablo aka Che

    Thanks from Spain.

    Great mix

  • James Vaughan

    … great stuff- just what my morning needed!

  • Bpinto3

    burned it and have listened many times. Not only great feelings of nostalgia but great music composing and arrangements. I can listen to it on many levels.

  • Jem N’ Tonic

    I’m having problems downloading these comps. Are they still available?

  • http://www.ultraswank.net Chris

    Yes they are still available but the links for some of them are apparently dead, I need to take some time and upload what’s missing again someday. Meanwhile, I suggest looking for them on Soulseek.

  • Secondmouse02

    Why are all the downloads temporarily available ? I’d love to download a copy of this
