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.

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 [...]

Space Age Lounge Volume 1 – Ultra Swank Living

Here it is, the compilation that started everything. This compilation was actually compiled a few months before I started this place back in september 2005 and I decided to keep the name Ultra Swank for this site. This compilation was the first compilation I had done in many years, so it is not as solid [...]

Retro Shopping Volume 1 – Music to Buy Toasters By

Since it is summer and very hot outside (at least here in Sweden), many people prefer to stay indoors in a temperature-controlled environment. So why not spend some time at your local mall? This is a exclusive custom made compiltion for this website, to celebrate the mood and feel of the American malls from the [...]

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.

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.

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

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.)

Here's a new link...

Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s. We mainly focus on the design, architecture and the lifestyle of the happy-go-lucky and space-age-living mentality of that era – but also on the music and movies that takes you back to happier times. Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
