Space Age Lounge Volume 3 – Love at First Flight

Compilation: 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

    Heya nighteye,

    i’ll already gave you my rating for this amazing comp in private, but for the record i will state openly in public that this truly deserves a 10/10 rating. Great stuff! ;-)

    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?

  • Chris

    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.

    Totally Fabulous ! A perfect mix. Would love to hear 1 + 2. Great cover, too !

  • Lee

    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!!!

  • Paul F.

    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…

  • Chris

    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.

  • MenuMate

    great compilation, i love your cover art, also love the embedded cover art on a couple of the tracks. well done.

    I would love to see some more cover art for other tracks, perhaps the next compilation you do you could create a cover for each track??

    thanks a heap from Australia

    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!

    Glad you enjoy it Zepp! :D

  • C.K. Dexter Haven

    Chris, as much as I enjoyed “Voice From a Photograph”, I have to say that “Love at First Flight” is your best effort. Every song perfectly fits the mood; I feel like I’m back in the early 1970s every time I listen to this. Great job as always, but this one is my all-time favorite! More like this, please!

    You’ve also gotten me interested in the stewardessess of this era, as well as your beloved Sweden…thanks!

  • patetlao

    Thank You very much, Chris!

    Have You TWA’s or Pan AM’s flight music?

    Återigen, tack!

  • http://www.ultraswank.net Chris

    I have some Pan Am commercials and music, but they are most likely from the 70s and 80s. Also have another record with Qauntas (I think) inflight music. I have not listened to the Karminsky compilation, but it looks good!

  • Erik

    Gracias , muy buen material que incluso es dificil de conseguir en tiendas especializadas.

    Muy bueno!!!!

    Gracias Erik, me alegra que te guste!

    Hello fellow Jet Setter,
    What an exceptional compilation!
    My name is Saara, and I host a variety show in New York called “Mama D's Arts Bordello”. We showcase storytellers, burlesque, music, trivia contests, and comedy.
    The theme for our upcoming show on Feb. 5th is “The Jet Set”.
    So your website added some inspiration for our in-flight entertainment at Parkside Lounge!
    Thanks–and keep living the high life!

  • http://www.ultraswank.net Chris

    Cheers! Hope that the music found on this compilation will out for the “Jet Set” radio themed show. That's what it's for!

    Hey, “swank” should be confirmed. Where is It?

  • http://www.ultraswank.net Chris

    It is unavailable until further notice. When I moved to Spain I couldn’t bring all my things so I currently don’t have the original archive and artwork available. I suggest you look on Soulseek.

  • briviba

    А-а понятно. Спасибо. В Испанию? Значит на пенсию вышли.) Удачи.

    А альбом я ваш нашёл, он есть в Сети, на мегааплоаде.
