Modern Music: Exploring Space Age lounge music and stereo demonstration records
Records designed during a time of post-war optimism, our early forays into outer space and the beginning of high-fidelity stereophonic sound.
In this episode of Modern Music, we take another tour of the more offbeat section of my vinyl collection with a look at the eccentric world of atomic-era space-themed lounge music and stereo demonstration records.
Designed to backdrop your new casual lifestyle in your fabulous new modern home of the 1950s, these are space-themed lounge records produced during the atomic era, a time of post-war optimism, technological advances, our early forays into outer space and the beginning of high-fidelity stereophonic sound.
