Hello, Music fans and welcome to another Lightseeker Music show; this time, though, I'm switching things up just a bit and delivering some freshly baked, oh so aromatic, Ultra Lounge music from some of the best new artists in this much overlooked genre of music. Remember the opening themes for the "Austin Powers" movies? Ultra Lounge! and the Peter Sellers film "The Party" from the sixties or the original "Casino Royale" also from the late sixties? Bang! Ultra Lounge again!

Now, some people have come under the mistaken idea that Ultra Lounge and Exotica, another name for the same type of music, are nothing more than Muzak, you know elevator music; these peoople would be very wrong. True Ultra Lounge or Exotica have a distinctive beat and flavor to them, that make them, much more, refined and juicy than mere Muzak;
plus, all of the material you hear on this show are 100% originals by the artists who created them.

So, on with the show! First off you'll notice that the first tune up is really Electronica but it has an Ultra lounge feel to it so I used it to open up the podcast; It's entitled:

"When the Robo-B Boys Just Kill It" By The Polish Ambassador and can be found along with the rest of his new cd, "Fantasmal Farm" at his website, Here

Next up is, "Cocktails in Space" by Dana Countryman and is available at Comfort Stand Records. The track is one of many on the "2 Zombies Later."

Up next is, "Bossa-Super-Nova" By Mr. Fab which appears on the "Interplanetary Materials" Compillation also at Comfort Stand. I accidentally misssed mentioning this one on the podcast, so my apolgies to Mr Fab for that slight.

The following tune was, "Launch Patterns for the Space-age-girl" by LowLiFi, & is also on the "Interplanatery Materials Compillation at Comfort Stand. Check out the other tracks as well.

After that we heard, "Alien Pops Trilogy - featuring Midas" by Forty-One, another tasty but slightly "different" offering from Comfort Stand.

Finally, the closing tune was, "I Came From The Coldest Star" by Archbishop Jason Polland another offering from the "Interplanatery Materials" Compillation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My thanks to Wil Wheaton at Radio Free Burrito for reigniting my passion for Ultra Lounge and Exotica. You may not hear it a lot but you're doing good stuff and many, many more people are listening than you might think. Good on ya buddy!

A big muchas gracias to the folks at Comfort Stand for making this music so freely available to me and to you.

Also my thanks to The Polish Ambassador for kindly allowing me the use of his track "When the robo-b-boys just kill it."

I also want to send a thank you to the kind folks at Earth Station 1 and Classic Movies for allowing
my use of all the commercials and wav files you heard tonight.

Finally, thank you for listening; if you receive half the enjoyment from listening to this show as I did putting it together, then I consider it a tremendous success.



Note: You may have noticed that the sound quality of the finished product left a bit to be desired. I apologize, but as it turned out the music and all of the associated wav and other sound bites made this a fairly massive file, megabite-wise, and some compression of the file was required to get it under the 24mb limit here at ATS. I hope that the quality of the music itself somewhat makes up for this but I do understand it may affect the pleasure of listening.

May I suggest that you just close your eyes and imagine that you are travelling through deep space and listening to the show over sub space radio with all of the accompanying hisses and snarls of space making itself heard along with the transmission. Hey, it works for me!

Awesome mix, dude. Reminds me of some phat tunes from the MEGA MAN series.
What are you using to engineer your beats?

EDIT: You just came back on and told me all about the Polish Ambassador. lol I'll have to go check out the website.

RE-EDIT: Oh wow! More music & bits! What a fun podcast!
