Is It...Man Or Astroman? CD (1993)

Billy May Big Band

$10.65

Escapist treats abound from this mysterious, tongue-in-cheek collective from the Southern United States. Man or Astro-man? have an ear for yesterday's sounds of tomorrow, as they decorate their mostly instrumental tracks with obscure sound bytes from out-of-date sci-fi movies and forgotten TV shows. Silly, dangerous, occasionally sloppy, but never boring, their album Is It Man...or Astro-Man? is the answer for everyone running low on laser gun/go-go/surf/spy/cowboy/drag racing/'60s/bullfighter/Mars-invasion/motorbike music. Songs like "Taxidermist Surf," "Invasion of the Dragonmen," and "Journey to the Stars" (originally by the Ventures) gallop along with the energy of a dozen wild stallions headed for Neptune. "Nitrous Burn Out" is a fantastic bit of racetrack romp, liberally mixed with roaring pistons and accident bulletins along the way. With anything so aggressively "up" in nature, there are a couple moments that inevitably droop a bit in exhaustion, like the novelty filler of "Organ Smash" and the uncharacteristically long "Alien Visitors," that tiredly meanders through some of the very same clichEs ...

Spike Jones Omnibust/60 Years Of Music America Hates Best CD (1960)

Billy May Big Band

$15.29

(2 albums on 1 CD) "Omnibust" is a great comedy LP from the 60's featuring takeoffs of classic TV shows. Tracks include: Ah-1 Ah-2 Ah Sunset Strip, Loretta's Soaperetta, Captain Bangeroo, The Late Late Movies Part 1, The Wonderful World Of Hari Kari, I S 2 LPs on 1 CD: OMNIBUST (1960)/60 YEARS OF MUSIC AMERICA HATES BEST (1960).
Liner Note Author: Spike Jones.
Arranger: Carl Brandt.
Omnibust/60 Years of Music America Hates Best pairs two of Spike Jones' Liberty albums from 1960 on one disc. Omnibust is a largely spoken word parody of television programming that takes a swipe at Lawrence Welk, children's programming, commercials, soap operas, and the then-popularity of detective show theme music. "I Search for Golden Adventure (In My Seven Leaky Boots)" manages to parody adventure shows and Martin Denny's "The Quiet Village" at the same time, while "The Wonderful World of Hari Kari" revisits the Asian stereotypes that Jones employed a decade earlier with his hit "Chinese ...
