Yeah, that's superb stuff. Do you know this record?






In 1955, a record entitled, "Harry Revel's Music from Out of Space," arranged and conducted by Stuart Phillips, was released on MGM. It has a magnificent, standout cover, which depicted a mysterious woman with long, floating hair, suspended in space amidst orbiting spheres. The liner notes reference the three previous Revel Theremin albums, and stated that this work was, in some respect, a continuation of those works. In fact, this fine album does have much in common with the previous three. Unfortunately, the Theremin is not present on this album, and it suffers in comparison to the former albums due to that fact. It features a mostly wordless chorus very similar to that on "Music Out of the Moon," but a standard size orchestra replaces the small instrumental group. At times, a concerto-like effect is produced with a piano in the foreground. The orchestra produces a lush sound, which at times is reminiscent of a movie soundtrack from the era. Tempo and mood changes occur often in the pieces, and swing or jazz music touches can sometimes be detected. Overall, outer space is depicted as a slightly strange, but definitely inviting place to visit.
