Les Baxter's Space Escapade can be considered as one of the true manifestos of lounge / bachelor pad music. First released in 1958 with Mr. Baxter at the head of a Jazz big band in full exploratory mood, Space Escapade consists of a colorful mixture of space age Jazz and eclectic cocktail music adequately spiced with exotic orchestral arrangements. All this packaged in one of the most iconic album covers of the genre.
