Taxi to tomorrow with this saucer of space-age sounds! Sound, sustain, and silence unite, polyrhythmic Hammond organs and xylophones round off a cosmic eruption! Created for the 1962 World’s Fair, this album bundles beautifully textured space sounds with period-perfect narration. Take the Gayway to a surplus of recognizable moments lifted for modern-day samples! Man In Space With Sounds is a commemorative album of 12 tracks dedicated to the Seattle World’s Fair. Envisioned and conducted by Attilio “Art” Mineo, this unearthly album was released in 1959, but its roots go as far back as 1951 when Mineo carved out many of the uncannily clandestine melodies. They’re an inebriated burlesque of circus organs, tipsily galloping bongo beats and electronic hydrazine expectorations that enclose the listener. In anticipation of the World’s Fair, Attilio mined these pieces from his archive and paired them with out-of-this-world narration to guide your journey. This narration is a milky way of recognizable sound bites that have been sampled by the best. Available on either cosmic swirly green or yellow vinyl and packaged in a stunning gatefold jacket or a CD with a coloring book style insert; this is the kind of future the Seattle State World’s Fair promised!

One thing I think is unfortunate about this project is that the people who actually composed the music are not credited. Instead, credit is given to Valentino (aka Major Records), a production library music publisher. For example, some of the music was actually composed by George Chase and Roger Roger, which were also used for the old Moody Science documentaries, although without the additional electronic sounds heard on this release. What the album sounds like to me, is Mineo editing and mixing various library music and electronic sounds together to create each of the tracks. Whether Mineo really "conducted" an orchestra for a re-recording of the various library music used for this release remains to be proven.

I doubt it because I happened to just see the press release info via Forced Exposure, which states the following: "this recording proves Attilio Mineo to have been an unbelievably progressive and underappreciated composer and arranger"... Plus Sundazed states this on their website: "In anticipation of the World’s Fair, Attilio mined these pieces from his archive and paired them with out-of-this-world narration"... What they failed to mention is that Mineo "mined" the music of other composers from Valentino/Major Records' archive (among others?).

Don't think the Sundazed reissue will clear any of this up? https://www.sundazed.com/featured/attilio-mineo-man-in-space-with-sounds/
