Post a comment Search on Ebay Search on GEMM | | I bought this album for the Les Baxter connection (he wrote the score), and the tracks that he contributes are the best, including 'Psychedelic Senate', a funky blues number with hippy crowd scene noises. Much of the rest is slightly jarring vocal pop. | Les Baxter recommendations at Musical Taste Jungle Montuno Go Chango Nightingale Sunken City Shooting Star Hot Wind
| Links for Les Baxter http://www.lesbaxter.com/front.html A stunningly beautiful official site for Les, this includes an innovatively designed set of cover scans for all of Les's Capitol releases, and a selection of track downloads in asf format. A glance at the licensing section revealed that 'Puff Daddy And Family sampled Xtabay (Lure Of The Unknown
Love) in I love You Baby'. This was news to me. Do I want to hear it? One thing that this site lacks is any coverage of Les's sleazy soundtrack work of the 60s and 70s. Still, this is an astoundingly nice and useful site.
