Space Age Pop
After years and years of enjoying random snippets and occasional listenings to Space-Age Pop music, I’m finally starting to take it a bit more seriously and really start enjoying it. If you’re not sure what it is, it roughly includes elements of instrumentals, synthesizers, and groovy rhythyms, and can be spun into such sub-divisions as exotica, lounge, crime/spy, jungle, space, and a few other types. I spent about two hours Saturday jumping back and forth between iTunes, Space-Age Pop, and Google, and my artist of the week is Juan Garcia Esquivel. If you’re not familiar with his music, a tune called Question Mark is a groovy introduction (1.4MB, right-click, save-as). Enjoy!

I’ve been listening to Esquivel for years now. You want some more good pop? Try Combustible Edison.

Is this along the lines of the UltraLounge kind of stuff?? If so, I love that stuff, and I will have to check it out for sure!

Have you heard the collaberation between Esquivel! and Combustible Edison called Miniskirt? It’s on the compilation Lounge-A-Palooza and it’s a smooth little ditty.

Esquivel rocks. An old rommate who had a penchant for all things retro, WAY retro not 80s retro,loved him.
