A reissue of a great exotica LP, recorded in 1958 and originally appearing in 1961. Dave Harris' only release as a band leader was a magnificent tribute to Raymond Scott, the legendary forerunner of space-age sound.
Russ Garcia's 'Fantastica' remains the gold standard by which most outer space exotica records are based.

Fantasy in Orbit draws the blueprint for a future sound, later recognized as "Electronic Music," as simple as that. The music is this jaunty space-age swirl, with synthetic oscillations and bubbling textures, creating what is one moment playful, the next menacing, as they struggle to reign in …
Sold out at source, few copies available - since it was established in 1914 the Phillips Research laboratories (NatLab) in Holland has given us the very first artificial reverb, tape recording, stereo, the cassette tape, CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and the songs of Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan.
