Description

2013 collection, an hour-plus of intergalactic audio that boldly goes where no similarly-themed compilation has ever gone before. The mission to bring you the Greatest Hits from Outer Space has flown them through the whole solar system of interplanetary audio activity. You won't find any Purple People Eaters or hopping Martians hell-bent on invading your hi-fi, but they otherwise guarantee you a supersonic selection of fine musical esoterica, other worldly film and TV show themes and a sputniktacular collection of songs from the '50s and '60s that travel far beyond the Final Frontier of space age Pop and Rock 'n' Roll. This musical trek is programmed to bring everyone who travels with them down to earth with a safe landing, and the accompanying operator's manual (code name: CD booklet) is full of breathtaking ephemera that will rock (et)your world, whichever one it might be. One small step for Ace, one giant leap for customer-kind...
