101 Strings - Flameout

"101 Strings - Astro Sounds From Beyond the Year 2000-1968 ":

Throughout the `60s, 101 Strings recorded several albums of easy listening instrumentals. But in 1968, when the space race was in full swing and psychedelia was sweeping the globe, 101 Strings let its hair down for a full-blown exotica freakout.

A version of this music was originally released in Europe in '67 with the title 'The Animated Egg'. For the US release, the producers (David Miller and Alan Sherman) gave the tracks some additional over-dubbing of spacey strings and deep-space gimmickery and released the LP as 'Astro-Sounds from Beyond The Year 2000'.

Fuzz-ed out guitars, heavy drums and strings all collided to create what has become one of the top cult classics of the psychedelic era. A classic and much sought-after psychedelic groover 'Astro Sounds from Beyond The Year 2000' from 101 Strings. The bonus tracks is sexy-excellent!!!

@gemby Actually it's another version that was sampled: The Animated Egg - Sock It My Way. It's basically the same w a different mix and no strings.
