INTRO: You're listening to PAUL HASLINGER's tribute to late
1950s space-age exotica, a genre popularized by creative, eclectic
arrangers like MARTIN DENNY and JUAN-GARCIA ESQUIVEL.

Lovingly revived in the early 1990s under the banner "Space Age
Bachelor Pad Music" or just "Space Age Pop," its influences are
still with us in the quietly expanding genres of
Chill, Downtempo,
Ambient Lounge and other variants of laid-back electronic exotica.

The appeal is clear: a nice cold cocktail, some cool beats and
ambient electronics makes a
perfectly relaxing space for social-
izing. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a retro-future-
ambient-lounge journey called TIKITRONICA. Turn it up and call
your friends...
