Description

Greetings, Earthlings – Ace comes in peace with a message for all who believe that there’s life ‘out there’ in the form of music.

We’ve set our compiling phasers to stun and are ready to blast you off for an hour-plus of intergalactic audio that boldly goes where no similarly-themed compilation has ever gone before. Our mission to bring you the “Greatest Hits From Outer Space” has flown us 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 we 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.

Our musical trek is programmed to bring everyone who travels with us 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.
