Space-Age

Space-Age was created in the space-age of the 1950s and 1960s and features exotic electronic instruments such as therapeutic, and innovative stereo recording techniques that create a "futuristic" sound. The following description of Space-Age is given on spaceagepop.com, "The structure and equipment is rarely simple enough to be called rock (and certainly retains enough humor to disqualify it as art rock). It's not serious or direct enough to be called jazz. It's often too esoteric or extreme to be called pop. There's some middle ground in between, which means it's populated by outcasts from other well-established genres. "The conclusion is that the resulting Space-Age" is full of brilliant, bizarre and exciting sounds that are particularly striking to ears accustomed to the stereotypes that inhabit more familiar genres.
