JOHN KEATING - "SPACE EXPERIENCE"



Artist: John Keating

Album: Space Experience
Label: Columbia
Catalog: CQ 32382
Year: 1972
Designer: not listed
Photographer: not listed
Artist: not listed
Grade: *** stars



Musically this album is a good example of uber-lounge; John Keating using a Electronic Music Studi. VCS3 synthesizer to stomp through a mixture of then-popular hits and his own atmospheric compositions.  The album is certainly listenable; you can see a review at: http://badcatrecords.com/BadCat/KEATINGjohn.htm), but the album cover showcasing an uncredited NASA photo, is simply spectacular.  



Anyone know which space flight it captured and who the astronaut was ?
