Hip music made on flee-market instruments

"Remember the seventies instrumental one-day-hit-wonder 'Telstar' ? It sounds like SSSU picked up the old organ from this song (moog?) from a flee-market and started to make their own instrumental music on it, sampled with some other old electronic instruments that nobody looks after anymore. Quite good, the more you listen to it, the more you will like it. The atmosphere is like science-fiction music of the past, all instrumental, some songs with a echoing Ennio Morricone country-guitar. Perfectly fits in a lounge bar decorated with Barbarella posters."

Better than the 2000 album

"Don't be put off, this music is considerably better than "Telstar", as it is significantly more complex, and more interesting, than that early 60's instrumental. Nonetheless, this music is reminiscent of that sound. Of the two SSSU albums I have, I prefer this one to their earlier album (The Spacesound Effect), as that one gets a bit tedious. This one has a more current feel to it, even a bit 'trippy', even though it is from 2002. This isn't something you'll listen to often, but it is a nice change. If you're just going to download a song or two, try Harlem Nightdrive, Emerald Coast, or The Birdman."
