Now available as a domestic pressing. Reissue of a fantastic and very obscure electronic release, recorded in the early 50s and issued on LP in 1962 on the World's Fair label (and basically impossible to find ever since)."This is the first release in our new reissue series of rare vintage electronica! We start this venture with Bubbelator Music! Visitors ride a spherical, oddly named elevator into a maze of cubes containing pictures of the hope and havoc of space and the atom. 'First floor,' chants the pilot, 'threats and thresholds, frustrations and fulfillment's, challenges and opportunities.' The Bubbleator was Washington State's official exhibit in the Coliseum housed a 'World of Tomorrow' exhibit. The Bubbleator, a150-passenger spherical clear plastic elevator moved 2.5 million people through displays that promised an easier life ahead. The operator wore a silver shiny space suit right out of a Buck Rogers comic strip and the music of Man in Space with Sounds was being played through the sound system. Totally outer space man, totally. 'Visitors ascend to the exhibit in a globe-shaped elevator for a 21-minute tour of the future.' Visitor's to the Seattle World's Fair loved the Bubbleator ride, which was eventually purchased for $5,100 and relocated after the fair's end to the Center House/Food Circus/Armory. In the early 80's the Center House was remodeled and the Bubblelator was auctioned off. The unknown buyer moved it to their home in North Seattle and turned it into a terrarium and that's where it sits today. Attileo Mineo's Man In Space With Sounds is the record and the electronic outer space exotica music with spoken word introductions that was played in the Bubbleator at the Seattle State World's Fair. It was recorded in 1951 and is one of the rarest and most interesting electronica records in existence. It has now, lovingly, been digitally remastered and transferred to the aural medium of today for your futuristic enjoyment."
