Audio fragment of this record in the Audioquarium

Excellent introduction to the wild musical mastermind of Peter Thomas, with lots of exemples of his powerfull big band spy music (From "Peter Cotton" and "Edgar Wallace") that is sometimes a bit like John Barry, but wilder, more eclectic, more fun too, with wordless vocals, electric organ, electric guitar and bass, drums, and brass of course; 3 tracks from his futuristic organs-in-orbit soundtrack for "Raumpatrouille" (also available on CD, read my review of it).

Furthermore, a perfect exemple of his sence of humor in "Pardon me, Ms. Carmen"; 1 track from his "Erinnerungen an die Zukunft (Chariots of the Gods)" soundtrack, with lush strings, and more. All in all 16 tracks and 57 minutes of brilliant music really unlike anything else, that might blow your mind, amongst the UN-easiest easy listening around I think. This is also the first and only Peter Thomas release with excellent, informative liner notes in English (by The Millionaire) and source details of each and every track!
