Far Out/Heavy, Man!.......2002-06-16

Leave it to the versatile Ventures to try their hand at different musical genres. The "Flights Of Fantasy" album is the Ventures' version of psychedelic music. "The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde" doesn't really fit into that formula but "Summertime Blues" does, because it's modeled after Blue Cheer's version. The original Ventures' instrumentals, such as "Innermotion Faze," are appropriately psychedelic. The album "Underground Fire" ventures into hard rock territory, coming dangerously close to heavy metal. "Born To Be Wild" and "Light My Fire" fit well alongside the Ventures' instrumentals, such as "Embers In E Minor" and the title cut. All in all, these are two concept albums that work very well and have stood the test of time.

Every other day is fine. .......2007-02-16

The Ventures, of course, are the most succesful American instrumental rock group of all time. This CD features two of their albums.

Best of Pops Sound is a release from 1971. It features Japanese influenced pop music recorded specifically for the Japanese market. You see, the Ventures are the most popular American rock group of all time in Japan, so the group recorded many songs with a Japanese flavor especially for their Japanese fans. In fact, their first Japanese flavored recording, "Ginza Lights", was recently voted best song of all time by Japanese pop music fans. Some of the songs on this album were written by the Ventures themselves, and some of them were written by Japanese songwriters. The music is well played, but seems a bit repetitive to me, with all the songs being Japanese style ballads. Not much variety here.

Go With the Ventures was released in 1966. Interestingly, this album also features "Ginza Lights". Of course, featuring a song twice on one CD is pretty dumb. It would be okay if it was two different versions of one song, but it's not; it's the exact same recording. Anyway, this is a typical Ventures album from the mid-1960s. It features a mix of cover versions of recent hits and Ventures originals. The songs are all pretty good. One of the more interesting songs is the traditional ballad "Frankie and Johnny", which they reworked to sound reminiscent of the Kinks' hit "You Really Got Me". Another good one is the original song "Go", which is very Chuck Berry like.

SPOOKY stuff!.......2000-02-08

On this twofer, FLIGHTS OF FANTASY is a nice collection from 1968. Some vaguely psychedelic riffs as might be expected and covers of then-current hits like "Mighty Quinn", "Bonnie And Clyde" and "Scarborough Fair". But it's the 2nd album, THE VENTURES IN SPACE, that grabs me. The peaceful cover depicting a parked hotrod is deceiving; this album would be appropriate for a Halloween party! My FAVORITE of the various Ventures albums I've heard (so far). Highlights include "Fear" (possibly the only time a theme song got used on 2 different TV shows: "One Step Beyond", and later, the 2nd season of "The Outer Limits"); "He Never Came Back" (screams included!); "Exploration In Terror", "War Of The Satellites" (covered with mucho thrills by The Space Cossacks), "The Fourth Dimension" (which later mutated into "Werewolf" by The Frantics, as well as Eddie Angel) and "The Twilight Zone". But my fave is "Out Of Limits"! NO, it's not the theme song to "The Outer Limits"-- though I recall when it WAS used as the theme song for "The Ghoul", Chicago's TV horror-movie host! I never knew WHAT that song was-- until I bought this album!

ONE OF THE BEST VENTURES ALBUMS EVER MADE!!!!.......1998-06-14

"The Ventures in Space" is by far one of the best Ventures albums ever made!!!! This album reviews the theme songs of "The Twilight Zone,"One Step Beyond", and "The Outer Limits" along with a number of other eerie and out of this world tunes! WARNING!! Don't play this album if alone at night with the lights off!!!! The Ventures really outdid themselves on this album!!! If you grew up with the Ventures as I did, and you don't have this album in your Ventures collection..... You're collection is incomplete!!!!
