John Keating: Space Experience

keating space

Johnny Keating was yet another victim of the whole "a Moog will make me appear younger & hipper" syndrome. But overall this is really a pretty decent cheesey listening Moog funk lp. Of the mostly contemporary (at the time) pop covers that the album is comprised of, his version of "I Feel the Earth Move" is especially nice. I don't belive it ever saw an American press, as it's on the British Studio 2 label, but it's really not too painfully hard to find.

  1. It was indeed issued in the US. On the Columbia label by CBS. Look at your picture. It has the Columbia logo in the upper left hand corner.

    I recently transferred my quad lp to dts cd format and it is available for download on demonoid.com . It’s all free if you care to d/l. Email me at xj23@yahoo.com if you need a password.

    Cheers!

    Would love mp3 copies. I’ve been searching for these for quite some time to replace originals of Space Experience 1 and 2 that were stolen many years ago.

    This album can be found on the eDonkey network. Get the emule client and search all of kad for archives.

    Does anyone knows where to download #1 and #2 albums. Does Keating made any other album or this is the only one?

  7. DD says:

    Sorry to be a pedant but this is not a Moog album!
    The only synth used is the Electronic Music Studios (EMS) VCS3.
    Amazing record though!

    The Startrek Theme is great too on this. John Keating did do other stuff before this though I never found anything else quiet like this. Spaced Out by E. Light Hugo M. K.P.M. …………The rabbit hole keeps getting deeper. Did I say K.P.M……………

    Nice lp got it for 50p down my local car boot sale, some good stuff for the sampler or some funky numbers for the dance floor, get it on wax or not at all. You A to D crabs dubing it up and sticking it up for free downloads make me sick, you got to much time on your hands, karma will get you fools.
    Aint got number 2, is it any good?

    Cheesy this may be, but its also exceptionally crafted and layered. The bass is intriguingly noodley and very of its time, but the analogue keyboard work is pioneering. ‘Space Experience 2′ is a bit light to my ear, (I haven’t heard 1): I much prefer ‘Hits In Hi-Fi’ (John Keating Incorporated 1974) which achieves a genuine depth (excepting Eye-Level & You Are The Sunshine…) I’ve just mp3d it from my original vinyl and am amazed at how well it stands up!
