Neil Norman was an avid fan of science fiction who - I believe - had some role in starting GNP Records through which this album was released. Additionally, he here serves as producer, lead vocalist, and on electric guitar, synthesizers, Hammond organ, and the theremin.
This is a pretty eclectic mix of Sci-Fi themed covers (including a horrendous Star Wars medley done on a Moog), original guitar-driven compositions, early sampling, and pseudo-romantic funk lyrics. If you're willing to wade through the weeds, there's some outstanding stuff, including the two tracks posted here. It also has the same kitschy sense of fun inherent in a lot of these psych/exploitation albums from the time.
Apparently this thing's been sampled to death. Enjoy!
