Zero minus 5....4....3....2....1....Blast Off! That is get on the
 dance floor. Sid Bass has taken favorite tunes that have stood 
 the test of time and made them sound different by invoking the 
 familiar sounds associated with Outer Space. Thanks to the 
ingenious arranger who set the pattern for the man from Mars 
type of radio and tv shows. But aside from all the gimmickry,
 the music remains important. Even the tenuous thread by which
 these tunes are tied together does not distract from the enjoyment.

Sid Bass great new Vik album, to paraphrase Shakespeare's
famous lines from Macbeth, is a tale told by a master musician
 full of  "Sound and Fury" signifying the powerful force Music 
 has always been in years for good and evil. All great music is a 
"Psychical Storm" and all the great composers were instinctively
attuned to the universal rhythm of the spheres. Here Sid Bass 
brings the turbulence and excitement of modern jazz to the musical
interpretations of nature on a weather binge.

Bells play a major role in our lives. They wake us up.
They signal us when we have a phone call. They are hung
around the necks of cows. They announce our arrival in doctor's
offices and at the homes of friends. They chime when we get married
and toll when we die. Yet with all of their daily uses, bells are seldom
used as major instruments of an orchestra.Why this should be is a puzzle,
because bells give out a remarkably wide assortment of tones.If you have
doubts about their versatility, then this album should disprove all of them.
Here is a selection of songs, arranged and conducted by Sid Bass, all of 
which show off the bell family as accepted members of the orchestra. 
Released in 1959 on the Vik label  Lx-1112
