Right now I'm listening to Mr. Spock's Music from Outer Space. It's "one of the greatest party records of all time," according to one site.

"In lieu of a theremin or similar electronic instrument, the Star Trek instrumentals feature a screaming reverb-laden combo organ with all vibrato switches 'set to stun'.

"Musical accompaniment is provided by a Ventures style surf group with a liberal supply of amphetamine sulphate."

Besides offering many sound clips, the web page singles out one particular instrumental track with for its classy title - "Music to Watch Space Girls By."

And it notes that that this is just one of Leonard Nimoy's many musical gems.

I busted up laughing when Nimoy said "catch a falling earth and put it in your pocket." Whoa, far out, man....
