...Space Age Pop fans look for is Music from a Surplus Store, which also featured all original compositions, but this time, integrating sound effects produced by, or imitating, common junk-store items like oil cans ("Oily Boid"). Novelty is a big part of its appeal, but there's more to it than that. Fascinato clearly put a lot of thought into how to use these sounds as instruments within a legitimate composition--which is harder than it may seem. (Recall Spike Jones' observation that tossing in a gunshot is easy--getting it to be a B-flat gunshot is tough!). He studied orchestration and composition with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, an influential teacher and composer, and some of the tunes on Music from a Surplus Store feature complex harmonic writing very much in the vein of modern classical music by Bela Bartok or Arnold Schoenberg. Several cuts from this album have made their way onto Capitol's Ultra-Lounge series, and at least one bootleg CD is in circulation.
