We missed an important anniversary last year as 2013 was the 50th anniversary of the release of the first album by that great vocalese group, The Swingle Singers, who we've played on the show many times over the years.  So we thought it was high time to celebrate this marvellous musical milestone by having a show exploring not only the work of les Swingles but also some of our other favourite vocal groups.

So in addition to several tracks by the Swingle Singers we also have tracks from Russ Garcia and the Walter Schumann Singers, The King's Singers, The Singers Unlimited, The Mike Sammes Singers, The Free Design and The Hi-Lo's.

Project Moonbase is filled with music to surprise, delight and occasionally horrify you. Made by someone who really cares (and his prisoner). We bring you music you’ve never heard before that will put a smile on your face, open your third eye and make you dance. We love space age bachelor pad music, library music, charity shop cheese, hauntology, ping pong stereo, moog music, sitar-driven psychedelia, lounge, the retro-futuristic, contemporary electronica, soundtrack music, radiophonics, euro-pop, orchestral-pop, industrial-opera, hyphens, 8bit, chip tune, skwee, uneasy listening and steel drums. We’ve been known to salute the theramin, sidle up to an ondes Martenot and smile beneficently on the ukelele. Every episode includes the unnecessary news: the strange, the weird, the futuristic and the fun. Join us now and in the future!
