THE EVIL GENIUS ORCHESTRA - COCKTAILS IN THE CANTINA




















Updated Link - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v1v6dkw2ox6ck4d

Track 1 - Star Wars (Main Title)
Track 2 - Princess Leia's Theme
Track 3 - The Imperial March (Darth Vader Theme)
Track 4 - Cantina Band
Track 5 - Ben Kenobi's Death / Tie Fighter Attack
Track 6 - Han Solo And The Princess
Track 7 - Yoda's Theme
Track 8 - Lando's Palace
Track 9 - The Asteroid Field
Track 10 - Parade Of The Ewoks
Track 11 - Binary Sunset
Track 12 - The Throne Room
Track 13 - End Title

What if Han Solo had worn a smoking jacket, Princess Leia worked as a cocktail waitress or if Chewbacca had been a bartender in the 50's? Ok, so maybe this album doesn't quite answer those questions but it does take the Star Wars universe and put it fairly and squarely into lounge music heaven. You will never listen to the Main Title theme the same way after hearing the finger snapping, space groove version on this record. The "Imperial March" is turned into something like Ben Hur mixed with Les Baxter, "Han Solo And The Princess" could easily be a track off an obscure 1970's Italian easy listening album and "Yoda's Theme" is moulded into a jazzy hipster workout. This is super stuff.

If you can, could you repost this please? I get an error when expanding the archive. Thanks!

Oh, okay. I've had 85 downloads for this and noone has said anything previously but I can re-up it for you. Once it's done I'll mention in the post it's an updated link. Cheers.

I've uploaded it again so fingers crossed that it works for you.

hi, thanks for this. Could you possibly upload track 2 as it is corrupt in the archive.

This really is star wars music as you've never heard it before :)

Hi Anon. Sadly I've got the same problem so I don't have Track 2 either. And as far as I know this is the only rip available on the internet at the present time. Sorry I couldn't help.
