Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que: Featuring 25 Hickory-Smoked Harmonies (Television Soundtrack)
Originally a Hanna-Barbera superhero designed by comic artist Alex Toth in the 1960s, Space Ghost was revived by the Cartoon Network as a surreal, self-involved talk-show host in 1994. Given free rein to show off his previously hidden talents as a song-and-dance man, Space Ghost (voiced by George Lowe) soared and was rewarded with a musical variety show,Cartoon Planet.Musical Bar-B-Queis the second collection spawned byCartoon Planet, and it contains much of the out-of-printModern Music for Swinging Super Heroes. A heaping chunk of inspired wackiness from Space Ghost and two of his enemies (the dimwitted Brak and the lovably gruff Zorak),Musical Bar-B-Quemakes evenThe Simpsonsseem tame.--Randy Silver
