Jane Fonda's Finest Moment

Jane: What's my motivation in this scene, M. Vadim?
Roger: Er ...

She's a terrific person. Whip-smart, fearlessly outspoken, and a radical force for good. Should have been the first woman POTUS. But for many men of a certain age *cough* she did her finest work in the opening sequence of Roger Vadim's berserk acid-in-outer-space artsploitation romp Barbarella. In spite of Vadim's protestations of it being a feminist movie ("Her sexuality is not measured by the rules of our society. She is different. She was born free" - blow it out yer ass, Roger!) it's mercifully impossible to imagine the movie getting made by Millennials in these woke times. But it's impossible to imagine anything getting made by Millennials other than a nice frothy coffee. Bless!

Bob Crewe - the Windolene-klene leader of hip lounge combo The Crewe Generation  - directed the loungexotica soundtrack, I'm guessing unironically, and the extended Complete Nerd version is attached for your convenience. It's the kind of thing you'll be proud to display on your iPod when unexpected guests drop by, but probably never get to hear in its entirety unless you're breathing through a tube. It's an enjoyable slice of psychedelic cheese, but the most interesting thing about it is the limited participation of The Glitterhouse, a genuine lost band if ever there was one.

They made their own album, Colorblind, featuring the Barbarella songs and adding their own drops of perfectly-crafted op-art psych pop such as Tinkerbell's Mind, which is every bit as good as you want it to be. A New York band out of New York [New York - Ed.], their sound is closer to UK pop-psychonauts like Jason Crest, and the quality vocals - reminiscent of Arthur Lee - are a treat. 
Again, this is the extended version, twenty-three tracks calculated to satisfy the base desires of the sad and in many ways lonely individual who enjoys this kind of thing.
