Origin : 1962 Seattle World's Fair / 1997 Subliminal Sounds

The music on 'Man In Space With Sounds' was played in the Bubbleator. "The bubbleator was Washington State's official exhibit in the Coliseum which housed a "World of Tomorrow" exhibit. The Bubbleator, a 150 passenger spherical clear plastic elevator moved 2.5 million people through displays that promised an easier life ahead. The operator wore a silver shiny space suit right out of a Buck Rogers comic strip and is veeery, very cool indeed and the music to "Man in Space with Sounds" was being played through the sound system. Totally outer space man, totally. "Visitors ascend to the exhibit in a globe-shaped elevator for a 21 minute tour of the future." Visitors to the Seattle World's Fair loved the Bubbleator ride, which was eventually purchased for $5,100 and relocated after the fair's end to the Center House/Food Circus/Armory. In the early 80's the Center House was remodeled and the Bubbleator was auctioned off (amount unknown). The unknown buyers moved it to their home in North Seattle and turned it into a terrarium and that's where it sits today."
