The MPS albums that Phelps and I posted may be "marijuana" music, but the track that I posted at the top of the thread is cocktail music.
Speaking of "drugs", I keep trying to find late '60s-early '70s music that gives me the same "hit" that those latter-lounge Nelson Riddle albums and The Persuaders! music gives me, or what I like to call the "Europe International" feeling, circa 1968-73, as brought to you by Braniff International or composers who scored airliner takeoffs and landings that seemed so popular at the time (this all makes sense to me).

At the very least one could begin with "Gotta Get Away"
… or with the potty-training sequence in this 1968 Italian 'mondo' Scusi, lei conosce il sesso?. Get a whiff of Piero Umiliani's poo-poo/ka-ka twist below … which is cue #8 'Coretto grottesco' on Quartet's (now sold out) CD.

It's a silly-sounding cue, though I suppose one could grow a decent duo of muttonchop sideburns while listening to it. It sounds like something Hugo Montenegro would compose in a dream after having consumed a large pepperoni pizza, but upon awakening, would not dare record.
Listen to this Nelson Riddle track from the soundtrack to "A Rage to Live." It comes in at about the 12:40 mark.
I want to live inside of this track!
I was similarly obsessed with Leonard Pennario's Midnight on the Cliffs. Hauntingly beautiful music that stays on your mind, lives in your heart and warms up your soul!
