Hula Girls - "The Curse of the Tiki". Downloaded from iTunes. GREAT production !!
Before that it was the Martini Kings. The album with the topless Asian chick pointing her finger.

Actually, right at this moment:
"Winter Wonderland" LP by The Mexicali Brass....just finished their "Jingle Bells" LP....I'm digitalizing all my old Christmas favorites onto my external hard drive for the holidays this year... Just taking a break from the endless pocess of digitalizing my Hawaiian/exotica collection. I figured I do my Xmas ones in sections..starting with "Tijuana Brass Xmas Cash-In Groups"..there are many...

Gershwin "American in Paris"
Dvorak "New world symphony"
Strauss "die Fledermaus"
Over and over!
Because I just joined an orchestra and have to learn all three pieces very quickly.
And thank you for listening to the HGs, John.....I was at almost every recording session we did for that album...it was really a very intense, creative atmosphere.
The only part about it I was sorry I missed was watching Crazy Al doing the birdcalls....from what I hear, he was moving around the room, heavily utilizing the stereo field...it would have been AWESOME to watch!

It's a good thing you don't post it right now, Jim...'cause I would steal it for the Rhesus Monkeys!!!!! (after changing a couple of notes here and there and playing it on my Casio)
But seriously, whatever you create is ALWAYS top notch!!

I'd be honored if the rhesus monkeys stole from me. They're my fave exotica band.

Les Baxter's "Space Escapades". I must say for a Baxter concept album it's not quite as "space age-y" as I would have expected. Still quite enjoyable but I think the album's reputation exceeds the reality.
Before that it was the Rumblers' "Boss" which is an early 60's instrumental band that bridges the link between R&B and Surf Music. I learned about these guys on the Surf Guitar 101 website. WOW, they play some mean saxophone !!

Space capades is one of my favorite Les Baxter albums! There is hardly anything spacey about it save for the song titles. But, it is awesome 50's "shopping mall" jazz.

Right now? John Berberian's "A Mid Eastern Odyssey". Is it exotica? Depends on how you want to define it. But I like this kind of Middle Eastern music. I like collecting vintage belly-dance LPs.
