Free Music Notes for The Exciting Sounds of Martin Denny: Exotica/Exotica, Vol. I & II
Free Music Review: the first and best mood music
Hit: 5 Stars
The rage nowadays is "mood music" and "relaxation music". Well folks this is the one(in my opinion) who started it all. Yes, there were others who got into the "exotic" and "hawiian" music(Les Baxter was one), but this stuff was truely EXOTIC. Bird whistles, vibes, piano, rasp, horse jaw. Horse Jaw! Yes folks, when I heard about that I just had to get the album. They take the lower jaw of a horse, sometimes other animals, dry it well, clean it up well, wire the teeth in loosly and then paint it up. Holding it in one hand you hitit with the heel of the other hand to get a very distinctive "rattle". I spent many an hour reading the Ring Trilogy, Isaac Asimov, and james Bond novels to the music which hits just about every emotion and tempo you can find. Later on , I got the second album. Loved it too. When I saw the CD I snapped it up. Don't worry about the critics nitpicking the "crispness" of sound as opposed to the "ambience" of the old L.P. I have both and will take the CD any day. If you want "mood music" get this one!!!
The Exciting Sounds of Martin Denny: Exotica/Exotica, Vol. I & II Poster
These early Denny creations cover his more wildly "exotic" career phase. The first album, presented in its original "Spectra-Sonic" mono, includes the hit title track in its entire eerie swamp-varmint splendor. Other standouts are the dreamy xylophone on "Lotus Land" and the absolutely wacky "Love Dance," which sounds more like an ornithologist's orgy. The second album, in stereo, gets more intricate and oddly romantic. The best is the opener, "Shoshu Night Serenade," with its ghostly textures and the persistent ringing of bells that suggest the carriage of a typewriter. The Denny arrangement of "Ebb Tide" is also a stunner. This double volume gives listeners a clear picture of how Denny was interested less in an "authentic" Hawaii and more intrigued by an imaginary and often surreal geography. --Joseph LanzaInternational Music CDs
