Exotica tends to get lumped into the easy listening-section. But although a thing of beauty its often got a remarkably eerie and dramatic atmosphere. A lot of «serious music» is surely an easier listen… Anyway to spice things up a little extra in between all the hip beach and jungle-soundscapes I’ve managed to dig up seven wondrously exotic vintage songs for you as well. If you dig this stuff even half as much as I do, you’re in for a real treat! -Moahaha

Well thank you! I love the Exotica, mysterious music , especially of the 50s and 60s !
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome DOOMSTERJOHN - sounds to me there's a good chance you'd enjoy Sunward. Its vintage and I tried to compile an hour of mysterious beauty rather than "fun" (although I guess its a bit of both)
DeleteThank you again for this beautiful compilation ! This music is from lost world that will never come back !
DeleteYeah the long lost feel of it is definitely part of the attraction. Distant Drums is similarily themed - although "looser" and more of a exotica/lounge/jazzy kind of mix. Well, perhaps you'll enjoy it:
