Martin Denny - Exotica - VINYL LP

*A reissue of the sought-after 1969 Exotic Moog album from Exotica / Cocktail music pioneer Martin Denny. Great music for synth, exotica, experimental, 60s rock and psych hunters. Black vinyl pressing.

Now joining Jackpot Record's ever-expanding collection of Martin Denny reissues is the hypnotic Inchvisual soundInch of Exotic Percussion, which has not been on vinyl since it's original in 1961. His production on Exotic Percussion is ambitious, adventurous, and fascinatingly futuristic, especially when a tumbler with ice was still the preferred way to let loose. Xylophones and chimes swim from ear to ear; traditional jazz instrumentation collides with such musical oddities as boo bas, shamisens, Manga harp, and Burmese gongs. As always, the choice of compositions on a Martin Denny record is a bizarre yet exciting spin around the globe, but this one is even weirder than usual. From the faster-than-light of InchCumanaInch to the luscious groove of InchMoonlight On The GangesInch (made famous by Frank Sinatra and a track that is still being played on a loop at Disneyland's Jungle Cruise attraction), it's a whiplash of a ride. But the stand-out on the record is the combo of InchMisirlouInch (which would be made famous a few years later by Dick Dale and even decades later with it's appearance in Pulp Fiction). So join the conga line and head out into the street as Martin Denny once again creates a world we yearn to return to and an album we can always revisit.

Martin Denny's Hypnotique originally released in 1959. A fan favorite from the father of the EXOTICA movement. Stunning Original Cover Artwork. First Time Reissued on Jackpot Records.
