8014 Just spectacularly good - even for those who are only mild fans of exotica, like myself. Highlights such as Don Tiki, Tipsy, amazing moog action from Dana Countryman, and much much more. This compilation will make you want to repair to the Tonga Room in San Francisco and partake of their fifteen-dollar boat-sized cocktails.

Now I have to bid on more tikis for sale on e-bay. Chin Chin. happy hour Captain Ambience 2004-04-17 14:51:17 2004-04-17 14:51:17 4 15258 Exotica deluxe!

The sound collages are a good counterpoint to it. a lovely understated Nature Boy rjnagle 2005-03-23 11:58:39 2005-03-23 11:58:39 5 38566 me encanta este disco, no paro de escucharlo!!!!! Gran disco!!! hermetiko 2005-04-14 04:33:50 2005-04-14 04:33:50 5 Pour yourself a mai-tai & kick back! Well-produced, loads of fun-- this album updates the 'exotica' sound, tossing in some sampling, electronics & synths for a modern audience. Diverse songs from diverse bands. Fun stuff! 5 JustinM 2006-01-08 09:03:17 2006-01-08 09:03:17 For those of you that may not know... Eric and Ryan Kilkenny from volume 1, track 2 (Bongo Avenger), are also known as "The Martinibomb". These 5 stars are just for them alone. Check out their other Comfort Stand releases, you will probably like "The Coconut MonkeyRocket" If this style of music is up your alley. A. K. A.: Martinibomb 5 kareneliot 2006-01-20 17:55:17 2006-01-20 17:55:17 "Exotica" is possibly the lamest genre name used, world over, and I dont know who the majority of these people are but the simple fact that such an exhaustive collection of space age lounge music can be put together with taste and smart+fun sounding contributions is pleasing in its own right. As for the sound, it's the style of future/space cocktail lounge music originally laid by the likes of Esquivel! and carried on by bands like Combustible Edison, The Coctails, Stereolab, etc. Good stuff. Is this possibly the same person using a aliases? It would almost be more surprisingly if it wasnt... who 5 aaron m 2006-01-22 13:07:24 2006-01-22 13:07:24 I agree with everyone when they say this compilation sucks I AGREE! Maury Brunner 2007-07-25 05:51:29 2007-07-25 05:51:29 1 Volume One is nearly perfect. Volume Two is marginal. As a childhood fan of "Silent Running," I really enjoy Nature Boy, but it's hardly what I'd call exotica. Uneven but entertaining drspark61 2008-04-06 05:06:54 2008-04-06 05:06:54 4 There's some ok songs on here. Don't get turned off by the first track, which feels very forced; did someone watch a lot Quentin Tarantino films? Decent "DJing" done with exotica flourishes. Could be worse I guess LauraBradford 2009-10-16 00:09:31 2009-10-16 00:09:31 3 13 4.38
