Four classic exotica albums on one CD. Groovy sound from Lux And IvyÆs imaginary basement.A deep dive into the darker sound of bachelor pad music, filled with effects, jazz asides and heady rhythms.Heavy conceptual nuggets that defy boundarie. Featuring The Buddy Collette SeptetÆs super rare æPolynesiaÆ, the holy grail of weird exotica.Plus pianist John McFarlandÆs æProvocatifÆ from 1959, which flows with a jazz vibe that propels proceedings into new territory.With Stan KentonÆs off-kilter jazz melting pot æCuban FireÆ, a breath taking set of arrangements from Johnny RichardsÆ compositions.And Bill RussoÆs eerie concept album based on the seven deadly sins, like a dramatic score for a play thatÆs unravelling in RussoÆs mind.A long way from the Tiki bar in Vegas; this is music from the dingier side of town, sounds that seek escapism but are hell bent on twisting the plotline as much as they can, all set for the kind of shack that Quentin Tarrantino might inhabit with John Travolta looking decidedly seedy just of camera.Remastered from the original sound sources, with sleevenotes by MOJOÆs Dave Henderson
