Gorilla

CD-Charts > Music > Exotica
by: Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

Release Date December 31, 1993
All I could remember from the title of this album was Gorilla - except that I thought it was a group called 'The Gorillas'. That is why it has taken me so long to track down this fantastic CD. Someone had a copy of it, and it was almost on constantly in the Moni room - our study room - at school. Jollity Farm was a masterpiece, as was Rule Britannia! The CD may have been taken home long ago, yet we still go round saying 'hip hip hip hip hippy!' at random strangers. (surely someone out there must understand?!?) I'm so happy that I have now refound the true source of all that merriment. The other reviewer may be an aged rocker, but I am still in the tender teenage years. This is fantastic listening for anyone who knows how to laugh out loud. ... Read More:

CD-Charts > Music > Exotica
by: Carl Stalling Project

Release Date
This music will be fondly remembered if you grew up watching these cartoons as I did. Illustrates the incredible amount of effort and relentless attention to detail that went into the production of these cartoons. The second Volume is just as fun!

Ultra Lounge Vol.1 (Mondo Exotica)

CD-Charts > Music > Exotica
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 01, 1996
I had never heard of most of the tracks on the CD, but then you play it you realise you've actually heard them all before. These tracks have turned up on Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends and Sex And The City. So mix yourself a cocktail (there's a guide with the CD to what cocktails go best) and kick back for some Tikki Lodge fun.

The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny

CD-Charts > Music > Exotica
by: Martin Denny

Release Date July 01, 1995
A great introduction to Martin Denny's work and to 50's 'exotica' if you haven't heard it before. Denny uses a small group with a large amount of percussion and 'ethnic' instruments along with bird and nature calls to produce his music. Listen and transport yourself somewhere else.

Sonic Seasonings

CD-Charts > Music > Exotica
by: Wendy Carlos

Release Date March 14, 2003
When I first heard this album in 1972 I was amazed. The reason I'd never heard anything like it was that back then there really was nothing else like it. Since then we've had Eno's ambient electronic music and a host of other, similar things which resemble some aspects of Sonic Seasonings, but in 1972 this was totally groundbreaking.

Back then most of didn't even know what a synthesizer was. I certainly didn't. Now I can find my way around the Moog modular Wendy Carlos used on this album, but the music sounds as fresh as it did originally. Time has only made it more and more clear how skilled Wendy was on her early Moog albums.

Sonic Seasonings was originally a double album on vinyl, with one side each devoted ... Read More:
