5.0 out of 5 stars DENNY'S MOST EXOTIC ALBUMS.MIND BLOWING INSTRUMENTATION., December 29, 2000

This review is from: Forbidden Island & Primitiva (Audio CD)

I bought all four of these 2 on 1 CD's from Scamp years ago when they first came out.They're all excellent.I love this one particularly for the extensive use of exotic musical instruments from every corner of the globe.These two albums are primarily led by the mallet percussion instruments with very little piano.The birdcalls are excellent;"Goony Birds"is one of the best songs.Every song is good.The melodies are beautiful and complex.The arrangements for this small group,featuring such exotic instrumentation,are brilliant.This group uses gongs,tam tams,drums,birdcalls,whistles,bells,bowls,japanese samisen(a stringed instrument)and much more with such artistry not heard since Spike Jones!This is truly what should be called "Exotica".

You simply must get all of these priceless albums of Martin Denny, and while you're at it Arthur Lyman too. Then you will have a magic environment to relax into.
