Quiet Village/The Enchanted Sea (1997) more music like this

by Martin Denny

Martin Denny is rightfully known as the king of exotica/lounge music. The music is defined by breezy, middle of the road, early-60's pop arrangements buttressed by sound effects of ocean, wildlife, birds, and other natural phenomenon. Scamp Records out of New York has done an excellent job of reissuing his original albums, and this CD, which ...

Live in Hawaii (2005) more music like this

by Jimmy Buffett

The double-disc Live in Hawaii is part of Mailboat's series of live releases documenting Jimmy Buffett's 2003/2004 tour. These, to put it mildly, are not deluxe releases -- there are no liner notes and on the cover there's the same photo of Buffett that's on all the other Mailboat releases, only this time a lei is Photoshopped around his neck -- ...

Greatest Piano Hits (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Greatest Piano Hits features a seemingly random selection of popular songs performed by various pianists, including Roger Williams and Floyd Cramer. It's intended for little more than use as easy-listening background music, and for that purpose, it's quite effective. Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Exotica (1957) more music like this

by Martin Denny

Exotica introduced the hit "Quiet Village," catapulted the ersatz musical idiom of the same name, and brought much attention to the Martin Denny Group from visitors to the group's base in Hawaii. Even the gorgeous jacket photo -- of "exotica girl" Sandy Warner peeking out from a bamboo curtain -- is a classic of the era. With all this going for it ...
