1	88 Elmira St. (1991) more music like this by Danny Gatton After years of knocking around the Washington, D.C.-area circuit, local guitar legend Danny Gatton finally got to cut his first album for a major label. It was indeed worth the wait, spot-welding blinding speed and immaculate chops that went in a million different directions (jazz, country, rockabilly, blues, you name it) to a musical sensibility ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.60!
2	Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this by Martin Denny This passable Greatest Hits collection from the Curb label may only yield a scant ten songs from the vast arsenal of exotic goodness that is the Tiki torch world of Martin Denny, but as far as budget-priced compilations, one could do a whole lot worse. "The Enchanted Sea," "Quiet Village," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," "Martinique," and "A Taste of ... see all copies from $2.86! new only from $7.03!
3	The Best of Martin Denny's Exotica (2006) more music like this by Martin Denny Since the mid-'90s resurgence of easy listening or space age bachelor pad music, the majority of both original LPs and compilations by the pioneers of the genre -- Esquivel, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, and Martin Denny -- saw a glut of reissues, both good and bad. Unfortunately, the best of those discs aren't as easy to find some ten years later as ... see all copies from $14.15! new only from $14.15!
4	Breakfast of Champions (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to the film adaptation to Kurt Vonnegut's novel Breakfast Of Champions, which stars Bruce Willis and Albert Finney, revolves around the works of lounge music pioneer Martin Denny, capturing the surreal, over-the-top feel of the movie. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Music of Hawaii (1966) more music like this by Henry Mancini see all copies from $4.75! new only from $18.37!
6	Those Wonderful Years: Melodies of Love (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.25!
7	The Very Best of Arthur Lyman (2002) more music like this by Arthur Lyman Exotica fans might be outraged by such an assertion, but really to most listeners one Arthur Lyman album is about the same as another. And if you only get one Arthur Lyman album, you might as well get one with the hits (all three of them, two of which didn't reach the Top 40) and one that has a bit of a chronological span, right? The Very Best of ... see all copies from $9.24! new only from $9.24!
8	Teen Beat, Vol. 5 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The fifth and final installment of Ace's series of early rock instrumental compilations is one of the best Teen Beat volumes, in large part because about half of these are acknowledged classic hits. Booker T. & the MG's' "Green Onions," Sandy Nelson's "Let There Be Drums," the Pyramids' "Penetration," Link Wray's "Raw-Hide," the Routers' "Let's Go ... see all copies from $17.74! new only from $17.74!
9	The Legendary Group at Their Best (2001) more music like this by The Astronauts The Astronauts are one of the many bands to be included in the Legendary Group at Their Best collections. Unlike many of the other groups in the series, the Astronauts did not have much musical credibility or strong songs to back them up. They were mostly a cover band, and although they performed their covers with a strong vigor and energy, they ... see all copies from $60.21! new only from $60.21!
10	Hot Rod Guitar: The Danny Gatton Anthology (1999) more music like this by Danny Gatton It's hard to look at Danny Gatton's career and not feel melancholy. As one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation, he always commanded the respect of his peers and critics, but he never was widely celebrated during his life. Nobody will ever know exactly why he chose to take his life at age 49, but there's little question that he left ... see all copies from $33.62! new only from $33.62!
11 view cover	Black Widow (1976) more music like this by Lalo Schifrin Although he is best-known for film scores like Bullitt and Enter The Dragon, prolific composer Lalo Schifrin has always maintained a side career as a jazz musician. He racked up a massive success in this field in 1976 with Black Widow, a slick instrumental excursion that combined the musical dexterity of jazz with the dance-friendly rhythms of ... see all copies from $8.62! new only from $8.62!
12 view cover	Blazing Telecasters (1984) more music like this by Tom Principato "Blazing" is just the right word for this live set with blues guitar hotshot Tom Principato, who played on and off with Gatton through 1984. This is the resulting snapshot that Principato reissued several years later on his own Powerhouse label (and remains available by mail-order there, regardless of its ongoing demand as an Internet auction item ... see all copies from $15.93! new only from $15.93!
13 view cover	The Hideout (2004) more music like this by Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers In 2004, a 65-year-old Pucho was quoted as saying, "A piano player and a bass player in my band has to play three types of music: he has to play jazz, he has to play funk and he has to play Latin." The veteran percussionist/bandleader no doubt made similar statements 40 years earlier; over the years, Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers have never had ... see all copies from $9.31! new only from $9.31!
14 view cover	The Lost Episode (1995) more music like this by Les Baxter Taken from the soundtrack to a 1961 television broadcast, this is a marginal item of Baxter's discography, given more weight by the space age pop revival of the 1990s, and the fact that little of his work is available on CD. At a mere 18 minutes, and with fidelity (from a video transfer) on par with listenable bootlegs, its appeal is mostly ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
15 view cover	Instrumental Gems of the Fifties (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Instrumental Gems of the Fifties rounds up 40 hits, some of which are otherwise difficult to find on CD. Although most of the tracks are orchestral hits, the inclusion of Ernie Freeman's "Raunchy" and Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" add variety and a little context, considering that many of these orchestral intrumentals coexisted and competed with ... see all copies from $22.61! new only from $22.61!
16 view cover	Viva El Chicano! Their Very Best (1976) more music like this by El Chicano One of Latin rock's most restless, dynamic groups, El Chicano recorded furious Latin jams and gorgeous pop ballads, covering everyone from Van Morrison to Les Baxter to Ray Barretto, and recording some solid original material as well. Though it includes only ten songs, Viva El Chicano! Their Very Best weighs in at nearly 50 minutes, and tells El ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $26.00!
17 view cover	Go Go Go/For You, From Us (1997) more music like this by The Astronauts Collectables Go Go Go/For You From Us collects two albums the Astronauts released in 1965 on one single disc. Go Go Go is a weird collection, containing rock & roll ("Almost Grown"), exotica ("Quiet Village"), blues, folk and originals, none of which is particularly impressive. For You From Us is a better record, containing solid versions of "Mary ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
18 view cover	The Ventures Play the Greatest Instrumental Hits of All Time, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by The Ventures see all copies from $10.47! new only from $10.47!
19 view cover	Taboo: The Greatest Hits of Arthur Lyman (2004) more music like this by Arthur Lyman Along with Martin Denny, whose band he played in before going it solo, Arthur Lyman was one of the greats of exotica. It could also be argued that he was a little more consistent than his former boss too. Taboo: The Greatest Hits of Arthur Lyman does a good job of proving just that. At his peak Lyman was recording four albums a year, leaving the ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
20 view cover	Baked Alaska: The Cool Sounds of Martin Denny (2003) more music like this by Martin Denny Allegedly, Martin Denny's one and only live recording was of this September 1964 set at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Anchorage, AK. Not intended for commercial release, Baked Alaska was culled from tapes of the live broadcast of the show on Alaskan Air Force Command Radio. The sound quality suffers a bit from the transfer and the crowd noise ... see all copies from $11.21! new only from $11.21!
21 view cover	50's Golden Jukebox: Lover's Lane (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.21! new only from $7.21!
22 view cover	Something for Everyone (2003) more music like this by Don Cunningham This very obscure set by the Don Cunningham Quartet was originally sold only at the St. Louis Playboy Club at the time of its release in 1965 and only 500 copies of the original Lp were made. The four players are obscure but talented and the music, which includes a few ballad vocals by Cunningham, his catchy singing on "Angelina" and some ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!
23 view cover	Beyond the Blue Horizon (2000) more music like this by Robert Mandell & Melachrino Orchestra see all copies from $6.35!
24 view cover	Vintage Instrumentals, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.16! new only from $15.16!
25 view cover	The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny [Rev-Ola] (2003) more music like this by Martin Denny Prior to the release of this 2003 compilation, there had been several other CDs also titled "The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny," either as the full title or part of the title. Those included a two-CD 1996 anthology on Capitol with the exact same title; Scamp's The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny: Forbidden Island & Primitiva, which packaged together ... see all copies from $9.79! new only from $9.79!
