Before exotica-lounge master Martin Denny later blasted off into space with the Moog, he was making music that lifted us just slightly off the ground using the sounds of the earth. Jackpot, carefully working their way through his catalog, reissues three early masterpieces simultaneously in 2024. The crystallization of his reverence for Polynesian culture and his imagination — the historic 1958 classic that established the aesthetic of exotica.

Martin Denny's third album, completed after a nine-month stay in Hawaii, where he was captivated by the islands' culture and music. Vibraphone, piano, percussion, bird and animal calls, the sound of waves — natural sounds beautifully woven into the arrangements on this exotic lounge classic. A bewitching, dreamlike sound cocktail that gets under your skin. A travel guide to paradise. Fans of today's exotica, like the Discrepant catalog, should take note. Full album streaming available. Red marble color vinyl. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
