Kono Tiki Island: June 2006
http://konotiki.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 24, 2006. Les Baxter - Ritual of the Savage. Les Baxter, Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman are the Holy Trinity of Exotica. I wanted to bring this one back to the top because I saw that it had very few downloads. As best I can figure, it was largely ignored at that time because A) I didn't post a pic of the cover, B) I neglected to post a pic of the cover and C) there was no pic of the cover. Its an older rip of mine but a pretty good one. Posted by Kono at 10:11 PM. Of Arthur Lyman are record...

Wednesday, March 29, 2006. The Surfmen - Hawaii to Tahiti. Here's a rip I did a while back of. The Surfmen - Hawaii to Tahiti. This is the exact same LP as. Just a different title and cover. Hell, you can put the files in a folder called. And I guarantee your friends won't know the difference! I know blogs are supposed to be informative and entertaining but I'm feeling a profound lack of personality right now. So.just grab the music. The Surfmen - Hawaii to Tahiti.

Saturday, April 29, 2006. Fantastic Strings Orchestra - The Shadow of Your Smile. Betcha don't have this one! I'm assuming that this is a pretty rare Exotica album since I've never ever seen anyone mention it before. Yeah, the cover is a bit bizarre. The title of the LP is. The Shadow of Your Smile - Fantastic Sound. Enjoy Its a good one. Ebb Tide" is a smoker. Posted by Kono at 11:03 PM. Friday, April 28, 2006. Ukonu - Real Native (redux). Here's the Ukonu LP without the filter: Ukonu - Real Native.

Kono Tiki Island: May 2006
http://konotiki.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 29, 2006. Chief Bey and His Royal Household - Taboo. All The Excitement And Mystery Of The Jungle In High Fidelity.". A mysterious one. Who is Chief Bey? There is no information in the liner notes. Just a mention that the drums are in the hands of the "CAWANDA group." I got the "Chief Bey and His Royal Household" off of the record label. There is no mention of "Chief Bey" or any "recording artist" on the cover, either front or back. The liner notes describe "Fakiiya" as thus: "The deep drums,...

Saturday, August 26, 2006. Axel Stordahl - The Magic Islands Revisited. Swanky mentioned Axel Stordahl as a fave of his so here's one I ripped a while back. Its mostly mid-tempo orchestrated hapa haole (with the emphasis on. But there are three or four bona fide exotica tracks, like the first track which is classic exotica. Lousy of me not to clean up the cover but hey, I ain't charging for it. The Magic Islands Revisited. Posted by Kono at 8:01 PM. Wednesday, August 16, 2006. It's a double LP so the fil...

Kono Tiki Island: July 2006

Sunday, July 30, 2006. Rene Paulo and Akemi - Forever More. I had an idea to do a "theme" type post around Rene Paulo but apparently (and unfortunately) I don't have any of Rene's classic exotica LPs. How did I manage that? I even looked through my download collection and "The Enchanted Garden" is the only Rene I have (besides this one). People! Where are the Rene Paulo shares? Consider this a formal request. I'd especially like to hear "Black Coral.". This sharity thing is great. And I'm pretty sure I r...

You Don't Have To Visit This Blog. Miscellaneous things I wanted to post (you might find any style of music here though you'll probably see an emphasis on film, TV, and stage music and you'll find albums, individual tracks, and compilations).

If you want some fun, listen to track #13 and pretend you're Christopher Walken in the film doing his tap dance routine! 02 - Sam Browne and The Carlysle Cousins - Yes, Yes! 12 - Walter Harrah,G...
