Exotic Percussion
Now joining the Jackpot Record’s ever-expanding collection of Martin Denny re-issues is the hypnotic “visual sound” of Exotic Percussion, which has not been on vinyl since its original release in 1961. His production on Exotic Percussion is ambitious, adventurous, and fascinatingly futuristic, especially when a tumbler with ice was still the preferred way to let loose. Xylophones and chimes swim from ear to ear; traditional jazz instrumentation collides with such musical oddities as boo bas, sha…
The Enchanted Sea
Long before Martin Denny started heading into outer space with his Moog work, he was keeping us just floating slightly above the ground with the sounds of the earth—and The Enchanted Sea is one of his most grounded and beautiful works. Unlike many of his other exotica records (which are filled with the sounds of the jungle, its wildlife, and the smell of tiki bar smoke) this one has the feeling of a tumbler full of ice, walking barefoot on a sandy beach in the twilight, while breathing in the sa…
Forbidden Island
