Ever since I was a little kid I’ve had this fascination with Exotica/Lounge Music/Tiki Culture. The whole ersatz Polynesian thing always seemed so cool to me, in a funky sort of way.Last week I received a copy of “Voodoo” by Robert Drasnin. It’s a CD transcription of an LP, complete with surface hiss, pops and ticks (about the same as a new, general release LP). I can’t stop playing it – if it was an LP it would be see-through by now. I’m stuck in 1959 and happy as a pig in merde.
I've got more stuff on order....
