Serve garnished with an alluring female on the album jacket for best results. Exotica! The soundtrack for a mythical air conditioned Eden, packaged for mid-century, tiki torch-wielding armchair safariers. Be it mosquito-bitten torch singers, landlocked surf quartets, fad-chasing jazz combos, mad genius band leaders, D-list actors, or a middle aged loner programming bird calls into a Hammond, Exotica was always more concerned with what geography might sound like over who was conducting. Captured across three albums are 48 (54 on the CD) curious examples of the short-lived genre's reach, each summoning their own sonic visions of Shangri La, bringing their versions of the Pacific, Africa, and the Orient to the hinterlands of America. Technicolor Paradise is where one makes it, after all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Oasis - By Chuck \"Big Guitar\" Ernest with the Satellite Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarooned - By the Sound Breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriftwood - By the Wailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Moon of Manakoora - By Lenny ; the Thundertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight in Montevideo - By Biscaynes with Co-Encidentals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChant of the Jungle - By Red Harrison ; His Zodiacs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJungle Guitar - By the Palatons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive with the Moon - By Chayns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobra (Feat.
