Notes

ORIENTA + TROPICAL FANTASY! DOUBLE EXOTICA ON ONE CD!

"Orienta is an album by The Markko Polo Adventurers released in 1959. The album was produced by Simon Rady, arranged and conducted by Gerald Fried and recorded in stereo in Hollywood, California. The album uses a combination of sound effects and Asian-inspired music to tell humorous vignettes. Its suggestive cover art features a photograph by Murray Laden. Orienta was an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of exotica music in the late 1950s. The genre's popularity peaked in 1959 as Martin Denny's 1957 album Exotica spent five weeks at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's album chart. The album's liner notes stated that the music "resembles the dreams of an imaginative person who has fallen asleep during a 'Dr. Fu Manchu' movie on television," with vignettes that "combine the sounds of the East with the wit of the West; the charm of the Orient with the humor of the Occident."" - wikipedia.org

"Without a doubt one of the most unique and daring records in the exotica canon, Michel Magne's Tropical Fantasy manages to encompass the complete breadth of the genre in one broad stroke -- a dizzying, 12-car pileup of bird calls, jungle rhythms, oddball instruments, and tape manipulations, its sheer mastery of sound and spatial dynamics is unparalleled. Magne dispenses with all pretense of subtlety here: no idea is too radical, no sound effect too shrill, and no studio trickery too outlandish. Though it clearly draws influence from Martin Denny's island fantasias, Tropical Fantasy exists in diametric opposition to Denny's lush, soothing arrangements, eschewing calm in favor of cacophony -- it's exotica with all the complexity and absurdity of a Rube Goldberg contraption, and there's nothing else quite like it." - Jason Ankeny & allmusic.com
