"Sea glass color vinyl. 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, shamisens, Manga harp, and Burmese gongs. As always, the choice of compositions on a Martin Denny record is a bizarre yet exciting spin around the globe, but this one is even weirder than usual. From the faster-than-light of 'Cumana' to the luscious groove of 'Moonlight On The Ganges' (made famous by
Frank Sinatra
and a track that is still being played on a loop at Disneyland's Jungle Cruise attraction), it's a whiplash of a ride. But the stand-out on the record is the combo of 'Misirlou' (which would be made famous a few years later by
Dick Dale
and even decades later with its appearance in
Pulp Fiction
) So join the conga line and head out into the street as Martin Denny once again creates a world we yearn to return to and an album we can always revisit."
