"Adventure in Music and Sound"
There is really nothing with which to compare the music of Orienta.
One might say it resembles the dreams of an imaginative person who
has fallen asleep during a  "Dr.Fu Manchu"  movie on television. 
For these incomparable musical vignettes combine the sounds of the 
east with the wit of the west, the charm of the Orient with the humor
 of the Occident, they are the Adventures of a sensitive traveler who 
wears glasses which are slightly  out-of-focus  and is irrepressibly 
irreverent of Asiatic saws and clichés. But most important, these 
impressions are excellent music and Hi-fi fun with the capital "F"!
Here are the sounds and effects to gladden the tweeters and woofers 
of the most critical Hi-fi addict, coupled with interesting melodies,
exciting rhythms and adventurous harmonies. 
Released in 1959 on the Rca label
