"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.
