The big thing
about the group is the"New Sound" and
"Luxurious Rhythms"
that come from leader Martin
Denny's offbeat
improvisations in sound."We establish
moods by stressing
melodic content and highlight it with
Novel Effects,"
explains Denny. You have to hear it,
experience it,
to believe that Exotic Oriental effects can
enrich music
so much. Any kind of music, concert, pop,
jazz, afro-cuban,
all take on another dimension!

In Exotica Volume
One, Martin Denny produced
sounds of such
a fabulous nature as to titilate Hi-Fi
aficionados
the world over. Now he recorded another.
Herein mr Denny's
imagination has gone even further
afield, and
with superb "Spectra-Sonic Sound"giving
matchless fidelity,
he has further explored the myriad
tinkle of instruments
foreign to our civilization, plus
fresh approaches
on those familiar to our ears.Never
have you heard
such wonderful percussive expression.
Take this wonderful
journey into Exotic Lands and
when you return,
you tell us!
