Martin Denny's
music is becoming so famous it's a little pointless
to tell you
how wonderful it is. If you've already heard it you will
know,
and if you haven't, stop reading this right now......put on the
record
and play it....I've given up trying to figure out how Martin
thinks
up this fabulous music, and I'm not sure he knows himself.
It sounds and feels the same every time, yet it is always brand new,
fresh and exciting
as if you'd never heard it before. And one last
word from the
Waikiki prophets: If you think this is good, hold
your hats, there's
a lot more to come.

There are two
very good reasons why the Exotic Sounds
of Martin
Denny rate high on all popularity lists.They
are tremendously
interresting and they are relaxing, two
qualities most
important in good music. Although the
theme of this
album is built around "the Sea" Martin
Denny
has once again managed to utilize several songs
unrelated
to the theme, but which all lead themselves
beautifully
to his adaptation of them to the most exotic
Polynesian
setting.

The audiophile
will be delighted with the technical perfection
and the wide
selection of the sound spectrum presented in this
unique album.
Stereo fans will discover that the stereophonic
version of this
album is recorded in the most dramatic manner,
providing new,
truly remarkable and exciting Sound Thrills.
The instruments
heard here were selected because of their very
beautiful distinctive
sounds and the manner in which they all
nicely blend
together. We think the listeners will share great
enthusiasm for
the sounds of these rare and interesting exotic
musical instruments
of the East.

There is no doubt
that this is the "Go-Go Generation! "
The words
"Go-Go" have become an automatic phrase of
this
era.There's everything from "Go-Go discotheques" to
"Go-Go
laundromats" and, I am sure, many people have
asked themselves
where does this all come from?.................
It all started
in Paris, France and spread like wild fire to
both the East
and the West.It has travelled across oceans
and to far corners
of the world.Hawaii is certainly not one
to be left behind,
it has always been a place of excitement.
Now they also
have the "Go-Go" and it's just as Fast,
Frantic and
Exciting as it is anywhere.

1966 on the Liberty label
