I really love Moondog, and it's only recently that I realized how similar a lot of his work is to the best efforts of Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, and so on. While most of his stuff is more percussive, less melodic, and often more experimental than trad tiki music, I defy anyone to listen to Moondog tracks like "Caribea" and "Lullabye" and not get that same feeling that the best Baxter/Denny/Lyman stuff gives you.
