I don't mean to gravedig this thread, but I just joined and did a search to see if this album had been discussed. "The Gift" is actually the record that got me into Exotica and Tiki music back in '01. I went on from that record to get a ton of Denny/Baxter/Lyman/etc. stuff and developed a deep interest in the history of exotica and tiki culture.

To answer another poster, the artist on "The Gift" is Trevor Brown. You can check out more of his work here - http://www.pileup.com/babyart/ (Not safe for work!). Very creepy but fascinating stuff.

Someone else was wondering what other Zorn stuff is along the lines of "The Gift." If anything, Zorn has a bunch of isolated tracks that are similar in tone but few full-lengths. Check out "Film Works 12," "IAO," and "Film Works VII."
