On this LP, Mancini utilized a harpsichord, rather than a piano, and I think it worked nicely. It will go in well with exotica music. MY QUESTION, though, is when they reissued it on CD WHY, for Pete's sake, didn't they pair it with his "Driftwood & Dreams" LP (also released as "The Versatile Mancini", which featured a small combo on exotic/sea related themes? It seems logic just flys out of the window when they reissue two LPs on one CD sometimes. Some of the Les Baxter ones they paired together..well, I just don't get it. I've always enjoyed "Music Of Hawaii" by Mancini, though. Moon of Manakoora, Driftwood & Dreams, Hawaii Main Theme..great arrangements.
