OK, I've mentioned this a couple times before with no response, but maybe this is the proper thread for it. Yma Sumac's album, Miracles. Although the album is not exotica, Yma is the goddess of the genre, and I love her work. Except Miracles. I've tried, believe me, but I just can't stand it! Does anyone else have problems with this practically unlistenable 70's experimental freeform acid rock nightmare like I do,, or should I go back, lock myself in a dark room with some LSD and listen repeatedly 'til I'm a convert?

Thanks for the thread Terrence. It's a good one.

As much as I love Exotica, and all it's offshoots and back alleys, there's some really horrible stuff out there. I'm sure many of us have had the experience of having friends over, who you're trying to win over to the wonderful world of weird music. A song will come on that you might've perhaps always overlooked or tolerated, but you suddenly you see the pained expression on your friends faces, and you realize,, there are just some songs that should never be played to the uninitiated !!!
