Thanks for all the comments, Folks! However, some of the comments are getting off track from the initial post. I'm not talking about non-Exotica albums ('Hawaiian Eye' soundtrack, Werner Muller's 'Hawaiian Swing' -- both of which I love and which I place in the colloquial category of Lounge music) and/or songs performed by artists that are associated primarily with the Exotica genre. I'm talking about Exotica albums and songs -- the ones primarily put out in the late 1950s through the early 1960s, when Exotica was a musical genre and trend. Of course, there some later ones -- 'Exotica 1970' by the Kokee Band, 'Jungle Obsession' by Nino Nardini & Roger Roger, etc.

And remember the genre of Exotica is of far off, non-European places (even if fictional ones), not just Hawaii.

I'm looking to learn as much as everyone else through this thread -- of what else is out there that I don't have, and perhaps don't want to have.

Keep 'em coming, Folks!
