I can't believe someone mentioned Chris and Cosey on this list. Their album "Exotica" is not Exotica music but they are definitely HUGE fans of the genre. It doesn't TRY to be Exotica but it is one of their biggest influences going all the way back to the early days of Throbbing Gristle. The intro to the title track "Exotica" is classic electronic Exotica. Sexy bass line, primal rhythms and bird sounds start the track off before going into an electronic dance track. This album was actually dedicated to both Les Baxter and Martin Denny for inspiration back in 1987. They actually introduced Exotica music to a lot of people, including myself, way before it actually became popular again. Their latest CD entitled CABAL has even more electronic exotica without all the dance tracks and it sounds really nice. Similiar to Kavakon but much more dark with subsonic primal rhythms. One of my favorite CD's. Cheers, Jeff
