Most irritating Exotica album and song - Tiki Music

I also have "Tropical Fantasy", and yes, I would vote it the worst exotica LP ever. Its only redeeming quality is that a couple of cuts off of it make good Halloween music for the "Cannibal Corner" area of our annual haunted house. Eeek. (or, Ecccch.) "Orienta" is another train-wreck, with the exception of two cuts by Gerald Fried, "Mountain High, Valley Low", which is a bit brassy with the Yma Sumac-style soprano riffs and "Rain in Rangoon" also a little bright on the rain effects, but just within tolerances to make good additions to the library. (Oh, and JC, ever hear of "Quiet Farm"? I believe the title says it all...) Great thread, DJ. Cheers and aloha, SOK "Don't let it be forgot, That once there was a Spot, Where Blowfish all wore sunglasses, and Tiki-times were hot..." [ Edited by: Son-of-Kelbo 2007-03-24 13:05 ]
