Here is some early Tiki/Exotica revival history: The Track lists of the three music cassette compilation by Canadian/Berlin artist collective KBZ 200. In the early 90s they began using the three Exotica classics Quiet Village/Taboo/Caravan as Non Stop Soundtracks for their performances, and made three cassette compilations of different versions of these, called the "EXOTIC TRILOGY".
Here are the cassette inlays:


After that, they managed to get 2 of 3 CDs released under the same concept, here is their history/manifesto as described by themselves, taken from the second CD:
