Scottes, I dig the slower stuff! But I do know exactly where you're coming from.

I honestly was way more into Hapa Haole than Exotica when I started my Tiki lifestyle, but eventually, Exotica worked it's way into regular rotation on my record player.

I bet in a couple of years, ya know, when you're older :wink: you'll find the slow stuff more appealing. I wish I had more to add suggestionwise, but the stuff already mentioned is great.

I honestly think you're probably in a slight majority in your musical tastes to tell you the truth. Most people of our generation and younger need to be bashed over the head with drums and energy, but I find the appreciation of Exotica to be very much like the appreciation of alcohol (or anything with subtle nuance)in time, your palette demands more, it's always a progression.

Do sound tests the way you do Rum tests, which tempo Exotica number goes best with Demerara etc. etc. :)

Also, I'm guessing that bigtikidude had his tongue in cheek, jeez I hope he did!
