No need to throw stones guys.

Scottes...maybe Surf is more what you're looking for to accompany your mai tai :)

That being said, I got into surf first, but that led me to exotica. I consider Surf to be the "punk rock" version of exotica.

My theory is this :

After rock n roll came along in the the tail end of the 50's, the garage bands of the world started making their music sound more "Hawaiian" or "Island-y" to accompany the Polynesian Pop craze of the early 60's, and because they couldn't play jazz and sound like Martin Denny, they took that sound and mixed it with their garage rock n roll thing, and "Surf Music" was born.

Try that Blue Hawaiians CD I mentioned, you won't regret it. AND, of course, enjoy your cocktail with The Tikiyaki Orchestra CD as well :wink:

I think you will eventually mellow out and grow to like the slower Exotica stuff. If you love Tiki, then Exotica is a natural companion.

Aloha !
