Dick Dale, Dick Dale, Dick Dale, Dick Dale...

I might also suggest Combustible Edison, on the pop-side.

But my foremost suggestion, already offered earlier here by CV and MH, would be go dig into some real authentic Tahitian/Polynesian percussion. I have a CD called "Percussions Polynesiannes" that really goes into the bones. (I put it on the backyard boombox one evening while I was re-tying/re-roofing the Cosmic Tiki Hut here, and, looking at the stars while listening to it and lashing bamboo rafters, I totally got a transporting sense of riding a raft with the ancient Navigators. Transporting, exotic, and still kick-ass.

Also, if you haven't sampled any of the more rapid Gamelon orchestra works out there, check those out. If 'high-speed exotica' is really what you're looking for, you might find that rather addictive. I do. Oooo.

SOK
