Jeff, thank you for all your supportive posts, your vinyl archeology has enriched this forum immeasurably. I wonder how many T.C.ers trace their Exotica exposure back to Throbbing Gristle. I never understood why, when they loved Martin Denny so much, they never made any music as beautiful as his! :)
And I wonder how many members of the original Exotica Mailing List are here on TC now.

Wasn't there a thread here once on all the varieties of new interpretations of the original "Exotica" cover? How many are there? Here are two examples of how Sandy Warner's bewitching come hither look on "Primitiva" inspired some of today's artists:

...but back to the main thrust of this thread, the first MUSICAL exposure to Exotica!
