I like that the guy has his own judgment, and don't just give a list of albums without expressing his opinion, and giving advice on what to get. Like Jeff, of course, I don't agree with everything on the article, and I don't consider Esquivel as Exotica. Well, even Korla Pundit is not truly 100% exotica. Also, I don't see why Gene Rains or Drasnin would be more difficult to appreciate than Denny or Baxter. I think Drasnin sounds more like Denny than Les Baxter, who is more orchestral and harder to get. And yeah, Waitiki man. Someone sends him a CD !! And what about Don Tiki, Bo Axelson ? And Drasnin's Voodoo II is some very great contemporary exotica, don't you think ?
