Geoff, I just re-read the opening text of my booklet in the CD, and it together with what I wrote above, it explains my approach and concept for the compilation: Less evolutionary, more subjective and TIKI-centric:

"This album makes for an ideal companion to my books, Tiki Modern, and especially The Book of Tiki. I had briefly considered publishing that book with a CD to peruse it by, but dropped the idea in favor of more pages and an affordable price that would aid the dissemination of Tiki into the broader public consciousness. Now that that goal has been achieved, this CD will further sing the gospel of Tiki: The unifying theme of this compilation is that its titles directly or indirectly relate to the various concepts, characters, and plots that populate that American “Polynesian passion play” called Tiki Style. To some extent, all the tunes on this album are connected, historically or esthetically, to the popular myth of Polynesia in the mid-century."
