Got it yesterday! :)

Warning "DO NOT" listen to this in a dark Tiki Bar. It will scare the hell out of you!!

Serious dark electronic warbling from a Moog synthesizer mixed with high pitched squealing strings. Very trippy shit!!

This is one of my favorite Les Baxter soundtracks but if your looking for Exotica look elsewhere.

I haven't had time to compare my copies yet. It could take awhile. The track sequences have been re-arranged, plus the boot doesn't have any track listings.

The Intrada release definitely sounds better, plus the extensive liner notes are really well written.

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff
