Greetings! I'm new here and this is my first post. Before I posted, I used the search page to see if there had been a discussion on this topic before, but all I could come up with was a fascinating thread in which members posted long lists of their LPs--I learned about a lot of great music this way, but unfortunately for me, most of the LPs are not yet available on CD, and I don't have a turntable right now that works. I've got a growing collection of exotica CDs which include all the usual suspects--Denny, Baxter, Lyman, Mondo Exotica, Mancini's exotica offering, Sumac, Drasnin, and so forth. After spending much time on Amazon, I've run out of ideas, thus my questions to you are this: What obscure CDs can you recommend? Do you have any prized CDs you'd like to share with us? Or do you know of some CDs which have an exotic appeal that others here may not have heard of, or thought of? My suggestion to you are Nelson Riddle's Sea of Drreams and Love Tide on a two-fer by Capitol Records. Kind of "easy listening" exotica but lovely nonetheless. Cheers, Jeff
