OK, guys, how do you do it?!

I just got my copy of the new album today and barely made it through the first track before falling in LOVE! I was hooked after the unexpected drum hits that sound once DigiTiki (it is him as our captain/pilot again, correct?) makes his in-flight announcement and casually signs off with "Aloha, baby!" THAT WAS BRILLIANT! Those drum hits say so much and really announce the arrival of something special.

I love the whole backstory/lore built up around the album about the Tikiyaki Polynesian Village hotel, too. The album artwork/jacket really enhances the listening experience and allows the listener's imagination to run wild. ALOHA, BABY! is an escapist, transportive album, following in the footsteps - no, make that setting new standards and breaking new ground - in the grand tradition of Exotica music and all things Tiki.

Fantastic job, guys! I will be spinning this disc for MANY years to come! I only wish I could live in the world of the album.
