SO so many great records here, many I have and many more I envy/want. That said, it's been a good year for new releases. This Spring/Summer I've freshened up ye olde Hi-Fi horde with this quartet of "new" LPs: top left: V/A - Taboo - An Exploration Into The Exotic World Of Taboo Volume 1 = 9 versions of "Taboo" on 10" wax top right: V/A - Voodoo Party Vol. 1 (reissue) = dark/mysterious Caribbean jazz/calypso/jungle exotica, it's all over the place with animal sounds, bwahwah horns, sensual strings, ritual drum descriptors, and etc. hullabaloo bottom left: V/A - Wild Boy: The Lost Songs of Eden Ahbez = worth it for the unreleased tracks and for Arthur Lyman's version of Eden's Island (I don't have the Lyman LP that includes it) bottom right: Elvis Presley - Way Down in the Jungle Room = the 2LP only features the "takes" and not the final tracks (I think the CD version has both?). Anyway, the takes are where it's at for the ambiance alone because it activates top-level escapism for especially tuned-in listeners. I mean, we all want to be there, right?
