Ya know… I was wondering about the possibility of AI Origin myself. I've been exposed to TONS of "AI Exotica" over the last year or so (more, not less) and none of it sounds anything as close to real exotica as this.

The Art is Nothing But AI, of course, but the "Creator" obviously knows more than just what Wikipedia describes Exotica as. On top of that, the Christmas focus suggests human "direction" at the very least, and I found it to be pretty impressive.

Tokyo Aquarium has another Christmas offering here: https://open.spotify.com/album/4g7GVE32iwUedwqzYb7UmW

Not as Exotica, but definitely within the Surfxotica realm.

The Term, or Name, "Tokyo Aquarium" pops up all around the innerweb in response to different search criteria (primarily as an "Aquarium Shop" in Los Angeles), so who knows it that's an actual name of an actual band!?!

I've gotta say… I've been collecting vinyl since about 1967 (Okay. I Started REALLY Early) and this AI Crap is threatening to ruin everything that I love about New Music.

Happy Holidays Everybody!
