First off, I did a search to see if this topic has been covered, and it appears it hasn't. Apologies if this is redundant.
Anyway, I was just going through all of the versions of Quiet Village that I have, and I think I hear 3 exotica versions by Martin Denny. That's not counting the Moog and bossa nova versions. Am I hearing right? The first is from the Exotica I & II CD, the second is from the Quiet Village/The Enchanted Sea CD, and the third is from Ultra Lounge: Mondo Exotica CD. They all have different times, seem to sound different, and not just mixes.

Also, besides the 3 Denny exotica versions, I have 16 others in my collection, and they are by:

1. Les Baxter
2. Arthur Lyman
3. Martin Denny (Moog version)
4. Martin Denny (bossa nova version)
5. Earl Grant
6. The Aliis (with vocals)
7. Surfmen
8. Ted Auletta
9. John Evans
10. El Chicano
11. Ferrante & Teicher
12. Al Bollington
13. Bill Justis
14. Hawaiian Brass
15. Tommy Garrett
16. Leo Addeo

Any others to seek out?
