If I were to make you a top 25 exotica record list, it should be among the "upper's". BUY! But first, BUY a grammophone, if you plan to seek out the worlds most beautiful music (exotica) you can't settle with military inventions (CD), invest in long playing records LPs that has atmosphere, style, smell, class, ambience and an attitude. Dog gone! M

(I just spoke with a new zealander this morning in LA...funny) I'm guessing you like music with a username like that, no? Welcome aboard, mate, you made a mighty fine purchase with that CD (or record, belly - he didn't specify :) ). It will stay in your CD player (or on your record player) for some time. Hope you're enjoying the opposite seasons... "Hey, at least I'm housebroken." [ Edited by: Polynesiac on 2004-12-15 02:00 ]

They were all from the (final) twelfth season (generally considered the series' worst). There is a small amount of commentary on them here: http://www.mjq.net/fiveo/5-0log12.htm The episodes were numbers 270, 271, and 274. This little tidbit of information may not be a huge advancement in the field of Drasnin appreciation, but I like drawing connections between one sphere of Polynesian Pop and another, and this is just the sort of connection I get a kick out of. Is Hawaii Five-0 tiki? No. But it's ... Hawaii Five-0! (Da-da-da-da, DA DA!)

TC Tiki Champagne Member Joined: Oct 29, 2007 Posts: 15	TC Tiki Champagne Posted posted on Mon, Oct 29, 2007 6:06 PM I just bought the CD re-issue of "Voodoo" and paid more than the going rate for music CDs. I think that this CD is getting more and more rare and hard to find. It's worth every penny that I paid for it. Voodoo and Voodoo II are two of the best exotica recordings that we'll ever have. HAPPY TIKI HALLOWEEN IN 2007 !!

The source media sounds like an old copy of the album. It has pops and scratch marks! Although it adds to the "vintage" sound, I wish that I could score a cleaner copy. :) A Hui Hou, Hanapepe

It was made from the original Master tapes and sounds INCREDIBLE. Unfortunately Pickwick wanted to keep this in their budget price CD's so they deleted 2 tracks. It is still worth seeking out though. I have some available in my eBay store and they are even signed by Robert Drasnin. PM me if interested. Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff
