Looking forward to it! I was just bemoaning the fact that my stash o' Tiki music is lame, lame, LAME (in that I don't have enough of it - and I can't just listen to Xmas Xotica all the time!)

Sounds terrific, Andy! I loved your first CD and promise that if you send me a copy of the new one I will play it my on Dr. Zarkov's Tiki Lounge radio show.

In due time, LLT... :)
Thanks Regan! Hope to see you soon!
Mahalo, Scott. See youz soon too, man.
Dr. Zarkov - It's a deal.

Here are some shots of the guest musicians, as promised...

Mr. Jimmy Virani, International Theremin Virtuoso. 'nuff said!

Mr. Jack Aldrich, the NW's Big Kahuna of the Lap steel/Hawaiian guitar. The sounds that this man came up with. Wonderful.

And Mr. Alika Lyman, great-nephew to Arthur, completely steals the show on a few songs. He's WAY ahead of the game with his skills.

Needless to say, I think most of you know the likes of Dave "Squid" Cohen & Mark Riddle/Marty Lush, so you know their kissers & their crazy talents.
JC Harris, upright bass- forgot to take a pic, but here's his link - http://www.jchmusic.com/
and Cudra Clover sent her tracks from Maui. But you can catch her cool shows at http://cudraclover.podomatic.com/

It was fun and a true honor to record with these amazing musicians.
Mahalo to them and to you all for your support~

More info coming soon~!

I was ignorant about the Theremin, can't wait to hear it on the CD. I played the trombone back before the Ice Age - a little similar in that there are no "stops" on the slide, you have to adjust pitch as you play

Mahalo Dawn (very sweet of you), Rum Balls (nice impression!), Mike (great trombone/Theremin analogy- totally agree) & LLT (thanks, mang!)

Mike- you can hear Virani's Theremin on the website in the song "HAWAII BLUE." There's a few other song samples there to give you a feel for the entire "Under the Midnight Sun" CD.

While on that subject, the website is now fully UPDATED (Thank You Fabulous Web-mistress Von Animous!) with a new bio, logo & the afore mentioned song samples. Check it out! http://www.tikijoesocean.com

Here is the final CD cover with text (Art courtesy Mr. Ken Ruzic and text via Dave "Squid" Cohen - thanks fellas!!!)

And PRE-SALE for "Under the Midnight Sun" starts TODAY!
Get yours now to listen to on the official release date- next Sat the 7th!

It was a real treat to find my copy of this CD in the mailbox last night, and I was even more pleased when I popped it into the player...

I really dig this album, from the cover art to the rich instrumental play and fast-paced rhythm in every track. Each contributing element comes through with great depth and crystal clarity. Especially love the other worldliness of the theremin in "Islands in Orbit", as well as the percussion and lushness (yes, Marty Lush-ness) throughout.

Thanks, Andy, for another wonderful composition, finely expressed through a superb ensemble of talented musicians.

Tom

Thanks so much, Tom. Yeah, Jimmy Virani's Theremin on "Islands in Orbit" is the soul of that song. Very happy you enjoy it!

Despite slacking off on ordering, my CD arrived in the mail Saturday :)

In a word: "Wow!" Amazing songwriting and playing, and great guests. First listen has been in a less-than-tiki environment (in a minivan doing errands), so tonight I'll listen outside on the Aloha Deck with a rum drink in hand.

Listened to the new CD for 2 hours on the way home and it ROCKS!!!!! Well, maybe "rocks" is a rather harsh term for such a melodic, relaxing groove :) Bravo - Well done!

I'd just like to add my voice to the chorus of praise. This is the strongest Tiki Joe CD yet. If you've been hesitating to buy any of these, now would be a good time to jump in ... C'mon in, the water's fine!

Kodyax posted on 08/30/2010

I'm importing this to my iTunes now. I bought all 3 CDs in one shot, because I liked what I heard on both Koop Kooper's Cocktail Nation and Digitiki's Quiet Village. The latest one I had to put in the track names by hand but that's a small price to pay to listen to this music.

Kodyax- Thanks for grabbing the entire catalogue at once!!! Enjoy!
WestADad- Thank you! Happy you dig "Quiet Voyage." I LOVE Squid's drummingon that one. Smooooooooooooooth.......

Thanks so much everyone! You've helped with the success of this project tremendously.

I just want to add my voice to the chorus of praise for "Under The Midnight Sun." I picked up a copy at Tiki Oasis and it's one of those records that immediately made it into heavy rotation. I can listen to it on repeat over and over again. A great record.

Next up, I'm going back and getting the Christmas record.

heylownine- Thanks so much! Happy to hear it's in heavy rotation. The Christmas CD was a platform (Latin music-wise) for the latest one, so I think you'll really enjoy it. Here's a thread from it & thanks again! -

TIKI JOE'S OCEAN's ‘Under the Midnight Sun’ “VIDEO” from the new CD....

Australian friend of Tiki Joe’s Ocean, Rohan, who goes by the handle “Careless Navigator,”
put together a nice video recalling the night when Shag came to town last month
for an event held at the stunning Boyd House in a suburb of Melbourne.
He asked to use “Under the Midnight Sun,” the lead-off track on the new Exotica/Latin/Lounge project
and he honored the musicians of TJO with a video capturing the feel of the evening within this classic mid-century pad.
Check it out here on his terrific website -

How awesome! That house is AMAZING but the music is what sold it! Great pairing!

I didn't realize how popular you are all over the world! Congrats.

The new CD is my favorite so far Andy - it's got a lot of texture and I enjoy the guest musicians as well. The theramin(sp?) is so eary-sounding - I would not have thought to add it to Exotica but it brings out the mystical side of Tiki music. I'm sure glad I got my copy early on - I hear you ran out there for a while! Excellent!

John- Thanks pally! I really like the b&w's, too. Great mix of media. Love to the family!
Mahalo Regan- Agreed, Virani's theremin certainly adds a whole new mood to the songs he's in. Very happy to have him with TJO on this one.
And yeah, you must be talking about leaving Oasis with one single "demo" copy on hand. Very cool thing to have happen. Thank you Taboo Island!
Paul- hahaha. I feel the same way. Would've been great to have been at that one! Hope you get a few more listenings on the Aloha Deck before Summer ends!

CHEERS~!
