Happy new year all! Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica and myself are very excited to have BOTH of our current Exotica For Modern Living albums cited in Tony Sach's 10 favorite albums for 2011 (Tony writes on music and spirits for the Huffington Post)! Check out this excerpt and link below:

That's so great, guys, right in line with the Beasty Boys and the Beach Boys! Way to be Exotica ambassadors! He must be a true fan...the way I am a fan of Paul Page, which made me include TWO tracks by him on my CD. :) |

Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica excels because they don't just call it exotica; it's great exotica because it's great music. In the same way that Bosko doesn't just shape a funny-looking cranium and call it a Tiki mug, Mr. Ho doesn't just throw in some slack key and bird calls and call it exotica (although there are some avian-style murmurings to be heard). The real ambassadors (good word, BigBro) are amazing artists first and foremost. |

I totally agree with the write. I am a fan of Esquivel and have been for decades, but I prefer this new CD! The sound quality is just over the top and the musicianship is superb. I need to get the blog post done on this. It totally revives the classic! |
