I'm glad Gene Rains is finally getting a CD release. As mentioned on The Quiet Village podcast: if you like it, buy it so labels know we want more re-releases of older exotica. Kevin

D DejaVoodoo Member Woodbridge, NJ Joined: Feb 07, 2008 Posts: 144	D DejaVoodoo Posted posted on Mon, Jul 28, 2014 6:22 PM Just got my two (2) copies of "Far Away Lands" from Amazon! What a beautifully produced package of long overdue tiki music on CD! Thanks to everyone at Tiki Central who had a hand in getting this music released as a physical, digital product. You guys rock! Ever since DigiTiki touted the wonders of Gene Rains on his Quiet Village podcast, I've wanted to own a piece of this wonderful slice of overlooked exotica. Now it's finally mine, and I'm going to spend the rest of the summer (and the years ahead) feasting on these 19 morsels! Bravo! [ Edited by: DejaVoodoo 2014-07-28 18:23 ]

I'm so proud to be part of this project along with everyone else who is involved. If you need a copy, you can get it through Amazon or directly from the Real Gone Music website. Also, I dropped some off at Oceanic Arts on Saturday in case anyone is in the neighborhood. I'll also have some with me on Sundays at Tonga Hut until my stock runs out. Mahalo! Tom
