An 18-song exhumation of the Capitol exotica back catalog, placing old standbys like
Martin Denny,
Les Baxter, and
Yma Sumac alongside lesser-knowns like
Webley Edwards,
Bas Sheva, and the wonderfully-named
80 Drums Around the World. This favors easy listening-friendly exotica, rather than the style at its most outrageous. It may be too naroticizing for some, but connoisseurs will appreciate the inclusion of the rarer material; a couple of the cuts were even previously unreleased. ~ Richie Unterberger
