Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Bad Freaky Star Trek episode music?.......2005-07-10

Contrary to what the one other person who reviewed this said, it does NOT sound anything at all like Latin American ethnic music. If you want that, scope out a CD called Flutes of the Andes. This stuff sounds more like the funky music they recorded for the original Star Trek series for when they encountered weird alien cultures. Bad, bad, BAD!

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent Waldo!.......2004-06-30

This is a magnificent CD of 2 vinyl albums from about 40 years ago. Elisabeth Waldo captures what she feels ancient Latin American music sounded like, with her masterful violin as lead instrument. Today it is as magical, vibrant and colorful as it was then. Although it has an "ultra-lounge" feel to modern ears, it remains exotic and very exciting to listen to... and quite frankly, great fun. I recommend this for anyone who also loves the sound of Yma Sumac, Martin Denny or the classic albums of Les Baxter. Bravo!
