Customer Reviews:

Not up to par with the old masters.......2006-07-03

I bought this album on the strength of the reviews here and brief samples available for download. I love Exotica music, but once you've got some Denny, Lyman, and Baxter, it's tough to find anything contemporary that comes close. Well, this does come close, but it's just not quite there. There are a couple things in particular that got in the way of my enjoying this album. The first and biggest complaint is the over-reliance on synthesized instruments, which you don't totally get the feel of in the Amazon samples. A bongo drum track and synthesized vibes make me think of a recording studio, not a tropical paradise. Also, some of the vocals sounded a little tinny and grating to me. From now on I'll stick to the work of the past masters. If you are considering buying, I'd recommend going to the Don Tiki website and listening to some of the samples there. They are longer than the Amazon samples and will give you a better feeling for what the music really sounds like.

Lots of tropical birds, wild animals and other environmental sounds. I think the natives are getting restless.

good stuff.......2003-08-10

If you like music by Les Baxter and Martin Denny, then you will enjoy this CD also.

the real deal.......2003-02-20

ive been a fan of denny and baxter for years, and thought i would never see the day when a combo would capture the vibe of these archtypes. So i put off buying this record with the fear of being let down, what a mistake!!! this record is brilliant!!!
all the elements are there including the production,and it can be safely said that don tiki is of the caliber of his influences.
if a hammock in the sun or the smell of the sea are your ideas of pleasure, this record will transport you where you want to go.

Pure lounge.......2002-12-18

How i love this album! Listening to it is like sliding into a luscious dream where beautifull people sip martini's by the pool, skies are blue and all worries seem distant. It has this great cinematic feel to it, taking you back to the late
fifties/early sixties. It reminded me allot of the early Bond movies. Apart from the beautifull atmosphere this music airs, it's also brilliantly composed and produced.
My advise: Book your flight to Don Tiki island now!
