It's a classic exotica record, with spooky chanted vocals, rich arrangements, lush strings and cool percussion. Often a bit much for me really, but when that mood comes......... The song selections are exquisite - 'temptation', 'baia', 'moon of manakoora', 'miserlou', 'flamingo', 'caravan', 'babalu', 'felicidade' (here called 'adieu tristesse')...It's just a matter of finding the right time to play this record... Trainspotter note: track 2, 'by the waters of minnetonka' is the track which DJ Food ripped off for the superb final track on their 'kaleidoscope' album. |
