Lifes difficult enough without having to open a new browser everytime I want to post something so all new posts will be be to the new Xtabays World site starting with the above album.

Remember to bookmark Xtabays World.

Would you believe the second most subversive song ever? How about one that made Richard Nixon just slightly more paranoid than usual? Well go to Exotic Moods and find out how the sacred cows stampeded 60s America!

sacred cows

Love those minah bird covers. Exotic Paradise.

Hmm East meets West.

Practically defines space age pop. Tartaglian Theorem.

Tak is definitely not tacky. Bamboo again.

To celebrate nearly 12 months since I started this site as the successor to Planet X here is a great 3 Suns exotica video called Volcano. This was created by Mike but I've edited it a bit and converted it so its playable on this site. This song was only available as a 45 and never officially appeared on a 3 Suns album. As my first post was a video (Ed Wood) its appropriate I post another at this time.

Stop the press blognow is not letting me post videos. Also Firefox no longer comes up with an entry box for new entries so I have to use a new browser when I want to create a new share. Time for a return to Blogger?

Anyhow my friend Xotica has kindly uploaded the video to his new blog Exotic Moods so you can go there to view it.

Exotica

A beautiful album from Martin Denny protege Ethel Azama.  Ethel.

Another great album cover. Not a bad album of polynesian music either. They certainly knew how to get your attention in the 70s. Bare view.

Isn't this a grand picture of a dog created by my friend Julie. The character of the dog and the artist shine through. Julie does art work on order and her web site is here for examples of her work. She lives in Western Australia but I'm sure she can do work for people in any area.

What an album! What a cover! This is a request and I think it was for the music as well. Feel free to adapt the cover as a desktop background if you want. I think Rato could do something quite interesting with it.

Oh yes heres the music.

One of the best exotica jungle albums this side of Hatari.

Those Clebanoff Strings sure are exciting.

Oriental percussion and harum girls? You came to the right place!

Mr & Mrs Herbert Janeiro of California this is for you. They were the original owners of this album according to the label in the top left corner of the cover scan. Little did they know that their record would be digitised and shared on the net, future innovations of which they would have been blissfully unaware.

This is a compilation I made up ages ago and it has been requested so here it is.

So there you have it. Have a good weekend!
