Mahalo Nomads & Beachcombers, Castaways, Drifters & Dreamers...

Face Beside the Fire is a forbidden island in the mind where conformity and dogma receive no neural berth.

Here the frenetic pace of modern life is but a distant memory and the natural world beckons you to indulge the primitive, the sensuous and sublime.

It is a place as timeless as infinity and infinite as imagination.

Martin Denny, 1911- 2005

The man who brought the name "exotica" to this genre. The King of the Tiki Hut. Denny not only brought exotica its biggest hit of all time with his #2 single of Les Baxter's "Quiet Village,", he gave two other key figures in exotica--Arthur Lyman and Julius Wechter--their starts, and influenced several generations of lounge performers.

So mix yourself a Mai Tai, drop a little umbrella into your glass, kick off your shoes, and put a Martin Denny album on the turntable and take a trip to the Hawaii of your mind. Aloha! - from spaceagepop.com
