As the "God-father of Exotica", Les Baxter didn't simply define moody and mysterious music -- he created it. Les Baxter didn't just play enigmatic and exotic south-sea melodies, he composed them. The music that was to become known as "Exotica" was influenced by the raw sound of ethnic instruments and refined by the precision of orchestral arrangements. The result was haunting and erotic, sexy and evocative.

This collection includes the original version of "Quiet Village" and staples such as "Taboo", "Voodoo Dreams", "Stone God" and an inported basketful more. Rarities, previously unreleased music, artwork and photos make this a must for the Exotica fanatic.
