Exotica, baby. Can you dig it?

Space Age Pop a go-go. Space Age Pop and Exotica album covers, complete with track listings and fun little comments. For fans of Dick Hyman, Arthur Lyman, Martin Denny, Esquivel, Ultra Lounge, and Shag. Even better, 317x.com offers enlargements. I Dig Chicks!. Tabu! Unsure of what all this might be? Take a listen (real audio only), with lots to choose from.

Oh, lovely! My favorite site however is undoubtly BIZARRE RECORDS, where you can hear soundsnippets of some of the most insane stuff ever pressed on vinyl.

Wow -- the Martin Denny covers are wonderful -- almost live up to the brilliance of "Quiet Village!"

How can I have gone this far through life without knowing about the Retro Cocktail Hour? Ashbury, I am indebted to you. And the great state of Kansas.
