Dark Exotica: As Dug By Lux And Ivy Four Albums On 2Cds

Four classic exotica albums on one CD. Groovy sound from Lux And Ivys imaginary basement. A deep dive into the darker sound of bachelor pad music, filled with effects, jazz asides and heady rhythms. Heavy conceptual nuggets that defy boundaries. Featuring The Buddy Collette Septets super rare Polynesia, the holy grail of weird exotica. Plus pianist John McFarlands Provocatif from 1959, which flows with a jazz vibe that propels proceedings into new territory. With Stan Kentons off-kilter jazz melting pot Cuban Fire, a breath taking set of arrangements from Johnny Richards compositions. And Bill Russos eerie concept album based on the seven deadly sins, like a dramatic score for a play thats unravelling in Russos mind. A long way from the Tiki bar in Vegas; this is music from the dingier side of town, sounds that seek escapism but are hell bent on twisting the plotline as much as they can, all set for the kind of shack that Quentin Tarrantino might inhabit with John Travolta looking decidedly seedy just of camera. Remastered from the original sound sources, with sleevenotes by MOJOs Dave Henderson
