Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from April 30, 2015 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Hey Gary, thanks for stopping back by last week's Donovan show. I was so glad to hear you could dig it.

This image up here is from Zuber's scenic/panoramic wallpaper, "Vues de Bresil." Can you imagine having this thing on your walls, IN YOUR HOUSE?

This right here is, in my opinion, one of the best Exotica tracks that ever was or shall be

There a large city map on my office's wall. It doesn't cover the whole wall but was pretty expensive. I'd love to have some panorama in the frieze-type section of my recessed kitchen ceiling.

Hawaii here I come! The vocals make me feel like I'm about to meet Kirk.
Avatar 7:45pm
Flash Strap:

Glad to hear it, Hyde. I do tend to favor a coconut-creamy tiki cocktail, but the dark rum/campari of the Jungle Bird makes it my favorite, most sensible drink. For getting my head together, rather than melting it down.

There is something more Star Trek than usual about The Surfmen's blend of exotica.

I love this record, but boy does Kenny not really "get" Moondog

I like the Star Trekiness of them. Reminds me a little of the episode "The Way to Eden" when Spock goes all beat jazz on the Vulcan lute.
Avatar 8:03pm

Yes. Is that the one where Uhura sings that demented torch song in the ship lounge?

I believe Martin Denny also did a version of "Forbidden Island".

Walking Daydream:

Charlie X is the episode you're thinking of, I believe.
Avatar 8:08pm
Flash Strap:

I think so too. He definitely had a record by that name. I'd have to double-check that it's actually the same composition, but it almost certainly would be. Also, Hi, NGH!

@WD: you're right. Similar music, different episode. Two awesome scenes.

The only reason I know is b/c I have the album and Kid Koala also used it as a sample.

I'm definitely revisiting this show at work tomorrow. Yannick Dauby's frogs croaked in one of your shows and it caused quite the stir. Definitely some good beats I may want to pick out here.

That Dauby collection is really something, isn't it?
