Vibraphones and marimbas, bongos and congas, piano and theremin and space echo... just a sampling of all the instruments employed by Rubin Steiner & The Dictaphone to create this compilation of pure exotica, a tribute to their vast collection of past masterful albums: Les Baxter, Martin Denny, Esquivel, Eden Ahbez, to name but a few. Exploring new audio terrain, the pair of musicians here try their hands at tropical rhythms and melodies as lovely as they are simple and direct. A timeless compilation travelling beyond trends and fashion. Caribbean swing or slow samba, bossa-pop or coconut-mood, it's up to each listener to try to describe these twelve curious compositions, true instant classics. Perfect for warming your winters, accompanying your summer siestas, or drifting off to imaginary isles and heavenly bikini-beckoning beaches...
