1	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica (1996) more music like this by Various Artists An 18-song exhumation of the Capitol exotica back catalog, placing old standbys like Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Yma Sumac alongside lesser-knowns like Webley Edwards, Bas Sheva, and the wonderfully-named 80 Drums Around the World. This favors easy listening-friendly exotica, rather than the style at its most outrageous. It may be too ... see all copies from £7.89! new only from £8.74!
2	Quiet Village/The Enchanted Sea (1997) more music like this by Martin Denny Martin Denny is rightfully known as the king of exotica/lounge music. The music is defined by breezy, middle of the road, early-60's pop arrangements buttressed by sound effects of ocean, wildlife, birds, and other natural phenomenon. Scamp Records out of New York has done an excellent job of reissuing his original albums, and this CD, which ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £10.55!
3	Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Pt. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Christmas Cocktails, Vol. 2 is an entertaining but unspectacular collection of classic carols performed in a lounge fashion. For connoisseurs of kitsch, it's an entertaining disc, but other listeners might find the camp a little too much to take. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.01! new only from £8.01!
4	Ultra-Lounge Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £5.81! new only from £13.42!
5	Afro-Desia: The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny (1959) more music like this by Martin Denny Nominally, this represents Martin Denny's attempt to evoke the ambience of the African continent, after having done the same for the South Pacific via a series of early albums. Denny does use marimba, vibes, bongos, congas, and timbales -- not to mention sound effects of a buzzing tsetse fly and the rain forest. But the result is even less ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £10.46!
6	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 14: Bossa Novaville (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £4.47! new only from £8.74!
7	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The 16th volume of the Ultra-Lounge series is one of its finest. As its subtitle indicates, Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood focuses on soundtrack music reinterpreted in a lounge style. This tactic works nicely because the material chosen is resilient enough to withstand the interesting interpretations they get here: Good examples include ... see all copies from £6.48! new only from £6.48!
8	Ultra-Lounge: On the Rocks, Pt. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Extending their kitschy Ultra-Lounge series to its logical conclusion, Capitol Records prepared its own variation of Rhino's Golden Throats discs with the two volumes of On the Rocks. The idea is to gather a number of '60s rock & roll staples -- "Light My Fire," "Mellow Yellow," "A Hard Day's Night," etc. -- as they were covered by mainstream pop ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £8.70!
9	The Best of Martin Denny's Exotica (2006) more music like this by Martin Denny Since the mid-'90s resurgence of easy listening or space age bachelor pad music, the majority of both original LPs and compilations by the pioneers of the genre -- Esquivel, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, and Martin Denny -- saw a glut of reissues, both good and bad. Unfortunately, the best of those discs aren't as easy to find some ten years later as ... see all copies from £9.56! new only from £11.91!
10	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 18: Bottoms Up (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £7.57! new only from £8.70!
11 view cover	Forbidden Island/Primitiva (1996) more music like this by Martin Denny This two-fer combines Martin Denny's third and fourth LPs into one single-disc CD reissue, with new liner notes by Martin himself augmenting the original artwork. If you're interested enough in this exotica bandleader to want more than a greatest-hits collection, it's a good investment. The fidelity's much better than what you're likely to find if ... see all copies from £8.25! new only from £10.55!
12 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The organ has a respected slot in the space age pop/lounge lineup, and Organs in Orbit gives the Hammond its due by featuring 18 cuts in the style, originally recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s. It's a long way from here to Jimmy Smith, and you should check any hopes for funkiness at the door. If you've got a yen for the inimitable ... see all copies from £7.34! new only from £7.34!
13 view cover	Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this by Martin Denny This passable Greatest Hits collection from the Curb label may only yield a scant ten songs from the vast arsenal of exotic goodness that is the Tiki torch world of Martin Denny, but as far as budget-priced compilations, one could do a whole lot worse. "The Enchanted Sea," "Quiet Village," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," "Martinique," and "A Taste of ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £6.17!
14 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale (1996) more music like this by Various Artists As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ... see all copies from £7.26! new only from £8.74!
15 view cover	Hypnotique/Exotica III (1997) more music like this by Martin Denny Two of Martin Denny's Liberty albums from 1958, Hypnotique and Exotica III, are combined on this 1997 CD. Hypnotique takes Denny's exotic sound to Asia with the use of Japanese instruments applied to melodies such as "Chinese Lullaby" and "On a Little Street in Singapore." Even some of Western songs like "St. Louis Blues" and "Summertime" receive ... see all copies from £7.32! new only from £7.32!
16 view cover	The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny [Capitol] (1996) more music like this by Martin Denny Part of the great exotica resurgence of the earl '90s, this compilation from "Tiki God" Martin Denny is about as good a beach accompaniment as one could hope for. Over the span of two discs and 43 tracks, Denny and his able-bodied band provide both islanders and the landlocked with the perfect kitschy soundtrack to a hot summer night. His biggest ... see all copies from £15.70! new only from £15.70!
17 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 9: Cha-Cha De Amor (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Cha-cha music at its Whitest and most easy listening-friendly, recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s by Dean Martin, Julie London, Billy May, Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Walter Wanderley, and a number of other performers who are only coming to light in the lounge revival. Yma Sumac, Perez Prado, and Tito Rodriguez add a little (a very little) ... see all copies from £6.14! new only from £7.11!
18 view cover	Instrumental Gems of the Fifties (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Instrumental Gems of the Fifties rounds up 40 hits, some of which are otherwise difficult to find on CD. Although most of the tracks are orchestral hits, the inclusion of Ernie Freeman's "Raunchy" and Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" add variety and a little context, considering that many of these orchestral intrumentals coexisted and competed with ... see all copies from £14.45! new only from £18.27!
19 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 17: Bongoland (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The lounge songs of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are all dominated by the pulsating rhythms of the bongo drum. As with other instrument-specific CDs in the Ultra Lounge series (Saxophobia, Organs in Orbit), it can be too much. However, there is some great mood music here, perfect for creating a Latin-tinted party ambience. "Taboo," by Leo ... see all copies from £8.74! new only from £8.74!
20 view cover	Ultra-Lounge: Tiki Sampler (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Capitol's virtually unending series of lounge/exotica compilations gets its own retrospective with Ultra Lounge: Tiki Sampler, a collection of tracks from several volumes of the Ultra Lounge series plus On the Rocks, Vols. 1-2 and single-artist sets devoted to Jackie Gleason, Martin Denny and Les Baxter. It's not a bad buy at that, distilling ... see all copies from £13.31! new only from £13.31!
21 view cover	The Exciting Sounds of Martin Denny: Exotica/Exotica, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Martin Denny The two Martin Denny albums that gave the exotica style its name and popularized its sound, originally released circa 1957, are here combined onto one compact disc. If you want more Denny after you're finished with Rhino's best-of, this should be the next stop. Only seven of the 24 tracks here duplicate the Rhino set, Denny wrote the extensive ... see all copies from £7.45! new only from £7.45!
22 view cover	Vintage Instrumentals, Vol. 6 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £7.29! new only from £7.29!
23 view cover	The Best of Martin Denny [EMI] (1998) more music like this by Martin Denny This is a compilation of previously released recordings. This album is notable for its large color photo of the group. Tony Wilds, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.12!
24 view cover	Vintage Instrumentals, Vol. 5 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £9.57! new only from £9.57!
25 view cover	Baked Alaska: The Cool Sounds of Martin Denny (2003) more music like this by Martin Denny Allegedly, Martin Denny's one and only live recording was of this September 1964 set at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Anchorage, AK. Not intended for commercial release, Baked Alaska was culled from tapes of the live broadcast of the show on Alaskan Air Force Command Radio. The sound quality suffers a bit from the transfer and the crowd noise ... see all copies from £9.40! new only from £12.55!
