| Video Discription | 1) Lunar Rhapsody from Music Out Of The Moon 2) 3:00 - Quiet Village 3) 6:18 - Sunken City from Jewels Of The Sea The first example I know is the 1947 album Music Out Of The Moon. This is considered Les Baxter's first exotica album of sorts, because he is leading the Capitol Records orchestra and he arranged the music. The melodies were composed by Harry Revel, and a theremin was played by Samuel Hoffman. That's the electronic instrument producing the mysterious tone, used in suspense movies from the 1940s on. Actually Baxter composed much of it because of all the arranging. The first Exotica album is considered to be Les Baxter's Ritual Of The Savage of 1952. He composed it all, and it depicted moods of African native life. It included his original of Quiet Village. 1952 was a 10" vinyl LP with 8 songs, in 1954 came a 12" LP with 12 compositions. The title used French words "Le Sacre de Sauvage". Many Baxter albums followed til the early 1960s, straight pop as well as exotica. It was called "mood music". His last for Capitol was Jewels Of The Sea in 1961. [uj2xM-URgKo] |
