EXOTICA
VA - Psychedelic Exotica (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3
Psychedelic Exotica is a genre that harmoniously fuses the mind-altering influences of Psychedelic music with the tropical charm of Exotica. This genre is a symphony of sound, masterfully crafted from the fusion of two distinct musical styles.
Psychedelic music, a product of the psychedelic era, aims to mimic and amplify the consciousness-expanding experiences associated with psychedelic substances. It frequently utilizes cutting-edge recording techniques and effects, and finds inspiration in non-Western sources, such as the ragas and drones of Indian music.
Exotica music, a genre of easy listening that reached its zenith between the late 1950s and mid-1960s, is celebrated for its tropical, pseudo-exotic, and stereotypical portrayals of other cultures. Its popularity was propelled by the 1957 Martin Denny album bearing the same name.The amalgamation of these two genres gives birth to Psychedelic Exotica.
Added to this compilation's mix are elements of Sci-Fi Space Lounge Jazz sounds. A sound that often integrates futuristic themes and sounds, evoking the imagined future from the perspective of yesteryears. This genre is characterized by its capacity to stimulate the senses and teleport listeners to a different era and dimension. It truly encapsulates the spirit of musical exploration and innovation.
The overall sound is distinguished by its evocative, mystical, and other-worldly attributes. It frequently features exotic instruments, unconventional sound structures, and intricate, complex melodies. Immersing oneself in Psychedelic Exotica is like setting sail on a musical odyssey to far-off and imagined lands, infused with elements of the surreal and the psychedelic.
Embark on your musical journey and enjoy the 69 tracks that make this an enjoyable ride. (B)

ReplyDeleteHi MrDave.
DeleteI've been on a bit of an exotica revival at the moment.
I think the music is generally wonderful and full of surprises.
Pulling this hypothetical genre together was fun.
Cheers.
