Orienta/ Tropical Fantasy
NEW, UNPLAYED! HAS NO UPC! ORIENTA + TROPICAL FANTASY! DOUBLE EXOTICA ON ONE CD! "Orienta is an album by The Markko Polo Adventurers released in 1959. The album was produced by Simon Rady, arranged and conducted by Gerald Fried and recorded in stereo in Hollywood, California. The album uses a combination of sound effects and Asian-inspired music to tell humorous vignettes. Its suggestive cover art features a photograph by Murray Laden. Orienta was an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of exotica music in the late 1950s. The genre's popularity peaked in 1959 as Martin Denny's 1957 album Exotica spent five weeks at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's album chart. The album's liner notes stated that the music "resembles the dreams of an imaginative person who has fallen asleep during a 'Dr. Fu Manchu' movie on television," with vignettes that "combine the sounds of the East with the wit of the West; the charm of the Orient with the humor of the Occident."" - wikipedia.org
