Various Artists: Heat Wave, The Intoxicating World of Nexotica As Dug By Lux and Ivy

• 23 tracks of lush ambient exotica, straight from the space age bachelor pad.

• Featuring veterans of the exotica genre, Les Baxter, Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, along with the original laidback dude Eden Ahbez.

• Including legendary composer Henry Mancini, jazz crossover legends Cal Tjader, Esquival and Stan Kenton plus lauded musicologist Elisabeth Waldo.

A mysterious trip into imaginary lands where stone Gods, midnight rituals, zen and the art of total hypnotic relaxation is key.

Experience the five octave range of Yma Sumac, the sound of voodoo, distant oceans and the chant of the jungle without leaving your sofa.

With obscure gems from Robert Drasnin, Bianchi And The Jungle Sex-Tet, The Markko Polo Adventurers and Jack Fascinato.

All streamlined into over an hour of distant surrealism by MOJO magazine’s Dave Henderson.
