This stands up to any Martin Denny album as an example of exotica in full flight, decorated with lots of bird noises and soft vibraphone. The songs do tend to melt into each other without much in the way of striking differences, and it's not likely it would be played often except by those who can't get enough Arthur Lyman in the house. "Jungle Fantasy," though, is notable as an example of exotica at its most frenetic, with exuberant birdcalls from the band and a fast tempo that has more in common with rhumbas than Hawaiian music. The CD reissue restores the original sleeve, whose distorted tikified heads were considered "too gruesome" upon its initial release. ~ Richie Unterberger

Soon after Tiki combo leader and pianist Martin Denny scored a smash hit with EXOTICA in 1957, his vibraphonist Arthur Lyman, who unlike Denny really was Hawaiian, struck out on his own to ply his wares in the newly lucrative exotica market. Again, unlike Denny, who had a stately and stodgy, even clumsy approach to this material, Lyman possessed a soft and fluent touch on his instrument, a facility reflected in his own combo. Plus, Lyman's virtuosity enabled him to sometimes improvise at something near full speed, close to the pace of a credible jazz player, though he wouldn't win any cutting contests with Milt Jackson. Or he could playfully fool around with themes like the "Colonel Bogey March." Still, the musical concept on TABOO is by no means original (Lyman even lifts Denny's trademark bird calls), ...

Taboo 2: New Exotic Sounds Of Arthur Lyman songs
$11.99
The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic pop constructions makes for a compelling artistic tension.

Taboo 2: New Exotic Sounds Of Arthur Lyman album
$11.99
On his first record since his Oscar nomination courtesy director Gus Van Zandt's use of his music in the film "Good Will Hunting," Elliott Smith returns with another album's worth of gorgeous misery. Like Nick Drake before him, Smith has the ability to conjure beautifully poignant pathos, wrapping it in an elaborately arranged package worthy of a George Martin or Brian Wilson. Working with Beck/Foo Fighters producer Rob Schnapf, Smith uses Abbey Road Studios for some of these sessions, dressing up his tortured lyrics with orchestral arrangements that avoid any hint of mawkishness.
