Exotica is the first album by Martin Denny, released in 1957. It contained Denny's most famous piece, "Quiet Village", and spawned an entire genre bearing its name. It was recorded December 1956 in Webley Edwards' studio in Waikiki (not, as often reported, the Aluminum Dome at Henry J. Kaiser's Hawaiian Village Complex). The album topped Billboard's charts in 1959.

The 19 tracks on The Best of Martin Denny's Exotica are original recordings from his Liberty albums and include the hits "Exotica," the Les Baxter-penned "Quiet Village," "Hypnotique," "Jungle Drums," and "The Enchanted Isle. Also of special interest is a previously unreleased five-minute interview with Denny and heartfelt liner notes penned by his daughter Christina. Unfortunately, the best of those discs aren't as easy to find some ten years later as they once were, making this 2006 compilation a welcome arrival.

Best Of Martin Denny's Exotica.

Previously released recordings except track 19 which was unreleased.

During the Nuclear Age, Americans escaped impending thoughts of annihilation with the help of Martin Denny and his relaxing exotic island lounge music. Though some of Denny's signature birdcall backgrounds still sound more scary than soothing, his music retains the power to transport you away from the land of super malls and freeways to a place where nature, men and women live in a Technicolor paradise.
