Unlike other albums in the Exotic Sounds of series, this album does not contain the best work of the artist. I would start with ESO Martin Denny (which features Lyman) and then do Les Baxter and then this. . .
Arthur Lyman was about 35 years ahead of his time.:
Today this music would fall into the category of "world music" or "New Age" music. These are, I believe, the first musical recordings to incorporate animal/bird sounds into the music, and you'll enjoy the unabashedly lush quality of its orchestration. It is perhaps best understood as a blend of what came before and after-1940's Hollywood movie music of "paradise," and early '60's jazz. Arthur Lyman is a true original and sadly forgotten, though he still plays his unique style of music in Hawaii. Hawaiian, ethnic, New Age, jazz-it's impossible to pin just one label on him. I suppose, above all, he simply provides a unique listening experience. Try him; I think you'll be hooked.
Ahead of the Times:
If you can think back with the times of the 50's, you will note this artist had his stuff together. He used the best cutting lathes available at that time and focused heavily on the best duplicating/recording equipment he could find. The music is an outright display of what we do not have today, quality tunes. Arthur Lyman, only the best, then and today, hands down.
