Ritualis

INCLUDES COLLECTIBLE MARK RYDEN MINI POSTER!

14 brand new original tracks, this time many with vocals and a number of actual Chansons d'amour straight from the heart but all still in the realm of Exotica!   

The CD cover art premieres a painting by surrealist master Mark Ryden and as if that wasn’t enough the CD insert folds out to an 9 ½ ”x 14” mini poster (suitable for framing) of the original art. The opposite side of the fold out (and back cover) includes photographs by Bosko at some of our favorite Southern California locales.

by Jeff Berry (aka Beachbum Berry)                                                                                                                         Review!

What hath Dutch ex-punk rock diva Truus De Groot wrought?  One thing "Rancho Exotica" isn't is yet another postmodern rerun of the usual Martin Denny lounge music.  Leave that to the retro remix crowd.  Truus has what they don't -- an imagination.  If you're looking for something new and different to mix your mai tai's by, look no further.  Truus has created a new kind of exotica music, a sonic dreamscape at once primordial and futuristic, ethereal and corporeal, amped up and mellowed out.  It's the soundtrack for the life you wish you were leading:  a life of moonlit nights on uncharted isles, of exploring ruined cities in jungle overgrowth, of travelling through space in interstellar overdrive.  My favorite tracks -- "Visitors," "Ua Ahi," and "Mystery Isle" -- put me in a fugue state I never want out of.  And what an orchestra she summons from the void:  Kafiristani monks on horns, Inca shepherds on flute, Meiji geishas on strings, Alpine maidens on vocals, and ancient Marquesan warriors, Bantu chieftains, and prehistoric locusts on percussion -- all mixed down by alien engineers from Alpha Ceti, in a Chinese opium den recording studio.  Check it out!

Quench your thirst for adventure!

Sippin' Safari is Beachbum Berry's fourth, all-new book in search of the great "lost" tropical drink recipes — and the people behind them. This time out, the Bum offers up 69 newly discovered vintage tropical drink recipes, 48 of which have never before seen print in any form. But that's just the beginning. He also tells stories about some of the most famous figures of the Polynesian Pop era, culled from interviews with those who actually created the midcentury Tiki scene. Sippin' profiles people as colorful as the drinks they invented, or served, or simply drank. People like Leon Lontoc, the Don The Beachcomber's waiter who served Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando by night, and acted in their movies by day; Henry Riddle, the Malibu Seacomber bartender who fed items about his famous customers to infamous gossip columnist Louella Parsons, till the day Howard Hughes found him out; and Duke Kahanamoku, whose manager turned him from Olympic champion into reluctant restaurateur. Profusely illustrated in full color, with vintage graphics and rare photographs you won't find anywhere else.
