RAINS GENE - CD FAR AWAY LANDS

Popis - FAR AWAY LANDS:
Among devotees of exotica music and tiki culture, vibraphonist Gene Rains is one of the Big Three of exotica, with Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman being the other two. (Though Les Baxter had some notable releases in the genre, exotica was not his
primary focus, so he isn't generally considered in the same league as the Big Three). Yet, while Denny and Lyman have seen their entire album catalogues come out on CD, and many collections compiled of their work, to date Gene Rains has
remained a true cult figure, with NONE of his albums released on compact disc. The CD 'Far Away Lands-The Exotic Music Of Gene Rains' restores Rains to his rightful place in the exotica pantheon, featuring key tracks (plus the original cover art) from all three of Rains' '60s Decca albums. The liner notes are written by compiler Randy Poe.
