Description:
For as long as man beheld the ocean's splendor, inspiration has come with the tides and stayed to work it's magic on the imagination. To a composer the sea offers wondrous motion, a shimmering surface of flowing mystery. Les Baxter gratefully accepted these things, and distilled them into exotic miniatures of dream-like beauty - sparkling, opalescent gems. Dreamy, sensual, iridescent, abstracted, this is quintessential Les Baxter. Baxter invented exotica and imposed his passion for Stravinsky and Debussy on escapist travelogue themes to create a unique form of popular music that was far from "easy listening" in the conventional sense. El. 2012.
