Big Baxter fan going way back. Our neighbors had their basement decked out in a polynesian theme like the tiki room and we listened to the exotica of Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and so on, while smoking big fat reefers and sipping exotic libations. So cool.

@BrownBrown90 That's the greatest god damned thing I've heard in awhile.....but then again I'm a member of a tiki forum. :O

Beautiful music. Cause of the intnernet I've become familiar w/Exotica music & the like. I'd love to hear this on stereo, especially back in the day when stereo was new. :)

The theremin has such a spooky sound.

Samuel Hoffman! Never knew he collaborated with Baxter he does a great verzhun of "You Were Meant for Me" 1952

What you may not know, is that according to Apollo astronaut Neil Armstrong's biographers, Neil took a tape copy of Samuel Hoffman's the theremin album MUSIC OUT OF THE MOON into space with him for the moon landing in July, 1969 and actually played this music in space. Coincidentally, Armstrong was born in 1930, the year the RCA theremin was introduced in America.
