The ever-brilliant Aloha Got Soul Records is about to release a lost masterpiece of exotica.
Arthur Lyman played vibraphone and marimba, and with these tools, nature sounds and some fine musicians backing him up, he managed to conjure up images of life in the South Pacific and Hawaii, which had just become our 50th state in the United States.
This album was originally recorded on Broad Records in 1980, but it seems to have been forgotten, which is surprising given the explosion of exotica, easy listening and lounge music which occurred during the 1990s.
As of today (July 23, 2021), there are three tracks available for listening. Each sound relaxing, and definitely in keeping with Lyman’s mellow sound.
