Denny, Martin

Forbidden Island

There's a reason why Martin Denny remains a cultural touchstone - his records are as earthly as they are from outer space. 'Forbidden Island' was Denny's third record, recorded after a nine-month residency in Hawaii. This era finds Denny just on the cusp of being a household name, a period where his records would shortly become certified Gold. 'Forbidden Island' is a solidification of Denny being the King of the Exotica sound, where his recordings could illuminate just enough darkness across the tiki bar to let a few of us slowly dance the night away. The reissue also include the original iconic album artwork featuring model/actor Sandy Warner (which was often the gateway into these albums before we ever heard the music in these grooves).
