An amazing little set that's as compelling as the title and cover might imply – and easily one of our favorite
Martin Denny albums ever! There's a sound here that is, actually, quite "hypnotique" – as
Denny's core combo is expanded by some larger arrangements, Japanese instrumentation, and even some cool vocals by the Jack Halloran singers – all of which serve to create these pulsating musical lines that shift and sway with an extremely dreamy quality, one that can easily hypnotize us with its musical magic! The added sound really adds a lot to
Denny's core group – and the record has some great tracks like "Jungle Madness", "American In Bali", "Chinese Lullaby", "Hypnotique", "Scimitar", and "Voodoo Dreams".
(Stereo black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has clear tape on the top & bottom seams, splitting on the spine, light surface wear & aging.)
