LES BAXTER The Fruit Of Dreams (2009 issue UK 22-track CD album containing a fantastic combination of Baxter's rarest, best and internationally acclaimed masterpieces 'Ports Of Pleasure' and 'The Sacred Idol' which are both, remarkably previously unreleased on CD. Les Baxter was the founding father of exotica, a variation of easy listening that documented the sounds and styles of the South seas, India and South America. Exotica became a massively popular trend from the early fifties and with the onset of international jet travel, making it possible for middle-class Americans to simulate an authentic travelogue experience in the comfort of their suburban homes, full of the adventure of life, the sounds of exotic lands and the free spirit of life close to nature!)
