===== Original Message From "vincent mersich" <vincentmersich@hotmail.com> I would also like to suggest, to anyone unfamiliar, picking up anything by composer/musician Esquivel. I wish I would have gotten into this incredible music earlier; he has brightened up my summer on a number of occasions.
Oooh nice, Esquivel will open up a whole new musical world for you - at least he did for me. If you like Esquivel why not check out Les Baxter, Martin Denny, Raymond Scott, or André Popp. I'm not saying they make the same music, but there are reference points, and they will certainly brighten up your summer even more.

And Yma Sumac, who I discovered last summer thanks to this very list and brightened it quite a bit. I'd recommend "Mambo" as an especially good album, with great cover art to boot! Julien
Hi,

I really think Esquivel pales in comparison to the others mentioned here, except for maybe, André Popp. A couple of days ago I received a very interesting album in that vein by Dean Elliot & His Orchestra "Zounds! What Sounds!" (Basta Music). The music isn't that innovative, but what's really shocking about it is the sound effects, anything from Cement Mixers to human coughings or air compressors mixed with a classic big band sound. There's no info about the recording date, but I assume this is from the late 50's-early 60's. Best, Efrén del Valle n.p: Esquivel "Infinity in Sound" (RCA Spain) ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
