Description

A deep cut from the godfather of exotica, Exotic Moog finds Martin Denny stepping into new territory at the tail end of the 1960s, blending his signature tropical lounge sound with early synthesizer textures.

Originally released in 1969, this record captures a moment where classic exotica meets the emerging world of electronic music. The warm, percussive rhythms and island-inspired arrangements are still here, but now layered with the distinct tones of the Moog, giving the album a futuristic, space-age edge.

Denny reinterprets a mix of standards and familiar melodies, including Quiet Village, Yellow Bird, and The Enchanted Sea, alongside cinematic and pop selections like Midnight Cowboy and Cast Your Fate to the Wind. The result is a unique fusion of lounge, psych, and early synth experimentation.

Long sought after by collectors, Exotic Moog stands as one of the more adventurous entries in Denny’s catalog. This reissue on classic black vinyl brings that rare blend of exotica and electronics back into rotation where it belongs.

Why We Carry It

A must for exotica heads and anyone digging into the roots of lounge and early electronic crossover. It is Martin Denny pushing the boundaries of his sound while still keeping that signature island atmosphere intact.
