I can understand how some may not like this movement of music. But to me the cover art for a lot of theses records are excellent in a corny and cliched type of way. The whole fact that people sat around theirwhite picket fenced, formica countertop, vinyl sofa- house and listened to this as escapism music during the 50's and 60's is hilarious, just the contrast I guess between what was apckaged and how the audience acted towards it. All that being said, there is some really cool orchestral pieces amongst the whole ''exotica'' movement and good music is good music.
