Mondo Exotica: Sounds, Visions, Obsessions of the Cocktail Generation ReviewI love lounge music in all its many incarnations: space age pop, exotica, spy music, crime jazz, etc. I was hoping this would be a nice companion to the two other books on the genre. Unfortunately, it only half lived up to the promise.
It just gets too many facts wrong. Big ones and little ones. The author totally buys into the "myths" of Korla Pandit, Chaino and others without finding their true stories. Biographies of other artists are oddly brief.
In addition, the author ignores the music scene in England, France, and South America. How can one write a book about this period of music and not mention the influence of the Brazilian Bossa Nova artists?
On the other hand, it does fill in a lot of blanks in the histories of Italian film music composers and offers a very useful catalog of artists and their albums. For that, it's almost worth the money. I wish the author had done the entire book on the Italian music world.
