There are early glimpses here of where he was starting to head with psychedelic-treated pianos, ethereal female vocals, and abstract orchestration beginning to find their way into the listener's ears. It's an album that seems less comical than some of his earlier work, with an allure more from the heart, without the heartbreak (even though the occasional tinge of wistfulness surrounds it).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrade Winds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Isle Of Golden Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStardust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong Of The Islands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlotsam And Jetsam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeyond The Sea (La Mer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff Shore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSentimental Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeyond The Reef\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaubles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross Current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Enchanted Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Denny","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Green","offer_id":43597226868927,"sku":"JPR115-GN","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/JPR115_Cover_STKRcopy_974x_4a80eb58-b69d-4d1b-9331-670061001a23.jpg?v=1723065597"},{"product_id":"martin-denny-forbidden-island-lp","title":"Forbidden Island","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e1xLP pressed on Red \"Dark Lava\" Vinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSourced from the original master tapes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginally released in 1958\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRELEASE DESCRIPTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a reason why Martin Denny remains a cultural touchstone—his records are as earthly as they are from outer space.

From the faster-than-light of \"Cumana\" to the luscious groove of \"Moonlight On The Ganges\" (made famous by Frank Sinatra and a track that is still being played on a loop at Disneyland's Jungle Cruise attraction), it's a whiplash of a ride.
