You want alternative culture? Heres the real thing. Francesco Adinolfi looks beyond the camp value and discovers the exotic urges that drove a generation that was supposed to be respectable. This terrific book reminds you that some of the most unique records ever made can still be found at your local garage saleand that its never too late to discover how to live.Brett Milano, author of The Sound of Our Town: A History of Boston Rock &Roll and Vinyl Junkies: Adventures in Record CollectingMondo Exotica is a cornucopia of data documenting lounge music and culture and their mid-1990s revival. Francesco Adinolfi has written a book that is as fun to read as the lounge lifestyle is fun to live!Otto Von Stroheim, DJ, founder of Tiki News, and organizer of the annual Tiki Oasis weekend event". . . Mondo Exotica is less a tribute to the Cold War era of musical exoticism than revealing testimony to the fads and fancies inhabiting the deep millennial fold separating the 20th century from the 21st. . . . the 'cocktail generation' alluded to in the book's subtitle is firmly located in the 1990s rather than the 1950s. . . . What emerges from the pages of Mondo Exotica is a view of 'exotic Easy Listening' as a form of cultural pathology rather than a closely defined musical genre . . . [a] fascinating study."--Ken Hollings, The Wire, April 2008Crammed with facts about sounds, composers, their histories, reminiscences and a whole lot more, Adinolfi has more than done his research, which, in such an odd, diverse and obscure field of music, has to be applauded...a very worthy edition to any bachelor pad. Jonny Trunk, Record Collector, September 2008Named in the Record Collectors 2008 list for Books of the Year: Rammed full of information and essential for any bachelor pad. Record Collector, Jan 2009
