    Technicolor Paradise: Rhum Rhapsodies & Other Exotic DelightsVarious Artists

    Numero Group

    Numero select a 'technicolour paradise' of some of the more esoteric moments from the 'exotica' music scene. Captured across this expansive release are curious examples of the short-lived genre’s reach, each summoning their own sonic visions of Shangri La, bringing their versions of the Pacific, Africa, and the Orient to the hinterlands of America.
