Some good ol' fashioned exotica from Dominic Frontier, who I believe is best known, if at all, for his film scores. Lush, inviting, cinematic, and probably problematic by today's standards. Claims to be an "interpretation of ancient Inca rituals, superstitions, and the romance and mysteries of their colorful civilization," but I'm guessing that it's the end result of about 25 minutes of research.

1. Festival
2. House of Dawn (Paccar-Tampu)
3. Temple of Suicide (Ixtab)
4. Moon Goddess (Ixchel)
5. Time of Sunshine (Yaxkin)
6. Goddess of Love (X-Tabai)
7. House of Pleasure (Tampu-Anca)
8. The Harvest (Zax)
9. Corn Festival (Zabacil Than)

Yeah, Dominic Frontier also is known for doing the music for The Outer Limits TV series among other music.
ReplyDeleteYes, the black and white outer limits series. Music ahead of its time. There are CDs out there of that music, but the less adventurous stuff was included on those. He also did orchestrations for the band "The Tubes" before he went to jail for tax evasion, related to illicit super bowl ticket sales...
