Quiet Village


Monday morning- let's start the week with Martin Denny's 1959 instrumental hit Quiet Village, a song which summarises the 1990s (and beyond) ironic, lounge/exotica revival in three minutes and thirty six seconds of piano, woodblock and parrot noises. Very nice.

Now there's something you don't hear nearly often enough in music, namely bird calls and whistling, a bit of almost off-key piano, man alive it could be an early example of prog.

Prog is where you find it I guess.
