A lost gem from the exotica pioneer's catalog - and his last recorded album - Island Vibes paints a meditative tropical canvas of the Hawaiian Islands' natural beauty. A welcomed sonic transport to paradise, much needed in a (post-)pandemic world. Originally recorded with Broad Records, who's responsible for Phase 7's Playtime and other important 1970s and 80s-era local records. At eight years old, Arthur Lyman's music was already being played in public spaces via a toy marimba performance on the radio. While Lyman laughed about the experience, he would continue performing and ultimately debuted professionally at 14 with a jazz group. His skills earned him a place as a vibraphonist alongside exotica pioneer Martin Denny, although Lyman would leave the Denny's group soon after to pursue a solo career. Island Vibes would become Lyman's final recorded album, an embodiment of the term of "relaxation", relying solely on Lyman's instrumentation and the quaint lull of ocean waves to produce a picturesque atmosphere. （Aloha Got Soul） Side One 1.
