Hawaii is the name of a film, and this is Martin Denny's version of the main title plus other songs. It is very much one of the best later records, with a very strong second side. "Oro" is exotica of a piece with Denny's best early work, and a new recording of "Sukiyaki" can be considered exotic rock. Another return to the old days are the James Michener liner notes.
