During the 1950s and early 1960s musical exotica produced by performers such as Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and Arthur Lyman enjoyed international success. The advent of rock music in the mid-1960s, however, led to the form's demise. A new generation recently has discovered this music and its styles in an ultra-chic nightclub culture that has appeared in urban areas of North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Many of the original recordings have been re-released, drawing the original performers out of retirement. Contributors to Widening the Horizon trace the rise and characteristics of this music and explore its role in cross-cultural communication. Leading popular music scholars examine exotica in terms of key performers and the implications of the production of both Oriental and Occidental exoticisms in the West and elsewhere. Chapters discuss Korla Pandit, Yma Sumac, tropical cool, soy sauce music, and Yanni, as well as many others.

Commissioned and edited to appeal to a crossover Film and Music Studies readership, Terror Tracks is an anthology that analyses the use of music and sound in the popular genre of Horror cinema. Focusing on the post-War period, contributors analyse the role of music and sound in establishing and enhancing the senses of unease, suspense and shock crucial to the genre. The anthology shows the various patterns of use an inflection in a range of scores - orchestral, popular, rock and electronic - and how these relate to non-musical sound. Lively and accessible, Terror Tracks is an important contribution

"An anthology of essays on the new syncretic, or 'fusion', styles of music of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific region, who have adopted forms of popular music as an expression of their cultural identity. Its strength lies in the layering up of a sense of community of inquiry, and the fostering of an intertextual head of steam, grounded in a set of empirical, rather than theoretical, concerns. It considers the interrelation between music, popular culture, politics and (national) identity, but also looks at the business aspect of producing and distributing music in the Pacific region."--
