Sybaritic sounds

Combustible Edison deserve some love. Not only did they make themselves expertly versed in Lounge/Exotica/Space Age Pop conventions well before it was remotely hip, but they themselves helped make it all hip for a time. And they were pretty good craftsmen about it for the little window in which they had an audience. All that smoky, musty kitsch has actually aged pretty well for me. This tune in particular feels like swimming through an underwater dream waiting for my next Manhattan to be delivered via mermaid.
