	Eden Ahbez (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		eden ahbez, born Alexander Aberle, (April 15, 1908 - March 4, 1995) was one of the few genuinely unique characters of pre-rock American popular music.
		His most comprehensive statement as a recording artist, however, was the 1960 LP Eden's Island, a bizarre record which mixed exotica album and beatnik poetry.
		Ahbez was also photographed with Brian Wilson in the studio in 1966, lending further credence to the theory that the head Beach Boy was influenced by exotica during the Pet Sounds and Smile sessions.

		Ahbez's big success was getting Nat King Cole to record "Nature Boy," after diligently pestering some of Cole's associates at the Million Dollar Theater in Los Angeles, where Cole was performing.
		Some of the luster was taken off that triumph when a publishing company claimed that Ahbez had taken some of the lyrics from "Nature Boy" from one of their copyrights, the Yiddish song "Schweig Mein Hertz" (the parties reached an out-of-court settlement).
		Ahbez was photographed with Brian Wilson in the studio in 1966, lending further credence to the theory that the head Beach Boy was influenced by exotica during the Pet Sounds and Smile sessions.

	Eden Ahbez
		Ahbez was a legend in Hollywood for his unusual life style.
		Although Ahbez (or "ahbez," as he insisted in being called, holding that capital letters should be reserved for the divine) later had another tune, "Land of Love," recorded by Cole, he faded back onto the street corners until 1960, when Del-Fi Records boss Bob Keane brought him into the studio to record Eden's Island.
		Ahbez popped up in a few different places during the 1960s, most prominently with Brian Wilson somewhere in the days before the legendary Pet Sounds and Smile albums were recorded.

		Eden's Island is recognized as thee holy grail LP by collectors of Exotica.
		Ahbez was the composer of Nat "King" Cole's first crossover hit, "Nature Boy." Bob Keane recognized something strange and enchanting about Ahbez's songs and recorded the album Eden's Island in 1959.
		Ahbez chants his song poems and plays his wooden flute over Moer’s exotic orchestrations while producer Bob Keane sprinkles in sound effects and a chorus of "island girls." Legendary album that lives up to all the hype and is a true masterpiece of Exotica and Incredibly Strange Music.

		Ahbez essentially lived on the royalties from that song for the rest of his life; he was killed in the mid-90s by a car: what a fate for a Nature Boy!
		Ahbez was a sort of proto-hippie; long-haired, bearded, often seen wearing flowing white robes.
		In the pictures I’ve seen, Eden Ahbez’s bamboo flutes appear to be very crude; they’re on the small side, and quite fat for their length.

		Eden's Island should be fully considered as part of the "exotica" genre that then-contemporary artists such as Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Esquivel had defined through popular recordings by that time, but there's an air of authenticity to Ahbez's efforts that still transcend the form some 35 years after the fact.
		Ahbez described himself in his Last Will and Testament as "a man possessed of the universal and cosmic vision of the Miracle of Nature." Ahbez was indeed a man "possessed," one who was truly New Age (in its most positive connotations) long before it was fashionable.
		Eden's Island still retains the power to transport the listener to Ahbez's private world, making Paradise Lost found once again.] >Oh, btw, Brad, while I'm already asking you: I got the >impression from a Japanese listee on PSML that the 'new' >Pet Sounds CD-reissue has been remastered once again: i.e.

		After Nat King Cole scored big with Ahbez’s song 'Nature Boy', Capitol had to track him down just to pay the songwriting royalties, the rights to which he then ended up giving away.
		Indeed, Ahbez was one of the world’s first true hippies, living on a commune in 1959, from which he emerged to record this album—a bona fide cult classic—with Stan Kenton alumnus Paul Moer.
		Ahbez chants his song poems and plays his wooden flute over Moer’s exotic orchestrations while producer Bob Keane sprinkles in sound effects and a chorus of "island girls."

		Eden Ahbez was best known for writing "Nature Boy" - a big hit for Nat "King" Cole.
		This album, however, should be viewed as an instrumental album (a Martin Denny style cross between islandesque and jazz music - featuring jazz great Paul Moer!) with a sort of beat poetry accompanying it.
		(Bob Keane of Del-Fi Records described Ahbez's lyrics as a cross between Kahil Gibran and Rod McKuen.) In any event, the lyrics and the music work together to create a very ethereal sound that is absolutely haunting - in a positive way!
