Lounge-jazz with exotic instruments recorded in a Hawaiian ecological sanctuary, you say? Well, that ought to be tasty. This record is unlike anything I've heard before, thanks to it's unique recording process - according to the liner notes it was recorded in a large eco-dome, which gives it some incredible natural delays, and the recordings are infused with actual wildlife sounds as exotic birds occasionally pipe up. Musically, it would be pretty straightforward lounge-jazz, but the 3-second reverbs drenxch everything in a kind of ethereal glow, and the use of unusual Polynesian instruments give it a character that's unlike anything else.
