Our Take

Floating somewhere between the whimsical realms of a tropical rainforest and a psychedelic wonderland, Eden Ahbez's "Eden's Island" is a true auditory journey like no other. This reissue, housed in a luxurious wood box with clear forest/leaves splatter vinyl, is a must-have for any collector looking to elevate their listening experience to new heights.

The album opens with the enchanting title track, setting the scene for an otherworldly adventure that is equal parts soothing and hypnotic. Ahbez's ethereal vocals dance effortlessly over lush instrumentation, creating a sense of serenity that is both comforting and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Tradewind" and "Myna Bird" evoke visions of palm trees swaying in the breeze and crystal-clear waters lapping at the shore. The use of exotic percussion and dreamy harp melodies transport the listener to a place of pure bliss, where time seems to stand still.

The inclusion of a T-shirt, slip mat, and poster in this deluxe package only adds to the overall experience, making it a perfect addition to any music lover's collection. So kick back, relax, and let Eden Ahbez take you on a musical journey unlike any other. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Eden Ahbez

EDEN AHBEZ In the annals of music history, there are enigmatic figures who defy categorization and challenge the status quo. EDEN AHBEZ is one such individual – a mystic, a nature-lover, and a musical visionary all rolled into one. Born in 1908 in Brooklyn, New York, AHBEZ led a life as unconventional as his music. Forsaking the conventional trappings of society, AHBEZ embraced a simple, bohemian lifestyle, journeying across America and immersing himself in nature. This deep connection to the earth and its rhythms would come to define his music, imbuing it with a sense of transcendence and otherworldliness. AHBEZ's magnum opus, the seminal 1948 hit "Nature Boy," remains his most enduring legacy, a haunting ballad that speaks to the universal longing for connection and meaning. With its ethereal melodies and poetic lyrics, the song captured the imaginations of listeners around the world, cementing AHBEZ's place in music history. Despite his brief moment in the spotlight, AHBEZ's influence reverberates to this day, with artists as diverse as Nat King Cole, David Bowie, and Lana Del Rey citing him as a source of inspiration. His music is a testament to the power of simplicity, reminding us that sometimes the most profound truths can be found in the natural world around us. In a world of noise and chaos, EDEN AHBEZ's music offers a rare moment of respite – a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and listen to the song of the earth. And for that, we are eternally grateful.
