The exoticsounds and interpretations present throughout these two albums were created bythe celebrated Warren Barker, one of the most prolific Hollywood arranger andconductors. The first, “Music of Desire,” is Barker’s thrilling approach torecording the strings in his orchestra. To his new string sound, he added thewarmth of wood- winds, the power of horns, and, most important, the compellingrhythms created by his seven-man percussion section. These are sen- suous Latinrhythms tempered by the tenderness of Barker’s caress.

For “FarAway Places” actor William Holden contacted Barker and producer Bill Stewart toput together an album that would musically portray Eastern lands, from Japan tothe Philippines, India to Bali. As for the instrumentation, in addition to afull string section, woodwinds, rhythm, and harp, you’ll hear there’s quite avariety. In all, it is an exciting and exotic trip with Oriental and Latin (byway of the Philippines) musical flavor, treated with a velvet touch.
