Does anyone on ILX actually like Esquivel? It doesn't seem so.

Merry Christmas From The Space-Age Bachelor Pad is pretty great, but it's the only thing I've heard by him. What else is worth getting?

I prefer Esquerita

Everyone should, but many don't. I'm just a fan of early stereo weirdness in general, and Esquivel (at his best) was ultra-weird.

It's actually listening to the Morricone Crime And Dissonance thing that made me crave some Esquivel. Less screeching, maybe.

I have "Other Worlds Other Sounds" and it's good.

I have an Esquivel album that I like, but I haven't listened to it in years.

I liked him for a little while - but really only long enough for me to figure out where all those obscure Tape-beatles samples were sourced from...

I really like him a lot and listen to him pretty often. There's no-one else around who does what he does. Not even close.

eighteen years pass...

“Other worlds, other sounds” is kind of fantastic in the right mood. The world has died so much since then, this sounds like from another dimension.

Also you need to listen to it in a good stereo to really get it.
