i had this vague recollection of every single indie label having an esquivel reissue in their catalog back then. like all of the masters were divided up one night in a dive bar in the east village.

Esquivel is El Maestro of space age bachelor pad music
― Lingbert, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:12 (seventeen years ago)
Esquivel's off-the-wall musical antics are the modern day postmodern and are sure to add a tangible sense of coolness to any gatherings at your space age bachelor pad

Read this as "Esquerita not cool reference since 97" and was all WTF.
I like that YouTube, I would listen to more of this Esquivel.

Esquivel was, is and always will be cool.
He is so cool that he is not cool. He is so cool that he lives in Outerspace in a freezer. He is so cool that he is hot.
As I wipe the smear of marmite from my lips and wander the halls of Coolness land, I know this to be self evident and that is the truth of the matter and in fact the final word, forever and ever and ever again.
He is Cool. Cool, Cool, Cool.
COOL.

probably known here, but esquivel worked closely with the randy van horne singers, who sang so many classic 60s hannah-barabera theme songs
― (temporary) ilxor (goon) (PappaWheelie V), Saturday, 6 December 2008 22:12 (seventeen years ago)
fuck a "reference"-- esquivel is a classic

same goes for burt bacharach as well. ah, the 90s.
― Eisbär (Eisbaer), Monday, 8 December 2008 03:33 (seventeen years ago)
since the xmas playlist is on, which contains a lot of esquivel, i'll try to answer this in earnest now.
i genuinely like mid-century orchestral pop, despite recontextualization and repackaging. but since esquivel is quirky, the SAP 90s revival bunch proclaim him king, which often implies irony as the driving factor. to me, he's good -- often great -- but all that "oink oink" remains annoying.
i've always liked the three suns more, and to a degree, some of the more straight ahead (non exotica) les baxter stuff more than esquivel.
liking this stuff wasn't all "hey, look, i gots tiki mugs!", so fuck a trend.
