• 4 stars all music guide

The classic - and only - album release from the man who wrote the massive selling Nature Boy as made famous by Nat 'King' Cole and covered by everyone from Sinatra and Esquivel to Nick Cave.

A masterpiece of easy listening that has inspired chill-out compilations around the globe, not to mention a better way of looking at the world, Eden's Island is pure exotica on one dozen beautifully-crafted songs. Plus the A-side of his only single release, Tobago and the only recording of his Nature Boy suite along with nine other Ahbez-penned slices of exotica.
