Composed for a film that ultimately went unreleased, Sacred Idol conjures a Latin American fantasia inspired by the legends of Aztec culture and spirituality. While not as otherworldly as some of Les Baxter's subsequent exotica classics, the album's dreamlike fusion of swirling orchestrations and native textures boasts the cinematic vibrancy specific to all of the composer's finest work. As is also typical of Baxter's most memorable efforts, the song titles say virtually everything that needs to be said: "Gardens of the Moon," "Temple of Gold" and "Pyramids of the Sun" are every bit as evocative and mysterious as advertised, so whatever the destination, real or imagined, Baxter's albums are above all a journey to the center of the mind.
