There are islands that you sail to, around, or near almost every time you race, or cruise to a destination.  They just happen to be near the route to someplace and make an excellent anchorage.  Island of Mystery is such a place.  When at anchor or sailing close by, strange goings-on and different styles of music can be seen and heard.  Different types of people appear on the island at these various times, and signs are posted on the island that warn you away with various penalties promised.  The island and its reef are so beautiful that anchoring close by is a great temptation.  On occasions such as these, the compelling and mysterious music coming from the island’s interior and the obvious moonlight rendezvous make imaginations soar and curiosities peak.

This moody and mysterious music is reflected in the songs, "Mysterious Moonlight Rendezvous," "Slow Reggae," "Meditation Bossa Nova," "Mysterious Island Tango," "Puff Visits the Mysterious Island," "Island Beguine," "One Note Samba," and "Mystery Melody Floating in the Night Air."  "Beachcombing and Dreaming of You" is a song about a person suffering from too much partying and trying to get his soul back by beachcombing for shells and other memorabilia.  And, when the mind starts to clear, memories of someone in the past brings back good thoughts and, occasionally, more pain.  “Tropical Thunderstorms” is a song that reflects the battling of nature’s Yin and Yang forces that brings balance back.  If one doesn’t understand nature and its constant changing and evolving, fright and anxiety result.  However, if you do understand, then rhythm and beauty prevails which stimulates wonder and creativity.
