Eden's Island (1960) is a musical album by eden ahbez for Del-Fi Records. It is his only recorded solo LP.
In 1959, he began recording instrumental music, which combined his signature somber tones with exotic arrangements and (according to the record sleeve) "primitive rhythms". He often performed bongo, flute, and poetry gigs at beat coffeehouses in the Los Angeles area.
This mixed beatnik poetry with exotica arrangements. Ahbez promoted the album through a coast-to-coast walking tour making personal appearances, but it sold poorly.
It included the songs "Full Moon" and "Island Girl".
