Not always. > At his best, he rules. > But those six or eight great records are only the tip of the iceberg. > Below the surface of the water there's a whole heap of mediocrity. Allow me to add late my own observation on Hyman's substrata. For he has yet darker depths. I'm talking about this inverse pinnacle of complete preposterousness that lurks in my collection: "Sullivan, Shakespeare, Hyman" released in 1967 by Monmouth-Evergreen records. This, this I found here in Sarasota, Florida, at the 17th Street Salvation Army, where one can find many dusty marvels. Maxine Sullivan sings the songs of William Shakespeare arranged and accompanied by Dick Hyman. I think I was attracted by the improbability of it. The cover art shows the three principals in diminishing silhouette over a field of faded-day-glo pink(?). First a big, purple Bard, bushy headed and broad shouldered. Next Maxine, smoothly orange. Then, as the plinth of this column of coolness out-of-order, Dick Hyman, in the color of a pale turd. Hyman can't be blamed for introducing the songs of Shakespeare's comedies to dumb jazz. According to the album notes, he was "first urged" to do so while he was musical director of the Arthur Godfrey television and radio shows. What he should be held accountable for is his dedication to this "artful, swinging" and unseemly marriage. Hyman skimps out on the poetry of the music when you want him at least to dally with the material. And he fills an album with this. Really, I'd even question whether or not this is swinging. Hyman himself plays piano and, Ah-hah!, harrpsichorrd! But even the should-be plucky pizzications of guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli are rattled off dully. The music is somehow just what you'd expect; at best easily ignored. The same is to be said about Sullivan's vocalizations, though with one further question raised. What is she trying to do? No doubt regain her 30 year old title in what the notes claim to be her preeminence "in the art of endowing ancient music with a lilting, syncopated beat." The only collaborator whose career isn't poxed by the record probably saw none of the royalties. But as Shakespeare did say, and Sullivan did sing: Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever, One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never And so it is with Dick Hyman. Suck and soar. He played in Sarasota last year with Johnny Varro and, headliner, Jerry Jerome, whose "Something Old, Something New" double CD is worth half a listen. My employer sponsored the free show. I regret I stayed away, as I feared it would be just as much mediocrity. I was only really acquainted with the Hyman music from Woody Allen soundtracks at that point. Not too soon afterward I found among the CDs at my work the Varese Sarabande reissue of "Moog: the electric eclectics of Dick Hyman". What perfect music, and originally released only two years after the Shakespeare album. This is the bright half of Hyman's experimentalism. I don't know how Hyman might feel about the recording today, nor if he really remembers (dig, 'Legend of Johnny Pot'). I think it's an honest attempt to expand the boundaries of popular music and to broaden its repertoire. The same might be said, of course, for the Shakespeare record.

"DeSade" was an AIP drive-in flick starring a pre-2001:A Space Oddysey Keir Dullea, with Senta Berger and John Huston. The screenplay was by Richard Matheson, who scripted a number of classic Twilight Zone episodes. There was a 'legit' stage play and film about the Marquis DeSade in the mid-60's, so this film was quick cash in. I remember the film playing at my local drive-in, but was a bit too young to see it. The soundtrack has some great whipping sound fx on it; the greatest cut is called "Bacchanalia".

A Cuban/Latin/jazz/R&B blend, with a nice "live band in a room" feeling (recorded in Hoboken, NJ). The core band is Ribot on guitar, Brad Jones on bass, EJ Rodriguez and Robert J. Rodriguez on percussion. Most tracks also feature interesting organ coloring by (either) John Medeski or Anthony Coleman. It's mainly instrumental, with vocals on two tracks. It occasionally strays into guitar noodling territory, but on the whole I find it pretty tasty. I think it fits nicely into the grand old vinyl tradition of Latin/Anglo blending -- even if it is a "High Definition Compatible Digital" cee-dee. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Larson/Thomas Subject: Re: (exotica) Jane Fondle's greatest hits Date: 01 Jan 1999 13:17:18 -0800 <> "Bloomdido" by Charlie Parker.

Unfortunately they didn't announce who performed it. It almost had to be Isaac Hayes, but conceivably could have been Teddy Pendergrass or someone else of that ilk. It was very slow and had some fuzz guitar breaks that would not have sounded out of place on a Portishead album (probably was sampled by Portishead...). I must have this in my collection. Anyone know for sure if it's Isaac and what album to look for if so? First LP played in 1999: The Versatile Sounds of Henry Mancini.

These references almost certainly refer to Jim Economides, who was a record producer at Capitol Records in the period around 1963. He produced for (at least) The Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Dick Dale, Johnny Burnette and The Lettermen. He then went on to produce a couple of early Marc Bolan singles in 1964/5.

Sounds like the Hayes version to me. It's contained on "Hot Buttered Soul" or "The Best of Isaac Hayes Volume 1". I don't believe Portishead sampled this particular Hayes track, but Hooverphonic certainly did on the song "2 Wicky" (A Stereophonic Sound Spectacular) & Mono on "Silicone" (Formica Blues).

"The Cuban-based combo gives the well-known Christmas-songs a whole new flair" says the booklet, and believe it or not: it's true! The selection is heavily influenced by the Phil Spector Christmas album, and consequently I had "Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer", who comes as "Rodolfo el Reno de la Nar=EDz", in my ears for entire 3 days. "Frosty The Snowman" is "El Muneco de N=EDeve", but my clear favorite is a version of "Leise rieselt der Schnee"-"La N=EDeve cae on S=EDlenc=EDo", truly beauti= ful! The music is basic Latin, nothing too avantgardistic, but has a very nice, clear, up-to-date acoustic sound.

I had forgotten that this question was asked but there was deliberate perversity involved in my decision to spend my New Year's Eve cleaning my floors and making a Rod McKuen tape. The first side of the tape is Rod "singing". The second side comes from those spoken-word-with-music "Sea", "Earth" etc records he made with Anita Kerr, which by the way are great records - even veering into exotica - if you've always passed them up. After midnight, I was finished the singing side and started the spoken word side. And the first cut is "The Storm" from "The Sea". The words were perfect for the beginning of a new year. They would have been even more perfect if I wasn't alone but I just projected. "How can we be sure of anything?

No, this isn't some dorky snowman animation. It is with the very greatest pride that I unveil. . . The "Dilo" Collection! Banish all wintery thoughts, with these digitized sounds for your computer--in which the inimitable Perez Prado bursts out with the neck-snapping "Ugh!" shouts which so often punctuated his music. The Dilo Collection includes not only the classic "Ugh!" but also, for your listening pleasure, "Agh!"--and, for a limited time only, "Aargh!" I have these in both Macintosh System and Microsoft WAV formats, suitable for use as your computer's alert beep. These are downsampled to 8 bits to keep the files small (12-17K)--so I hope you'll forgive a bit of hiss. (I also hope I guessed the right sample rate for you Windowsers--anyone know if 22,050 is OK?)

I have friends who contribute to various Bear Family sets and when I hear about the "projects" - like this Canadian rockabilly compilation that's in the works - I always think "Cool". But usually when I see or occasionally buy a Bear Family release, my reaction is different. They're very thorough. And for me that's a good news/bad news situation. I know that for some collectors there's no such thing as "overkill" but there is for me. They say "Here's everything this artist ever did" and I think "Couldn't you at least have broken it up a bit more? Released it in single volumes?" Examples? Well five Ann Margaret CD's could be an example of overkill for me. But I'm thinking of another example. Problem is I can't remember if it actually came out on Bear Family. In fact I think it came out on "Razor and Tie", a label I have a similar problem with. The CD in question was a double Les Paul compilation. It went from early Les Paul in a sort of country/bluegrass context, through his whole career including backing up singers such as Bing Crosby etc. It was very interesting to hear the range of things he did. And some of the Bing Crosby cuts for instance were real revelations, at least as far as Bing went. But as far as just slapping the discs on and settling back, the thing didn't really work for me. Which might just be a problem I have with most boxed sets. I think I'd even say the same thing for "100% Cotton" which I finally broke down and bought. I guess I'm just not that kind of collector. So I'm not criticizing Bear Family and I'm glad they exist but I guess I'd rather have a friend of mine buy the Ann Margaret set and then make me one cool compilation tape. And I guess that's the very reason the lousy so-and-so's in the government up here just slapped a huge new tax on all blank recording tapes and CDR's. No one knows the amount of the tax yet but it could be as much as a buck a tape and probably the same for CDR's. Those lousy musician lobby groups! I make myself a tape from a bunch of records I found in a garbage heap somewhere and I have to pay a buck to Celine Dion!! Aaarrgh!

They might *say* they're doing it to protect their dear artists, but yeah, sure. As I've been saying (in my best Chicken Little voice), their lucrative, pipeline-controlling middleman role is threatened by the new technologies and they're currently on a tear with lobbying and litigation to maintain their power. They've already bought a law which gives the RIAA a skim from net radio. And besides trying to restrict new technology, they're lobbying to get personal use taping outlawed and eliminate the "fair use" principle. Um, I can't seem to find the pertinent news link now -- but hey, you know everything you read on the net is true, right? ;o) The latest trend seems to be artists posting their own MP3s to the web, followed by the record company shaking legal papers and demanding their removal (Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Billy Idol). It's a regular love-fest. Are there any legal-minded folks on here who might explain exactly what "fair use" is?

What's that? Did someone mention this before? I first saw it mentioned in one of Chuck's postings a few months back. It's available by mail order from Other Music in New York, and as I was placing an order with them anyways... It's a New York group (or person - there aren't any credits on the CD), and pretty much looks like it was put together in someone's basement. The CD is actually one of those blue recordable numbers (which doesn't play well on my CD player), and the CD liner appears to be a colour xerox. That said, it's samples galore, and a lot of fun to listen to. It was very reasonable (about $12 US) and highly recommended!

"Emotions" and "Extensions" are both arranged and conducted by Tartaglia. Both have the same sound as his own "Good Morning Starshine" and "Tartaglian Theorem". Paul Beaver on moog, real-life sound effects (Brad Miller) and interesting instruments such as novachord, harpsichord, harp and calliope. The Mystic Moods Singers of course and the rest of the orchestra. I have always shyed away from Mystic Moods albums, assuming they were true easy listening. Not so with these two. These are complex, challenging recordings and a long, long way from elevator music. I'd recommend picking up those Living Jazz, Living Brass and Living Guitar records, too.

Dick Hyman's Eclectic Electrics. What can I say, it's an exotica-list standard. Moog, moog and more moog. This one has just been bootlegged in London and whoever has done it has added extra tracks, ruined the cover art and produced a record that costs more than the original cost me. 2. Enoch Light's Spaced Out. Bond Street's cool, the rest complements it nicely, top cover to boot. What's with all that left and right stereo channelling crap? 3. Nico Gomez and his African Percussion - Ritual. This is a reissue and it's superb. Mandingo meets the aforementioned Incredible Bongo Band. Pounding african drums - Excellent. And I had a phone call on Saturday from Kevin the record collector saying he's just come across 1000 KPM library records.

A lineup of three lead guitarists is quite unusual (I only remember Lynyrd Skynyrd, apart from the John McLaughlin, Al Dimeola, Paco Pena trio and various other combinations, but they played acoustic instruments and without a rhythm section), certainly when they display a mastery and congeniality like those three. After a short intermezzo (forgot the title) they closed with Orange Blossom Special, the longest (20 minutes), the fastest (the poor drummer, I assumed, until I saw a close up of him smiling from ear to ear with no apparent signs of strain or distress) and the most virtuoso (sat in awe over the variety and subtlety of play, for instance, the Italian type, what's-his-name, had a ring on the phalanx of his index finger which enabled him to throw in all sorts of short slide effects, and I wonder how much further can one bend a string than the Scandinavian type, what's-his-name, did), I've ever heard. There had to be an encore, ofcourse, and they announced it, I thought, as F****** Fish, which later appeared to be A bucketful of Fish in the subtitles. Neither way I'm going to comment on that.

The club, which gained a degree of notoriety when River Phoenix died outside of it in 1993, has been closed for renovations since mid-November. The reopening will be a benefit show featuring an acoustic performance by Courtney Love. Proceeds will go to the nonprofit yoga-teaching organization Center for Living. * In other news of celebrity charity, "Hollywood Goes Wild," an album with songs by all-star actors, will benefit the Wildlife Waystation, a sanctuary for wild and exotic animals in California. Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Kim Basinger, Billy Bob Thornton, Keanu Reeves and Juliette Lewis can be heard on the album, which the Boston Globe says will come out early this year. The executive producer, Ron Lovely, says he got the idea for the album after meeting Pitt at a birthday party for legendary musician Les Paul last year.

I would feel better about this if the copied work was something intractibly unreleasable due to some petty niggling among lawyer types... That would make this something of a "liberation." Though I will not admit to anything more noble than a lazy-man's re-reissue. I've been seeing a lot of neat two-fer cd bootlegs.. I might consider doing that.. Makes good use of the CD medium and can be priced fairly even if only one title on the disk appeals to the buyer. Want to keep the cost at about $15.00 including shipping TOPS, but will keep the price MUCH lower if I can. The main cost is the printing, and I won't skimp on liners and cover art.

Imagine Liquid Liquid sampling Perez Prado, among others.

They were definetely french, and had commercial success also in Italy, where they were quite famous in the late seventies disco craze era. 3 ladies, the long blonde haired one fronting the trio had some previous fame in the sixties, both in France and in Italy, as she recorded under the name "Evy" some singles. Her best track was "L'abito non fa il beatnik", an uptempo r&b italian version of Spencer Davis Group's "Keep On Runnin'", sung with a potent and raw voice style a la Lulu.

What's the cost of the equipment etc.? Basically, what you need is a PC with a sound card that can record and a CD-R deck. Most CD-R decks come bundled with software. My CD-R deck came with Toast (for the Mac). It even comes with software for extracting audio tracks from CD's. Use the sound card to record the vinyl, put it in the format that the mastering software wants and burn the CD (greatly simplified). I'm still learning this stuff myself. The difference over the cost of the PC (or Mac) is less than $400.

However, lasers apparently diminish in performance after time, and have more difficulty reading discs, which leads to skipping, or not reading entire discs at all. Depending on how much your machine is worth, you can either buy a new player, or pay to have the laser checked and/or replaced (usually way too expensive to consider, unless you have a machine worth upwards of $1000, and want to keep it). Skipping was the first sign that my laser was going - and it got really irritating!!! cheryl # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tom Karches Subject: Re: (exotica) I'm gonna DO it! -Reply Date: 05 Jan 1999 13:18:00 -0500 SLarry3595@aol.com wrote: > > Making CDs at home; > You can always buy one of the Philips home CD makers.

As mentioned before, a disadvantage of the home CD makers is that they only work with the special serialized media. You can get the regular cd-r media that work with the computer cd-r drives much cheaper. I just bought 2 ten packs of sony cd-r media for $40 and got a $40 rebate. You do the math.

Of the featured instrument, the Hohner Cembalet, the jacket notes say it "… is the most revolutionary electromechanical keyboard instrument of our time." It "… can duplicate the sounds of guitars, bass, harp, zither, harpsichord and other stringed instruments…". I bought the reissue of Electric Lucifer from that playlist guy and have enjoyed it much. I can't wait to get this home and onto the hi-fi. Track list is: Side 1: Introduction; Shadows; Popcorn; Coco Bouzouki; Pots and Pans; Little Pigs. Side 2: Clocks; A Little Concert; More Machines; The Hamburger Song; The Stubborn Bird. 2. Joe Longthorne, Roxon Records, Ltd, 1982. The bouquet of this cheese was so strong I could not resist. "Joe", featured on the cover with a big blond feathered & blowdried butt-cutt 'do, a silk shirt unbuttoned to the unspeakables, collar raised, gold chains, aspect festooned with a last-call smile… you get the picture, offers "vocal impressions of the world's great artists, from Frank Sinatra to David Bowie, and Barry Manilow to Johnny Mathis … and not being one to forget the Ladies, we have the added bonus of hearing … Miss Shirley Bassey, Miss Cleo Laine, and many, many more, delivered with a panache that only Joe can achieve. … His touching tributes to Elvis Presley and John Lennon leave us almost weeping and wondering at the enormous range of his talent."

(CDR recording) Date: 05 Jan 1999 10:59:34 -0800 > > And yes you can copy CDR to CDR, I use a variety of methods... My favorite "Quick n dirty" method is to make a Minidisk master and trim up the tracks using the nifty edit function and then port it digitally to the The Marantz MD recorder. I use the version that records on the "data" type CDR's. The Consumer CD-R Decks can be fooled into using the cheaper disks, just put in one of the expensive disks and put the machine into record mode. Pull the tray out with your fingers NOT the eject button, and replace the "Music" cd with the "data" CD. There is NO difference between the two, except the expensive one has some I.D. Code on it to tell the machine that it is a music cd (read TAXED cd) For things like the Christmas compilation, I record each track to Hard drive and burn them on a CD-R drive after cleaning and ducking the audio for each track. If I am recording an entire vinyl disk to digital, I record it as a whole, letting it track through the entire side, and then divide the tracks at the beginning of each song, thereby preserving the pacing of the original vinyl record and the sound of the needle tracking through. CD-RW's have been problematic for me... They don't work in a lot of cd players, and I don't see much use for 'em when the Minidisk is such a robust editing format AND rewriteable.

Date: 05 Jan 1999 13:42:37 -0800 (PST) Remember The Boys from Brazil? This guy looks like a beefed-up Heino. A Night with One Man and 100 Stars Sensational singer and impressionist Joe Longthorne will be taking Northampton by storm when he plays live atDerngate on Thursday 4 December. With his outstanding voice and unique talent for impersonation Joe is one of the UK's most dynamic entertainers, regularly winning standing ovations from his legions of fans who follow him up and down the country. For one night only audiences will be able to enjoy all their favourites under one roof from Julio Inglesias to Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey. With the support of a superb orchestra Joe does them all, bringing a hundred famous voices to one stage. Each concert that Joe does is different as he bases his impersonations from requests in the audience, his infamous impersonation of Shirley Bassey, entwining hands and all, has become a favourite amongst audiences and the star herself has said 'Joe does me better than I do myself' Joe had his first big break as a singer-impressionist when he appeared on the London Weekend series of Search for a Star in 1981. His success on the show led to appearances at The London Palladium and the following year he received the Variety Club of Great Britain's coveted award for the Most Promising Artist of the Year. Today, following numerous TV appearances and world-wide tours he is recognised as one of the most dynamic entertainers in British show business. Speaking about his forthcoming tour Joe Longthorne said: 'I can't wait to get back on the road. I love the thrill of live performances and get such a high from the audience reaction. When I look out and see them all on their feet shouting for more I can't think of anywhere in the world I would rather be. It is a fantastic feeling and one that I wouldn't swap for anything. I have had a great season over the summer in Blackpool and am looking forward to a brilliant tour. The future really does look good!'

The issue for me is that liner notes and cover art are expensive, and if i stick to one-off CDs burned and mixed "custom" or nearly so, the cost to the purchaser can be $10 for a full hour of listening, making incredible and rare music more widely available. I love the covers and they are part of what makes the original recordings valuable and part of the 'vinyl experience', but being able listen to the records or selected cuts is still primary for me.

Lou? Iron Eyes Cody. But enuf about him - let me tell you about my office. My office is one floor below the offices of Tommy Boy Records. Sometime over the weekend one of the water sprinkler pipes in their office froze and burst. When I got to my office yesterday, my ceiling was 4 feet lower than expected - actually it was resting on my PC. The floor seemed a bit higher as well, what with all the water and floating things. Most objects in my room went beyond "damp to the touch." Including my PC. Today, the insurance men took away my PC. Supposedly it's gone to some wizard types who will extract the contents of my C drive before the thing shorts itself out once electricity is passed through its bloated and briney guts. I've managed to install a mail reader on a dinky 33MHz PC I've got at home. I don't have enuf speed, power or space for a news reader or browser. SO, until my old machine is returned, no obits from me.

And speaking of, can anyone offer a few words >regarding PR's Music from Outer Space? I found this LP a couple of months ago. I'd have to say I wasn't all too excited upon listening to it. I had great expectations, what with the goofy space helmeted Rugolo and cool graphics on the cover. There's not a lick of any kind of "outer space" flavor, not even a hint of theremin or similar "space" sounds. At least the Richard Diamond LP has the private eye/crime jazz thing going for it. Rugolo is a great jazz band arranger, and he doesn't slouch on Outer Space but ther is really nothing *exotica* about this album. Basically it's very straight, tightly arranged, slightly cool jazz music.

Doris started to sing 1962 in a band called Spaceman. She also sang in a Swedish band called Strangers. Then Doris played a lot of Georgie Fame and Ray Charles records and became basist and singer in Plums that recorded many nice singles for EMI. Plums' music is a hybrid of pop, blues and jazz. You can hear that Doris also liked early Dusty Springfield records. After her twentysecond birthday Doris was dating Berndt Egerbladh (the Quincy Jones of Norrland, Sweden). A few months later they recorded the groovy record: "Did you give the world some love today Baby", which marks the highlight in Doris' career. The drummer on the record, Janne "Loffe" Carlsson was also drummer in his own duo Hansson & Carlsson (available on CD). He is today a well known actor and TV-profile (but be happy if your'e not able to watch his TV program "Laat kameran gaa") in Sweden. Cheers, Hans Adell P.S.

Its a cartoon painting of Bugs, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat and Daffy Duck at a tiki bar surrounded by animated tikis and they are wearing Hawaiian shirts and Fez hats and holding drinks. The back of the painting says the following: "The enchantment of a South Seas paradise is discovered by a brotherhood of Looney Tunes and brought to life in this limited edition lithograph by celebrated Warner Bros. Animation artists Alan Bodner and Harryt Sabin. Bugs raises a carrot juice cocktail in a toast to the spirit of the post WWII years, when many an American serviceman longed to recreate exotic island imagery in their peace time lives..... Loon-A-Tiki is a very special limited edition print featuring a lush combination of fine art lithography augmented with serigraphy. Reporduced on archival quality paper stock, whereby special attention was paiud to capturing the vibrant colors from the artists' original painting. Produced in a limited edition of only 350 peices; all print plates and print screens were destroyed upon completion of the edition. In the final step of production, each print is hand-signed by both artists." I have #302 of 350 made. My sister just happened into Warner Bros. store and saw it and they were in the process of recalling all remaining prints to the archives. The one I got came from the Sacramento area. Just curious if anyone else purchased one (makes you wonder who bought the first 300 of them, since I don't recall anyone posting to the list about it.) - Michele # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "naile" Subject: (exotica) restaurants/bars/clubs Date: 05 Jan 1999 23:40:39 -0500 Seeking recommendations for "atmospheric" (okay exotica/lounge-type) restaurants/bars/clubs in the Atlanta and Chicago areas.

On the CD packaging tip: The next generation of CD's that I compile (or whatever) will likely contain all the digital elements needed to create either CD or Cassette packaging... In other words, use the leftover space on the disk to archive several different formats of of labels, etc. to accompany recordings made from the disks I have distributed. This way, the distribution chain can be lengthened a link or two. I hope it can be made simple enough for just about anyone to make more copies and share em with friends.

To the best of my knowledge, Pete Rugolo is alive and well. He did the music for a film last year, "This World, Then the Fireworks". Haven't seen the film (got bad reviews) but the soundtrack's available on Varese Sarabande. It's vintage Rugolo. Recommended! A couple of years ago, one of our jazz announcers here at the radio station attended a tribute to Pete Rugolo at a jazz festival on the West Coast. Afterwards, he and some others got invited back to Pete's house to hang out. The way i heard it, when the evening ended hours later, Pete started handed out sealed copies of his old albums to the departing guests! Imagine! Sealed copies of "Jack the Ripper", "Thriller" and "Richard Diamond", perhaps? > anyone out there have PETE RUGOLO IN SPACE? Isn't that just > another record with a nice bubble helmet pic but no space music? Right. Just pretty straightforward Rugolo-esque jazz with a space age cover. The music on the album is from earlier Rugolo LPs, including "Music for Hi Fi Bugs". I think even the track "Stereo Space Man", which leads off the album is simply a re-titled tune from a previous album.

I've been obsessing over the new Pete Tombs book, *Mondo Macabro*. He's the British film geek who previously co-authored *Immoral Tales*, the definitive work on Euro-sleaze cinema. The new tome has what I regard as the best stuff yet on Hong Kong cinema (mainly 'cause he seems to agree with me about everything ), plus chapters on outr=E9 crap from Turkey, th= e Phillipines, Indonesia, and so on. I heartily recommend both titles for those who are into this kind of stuff. (You know who you are!) Anyway, my question: I watched *Lake of Dracula* the other night (a.k.a. *Bloodthirsty Eyes*), a Japanese vampire opus from '71. Utterly amazing score, of the same stripe as a lot of concurrent Italian horror stuff, but far weirder and cooler than most. Seems to me I saw an import CD of this soundtrack somewhere, but my online searches can only uncover Lake of Dracula, a goth/metal band who are clearly inspired by the right sources, but who unfortunately aren't much to listen to. Can anyone help? Or suggest a good source in general for Japanese import stuff? Or just type something diverting about Asian cult film music?

BTW, anyone out there have >PETE RUGGOLO IN SPACE? Isn't that just another record with a nice bubble >helmet pic but no space music? I have four Pete Rugolo records besides "Richard Diamond". "New Sounds", "Reeds in Hi Fi", "Ten Trumpets and two Guitars" and "Ten Saxophones and two Basses". On the other hand, I have three Kenyon Hopkins records besides "Mr. Buddwing". Based on this unscientific survey, I conclude that one should get much more excited about seeing a Kenyon Hopkins record than seeing a Pete Rugolo record unless you know that on Pete's record, he was TRYING for a certain sound that you love. I keep the four "other" Rugolo records because they have good sound and neat packaging and they represent a genre that I like to have a few examples of. But with the possible exception of "Reeds in hi fi" none of them are something I would go out of my way to recommend. The first cut on "Reeds", a number called "Igor Beaver" starts out like crime jazz and has a bit of that feel. ALL his stuff has a bit of that feel. This is where crime jazz was created. These are the musicians and the studios and the time and the place. I don't DJ so the concept of a cut that I would "play out" doesn't really relate to me. But I think maybe I listen to records in a similar way. I'm looking for cuts that have a lot of things going for them and in overt - not subtle - ways. And maybe I'm overusing the term "crime jazz". But I look for stuff with swing and drama and overt arrangements and extreme dynamics, all in a jazz-based package. And all with a feel of guys being chased down dark alleys or cool cats and cool chicks doing cool things in cool cars. Pete Rugolo is capable of doing that but from the records I've heard, that doesn't seem to be what he's going for. On the other hand, I find that even when Kenyon Hopkins is doing a record about riding on trains or travelling through Italy, his stuff always pushes the envelope and brings in that cool cats/ dark alleys/ "smell of death" feel. Someone could probably do a more sophisticated musical treatise on the difference between "crime jazz" and the standard jazz-based arranging that it emerged from. All I'm saying is don't get too excited about Rugolo unless it's a soundtrack and you know that he was overtly going for that cool sound you love. But Kenyon... whoo hoo! He could have made Puff the Magic Dragon seem lethal.

Recommended! As reported here earlier in the year, it's not a great film but it might be worth seeing if you're a Jim Thompson fan and you want to see how his books translate to film, however unsuccessfully. It is certainly worth renting though for the soundtrack which is a classic "re-creation" of that late fifties crime-jazz thing. In keeping with another Rugolo post today, I wouldn't call it "vintage Rugolo" but I would call it "vintage Rugolo crime jazz".

Jerome started as a bandleader in high school, and went to work full-time with a cadre of his classmates after graduation. From the mid-1930s through the end of the 1940s, Jerome ran the band in some form continuously, working steamships, hotels, and circuits. In its various guises, the Jerome band was a "sweet" band, specializing in light ballads and moderate tempos. After breaking up the band, Jerome went into record producing, and ended up forming a new studio band to release a series of LPs for Decca under the moniker of "Brazen Brass." While Jerome was probably inspired by the success of Billy May's "Big Fat Brass" album and sound, he deserves credit at least for dumping the sweet sound for something bold, splashy, and, well, brazen. Jerome produced and conducted 5 Brazen Brass albums for Decca, as well as two more conventional sweet albums, until he left to become an A&R man for Coral in 1959. He released one more "brazen" style album in the early 1960s, for United Artists. I need to add a couple things to this. For one, Jerome formed a band with some classmates from Yale that played in NYC during the bebop era and that included now-chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, on saxophone. They played bebop, but Jerome switched to softer stuff when he realized the bucks just weren't there.

As far as who he was, there's no information on the back of the records but I just assume he was one more of the working arrangers or producers like Marty Gold or Sonny Lester or Henri Rene who I had also never heard of before I started buying this kind of record.

(He was one of Stan's main arrangers and writers for many years). I would highly recommend, to anyone on this list who has not heard it, the recent 2 CD set Stan Kenton - THe Innovations Orchestra. It is from the early 50's and has great compositions not only by Stan and Pete, but also by Neal Hefti, Shelly Manne, and Laurindo Almedia. THis is not crime jazz, but is some of the strangest big band jazz ever -- especially the tunes by Bob Graettinger. However, I would not recommend the new "This World, Then the Fireworks" Rugolo soundtrack. Certainly there are some great moments, but to my ear there is not a single track on this disc that is great all the way thru, and some of them are downright dull. I was very excited when this came out, and it was great to see Pete working again, but I think to many this CD might be a disappointment.

Date: 07 Jan 1999 07:10:16 -0800 Peter Risser asked "Who the heck is Willie Bobo?" Well... Willie Bobo was a fantastic Latin percussionist, who played with [among many others] Perez Prado, Tito Puente, Cal Tjader, Herbie Mann, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, Herbie Hancock, Wes Montgomery, and Mongo Santamaria. His combination of Latin and soul music was a major influence on Carlos Santana. There are currently three Willie Bobo CDs in print, all on the Verve label: TALKIN' VERVE - A "best-of" collection, and an excellent one at that. WB's version of "Grazin' in the Grass" is a Latin groove classic. Other faves from this collection: "Evil Ways," "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and "Fried Neckbones and Some Home Fries." I've bought this disc 5 or 6 times to give as gifts, and it's always a hit. Perfect music for knocking the winter chill out of the house. UNO, DOS, TRES/SPANISH GREASE - Two LPs (1965 & 1966) on one CD. Also very enjoyable, although for my money there are too many covers of early-60s pop hits ("It's Not Unusual," "Our Day Will Come," "Goin' Out Of My Head," "Hurt So Bad," etc.). JUICY - Twelve tunes cut in 1967, plus 4 alternate takes that didn't appear on the original LP. Of particular interest to readers of this list are Bobo's versions of "Music To Watch Girls By" and "Disadvantages" (the theme from the old Benson & Hedges cigarette commercials). The one to get after TALKIN' VERVE. ************************************** Some selections from UNO, DOS, TRES/SPANISH GREASE and JUICY are duplicated on TALKIN' VERVE, but I'm still glad to own all three.

And don't even ASK about Victor Silvester's version of "Two Little Boys". However, the World Ballroom Orchestra is arranged by Alan Moorhouse in a swinging manner (I suppose conforming to the category of the "now" sound, though I still haven't figured out what this is supposed to imply/cover or where the term comes from) and the two albums I have also have a couple of groovy originals. This is one of the few of this type worth picking up.

Now you lot over the Atlantic can see the sort of things in our record collections, and why there's so few of those huge score lists posted by us in the UK.

OK, there are at least two more in this improaba-babble genre. Firstly, there is a sung Shakespeare album by Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth. This is one of the most hideous THINGS in existence and I don't want to think about it anymore. DANGER, Will... Secondly, there is "Swingin' The Bard" on the Atco label. Half the tracks on this are groovy jazzy instrumentals indicative of Shakesperian something-or-other. The talents of David Lindup and Ken Jones are employed, among others. Unfortunately, these are interleaved with a more "medieval" approach to the whole business, viols and recorders and vocals and the whole bit. More peripherally, DAMN FINE ITEMS are: (1) the cool "Falstaff's Hat Dance" from Phil Moore's "An American In England", (2) the hideous Kenneth Connor album (!!!) featuring songs from the "two Elizabethan eras", Side A being smutty Elizabethan ballards with Liz I era instrumentation, Side B being Sixties songs about LURVE arranged with Liz I era instrumentation, and sides A&B together consituting a horrific morass of wavering ghastly off-pitch vocalese hell. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: m h jemmeson Subject: (exotica) Re: I'm gonna DO it!

More news as & when. Stay tooned. This is welcome news indeed! Kingsley's "First Moog Quartet" & "Music To Moog By" have never been reissued. I think both have pieces extracted on one or more of the compilations but the original Popcorn (as written & performed by Kingsley) has never appeared on CD that I've seen and its WAYYYY better (IMHO) than the more known "Hot Butter" version.

Don't do Dick Hyman or Anandar Shankar because Blue Note have recently bought the publishing rights (so I've been told) and Blue Note are alive and well as well as being cash rich and probably in touch with their lawyers. Do Les Baxter's Hells Belles because Sidewalk are far away from me, probably long defunkt, poor and insignificant. The penalties are about your profits being torn from you plus your legal costs and damages (if they are awarded). But is a record company going to investigate for a matter of a few hundred quid?

I agree, to an extent. Quite a few places now charge more than a pound (generally when they charge high, they either do it in bulk, in which case fuck 'em, or they do it to seemingly random albums which I don't want anyway). Usually the big national chains. But lots of places still charge 50p -- or less. A pound or less seems standard for car boots. You can get plenty at this price at record fairs too. At least, I'm still picking up tons for cheap. But there again I've been insufferably smug ever since I picked up all those "Harmonic Mood Music Library" 10 inches for 25p each. I know the guy who wrote these pages, and he really is serious in that he collects what he regards as CRAP. Stuff that NO ONE wants. In three words, "Incredibly Strange Music". 50p can go a long long way. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Subject: (exotica) Petey, Cleve, Jon and Annie Date: 07 Jan 1999 09:27:20 -0500 OK, Cleve, WHAT'S WRONG WITH PETEY WHEATSTRAW!

"Spectacular Percussion Goes Latin" by Roger King Mozian and his Orchestra . It has a cha-cha version of "Put on a Happy Face" and a slinky version of "Sound of Music". Who is this guy? It is very well done. Another cool find : Swingin' Sounds for Secret Agents (Columbia) with a great version of "Secret Agent Man" by Mel Torme, Third Man Theme by Ray Conniff Orch. (more tolerable than most Conniff, IMHO) and a nerdy version of Goldfinger by Bobby Vinton (imagine your high school english teacher sining it...) plus "OO7" and "James Bond Theme" by John Barry and Orchestra. A great find (IMHO) : Cheganca by the Walter Wanderly Trio. A great pick me up for the dreary winter season. "Something Hip" (I think; the record is at home) by Ninapinta and his Bongos and Congas (where's Santa Maria?). Bongo/conga Latin versions of the Beatles "Help!" and "(I can't get no) Satisfaction" All in all, a fine catch...

I don't buy this stuff on CD (he said proudly) but if these compilations are lame, I would assume it's for two reasons: 1) They consider the lame stuff to be the REAL stuff. 2) They have a limited number of labels to choose from. To me, practically no instrumental cover of a sixties tune is exactly lame. There is some stuff that's "kinda lame" like The Hollyridge Strings and Ronnie Aldrich and his Two Pianos but even they have their moments when they're actually "pretty good"... or "not that lame at all". I certainly prefer the "pretty hot" stuff like Sandy Nelson.(some) Living Guitars, (some) Brass Ring, and (some) Tony Mottola. And then there are the odd cool surprises like "'Lectric Woods" or "The Senate". And then there's the really hot stuff like Bud Shank and Howard Roberts and that Bob Thiele record with Bill Plummer where they do "light my fire". BUT all that really good stuff is almost too good. Just like something can be so bad it's good, I think there should also be a category for "so good it's bad". It's as if this kind of stuff has to contain a certain degree of cheese or schmaltz or "camp" content or it's somehow disappointing. Which is why the Zacharias record I have is so perfect. What Zacharias stuff is on the comps? The record I have has these great versions of "Respect", "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "Always something there to remind me", among others and it walks the fine line between smart and stupid better than practically anything I can think of. Given a choice I guess I'd listen to "instrumental rock" rather than "cheesy covers" but if I were to make a compilation for someone and it was supposed to represent the era when this music was made, I think I'd err on the side of cheese and/or lame. Did anyone understand that?

It's not one of the top 5 or 10 space LPs, and not as good as Ripper, Thriller, or Richard Diamond, but I like it. Pete's version of "Snowfall" (originally from Music for Hi-Fi Bugs) is cool and hypnotic. It also has the most bizarre version of "These Foolish Things" I have ever heard. I think it's amazing, too, that Pete Rugolo could come back with a great score to "This World, Then the Fireworks" in his 80's. Long live Rugolo!

I had a friend who was bootlegging 60s rarities onto CD sending them out to Italy and then re-importing as Italian imports, taking advantage of Italy's 'different' copyright laws. The market for the records was small, and there was no intention by the record companies of re-releasing them. My friend got hold of an acetate of an unreleased record by a band with a couple of collectable singles (from one of the members) and had a run of CDs made. One of the other band members came across the record in a shop and went to the original record company for his royalties (and probably a copy for himself, maybe even the other way round). They tracked my friend down and got all his money back. You would think that the record company would then do their own pressing from the original tapes, but no such luck. But as far as I know this was the only release they got done for. So its not without legal repercussions if you do get caught. But I still say 'DO IT' and 'DO IT ON VINYL' cause doing it on home burned CDs is really just taping it for your friends and really not worth all this fuss and discussion.

I seem to remember 'postal orders' from my youth, but >what the hell are they? Having bought a few hundred dollars' worth of items from American firms and had them mailed here to England, I can offer some explanations and hints. There are a number of different ways to send remittances to the USA, but the important thing to remember is that the amount must be shown on the cheque/check money order/transfer etc in US dollars. Sending dollar bills through the post isn't recommended, although at times of the year when there are a lot of US tourists in London, bureaux de change often cut the glut by selling dollars at no comission. Money orders are one way of paying, but the overheads are high. NatWest Bank charges 14 pounds to transfer money either by wire (quickest, but most expensive, as the carrier also charges 15 pounds) or post (airmail) and the destination bank may well charge something like $5 to process the incoming payment. Therefore, it's out of the question to pay over 30 quid to send payment for something that may be only a few dollars. American money orders are, in a way, like bank drafts or building society cheques. The issuing organisation is invariably (please God!) good for the cash, so they don't need to be cleared before the goods are sent, unlike American checks (cheques), where payees like to wait 10 days for the check to clear. There is a system called Telecheck which uses American Drivers Licenses to verify the writer of the check, but it seems to be only in larger firms as yet. I enquired at NatWest Bank in London if it was possible to have a dollar current account (checking account) in the UK and yes, it certainly is. Except that the account must not fall below 5,000 pounds and each check written will cost 5 pounds in charges. In the end, acting on experienced advice, I opened a checking account with a US Bank, and I couldn't be happier with the great service I get from them (Old Kent Bank, Michigan). For only a few bucks a month, I have to facility to write $ checks - and pay them in too! I'm quite happy to wait until checks clear, and once they're processed, I get the checks back with my monthly statement - that's a service I don't get from my UK bank!!!! To top up my account, I send dollar travellers cheques with my account number written in as payee. Postage: most organisations are well clued up on international post. Most things like records and tapes can be sent AO (autres objets) small packet rate, which take about a week to cross the pond. Surface mail takes between four weeks and four months. Some sellers in America are unused to international dealings, but it is never the big problem that it's perceived to be. Hugh.

I was thinking about an Exotica List Convention for quite a while. Of course New Year 2000 would be a perfect date and Easter Island a perfect place, but: Travelling at that time will be most expensive; everything starting from flights and not ending with Hotel prizes will cost at least twice as much as usual. So, if a stay in the South sea usually is somewhere between 2-4000$ altogether it will then cost around 4-8000. Something like that. And not speaking of everything being booked out already. I don't think we will gather very many of us that way. > I think we should make a pilgrimage to SF if that ComEd/Denny thing works out. > That would be one big blast. > That will happen. It would be nice though if someone would organize an additional meeting under the Exotica list flag. What I was thinking about, before this ComEd/Denny concert came up, was more like a 3 days event. I would like to do it on Teneriffa: One day visiting the Thor Heyerdahl Museum, one day congress with lectures and discussions and one day, of course, party with life event(s) etc. Prolonged stay on private basis goes without saying. However, meeting at the Denny concert will be kind of inevitable, as many of us will probably go there no matter what; I plan to do it anyway.

Date: 09 Jan 1999 13:41:33 -0500 I've been lurking on the side for quite some time now and thoroughly enjoying the list and the various topics that have come and gone...but, of course, eventually one wants to get in on the action! I am curious as to what most members consider a "basic" library of exotica...both on CD and on vinyl. As a kid, my parents bought a good 50's stereo with a pile of "stereo demonstration" records, including Dick Schory's "Bang, Barroom & Harp", Ray Martin's "Dynamica", living strings etc. (still have them all, and the stereo!) About a year ago I hauled out all this stuff and was amazed. Since then I've started to work my way through the Ultra Lounge series, Les Baxter's LP's (when I can find them) and Martin Denny's stuff. But I know from the list there is awesome stuff waiting to be found. So what do most people consider the best artists/records/CD's to start an exotica collection? And which of the UL series should one have at all costs, and which one's should be left at the store?

Date: 09 Jan 1999 16:45:08 EST Exotica 101: (just with a quick glance through my collection, and with no pretense of being comprehensive): I like all of the Ultra Lounge comps to some degree, but tend to use them for specific tracks rather than listening all the way through. One exception is _Bachelor Pad Royale_ which caters to my Crime/Spy Jazz biases. Also, in that vein, the two Rhino comps of Crime Jazz are excellent - some of the best stuff you could want in that genre. Latin sounds? I think most exoticats on this list would rank Espresso Espresso by Karminsky Experience to be one of the best/coolest/most fun collection of latin tinged musiques. Expensive import, but absolutely worth it. Two other series well worth owning are Rhino's Cocktail Mix series (I like every single one of them, though other list members may differ) and RCA's Space Age Pop series (3 volumes) which focuses on that stereo panning stuff you inherited like Dick Schorry. Excellent, well conceived and fun. I prefer the Music for a Bachelor's Den vol. 2 _Exotica_ to the Ultra Lounge comp of the same music: rare Frank Hunter & Ethel Azama on there. Among contemporary groups, I'd guess that the consensus picks would be: _I, Swinger_ by Combustible Edison; Cocktails for Joey (swinging, latin Mancini stylings - excellent originals); Tipsy & Dmitri From Paris (for the Trip Hop /Lounge vibe) and probably the Shots in the Dark compilation on Del Fi of Mancini music (some really interesting pieces there like the surf guitar versions of "Arabesque" & "Mr. Yunioshi"). Of course, that's just the basics on CD. I presume you've already got the Esquivel, Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman compilations or reissues. A well stocked vinyl library would, of course, be much much larger... --David # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Darrell Brogdon" Subject: (exotica) Retro Cocktail Hour Date: 09 Jan 1999 18:19:33 +0000 Tarzan swings on this week's Retro Cocktail Hour RealAudio webcast.

YOU FUCKING GOTTA!!! The movie is a superb urban thriller: four men, dressed alike in trenchcoats and calling each other Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, etc., take a subway car hostage and demand $1 million in ransom. Cheap by todays standards and kinda reminds me 1 o' dem stoooopid "Superman" movies, if you catch my drift Walter Matthau stars as the transit cop assigned to the case; Robert Shaw (Quint in "Jaws") is the leader of the terrorists.

So for his melodic materials he utilized the 12-tone method of composition, a technique devised by Arnold Schoenberg in the early 20th century in which you make a theme by using all 12 pitches in a specific order, and then create other themes by playing that "row" backwards, upside-down, backwards and upside-down, or transposed. If any of you have the John Barry soundtrack score to "The Ipcress File", then you will certainly know MORE ABOUT what I am talking about here.

There are two hotels that are practically next door to Bimbo's. If a few people contact me (ie enough to warrant it) I'll ask Bimbo's if they have a deal with a nearby hotel for touring bands and see if they can pull dome strings on some sort of group rate # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: cheryl Subject: (exotica) Playlist For Space Bop, January 10 Date: 10 Jan 1999 01:33:23 -0500 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada.

Some bank service packages offer this service free as does mine. These should be treated as cash assuming the recipient has something as basic as a bank account. As I haven't for some time orderd anything from the UK (and given costs it isn't usually viable anyway) I was under the assumption that the same method works and there is no additional cost to the recipient, though this may only be a Canada-UK thing. The problem when sending a MO/BD to Europe is the recipient gets hit with a whopping fee to cash it and the direct bank transfer method is even worse. Yes much as we think badly of our banking system for high fees, the European system must make even our own bankers drool with envy. I do use Visa wherever possible and highly recommmend it but not everyone accepts it and in this case there is only one sure fire and inexpensive method open to everyone (cash in the mail is not recommended) and that is the International Postal Money Order. You buy this at your local post office and there is a reasonably small flat fee to make. Most important, it should have no fees for the recipient and is cashed at any post office.

I just found a 45 record of Leland W. Sprinkle Sr. (there's a Jr. with that name!? Annie's dad?) playing the Great Stalacpipe Organ at Luray Caverns in Luray, Virginia. What's a stalacpipe organ? Stalactites, "those stoney icicles" will resonate when struck, so Leland spent three years grinding them down to where they would sound at concert pitch. Enough stalactites were worked to form almost a four octave range and then each was fixed with an electronically triggered mallet which could be controlled by a organ console. The sound is eerily similar to a pipe organ and the natural resonance of the cavern creates an alternative to a cathedral space. At times the tone sounds similar to the primitive stone marimbas from southeast asia/indonesia,both would be in the family of lithophones. The first track is a great narration explaining the organ but unfortunately the music, seven short tunes, is mostly religious/classical. Supposedly the organ can play on automatic with it's "robot organist" so I guess any melody can be played! It would be great to hear a version of "Music to watch Girls By" on this beast. I would love to find out if this is still exists. Anybody? This has also got me thinking about some exotica sight seeing tour (or rather, sound listening tour) of similar exotica spectacles.I'm told that at least a couple of the Organ Pizza places in the mid-west still exist. If any one knows of more prime locations do tell.

I don't think there is such a thing as a basic library on vinyl since for most people, it's catch-as-catch-can. If you have Dick Schory and Ray Martin, I'd say you have as good a start at that basic library as anyone could. One thing about this list is that pretty soon you find out that a few of those strange and anomalous records you picked up over the years turn out to be sought-after "classics"... as I found out about Dean Elliot's "Zounds what sounds" and Al Caiola's "Sounds for spies and private eyes" which had been lingering the grab-bag section of my collection for a couple of years before I actually started "collecting" this kind of stuff. I was probably almost a year into this stuff before I realized how "essential" Ray Martin and Dick Schory were and you're already there. And by the way, if this resembles encouragement, it's really not. I would never encourage anybody to get into this stuff. But if you're set on it, you should know that it's endless and that you can kiss your taste goodbye. I'm making another "exotica" compilation tape for myself right now and at this very moment I'm taping a cut off a record by the Melachrino Strings. Need I say more? I notice nobody has taken on the thankless task of listing a bunch more names that would help define the "basic library". I guess there's always Ross's FAQ but I have no idea where he's got that stashed. I'd say pick up anything and everything that looks like it "fits" as long as it's cheap. Records by people you've never heard of, who probably never existed on cheapo labels with no information anywhere on them. Movie theme compilations NOT by the original artists. Anything with "cha cha", "goes Latin" or "a go go" on it. Obviously anything with "percussive", "bongo" or any drum-like word on it. Anything that looks fake. Obviously anything with "hi fi" or "stereo" in the title. Half of them will be crap but about a quarter of them will probably be pretty good. Your percentage should be slightly higher for the following list off the top of my head: The Three Suns, Enoch Light, Esquivel, Perez Prado, Robert Maxwell, Mancini, Lenny Dee, Montenegro, Al Caiola, Sonny Lester, Terry Snyder, Harry Breuer, Cugat, Denny, David Carroll, Dick Hyman. Anything on Command or Project 3 or Grand Award. Unless your taste has been obliterated, your pleasure-percentage should be slightly lower with: Arthur Lyman, Edmondo Ros, Les Baxter, Marty Gold, Ethel Smith, Dick Contino, Henri Rene, Russ Case, Sid Ramin, Leo Addeo and Sid Bass.... ...but I only created that category to stir up a few folks here. When you're ready to move into "now sound" and cheesy covers of "Light My Fire", get back in touch and we'll try again.

The only and considerable downside for me as a European is that an International Postal Money Order doesn't work the other way around, so a purchase in the US will remain to cost me an extra $15 for money transfer until I succeed to make myself trustworthy enough for VISA or whatever company to grant me a credit card.

Date: 11 Jan 1999 23:21:06 EST In the spirit of the Kids French TV CD which seems to be of interest to many on the list, here's another obscure one that could be of interest. A recent French group called "Dragibus" has a 1996 release out on the Popo Classic/Saravah label called "Barbapoux". It is 48 short simple arrangements of tradtional kids songs from many cultures with an acid jazz twist. Unique! and really great if you like this sort of stuff. They perform regularly (as if you'd be surprised) in Japan and the Popo Classic label is in fact a Japan/France coproduction project. I've had a tape of it for some time but mysteriously we found it in the kids section of a store here while searching for the French TV release. Also in this section were the 3 Raymond Scott-Sounds for Babies discs which somone obviously didn't listen to before deciding on file classfication! I don't suspect the Dragibus is too common but it's one of the perks of living in the largest French Speaking city outside France. There was a website but it was mostly in Japanese and French.

This doesn't work for me either, on the contrary, it's worse. Why? Because a letter with money is considered a package, and will be charged accordingly: $20. Registering a letter as a letter will have the advantage that it's slightly more safe than an ordinary letter, but your claims will be worthless, should it get lost.

My question is, besides the atmosphere, how's the food? All I know is, we had recommendations to visit Casa Bonita because it was "so neat", but we waited in line almost an hour and the food was quite possibly the worst meal I've ever eaten (or not eaten, after a few bites). Is this Kahiki joint the same way, or is their food actually palatable? Someone please let me know. Thanks! Peter # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "naile" Subject: Re: (exotica) Kahiki Question Date: 12 Jan 1999 09:18:34 -0500 Ah, the Kahiki- For atmosphere, its unbeatable. The food is above average to quite good, depending on what you get. Standard Chinese-modified-to-Polynesian fare. It is a bit pricey, but the experience alone is worth it. I can't say its the best meal I've ever eaten, but I will say it was considerably better than my experience with Casa Bonita as well. The mixed drinks are also quite good. The Kahiki must be doing something right with their menu, as the place is consistently packed, and seems to have a long history of such. A lot of native Columbus-ites dine there, and it plays host to major business lunches, proms, and everything else. Getting there from I-71 is actually relatively easy. Take I-71, and take the I-670 exit TOWARDS the airport. Get off at Hamilton Rd, heading South. At the intersection of Hamilton and Broad, take a right onto E. Broad St. I can't honestly remember how many lights you'll pass through (I moved to Atlanta in June). To help you out with some landmarks, however.... the intersection of Hamilton and Broad will have a Shell Station on the right, a Speedway gas station on the left, and a "Flowerama" on the diagonal left. When travelling down E. Broad, you'll be heading *toward* the city. The Kahiki will be on the left. The best I can tell you, is that when you pass the K-mart on your right hand side, you are practically there. By then, you should see the place anyway, as it is enormous. I hope you check the place out. Most of all, I hope you have fun. Make sure (if you're the drinking type) to order the Mystery Drink. :) hope this info helps! -Kev # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: Re: (exotica) More on foreign payment Date: 12 Jan 1999 09:49:16 +0000 In the UK, I'm charged =A33 extra for a registered letter to the US. = # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) More on foreign payment Date: 12 Jan 1999 11:35:34 +0100 Ton Rueckert wrote: > a letter with money is considered a package, and > will be charged accordingly: $20.

I was there in, oh, around 1982. The deal was you walked through Luray Caverns and saw these wierd rocks with lights shining on them and through them (turkish towels, they said they looked like) and it was like another planet. In the middle of this cave, or somewhere inside like, is this consloe organ. Looks like and OLD concert organ, with drawbars on each side and three registers. Nobody plays it for the tour, and nobody is allowed to play it, which I thought, being a wannabe musician, was pretty bogus. But they have a programmed tune that they play, I dont know what it is, and it was quite cool sounding. Like being inside a set of vibes the size of Wisconsin. To correct a previous post, they were not tuned. They were hit with rubber mallets to find the ones with the correct pitch. It indeed took 3 years to find the 6 or so octaves. It sounds weird too because some of the 'pipes' are up to 3 miles away, the conductive properties of the 'tites and mites' help the sound to carry, but there is a delay. You would not be able to play fast trills or any pizzicato staccatto type notes. They would sound like a drone. Of particular interest to some, .... they have old photos of weddings and functions that they used to do down there, there's a big dance floor by the organ console. Im sure that for the right price, the owners could be convinced to do your New Years 2000 party there.

Friends, I am soooo glad I went. With all the greats being dead or in ill health, this was such a rare treat. The combo with them was decent, and played a few songs before they came out. The drummer was one of the original Ike Isaacs Trio, too. The guitar player plucked the "lines" that the late Dave Lambert would have sung. Annie and Jon then proceeded to the stage, and I just couldn't believe how good and sharp they looked! Tears immediately filled my eyes. It was just unbelievable to be seeing these icons! Then, when they did their first song, I just lost it! I felt like Tom Waits in SHORT CUTS! Annie's voice, it is no surprise, has degraded for years, but her lower register still sounds solid, that sort of raspy voice that hard livin' jazz ladies get after awhile. She was elegantly dressed in black velvet, with bright red hair! And her singing, even without those vocal gymnastics, was strong! She just has that STAR POWER! Jon Hendricks, on the other hand, for all his nearly 80s years, sounds a-freakin-mazing! In fact, his voice hasn't changed much at all since the 1950s! He had a red suit on...very show biz! Highlights of the show included Annie singing her "Twisted" and Jon Hendricks performing a "work in progress"(in his words) of the arrangement of John Coltrane and Miles Davis "Bye Bye Blackbird." While saying he had the Miles parts down, he said about Coltrane, "I told my wife, it's a good thing that cat's dead, or __I'd__ kill 'em" He also did a great call and response "Gimme that Wine." Both were stellar on "Come on Home." One of the most beautiful things about this now duo, is they are keeping that vocalese form ALIVE! The jazz combo, too, helped to authenticate that form. I just feared that the show would be glitzy-schmaltzy, with like a Casio or something. I really should have known better. So many of the records I listen to are by dead people, or singers like Julie London who are content to smoke as opposed to whip their voice back into shape. This was a rare treat, and if they come to your town, you'll be remiss...if you miss.

For my money, the best of all of them. The UL series is pretty good. Anything on Scamp records is usually pretty good. The Sound Galleries, The Music for TV Dinners, the John Barry stuff, the Martin Denny stuff, the Walter Wanderly disc and so on. I recently got Talkin' Verve with a Twist and the other titles look good. Also do a search under "bossa" and you'll find good stuff, including Quincy Jones' Big Band Bossa Nova. For new bands, ComEd, Don Tiki, L'Atome, Oranj Symphonette, Action Plus and Kahimi Karie are some of my favorites. Basically, just stay tuned to the list and make a note of anything that seems interesting. Also, tune into real audio stuff, like www.tamboo.com or the Lounge show on www.kanu.org or various other places. Anyway, my knowledge of the stuff, though still minimal, has grown unbelievably just by reading the list. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert Baldock" Subject: (Fwd) Re: (exotica) bootleggin' - one resolution Date: 12 Jan 1999 19:54:12 -0000 Rcbrooksod wrote: > I think the point is REALLY MISSED HERE.

This may be old hat to many of you, but I thought I'd share it anyway. Jamal's "Macanudo" (on Argo) is around on LP, and often cheap, and has some great jazz/exotica arrangements by the great Richard Evans. Evans' arranging is more of a cool/exotic sound compared to his later funky stuff for Cadet artists. Just a quick recommendation after finally buying this record after passing on it many times. It lives in a fine world between jazz and exotica. Jamal's album "Freeflight" has a nice version of "Poinciana" that's worth a listen as well. Can anyone recommend other Jamal albums with exotic flavor?

Date: 12 Jan 1999 15:12:35 -0500 Bootlegging. Well, let's look at this, because in many of my other hobbies (Italian Horror films, Japanese Monster movies, etc) this seems to be a constant issue. First and foremost, one should consider whether or not anyone owns the rights to a certain recorded work or not. Often, the rights will eventually go "public domain" if they are not maintained by the owner, thus allowing for things like the $9.99 movie bin at your local Suncoast Video. A lot of artists don't own the rights to their own works. Sad, but true. Next, (and I admit that from a legal standpoint this is bs), comes the "moral" issue. It is one thing to say the artists are being robbed, but truthfully the "exposure" also helps. If you don't believe me, walk into your local video store and look at the anime section. When I first started watching anime (early 80's) the majority of what was available was crappy fan-subbed bootlegs at conventions. Due to the enormous amount of money being made on these, as well as the exposure, some distribution companies took notice and actually obtained the rights to releases, giving them legitimate distribution, and (hey, its a business- let's be realistic) making some money in the process. Also, they released superior product. You cannot tell me that the anime boom in America would have happened without the bootleggers. Sad fact #3: Sometimes the bootleg is superior to the "legitimate" release. My copy of the Blade Runner soundtrack on CD is from Off-World Music, who did a "private" printing of 2000 copies. This is far superior to the "legit" release which contains little music actually *from* the movie. Also, I seriously doubt that there will be a widespread release of completely letterboxed and subtitled Godzilla films in the united states anytime soon. However, due to a few enterprising individuals, and a loophole in the Berne Act, I have a beautiful collection. Don't get me wrong, I see both sides to the argument. And I will most times choose the legit product over a bootleg. However, if the bootleg offers me something more, I will take my money there. Again, case in point, my recent purchase of a 96 minute cut of ARMY OF DARKNESS from Singapore. The "legit" US release runs 89(?) minutes. I think ultimately, the exposure is the most important. I don't necessarily agree with making an obscene profit, however expenses should be covered, and I don't have a problem with paying if the "packaging" is attractive. By creating the exposure, the word of mouth, the labels are forced to realize that they are losing money. This can give the artist leverage, also. "Hey, why aren't you doing something about the demand for my music??" I don't have an answer on how to balance the two sides of the argument. If I like an artist, then I want them to be successful. I want them to make money from their craft. I also don't want their works gathering dust in a few isolated collections and becoming "forgotten". Tape-trading is nice, but it is not the wake up call to the labels that money is. I got out of the music industry 3 years ago. The 8 years I spent in it beforehand taught me enough to know that it won't change anytime soon.

No big shakes, no twenty dollar price tags, not even any cover art, unless I get a scanner soon, and even then it'd be inkjet. But here's the rub. How many would like a double CD of the Three Suns Movin' and Groovin' and Fever and Smoke? Right? I'd have bought a reissue of that, no sweat. But it's nowhere to be found. I have to be happy with six or seven tracks off the RCA comps. Why is that? Well, I'm sure it's not the *artists* wish that this stuff isn't out there. I'm sure as far as they are concerned, three sales a year is still more than the ZERO they get paid by RCA for keeping it in the vaults. The real sham is when people pledge "artists' rights to be paid for their works!" as the call against bootlegging. Would the Three Suns even see any money? A lot of their stuff were covers. Were they smart enough back then to ask for percentage, or did they cut the albums for a fee? Who are the Three Suns anyway, anymore? Who would get the dough? How much has Esquivel really seen from his reissues? I'm all for giving artists their due, but my guess is that, with the current structure of album deals, especially for artists back then, they would get squat EVEN FROM A LEGITIMATE REISSUE. How much cash could they have possibly gotten from the RCA comps? Another example. I just heard that some company licensed Dick Hyman's stuff. Will he see any of that cash really? And if so, how much? Frankly, I'd be more than happy to donate a few bucks from every sold disc that I pressed of the Three Suns right back to them, if I knew where to find them. And they might dig that more, because they'd see more! But the lazy record company wouldn't get their cut. One more argument. I bought my Three Suns albums from Thrift Stores and resellers: Did they see any profit from that? If you refuse to buy my bootleg, but instead pick them up at a garage sale, where's their take? What's the difference at that point, between buying from the guy at the garage sale, and buying from me? (As far as the *artist* is concerned. Natch, buying from the garage sale guy, you'd own the actual LP!) Okay, what if they are legitemately reissued, and you run down to the local used CD store and pick it up for nine bucks. Score! But wait, once again the artist has been STIFFED. They get no money from the sale of a used CD! So, now we not only don't buy bootlegs, we no longer buy used CDs, we avoid taped copies, we don't visit used records stores, thrift stores, garage sales, record swaps, and so on. No, we wait until RCA gets moving and actually reissues the discs, which is the fourth of never, because our little corner of the exotica world has pretty much lost it's popular momentum. If RCA truly cared about the "little guy" and the "artist" they'd reissue their entire back catalog so that the little guy might actually be able to receive a check! Think what Leo Addeo or Dick Schory could do with that cash. But no, instead, I listen on LP, happy, but they get nothing. I don't think bootlegging stuff that could be legitimately reissued is the real problem. I think it's the fact that we have to "license" stuff from various record companies, who are too fat to do it themselves, and too self-indulgent to be realistic about setting fees. Ask Ashley. It's not as easy as DES makes it sound. In any case, if I ever get my act together, I'll produce CDs at cost for those who want the MUSIC, who would gladly support the artist, if the infrastructure were there, but in the meantime, just want a hold over until it either gets a legitamate reissue, or they find the originals on LP.

Yeah I've seen the playlists but I can only dream about hearing the show. And that goes double - so to speak - for my dreams about seeing Jane's bra "in the flesh" so to speak. (Or "around the flesh" would probably be more accurate.) (I guess it was inevitable with all those cheesecake covers and bachelor pad dreams that I'd finally reveal my true self. Sorry for introducing sexual harassment to the exotica list.) Yes my life would be so much better if I could just be in Boston where I could see Jane's bra, listen to Jimmy's show and hang out with guys named Quinn Martian. But what would I do between those cherished moments? Whether I lived in Boston or Toronto, ultimately I'd still be a guy alone in his apartment making tapes and dreaming of a better life in another place with people who would make my life better for me. I mean, I know a guy here named Hank Sinatra but do I hang out with him? No. Then again, that could have something to do with the fact that he's born again Christian. And speaking of making tapes, I've been making lounge and exotica tapes the last couple of days in an attempt to move the "new arrivals" out of the cramped living room and onto the shelves where they belong. And I'm getting really frustrated. I can't find a cut that I can imagine wanting to hear again. I think I'm getting sick of this stuff. Mitchell Ayres, Urbie Green, Manny Albam... I practically broke a couple of Charles Magnate records last night trying to find one three minute cut that would end a side. Everything sounds a bit too much like "Lady of Spain" or something. And that Persuasive/Provocative sound can really wear you down... till you just want to punch the guy before he can take another one of those clever marimba breaks. My life would be so much easier if everything was as good as Living Percussion's "Jungle Fantasy" or the Three Suns "Danny's Inferno" or even Buddy Merrill doing "Out of this World". Especially if I could listen to tunes like that in my lonely room in Boston.

This collection of ultra-rare footage will showcase a unique collection of filmed musical performances from a variety of offbeat jazz, pop, and rock artists from around the globe. The films come from a variety of sources, including very early TV shows, film jukeboxes from the 1940s ("Soundies") and 1960s ("Scopitones"), and select feature film clips. This long awaited follow-up to the Secret Cinema's EXOTICA MUSIC FILMS program of a year and a half ago features 100% new programming -- little of which is likely to have been seen before by anybody attending! Doors open at 8:30 pm. The screening begins at 9:00 pm. Admission is $8.00. As with all Secret Cinema presentations, all of the films will be projected from archival 16mm film prints onto a giant movie screen (not video). Just some of the performers shown on the big screen will include: Astrud Gilberto, Desi Arnaz, Sylvie Vartan, Trini Lopez, Johnny Hallyday and Carmen Miranda.=20 Adding extra spice to this celluloid smorgasboard is a selection of equally arcane short subjects, without musicians but plenty of exoticism: Technicolor travelogues of Caribbean isles, coming attraction "trailers" for Maria Montez movies, a 1920s silent film on "Ceylon Devil Dancers and Buddas," and a look at tiki carving and other customs of the South Seas. Plus, scenes from a never-shown-in-the-U.S. French TV special, WORLD MUSIC ET SETECT, featuring organ jazz/pop-rock instro combo Andr=E9 Brasseur et= son Orchestre, Peter Max-like animation and pop-art special effects.=20 Plus, a sampling of DISK JOCKEY TV TOONS. These lost artifacts from early 50s broadcasting were marketed to local television stations for use as filler programming during Hit Parade-type shows. The low-budget, bizarre visualizations are essentially rock videos with no soundtracks, and were made to be shown with suggested popular records. And if all this weren't enough, there will be a special talk about the history of film jukeboxes by Secret Cinema curator Jay Schwartz, illustrated with color slides of rare photos and original advertising materials.=20 The Secret Cinema, begun in 1992, is a Philadelphia-based floating repertory film series that shows unusual and lost film fare of all types at various locations. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: Re: (exotica) "Bullets" over bra-way Date: 12 Jan 1999 15:06:57 -0800 (PST) > In a message dated 99-01-12 17:38:27 EST, Nat writes: > > << Yes my life would be so much better if I could just be in Boston where I > could see Jane's bra, listen to Jimmy's show and hang out with guys named > Quinn Martian. >> > > I could not have said it better. > > (Wiping a tear from my eye), > > Robert Yes Nat & Robert you are so right.

When I have "a lot of" somebody and I see an album for four bucks I usually get it. The only things that stop me are; poor condition; if I see this record all the time and think I might someday score it for 50 cents; abysmal song selection; and last but not least depends upon the presence of the "do I *really* need this" factor that sometimes overwhelms me. Or think of it this way: How much is your time worth? Is it worth four bucks to avoid all the time you will spend sitting around wondering if that album could have been really really great. I myself drew the Mendes line with '66. I have everything up to "Stillness" which was the last Brazil '66 album. It came out in 1970. Pais Tropical by Brazil'77 came out in 1971 but, I believe that the change to '77 coincided with the departure of Lani Hall, who really had the signature voice of that group. So in short, I myself would offer $2 and settle for $3, just to hear the damned thing and probably get rid of it. (My rent a record theory in action.)

One ought to at least ask before assuming that the label is gonna stonewall the idea. So ask. If they say no, go and make 1000 copies. Copy the cover and reproduce the liners. Give a few tor key radio stations and sell then rest for as LITTLE as possible, and don't even think twice about anyone ever questioning your motives. Pat yourself on the back for making more of this available at a reasonable price - thereby poking holes in the greedy economics of the "rare-record" types. (Disclaimer - there are some real good ones out there too. patronize them and pay them whatever they ask.) I have been seeing a lot of really CRAPPY overpriced bootlegs recently. This is WRONG! It's mercenary and wrong. I bought a few sight-unseen and was HORRIFIED by the shabby presentation, lack of liners and profiteering attitude of the purveyor. I expected more. Maybe bootlegging bootleggers is a good idea. Furthermore, I am still trying to work the bugs out of distributing computer files on the CD's so that labels can be reproduced for further cassette copies and CD copies..... Neat huh? I suppose if it one were to follow the shareware model, one could include the address of the artist and suggest that payments be sent there for each copy made. I bet the artist would get more this way than from the RCA disbursement office. As for the promised bootleg, well it appears my CD burner died. Perhaps the ghost (or estate of) some long-past session musician has haunted my efforts. Though I hope to make some announcements soon.

Original Soundtrack (O.S.T) CARNIVAL OF SOULS - CD ONLY 37 TRACKS, 4 NEVER USED IN THE FILM A few spoken word weirdities and the rest instrumental organ from the bowels of hell:) YUM YUM O.S.T.: Carnival Of Souls CD "In 1962 an industrial filmmaker named Herk Harvey set out to make a feature length horror movie. With the help of writer John Clifford he made Carnival of Souls -- the story of a girl who survives a car crash only to find herself haunted by ghouls. The movie played a meager run at drive-ins and later wound up as a staple on late night TV. In the late 80s it was re-released as an art house film and won a surprising amount of acclaim -- even People magazine ran a feature on it. George Romero has cited the film as the primary influence on Night Of The Living Dead and its dark eeriness is still unsettling by today's standards. One feature that enhances the film's creepiness to great effect is the pipe organ score of Gene Moore which is simultaneously atmospheric and chilling -- Imagine Korla Pandit's never recorded Halloween album... BUT BETTER THAN THAT This is the first time ever the soundtrack to this cult classic complete with stand out bits of dialog from the film and music that was recorded for the film which hit the cutting room floor, has ever seen the light of day or the dark of night. This is music that guarantees nightmares. 10 Stars Liner Notes: Were it not for Gene Moore's organ music in CARNIVAL OF SOULS, about 50% of the film would have been SILENT. Producer Herk Harvey knew money would be tight, so he asked me (John Clifford) to write a script that called for little on-street dialogue and post-dubbing. Gene Moore's score and organ playing marvelously filled those silences with the kinds of audio moods, tensions and linkages our sensibilities relish. All 3 of us were accustomed to working in the field of non-theatrical films, where each specialist was expected to do his job fast and effectively. Harvey started shooting CARNIVAL OF SOULS the day after I finished the 2nd draft of the script and Gene Moore's organ was introduced into the sound mix the day after he recorded it. In short, everybody was loose and did a lot of creative improvising.

Hill wrote: >many of these artists >are still alive, yet their creativity is no longer recognised & they are >not encouraged to continue working. Desmond has a point. A good example is Ruth Wallis, a wonderful singer and songwriter of the late 40's through at least the 60's. The only way she could record and get her great double entendre songs out there was to form her own company. Eventually King re-released the material...but it really hasn't been available. Many people who recognized how cool her music is have wanted to re-distribute the recordings. In fact, one person tried to do just that. Ms. Wallis was dismayed at the approach and made sure to get the master tapes back from him after his initial cassette release came out. Since then, she has been trying to do a good job with her music and get it out the right way. She could see there was interest and now, because of the demand, she herself has found a way to re-release her classics! I think we should all do what we can to get these great recordings released legitimately so that those who created them reap the benefits...AND we, as listeners, can enjoy them as well. If we bother to check into the rights, try to find the artist, work together on some of this, we might get a better quality CD and one that can benefit the musician as well. On the other hand, if nothing pans out...then I think the bootlegging approach makes some sense. In the Ruth Wallis case, however, I think bootlegging would have hurt the chances for a good release of her material.

This is far superior to the >"legit" release which contains little music actually *from* the movie. Are you referring to the New American Theatre Orchestra soundtrack (or whatever they called themselves) which tried to copy Vangelis's original stuff? Well, Vangelis finally gave in the pressure (or something happened anyway) and all of his music from the film was released in a complete CD. The story I heard was that Blade Runner followed on the heels of Chariots of Fire, another popular Vangelis soundtrack...but Vangelis didn't want to be known as a soundtrack artist, so didn't want his music released. His official explanation is rather vague. As he wrote "Finding myself unable to release these recordings at the time, it is with great pleasure that I am able to do so now." He did not explain why he was unable to release then. Later, he did release some of the music on the Polydor Themes CD (which I promptly bought). That may have spurred the complete release. By the way, I got rid of my first soundtrack recording once the REAL Vangelis soundtrack became available (on Atlantic) in 1994.

It is located in the basement of the old Clermont Hotel a couple of blocks down the street from my apartment (I live in a neighborhood roughly equivilant to where you live in the Mission District but a little less residential and a little more seedy at times, prostitutes on my corner, needles in the trash, stuff like that). It is an interesting place, definitely something to see if not to go to often (I haven't been in a while, no reason, just haven't been out there recently). It looks like a set straight out of your seedy Las Vegas nightmare with a small bar, a dance floor, rickety tables and red velvet wallpaper. The drinks are cheap and strong and use suprisingly good liquor (best deal in Atlanta) and all of the beer is in cans (they don't want to give the patrons weapons), it is the only place I have ever seen Heineken in a can. On a stage inside of the perimeter of the bar there will be a sucession of strippers dancing completely nude to music they select from the jukebox (they have to pay for their own music). These are the strippers who can't work at any of the more upscale clubs in town, the Clermont is the absolute bottom. These will be the old strippers with sagging breasts or the fat ones or the young and attractive ones who try to hide the needle marks all up and down their arms and thighs. You tip them while they dance and be sure you do or they will track you down after their set and brace you for some tips, if you become known for not tipping you will be banned. The dancers drink with the partons between sets and their is a little bit of hooking going on but not too much really. The true celebrity of the Clermont (though she has gotten too big for her own good now) is Blondie. Blondie is a 45 (?) year old black woman with dyed blonde hair, a bit overweight. She is a lesbian, poet, stripper who stars in her own comic book series, recites poetry while dancing, crushes beer cans between her breasts for $5, likes to knock frat boys silly with her swinging breasts and tried to steal my date from me there one night. If you ever come by Atlanta I will be sure to take you there, it is something which has to be seen at least once. -- Paul McKay Assistant Engineer Institute of Paper Science and Technology 500 10TH ST NW ATLANTA, GA 30318 PHONE: (404) 894-8389 FAX: (404) 894-4778 paul.mckay@ipst.edu # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Calling all radio DJ's Date: 13 Jan 1999 04:41:56 EST how bout non-radio djs? ie live in the bar/club djs. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Shag (working with) Date: 13 Jan 1999 04:42:12 EST >just wanted to make a public "thank you" to one of the nicest artists i've ever met!

If you read the liner notes, it's mostly a lot of "improvisation", which doesn't particularly cut it. Maybe a better term would be "noodling". Vaguely interesting, but I consider it a beginning, not a finished product. Once you're done noodling, it's time to take what you learned and apply it seriously. Unfortunately (for me), nothing really swings on this album. Though I don't think he wanted it too. It's really much more a serious twentieth century Moog study... I'll listen some more, but I am disappointed. Although I'm glad I didn't shell out the thirty bucks for the vinyl. On the flipside, it has these two other tunes stuck on there. Are these from The Age of Electronicus? How's the rest of that album. That may be the one I want... Or maybe not. In addition, I got the first Moog Cookbook album. And while I *love* the second, this one doesn't float my boat particularly either. Maybe I just don't like Moog albums. But this first one seems really really raw. Some of the covers aren't much better than Casiotone recordings. Something your kid brother might have done with his first synth and three dollars worth of sheet music. Now they do occasionally show real brilliance, like the sitar section of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Boy would I have loved to hear them to a full on cover of that with sitar and tablas. That would have rocked. Other sections show real promise too, they just never really come to fruition. Finally I got Cornelius' million-seller. Some of the tunes are pretty good, but most end up as just alright. I haven't heard the whole thing yet, but once again, I'm tired of buying things I haven't heard before! All these things that are supposed to be so great and I spend my hard-earned cash, only to be disappointed. Sigh. Finally, on the thrift front, I picked up a record by Bruce Prince-Joseph, King of the HiFi Harpsichord. Not bad. If you like organ music in general, you'll probably like this. There are a few tracks that are worthy of airplay or mix tapes and the rest are decent enough that I'll probably dub it to disc for my listening pleasure. On the same trip I picked up Ding Dong Dandy Christmas, beat, but listenable. Both for a quarter. You can find good stuff in thrifts. Even a casual thrifter like me. It does happen!

Date: 13 Jan 1999 09:07:47 -0500 Actually, when I state "incomplete", I'm referring to the Atlantic release. Yes, it claims to contain "unreleased tracks" that "never made it into the movie", however, compared to the Off-World Music relase (Catolog # 9301), it sadly, dims in comparison (imho). The "unreleased tracks" contain what sounded to me, as new recordings of pieces to be used as filler. Again, this is my (albeit harsh) opinon, and I don't want to come off sounding like "nyah nyah I got something cool!" () 'cuz I'm not. I can post a track listing if you're interested. Off the top of my head (I don't have it at work with me, today), I can tell you it has 18 tracks, and runs about 72-74 minutes. It also contains the Ladd Company theme, as well audio of the original trailer. There's also a bootleg version of the soundtrack from Romania, that is again a little more complete than the Atlantic release. You might check eBay, as both of these tend to go up for auction once in a while, or some of the usual soundtrack resources (S.T.A.R. Records in PA, or Footlights Music). I found out about this on usenet, originally, and happened to be living near S.T.A.R. Records at the time. Like I said, got lucky. :) Sorry for the confusion. -Kev -----Original Message----- >Are you referring to the New American Theatre Orchestra soundtrack (or >whatever they called themselves) which tried to copy Vangelis's original >stuff?

Date: 13 Jan 1999 14:24:50 -0500 Hey, thanks to those who emailed me about the FAQ. . . It seems to be lumbering back to life after all. For now Hugh Petfield has kindly put it up on his Hugh's Lounge site, http://www.tribute.dircon.co.uk/lounge.htm , if anyone cares to take another look at it. . . So this got me thinking about some gaps in the current version. . . and to relate this to a recent thread here, I thought it might be useful to add a new entry, something like: Q: What are some classic exotica albums that deserve to be reissued, but never have been? Just to get the ideas flowing, some ones that have been mentioned on the list before include, _Dynamic Twin Pianos_ (Ferrante & Teicher), Latin-Esque (Esquivel), _Polynesian Percussion_ (George Cates), some Billy Mure. . . And I totally love the idea of a twofer with _Fever and Smoke_ with _Movin' and Groovin'_--Just don't forget the bonus tracks from _Fun In the Sun_! In my mind, simply because the price of some LP has shot through the roof is *not* a sufficient reason to reissue it on CD. You never know, was that just because of DJs are buying it for one track? Just because of the cheesecake photo on the cover? I think that an album is "crying out for reissue" only when there are 3 or 4 really good tracks and the whole thing keeps you interested. Just my .02, I thought Hyman's _Electric Eclectics_ was borderline by this standard, though it has three tracks I really love ("Johnny Pot," "Give it Up..." and "Minotaur"). It certainly is a time caspule--but I will probably not be listening to most of the other tracks more than once. cheers, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: Re: (exotica) more on The Clermont and those big black breasts Date: 13 Jan 1999 14:25:10 EST Hey Gang...Don't forget to stop by the Golden Banana on Rte 1, Peabody, MA when you're in Boston either.

Of course exotica albums are not the only genre to be faulted here. This can apply generally to just about any album with a consistent style or sound. I guess when consistent turns into persistent it crosses over that fine line of listenability. This is one reason why comp tapes and CDs (and radio programs) can be so thoroughly entertaining. So make a tape featuring the Impact Brass and throw on a bunch of other tunes that compliment this.

Some >of the covers aren't much better than Casiotone recordings. Something your >kid brother might have done with his first synth and three dollars worth of >sheet music. Ah the various interpretations of the "moog aesthetic". If there was a record of my kid brother playing primitive synth versions of sixties tunes, I'd probably be more interested in that than a "serious" record like the Hyman one. "Serious" is probably the wrong word. But I would have preferred it if Hyman had brought the same wild imagination and arrangement skills to his first Moog record that he brought to such organ classics as "Danke Schoen", "Discotheque Doll" and even "Goldfinger" on his Command records. Among my moog records, there are cuts in which the moog is subtly and skillfully blended into the mix and effectively used as another musical instrument. Maybe Tartaglia doing "Within you, without you" would be an example. And in the "skillful use" category, I'd probably have to include the "Switched On Bacharach" record and the second volume too. But even on those records, there's something "inappropriate" about the use of the moog, something over-the-top, something just plain wrong. And that's what I'm looking for in a moog record. And I'm looking for that fat and bubbly sound... which you get with Perry and Kingsley and with that Harry Breuer/Perry "Happy Moog" record. I haven't heard the Moog Cookbook (it's on CD!) but I think I know what it is. And I'm sure I'd enjoy it the same way I enjoy the Moog Machine doing "Time of the Season" or the Electronic Concept Orchestra doing "Grazing in the Grass". But that's not really what I'm looking for in a moog record... even though when I find it, I'm happy. I'm happy because it could be worse. It could be tasteful. And "tasteful" is the death of moog records for me.

Sorry you feel that way. I rather like the album, but I have a soft spot for it, because my mother bought the Minotaur/Topless Dancers of Corfu single. Being a inquisitive and wrongheaded 6 year old, I assumed: 1. Seeing that the label said Dick Hyman and his Electric Eclectics, I assumed a room full of women working at adding machine-style devices making the music (my brother had told me that a synthesizer covered a wall of a room). 2. I thought that "Topless Dancers" implied people with only their lower halves, so I thought of a bunch of legs dancing. As for the album, I don't think "Minotaur" needs to be seven minutes long, "Tap Dance in the Memory Banks" is clunky (he admits as much), but I still like the album. It sold fairly well and there was a follow-up (it had an orange cover), so that may be where the extra tracks come from.

Yes, I know it's supposed to be a tribute to >the blues, but I just hear an imaginary emcee saying, "Ladies and >gentlemen, Miss Blaze Starr!" (or fill in terpsichorean of your choice) One thing that I love about this list is that I'm constantly being reminded of albums that I haven't listened to in years.( or at least months) It might just be that I'm in the heat of the moment, since having just listened to this, but I'm reminded what a spectacular album this is! Prado has always been one of my mainstays and the "Theme of Two Worlds" I have always thought of as a drop dead gorgeous romantic exotica moment. Not to mention its amazing use of a string section which Prado had never previously shown any talent for. And it is good thing that this piece is so strong since Prado essentially pads out the _Exotic Suite of the Americas_ with no less that three takes of this number. To respond to the "incongruous stripper music", yes this track, "Blues in Cmajor", is both. I do get a chuckle from this since it seems a bit out of character with the rest of the suite which seems to be in a minor key for one, but especially since it comes in right after "Uamanna Africano" which could very well be the most stellar example of afro-latin percussion rhythms in the whole of the exotica genre. (Here I go again with my overblown superlative, I should have wrote liner notes for these guys!) But, over all I'd say that this is one of Prado's most amazing critical successes, and dare I say, a shining moment. And if you consider the previous achievement of the Voodoo Suite it seems that Prado was kind of going out on a limb with this kind of program music. There may be others who produced this kind of thematic album side, though none come to mind right now. Side two of this album also features an excellent assortment of songs and recalls to mind the recent comments of being able to listen to a great album al the way through. The variety of tunes on this album definitely lends itself to repeat listenings. "Son of a Gun" is one of the great signature Prado tunes that no "best of" comp. would be comlpete without. And the one hopelessly lame melody "I Could Have Danced All Night" is given the Prado treatment and turned into a rock-a-mambo bit of brilliance, complete with a series of over the top drum rolls throught of the song. thanks m.ace for reminding me about this album, it helped make an otherwise drab,cold January Wednesday into a an exotica reverie.

I rather like the album, It's more psychedelic and avant garde compared to the pop switched-on-hits records, but when evaluated on its own terms I think it holds up rather well. And, historically, it's pretty significant. The musicianship and arrangements on that thing actually ARE very complex and composed specifically for the nuances of the instrument. It was *1969* and it was an early application of a then-very awkward instrument. Also bear in mind that was ALL Moog -- most of the other Moog albums, from Perrey & Kingsley to the Moog Machine were supplemented with Ondioline, electric organ, drums, guitars, etc. so of course this LP will sound "thinner." ... >It sold fairly well and there was a follow-up (it had an >orange cover), so that may be where the extra tracks come from. Yeah, the bonus tracks came from the AGE OF ELECTRONICUS album. Admittedly I didn't know about it until after the CD's release either, but there is an insanely rare killer Hyman Moog 7" (Command 45-4136) which apparently was released only as a white label DJ copy, flopped, and never made it to retail -- if anyone's seen a stock copy, do tell. It's got a rockin' A-side, a Hyman original (similar in tone to Kingsley's "Hey Hey") called "Strobo" b/w a nifty "Lay Lady Lay." It's unfortunate Varese didn't use these barely heard wonders as bonus tracks, as it was probably the only chance for the masses to have access to these songs. People who already owned both LPs on vinyl probably would have splurged for the CD too if they'd otherwise passed...

This is one reason why comp tapes and CDs (and >radio programs) can be so thoroughly entertaining. Rumours of my tiring of exotica have been slightly exaggerated. In fact, it's not "exotica" exactly that I'm tiring of. It's more that bright, bouncy, brassy, percussive stuff. And those vaguely Italian-sounding tunes you might find on a record called "Carnival" or "... Around the World". "April in Portugal", "Poinciana" etc etc. And don't bother pointing out great versions of those tunes. I'm sick of "I love Paris" but I still like the Alvino Rey version I have. I guess I've come to the conclusion that these things weren't really made for "collecting". It's like those CD compilations of blues artists. Those records just weren't made to be listened to like that. You'd buy a 78 and play the grooves off, it would break and maybe a year later you'd replace it with another one. You weren't "supposed" to have all the guy's records, let alone play them back to back like on the CD. Or maybe that's a bad analogy. Would if have killed these lounge musicians to WRITE a few tunes? The sorriest excuse for an original tune would be sweet relief from the umpteenth version of "Cheek to Cheek". I used to hate this stuff. Then I got interested in it. Then I found myself liking it. I'm not sure I ever progressed to loving it but I certainly am obsessed with it and it does bring me pleasure. But I guess I still have that thing in me that hated it all those years. And lately I've been contacting that part of me more and more. I know it's kind of stupid to be telling you all this. As if there's something I can do about it. All I can do is take a rest. Trade in more records. Don't buy records like Jo Basil's "Rome with Love" even if they do have a cool cover. And get out more.

Then you'd have a Swingin' New Lifestyle(TM) and the > world would be improved. I'd definitely buy that. :) A friend of mine who owns a used record store bought an oldish electric organ and one of the guys who works for him is thinking of learning to play vibes. Then they're going to put together a group called "The Flesh Mallets" and play lounge tunes around town. Actually it would have been perfect if they could have played at this legendary watering hole which is called "The Morrissey" but it recently went out of business. I've never had any luck learning a musical instrument but if they put together that group, I'm thinking I should try the melodica. Like Steve Allen... whose lost a bit of credibility lately with his Bill Bennett/Dan Quayle style lectures on "morality and the media".

There's a lot of unreleased material on the Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny (on Capitol). most of the unreleased stuff is excellent; in additin there are a bunch of tracks which aren't available on CD any other way (to my knowledge). Also, most of the stuff on it from the Exotica LP is from the Stereo version; the Scamp reissue is the (IMHO) superior version. But, it is kind of nice that the stereo version is included here since you can listen to both and see what your preference is. I was disappointed with the liner notes, however. Not as detailed as any one of the Scamp reissues, but at least there are writing credits for every song. If you're geeking out into Denny like I am these days, it is well worth the investment. -Kevin # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Martin Denny Date: 14 Jan 1999 15:58:51 EST In a message dated 99-01-14 15:02:42 EST, Peter writes: << If I buy the Scamp re-issues and have the UL comps, is there any reason to by the 2 disc retrospective from Capitol? >> This is a tough call. I have all of them and each fills a different "spot" in my collection. Admittedly, I am an absolute Denny fan and appreciate that there are those that are not as excited by his music as I. A few of the things l like about the UL Comp: 1. The art work by Ryden is spectacular. 2. The sound quality is excellent and stereo. Is it enhanced? Maybe. Does it make a difference to me? No. 3. There is a version of Black Orchid on disc 2 that is nothing short of spectacular. The keyboards by Mr. Denny are excellent on this cut and second only to Quiet Village, this is my favorite cut. I have only found Black Orchid one other place on CD and that was on a cheaper CD (Pair Records - I think) and the quality was not as good. 4. The liner notes are very nice but I and others have noted a couple of mistakes in the history of Denny. 5. There are 40 songs total. You can load these two CD's in your carousel and get a varied Denny experience for close to 2.5 hours. 6. I love the Scamp releases and have them all. However they are exact copies of the original records and lots of the songs are not real "hits". DO NOT TAKE that comment as a slam. Scamp's releases are GREATLY appreciated and Ashley and Mr. Denny are to be congratulated on keeping his work true to the original release (some in mono, original liner notes, etc.) The UL is not cheap. I have seen it anywhere from 19.95 on sale to 24.95 which is the regular price. I still think it is worth it. Then again, I go back to my original comment that I am more fanatical about Denny than most. Good luck and let me (us) know what you do.

One can see over the course of the film that Pete Kelly goes and >Friday starts to take over! Jack Webb's "Joe Friday" doppelganger was born June 3, 1949 -- the first Dragnet radio show broadcast. The TV show debuted December 16, 1951. They did both versions for a while! Julie London took the kids and moved out in August 1953, 'cause Jack was doing the workaholic thing -- always at the studio, never home. Criminy, Jack, you've gotta keep those priorities in order! "Pete Kelly's Blues" was originally a Webb-developed radio show which ran in summer of 1951. Webb played Kelly: "My name's Pete Kelly. I play cornet. You'll find us at 417 Cherry Street, Kansas City. It's a standard speakeasy... ...half a buck buys a pair of socks, a spaghetti dinner or a down payment on murder." Webb eventually brought the concept back as a TV show which ran in Spring & Summer of 1959, with William Reynolds as Kelly. Dick Cathcart dubbed the cornet playing in the radio, film and TV versions. Oh, here's an obscure, but strangely familiar Webb TV series: "Noah's Ark", September 1956 to October 1958. The day-to-day stories of two veterinarians and their assistant. An animal health and safety Dragnet. Brian's correct -- Webb really does slip into Friday-mode by the end of "Pete Kelly".

I thought that a good way to get an idea of what I like would be to FF00,0000,0000grab some compilations...so I found a shop with quite a good selection of exotica CD's and got: Mondo Exotica (UL) - I really like this one. I was really intrigued by the Martin Denny cuts, so I ran out and bought: Exotica: The Best of Martin Denny (Rhino) I do enjoy this one, but, is it just me, or do the recordings seem to have a "rougher edge" than their Capitol counterparts? I see today everyone discussing the Capitol Denny compilation. How does it compare, in most peoples opinion, to the Rhino collection? Now, after noticing that Les Baxter wrote a lot of Denny's great FF00,0000,0000stuff I went back out and bought: The Exotic Moods of Les Baxter-I LOVE this one. It truly grows on you...I'm more impressed by Baxter's arranging & songwriting each time I listen to it. I keep hearing things I missed the time before. I figured it was time to explore some other areas so I bought: Mambo Mania (UL) and Exploring New Sounds in Stereo (Esquivel) The Mambo album is fun, just great fun! I only wish Perez Prado had recorded for Capitol. And I enjoy the irreverent way Esquivel leads his band through his wild arrangements. This one is also gaining more depth as I listen each time. So that's what I got. I'm going to try to find the money to grab "Havana 3am" and "Bachelor Pad Royale" this weekend.

Okay, I admit I did this once already. About 20 years ago, I formed a postpunk band because I thought standards had dipped low enough for my vocal stylings. At first we were called "The Kuckers" which was my name and I thought it was perfect but eventually I got voted down and we changed our name to "Double Lunch". We mostly covered sixties tunes... but in our defense, I'd say that I didn't know of any other bands that were doing that at the time. Not with a Farfisa organ anyway. The highlight of the show was when I stripped down to my bathing suit in the middle of "California Sun" We played a couple of parties and then graduated to the bar scene. I stayed for the first few weeks of bar gigs but then I got a grant to make a film and the band, figuring my film career was about to take off, asked me to leave so that the drummer could become the lead singer. For you Canadians, that drummer turned lead singer was my old pal Ralph Benmergui. So I was forced out, Ralph moved out front, they got a real drummer and changed their name to The Stingers. As the frontman, Ralph certainly had his female admirers. I don't remember ever getting laid as a direct result of being the lead singer of that band. And not only did my film career never take off - not that it's over yet - but I don't think being a director has ever gotten me laid either. Not directly anyway. In 1989 it did lead to a very very attractive proposition by this beautiful German woman but "unfortunately" at the time I was living with a woman. But all that is about to change I think. If I ever finish the film I'm working on now, it will get me laid. It already got me kissed and it's not even finished. Does any of this fall into the category of "more than you needed to know"???? > And >maybe someday you can crudely proposition Celine Dion on live TV (ala Serge >and Whitney Houston). We would all be so proud of you. Well if I'm only allowed to crudely proposition Canadian pop divas, can we switch it to Shania Twain at least? Or Alanis Morissette? I met her once at a party when she was still just Alanis, disco queen. She was sweet. In fact, I'd even prefer to proposition Anne Murray. Clearly I prefer ambiguous sexuality to whatever it is we would call Celine. If I'm going to enter Serge territory I better start losing weight. I have the nicotine stained fingers so at least I'm partway there.

Count me in for a swap for the vid or audio of it when your project is done. There is a CD out called "Classic TV Game Show Themes" that has the original on it. Jim Lange, the host of the original show and now on SF Bay Area's KABL radio still uses it to talk over. Per the liner notes, a live house band called THE REGENTS did the theme.

I have been wondering about that for a long time. Martin Denny and Esquivel (the other 2 of "the great three") are represented very well on cd, but somehow Capitol (or other companies) don't seem to have much interest in re-releasing his work.
