Not so fast! I remember a disatrous club appearance of Danielle Dax some years back where the whole pre-recorded tape apparatus failed and she walked out in disgust. It showed how much of of her work was dependent on the studio. Lots of groups follow this pattern and seeing them live is really difficult if things don't work out properly. More recently, Arling & Cameron were a good case in point when technical problems with a sampler/player caused the show to be nearly stopped here in a small club. I doubt many musicians are as professional and in possession of such good senses of humour as this duo and they were able to play through the problems and make the experience enjoyable in the end.

Following the Japanese model they do not delete anything... And, all releases are done with VERY thorough notes. I heard the owner is quite proud of the way this label is run and it is certainly among the most respected going. Strange how a German label ends up being the source for so much American material but this says a lot more for Europeans and a lot less for Americans though this is a path and discussion I don't want to begin somehow. Anyway, to me Bear Family has tremendous interest in that it has reissued the majority of the 60's German "schlager" artists. No not Heino, but Hedi Bruhl, Conny Froboess, Caterina Valente, Peggy March, Manuela, etc. I have a number of them on order though the local dealer is highy unreliable so it may take another year until I see anything! I did order one called "Twist in Germany" that looks to be a lot like that fantastic tape Moritz sent a few years back that first hooked me on this stuff. It's not at all like the more orchestral - instrumental material on Get Easy! but more vocal. Kind of a German equaivalent to say Nancy Sinatra. Originals of this stuff are next to impossible to find outside Germany, and as I discovered not so readily available within Germay either, so thankfully Bear Family is out there! BTW, I'm happy to share the tape which we call "Get Easy Moritz!" with any interested members...

Best sound imaginable, hardcover books included with tons of photos and notes on every song!!!! Grape vine has it that some of the single disc items are not quite as good as they use their single disc releases to support their mammoth reissue boxes, but every single disc issue of their's I have heard has also been top notch. Always with booklets full of pictures, interviews with the artists, notes on every single song and the best possible fidelity. Don't let the price scare you away.

He is constantly surrounded by pretty girls playing fiddles, french horns, pianos and harps. Joanne Castle does an incredible accordian and piano number.

When I got the tiki, I asked the owner a little bit of history for my own knowledge and so that when my friends came over and saw the "pink elephant" in the living room I could at least give them a sense of what it was and where it came from. According to Bobby Seto, the owner of Aku Aku, this tiki once graced the entry Aku's predecessor, Polynesian Village, which was located off the foyer in the Hotel Somerset in Boston's Kenmore Square area. Polynesian Village, owned by a hotel chain according to Bobby, opened in 1948 and remained there for 20 years until Bobby bought it and moved the location to Cambridge's Fresh Pond area and renamed it Aku Aku. While it was Polynesian Village, its chief rival was Trader Vic's which was opened in 1950 (plus or minus) and also closed in 1968. It was located in Boston's former Park Square area, home also of the renown Hillbilly Ranch (also defunkt) and is now known as The Park Plaza Hotel.

The best part of the set is already covered by the Capitol one disc set...and now I think Capitol has done even better most recently. Of course, the packaging is unparalleled, so if you like pictures and documentation, it is still quite worth it. Unfortunately, Disc One (the best of the set) for me had some sort of an error in it and won't play on any cd player. I may have to buy the entire box set again just to get the first disk...but then again, I already have the Capitol disc and don't feel the need to do it right away.

Music videos a decade before there were music videos,(huh, Scopitones anyone?- JB.) acclaimed choreography by David Winters (pug-nosed A-Rab from West Side Story - JB.), Emmy Award-winning direction by Jack Haley Jr., Nancy and Lee Hazlewood together and Frank, Dean and Sammy in their prime.

It's called "Puffin' Billy" and was written by the British light music composer Edward White. Apparently, it was inspired by a visit White made to a steam engine exhibition on the Isle of Wight, where one of the antiquated engines was called Puffin' Billy. The tune was also used as the theme for a BBC children's show in the '50s called "Children's Favourites". Don't know who played it on "Kangaroo". Probably the most recent recording of "Puffin' Billy" is on a CD called "Miniatures" (Marco Polo 223522) by the RTE Concert Orchestra.

And "Schlagers" was also the name of one of those "Loss Leaders" Warner Bros. LP sets. Was anyone else as intrigued as I was about these constantly advertised albums (All Day Thumb Sucker, Big Red Ball), only to see them in droves in the used bins? PLEASE correct if wrong, but what I can recall of my German, "Lieder" denoted older songs, like folk songs, while Schlagers suggested something more contemporary. However, shouldn't I be posting about music? Yes, you should, Phillips. On Sunday, while watching Nat "King" Cole's show on the BET on Jazz channel (Sunday is Stan Getz!!), I noticed and (partially) taped a group called "The Beachcombers and Natalie" (?). They sang "Muskrat Ramble" (which they cut a commercial into, dagnabbit!) and "My Funny Valentine". The two things that I found rather nice about this rendition of "...Valentine" was: 1. Natalie was of decidedly Asian extraction, so with Tony Bennett as "guest host" (Cole was on there, pretending not to host his own show), Cole and Natalie, that was quite a lot of ethnicity on stage for the early fifties! 2. Why I taped the song was not the harmonizing, which was quite good, but the fact that the middle bit had, instead of a solo or a tap dancer, featured something rather cute. in time to the music, all four of them tore paper pieces of paper, strip by strip. Very cool, indeed. Afterwards, Cole came out and did the spoken introduction for "Muskrat Ramble" and he tore a piece of paper in time with HIS words!

Also, I'll be embarking soon on a 14-city author tour and would love to meet any exoticats who can attend one of my reading/signings. For the itinerary, go to: http://www.menmymotherdated.com/ and follow the link that reads "The Author on Tour." Hope to meet some of you guys along the way.

Disc 2 offers acts who mix samba and other Brazilan sounds with elements from jazz, funk and psychedelia. Highly recommended! Don't confuse with the double vinyl "A Trip To Brazil: Bossa & Beyond", which features exactly the same front cover, and is really a "best of" compiled from "A Trip To Brazil - 40 Years Of Bossa Nova" and this very "vol. 2: Bossa & Beyond".

True this is the literal meaning but the term seems to covers a wide range of popular music ranging from the more traditional Volksmusik (I think folk music... but Woody Guthrie it sure aint!) to the sappy and schlocky. Sure most of it is crap but there is some good stuff buried in the pile, most of the best being non-Germans singing in German and/or German language versions of Non- German songs.

Also released as The Elektrosonics-"Electronic Music" Both circa 1960 Musique Concrete has NEVER been so melodic before or since these 2 releases Psychedelic outer space electronic, with Horn Sections and even a Private Eye/Crime Jazz Interlude on 1 title. Tom Dissvelt and Kid Baltan's "Song of The 2nd Moon" is electronic outer space musique concrete BUT in the most melodic and psychedelic way ever conceived. This record will make you have to reevaluate what you thought, electronic and musique concrete, was. It was music that was used in Television as theme music for the "Fantastic Theater" program in Tulsa, Oklahoma circa mid 1960's. It was also the theme music to a somewhat similarly themed TV show in Australia, in the early to mid 1960's. It was also used on Boris Karloff's 2 (masterpiece, btw) LP's on Mercury called "Tales of The Frightened", which I also have, ("Monsters" CD Page) AND IS the weird outre' electronic sounds that Boris speaks over, is his "music bed", BUT, all slowed down and twisted up sideways, with added swooshes and whooshes of storms and such; However, "Song of The 2nd Moon" is melodic, BUT SERIOUS electronic musique concrete musics, and VERY outer space. Unless you have heard this, in 1 way or another, you've never heard anything like this. Also of great note, is that this record, though totally and completely different than his style or sound ever was, this was THE RECORD that Jean Jacques Perrey heard and rocked his world so hard, that he heard that he could do and decided to do the voodoo he does, so well! It showed him how musique concrete can be melodic as well as being serious music at the same time, with great humor in it as well. Yes it did. But "humor" doesn't always mean a "laugh" or a "chuckle" or is "ha ha ha" funny. No it doesn't. It even has a Crime Jazz sequence that comes totally out of nowhere with great horn arrangements with electronics AND THIS RECORD, is pre-moog. That's right. The Moog Synthesizer was invented and available for use in 1966. Perrey and Kinglsey's "In Sound From Way Out" (Vanguard, 1965) had no moog on it, as this has no moog on it Titles; Song Of The 2nd Moon, Sonic Re-Entry, Moon Maid, The Ray Makers, The Visitor From Inner Space, Orbit Aurora, Twilight Ozone, Pianoforte.

The whole thing was written like a twisted episode of "Father Knows Best": the 70s being a decade when many folks my current age were looking wistfully back to the snug 50s when there was as yet no herpes or pot and all we had to fear was Russia (whose spies were everywhere). Anyway... that particular issue featured the sensitive tale: My Vagina, in which a high school boy wakes up one fine morning to find he has one. This is one of the funniest and most immature pieces NL ever featured. Also in that issue was a story told in a series of cartoon panels about three men driving around fast, drunk and on quaaludes who, along the way, costume themselves as Mr Peanut, the Pillsbury Doughboy and the little Alka-seltzer character (one panel shows Mr Peanut taking a swig from a bottle of whiskey through his eye-hole) and converse on a wide range of subjects, such as the strangest places they had relieved themselves: "I once went in the back of a television set." Eventually, they crash and burn and the final panel is a newsman warning of the dangers of drunk driving. "Ew Daddy, that's gross!" "You bet it is. Ask your mother."

He was 90. Born in Louisville, Ky., in 1909, Jones performed around the Midwest with artists and bands including Jimmie Lunceford, Stuff Smith, McKinney's Cotton Pickers and Lil Armstrong, the wife of Louis Armstrong. His energetic solos with Smith's Onyx club band in the late 1930s earned him widespread attention, and he soon earned a spot playing with Calloway from 1941 to 1952. Jones played Dixieland with Earl Hines and made a European tour in 1954, then began the work that won him fame beyond the world of jazz aficionados. His covers of swing favorites and show tunes brought him a string of successful hits. He sold a million copies of his versions of ``On the Street Where You Live'' and ``Baubles, Bangles and Beads.'' He won a Grammy in 1959 for the album ``I Dig Chicks.'' Jones toured and recorded throughout the 1980s. He retired from public performing in 1993. His final performance was at a benefit for the Jazz Foundation of America at the Blue Note in Greenwich Village.

The National Lampoon Radio Hour was also great. I've got maybe 20 of the shows on tape and there is some very smart radio comedy in there. Michael O'Donoghue was an amazing writer. There is one 45 second bit they did that still stands, for me, as the radio comedy bit to measure all others by. It's a bit where one guy calls another from his dentists office and tries to have the other guy guess which one of the 10 commandments he's breaking.

A wonderful vocal French combo, making Brazilian music with Sergio Mendes like vocal stylings; I estimate they're 2 male and 2 female voices. Mostly bossa nova-ish, but also with 1 fantastic happy Brazilian carnival sound. Reissue from 1969. Accompanied by Le trio Camara, and by strings and brass on a couple of tracks. Sounds as if remastered from a not too mint vinyl copy. Dusty groove writes: Groovy groovy groovy! Les Masques were a 60s vocal-oriented Brazilian combo from France, and they had a tight jazzy approach that was similar to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66! That alone would be enough to make them #1 in our book -- but they also get some excellent backing from the Trio Camara, who back the band with some nice organy riffs, and a very tight rhythm section! The whole thing's a great lost bit of Braziliana -- with that crossover sound that you'll hear on the best 60s and 70s European recordings of this sort. Includes the great groover "Il Faut Tenir", which has shown up on a few compilations over the years -- plus "Mais Un Jour", "Enfer", "Echo", "Un Regard .. Un Sourire", "L'Oiseau", and "Les Filles et Les Garcons".

Disc 2 offers acts who mix samba and other Brazilan sounds with elements from jazz, funk and psychedelia. Highly recommended!

When you're a schlager fan you get used to thinking you're alone! Of couse I'm a good 5,000 km+ further from Germany but... As a schlager fan people automatically associate you with a certain right wing element and instantly relate you to Heino! Talk about an image problem associated with a classification! Speaking of... I passed up the chance to buy the Heino Christmas album at the store last week (yes, it's as dreadful as the others!). I took the $8 I would have otherwise spent on this one and put it toward a copy of the very rare and Canadian "Return of The Incredible Bongo Band" which I'd never seen offered anywhere before. Now I just have to find the first release which is supposedly more common. What are the chances of seeing these two reissued?

Date: 03 May 2000 14:38:56 -0400 Picked up an interesting vocal LP last week, but it's not the vocals that made it cool per se but the arrangements: "Sittin' on Top of the World by the Jones Boys. Spencer-Hagen Orchestra" This is on Liberty records. The Jones Boys were a 4 Freshmen type group that played the Catskills. Spencer-Hagen arrangements were very Rugolo-esque. If you ever see it pick it up. A couple of other new things (for me) on Liberty: "Lucille Star. The French song. I think this lady was really from Canada. Produced by Herb Albert and Jerry Moss. But what was really interesting is it's arranged by Herb Albert and Julius Wechter taking a great from Tiquana/Baja Marimba sound. I usually hate the song "Dominique" but this one was done very well. "Kay Stevens in Person at the Copa". She looks like Lucille Ball and sounds like a lounge lizard version of Ethel Merman with a big band with a lot of that weird talking back to the audience. Anybody here like Timi Yuro? What does she sound like? Usually when I see something on Liberty I pick it up, but the copy I saw was really beat up.

I've heard the Peggy March "In Der Carnaby Street" on Bear Family and it's really good! Moritz also personally recommended another in the series. There was another series on Teldec with a comp by Caterina Valente (Includes my very favourite German version of both "Itsy Bitsy Weenie Teenie Weenie Honolulu-Strand-Bikini" and "The Peppermint Twist". There's also a comp on this same label by Manuela I'd buy if I could find, and one by each of Drafi Deutscher & Vico Torianni which I'd probably pass up.

I bet few people know France Gall did a number of records in German. Had to get a friend in Germany to find it for me but there is a CD available and it's VERY good! For any one interested here's the details: France Gall - En Allemand - Das Beste in Deutsch (Eastwest Records, 39842 16042, Germany) 1998. Bear Family is also known for their catalogs which are so well done you will want to file them with your music books! There is a small one specifically on "Deutscher Schlager". I had Moritz go through it and make some recommendations and he picked 12 to start!

(AP) -- Teri Thornton, a jazz singer who won critical acclaim in the 1960s and late 1990s and suffered near-career oblivion in between, died Tuesday from complications of bladder cancer. She was 65. Her career highlights included singing ``Somewhere in the Night,'' the theme for the television show ``Naked City,'' in 1962, and winning the Thelonius Monk International Jazz Competition, one of the most prestigious in jazz, in 1998. Thornton, a Detroit native, started performing in the 1950s. She moved to New York in 1960, and landed national television spots, club dates and record deals. But her career never had the sustained momentum she hoped for, and the dates began fizzling out. A move to Los Angeles didn't help her career, and Thornton returned to New York in 1983, where she found steady work with small jazz bands. It was in 1998, after Thornton had been diagnosed with cancer, that she had her comeback by winning the Monk competition, then releasing her first album in decades on Verve Records. # 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: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: (exotica) National Lampoon Date: 04 May 2000 08:25:59 -0400 > > > Were there any National Lampoon albums besides "Good-Bye Pop" (still >have > > > it, I think) and "Radio Dinner" (gave it away)?

It's a parody of Woodstock, with a bunch of impressions of various Woodstock-ish acts, SO-SO. There's, "The National Lampoon Stereo Test & Demonstration Album". A parody stereo demo album. It's got John Belushi and Chevy Chase (back when he was funny) and other Lampoon alumni. It's rather funny in places and it can actually be used as a stereo test & demo album. It's super rare, I think it was only sold through the magazine, I think. I got my copy from a store in Toronto. "National Lampoon Golden Turkey" - album full of bits from the "National Lampoon Radio Hour". The radio show was killer, but these bits are not some of the best material. "That's Not Funny That's Sick", This is still my all time favorite comedy album, Bill Murray, Christopher Guest, Richard Belzer, Brian Doyle Murray and others. Lots of great material and Bill Murray does his awesome Del Close (Murry was a student of Close) "Man who plays the bass" character. Chris Guest does a great Joao Gilberto impression and there's just tons of creative cussin' and inspired nastiness. "National Lampoon's White Album" - heard it a long time ago and it was bad. There's also a Watergate tape album, which I don't recall being great, plus one or two others from the 1980's which I wouldn't waste my time on. There is a Rhino box set of 3 CDs (they relesed it as 2 CDs then the next year it came out as 3) of the Best of the National Lampoon Radio Hour, I haven't hear it but I read the track listing and it's most of the good stuff from the show, plus the included book makes it a must have if you're into that sort of thing. -Roy G.

Animated Short. Date: 04 May 2000 12:28:17 -0400 Hi friends, I wonder if somebody here can clear up a little childhood mystery for me. I remember seeing this animated short. In the US they have not shown shorts for years but as a kid around 1969-72 daddy took us on the Italian ocean liners: The Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo Da Vinci. On one trip the movie theater played this cartoon/ animated short/music video over and over again. Loved it. It was a very Mexican/Spanish cartoon with a lot of "bouncing", most of the colors might have been yellow and orange. I always wanted to know what the music was. Maybe "Tiquana Taxi"? Maybe done by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass? They were very popular around that time. Anybody know this? This morning I finally picked up a copy of their greatest hits, the only place I could find Tijuana Taxi. I?ll listen to it tonight and see if it jar?s any memories! But it's been so long I may not recognize it. Thanks!

But it's not intended as such -- it's a very different, 70s-prog-rock-influenced cinematic moodpiece. And from that perspective, I think it succeeds. As for the comment about several songs being too similar to one another, most film scores are like that. You'll have a theme and various plays off them, perhaps even a reprise, etc. --Rod www.hitchmagazine.com # 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: Jazzbaby27@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Virgin Suicides Date: 04 May 2000 13:44:38 EDT heck..

I like the first half of the book better - very good history and background on Mort Sahl, Jules Feiffer, Lenny Bruce, Dick Gregory, Vaugh Meander, Smothers Brothers .... all those that set the path and did all the gruntwork that allowed National Lampoon to emerge. The second half drags a bit - too much egoism of Hendra's coming through, but it's still nice to hear some of the 'behind the scene' happenings. My favorite image is of John Lennon, leaving the room 'several shades whiter than pale' after first hearing the vicious parody of him titled 'Magical Misery Tour' from the 'Radio Dinner' LP. Hendra also wrote the lyrics for the 'Desiderata' parody ..."You are a fluke of the universe ... you have no right to be here."

The first one, Sacrifice/Primal Rhythm of Life, arrived and the other, Story of Survival/Savage Rite, is on backorder. They're on the UK - Zonophone label (same as Lord Sitar) and dated 1999 with original releases of 1973. The one I got has a mid-price sticker on it. Anyway I've always liked anything I've heard from this group (thanks in large part to Allan) but I can't help thinking from listening to this CD that I've heard a lot of this music either on TV or in films. Does anyone one know what the story is with this band? I have strong suspicions that this is the Les Baxter of tribal music somehow but can't say for sure..

Most of the real gems are from the 60's and little of what I've heard from the later decades is too terribly consistent. I can understand your reference to some of it being "hard to take" but I can say that none of the material on Moritz's tape would qualify as this. We should swap tapes and compare notes! > found some cool french "schlager". what would be the french name? This is France we're talking about so I would think "pop" but pronounced with a distinctly French accent! I don't think "chanson" fits as this is used to describe the more serious vocals of say Piaf, etc. Jean could surely shed some light on this subject but I asssume you're referring to the likes of Jacques Dutronc, France Gall, Nino Ferrer, Francoise Hardy, Serge Gainsbourg, etc. The French were certainly better at this than the Germans but I never knew the German material existed and this was the most surprising part for me. There seems to be an equally huge collection of similar and quite excellent Italian vocal music of this era which I had also never known about. Thanks in large part to Gionni it's been a very happy discovery!

What an LP that is! Actually three of our finest Royal Canadian Mounted Police with guns pointed on the Victorian caped villain who had tied a sheep to a railroad track. A sure sign as any it's a Canadian effort! I thought a bit at first about buying it but the guy at the store said a record like this usually lasts about half an hour and it had been put out not all that long before. The price... about 12 of those overvalued pounds of yours. It's in very good condition visually but has noticeable light surface crackle (even after the Nitty Gritty treatment). Canadian records of this era were known for their inferior quality so I don't know if a cleaner copy could exist! The last time I saw a copy of the first record it was really scratchy and they wanted the equivalent of 8 pounds for it. I'd actually looked at getting it, had it been in bettter condition, for Allan who uses a piece from the group for his intro to Mondo Bongos Of course I haven't come across another copy since! Isn't this always the way... > Heino or the Incredible Bongo Band. Ummmmmmmmm, let me think for a minute. You are going to kill me but... a near mint copy of Rajput & the Sepoy Mutiny - Flower Power Sitar was the second item I picked up... so Heino was really a distant third choice!

He was 74 and had become a rancher and fitness guru after retiring from acting three decades ago. At age 21, Mr. Reeves was 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, with an 18-inch bicep, a 51-inch chest and a 29-inch waist. In 1954 he had small roles in "Athena," a satire of the postwar health craze, and in "Jail Bait," directed by Edward Wood. From 1954 to 1969 Mr. Reeves appeared in 18 movies. The bulk of them were sword-and-sandal epics shot on relatively small budgets. "Hercules" was followed, in 1960, by "Hercules Unchained" and "The Last Days of Pompeii." http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?p=avg&sql=B59366 # 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: "james brouwer" Subject: (exotica) Re: just joined / Barry Adamson Date: 05 May 2000 15:00:10 GMT Hey Jamie, welcome aboard. you mentioned: >Barry Adamson ( Mute >records ) Have any of you heard any of his stuff?

Discography: http://www2.southwind.net/~markw/barry/disco.html Moss Side Story is great, especially the CD which has about 4 extra tracks. Oedipus Schmoedipus is pretty good too, but I haven't heard anything else he's done. His last album got good reviews (As above so below), and the last on the list appears to be a 'greatest hits'. # 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.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) recomendations?

Can;t remember the labels it features, but it's all pretty raw sounding, with good instrumentation, like vibraphones etc. As Jack Diamond used to say, "All Killer, no filler!". There's another by the same people called 'The Cream of Northern Soul' but have yet to find it lower than about 18 quid. There's also a couple of compilations on Music Club, one called something like 'Cooler Shakers! 30 northern soul foot stompers' and one called something like '20 Northen soul floor shakers' - again both very good, although the 30 song one has the edge. Got these for 5 quid each in Oxford St HMV, btw. Two Motown volumes of unreleased stuff, (including Frank Wilson's 'Do I love you', once sold for 20,000 UKP alledgely) called 'This is Northern Soul Vols 1 + 2' aren't too bad either, but neither are as great as the above comps. The 'For Millionaires Only' (referring to the huge prices of Northern Soul 7"s) comps are supposed to be good too, but I haven't heard them. Moving into more funky territory, a Music Club comp called 'Stone Cold Funk' has some seriously funky stuff, as well as a few Northern soul tracks. Again, another dead cheap one in the UK.

I thought quite possibly, THIS was Northern Soul. NOW that I read a little bit of the pull-out liner notes, I see that "Soul, Inc" were/was the name of 1 band/group, from the UK, mid 60's They recorded for a few different labels and had #'s like "Poppin Good" Part's 1 and 2, "60 Miles High", "Stronger Than Dirt", "Who Do You Love" etc etc etc Is there anyone familiar with this sound or this band who can give me more of a genre classification with what I have told you here ?

Freancesco De Masi!!!!!!!! Remember that name if you want some KILLER Italian western music. BEAT Records from Italy has a killer cd out with three complete Francesco western soundtracks on one disc titled "Francesco De Masi's Western Soundtracks." A good place to start with Morricone is the 2 cd set on Rhino "The Ennio Morricone Anthology". It covers all his work, not just westerns. It will clue you in to which records you will be more interested in searching out the complete LP of. Besides, there is a lot of great non-western stuff on there --- electronic, fusion, and just plain crazy stuff! TO AVOID: the DRG double disc A Quintet Of Morricone Westerns. It is a really disappointing disc overall with not too many good tracks. HOWEVER DRG has a series called Spaghetti Westerns. Most are double discs and are 50/50 good to bad. The one that is a single disc is great. I forget if it is vol 3 or vol 4. Forgive the spelling/grammar mistakes, I have to leave in a second and am in a hurry.

Lil' Wally was very very popular in the upper midwest region. He is probably the one person most responsible for the spread of polka music in the Wisconsin and Minnesota area in the 1950's. My father, who lives there, is a big polka fan, and he considers Lil Wally a real legend. Lil Wally formed his own record company (Jay Jay) and even had his own pressing plant. His biggest selling song 'Wish I was Single Again' peaked at #22 on the Billboard charts - not bad for a polka performer. He also wrote the song 'She Likes Kielbasa' - a favorite polka of mine.

Don't know the label though and he is the only guy's work you need, SW wise. It's a double CD, so for you, double trouble;^) << Try "My Delicious Spaghetti Western" on DagoRed. It's a 1998 release, and is a pretty good compilation of spaghetti western tracks. >> Here's one I'd give a 50/50 rating. For me nothing on this disc is bad, it's just that only two or three songs are great, and I already had them. Had this disc for a year and sold it. Just found it to be boring listening as a whole. Again, it's not that I dislike it or anything on it, it just didn't DO ANYTHING for me (I hope as record collectors you all understand what I am TRYING to say). I am all for Ennio. But I would NOT say he is the only guy you need. Freancesco De Masi!!!!!!!! Remember that name if you want some KILLER Italian western music. BEAT Records from Italy has a killer cd out with three complete Francesco western soundtracks on one disc titled "Francesco De Masi's Western Soundtracks." TO AVOID: the DRG double disc A Quintet Of Morricone Westerns. It is a really disappointing disc overall with not too many good tracks. HOWEVER DRG has a series called Spaghetti Westerns. Most are double discs and are 50/50 good to bad. The one that is a single disc is great. I forget if it is vol 3 or vol 4. # 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: 06 May 2000 16:32:45 -0500 Friends, Romans, Exoticats...here's the scoop on this week's Retro Cocktail Hour webcast.

He was 88. Among his diversified business interests were El Morocco, the legendary society nightclub, which he owned from 1964 to 1970, and, in the mid-1950's, Voisin, a restaurant popular with social and entertainment figures. Before taking over El Morocco, he owned the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach for several years. Born in Ukraine, Mr. Uchitel came to the United States in 1917. He entered the garment business, and eventually had his own business making shoulder pads before going into the restaurant trade. His 1945 marriage to Patricia Pollack, a singer, ended in divorce in 1979. He is survived by two grandchildren. --------------------- Full obit at: http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-b-ulanov.html Barry Ulanov, 82, a Scholar of Jazz, Art and Catholicism By BEN RATLIFF,NYTimes Barry Ulanov, a professor and author or translator of nearly 50 books whose interests included jazz, theater, Christian humanism visual art, Carl Jung and Catholic literature, died Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 82 and lived in Manhattan and Woodbury, Conn. Mr. Ulanov placed popular culture within the context of American art rather than isolating it as mere entertainment, and wrote some of America's first serious books on jazz. He taught at Princeton University and Barnard College for almost four decades, covering subjects as varied as literature, art, religion and psychology. His father was concertmaster of Arturo Toscanini's NBC Philharmonic and had a horror of jazz. He wanted his son to become a classical violinist. But the younger Mr. Ulanov, already smitten with jazz, broke both his wrists in a car accident as a teenager; this served as a convenient excuse to stop playing the violin. He chose Columbia University over Harvard to be closer to Harlem's jazz scene. There he studied with the anthropologist Franz Boas and the critic Lionel Trilling; he edited the literary magazine, publishing some of the first articles and cartoons by Thomas Merton; and began to write about jazz for The Spectator. After graduating in 1939 he became the editor of Metronome, a classical music magazine that also covered white swing bands. He remade the magazine, adding a focus on jazz, bebop and black performers. In the 1940's he planned a trilogy on the figures he considered most important in American popular music: Duke Ellington, Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. "Duke Ellington," published in 1946, was the first biography of Ellington. "The Incredible Crosby" was published in 1948; the Armstrong book was never written. Mr. Ulanov also wrote two overviews of jazz history, "A History of Jazz in America" and "A Handbook of Jazz," both in the 1950's. During the 1950's, he wrote about music for Esquire, Vogue, and Down Beat, as well as scripts for radio and television. He was known for championing bebop performers, particularly Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. He was also an early crusader for the work of the pianist Lennie Tristano, who repaid the favor by writing a tune called "Coolin' Off With Ulanov." He was a member of the Vatican II Council, helping to translate the Roman Catholic Mass into the vernacular from Latin. He was also a supporter of amplified guitars and rock music in the church. # 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, May 7 Date: 06 May 2000 22:54:51 -0400 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm Eastern time on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada, and on RealAudio (real time only, for now) at: http://www.ckut.ca As usual, all comments, questions, and feedback welcome.

COMPILATION OF THE WEEK: Growing up in the '50s and '60s, there were some commonly offered up pictures of the future. Key among them (at least to me) was the notion that we'd be riding on monorails in the next century. That notion was sonically enhanced when, at the age of about 12, I bought a Columbia Masterworks album of electronic music by Morton Subotnick. That record served as the soundtrack when my friend Chuck Bell and I would make recordings on a little reel-to-reel deck, dreaming up ludicrous scenarios of space exploration and extraterrestrial hijinks. More than three decades have come and gone since that time. I forgot all about the monorails and so did most everybody else. 'OHM: THE EARLY GURUS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC' (Ellipsis Arts, out now) is a three-disc set celebrating the dawn of electronic music. For the most part, these 42 pieces recorded between 1948 and 1980 sound like a curious branch from the past -- a branch that jutted out one way while everything else went in a different direction. Though there's an element of looking back at a view of the future that's now outdated, this presentation is thankfully free of nostalgia. This is a noble document and is sufficiently rich and varied to allow listeners their own emotional stake in the sounds. Awe, dazzle, bemusement, mystery, and even the possibility of nostalgic reveries are mingled throughout these wildly varied pieces. In fact, what was once so completely different and surprising can now be heard purely as it is, free from the constraints of its era. And yes old Mr. Subotnick's on board as is everyone else from John Cage to Terry Riley, Edgard Varese to Pauline Oliveros, Milton Babbitt to Holger Czukay, and Clara Rockmore to Brian Eno -- who also wrote the forward to the accompanying 96 page book.(David Greenberger) 4. GROOVEBOX OF THE WEEK: Oh my, this is a good album. The idea behind 'AT HOME WITH THE GROOVEBOX' (Grand Royal, out now) was to give a Roland MC 505 Groovebox -- described in the liner notes as "a compact programmable synthesizer containing sounds from the 808 & 909 drum machines, [and] the 303 bass machine" -- to a group of musicians and see what each one did with it. The end result is a neurotic blend of vintage electronic samples and warped beats; something that 1950s aliens would produce if they wanted to get a groove on. Despite such prominent artists as Beck, Air, Sonic Youth and Pavement, the best songs come from the more obscure artists. French electronica pioneer Jean Jacques Perrey saturates his epileptic track, 'Groovy Leprechauns,' with nearly every sample he can squeeze out of the 505. Syncopated bells compete with hiccuping pops, squeaks and scratches to a slapped bass riff. It works well as the opening track, introducing the listener to the Groovebox's capabilities. Scottish trio bis' "Oh My" opens with Kraftwerkian vocals and then bursts into infectious '80s hip-hop with a catchy chorus shouting, "I can do it with my MC 505/You can do it with your MC 505." The hypnotic mantra may just convince you to get your own Groovebox, which leads one to wonder why Roland didn't come up with this marketing concept; the album is a showcase more of the Groovebox than of the artists. It's also ecstasy for the ears.

It's a Bill Murray spy spoof with a swingin' "spy jazz" score by Chris Young (especially the title sequence--featuring sort of a Lalo Schifrin meets Raymond Scott theme). Plus, the movie's crammed with great exotica tunes as source music! Henri Rene's "Hansel and Pretzel" and Mel Torme's "Comin' Home Baby"-- I think it was Mel--both blare from a car radio during a chase and "Fever" by The Three Suns punctuates one scene between Bill Murray and Joanne Whalley (somebody must've had a jones for "Fever"--about four different versions in the movie so far). I'd heard of this movie but hadn't seen it before tonight. I gather it didn't do that well at the box office. Pretty cool. Anybody see this movie? Has it ever been mentioned here before??

Do you view it as a good thing or a bad thing? I view it as mostly good. "Real" Hawaiiana geeks like me don't overly care... it is just a bit more socially acceptable and the selection is better though quality is sometimes awful. A guy at work who knows I am drooling over his upcoming trip to Tahiti saw me wearing a "hawaiian-ish" polo shirt and immediately labeled me as obsessed! Yep, guilty as charged.

I have strong suspicions that this is the Les Baxter of tribal music somehow but can't say for sure.. Brian usually Charlie answers this one, so I haven't said anything til now, but mandingo is a pseudonyms of one of the more productive UK easy listening composers. I think Geoff Love. So in terms of output and range I suppose you could compare with Baxter, but not much of his other stuff is that exotic. I think he also did the Manuel and the music of the mountains. Some Shirley Bassey too. (Saw her in concert last night, no miming there I think, 30 piece orchestra and a dress change). Bearing in mind that this is all from my notoriously unreliable memory.

Do you view it as a good thing or a bad thing? Well, as an "old timer" of a collector or this stuff for about 10 years, and a collector of vintage men's apparel, music, lamps, furniture, etc, for almost 20 years, I think it's "interesting" and if the print is unique enough AND there aren't 10 of them on the rack OR if they have been discontinued AND in my mind I think I will "never see" anyone else wearing that print, I "might" buy 1. There was a time in my life, when I grew from a Large, to an Extra Large, which is where I am now, that I could not find to save my life any vintage abstract print or Hawaiian shirts, SO I broke down and bought a new shirt, which is VERY rare The ONLY thing vintage I usually buy are shirts, whether they are abstract print/Hawaiian/ and waist length zipper/button rockabilly jackets It's "funny" that, that changed for me, right after I bought this new abstract print shirt a few years ago, but actually still love that shit and have NEVER seen it anywhere else I used to be almost anti-cotton or "bark cloth" in my abstract print shirts, but then, found some real early killers, as most of the one's found are from the 60's, which is a bit late for me, as all the one's I've collected happen to be from the late 30's-the 50's. I think I have mentioned it before, but what the hell, here it is again Some, only a few are on my "House of Games" website, in which nothing is for sale, BTW, unless of course I have a duplicate copy of something AND that NEVER happens with fabrics or shirts, only rekkids:-) http://www.jackdiamond.com/houseofgames I don't think this "trend" will let up. Men, women and children love them, those straight ahead "Hawaiiana" prints, the Tiki-Esque designs etc etc etc., the "new" Rayon, the "new" washable silks, the feel of it's entire being, they love. They have been VERY much in the major stores and smaller stores here in the San Francisco bay area. It's a big time summer/spring thing. Whether I like it or not, well, what do I "like" about corporate anything ? Not much and do my best to not have anything to do with any of them, without screwing myself over too too much I gladly pay a little extra money to support independent business, the smaller companies, the smaller distributors, because; 1) I am 1 of those guys. I am a small independent business who tries to carry unique titles and artists that may not get the attention they truly deserve. 2) I know that if the world continues to support big business and corporations, to save a buck or 2, (and I am sure it will) that in the long run, maybe not in my lifetime, but in my next lifetime:-), I will HAVE TO buy all of the music there is at "Tower" or "Amazon.com" or whatever and that the smaller, independent and more unique titles released, will come to an end and they will not be around for anyone to buy, because the corporate/big businesses won't want anything to do with something/anything that doesn't sell "3 million UNITS" or more. The reason that the "Ultra Lounge" series was so much more "popular" and is still so much more in so many people's minds than the late great SCAMP label, was also because of POLITICS within the music industry, also generally known as "scum of the earth". They were both part of the very same corporation/company. Capitol/EMI...I think Ashley Warren or Cleve will kindly correct me:) Yes, Ultra Lounge and SCAMP were from the very same company. They were on the "same side" The BIG difference in "why's" is that Brad Benedict of the UL series was given "a zillion dollars" to market and sell his product compared to "a thousand dollars" given to SCAMP and Ashley Warren to market and sell his product. Ashley Warren was infinitely more of a purist than the bar hopping trend hopping person that Brad Benedict was as BB has already jumped ship from UL and hopped onto the "next big thing" like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy or whatever other bullshit there is, which is probably old OLD news, by now Don't get me started! ;) Jack The bitterness of poor quality and poor service lingers long after the sweetness of the cheap price is forgotten.

First let me point to some excellent cds all of which I believe have been deleted: Rhino Records - Cocktail Mix: Bachelor's Guide To The Galaxy, & RCA - Space Age Pop Vol. 2: Mallets In WOnderland Irwin Chusid did the track selection for both of these exceptional discs. I have never heard (nor, likely ever will) exotica/lounge compilations of this extra high quality. Every track on both is great. And the sound is excellent. WHY? Because Irwin has been a fan and proponent of this music for YEARS AND YEARS! That's why. He knows this stuff like most of the rest of us do, if not better. Ultra Lounge --- 50% of each cd is lame/filler. They have messed up the sound on a lot of the mono only recordings by putting them into bullshit fake stereo. ALmost every cd has TERRIBLE fake newly created "medleys" of two songs from different artists being mixed together into a stupid medley. And the advertising for UL set the whole thing up to be a flash in the pan hip little scene. It begged people to buy the music so as to laugh at it. I do not listen to this music because I think it sucks or is stupid. I listen to it because a lot of it is brilliant, inventive, clever, and makes me smile. If I thought it was fun to listen to music that was terrible I would just turn on the friggin' radio! And bravo to Irwin for including a chapter in his new book on the brilliant Bob Graettinger. Who else would spend time and energy writing a chapter on someone who is completely overlooked, but has no status as a cult musician and could never possibly achieve that status because his work is too challenging to be camp. I no longer buy lounge comp cds. The one's I make and trade with friends are far superior to anything in the UL series. PERIOD! And finally, Jack is 100% right. It is the small labels who are putting out complete cds of complete original albums. I think that's what most of us want, not some comp cd that has had more money and attention spent on how it looks rather than what is on it or how it sounds. Ofcourse, if you disagree I respect your right to do so, and this is in no way intended as a personal attack on anyone.

Concrete! (or Bedazzled/Lady in Cement)! Date: 08 May 2000 18:54:09 -0400 The French have a saying which goes roughly "If 50,000 people say it is a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing". The reverse seems to be true: "If exotica list members say it is a great thing, it is still a great thing." The Bedazzled/Lady in Cement CD is pretty great from top to bottom. The raves were mostly justified. Sorry, Br. Cleve, I happen to LIKE the Nun's Chorus, albeit it's not got much beat to it. Little did I know that Stanley Moon and Dremble Wedge were singing the same tune, with different lyrics. If A&E hadn't cut it, I would have remembered it a bit better. Grrr. The big surprise to me was "Lady in Cement". Hugo Montenegro was no stranger to Rock and Rhythm and Blues, having been involved with the Isley Brothers "Shout" album (which features the words "Rock, Brother" under the RCA emblem on the cover), but with the exception "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" and "Give Me the Simple Life" (can't help thinking about Campbell's soup when I hear that, "At first it was strange/Coming home to the range/But I've got a working wife/It's no big deal/Making our kind of meal/So, give me the Campbell life!" Must...bathe...now...), the Lady in Cement really cooks! It cooks so hard, I am almost afraid to see the movie. I grew up among a bunch of soundtracks and to this day have not seen "Mackenna's Gold" or "The Big Country", but still know the tune to "Old Tucky Buzzard" and two of the Big Country's songs (incidentally, who told United Artists it would be a good idea to record the album in same bathroom that they used for "The Mountain's High" by Dick and Dee Dee and then pull the midrange out?) The sound on the CD's is mostly pristine. If they got it from disc, I cannot tell. These babies are clean. Lastly, I couldn't and wouldn't have gotten it save two things: 1. Rampant good taste on the list. 2. Rampant Jack Diamond. I have never had anything but smooth transactions from him. He delivers. Thank you! Brian Phillips P.S.

Concrete! (or Bedazzled/Lady in Cement)! Date: 08 May 2000 20:16:00 EDT Brian, Thanks for the review of the Bedazzled/Lady In Cement cd. I had been avoiding this one as someone had remarked that it had pretty poor vinyl to digital sound, but it seems now that this was not the case. EXCELLENT cause both of those LPs are KILLER. As far as seeing the film Lady In Cement goes, you might not want to. I am a huge Sinatra fan, but I hate that film. It's very homophobic with two caricature gay characters. Also the plot is stolen totally from Raymond Chandler's "Lady In The Lake." See a good Chandler based film noir instead. One last note on the film, it's got several scenes that are pure filler. Very disappointing. If you wanna see a good Sinatra film check out "Some Came Running" or "The Manchurian Candidate." Can't wait to order me a copy of that CD now!

"Straightaway Jazz Themes" on Roulette features themes he wrote for the early '60s TV series "Straightaway" about race car drivers. Performed by Maynard's famous late 50s, early 60s big band with Jaki Byard, Don Menza, Lanny Morgan, arrangements by Don Sebesky and Willie Maiden, etc. Not great, but a lot of fun and an interesting sidelight to his long career. The TV show only lasted for one season.

It is the small labels who are putting out complete cds of complete original albums. I think that's what most of us want, not some comp cd that has had more money and attention spent on how it looks rather than what is on it or how it sounds. >> I agree it is certainly hit or miss picking up "lounge" comps, although from time to time I am surprised and delighted to find one that has more than one or two good cuts - some that come to mind that I recently acquired include the Lounge DeLuxe 3 CD - compilation on Pulse from the UK (sure seems like a small label to me ) - I wouldn't say every cut's a winner, and there is some overlap from some other comps I have, but there are enough new ones, good ones, to say this is worth it for sure. And the Okazaki Hiroshi and His Stargazers compilation is fantastic - truly outstanding, from Readymade Records - again, not a large label like Capitol/EMI, but they seem big in Japan to my perception. Which brings me to another point: I have gotten a TON of stuff that are great re-releases of full albums by great artists, and some great compilations, too, from big labels like RCA (Spain) for Henry Mancini, and Polydor (Japan) for more Brazilian music and generally cool, groovy sounds, MPS re-issues, and the list goes on and on - and these Japanese releases can be very pricy - so why don't these moronic labels put out domestic releases of original material? Because they don't think there's a domestic market. And I say they're wrong, but I can't back it up with demographics, and probably couldn't find a domestic Rep with sense enough to listen anyway. Oh, I guess that's because they're too busy promoting Brittney Spears and the Back Street Boys - oh joy. Fortunately, I think the internet's ability to identify diverse users in what have been viewed as fragmented markets, digital distribution, and content aggregators will begin to make some headway with the big labels. At least, I hope so. There is still a ton of great music out there that is so hard to find...especially stuff we don't even know about yet! -- Mark D.

I have various tracks by them on remix 12"s and compilations that fill up a whole cd-r. Most that are post-Trip Tease. As far as a whole new record I dont think there is one planned, anyone else know? Oh and if you are into Tipsy, you should note that there is a new Stock, Hausen and Walkman release called Organ Transplants vol. 2. its the follow up to their Organ Transplants vol 1 and if you dont have that one, go get it. Vol. 1 is Chock full of Exotica samples and devoid of dance beats. Truly interesting. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who likes Tipsy. Im awaiting my copy of Vol. 2 in the mail. There is also a new Curd Duca cd-Elevator 3 if you are into that thing, he samples plenty of exotica stuff and twists it around and creates completely original music, truly a one of a kind artist, though he tends to be a bit minimal for this list. Hey, has anyone heard the band Space Ponch? I heard a snippet at the OtherMusic site and damned it if they dont sound exactly like Perry & Kingsley. I say they are ripping them off a bit. does the whole cd sound like this? Anybody own it that wants to comment on it? Seems like there is lots of great new music being released recently.

Jack, There were little cuts on the UL's I don't know about most of the other CD's as they were packadged in those protective anti-theft cases...There was waaaayy-too much material, unopened, to be from a person....right?

For several years this phenomenon has involved many aspects of entertainment, from the recovery and presentation of musical genres that have been ignored for many years, such as 60's and 70's French and Italian film soundtracks, to the screening of rare "pearls" of the cinema. This festival intends to show the different aspects of this phenomenon in one evening. The evening will begin with a concert by one of the key composers in the history of Italian film scores, Maestro Piero Umiliani. Accopanied by his quartet, Umiliani performs the most represtative tunes of his career, from the "Solti Ignoti" to "Svezia Inferno Paradiso", as well as the Lounge music classic "Mah-na Mah-na". The evening will proceed with the Italian band Balanco, from Bari. who have risen in the Italian scene thanks to their single, which sold thousands of copies internationally. Their music definitely draws from cinematic influences and has a contemporary beat. The second half of the evening is dedicated to DJ sessions by DJ's Fez-File (Nicola Conte & Fillipo Bratta ) and Brother Cleve, from the noted Boston band, the Combustible Edison.

Probably, but many thing's have their ways of getting into people's hands, so maybe not There are places that buy cut outs or more commonly known as Discontinued at 25 cents on the dollar and then resell them for anywhere from .50 per CD to $4.00, but they usually have a minimum purchase price, like $200.00 Like this, you or anyone can buy "X" at .50 per CD, but you have to spend a minimum of $200.00 OR $1.00 per LP, or whatever the cost They are sealed, not even a cut-out or cut anywhere to be found. They look and most likely even are "new". It's also at these kinds of places where all the bootleg LP's and probably CD's are sold Grey market, such as all the blaxploitation LP reissues that have been coming out for more than a few years, but actually, those cost a lot more than 1 - 2 $ Jack > Sinatra, Matt Murphy, Peggy Lee...

A cut out can indicate that the item has been deleted from pressing and is sold to the store, and the ultimate buyer at a discount price. This started years ago with records. When a record was out of print but companies were still left with many copies of records that weren't selling they would cut the corner or cut out a notch, or put a small drill hole in the cover. The idea was you could buy the record for cheap but it was less valuable as it was not intact. Also it kept retailers from selling these records they got for as little as 10 cents each from selling them at full price. This continues today with cds. SOme of the RCA History Of Space Age Pop series can be found in stores with a cut out. These are no longer in print. The manufacturer or a distrubtor has sold them very cheaply and the cut-out diminished the value and alerts consumers not to pay full price. NOT TO BE SOLD CDS: when you see a cd that has a hole punch through the bar code that is a promo cd that was given away for free. Supposedly the disc is still owned by the manufacturer and only on loan to radio stations or record stores for inhouse play, however, they never request them back. Most often you will find these used as dj's from pro radio stations as well as dj's from college stations will sell them to used cd places. That should cover all the bases.

I like comps whether they are done by Capital Records, the Exotica Ringers, Jack Diamond or Johan Dada Vis (Just played a great James Bond comp of Johan's radio show) Comps for me always lead to more music by artists who have released classic albums. I think there are many great comps such as Music To Watch Comets By that point you in a whole new direction of music. The U L comps similarly are signposts that direct the uninitiated and jaded into styles/types of music that they may not have been involved in before: ex Bongos or organs or exotica. There's lots of good songs on these ULs and why did Capital release them? Because its call the "music BUSINESS" For me the more releases the better. I still can't figure what the labels were doing in the 50s and 60s releasing all these weird albums I see in thrifts . WHO bought this stuff 40 years ago?. Maybe somebody someday will be saying that about the UL comp Space Capades. I sure wish Capital would get its act together and release Les Baxter albums as twofers with bonus cuts. Not likely though since they tried this with the Beach Boys and pulled the cds off the US market and rereleased the albums singularly w/o the bonus cuts. (Now you have to get them from Canada) I have very little faith in Capital Records.

Those cuts joined from two different selections really bug me and the liner notes do nothing for me. The bonus cuts (with no information at all) are also annoying: either they are on the CD or they aren't. You can't tell me you made the CDs months after you printed the cards and booklets. Its like the guy who wrote his friend a letter and said "I was going to enclose the five dollars I owe you, but had already sealed the envelope." Yes, the series could have been shorter and more interesting...just like other compilation series could have had more CDs (like the RCA three discs). Give me full platter CDs (70 plus minutes) with great liner notes, musically relevant illustrations, a dash of style and unadulterated cuts, I'd praise to high heavens such a compilation series. Frankly, I don't think such a thing exists.

I bought it knowing nothing about it, was amazed, and my disposable income has been decimated ever since. ---Rod >> Rod, this is basically what happened to me and Organs In Orbit (a CD many don't like). I found it in a local CD store called Millennium that lets you listen to CDs before buying. It was so great (I know, my opinion), I went thru and listened to all the other 12 available at the time. When I played Mundo Exotica I had the same experience. I only bought the Organs the first day then went back and got Mundo the next day and Bachelor Pad Royale a short time later. I would battle in my brain which of the 3 CD's to play. So in a sense, I am just like you. I have those UL's to thank for my introduction to this type of music. And yes, it was the packaging that caught my eye and helped seal the purchase. Finally, most of us that have not been listening to this music for 15 years got our introduction to this music by comps of some form (commercial or friends). And as much as I enjoy the reissues (Esquivel, Denny, et. al.), I realize that I probably would not have bought one of these as my first dozen or so selections. So when I tip my hat to, say, someone like, Ashley for releasing the true to form Denny reissues, I also comment that if it were not for the UL series, I would never have bought ANY, much less ALL, the Scamp CDs that were issued. Of course my love of Denny is widely known, but even I realize that many (and I admit, most) don't "get" that type of music. But I can load a half dozen UL comps in my office CD player and set it to random play and the folks visiting my office enjoy the variety. I guess since the purist view of straight reissues is so compelling, I should just play the Zounds! boot straight through followed by Comstock CD. etc, etc. And if I do play some of the stereo synthesized CDs, I will patch the right and left channels together so it sounds more like the mono that was originally recorded. I also think it is so easy for us to get smug because we know all the "standards" and most of the artists and many of the details of the recordings. I am sure those that join this List because they have a half dozen UL Comps they like, think most of us a bunch of unapproachable Exotica-Elites. Heaven forbid that someone ask a question about track on a UL because they would be immediately identified as a newbie as held out for ridicule. And if you think I am exaggerating the above, think about the "all Comps suck", "the comps by List members are the best", " 50% of each cd is lame", comments that the lurkers (and particularly the newbie lurkers) have read. So should we start the Baxter / Denny (excuse me ---- Denny / Baxter) debate now? Or is it time to elect a golden calf?

The subtext vibe I get from of it is "packaging rules, artists are fodder." Yes, this is pretty much the natural condition in the music biz, but Ultra Lounge rubs my nose in it in an especially annoying way. It's more about promoting the "Ultra Lounge" branding than the music itself. But that's just me. Even though I was warned, I bought the Julie London disc from their recent "Artist Collection" series. It was such a great batch of tunes. But the packaging is just... demeaning (again, this is only my subjective reaction). And of course, there's a listing of the whole "Artist Collection releases" along with the blurb, "Collect Them All!" Yes, just buy everything with the mighty Ultra Lounge brand on it! And they never did ANY Les Baxter album reissues. Just an endless death march of cutsie comps. Foo. Sorry, don't mind me, I'm just a crank. It's strange... I've slowly realized that flea & thrift vinyl has ruined me for CDs. I just don't enjoy buying CDs anymore. It actually makes me nauseous. And it's not just the money either (though that helps). I've gotten so used to digging through randomized boxes and placing myself at the whims of the vinyl gods, that when I go into a 'new CD' store I don't know what to do. The concept of looking for something specific has become a bit alien. And then... whenever I look for a specific CD they never have it. So I wind up getting something that's good and safe, but doesn't thrill me with surprise, the way a vinyl find can. And I wind up thinking of the 15 or so LPs I could have gotten for the same money.

The entire experience of looking for, finding, touching, smelling and listening to records is just so much more enjoyable. # 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: Re: (exotica) Comps, Ultra Lounge, ennui Date: 09 May 2000 23:05:55 -0400 On the subject of UL, it was their Leopard Skin Sampler that was one of my first exotica purchases. That and Bar None's Esquivel compilations. Opened the proverbial floodgates...So you have to give them credit to introducing many of us to the genre, and paving the way for many of the other series that surfaced. I've since bought a few more UL compilations - "TV Town" and "The Crime Scene" - both okay, but I don't plan on buying any more. However, you have to give credit to anyone who reissues Mrs. Miller - who else would do that? And how well do you think that one is selling? Aside from anything else they've done, I'm pretty pleased that they did release that one. As for newbies here - the collected knowledge on this list continues to amaze and delight me. And everyone has something they can contribute - just being on this list shows you have an interest in the music. (embarrassing confession - shortly after I joined the list, there was a discussion going on regarding which version of "Mas Que Nada" was being used in a commercial - and I didn't even know what "Mas Que Nada" sounded like! Hard to believe that was only a few short years ago...) Enough ranting for now.

That being said, there are some lame ULs ~~ Cha Cha Cha D'Amor is mostly bad. It seems like the best cuts were what couldn't be fit into Bossa Nova-Ville and the rest filler.

In the liner notes, I've noticed that the cover designs are credited to Tom/Todd Eames ... any relation to Charles and Ray Eames? Hawaiian shirts ... I work in a vintage clothing/antique store and in the spring thru summer we sell tons of vintage Hawaiian shirts. The shirts from the 20s and 30s are a fortune, assuming you can find them. The shirts from the late 40s thru mid 50s are easier to came by and more affordable. Two brands to look for are Ui Makai and Duke of Hollywood. You can always tell the pre-60s vintage hawaiian shirts by the patch pocket ... a pre-60s shirts will have a patch pocket that matches the design of the shirt perfectly. The shirts from the 60s onward have patch pockets that are randomly cut fabric ~~ they don't fit in with the design. ~~ Paul ~~ Get your FREE Email at http://mailcity.lycos.com Get your PERSONALIZED START PAGE at http://my.lycos.com # 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: "Marco \\\"Kallie\\\" Kalnenek" Subject: Re: (exotica) Tipsy......

One of his favorite CDs to listen to is the Tarzan soundtrack (he knows the words to "You'll be in my heart"). One day when I was playing with him in his room I had an urge to listen to some Exotica so I grabbed one of my Martin Denny CDs and played it. My son kind of liked it, so I took it upon myself (as any good Exotica List parent should!) to indoctrinate my son with Exotica. I have found that Riley loves the Breakfast of Champions soundtrack best, most especially because it leads off with Martin Denny's killer version of "Coronation" with the wolf calls in the beginning (Riley's favorite Exotica song) and then into "Quiet Village" which is also a favorite. These days, when I ask Riley what he wants to listen to he sometimes says "Tarzan" but sometimes says "Exotica"! Remember, they're never too young to learn about Exotica music!!!!!

Some are really good. Their Martini Lounge was really good (now out of print) and it led me to discover Combustible Edison. Their RSVP and ON THE ROCKS cd's are currently for sale and have some really good things on them. Incidentally, the MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL soundtrack is good...and that's how I discovered Diana Krall. So although you can have some crummy tracks on compilations, sometimes it can lead you to the "harder stuff".

While bagging some of my favorite covers I have encountered the following problems: 1. Stickers put on by the thrift store that are diffucult to get off. In horror last night a vg+++ Prerez Prado cover (soft unglossy paper) had a sticker right over his mouth. Trying to get it off ripped the cover. Is there something that takes off stickers easy?? 2. Is there something that removes pen marks/magic marker marks that the thrifts put on near mint covers to say that cost 65 cents?? 3. What is best for bringing the gloss back to lp covers?? Many of them down here in swampy New Orleans have a thin veneer of mildew that is hardly noticeable. There also appears to be some sort of film on the covers that is not mildew. I have been fearful of using anything on these covers. 4. A small scratch on the cover. Has any one colored these in? What did you use? Any other advice on other problems I will encounter is welcome.

Stickers put on by the thrift store that are diffucult to get off. Don't try taking them off until you soak it with lighter fluid. It doesn't hurt the paper finish, but dissolves the adhesive enough to wipe it all off. The portion soaked with the fluid will look darker, but once the fluid dries off there is no difference. It is MUCH safer than water, that is for sure (that is, unless you smoke or do it right next to a gas burner!). >2. Is there something that removes pen marks/magic marker marks I have found that sometimes the lighter fluid also helps remove these marks and other grime from the surface. Once you have the sticker off, wipe down the rest of the album (without adding more fluid). This has the advantage of spreading out the fluid so it dries off faster...plus helps remove impurities from the cover...sometimes including markings. However, after that, some CAREFUL dabbling of acetone (nail polish remover) will often get rid of the marker scribblings. This will take off some of the finish of the album if you get too wild, so be very judicious. If the marker really gets into the crevices of the paper, though, I find it impossible to get it all out. Depends on how long the mark was there and the original finish of the album. Those plastic/cellophane covered albums often allow you to wipe the marker stuff right off without damaging the finish. Paper alone, however, the marker ink gets into the paper and you may find it difficult to do a thorough job. I have saved some great album covers from marker mania with acetone. Along with acetone and lighter fluid in my LP repair kit I keep some Elmer's glue (or equivalent). This is to reglue bits of paper threatening to fall off the cover (especially the spine or along the edge). Now I have a question: I have many covers which have split tops, bottoms or spines. I would like the album to stay intact, but am reluctant to tape or bind (after having purchased albums which were secured with electric tape or duct tape or strapping tape or masking tape...yellowing and also hiding the cover). There must be a clear archival tape available...or perhaps some other method to protect and preserve the album without harming it. Any idea on that...or do you simply avoid album with damage?

Please ignore all typos and grammatical errors as I furiously try to remember everything that happened last night. Ok, so heres the deal. Im going through the local paper yesterday, and in the local/regional section, an area that I never look in, I notice that Bob Moog is lecturing and giving a demonstration at the Lyons Indiana elementary school. At first I though it was a different Moog because why would he be in Lyons (pop. 400 or so)? ANd at a Jr. High? SO I took a chance, grabbed my Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music LP and headed one hour southwest with my wife Kelly to Lyons.When I got there, there were about 10 cars in the parking lot and I though to myself that it couldnt be THE Moog, why the hell is he here in the middle of nowhere Indiana but of course I had to see since I had driven an hour to get there and what else is there to do in Lyons at 7 pm on a tuesday? As I entered the school I head for a door that has loud voices coming out and happen upon the local Lyons Elementary PTA meeting. OOPs, down a few more doors, sure enough I walk in and there he is, that unmistakeable grin and white hair. its Bob Moog. Scattered about the room were various synths, a mini-moog, a theremin, a cd player and a slide projector. At that moment, I knew that I was in for something special. The crowd was a strange mix indeed, about 15 or so, of local farmers, a few intellectual looking types, a few kids and me and my wife, strange indeed. Mr Moog began his slide show on a stage that was built to look like a giant castle, complete with moat and drawbridge (I had a feeling this is the room that the drama class met in). His lecture was great, his is truly a man who appreciates history and an advocate of electronic music, he spoke with joy in his voice when he talked about electronic music. He talked about various experimental synths and "electronic" pianos, some success, but most failures like the late 30's Henner synth by Hammond co, the Kuplo Givelay (sp) sythesizer that was exhibited at the 1929 Paris Exhibition,he talked about Percy Grainger and his paper rolls,and mentioned briefly the (I think this is what he called it) Photogen which was a combination keyboard and tape player. On the Photogen each key triggered a tape capstan that played a "sample". This was the gizmo that was to pave the way for the sampler. He also talked about the room filling RCA sound synthesizer, which was, in Moog's opinion, created to cut down on Union musicians. He also talked at length about the Hammond corp and the Hammond organ. He then went on to talk about, and played 2 minute snippets from his cds, about different experimental music composers and engineers that built and played on these pioneering machines. He talked highly of Vladamir Ussachevsky, a tape music pioneer and composer, who was one Moog's first customers. Ussachevsky had Moog custom build a synth and helped develop some of the designs that Moog made famous. He mentioned and played samples from composers like Stockhausen, Otto Luening, Bernard Krause, but he made the biggest fuss about Raymond Scott. He went on and on about what a genius he was and how he was the first musician to use electronic music in advertising (for those of you who have picked up the fantastic 2 cd set of Scott's will know what I mean) Moog then went on to talk about the Moog synth, he showed lots of slides of some of the early Moogs and showed some record jackets that bear his name,Dick Hyman, Larry Taylor, W. Carlos etc. He called 1969 "The Year of the Moog" He also played some small exerpts of some Moog music like pieces from Switched on Bach, Dick Hyman "Give it Up, Or Turn it Loose", Gil Trythall "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" which Moog said is one of his favorites. He also played a little bit of Theremin music from, Music For a Peace Of Mind. He took on questions and answered them to the best of his ability and even played a tape of popular songs with 10 second samples, that use the Moog. I was amazed at the songs that I grew up listening to in the 70's and 80's that use the Moog, then I thought to myself its hard not to flip through the radio and not hear the Moog ( I tried this on the way hom and sure enough, the classic rock station was playing ELP's "What a Lucky Man" complete with long-ass Moog solo) He ended his lecture with a video of Clara Rockmore playing "The Lark" on the Theremin and a live theremin piece by a guy named Vladamir Komorav. I had never hear this before and it was quite a striking piece with samples of Leon Theremin talking over tape loops and theremin. I think it kind of disturbed some of the locals as it was a bit moody. The icing on the cake was Moog playing Amazing Grace on the theremin for the crowd. Afterward I shook his hand (though I felt like kissing it). Asked him to sign my Nonesuch Guide,which he graciously did and replied "oh my goodness" when looking at it, grabbed a catalog and some literature a left. The best 2 hours going in southern Indiana in my opinion. What a strange evening in Lyons Indiana indeed! Oh I forget to mention why he was there in Lyons. He was asked there by the school's music teacher, who is an advocate of experimental electronic music, to lecture and put on small workshops for the kids.Today the lecture is by the guy who invented the electronic trumpet (cant think of his name off hand). The finale is a electronic music competition and "jam" that the jr high kids compete in. Pretty weird, but very cool.

I'm cross posting it to the Pop Nouveau list (which I've just joined) as I really can't figure out which list is the most appropriate forum a both are new recordings but sample so much of interest to the exotica crowd: 1. Various - New Testament of Funk 2000 - Unique Reords - Germany - This one is a top notch compilation following in the "breakbeat" theme. For a change its NOT from the UK so its a bit less expensive. Includes a piece by The Bobby Hughes Experience (also on Fusa Riot) and another likely from the Wilp remixes. What impressed me most is this is the first one I found on my own, but only after careful training from Br. Cleve! There is also a first volume I've ordered which I hope is every bit as good. Highly recommended... 2. Oleg Kostrow - The Great Flashing Tracks from Iwona - Storage Secret Sounds - Germany. This one is a cross between Tipsy/Sukia and Stock, Hausen & Walkman with a little Breakbeat thrown in. Tons of exotica samples and quirky beyond belief! I has a cardboard sleeve and an eye catching cover that certainly worked on me. Comparing to Tipsy or Sukia is the highest compliment I can give a recording so take it for what it's worth! After checking the website link I discovered, to no surprise that there is a connection to the Gagarin Records-Felix Kubin collective.

I don't think fans of the stuff think in terms of titles of tapes - the stuff I've seen is usually a mixture of "hits". Occasionally Bollywood tapes turn up on ebay - IME the sixties and seventies stuff is far better. I had a harder time finding a dealer on the web (except those in India). The best place to look is in little shops in Indian neighborhoods. There is an excellent CD called "Doob Doob A Rama" that has lots of Asha Bhosle on it.

Most of the Indian tapes/CDs (as opposed to British-made comps) tend to be stuff you see once or twice and then never again. Or maybe I just don't hit enough stores. In any case, the tapes are generally about two bucks and the Indian stores (at least in my area) sell CDs at three for $20. They're all pretty cheaply made and don't expect any liner notes but it's certainly inexpensive enough to experiment a little.

I got introduced to "lounge" through comps. even though I always loved it...never could remember who did what song, etc. I am a newbi, but have been a fan of exotica for years, finally stumbled on to this site via the Retro Cocktail Hour. Darrell Brogdon does a great job on his radio show, plus has playlists up, etc. So I finally got to see who did what. I still like comps, but it has led me to find the "good stuff". By the way...anybody a big fan of Bobby Darin...didn't care for his rock and roll stuff....but his pop/lounge stuff is great!

I'd be interested in any comments on these - any worth getting? -Lou (no relationship to Aquarius other than as a satisfied customer) * Aquarius Records --------------- * * 1055 Valencia Street * * San Francisco, CA * * 94110 USA * * aqua@sirius.com * * http://www.aquariusrecordsSF.com * ) ) New Arrivals #91 ( ( ( ( May 10, 2000 ) ) GARLAND, JUDY "Speaks! (Celebrities at Their Worst, Volume 2.5)" (Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God) 2cd 14.98 Volume "2.5" of the series that shows what stars past and present say when the cameras and tape recorders *aren't* supposed to be rolling. This double disc set features just Judy Garland in all her drunken pillpopping glory, much of it purportedly from never-released home recordings she made for her autobiography. "I'm an angry lady: I'm a lady who is angry. I've been insulted, slandered, humiliated -- but still 'America's Sweetheart.' Now I'm rather intelligent, I think, and I'm emotional -- YEAH -- I'm a woman; I'm emotional... I wanted to believe, and I tried my damndest to believe in the rainbow that I tried to get over and I COULDN'T... I've sung, I've entertained, I've pleased your children, I've pleased your wives, I've pleased YOU -- you SONS OF BITCHES! Now you better write it, YOU BETTER PAY FOR IT, OR DON'T LISTEN AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!" HOAHIO "Happy Mail" (Amoebic) cd 15.98 Totally great debut recording by this all-female Japanese electronic avant-pop trio featuring sampler player Sachiko M. (ISO, Ground Zero), koto player Yagi Michiyo (who has a solo disc on Tzadik), and vocalist Haco (After Dinner, Acid Mothers Temple), who also contributes theremin, guitar, tapes, effects, and handclaps. This group also has an upcoming release on Tzadik (May 23rd) which we eagerly await. (This release isn't all that new, but we hadn't stocked it before...) ITO, TEIJI "Meshes: Music for Films and Theater" (What Next Recordings) cd 15.98 Three interesting pieces composed by Teiji Ito, most notably his score for Maya Deren's seminal avant garde film "Meshes of the Afternoon", made in 1943 as a silent film and only graced with sound in 1959 after Deren had met Ito (they later married). I first saw the film ten years ago in school and everyone wanted the music -- thank goodness someone finally put out the soundtrack! Using flute, guitar, cello, Japanese mouth organ, koto, bells, drums, wooden xylophone, didjeridu, Indonesian bronze metallophone, shakers, kazoos, and duck calls, Ito conjures up an extremely evocative sonic world. Also contains his soundtrack to Deren's "The Very Eye of Night" and a theater work called "Savages". None of that trendy soundtrack-to-a-film-that-doesn't-exist-because-I-don't-know-how-to-write-real-s ongs bullshit here -- this is the real thing: soundtrack music that stands ably on its own. JECK, PHILLIP "Vinyl Coda I-III" (Intermedia / Strunz) 2cd 16.98 Why Phillip Jeck isn't as famous as Oval and DJ Spooky is beyond us, as we think his brand of repetitive, crazily evocative warmth is just as good if not better than Oval, and his turntable installations are more interesting than anything Spooky ever (wet)dreamed. For instance, Jeck has subtitled his turntablist experiments "low-fi classics for the electronic generation," working with his orchestra of antique Dansette turntables - an arsenal 180 machines strong!!! With the crackling hiss of records found at flea markets, Jeck's concept for his performances / compositions involve a bottle of glue and a scalpel forcing the record needle into locked grooves at the desired points on the records. Anyway, for the three WONDERFUL "Vinyl Coda" pieces spread across these two cds, Jeck's scratchy vinyl-derived loops fade in and out of percussive polyphony, fractured orchestral majesty, almost industrial / factory grinding, 50's pop vocal snippets, and laughably long applause. It's quiet yet there's SO MUCH going on. And some points it sounds like the quiet parts of a Godspeed or Slint record, gently but urgently loping and hiccupping. Highly recommended! KLOSOWSKI, A.K. & PYROLATOR "Hometaping Is Killing Music" (Captain Trip) cd 18.98 "Pre-sampler plunderphonics" from this German duo, first released on LP in '85 by Ata-Tak and now reissued on cd as a Japanese import. Kurt "Pyrolator" Dahlke played in the amazing Der Plan band of new-wave electro weirdness. This is fun stuff in a similar vein, and you won't believe the '80s Buck Rogers recording studio equipment depicted on the inside. With bonus tracks. STOCK, HAUSEN, & WALKMAN "Organ Transplants 2" (Hot Air) cd 15.98 Stock, Hausen & Walkman's second volume of organ transplants is filled with lots and lots of organs. And we don't mean that in an eviscerated Hermann Nitsch kind of way... well sort of. The Manchester outfit has liberally spiked their lysergic electronica grooves with any form of organ deemed ripe for appropriation. Church pipe organs, Farfisas, hand-crank organs, Hammond organs, and tons more! Like records by fellow plunderphonists People Like Us, "Organ Transplants 2" is full of seemingly obvious musical quotations, tweaked just beyond the point of recognition. Beyond the brain-teasing / tongue-twisting frustration in trying to pinpoint the references (we're damn sure Aavikko pops up at the end of the record), this is wonderful collection of cool weirdness. V/A "Ein Wigwam Steht In Babelsberg" (Cinesounds) cd 14.98 Disturbing and baffling, but pretty amusing collection of music from German "Indianerfilmen" - an entire genre of German films about Native Americans. No, not cowboys and indians, just indians. Yes, there's a lot that's just plain WRONG about this genre - the cover features a buffed out topless German man in Indian drag, replete with long black wig, feather & rifle. The music on this disk, which spans from 1966 to 1978 (must have been a popular genre), ranges from faux-Indian psych-rock (sung in both English and German), country, cabaret, lieder and instrumental scores which, when not actual Morricone covers, sound as though they could accompany a Sergio Leone film. Includes two pages of liner notes in German if you can read it. Supply limited. V/A "OHM: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music: 1948-1980" (Ellipsis Arts) 3xcd 34.00 Following hot on the heels of the Early Modulations compilation from a while back, the Ohm box, takes the same general idea; a brief and cursory overview of the whole of experimental electronic music, and attempts to give it a little more depth. And it does, to a certain degree. But such a massive undertaking could fill 10 cds, or 20. So what we have here, is 3 cds, 42 tracks, from a who's who of electronic muisic in the last 32 years: Clara Rockmore, Oliver Messien, John Cage, Edgard Varese, Stockhausen, La Monte Young, Xenakis, Luc Ferrari, Terry Riley, David Tudor, Morton Subotnick, Steve Reich, Raymond Scott, Brian Eno, Robert Ashley, Bernard Parmegiani and a bunch more. A pretty great assortment, for sure, and definitely the best 20th century/avant electronica primer to come along. The only frustration is that a great number of the pieces are edits, often 5 or 6 minutes from a 20 or 30 minute piece, rendering some slow building gradual shifting works a bit limp. But other than that, the Ohm compilation is pretty excellent, packaged impeccably in a triple digipak, housed in a cool silkscreened transparent slipcase, with a fairly well researched book and some spot on musical choices. Definitely a great place to start. # 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: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: (exotica) Exotica comps/Bobby Darin Date: 10 May 2000 18:44:48 -0700 At 06:37 PM 10-05-00 -0500, Colleen in Texas wrote: >By the way...anybody a big fan of Bobby Darin...didn't care for his rock and roll stuff....but his pop/lounge stuff is great!

Lewis etc. Date: 10 May 2000 23:37:46 -0700 Something Weird Video has been doing a bang-up job recently with DVD releases of HG's films. Haven't had time to fully watch Gore Gore Girls, 2000 Maniacs and the classic Blood Feast in their restored glory, but so far the film transfers are spectacularly lurid and usually have a funny alternate audio commentary track of Herschell talking about the film. Blood Feast has an instructional short tacked on about meat carving starring Harvey Korman(aka Hedley Lamar.) Appears that SWV is reissuing its most popular titles on DVD - upcoming releases include Betty Page shorts(films that is!), two Chesty Morgan movies and Blaze Starr Goes Nudist, which I originally saw from a hill overlooking a drive-in theatre. And you know the music is gonna be great to go with the eye candy.

Yes, after Moog played some of the new Scott CD for us, someone in the crowd was really intrigued about the music and wondered if it was available commercially, and Moog was very happy to show everyone the new CD Set. There was so much more that happened and that was said by MOog that I didnt include in the post. Moog is such a character, I wish that more people would have been there to hear him talk, his lecture was nearly 2 and a half hours long, but alas, it was in Southern Indiana in the middle of a corn field (no joke, the school was in a corn field about 1 mile out of town) I also wish he would have talked more about some of his new items he has out, MoogerFooger etc. -jonny ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # 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: wlt4@mindspring.com Subject: Re: (exotica) H.G.

Jeff Winner here from the Raymond Scott Archives -- I co-produced MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. Moog and Scott were *far more* than simply aware of each other -- they were friends & professional colleges for almost 20 years!! Bob Moog was only about 19 years old when he met Raymond Scott (early/mid-1950s). At this time, Raymond Scott was light-years ahead of Moog -- but his amazing devices were all huge, & electro-mechanical. Later, after integrated circuits were invented, Bob became a circuitry wizkid -- & RS recognized this... >--Moog built some electronics projects for Scott, Moog claims to have been inspired by RS & his machines, & Bob built some modules for Scott's projects... >and Scott was customer #2 for Moog's first synth. Actually, RS designed & built his own synthesizers LONG before Moog built his first synth (mid-1960s). RS officially patented one of his synthesizers in 1956 -- so that's about a decade before the first Moog prototype! In R.Moog's own words: "A lot of the sound producing circuitry of the Clavivox resembles very closely the first analog synthesizer my company made in the mid-'60s. Some of the sounds are not the same sounds that you can get with an analog synthesizer, but they're close." To hear an MP3 clip of R.Scott demonstrating his 1950s synth (during a 1962 lecture) listen here: http://RaymondScott.com/Clavivox.mp3 The keyboard you're apparntly referring to was a *polyphonic* synth designed by RS -- but built for him by Moog in 1963/64. >Scott was really paranoid and secretive, so it may be that Moog just >didn't know how far ahead of his time Scott's electronic music really >was. I suspect it's the Manhattan Research CDs that opened his eyes too! To an extent, yes, I think you're right. Moog knew about RS's hardware before, but I don't think he remembered RS's electronic recordings until I sent him a prerelease copy of MRi. PLEASE: Everyone interested in the Moog-Scott connection, read the story as told in Mr. Robert Moog's OWN WORDS here: http://RaymondScott.com/moog.html ...this is info we (mostly) didn't publish in the MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. book. -Jeff . # 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 McKenna" Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Bob Moog lecture Date: 11 May 2000 07:18:04 PDT >>Moog and Scott definitely were aware of each other--Moog built some >>electronics projects for Scott, and Scott was customer #2 for Moog's >>first synth. But I'd seen some older interviews where Moog kind of >>made Scott sound like an enthusiastic crackpot (e.g. Grand Royal #3, >>page 57). if you go to the big briar / bob moog site there's an article there (i think, it's been a long time) about his association with scott. he kind of hero worshipped him (this is long before the new cd). he built electronic parts for him (with his father) over the years and worked on the first sequencer. sadly for moog this was his own financial downfall, due to an agreement he made with scott he couldn't add a sequencer to his synthesisers, despite being a good 15 years ahead of the game. so it is unsurprising if moog has a certain amount of regret for scott's secretiveness/ outright barking madness as it didn't only hurt scott and his music. let us not forget that scott made some truly awful music to make a quick buck too... wish i'd been there. i can arrange for a school in the middle of a field outside a town that's not really near anywhere in particular and an indifferent audience of bored farmers doing anything to avoid the tedium of home if he likes that kind of vibe. rob ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # 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: "Dick, Alice" Subject: (exotica) RE: UL Debate Date: 11 May 2000 07:49:55 -0700 Am I the only one to admit that I like some of the UL and other comp's out > there?

For background music, where you don't have to keep changing the records to listen to a particular artist, they're a great way to listen to a mixture. I do, however, know what Jack means when he says he hates them. He's a purist and probably likes to put on the original vinyl and listen to a singular artist at a time.

What kind of political, mud-slinging innuendo is that? I have a lot of comps, and I'm real fond of some of them. Thank Tiki there are lots of comps floating around out there to get us started. I'm not an expert, by far, and I don't consider myself ABOVE Ultra Lounge. I don't dislike the music contained on them, and they can indeed be good introductions, especially Mondo Exotica. But I still don't like their attitude, which to me comes across as an ironic smirk, lacking in love for the music. And if feeling that way is supposed to brand me as some sort of elitist, sorry, but I don't agree. And if I'm not allowed to say how I feel... well, gee whiz. Can we have our ball back, Mister? Since "how we got here" seems to have become part of thread... Besides a long-term pattern of eclecticism, the immediate setup was pre-mid-60s rock&roll/surf instrumentals and B(through-Z)-movies and their soundtracks. Which led me to RE/Search's "Incredibly Strange Films" book. And when their first "Incredibly Strange Music" book was announced, that was a natural buy. That book was a real brain bomb for me, transferring my wacked film aesthetic over to music. From there it was into the late grandparents' record stack (not much there), Bar-None's first Esquivel CD and Rhino's "Bachelor's Guide To The Galaxy". The first 3 Ultra Lounge volumes came in somewhere after that, but I just never felt motivated to go further with them. Some other nice comps: RCA's "History Of Space Age Pop" series RE/search's own "Incredibly Strange Music" 1 & 2 (though they are rather thin on annotation) DCC's "Music For A Bachelor's Den" series (nice Exotica volume) Arf-Arf's "Only In America" (the eccentric side of things) Scamp's "Sound Gallery" and "TV Dinner" sets Varese Sarabande's "Sunshine Days" series for soft pop And to backslide a bit to the rock instro thing, there's the jam-packed, 4 volume "Teen Beat" series from Ace Records (no relation, unfortunately). I sent a post with a treatment for mildewed albums yesterday, but it still hasn't turned up. We'll see how this post does.

I usually either want the original album or tracks from different labels. I can't just have one Yma Sumac track, I want the whole "Legend of the Sun Virgin"! I also have the luxury of being in the country where most of this was issued, so take my comments in that light. I also have an innate distrust of major record labels (Yes, I know some great music came out on the majors), but I grew up listening to US 70's radio, which could reeeeally stink given half a chance. Having collected 60's beat/garage stuff over the years, most of the best comps focused on scene or a particular style rather than label (the ___ Scene series , such as the Beat Scene and Mod Scene comps are glaring exceptions to that rule). Oh, well, I have strange tastes in Exotica anyway, but you all know that. Are they good starting points? Yes, but for me, my fave was my first, Space Age Bachelor Pad Music: Mallets in Wonderland. I enjoy every track on that one, save Bob Thompson's. From there I managed to score Riot in Rhythm by Henri Rene some years later.

He then told me about this guy who sells records at the Marin City Flea Market, name of Mickey McGowan, who sells this artist, but is into all sorts of other weird stuff and I should go out there and talk to him. So I did. And I went there every Sunday AM for about, gee, I can't even remember, but a number of years This was a time when I owned another business but this business was a lot more lucrative than my present business and I was netting about $100,000.00 annually I spent at least $1,000.00 a month with Mickey buying just about everything he recommended and from there, I learned.

They all sound like Darin to me. I really like his stuff. I just got a Johnnie Ray CD called "High Drama" and it blew me away. I'm going to be looking for more of his stuff. There is also a great CD by Billy Daniels called "The Touch of Your Lips" that has David Seville-like saxes. (It was arranged by Dave Pell.) I would love to find more stuff by Billy Daniels, but this seems to be the only CD out there. All these guys have passion to spare.

This fact, however did not deter me in my mission to create one. After a few weeks/months of messing around and procrastinating, Ive finally put up my site, The Exotica Review, at: www.bway.net/~er Maybe its a good idea, maybe its a terrible idea. Either way, its up and ready to go. Basically, Im hoping to create a site that would be a sort of central location for information about as many exotica albums as possible. If your paying a buck per album, I suppose you wouldnt need any advance warning as to how good/bad a record will be, but with todays higher prices, I myself would certainly find such a site helpful. Its still pretty spare and embryonic at this point,but I think its a pretty good start. Anyways, I hope you list members take a look.

I, of course, completely relate to all this but.. If I had the money right now, I'd probably buy CD's mostly. It's partly a matter of time and having less of it than before. And it's partly a matter of reaching critical mass on the kind of thing you generally can find at thrift stores and such. Yes there are still discoveries. Right now I'm listening to "Joe Loco plays the Classics" and before that a really nice Anita Kerr Singers record, "Slightly Baroque", both of which I bought at thrift stores yesterday while ostensibly looking for clothes and furniture with my uh... girlfriend. They're both nice records and I guess I can see playing the Anita Kerr again but they don't really ADD anything to my "collection" and I wouldn't mind if they both just vaporized after one play. I've been exiled from the kingdom. And it's not my girlfriend's fault. Even though she doesn't really know what I have and she doesn't really care what I put on as long as it isn't "raucous rock", she keeps saying that she likes me having a big collection of records. She doesn't want me to get rid of stuff and she doesn't mind if I buy more. It's me, not her. I still like all the rituals involved with finding records but right now all I really want is to find new MUSIC every once in a while. I would be happy if once a week or so, some loungey Now Sound poppy gogo groovy CD would just arrive in the mail by subscription or something. If I had the money, I'd try to make such arrangements with someone like Jack or Keith or whoever else has all those cool CD's. I haven't made a tape in a couple of months. I wouldn't mind if most of my records just disappeared but I would still like to be able to hear the good cuts. I wonder if you can rent a CD recorder? I still like hearing about all this stuff though so I'm not going anywhere yet.

I'll third the enthusiasm for Darin's pop/lounge mode. The first UL "Wild Cool and Swingin'" has two of my biggest Darin goosebumpers: "More" and "Hello Dolly." In each case, the bumps owe a lot to the propulsive Richard Wess arrangements, which build to multi-megaton conclusions. # 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: "Peter Risser" Subject: (exotica) Hugo Date: 11 May 2000 20:10:12 -0400 Anyone heard the Good VIbrations album?

The 89 year old, who lived with her husband Fred in their paua house in Bluff, died yesterday. They had been married for 71 years. Tim Shadbolt says the house is a major tourist attraction and the couple always made visitors welcome. He says Mrs Flutey's death is a sad loss and the community's thoughts are with her family. Mr Shadbolt says he'll be visiting the family and meeting with the Bluff Community Board today to discuss some form of civic recognition. for pictures of Myrtle, Fred and the paua house: http://www.nzcountry.co.nz/html/fred_and_myrtle.htm From LA Times: Betty O'Hara, 74, versatile jazz musician, singer and composer who co-founded a women's jazz quintet, The Jazzbirds. O'Hara was considered a pioneer in the male-dominated world of jazz. Born in Earl Park, Ind., she began playing the trumpet at 9. She performed in the Hartford, Conn., symphony and other ensembles before moving to Southern California in 1960 with her husband, bass trombonist Barrett O'Hara. She worked as a studio musician, recording soundtracks for such prime-time television shows as "Hill Street Blues" and "Magnum P.I." By the late 1970s she was a charter member of the big band that became Maiden Voyage. In the early 1980s she formed The Jazzbirds with trumpeter-flugelhornist Stacy Rowles. She could play trumpet, cornet, piccolo-trumpet, fluegelhorn, trombone, valve trombone and a mutant instrument called the double-bell euphonium. Her facility with brass instruments once prompted Times jazz critic Leonard Feather to note that "if it has valves, Betty O'Hara will play it." Feather called her a "gently melodic player" and a singer of personal charm. She was featured at the Monterey Jazz Festival. O'Hara had suffered two strokes since 1998. On April 18 at Sherman Oaks Convalescent Hospital of complications of a stroke. From LA Times Wilbur Brown, 68, tenor saxophonist who worked with Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Hank Crawford and Woody Herman and was known for his colorful, emotional style. A Los Angeles native, Brown began playing saxophone when he was about 8. Bebop entranced him by the time he was in high school. By 15 he was playing with blues and R&B hit makers Joe Liggens and Roy Milton. Although mostly self-taught, he took some lessons from Lloyd Reese, a trombonist who taught such L.A. legends as Dexter Gordon, Charles Mingus and Buddy Collette. After establishing himself in his hometown, he moved to New York in 1962 and stayed for 10 years, playing with many of the best jazz artists, including pianist Red Garland. In recent years he helped lead a quintet at the Cat and Fiddle, a Hollywood club, with altoist Pat Britt. On Sunday in Los Angeles of pancreatic cancer. TV's Peter Gunn has died. Craig Stevens, 81, died Wednesday, 10 May 2000, of cancer at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. He had survived his wife, actress Alexis Smith, by nearly a decade. In recent years, he was the companion of Frances Bergen, widow of Edgar Bergen and mother of Candice Bergen. Stevens was an enjoyable and somewhat more masculine and charming example of the second lead who populated Warner Bros. pictures in the Forties and early Fifties. But his greatest acclaim came with the jazzy "Peter Gunn" series from Blake Edwards in the early Sixties. # 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: "Brian Karasick" Subject: Re: : (exotica) Asha Bhosle Date: 11 May 2000 20:24:38 -0400 Kerry wrote: > Bollywood stuff is kind of hard to classify, I believe. > Occasionally Bollywood tapes turn up on ebay - IME > the sixties and seventies stuff is far better.

I think it's on Motel Records. Not with any Asha Bhosle, but for a real Bollywood experience the best CD I can recommend is the "Dance Raja Dance" comp, one of the David Byrne produced Asia Classics series on Luaka Bop from 1992. I think this is still in print as it's a WB subsidiary? It is all unedited highlights of South Indian Film music by one of the industry's best talents, Vijaya Anand... and with good quality sound, something you rarely find in this genre. I tried unsuccessfully to find some of the films this music came from as they're not all that old, but with 300+ films per year coming out of Bombay, even Blockbuster would have trouble keeping everything in stock!

Quote: "Anyway, here's what I suggest: Lightly and carefully wipe off all of the visible mold spores with a damp rag or paper towel. Then, what we use at work to kill mold is something called Thymol. I don't know where you would be able to get that, but believe it or not Thymol is the main ingredient in Listerine. You could try wetting a rag with a little bit of Listerine and then wipe a SMALL section of a cover and record to make sure no damage is inflicted by any of the other ingredients. It should dry fairly quickly. Then I would suggest leaving the covers (not the vinyl for obvious reasons) in the sun for a bit 'cause that will also kill the mold spores. Not for too long though, keep an eye on them, because the sun could fade the colors on the covers. If you're not into experimenting with the Listerine then I would just try the sun." I've gotten to experiment with this a bit, and it is helpful. I used plain, unflavored Listerine (avoiding any flavoring that might lead to stickiness). I basically followed the outlined procedure. The initial cleanup with a towel dampened with water is very key -- it got a lot of slime and grime off. I'm not sure how much more the Listerine accomplishes, but I imagine it should kill anything that's left. And I didn't notice any problems with coloration or ink-bleeding. With the water OR the Listerine, it is a bit tricky (for me at least) to hit the right balance of 'wet enough' / 'too wet'. Be careful there. It would be a good idea to practice on reject covers first, until you get a feel for it. You don't want the cover to get too damp, or it'll curl or ripple. I put them in the sun between stages, actually, as well as the finishing step. As far as the results, they look a lot better. They still smell a bit, but at least they've gone from "fetid tomb breath" to "cabin in the woods." You can also try this on the inner sleeves, but being thinner paper, the moisture is a LOT more risky. And I can't see a very safe way of getting at the interior of the covers (or inner sleeves). It would be pretty easy to bust the seams poking around in there. Maybe just sit and hold them open to the sun? (just imagine what the neighbors will mutter about you) For the records themselves, I used the time honored 2 parts distilled water / 1 part denatured alcohol recipe, applied with a t-shirt. It pretty effectively removed the brown mold patches, and I would imagine the alcohol would also kill it. It may have left a bit of residue, but that might have been my own ineptitude. So, I hope this is helpful to anyone out there with some really stinky covers.

It worked better for some stickers than others, specifically the stickers they used, and you also ran the risk of putting soot, or worse, burning the actual album. I tell this story, just cuz it's funny. I imagine soaking with lighter fluid would work better. As for markers, I'd worry that whatever would strip a Sharpie scribble would tear up the cover as well.

Real has not offered a stable version of that thing since the version 5.0 player, which was discontinued as an offering in early '96. Its pretty impossible to find sites still offering the old versions for download. I can suggest, quite strongly in fact that you upgrade your OS to at least 8.1, but 8.6 would be better. What happens in trying to use the latest web applications on top of an OS from 3 yrs ago...is that there are going to be lots of bugs and conflicts with other software on your machine.

I'm pretty sure it's one of the few Baxter albums that wasn't recorded as an album, but is just a collection of singles from the mid-1950s. In fact, it's almost like the B-side companion to his mid-50s "Greatest Hits" album on Capitol. Nat mentioned Anita Kerr's "Slightly Baroque," an excellent LP from her years with Warner Brothers. We should take a moment to recognize another choice sample of Stan Cornyn prose from the liner notes: "Shut off that old transistor, mister, Anita's in another world. Purge thy soul of ching-ching-a-ching-ching. Concentrate on taking one lovely musical line and turning it into one classic-all-time-championship-to-ten-doodle.

A must for true vocal "doo-doo-doo" fans. And while I'm thinking of it, a plug for two albums Neal Hefti did in the 50s with--believe it or not--the Ray Charles Singers: "Singing Instrumentals" and "Pardon My Doo-Wah" (gotta love that title). All wordless vocal chorus versions of big band tunes, the latter almost all Hefti's hits for Basie and others. Great stuff.

Yes, its more of HUgos wild ass vocal treatments on this one. If your expecting Moog/Arp weirdness, its not there, but there are some of his trademark Wah-wah-wha-bah bah bah style vocals with whistling and harmonica which I love. theres plenty of wild vocals, fuzz guitars and Hugo-ized song treatments to make it a worthwhile purchase.

Any tips on finding bizarre exotica space moog lps >with >cool music/covers are welcome. What I do is whenever I hear a name of a group or artist that im interested in, I write it down and transfer it over into my bookmarks folder, I have a bookmark folder with subgroups catagorized into artists-like say- Hugo Montenegro or Gershon Kingsley, or a name of a certain record im looking for like "gongs from the east-chico hamilton" or something. I have another folder with sellers that I have either bidded on, or think they might have something good to bid on, because of past items. I also have a folder filled with catch names like "exotica" "moog", "arp" etc. every once in a while I just pile through them all, saves time and energy and I usually bid on a few records. Another good tip if you find a record you like, check out the sellers other auctions, I have found many a LP that way. If you feel real naughty, you can have a folder dedicated to bidders auctions too. Kind of the virtual version of peeking at a stack of records someone has in their cart at the Goodwill (not physically poking through them, just glancing) There are some moral issues here, but alls fair in the world of ebay, at any rate its always interesting to see what fellow exoticats are bidding on. I was recently told by a friend that ebay has turned from a sellers market to a buyers market, in other words, its saturated with records. theres lots of great stuff out there that can be had fairly cheaply, so go gitum tiger. Hope I helped, and watch out for those last second bidders.

I've found some pretty weird and/or promising stuff just by typing in words like "lounge", "weird" "strange" "bizarre", or by typing in names of instruments ("bongos", "moog", etc.). Sometimes people don't know what they have, and they put it in the wrong category. Also, if there's an album you've always been looking for, why not take a stab and type in the name of the album or artist? Believe it or not, I have found stuff this way. And check the Latin and World/International categories - there's some good stuff there. -- Kerry # 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: "Br.

Right now I personally am wowed by lps !! Really much more than cds. I am shocked by the variety of music and the variety of types of music I am unfamiliar with on vinyl! You just don't get the variety for the buck on cd. On cd there are some new genres always coming out like the gone beat music Jack is selling or the breakbeat Br Cleve mentioned on the list. For new soft pop music on cd or lp I find shopping at http://www.roundaboutmusic.com to be much more exciting than retail record stores The new releases bulliten from other music and dusty groove and especially these days, jackdiamond.com are the last exotica/new music "stores" that interest me that sell cds I must rave about posts on this list concerning new releases and the exotica ring cd I received form Keith is astonishing! I find this kinda strange,Nat you always posted about lps and I always posted on cds. Finally, what also impresses me most about lps is the covers. Morton Gould's "Temptation" has the most gorgeous color combinations. I could go on and on about lp covers. The "I Love" series on 10 inch is some of my favorites. I find them to be irressistable. Don't even start me thinking about Nelson Riddle's "Sea of Dreams" cover or the great space cover of "Soundproof" Going into my local tower or virgin is boring for me compared to a local goodwill. Cds compared to lps seems like in the 70s or 80s comparing cassettes to lps. Cassettes were more convient and their sales rocketed. I am also surprised how much better lps sound (if the occasional pop and click does not bother you. Anyway I really have enjoyed all the exotica cds I own but once you have as many as I do, it seems that cds are really not as interesting or varied as lps.

The UL comps may be slickly packaged and 'corporate' but I don't find them to be any more 'ironic' than the Rhino Cocktail Mix cds with their 'cover star' models and the little insert cards detailing Rex and Darlene's adventures. Personally, I like the UL cover designs. I find the tiki with the lampshadeon its head amusing and the cover of Rhapsodesia with the two cigarettes lounging on the matchbook paino rather clever. I also like the 50s/60s magazine artwork that illustrate the interiors. I'll be the first to say that the liner notes frequnetly take on a 'dig this craziness; what where they thinking' tone but they are also pretty informative (and liner notes can become too much of a muchness, anyway), too. I don't think UL pokes fun at the music ... there's plenty of atrocious stuff out there to fill an endless series of comps. Believe it or not, this is nt a personal attack on anyone who intensely dislikes the UL comps (and I'm not saying 'ergo you dislike all comps' either).

Meanwhile a quick info on a couple of the artist pages I mantain on the Internet: -Patrizio Ihle: the license I have for Patrizio Ihle's album will not be renewed, so this artist may disappear forever (or at least from the sites I'm involved with) from the 'net. Nothing bad has happened with me... simply the person who managed him doesn't want to be involved with this kind of stuff anymore and will focus on some well known Italian film music people... and we had a 2-years contract to promote/release this material online. If you want to grab some last free mp3's and/or buy a cd or simply stream Patrizio's album, this might be your last chance (this page and other pages containing Ihle's tracks will disappear in 3 weeks or so). http://www.mp3.com/patrizioihle -Alessandro Alessandroni: this license has been renewed! The El Puro page on mp3.com has been slightly modified recently (I will change some more of the icons accompaining the songs soon); plus I've put online all the pics from "Il Giaguaro" thanks to Alessandro Casella, and have put links to Luxuriamusic's interview). The DAM CD is still available and will remain available; also, all the non-downloadable tracks are now available for free streaming. http://www.mp3.com/alessandroni -More surprise links and MP3's will be announced soon!!! bye, Nicola (Dj Batman) Battista ** Radio Olografix ** ** Una voce aliena nella tua casa ** ** ---> radio.olografix.org <--- ** # 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: Jack Diamond Subject: (exotica) Laser Light Date: 12 May 2000 19:18:41 -0700 Something very interesting that I found a\out about Laser Light is that they released at least "Harry, Cherry and Raquel" on CD That's the only 1 I have It's the Russ Meyer OST to the film of the same name AND it's actually pretty darn OK:) ESPECIALLY for the 6 bucks I paid for it Well worth 6 bucks Jack The bitterness of poor quality and poor service lingers long after the sweetness of the cheap price is forgotten.

Here's what's on it: Mambo Italiano by Rosemary Clooney, Luna Mezzo Mare by Frank Simms, But I Do by Clarence Frogman Henry, On An Evening In Roma by Dean Martin, Violino Tzigano by Achille Togliani, Come Di by Paolo Conte (my personal favorite and worth the price right here), Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody by Louis Prima, which unfortunately is on a LOT of CD compilations (don't tell Jack I said that), Your Picture by Clarence Frogman Henry, Buona Sera by Louis Prima and some incidental music in between that's wonderful also.

The great one's will make you THINK they are raising and lowering pedals Ever see a triple neck steel guitar ?

He was 81.=20 When not chasing down evildoers and dazzling the women who crossed his path, Craig's Peter Gunn spent his time at a jazz club where his girlfriend, Edie (Lola Albright), worked as a singer.=20 The jazz, including the show's theme song, which became a hit on its own, was written by Henry Mancini and was also the basis of two best-selling RCA recordings.=20 Gunn's friend and ally on the police force was Lt. Jacoby, played by Herschel Bernardi, who often lent a helping hand when Gunn bent the rules. The series ran on NBC from September 1958 to September 1960 and then moved to ABC, where it ran for another year.=20 Stevens' name was originally Gail Shikles Jr. He was born in Liberty, Mo., and studied dentistry at the University of Kansas before deciding he wanted to be an actor. He moved to California and worked at the Pasadena Playhouse before signing a contract with Warner Brothers in 1941.=20 It was there that he met his future wife, the actress Alexis Smith. After serving in the Air Force during World War II, he went on to make a score of movies before television came along. His film credits include "The Doughgirls," "God Is My Co-Pilot," "Humoresque" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends."=20 In 1963, with "Peter Gunn" behind him, Stevens made his Broadway debut opposite Janis Paige in "Here's Love," a musical by Meredith Willson based on the film "Miracle on 34th Street." He returned to television the next year, appearing on CBS in the short-lived series "Mr. Broadway," in which he played a zealous publicity agent.=20 In later years he made guest appearances on shows like "Dallas" and "Man of the World." He also appeared in the Blake Edwards movie "S.O.B." in 1981.=20 Smith died in 1993. The couple had no children.=20 ----------------- Beau Yarborough's Comic Wire reports that legendary Batman artist Dick Sprang died Wednesday morning (May 10) in Arizona at the age of 85 after a long illness. Sprang began drawing Batman comics in 1941, with issue 17. The keynotes of Sprang's distinctive style were the almost bizarre perspectives of his layouts and his use of oversized props -- giant typewriters, egg beaters, coffee urns and so forth. Sprang retired from comics in 1963 with the introduction of the "new look," more realistically styled Batman by editor Julius Schwartz. # 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: Bunnycupps@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Le Jaguars...????

The one titled (I think) All Over the Road has some amazing instro versions of Zappa's "Peaches in Regalia", a Steely Dan tune and an old 50s cover "Spanish Moon" that is as gorgeous as "Sleep Walk." Joe is one of the owners of Amoeba Records so you can always find his stuff stocked in the (incredible) country section. He's got a whole sub-section there called Hot Pickers which is just devoted to country guitar instros. Junior Brown also does some amazing instrumentals with incredible almost-Danny-Gatton like technique. Speaking of whom, Danny has one or two cuts on every album that are pure exotica. His guitar instro version of "Quiet Village" is stunning, as his "Melancholy Serenade." # 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: Will Straw Subject: (exotica) LA Date: 13 May 2000 14:13:41 -0400 Hi, folks: Johanne and I just returned from 10 days in LA. We returned to find our front door forced open (but temporarily repaired by the landlady, who noticed the robbery -- it happened the day before we returned --and had already called the police). We ran to check our laptops (which were fine, hidden in dresser drawers), then the CDs. Two shelves worth were gone, including my shelf of prime exotica/soundtracks/ This is the second time in three years I've returned from holiday to find my apartment broken into and CDs missing, but I'm fully insured. It's a pain in the ass, but this is another opportunity to upgrade the collection a little bit. The last time, the insurance company sent me an adjustor who specializes in CD replacement, and who took it all a bit too seriously -- he was thrilled to deal with someone who needed something more interesting than Billy Joel CDs, but wanted to spend a bit too much time suggesting new avenues I might want to explore, taste-wise. I got most of what I wanted last time, and admittedly, a few things (like the Rhino surf box set and Phil Spector box) which I'd never previously owned. But all my Easy Tempo's and French sleaze comps are gone this time, and I'm going to have to push him hard to give me true replacement value. Anyway, LA was the holiday we needed, and my thanks to all of you who suggested things to do. Some of them we were able to follow through on. Others got dropped as time ran out. We were staying in a friend's guest house in Studio City, attached to a house in which Alan Ladd had lived until 1941. We loved the Dresden Room, went to a private party at the Chateau Marnont the first night, checked out Canter's (worse potato latkes I've ever had in my life), went to about 30 thrift stores and generally drove around looking at houses. The Getty was impressive, but kind of Scientology-headquartersish, and we missed Swing Night at the Silent Cinema because we double-booked things. No star-spotting, alas -- not even a stray Quaid or Arquette. One highlight was a two-day trip to Palm Springs, part of my Bob-Hope-stalking tour (got photos of me in front of his Burbank home and the Palm Springs modernist giant mushroom). Found fabulous vinyl in one thrift store there, and we stayed in a nice 1952 Motel (El Rancho), but the geriatric quality of the place (this was off-season, and probably 20 years to late) got creepy after a while.

The new issue of "Il Giaguaro" is ready to entertainment you for the next three months in living color until the next fabulous issue. Here is it again full of news, curiosities, ideas and sounds. We start from the archives of photo journalists with "news" about the past. Vintage interviews are not the only protagonists of this summertime issue. An important one though is an exclusive interview with Maestro Piero Umiliani, composer of some of the most beautiful scores in the vast Italian musical library like "I Soliti Ignoti" and "Sweden Heaven and Hell": the soundtrack that included the most famous Maestro track "Mah N=E0 - Mah N=E0" (of the Benny Hill and Muppet Show fame). Our outside collaborator Michael Pergolani gives us a terrific thrilling interviewing the King of the horrific, Christopher Lee. Along the lines of the cinema is a whimsical interview with Mario Bava with Luigi Cozzi, where in 1971, Bava reveals his genius, tricks and secrets all with witty sarcasm. More music! More Jazz! Il Giaguaro went to visit one of the most important Italian record producers from the Seventies, Aldo Sinesio. In this candid interview he spoke about great Jazz musicians with excerpts involving names like "Max Roach" and "Sun Ra". Italian Design debuts this time with an article about the 21st century=B9= s most imaginative and revolutionary designers of the "Space Age". Mr. ErMan Mansueti and Mr. Luke Cirillo bring us inside of the electronic music with a special guest Mr. Bob Moog in person, he who has changed the course of the contemporary music with his most important invention: the MOOG. "The Gentleman Driver", Elio Pandolfo, talks about his life in the fast lane as a premier Formula One auto racer. Continuing our series on Cult TV is a piece on "The Persuaders". A comprehensive article complete an episode guide, discography and memorabilia for fanatics or those soon to be ones! The "background" music of this particular periodical is composed by Maestro Piero Umiliani with four very danceable, previously unreleased tracks, all supervised by the Maestro himself and digitally re-mastered. Could you ask more from a magazine? Then tell us! Il Giaguaro & Black Cat Rec.

About two months ago, I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Bob Moog for "Il Giaguaro" magazine. I can confirm some of the things of jonathan report about his relationship with Ussachevsky, Raymond Scott and other artists (John Cage, Wendy Carlos, Sun Ra, Perrey, Kingsley and other artist...) but especially his great character and personality! I believe that his determination in to believe in his own work is a good example for who loves THE music. The history of the electronic music passes through the history of Bob Moog!
