From: "Brian Linds" Subject: (exotica) Reel to Reel Date: 31 Oct 2000 23:45:26 -0800 Hi I came across some really cool records the other day. Dave Pike, Baden Powell. Astrid Giberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim( two different copies of Wave), Miles Davis(Sorcerer) and a stack more. It was at a second hand store and they had just been purchased from an estate. Whoever had collected these records kept them emaculate. There were also four Reel to Reel tapes of Wes Montgomery (I think), Gerry Mulligan (I remember a song called Weed) and a really hip looking Quincy Jones. I bought Cal Tjader's Tjader on Fantasy and ran out of cash. I could go back and get the others if there are people out there who collect such things.

I don't know what you're talking about as far as Super CD's go but I know what they apparently mean when they say "copy protected" about standalone CDRecorders. They mean that I can't make digital copies from one machine to the other. They mean that if I'm using two machines with digital ins and outs, these CDR's won't copy. But if I'm making digital copies with one machine, they work. And if I'm making copies with analog in and out, they work. And to be honest, I've never been able to figure out what the difference is. If a digital copy is an exact copy, what difference does it make if the "data" is brought in as analog information or digital information? If you know what I mean...

Audiophile knuckleheads tend to prize them, expecially the Living Stereo/Living Presence ones. I've heard quite a few that a collector friend of mine owns - including Esquivel's "Latin-Esque" - and must admit they sound pretty amazing. But I've heard them on an audiophile system, so that may color my experience.

I had one sales guy say something like 5 years for green, 10 for blue and 100 for gold...and I asked him what about the yellow ones? And he said "yellow? they make yellow?". I think they just want to you to buy the expensive gold ones.

If a laser reads digital information and nothing actually touches anything, how can anything wear out? Does it have a self-destruct chip encoded in it? "It kills itself before it's five"? It's hard to believe that the record companies have been pressing the best quality CD's available and I haven't heard any reports of them wearing out so why should it be so for these ones which are probably more expensive than those?

Which has since been misproven - not that I've had problems with gold ones, but I have had blue and green ones that play just fine - I think it's the software used to make the copies that's making the difference. I don't know why the colour should make a difference to the life of a CD - although I'm far from a technical expert on these things... cheryl > My opinion is that these guys don't know what they are saying.

Well, I have no idea what went wrong, but a Huey Lewis and the News CD I have had since probably 1986 wouldn't play for me in 1999. I put it in every CD player I have and it just wouldn't read it. Visual inspection showed nothing wrong with it. I was stumped. I heard of one classical music CD manufacturer (not a huge label) which announced its pressings had flaws which would cause failures very quickly. I think I remember that they offered to replace the CDs. That is the biggest problem with digital. One little flaw and the whole thing can be ruined. I have played records which were totally cracked, parts of LPs with a huge bite out of them and warped records with a little finagling of the tone arm. But you get rid of the header info on a CD (used a few ones and zeroes after all), it's DEADER than a doornail! Many people initially thought CDs would be good archival media...but the experts for various media outlets were less inclined to surrender their reel to reel storage...probably for the best (not that reel to reel has been all that good...what with the sticky tape syndrome rearing its ugly head). I say, try to keep everything with normal operating temperature and humidity...and safe from dust and contamination. Then enjoy it while you still can...nothing lasts forever, although we can try our best to make it so.

So I think the concern over the factory-produced produced CDs may be misguided (said with fingers crossed).

Maybe this was meant as a joke but possibly some unsuspecting readers might take it for truth when it's not. Indian films run a wide range of genres: family dramas, religious conflicts, gritty crime films, dumb comedies, historicals, stark political films, even a few horror films. I've even seen Indian remakes of "Seven Samurai" (very good) not to mention "Superman" and "Tarzan" (both quite bad). "Indian films" isn't even a good categorization since there are actually a few different industries for different regions, languages and even ethnic categories. Bollywood is not the whole of Indian film. India has also had a strong though not as commercial alternative cinema for decades; Satyajit Ray is the best known but also Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen and Mani Kaul. Meera Nair has been making a reputation in the West recently.

DVD-A is actually one of the most non-standardized "standards" ever dreamed up--it includes options for 5.1 channel surround-sound as well as stereo, using sample rates that go up to an extreme of 192kHz/24 bit. Even different tracks on a single disc can use different rates. . . SACD seems to be more focused on audiophile 2-channel, but with 5.1 an option later on. Players for both SACD and DVD-Audio will probably be backwards-compatible with old-style CDs, whether home-burned or not. As the CD format does not include effective copy-restrictions, any CD-Rs you burn will still be safe (though of course, limited to the old sampling standard). You are correct that both new formats would have some kind of watermarking and copy-limiting technology built into them--which would almost certainly get cracked sometime within the lifespan of the format, but that is another discussion. . . Now I am going to go off on a total rant. These formats are being sold on the basis of purported higher sound quality, plus the option for multichannel sound--which is now more accepted via Home Theater installations than it was back when Quadraphonic bombed in the 70s. However, the idea that either of these formats will provide any significant benefits to us, the music-buying public, is a complete fraud. These players exist solely to serve the interests of the hardware manufacturers and of large music labels. While someone may yet come up with an interesting way to use multichannel audio, I remain deeply skeptical that there is any valid artistic way to use it. We rarely experience live music as coming from 360 degrees around us, and even with a 5.1 system you will still basically be facing the "front" channels--leaving the back channels to provide room ambiance and little else. Now when it comes to the ludicrous bitrates of these new formats, this is where I really feel like going postal. The current standard for CDs (44 kHz sample rate and 16-bit samples) comes rather close to the maximum bitrate which can be justified in terms of human perception. It would have been preferable if the CD standard had been set at 20 bits rather than 16, for slightly greater dynamic range. However the real-world need for dynamic range is limited by the spread between the decibel level of your home's background noise, like your refrigerator humming in the next room, and the decibel level which causes pain to your ears. (Actually, most amplifiers with a reasonable price tag will run out of gas before hitting that sound pressure level.) This volume range is ordinarily well within the 100 dB dynamic range of 16-bit CDs. We are not bats, and our high-frequency hearing tends to drop off pretty severely above 18 kHz (I have tested myself and can scarcely hear anything above 16kHz). Sounds in real music above 10kHz tend not to be pitched, harmonic tones but rather percussive or noisy sounds (which are not necessarily pleasant to hear). So limiting the sample rate to 44 kHz is not in itself a problem. Yes, in the past there may have been some compromises needed to achieve steep cut-off filtering above 20 kHz--but that has been a solved problem for something like 10 years. But let's be generous and say that an ideal sampling rate should be more like 48 kHz, as is used in DAT gear. Thus, if we were to increase the total bitrate by about a third (over the current CD standard), we would have a system which basically leaves nothing to be desired in terms of human auditory perception. Now taking the SACD system, for example, the proposed bitrate is actually more like *four times* that of current CDs. The highest audio bitrate in the DVD-A standard would be 6.5 times the CD standard!. Is there any psychoacoustic justification for this? No. However the marketing department can have a field day, talking about "four times better resolution" and other meaningless specsmanship. Plus, if you believe in conspiracy theories, these new bloated soundfiles will (temporarily, anyway) create inconvenience for those of us who would like to copy, store, and manipulate music on our home computers. Thus control returns (temporarily, anyway) to the corporate players who can afford the expensive, high-bit, copy-management-licenced mastering systems. . . Yes, given the current free-for-all in CD burning and MP3 trading, I'm sure the recording industry *would* love to sell us all our favorite music one more time, in a new copy-restricted format. . . but the claim that they are doing it for the better sound quality is simply a lie. CDs may not be perfect--but they're "perfect enough." And once you've bought the bits, you can do whatever the heck you choose with them. That is a right I think is worth standing up for. whew OK, I'm done now. . . cheers, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Risser Family" Subject: Re: (exotica) Sony SACD Date: 02 Nov 2000 23:26:43 -0500 > If a digital copy is an exact copy, what difference does it make if the > "data" is brought in as analog information or digital information?

It's just that I keep hearing all this weird folklore and misinformation about different CD colors. . . CDs are read by a laser. The laser in audio CD players uses a single wavelength of light which is at the *very very very far red* end of the spectrum--where our eyes are barely sensitive at all. Therefore, the fact that one CD looks light and another looks dark, and one looks gold and another looks blue, DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL. Seriously. You can't tell just by looking how reflective the CD will be to that far-red wavelength of light, because it's a color that your eye doesn't see. See? CDs have a mirrorlike metal coating which bounces the laser beam back into the pickup lens. In a manufactured CD, microscopic bumps are pressed into the plastic, which scatter the laser light at that point, instead of bouncing it back, so you get a drop in brightness there. With CR-Rs, instead of bumps, your CD burner scorches or blisters a dye layer that is in front of the metallic layer--but the effect is the same, a drop in brightness of the reflected beam. Within limits, your player adjusts to the overall brightness of the reflected light, and all that really matters is that there is adequate contrast between the darker bumps or spots and the brighter "lands." If there is, the CD can be played. (When I say "within limits," I mean that eventually you WILL come across some combination of burner, blank and player that just won't work together. In that case somehow the lands ended up too dim, or the pits were too faint, or the contrast was too low for the particular needs of that player.) Now for a CD to "go bad" after a certain amount of time, either the reflective layer would have to stop reflecting light, or else the pits would have to fade away somehow, so that the contrast between light and dark got too feeble. With manufactured music CDs, the pits are a physical feature which are never going to go anywhere. There has been some concern that aluminum reflective backings might oxidize over time, and get kind of milky instead of mirrorlike. That's the theory behind using a gold backing instead, which is more chemically stable. However silver CDs seem to have held up OK over the last 15 years, so who knows. If a manufactured CD suddenly goes bad, it's just as likely that it picked up a scratch in the Table of Contents area near the spindle. Then, the player can't even tell if Track 1 exists or anything. . . so it's unplayable. With CD-Rs, there is definitely a lot of variation between batches of blanks in the chemistry of the dye layer. One type of dyes looks blue to your eye (or green against a gold backing); the other is more pale greenish yellow. High quality blanks can use either technology. The manufacturer also has to make a tradeoff on how dense to make the dye layer: Enough to leave a dark pit, but not so much that it cuts light transmission from the reflective backing. All these formulations have to get re-adjusted as faster burner speeds become available. And so on. Unfortunately, there is just no simplistic way to tell which blanks are the best by looking at them. Now, I'd always assumed that after you've burned a CD, the pits in the dye layer would get carbonized enough that they should stay pretty light-fast after that. (That's the official party line anyway--that a burnt CD should last for decades.) I suppose it is possible that burned pits might fade, if the dye layer was was particularly low quality. But that would have nothing to do with whether the backing was silver or gold. (However that is a reason for sticking with good-quality blanks from companies with a decent track record.) On the other hand, the dye in *unused* blank CDs could go bad eventually--just like other dyes can fade. So you probably want to keep unused blanks in a cool dark place, and try to use them up within a year or two.

Perhaps the audio range of canaries is much greater than humans. A whole new generation of 'Teach Your Canary to Sing' CDs may be arriving soon which will actually allow canaries to reach the full range of their chirpy language, rather than the truncated version that humans have foisted on them. Better yet, perhaps those new enhanced Martin Denny CDs will be result in a much livlier listening experience. Those added frequency range might allow many other animal species to appreciate his music, and they will be so pleased that they will start singing along in your home environment, just as they did for Martin Denny in that Hawaiaan nightclub when the bullfrogs joined in. or maybe the record companies are slowly being taken over by aliens as in 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' with their main mission to ensure there's a readily available of 'extra-range' CDs already on Earth when the invading hourdes with advanced hearing capabilities arrive in full force.

See this page... http://www.mrichter.com/cdr/primer/lifetime.htm I've had suspicions that the rips that I made weren't the same as the original. I did a test today, by taking a track and ripping and burning it ten generations. If you'd like to see what it sounds like, here is a stereo aiff file with one channel being the first generation mono rip, and the other channel being a tenth generation rip: http://www.spumco.com/riptestsegment.aif When I finished ripping and burning, the track ended up being slightly longer than the original. But putting the waveform up in Peak and sliding them back into sync, I can't see a lick of difference. Let me know if you can tell you which channel is which. I won't say until you guess. One thing is clear though. Certain types of CDs have higher error rates with certain types of burners. It seems to vary from brand to brand. I've had a lot of brands give me tons of verification errors when I burn CD ROMs. The brand I've had most luck with on my LaCie 12x burner is Maxell. But there appear to be two types of Maxell disks from different plants. The ones with the solid lines and the granulated surface work better for me than the ones with dotted lines and matte finish surface. Your results may vary though...

Hurtz, whose work ranged from assisting on the 1940 movie classic ``Fantasia'' to supervising TV's ``Rocky and Friends'' and directing Cap'n Crunch cereal commercials, died Oct. 14 of heart failure. He was 81. In 1938, he joined the Walt Disney studios, working as Art Babbitt's assistant on the dance of the Chinese mushrooms in ``Fantasia.'' After World War II, Hurtz joined the fledgling UPA studio where he designed the Academy Award-winning short, ``Gerald McBoing-Boing'' (1951). After being promoted to director, he earned Oscar nominations for ``Man Alive!'' (1952), made for the American Cancer Society, and an adaptation of James Thurber's ``The Unicorn in the Garden'' (1953). Hurtz next moved to Shamus Culhane Productions and directed the animation for three films in Frank Capra's ``Bell Science Series'': ``Hemo the Magnificent'' (1956), ``The Strange Case of the Cosmic Rays'' (1957) and ``The Unchained Goddess'' (1957). He joined Jay Ward Productions in 1959 to supervise the early episodes of ``Rocky and Friends.'' He also directed more than 300 Cap'n Crunch cereal commercials. MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Manolo Munoz, a popular Mexican singer accredited as one of the forefathers of modern rock in Spanish, died Sunday from a stroke, family members said. Munoz, 59, was one of a wave of Mexican singers -- including Enrique Guzman, Angelica Maria, Julissa and Cesar Costa -- who in the 1960s brought U.S. rock and roll cover songs to Mexico and re-released them in Spanish. The singer and film-maker released 80 albums in his 42 years in the business and also made three motion pictures, La Edad de la Violencia (The Age of Violence), Todos Somos Cobardes (We are all Cowards), and Juventud Desnuda, or Naked Youth. In 1985 he was awarded the "Virginia Fabregas" award in recognition of his contribution to the arts. Munoz was born on 14 March, 1941 in the state of Jalisco. The S.F. Chronicle reports the passing of Leo V. Killion, a lawyer and songwriter who died last Tuesday at the age of 92 in Mill Valley, California. His main claim to fame is "The Hut Sut Song", a nonsense ditty which became a hit in 1941, performed by Dinah Shore and the Andrews Sisters among others, and is featured in the film "From Here to Eternity". Mr. Killion got the idea for the song as a spoof of Swedish folksongs he heard growing up in Minnesota. As an attorney, he was one of the first advocates of "no fault" insurance in California, and worked as counsel to the California Legislature in the 1940's. William Martin Bennett, drummer for the fabled 1960s rock 'n' roll band Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs that rode the charts with hits like "Wooly Bully" and "Li'l Red Riding Hood," died Wednesday of a heart attack at his Sykesville home. He was 56. Today's online Mirror (UK) says that John Cleese's mother Muriel died a few hours after her 101st birthday party, in Somerset. No further information. Bea Marcus, the commercial actress perhaps best remembered for uttering the line "I've fallen and I can't get up!" in a TV commercial, died Sept. 18 of natural causes in a Portland, Ore., nursing home. She was 88. A former housewife from Queens, New York, she moved to Los Angeles during the 1970s and took up extra work to keep busy. She eventually had speaking parts in numerous films and TV projects including the commercial for "Life Call," the 24-hour emergency medical response system now called "Lifeline Systems." ROME (AP) - Leonardo Benvenuti, one of Italy's most prolific and respected film writers, died Friday of a heart attack at age 77. He died at Rome's San Giacomo hospital, his longtime writing partner, Piero De Bernardi, said. In a career spanning five decades, Benvenuti wrote at least 200 scripts, most of which were made into films. Bernardi said they were working on a new project the day Benvenuti died. Benvenuti's credits include ``Once Upon a Time in America,'' director Sergio Leone's 1984 epic of gangster life in New York's Lower East Side, and ``Marriage Italian Style,'' a spicy 1964 comedy starring Sophia Loren. He also acted in several movies and had given free scriptwriting classes to cinema students in Rome for the last 20 years. Born in Florence in 1923, Benvenuti joined a theater company right after World War II, where, at the urging of some friends he started to write film scripts. His funeral will be Saturday at Rome's Santa Maria del Popolo Church. He is survived by his wife Cristiana Di Vita and two sons, Roberto and Francesco. # 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: "Arjan Plug" Subject: (exotica) Young at Heart Chorus Date: 04 Nov 2000 16:02:54 +0100 Listened to the Worldservice yesterday and they had a piece on this Massachusetts choir, only eligible if you're 70+ apparently.

First of all let me thank all the guys that have purchased my book "Mondo Exotica". Plastic (www.plastic.it) has started to deliver the copies and soon you'll get it. Now my point: don't you think that we ex punks finally managed to come to terms with the enemy, this being all the music/artists that our parents and grandparents used to listen to? When in "The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle" Sid Vicious executed (by shooting) those middle class penguins while singing "My Way", many of us felt relieved: Sinatra - and through him our moms and dads, the dominating culture - was blown away forever. Yet, after 25 years we started to adore the Rat Pack and all the Space Age pop stuff and many of us instigated the revival. What happened? We simply came to terms with the enemy, turning it upside down and recontextualizing it a way that suits us (think of the Julie London/Louis Prima remixes, think of techno and drum'n'bass appropriating the mambo etc.).

I thought the punk enemy was bombastic stadium cock-rock a la Zeppelin and Frampton; or prog-rock a la Gentle Giant and Yes; or 'introspective' singer-songwriters a la James Taylor; or epic-rock a la Pink Floyd -- we can't forget Johnny Rotten's famous "I Hate" that he jiffy-marked on a 'Dark Side of the Moon' T-shirt, after all.

We simply came to terms with the enemy, turning it upside down >and recontextualizing it a way that suits us Maybe, but a lot of what punks were reacting against, at least musically, weren't "adored", and certainly don't deserve to be. Not all enemies ought to be embraced. I hope I don't have to make friends with James Taylor, Gentle Giant or Peter Frampton. And I hope, in the future, certain enemies will not be re-embraced by pop's avante garde (as if there'll ever be such a thing -- "no future!" indeed): Celine Dion and Moxie Fruvos ought to be enemies for years to come... I hope. it's still just two-cents worth and, incidentally, I don't hate Floyd or Zeppelin. jbrouwer _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Grandparents? I think you've shifted this whole thing a generation or so. It's not a big deal; it doesn't much affect your general theory here. But this feels like some Gen X vs Baby boomer thing. In my mind, if you're an ex punk, that makes you a baby boomer, in which case you don't think of this as your grandparents music. But be that as it may... When in "The Great >Rock'n'Roll Swindle" Sid Vicious executed (by shooting) those middle >class penguins while singing "My Way", many of us felt relieved: Sinatra >- and through him our moms and dads, the dominating culture - was blown >away forever. Hmm. Again, I think we basically agree. But I always thought the Sid Vicious My Way thing was a sendup of punk and of himself, not of Sinatra. Actually I think it's more complicated than that. It's hard to tell what Sid himself thought he was doing there, which is one of the things that always made that whole scene so compelling for me. Then again, I was around 25 at the time. Maybe if I'd been 16, I would have understood more. Yet, after 25 years we started to adore the Rat Pack and >all the Space Age pop stuff and many of us instigated the revival. >What happened? We simply came to terms with the enemy, turning it upside >down and recontextualizing it a way that suits us... If I'm understanding you correctly, you seem to be calling The Rat Pack and all that "the dominating culture". If that's the theory, I don't see it that way. I grew up in the sixties somewhat frustrated by the apparent stranglehold the Rat Pack and their buddies had on the culture. I liked their movies. I liked their devil-may-care attitude. I just hated their music. And I particularly hated how they put down "my" music. But I don't think they were the dominating culture. I think they were always playing catch-up with the Beatles and the rest of the rock culture. They did everything they could to get back on top but it never could happen. Whenever I put on a crooner LP now, I remember Lionel Cohen, one of my schoolmates who tried to tell us that Sinatra and Tony Bennett were actually great singers when we were obsessed with the Doors or whoever. We just felt sorry for Lionel. And no, I don't think in retrospect that Lionel was cool. He was not cool. He never grew his hair long. I don't even think he smoked dope. He liked his parents' music. That was uncool. And thus it could never be the dominating culture. Now as to how "we" started to like this Rat Pack stuff and all the stuff that surrounded it, like exotica and lounge... I think it has to do with finding out that in a lot of cases, the people you thought were cool, were no cooler than the supposedly uncool. Finding out that the records you loved in the sixties were produced and arranged and created by some of the same people behind the records you hated. It's obviously more complicated than that but if you've seen the rock cycles come around enough times, you start to see behind the curtain. And you begin to see that it's almost all manufactured. So the idea of "rock credibility" is brought into question. And then what's good is good, what you like is what you like. And if Tony Bennett is singing a song you love, that's all there is to it. Then there's the fact that there are way more of these records at the thrift stores than anything else except eighties rock.

Well, not really. *Rock* revolted against the Easy Generation way back in the 50s & 60s. In my neighborhood at least, punk was a denial of the Woodstock Generation, classic rock, arena rock, FM AOR playlist fodder, corporate-driven mainstream rock swill of all sorts. The Easy Generation wasn't even in the picture. Our immediate problem was trying to get out from under the likes of Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey, The Eagles, et-blech-cetera, on up to boomer rock deities I won't bother listing. >Yet, after 25 years we started to adore the Rat Pack and >all the Space Age pop stuff and many of us instigated the revival. >What happened?

By the 70s, Rock had a total stranglehold on the acceptable parameters of coolness in music. Punk seemed more like a reaction to rock becoming over-slick. In 1993 when I brought home that first xylophone-crazed Enoch Light album (perhaps it was _Far Away Places_), perhaps there was a little bit of rebellious perversity involved--thinking, "gee our parents' generation certainly had some peculiar ideas about music, didn't they. . . " At the point I got into exotica, I had actually lost both parents (before I had a chance to come to terms with them as people not so different from myself). So there was also this lingering curiosity about that generation, whose artifacts were still all around me, but who somehow seemed to come from a foreign and mysterious time. Perhaps Exotica was "doubly exotic" to me for that reason. As it happened, I had also subconsciously absorbed the melodies to a lot of exotica standards (via decades of Musak and parental-type radio stations), and it became kind of fun to hear the rather startling and unfamiliar versions different artists gave those songs. It was hardly soporific "easy listening," the way the Rock Generation had demonized it. So that's where musically it all ended up being pretty refreshing and fun. . .

Not true in my case. Punk was primarily a way for me to rebel against what I felt at the time to be the stifling constraints of prog rock. This was pretty much epitomized by bands like Yes. Listening to all those 20-minute songs on "Tales From Topographic Oceans" was like a hearing a musical bullshit detector going off in my head. I thought that rock and roll was utterly and completely dead at that point. Punk was also a way for social misfits (like me) to form their own little elitist clique in school and confound hippies (not terribly difficult). I never rebelled against my parent's music. I grew up listening to every kind of style imaginable. I watched Dean Martin and Tom Jones religiously on TV and listened to Sinatra on a daily basis. Even when deep in my punk phase, I still kept British Invasion bands like the Yardbirds, classical music, Johnny Cash, and even The Ray Conniff Singers in heavy rotation on my turntable. Dr. Demento was a constant companion throughout these years as well. > Don't you feel free, at last? I don't believe that I was ever not free. The only reason that I finally abandoned the punk scene was due to the excessive violence that started to take over. When it got so that you couldn't go to a Ramones show without somebody trying to coldcock you while pogoing, I decided that it was time to retire the safety pins. Really, the only parental music that I've "come to terms with" in recent years is opera. I saw several operas while travelling in the Soviet Union as a child and loved them. As a teenager, my mother's incessant playing of scratchy Maria Callas records drove me around the twist. It's only been just in the last couple of years that I've been able to start going to operas again, and I try to stick to dark, murderous, and melancholy Russian ones. -- Matt Marchese mjmarch@charter.net http://reality.sgi.com/mattm_americas/ "Lucky Fruit, the dried corpse is horrible!" -Peacock King *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* # 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: Dj45rpm@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) MONDO EXOTICA-A SPACE AGE POP BOOK FROM ITALY/ADORING THE ENEMY Date: 05 Nov 2000 03:19:48 EST In a message dated 11/4/00 3:56:17 PM Pacific Standard Time, azed@pathcom.com writes: << If I'm understanding you correctly, you seem to be calling The Rat Pack and all that "the dominating culture".

I can say that I lived through a long rebellion phase in my life myself, ranging from hippie drug use, resistance against all "values", radical political activities up to punk, and I definitely had a couple of fights to carry out with my father, but unlike common belief, it was never about the music we listened to. My father used to listen to jazz and I never hated him for that. In fact, when I was in my heavy jazz phase myself in the middle of the 70s my father had the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Donna Summer, Frank Zappa and the Doors in his record collection! He doesn't listen to this anymore, he's got back into jazz and even classical music, and I don't listen to jazz anymore like I used to. So I guess the changes that happened, were not a result of the generation gap or the end of it. I don't know what happened. It's an intersting question and I really enjoy the comments given so far by everybody who posted. I absolutely agree with those statements, that the enemy for punk were arena rock post hippie groups like Yes, Genesis, Caravan and the likes. It was the mountain-high towers of P.A. equipment erected against stupid mass audiences, that turned one down in the late 70s, not even the hippie as a figure. In fact many punks never quit smoking pot or taking LSD, although the culturally correct drug was beer at the time. There was a bit of gender content in the punk revolt, imho, namely this late 70s motherly hippie feminism, that made a lot of boys want to gather in gangs again, instead of sitting at home listening to the complaints and accusations of their girl friends. At that time a decent tom-boyish companion was the choice of the hour, but when it came to pogo even the toughest girls were somewhat swept from the dance floors... :-) it was a great time for many reasons.

But that's what the rat pack generation singers did throughout their entire careers - they chose their favorite songs, usually written by other persons, and recorded their own interpretations of them. They covered Broadway standards in the 50's, Mancini songs in the early 60's, Bacharach songs in the mid 60's .... so they were simply continuing this practise when they decided to do their own versions of hits by the Doors and other rock artists. What was different was that the younger generation tended to think of the rock songs as the exclusive property of the original artist. It's so locked into their minds that the only version of 'Hotel California' is the one recorded by the Eagles... how many re-interpretations of this song have you ever heard by a top artist? When the younger generation saw someone else trying to attempt a cover version of a rock song, their initial interaction was 'Hey, Go back to your own turf ... this is our music!!' Is it really greedy when someone decides to do a cover version of a song written by someone else? What better way to show respect and admiration for a song than by recording another version, knowing that the songwriting/publishing royalties are not going to you, but probably to the original songwriter. One of my favorite Sinatra stories is when he said that George Harrison's 'Something in the Way She Moves' was the greatest love song of the century ... and he honored the song by recording his version of it. Sinatra didn't do this because his career was in a downswing and he was in need of a hit - he recorded it in 1970 when he was still experiencing the glow of his 60's resurgence. Contrast this attitude to the 70's rock era, where the tendency was to record only the songs that you yourself wrote and published, keeping all royalty credits to yourself. From this perspective, the Rat Pack generation can be seen as the 'hip' artists and the younger generation as the ones who were more shallow.

I discovered punk while in college, I believe the same semester when the guys in the next room over played their boombox constantly. For the whole semester they only had two tapes, Michael Jackson's 'Off the Wall' and Huey Lewis's 'Sport' which they played over and over..... For myself, punk was rebelling against whatever cultural elements and attitudes were repeated over and over and over again without any consideration or curiousity that there might be new interesting things beyond the horizon. It was easy for me to bitch about Jackson and Lewis back then, but I suspect I would have been just as frustrated if they played the Dead Kennedys or Joy Divison over and over ...... or if it was Bacharach and Mancini over and over and over.... About the same time I was buying punk LPs, I remember going to a yard sale and buying two of those huge Reader's Digest boxed sets, full of EZ versions of 60's and 70's tunes such as 'A Horse with No Name.' I recorded two full cassettes of my favorite songs, and would listen to these tapes quite often. So although my listening habits were heavily slanted to the louder modern stuff back then, I do have a sense of punk and EZ co-existing then and not being two different entities. The listening ratios may have switched from 95-5 to 5-95, but they have always co-existed. over and out, Vern # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) No Enemies Date: 05 Nov 2000 18:26:57 +0100 itsvern@ibm.net schrieb: > I do have a sense of punk and EZ co-existing then and not being two different > entities. I remember the time around '82 when an increasing interest for latin american music clashed into the current new wave style and made me record cassettes mixed with both those two styles. It was perfect; sounded like Mexican radio or something at that time. I still enjoy these cassettes every once in a while and they give me an intense feeling of that time at the beginning of the 80s, when "everything was possible".

All this big artsy fartsy fuss when he was hip in New York and to see these pretentious rebellious faces he made every time a camera was around. I mean, punk never took itself all too serious, but this was just very sad and poor. The entire idea of destruction and trash became doubtful for me, since I started to make music myself and saw how much more difficult it was to create interesting musical structures instead of just poses of denial. That's when I started to really admire the big composers and arrangers of the 20th century. I don't think this meant that my attitude towards what I saw as the "enemies" of humanity (or so) changed. I think it rather meant I got a different understanding of what humanity meant, i.e. good art for instance.

Interesting perspective vern. And there's lots of truth in what you say. At the time, I wasn't really aware of how many of these tunes they were actually recording since I never came near their records and that wasn't the kind of thing my father would buy. I saw/heard them do these things on TV. And maybe that had something to do with my contempt for it. Invariably when one of these guys - or gals - did a "rock" tune on TV, they'd do some huge production number around them with the June Taylor dancers doing fake go-go and the colours going all "psychedelic" etc etc. It didn't exactly help give their versions credibility. I think the biggest reason I was intolerant for their versions of "my" songs was their obvious intolerance for the music and the musicians. They made jokes about them far past the time when "is that a boy or a girl with all that long hair" was funny. And they were very clear about the fact that they thought the music was bad, the singers were bad, the musicians were bad. And the fact that in a lot of cases they were right, was lost to me at the time. But the truth was that these bad singers and bad musicians could do something they couldn't do. Rock. And the proof was how feeble the guitar solos were when their house bands attempted them. The guitarist on Merv Griffin's show was Herb Ellis. A master guitarist. But when Herb did a rock solo, it sucked. And then there's the fact that even though I still hear people put down Bob Dylan's voice (or Leonard Cohen or you name it...), it's irrelevant that Dylan can't sing as well as Buddy Greco. In that sense, Buddy was also better than Hank Williams but as fond as I am of Buddy's Hank Williams record, there's something a little more authentic about Hank's versions. Geez. My father is dead but there's a part of me that will always be that little kid trying to prove to my father that rock music is worth something. Ironically I was always trying to prove to him that the rock stars DID have good voices in his sense of the word, rather than argue it like I do now. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap - or some such band - would be on Ed Sullivan and I'd call my Dad in and say "Don't you think HE's got a good voice????" "No". And he was right of course. But that's not the point. # 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: "Risser Family" Subject: Re: (exotica) secret agents, heroes & super villains Date: 06 Nov 2000 08:05:30 -0500 > > Charlie's Angels, James West and Artemus Gordon, James Bond, Joe Friday, > > Crockett and Tubbs, Maxwell Smart, Inspector Gadget, Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum > > PI.

I've not >heard too much of it but was curious....... Nate, Glad you enjoyed "Cowboy Bebop". I've been meaning to post something to the list about this CD. A Retro Cocktail Hour listener told me about it, and the music by Toru Kanno and the Seatbelts really knocked me out! It's mostly what I'd call private eye jazz- type stuff, with blazing bongos and a hard-swinging big band. Great stuff! Since playing it this week, I've already been contacted by several "Cowboy Bebop" fans. There are apparently four CDs drawn from the series. I've spot listened to all of them, and the first is the best, in my opinion. Don't know a damn thing about anime, but I loved this soundtrack! Another movie theme in a similar vein is from an '80s movie called "T.A.G.: The Assassination Game". The main theme is a swinging, edgy spy-private eye thing by Craig Safan. I'll sit through the movie just to hear the music! No soundtrack CD that I know of, unfortunately.

When the First Nuggets lp was released in 1972 they used the term (for the first time) "PUNK" to describe what is now called 1960s garage rock. They also called the Sun Sessions & rockabilly proto punk. Back in the 1950s and 1960s there were tons of independent record labels releasing "sincere" un-commercialized bands. Surf bands in California and the Midwest, frat bands most everywhere else. Local bands popular in their own towns, states or even a few states. Worldwide this phenomenon was going on even in Japan. This music was bubbling and ready to explode and did finally in 1965/1966. This punk attitude was stomped upon (in the US) by radio stations that quit playing local artists and a variety of music. From 1969 through the 1970s pop music radio generally sucked. There is just no keeping down the non-commercial, independent raw "punk" attitude in rock and roll so it was inevitable that Punk Rock would rise up in the late 70s. Punk as m.ace stated was a revolt against the classic rock that came to being in 1968 or so. It was also a revolt against the commercialization of music. It was about attitude. However as the Nuggets liner notes pointed out "Punk rock seemed one dimensional". This attitude though continued onto the indie pop scene of the early 1980s in England where vinyl 7 inch records ruled once again. This independent attitude also gave rise to the anger felt by many Nirvana fans when Nirvana let their second album get overly "Produced" Exotica was never the enemy of punk attitudes. In fact you can look at it and see most exotica died around 1970, the same time rock and roll died and ROCK became king. Its natural for punks to embrace exotica. It never seemed pompous like 1970s arena rock. It always seemed to bubble under the top 100 as a kind of underground music not embraced by the rock establishment. The attitude of exotica performers from easy listening to moog to Exotica with a capital E seems less pompous then 70s rock. Some of the attitudes seem downright sincere. What were Baxter/Ravel/Hoffman up to on "Music For Piece of Mind" or Baxter on his Exotica albums, or Denny even on his 3rd or 4th album, "Hypnotique" The same balls to the wall attitude comes out when Rat Pack singers cover "Light My Fire". Did they really expect their remake would soar up the charts or did they just "know" they could do it.... better. This ballsy attitude seems more akin to the attitude of Sun Records, Dick Dale, The Trashmen, The Seeds, The Music Machine The Clash The Sex Pistols and vinyl 7 inch indie pop freaks of today!

I got his Book on the 1001 greatest rock and roll songs and I'm still frustrated every time I think about how he put Louie Louie at number 11! Punk-Rock sounds like a Lester Bangs term, but he claims to have coined "Heavy Metal" I recommend his book Psychotic Reactions. Both Marsh and Bangs suggested songs for the original Nuggets lp. The liner notes in this claim to have influenced the Ramones, Dolls and many late 70's punk bands who all owned copies. I thought Bangs was done well in Hi-Fidelity. Also in that movie Peter Frampton seemed to be THE ENEMY. I laughed out loud when the girl sang that Frampton song and they all said: "I never thought I'd like a Peter Frampton song" Thanks Chuck --- wlt4@mindspring.com wrote: > 1971 D.

Stillwater are the mythical band in the movie Almost Perfect. All the reviews and the writer say this is a mythical band. Well allmusic guide also lists them. In a sense they are mythical because I think the real Stillwater band did not exist until the mid late 1970s. Anyway the flip side of this album has a picture of the band and their road manager. And its just like the band in the movie, where their road manager played such a major part of their career. The music on this lp sounds exactly like the same kind of music they Movie Stillwater band played. Allman brother southern rock jam. They even jam a long time on one of the cuts. This movie was great for capturing the feel of the 1970s, I especially enjoyed the Lester Bangs portrayal.

Having spent some time as the music critic for my high-school newspaper back in '75-76, I could certainly relate to the Cameron Crowe-like character (except for the part about getting paid $1000s of buck to write articles). And yes, the look of the Seventies was there, but having met a fair number of "band-aids" in my time, I'd have to say that they generally weren't a) coherent b) philosophers c) conscious. The mysogynistic attitudes towards women displayed by the various band members were pretty authentic based on what I remember. I loved the Lester Bangs character as well, but several of his contemporaries have written articles after the film came out claiming that the portrayal wasn't accurate. Lester had a serious drinking problem and this didn't come out in the film. So all in all, it seemed like the Seventies viewed through a particularly strong pair of rose-colored prescription glasses. -- Matt Marchese mjmarch@charter.net http://reality.sgi.com/mattm_americas/ "Lucky Fruit, the dried corpse is horrible!" -Peacock King *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* # 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: Ross Orr Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Gold!

As far as I have ever heard or seen (and via the ExoticaRing I've looked at a pretty wide range of CD-R brands), there are two kinds of metallic backings, silver vs. gold; and basically two different dye colors, blue vs. pale greenish yellow (with some variation between brands in how dark it looks). When you have the blue dye against a gold backing it appears more green. So I think the "green" ones and the "blue" ones use the same kind of dye, unless I don't understand what you're referring to. I would be interested if someone had showed that the pale dye was more permanent than the blue dye--but I have never seen any definitive word about this. We make an assumption that the silver backings are aluminum (which might oxidize some day), and that the gold-colored backings are actually gold (which would be more stable). But again, at this time I think we have to admit that none of those assumptions are proven. cheers, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Ledebur Subject: (exotica) The Conet Project Date: 06 Nov 2000 20:17:47 -0500 As I think someone pointed out here a couple of weeks ago, this interesting box set has finally been reissued. I picked up a copy for myself and noticed a couple of things worth mentioning. First, one of the numbers stations documented in the booklet (alas, no known recording exists) is cataloged as "G10 - Bert Kaempfert." A typical broadcast is described thusly: "'Wunderland bei Nacht' by Bert Kaempfert (actually played twice) followed by the other side of the same record, 'Dreaming the Blues' also by Bert Kaempfert (1961 recordings) - also repeated. Message sometimes followed, but rarely." Second, about a year ago, when this set was under discussion along with The Ghost Orchid album, someone attibuted the sample in Stereolab's "Pause" to The Ghost Orchid. In fact, the sample is taken from the very first track on the first CD of The Conet Project, "The Swedish Rhapsody." I've spotted other numbers station samples in songs on recent releases by J Church and Cinerama.

Fun for the whole family! Originally created between 1958 & 1971, these recordings, in their entirety, (writing, art work, sound effects, music, voices, taping) were the feverish GENIUS work of two young men, Jim Copp & Ed Brown.

I guess this one features all the tracks from the "Psycho Serenade" LP, plus half of the tracks from the "Wavy Gravy - Four Hairy Policemen" LP. * SOUNDTRACK: "Star Maidens. The Girls From Space" (TV series original soundtrack) by Berry Lipman o CD, Volcano CPCB 5105, Japan, 2000? o comment: + Johan: 4 To me, he sounds like a mix between Peter Thomas, and (an instrumental version of) the Sparks or Blondy in her disco period. The overall sound is funky, with some nice synth and glockenspiel accents here and there. For a Japanese release, you get a lot of tracks: 28! One of these is a bonus track, another is a dance "radio remix" of the title theme by Ali N. Askin, and the last one is an original composition by this same "Ali". I quite liked all tracks, but definitely missed that spark of brilliance, genius, that Peter Thomas and Gert Wilden do have, but Lipman doesn't. So, very good, but worth the high import price? Nah, I don't think so. According to Dusty Groove: there's also a German release, but I couldn't find it. + Mr. Unlucky: Barry Lipman is odd. He's done a lot of arranging for pop stars. From what I've heard, both the Star Maidens soundtrack and his track on Strassenfeger, he's kind of in between Peter Thomas and Gert Wilden (for ease of reference.) While I like Star Maidens, I'd say in reference to the aforementioned composers, there are other albums I'd reach for more often. You might really like it though. I don't know what his other stuff is like though. I have a feeling there's a huge stylistic spread with him. If you want, I wrote a review of Star Maidens, maybe that will help you more: www.supersphere.com/ - October 29: new, year 2000 releases, announcements & corrections - * Accordion Beatles: "Out Of The Caverns" o CD, Hammertone Music Industries Label, Limited hand-made edition Only 200 copies available, USA, 2000 o comment: + Johan: An Instrumental Album Featuring 10 Beatles Songs plus 2 Original Songs.

You can order it on www.digelius.com/. * Ed Lincoln: "Orgao e Piano Eletrico" o LP, Musidisc?, Brazil?, 2000 o comment: + G.R.Reader: A new (well, a new re-release of) Ed Lincoln LP, 'Orgao e Piano Eletrico' turned up from Dusty Groove yesterday. For those that don't know, Ed was the 'other' great Brasilian Samba organist, alongside Walter Wanderley. Dusty Groove reckon the LP was originally from the early 70's. There are a couple of tracks that are straight Ed Lincoln, with the trademark odd arrangements, stopping, starting, whistling and sound effects, but for a lot of it, he seems to be branching out into other musical styles. Instrumentally the lineup is again, organ, trumpet, (pedal?) bass, drums and some guitar (as on the 'Ed Lincoln' LP), but there is a lot more of a funk feel to the thing, riffing brass, and a heavier rhythm section. Dusty Groove make a deal out of a break on one of the tracks, but its only about a bar long, and a fairly standard funky drummer break at that. There is a lot of what sounds like Wah-wah organ, and some of the vocal tracks are distorted and effected quite heavily. A couple of ballads, a fairly lightweight batacuda, and a track that veers between the British 60's psyche-pop group Nirvana and samba. Some of the tracks were co-written by Orlandivo, and i know that Ed Lincoln worked with him (her?) at some stage, so there a chance that some of the vocals are Orlandivo's. Probably copied from an old record, judging by Dusty Groove's comments and the sleeve quality (with all that that entails) but given how expensive and hard to find outside South America his records are, its nice to see. I just love organ records. I'll have sleeve pictures and a review up on my Ed Lincoln site in a couple of days. * Lollipoptrain: "Juniorelectricmagazine" o CD/LP, Siesta, Spain, 2000 * Tony Mottola: "(unknown, Xmas compilation)" o CD, SPJ, ?, 2000 o comment: + Robbie Baldock: a Xmas compilation of his Project 3 recordings is coming out mid-price on the label.

The music is a dance-oriented, but not overly so - fun to listen to, and fun to dance to (I have a hard time sitting still while listening to it!). And, as if it wasn't good enough on its own, it even has a track, "Zweite Moeglichkeit", featuring Peter Thomas ... The music is not technoid hard beats at all - it just makes you want to get up and dance. Stereo de Luxe's music (taken from their promo literature) is described as combining "massive big beats, wild 60s samples, basslines far in excess of the regular speed limit, bongo-mania and inspired sound bites taken from cult trash movies into a unique mondo sound." And that is a pretty accurate description. I highly recommend it. * World Standard: "Le Train Musical" o Double CD, Polystar, Japan, 2000 * Various Artists: "Bossa Nova.

The overall sound is funky, with some nice synth and glockenspiel accents here and there. For a Japanese release, you get a lot of tracks: 28! One of these is a bonus track, another is a dance "radio remix" of the title theme by Ali N. Askin, and the last one is an original composition by this same "Ali". I quite liked all tracks, but definitely missed that spark of brilliance, genius, that Peter Thomas and Gert Wilden do have, but Lipman doesn't. So, very good, but worth the high import price? Nah, I don't think so. According to Dusty Groove: there's also a German release, but I couldn't find it. + Mr. Unlucky: Barry Lipman is odd. He's done a lot of arranging for pop stars. From what I've heard, both the Star Maidens soundtrack and his track on Strassenfeger, he's kind of in between Peter Thomas and Gert Wilden (for ease of reference.) While I like Star Maidens, I'd say in reference to the aforementioned composers, there are other albums I'd reach for more often. You might really like it though. I don't know what his other stuff is like though. I have a feeling there's a huge stylistic spread with him.

When the First
Nuggets lp was released in 1972 they used the term (for the first
time) "PUNK" to describe what is now called 1960s garage rock.
They also called the Sun Sessions & rockabilly proto punk.
OED's first usage is:

1971 D. MARSH in Creem May 43/3 He's [sc. Rudi Martinez is] doing the knee-drop, and the splits and
every other James Brown move. He's the only one in punk-rock who's still got 'em and he's makin' a
comeback.


Really? Didn't know. Are these comps still available?

I was asking myself the same question. Alexander from Radio Karthoum just sent me his fine new 80 mm CDs, the Hepburns and a compilation, which fit into the same category. "Harmony Pop" seems to be a fairly good term, although Pop would insinuate, that this music is somewhat very successful and in the charts, which it isn't. I used to call such music "Melody Rock", but I heard, this it is used in a different context. When I asked, Alexander was surprised that I didn't consider his music Exotica; to him Exotica had a much wider meaning. The Pearlfishers are on Marina and so the Exotica context is not that far. In Germany this music would most likely be filed under "Indie", a term that isn't used anywhere else, as far as I know. I think, stuff like the Pearlfishers and High Llamas have a good home on the Pop Nouveau list. These bands sort of prove the connection between Punk/Wave and Easy Listening. Just look at the history of the british band XTC and you know what I mean.

Some other good anime movies/series with good music include Ranma 1/2, Kimagure Orange Road, Perfect Blue, & Neon Genesis Evangelion (which features "Fly Me To The Moon" in its ending credits) though if you're expecting jazzy soundtracks Cowboy Bebop stylee you might be disappointed. The Anime Turnpike would probably be a good place to sample what's out there: http://www.anipike.com/music.html You can also check out some of the other links on the site for more sound samples. The only downside is that most anime soundtracks (with a few exceptions such as Ranma) are mainly available as Japanese imports, at Japanese import prices. If you live near a Chinatown though, you might be able to find cheaper knockoff "SM" versions. (There's a Best of Anime CD put out by Rhino that's not bad - the original version of the Gigantor theme! Yay! - but it's probably not the best place to start) -DavidH In a message dated 11/6/00 5:38:05 AM Pacific Standard Time, nminer@jhmi.edu writes: << Darrell: Cowboy Bebop on Retro Cocktail Hour?

I dont know what they were smokin' over there in France. Its like martin denny thrown into a blender, complete with hilarious, and obviously fake, birdcalls, screaming voices and quacking duck sounds. Pure comedy.

He was 56.=20 The cause was lung and bone cancer, said his wife, Ellie Hiteshew Grennan. The one-drop rhythm is a sparse, unhurried beat with a bass-drum accent =97 the one drop =97 on the third beat. Understated, distinctive and supremely adaptable, it has made its way into music around the world.=20 Working with recording-studio bands in Jamaica, Mr. Grennan perfected the one-drop beat, and he appeared on important recordings, including the soundtrack to the 1973 film "The Harder They Come," early Bob Marley singles and Paul Simon's reggae-style hit "Mother and Child Reunion."=20 Mr. Grennan started playing homemade drums and pots and pans as a child. As a teenager he recorded and performed as a singer under the name Winston Richards; he also played keyboards with Bobby Aitken and the Caribbeats.=20 He had a string of 30 undefeated bouts as a boxer in the early 1960's, and used some of the prize money to buy a full-fledged drum kit. As his reputation spread, he became a session drummer in Jamaica's leading recording studios.=20 Mr. Grennan notched down the speed of rock steady with the one- drop rhythm, which became established as the core of reggae, and he was an influence on leading reggae drummers, including Carlton Barrett of the Wailers and Sly Dunbar.=20 Working with leading Jamaican producers like Bunny Lee, Winston Riley, Prince Buster, Leslie Kong, Byron Lee, Lee Perry and Coxsone Dodd, he recorded hundreds of songs from 1963 to 1973 at a time when Jamaican ska was giving way to the leaner, more steadfast rhythms of rock steady and reggae. His extensive recordings with Toots and the Maytals included the 1973 album "Funky Kingston" and the 1968 single "Do the Reggay," the first song to have the word that would later be spelled "reggae" in its title. He also recorded with the Bob Marley, the Melodians, the Heptones, Desmond Dekker and dozens of other singers and groups. He appeared in "The Harder They Come."=20 In the early 1970's Mr. Grennan performed with Dizzy Gillespie at the National Arena in Kingston and appeared on Paul Simon's 1972 solo album, "Paul Simon." He left Jamaica in 1973 for the United States, hoping to play jazz and broaden his music; Mr. Gillespie hired him soon after he arrived. Mr. Grennan lived in New York City, Florida and New Jersey before settling in Woodstock, N.Y., in the early 1980's.=20 In the United States, Mr. Grennan led his own groups playing jazz and reggae, and he continued to work as a sideman. He was a founding member of Kid Creole and the Coconuts, and he played jazz, reggae and rhythm-and-blues with musicians, among them Marvin Gaye, Herbie Hancock, Garland Jeffreys, Freddie Hubbard, Minnie Riperton and Eric Gale. He performed with Mr. Gillespie at the Montreux Jazz Festival and backed up Toots and the Maytals on the album "Skafather," which was nominated for a 1998 Grammy. The government of Jamaica awarded him a Certificate of Appreciation for his contribution to the development of popular music. Mr. Grennan released his fifth album, "Clean Slate," with his Ska Rocks band in March. In addition to his wife, he is survived by 11 children Winston Grennan; Innovative Jamaican Drummer, Songwriter (LA Times) Winston Grennan, 56, an innovative drummer known as the inventor of the "one-drop" reggae rhythm and an original member of the influential group Toots and the Maytals. Born in Jamaica to a musical family--his mother, grandfather, grandmother and many uncles played in local bands--Grennan started playing homemade drums as a child. After a brief and successful career as a professional boxer, he turned to music and became a popular session drummer for Studio One, Treasure Isle and Island Records in Jamaica. Grennan played for hundreds of classic reggae hits by such artists as Bob Marley ("Rock My Boat," "Satisfy My Soul," "Concrete Jungle"), Jimmy Cliff ("Many Rivers to Cross," "The Harder They Come") and Carl Dawkins ("Baby I Love You"). Grennan was a prolific composer, and his "Savior" was featured on the soundtrack of the film "9 1/2 Weeks." He also performed with pop and jazz artists such as Paul Simon, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones. Since the late 1980s, he had performed with his Ska Rocks Band, playing American popular music combined with Caribbean rhythms. The "one-drop" rhythm, as described in the New York Times obituary on Grennan, "is a sparse, unhurried beat with a bass-drum accent--the one drop--on the third beat." On Oct. 27 in Nantucket, Mass., of cancer.=20 ---- L. Sprague de Camp, one of the last surviving science fiction writers from the "golden age of science fiction," has died just shy of his 93rd birthday. He wrote Lest Darkness Falls and a number of Conan books.=20 # 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: Pearmania@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Re: Quincy and Isaac Date: 08 Nov 2000 06:11:56 EST In a message dated 11/8/00 12:18:03 AM US Eastern Standard Time, peter.gingerich@wcom.com writes: << Quincy Jones, "The Lost Man" soundtrack, Universal Isaac Hayes, "(Three) Tough Guys" soundtrack, Stax (1974) >> I have both of these. I love The Lost Man, especially the main theme. It's not what I'd call typical Blaxploitation because the pace is a little slower, but it has a few soul tracks -- a great combination of rhythm and eerie incidental music -- a bit like Quincy Jones' soundtrack to In the Heat of the Night. The "eerie" aspect is accomplished with bass drums, strings, Hammond organs, and what sounds like glissandos on the piano strings. Tough Guys is good, too. It's livelier than Shaft which I always felt was overrated (because it had the hit on it). This is definitely a blaxploitation record. Funky, but it doesn't get too drawn out and repetitive like Shaft seems to do. I had the record, but went and bought the Tough Guys/Truck Turner double CD since I didn't have Truck Turner. The sound quality on the Tough Guys soundtrack is much better on the CD. I think the original mastering to vinyl was not done well.

Another perfect example of the tremendous amount of great stuff that goes untouched on ebay and other online auctions. So to all of you you think it's all so competitive and you will overpay, think again :) People either don't know, don't care, I dunno, I can't figure it out. This is a great Quincy Jones score from 1965 that Jack often played on his show, that's how I found out about it. One of my favorite actors, Sidney Poitier (speaking of The Lost Man) stars as Alan Nuell, a student volunteer at a medical clinic in Seattle who answers the phone to find Inge Dyson (Anne Bancroft) on the other end. Inge, depressed about her life, has just taken an overdose of sleeping pills. With Inge slowly dying, Alan tries to keep her talking on the phone while the police try to trace the call and save her life. So, you can imagine, the score is taunt and gripping.

Hmmm. I guess I like my soundtracks a bit more bombastic or at least with a couple of cuts you can chew on. I found Lost Man a bit too subtle for my taste and I still find "In the Heat..." that way. Everytime I make a soundtrack compilation, I go back to that record looking to squeeze something out and still no luck. Speaking of which, for some reason I kept ignoring this one totally amazing cut by Gene Page on the Brewster McCloud soundtrack and then I was getting desperate to fill a bit of space on this compilation and discovered it. How did I ignore "Two in the Bush"??? anyway...

Okay I'll admit that for a split second I was thinking "Charlie Parker made a soundtrack???" and then it hit me. "This is Brian Philips. It's gotta be a very corny joke".

I found a Les Baxter guitar album, Nat King Cole en espańol, Walter Wanderley's Batucada, a Rita Lee album (don't remember the name but she appears very pregnant in the back cover)... I also noticed that there were lots of LPs made by different firms as (probably) Christmas presents. There were some from a tire factory, others from a farmaceutical company, others from airlines, other from a glass factory... I guess it was because at the time Lps here were quite expensive, so they made good (and cheap) institutional presents. I was wondering, did this (the institutional Lps)happen everywhere else in the world? Some of them have really nice covers (nice as in the Boring Postals kind of nice) and the music in them is quite ecclecitc. There was a double Lp from a Renault dealership, for instance, that had a different genre in every side. One was classical the other was ballads, the other was tropical-dance music and the other one I don't remember. Probably rock. So did this happen elsewhere?

Have to say one of the few times I felt proud to be a Canadian was seeing these guys at just about the coolest musical venue I've ever attended and in the heart of former East Berlin yet! Have to agree with Moritz about live recordings never living up to the real thing though. I got a video of a Schmaltzwald event and it paled in comparison to the real visit. Still the "Schlager" single these guys put out is well worth seeking out. Having the term pagan in the title would surely peak my interest so I may have to find myself a copy of this latest production. Alan, do you think I could find a copy here?

It was revolutionary at the time. Looking back at music 4 or 5 years old. Nuggets set the standard for Pebbles and the 100's of releases that were to follow. There was suppose to be a Nuggets 2. It never came out. Then Rhino released Nuggets cds in the 1980s. Finally Rhino did the Nuggets Box set. They really did a first class job. All of the original Nuggets are on here plus tons of popular hits and bubbling under the top 100 local hits. If you like this music, the four CDs in the Nuggets Box are the definitive collection. This is my favorite Box Set. Easy listening in the Big Easy --- Brian Karasick wrote: > I'm sure I've seen these things either as vinyl or CD somewhere > recently.

They did this around the same ime they were releasing all those best of LPs: Chocolate Watchband, Seeds, etc). I have several of these in addition to the original, all produced by Lenny Kaye. I am especially happy with the "Punk" collection as it includes garagey tracks not on the original release. --- chuck wrote: > The original Nuggets lp was released in 1972.

Anyway, we all know and love the Italian label Right Tempo, for re-releasing tons of obscure Italian lounge and soundtrack music, either on their wonderful "Easy tempo" compilation series, or as full soundtrack re-issues that always come with unreleased bonus tracks and packed in some of the most beautiful record cover designs I've seen in several years. Right Tempo also has this "Temposphere" division devoted to new recordings, by artists of today, like The Transistors, who make some groovy CYBERSPACE AGE POP, a bit like Tipsy (especially on track A2), the main difference being that The Transistors seem to use far less samples. This maxi contains just 3 instrumental tracks: "Mission On Venus" kicks of as an energetic "running spy" theme, driven by Hammond and vibes, with some nice 'n' cool scatting by Miss Ari. The second piece, "Cocktail di Neve in Oro" is again very spy-like, though the rhythm is slower, and Kettledrums give it an extra exotic and slightly subdued nervous touch; our imaginary spy sounds like he wants to relax, and have this refreshing cocktail with that sexy blonde, but fears the drink might explode in his face any second. Turn over the record, for a Gak Sato remix that gives "Mission On Venus" even more drive and jazzy action, by adding several samples -- the only one I recognised was a fragment from the The Markko Polo Adventurers' "Orienta" LP. Let's hope we won't have to wait too long for a full album follow-up! TRACKS: A1. Mission On Venus (4:45) A2. Cocktail di Neve in Oro (5:21) B1.

DAGORED (ITALY): MORRICONE, ENNIO: Slalom O.S.T. CD (RED 118 CD). "The complete soundtrack recording (first time ever as a singular release) for this 1965 cult Italian spy movie starring Vittorio Gassman. Super suave film score with the classic main title surf-spy-ski theme song plus Arabian parlor music/hippy bongo suspense/orchestral moods/cocktail blues/roller rink electric guitar/odd vocal chorus film melodics and more..." $15.00 MORRICONE, ENNIO: Slalom O.S.T. LP (RED 118 LP). "180 gram HQ vinyl. Gatefold sleeve." $15.00 MORRICONE, ENNIO: Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura CD (RED 119 CD). "This, the only credited soundtrack appearance of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, makes you wish Morricone had used his free improv unit for that purpose more often. Gli Occhi Fredda Della Paura, or Cold Eyes of Fear, is an Italian slasher (giallo) from 1971. The score has Il Gruppo augmented by a rhythm section and a fuzz-wah guitarist (most likely Alessandro Alessandroni). The results sound like a creepy take on 70s Miles Davis, with driving jazz beats and psychedelic guitar jabs filtering in and out of the suspenseful textural mayhem provided by Il Gruppo: ashtrays in pianos, bowed cymbals, scraping metal, jittery horns, string drones, etc. Besides an odd one in the Morricone canon, Gli Occhi is also an unusual endeavor for Il Gruppo. The ensemble set out to avoid all musical conventions: '...no sounds bound to the tonal system, no rhythmic periodicity, no motives, and no repetition allowed...,' yet here they break Franco Evangelisti's rules and find themselves locked in some serious grooves. This Dagored issue is the definitive version with great sound and seven previously unreleased ques on both vinyl and CD. I don't blame anyone for being on the fence or only occasionally dipping their toes in the world of Morricone, that world is a confounding and oft disappointing one -- the man scored nearly 400 films and finding the nuggets is tough. However, this is the one that all you adventurous/out-music gluttons needs to be able pull off the shelve when the avant-garde police knock on your door. Yep, this is THE ONE." -- Frank van den Elzen. $15.00 MORRICONE, ENNIO: Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura LP (RED 119 LP). "180 gram HQ vinyl. Gatefold sleeve." $15.00 LES MALEDICTUS SOUND: Les Maledictus Sound LP (RED 120 LP). "Originally released in 1968, this is one of the most bizarre records ever released and one of the most sought after titles on the collectorsą market. The Maledictus Sound are to instrumental rock what Frankenstein was to science... a laboratory monster... a strange creature assembled from a mish-mash of diverse musical sounds... psychedelic pop, romantic ballads, musical tongue-in-cheek, drugged out chipmunks, near-delirium sound effects, horror movie screamadelia and a mega-twisted O60s vibe... eclectic, epileptic... for Jello Biafra this is 'some of the most screaming exotica-psych Iąve ever heard in my life.' Original artwork. Contains a free poster. 180 gram HQ vinyl, gatefold sleeve." $15.00 _____________________________________________ MATADOR: PIZZICATO FIVE: The Fifth Release From Matador CD (OLE 415 CD). "Pizzicato Five's brand new album, released earlier in 2000 in Japan under the title Pizzicato Five, is now available worldwide with a new title, a new cover, and 3 additional exclusive tracks. Showcasing producer and impresario Yasuharu Konishi's wide-ranging musical, artistic and theatrical talents, The Fifth Release From Matador is a paean to the pop styles and sounds of 1960s and 1970s Italy. From the Italian modernist furniture, design and clothing depicted in the lavish booklet and the press photos taken on location in Rome, to the juddering go-go beats and smooth soundtrack backdrops in the music, the album pays tribute to the best-dressed culture of the past four decades." $14.00 PIZZICATO FIVE: The Fifth Release From Matador 2LP (OLE 415 LP). $18.00 # 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) "Cross and the Switchblade" OST Date: 12 Nov 2000 19:18:52 GMT I hate to use the list as a request forum, but I figure once in a while will not earn my damnation.

Maybe it would even "interfere" with your appreciation of it. It's so sui generis, I just have to share it: "An album creatively centred around rhythm. An album that comes as close to complete creative artistry as musical perfection ever gets. Not go-go rhythm, nor rhythm & blues rhythm, not ballad or rock rhythm.. nor any particular label of rhythm at all. No pigeon holes. No one bag. Simply the integrity of rhythm. Merely a remarkably well conceived concept in thoughtful sound which utilizes the superb music of several styles and origins in order to create an elegantly current and unpretentious music rooted in the complex tapestry of when, where and how a note should be sounded".

Normally I don't like the boogie or the woogie but there's something about the heavy downbeat on this record... It almost makes me want to boogie.

BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO IBM 7090 Computer and Digital to Sound Transducer Music From Mathematics (Decca DL 9103) A album of computer music - from over forty years ago! No MIDI files here, this is the real McCoy - sounds described mathematically by a sequence of numbers. These numbers are punched on IBM cards, which are fed into the computer and the digits recorded in the memory of the machine. Instead of writing his score in notes, the composer programs his music by punching a second set of IBM cards and feeding them into the computer. The tape that eventually emerges from the computer contains sounds in the form of magnetic impressions. A digital-to-sound transducer then converts these impressions into the finished musical product.

(www.strangeandbeautiful.com) It's very much like John Lurie's other recent stuff, a touch of Lounge Lizards thrown in, and a bit of a Tom Waits-like sound to it.

Oh, well. The other thing I noticed at the site was a second V. Balsara record. I have "Great International Hits", which is pictured in one of the "Incredibly Strange Music" books and it features "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things", but it seems that Balsara has aimed his sitar at "The Sound Of Music" more than these two occasions. Is what I have a "Greatest Hits" album? Considering what he has covered, I wonder if there is a Beatles or Nancy Sinatra Balsara record out there. If you use my (admittedly nutty) logic, if Balsara uses sitar on songs where it wasn't originally, would that mean that his covering a Beatles song like, "Love You To", "Inner Light" or "Within In Without You" would have Balsara playing guitar?

Are there any of the Pebbles comps >that make a good companion, or should i just stay away from these? No, don't stay away! Pebbles was compiled by Greg Shaw who knows his stuff. If you would like to have a nice world view of things, try Pebbles, Vol. 12. and if you order it from Bomp directly at http://www.bomp.com it will only cost $10, which is about fifty cents per song! You also won't go far wrong ordering Vol. 1. If you have a record player and if they are still in print (Bomp has said they will sell the LPs until the covers run out), I can recommend Vols. 6, 9, and 10. Other compilations of note can be had from Crypt. If you can work past the foul-mouthed liner notes and the scary art direction, you end up with some amazing compilations, all with great sound. Be forewarned, Tim Warren HATES CDs. He makes them and sells them, but he hates them. If you buy any of the Back from the Grave compilations on CD, you will find that while you get two LPs worth of music on one CD, but, if you buy the LPs you will find that owning LPs of BFTG 1 and 2 gives you more tracks than the Vol. 1 CD does! I recommend all of them highly, but I particularly like Vol. 4 on LP, which has the wild Bunker Hill singing "The Girl Can't Dance", which is not garage or beat but still amazing R&B. The Teenage Shutdown series is also quite good and the titles will tell you what kind of comp it is. "Things Been Bad" are nasty, angry songs, Teen Jangler Blowout are more Folk-Punkish, etc. The first volume is quite good, but check all of them. Mike Markesich really knows his stuff as well and he helped compile these. These can be obtained at http://www.crypt.de If you like your sounds slightly more freaky, but not stoned-out and heavy you may wish to try the English Freakbeat comps, also obtainable from Bomp. Over at http://www.dionysusrecords.com/bacchus/psych.html you also can check the Fuzz, Flaykes and Shakes comps, compiled by Tony Sanchez. They are um...g-r-r-reat! If you want some really great modern Beat Stuff, try the Embrooks' album on Voxx. Not a bad song on it!

He was 82 and lived in Urbana. Mr. Brun was a professor emeritus of music composition at the University of Illinois School of Music. He formally retired in 1988 but contined to conduct a seminar in experimental composition until his death. Born in Berlin, Herbert Julius Brun wrote modern music for various instruments. But he also became a central figure in melding electronics and computer technology with music, and his teaching and writings in English and German influenced that development. He left Germany for Palestine in 1936 and studied piano composition in Tel Aviv and at the Jerusalem Conservatory of Music. He took more music courses at Columbia in the late 1940's. After 1950 he lived in Israel and Germany, writing for the theater, radio and television. His work included lecturing on Bavarian Radio in Munich (where he met his wife, Marianne Kortner), and in summer courses in Darmstadt. He also conducted research in Paris, Cologne and Munich on the use of electro-acoustic and electronic sound production in composing music, and he repeatedly toured the United States. In 1963 he was offered the professorship at Urbana, which allowed him to expand his study of computer systems as another resource in his work. While continuing to write pieces for traditional instruments, he used computers to generate sound, which he integrated into his compositions. He wrote widely on the function of computers in music and on the place of music in society and politics. Last year James Levine and the percussionists of the Metropolitan Opera included an unconducted performance of Mr. Brun's "More Dust" (1977) in a free concert series of contemporary works by, among others, Varčse and Reich. In Mr. Brun's piece, Allan Kozinn reported in The New York Times, three musicians proceeded from tambourine, cymbal and xylophone to larger drums to instruments emitting a glasslike sound and on to snares. In the music the instruments interacted with one another and with taped electronic sounds, Mr. Kozinn wrote. During the 1970's and 80's Mr. Brun held guest professorships at universities in the United States and Germany. In addition to his wife, Professor Brun is survived by two sons, Michael and Stefan, both of Urbana, and a sister, Erika Brun of Haifa, Israel. http://allclassical.com/cg/x.dll?p=acg&sql=1:920 http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/brun.herbert.html http://www.google.com/search?q=%22herbert+brun%22 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) Brain In A Box Rhino Sci-Fi Comp Date: 16 Nov 2000 12:08:42 -0800 (PST) Saw the new Rhino 5 cd box set Brain In A Box last night.

Besides the wonderful Greatest International Hits you have (pink cover with the sixties chick laying on her tummy, lookin back over her shoulder at these floating sitars), there is at least one other that I know of. It's called "Golden Hits" and has a sort of sunset-ona-beach cover. it's on the Odeon label, another fine record from Dum Dum India. No Beatles or Nancy Sinatra tunes on this one but it does have covers of Yummy Yummy Yummy and Bend Me, Shape Me, among others. I love those versions of These Boots Are Made For Walking and Sugar Town on GIH - they are terrific. I also stumbled upon a Balsara 7 inch EP with four Sound Of Music tracks on it. Three of those tracks are on GIH. see the cover here (if the darn thing works): http://members.home.net/basichip/digitaloddio/music.jpg # 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: Lang Thompson Subject: Re: (exotica) Crypt records Date: 16 Nov 2000 23:44:49 -0500 >bought was called Psychedelic Microdots or something like that from >a recomendation on this list. Those are not Pebbles comps but a series (of three I think) put out by Sundazed. The first one is wonderful but I haven't heard the rest. As for Pebbles I'm more familiar with the LPs, the first eight or nine of which were all great. I think the CDs roughly match them plus the addition of lots of bonus tracks so the first three or four are probably quite good (I've heard them but not enough to sink in). I can however highly recommend the recent Pebbles CD devoted to "the world." Also of definite interest are any comps on the Arf Arf label run by Erik Lindgren of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. There are two new ones of instrumentals that are much better than I'd expected and the two psych comps (one "heavy" and one "lite") are quite nice.

This CD is the first release of the soundtrack ever - it's the coolest party of the year and you're all invited! The Mad Monster Party CD is the inaugural release of Taylor White's Percepto Records label, in association with Retrograde Records and Film Score Monthly magazine. # 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: G.R.Reader@bton.ac.uk Subject: (exotica) modern orchestral covers Date: 17 Nov 2000 15:15:30 -0000 I was in a local department store at lunchtime today and they were playing orchestral / guitar covers of modern songs.

They had the radio blasting and tuned into a Mexican radio station. Of all things that came up as a song was a Mexican version of a somewhat obscure 1970 or so hit, "Yellow River" by Christie.

There's a constant though small stream of orchestral versions of rock stuff, recently including Led Zep, Yes, Pink Floyd and some others. Some of these even have contributions from actual band members. Also, the Music Club label has put out a few including one of punk songs that I've always been tempted to get. I'm actually more interested in all the bluegrass covers albums called things like "Pickin' on Boston" or "Pickin' on Aerosmith" which sound positively silly. # 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: (exotica) The Maltese Bippy Date: 17 Nov 2000 10:49:07 -0500 "The Maltese Bippy" (1969) -- Rowan & Martin's (as in Laugh-In) feature film is scheduled on TCM late Saturday / early Sunday at 4:00am (eastern).

I would guess it's all synthesizers, but I could be wrong - I know he did perform with a full band a little while back. His first Senor Coconut CD, "El Gran Baile", is also good, although not Kraftwerk covers. I find his Atom Heart CDs too cold-sounding for my taste. He also did a CD that was just issued with covers of 70s and 80s pop/rock stuff - David Bowie, Rolling Stones, etc. - I can't remember the title right now - might have been "pop electronique" but I'm not sure. An interesting CD, although I passed on it - I figured it was fun to listen to once, but I likely wouldn't play it again.

(unlike Senor >Coconut stuff, which I enjoy listening to again and again) LB is the name of the project and I think it was called pop electronique all right. and the 12" had the wrong people mixing the wrong tracks from it. I also passed on it as it was 'quirky' but ultimately not very good. Coconut is astonishing though. The 12" has 'Expo 2000' on it for completists (who probably also want the UR, Rolando etc. double pack just out. at 16 quid in Ireland. Not a chance) LB is on his own pretty interesting(?) label i think. Pretty much everyone on this list seems to have Senor Coconut! I remember when somebody posted about it last year as a Japanese import i was drooling and thinking it would never make it over here. He also records with Burnt Friedman (or Berndt as his mammy called him) as Flanger and that is rather good jazz based cut and paste.

I would've written about my experiences sooner, but six hours of driving through rain, sleet, and snow, then almost getting run off an icy overpass near Wisconsin Dells by a semi didn't do much to fire my creative muse. Near brushes with death have a way of doing that to me, doncha know. Now that I've had a day or two to rest up and let the stress adrenaline leach slowly out of my system, I feel as if I can finally write about my experience. I drove down to the Land of the Flatlanders last Monday and established residence in a nondescript Hilton on the edge of the Western 'burbs not far from the splendiferous Hala Kahiki bar which I was not fortunate enough to make it to this trip. I was there to attend a seminar on Advanced Instructional Design that's part of a suite of courses I'm required by my company to complete in order to obtain certification for my job. As my co-students were mostly trainers for financial institutions and other similar service industries, I found the majority of them to be fairly tedious and uninteresting to chat with. However, the gentleman who sat next to me was a dead-ringer for Ned Flanders down to his aviator glasses, Village People moustache, Promise Keepers polo shirt, and WWJD wristband. Diddley! After a couple of days of role-playing and fondling Koosh balls to stimulate my sensitivity to tactile learning, I was ready to ditch the squares and Tighten Up. I drove to downtown Chicago to meet a couple of former students of mine, Rennie and Bob. We had decided to rendezvous at the Palmer Hilton located in the heart of the Loop, dine at Trader Vic's, and then partake of some jazz. Rennie is a most pleasant gentleman who's unique musical tastes parallel mine. He also has a very enjoyable Sammy Davis Jr. vibe about him. Bob is a cynical hepcat given over to goatees and long leather jackets. As he lives only a block or two from Wrigley Field, he brought major Chicago street cred to our little company. After parking, I strolled along State Street under the El for a while then hooked right on Monroe Ave. Almost immediately, a large wooden Moai appeared incongruously amid the steel and concrete to mark the entrance to Vic's. A sign above the door proclaimed "It's Tiki Time!" I knew that I was in the right place. I bellied up to the well-appointed Polynesian bar, ordered a Menehune, and enjoyed a plate of complimentary Pu-Pu's (I really enjoy saying "complimentary Pu-Pu's," don't you?) whilst carefully extracting the chopstick from the square rectum of my female Menehune figurine. I put her away safely in my coat pocket for a friend who needed one to keep her lonesome male Menehune company. My compadres showed up promptly at seven. Then, after consuming a Mai Tai each, we decided to eat. In contrast to the bar, the dining room had a straight nautical motif with no trace of island exotica. Instead, the walls were hung with brass ship fittings and paintings of tall ships. Our table had a fine view of the Chinese ovens. After sharing a plate of Cosmo Tidbits, I decided on the Oven Sampler which consisted of a Chinese-smoked lamb chop, filet mignon, and chicken breast. I washed it all down with another Mai Tai, of course. Thoroughly lubricated by now, we were ready to move on. We had previously identified either the Green Mill or Jazz Showcase as possible musical destinations for the evening. The Green Mill is a former speakeasy with a distinctly local-bar atmosphere. The Showcase, also a historic club, is more dedicated to musical appreciation than it is to the glories of bathtub gin. In the end, we decided that the Mill was too far to go and in a lousy neighborhood to boot, so we hoofed it a few blocks to the Showcase instead. Taking a roundabout route to let Bob do his tour guide thing, we strolled by the controversial Picasso sculpture in the Daley Center Plaza then crossed over the Chicago River. The undersides of the bridges were lined with colored neon lights that cast a rippling glow on the surface of the water. Very cool. The Sears Tower loomed over the whole scene like a glass and steel Tiki of truly brobdingnagian proportions. Despite some earlier trepidation, I found myself digging this downtown scene. In light of the nice job they've done in renovating the city center, the Daley dynasty didn't seem like such a bunch of evil, vote-stealing, partisan dickheads any more. We got to the club, paid our $20 cover and walked inside. The audience was a wild mix of college conservatory students, older couples on "dates", deadhead freaks wearing ponchos, and skinny beatniks in black leotards, berets, and turtleneck sweaters. Whack, Jack Kerouac! Everyone was intently staring at the combo on the stage. There was no audience chatter whatsoever. The walls of the club were covered with giant posters of Coltrane, Satchmo, and Charlie Parker. Their eyes followed us across the room as we made our way to a table. The on-stage trio wrapped around piano whiz Benny Greene, jazz-box finger-zinger Russell Malone, and avatar of the upright bass, Ray Browne. All three of these cats are solid gold, 18-karat, and can blow harder than the wind off of Lake Michigan. With seasoned alums like this who've played with Art Blakey and Ella Fitzgerald, how could they do anything but wail? Bob ordered a can of Guinness Stout. The waitress brought it back and stood at our table for a minute or two with her finger on the pull tab. She waited for the music to hit a crescendo in order to safely open it without disturbing the intense concentration of the fervent jazzbos in the audience. Just as the music seemed to peak, she gave it a quick tug, but at that very same moment, the band unexpectedly dropped to a lower volume and the loud "PSSSHT" of escaping carbonation echoed loudly across the room. Fully one-third of the patrons turned around and glared sternly at the three of us. I felt like we'd just farted in church. The quality of the musicianship in evidence was simply Supermurgatroid, baby. Benny and his minions pushed longhaired schmaltz like "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "Pennies From Heaven" out to the fringes of known musical space, then skillfully reeled them back into the realm of traditional blues, bebop, and swing. They ensemble-shifted like a meatbone Lamborghini between time signatures, using a masterful palette of tone and a an astonishing grasp of dynamic range. Was it live, or was it Memorex? Ray Browne's bass playing was a revelation to me; this man says more with a single note than most musicians can with twenty. Malone's guitar moved easily between solid rhythm vamps and lightning solos performed in weird scales seldom heard by bipedal mammals; from the Lydian, onto the Phrygian, then sliding transdimensional into the Mr. Myxzptlkodian. Somebody get me the Kryptonite! Benny, no slouch on the ivories, layered on a topcoat of shimmery chords, polychromatic scales, and harmonic overtones. We stayed at rapt attention through both sets, then took our leave. We hit the streets beat but also feeling as if we were musically booted for the first time...sound evolution in action. The city seemed crystal clear, crisp, and alive with edges so sharp I could've cut my finger on them. I'm heading to Chicago again a week from Monday for another class. Next time, I've lined up a Czechoslovakian opera called "Jenufa" at the Lyric Opera House as my primary entertainment, but one more night of gone jazz at the Showcase would be jake with me. -- Matt # 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, November 19 Date: 18 Nov 2000 23:13:52 -0500 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.

These days you couldn't pay me to see a trio of guitar bass and piano but that was exactly the context in which I heard Ray Browne live. In the classic trio with Herb Ellis and Oscar Peterson. And I agree with you. (BTW he not only played with Ella, he was married to her.) I don't want to be glib but there's something about seeing truly great musicians play. A number of years ago, there was a series here during the jazz festival in which local jazz bands opened for famous musicians. And each night the same thing happened. Our local young white jazz musicians are some very very good players and they would demonstrate that. Then out would come Mal Waldron or Jaki Byard or Frank Lowe or even Chico Freeman (I say "even" because he's not that much older than the local guys;) And they would just exude something. Like they knew the secret. Or the truth. It was like they didn't have to try anymore. It was just a part of them. And the local very good musicians faded from memory. And as far as Chicago goes, maybe this is very Canadian of me but I found it a bit scarey. I drove through the city with my friend and he'd point to a corner and say that he'd never ever set foot on that corner. Then at the next street, he'd say we were safe. Then the next street we were in mortal danger again. And so on. Actually a friend of mine got kidnapped there. (Cheryl and Brian, did you ever hear the story of Guy getting kidnapped in Chicago??)

Like they knew the > secret. Or the truth. This sounds like the classic "White Men Can't Jump (or Can't Play the Blues)" stereotype, and like most generalizations, there's probably a grain of truth to it. I personally have a theory that there are cultural differences; put simply, emphasizing technique over emotion. I think that many young musicians fall into the trap of wanting to show you everything they know technique-wise in 10-seconds or less, while older musicians learn that transferring more emotion into fewer notes produces much more satisfying results. I think (and I'm going out on a limb here) that non-white musicians often learn their chops through mentoring with older players who've paid their dues rather than studying theory in conservatories. That being said, I can think of several non-white jazz musicians who don't move me at all; Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola, Wayne Shorter, to name but a few. They seem to mostly fall into the jazz fusion category which makes sense 'cuz fusion is mainly a head trip. > And as far as Chicago goes, maybe this is very Canadian of me but I found > it a bit scarey. Every major city has sections to avoid. LA, New York, and Washington DC all have dangerous neighborhoods, but compared to a lot of foreign cities like Manila, Kabul, and Johannesburg, they actually seem pretty safe by comparison. Remember too that I was in the "showcase" downtown area. Had I gone a couple of El stops north of the Loop, I suspect that my comfort level would've dropped precipitously. This was a big reason why we skipped going to the Green Mill. But all things considered, I felt a lot more comfortable in downton Chicago than I do in Minneapolis.

LOL - it's funny you say that because that was the one track that my buddy (into sci-fi stuff and comic book hereos) went absolutely NUTS for when I found him that album a few years ago. Why? Well, anybody that was living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 60s / early 70s will recognize that track as part of the opening titles to Bob Wilkins CREATURE FEATURES on KTVU, Channel 2.

He was 98. His obituary was delayed to research his full role in the creation of the modern image of the werewolf. But "The Wolf Man" was only a drop in a vast outpouring of work that included at least 40 film credits in the United States and 18 in Europe, dozens of novels and hundreds of essays, articles and short stories. His 1943 novel "Donovan's Brain," about a disembodied brain with malicious intentions, became a cult favorite and is still in print. It was produced on radio by Orson Welles and in the 1940's, 50's and 60's was the acknowledged basis for three movies, as well as for perhaps 50 more that appropriated the basic idea, according to Mr. Siodmak's count.=20 Yet it was "The Wolf Man" that was honored with a stamp by the United States Post Office three years ago, and it was that movie Mr. Siodmak chose to commemorate when he picked the title for his autobiography, "Wolf Man's Maker: Memoir of a Hollywood Writer," to be published by Scarecrow Press next month. "In my screenplay I delineated a character that has haunted people's fantasies for 2,000 years," he wrote. He brought to the task a style that caused many to call him the King of B Movies, forever lavishing lycanthropic legend on the hirsute character played by Lon Chaney Jr. "Most of what is today considered standard werewolf lore actually originated with Siodmak in this picture and its two sequels," said the International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers. "He invented the famous four-line verse (`Even a man who's pure in heart') and the business about silver bullets and full moons." From Mr. Siodmak's perspective, the tale was a metaphor for his own flight from the horrors of Nazi Germany.=20 "I am the Wolf Man," he said in an interview last year in Written By, the magazine of the Writers Guild of America, west. "I was forced into a fate I didn't want: to be a Jew in Germany. I would not have chosen that as my fate. The swastika represents the moon. When the moon comes up, the man doesn't want to murder, but he knows he cannot escape it, the Wolf Man= destiny." Born in Dresden on Aug. 10, 1902, Kurt (as his name was originally spelled) Siodmak began to confide the thoughts of a lonely child to paper at an early age, publishing his first short story in a children's magazine when he was= 9. He worked as a train engineer, earned a doctorate in mathematics and began reporting for a Berlin newspaper. One of his first assignments was an article on the movie that Fritz Lang was secretly producing, "Metropolis"(1926). He and Henrietta de Perrot, who later became his wife, signed on as extras. Mr. Siodmak became part of the German Hollywood, the filmmaking center of Babelsberg in suburban Berlin. There, in 1929, he worked on the film "Menschen am Sonntag," or "People on Sunday," which became known as a masterwork of neorealism even though it predated the neorealism movement.=20 The movie became an instant hit in Germany, and soon Mr. Siodmak and his brother Roger, who directed the film, as well as collaborators who included Billy Wilder, had generous contracts from Erich Pommer, the legendary producer of "The Blue Angel" and other movies. But suddenly the full terror of Hitler obscured everything and became a source of Mr. Siodmak's images of horror. Mr. Siodmak fled to France, then England. In 1937, he joined 1,500 other filmmakers from Babelsberg in Hollywood. His first on-screen credit in the United States was "Her Jungle Love" (1938) with Dorothy Lamour, for Paramount. Then, in 1940, he was hired to work on the screenplay for "The Invisible Man Returns" with Vincent Price. "I fell into a groove," he said. He went on to write a series of highly original films. "I Walked With a Zombie" (1943) is considered a horror film classic, seen by critics as a sly adaptation of Charlotte Bront=EB's "Jane Eyre" set on a Caribbean island= with voodoo, music and zombies. But Mr. Siodmak said he never read the book. In "The Beast With Five Fingers" (1946), Peter Lorre stars in the story of a man at odds with a disembodied hand that tries to strangle him. The other characters cannot see the hand, which in a haunting scene plays a piano. Mr. Siodmak said the hand represented the character's conscience playing tricks on him. Among other films he wrote were "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943), "Son of Dracula" (1943), and "The Magnetic Monster" (1953). Besides "Donovan's Brain," Mr. Siodmak's novels included "Hauser's Memory" (1968), which was filmed in 1970. Two others, "Skyport" (1959) and "City in the Sky" (1974), partly inspired the film adaptation of Ian Fleming's "Moonraker" in 1979. Mr. Siodmak is survived by his wife, Henrietta, and a son, Geoffrey, of Bonsall, Calif. Of all the millions of words Mr. Siodmak wrote, he readily acknowledged that the most famous come from "The Wolf Man": Even a man who's pure in heart And says his prayers at night May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the autumn moon is bright. "That four-liner has been attributed to `Gypsy folklore,' " he wrote in his autobiography. "I made it up. That's how folk history is made." http://www.google.com/search?q=3D%22curt+siodmak%22 http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?p=3Davg&sql=3DB111676 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=3Dbooks&field-auth= or =3DSiodmak%2C%20Curt/107-2529044-8794961 # 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) marching bands Date: 19 Nov 2000 21:58:29 -0800 At 09:33 PM 19-11-00 -0500, Alan wrote: >What is it with sixties records and marches?

The Research comp's are a must have. The Lanza is a history and also most highly recommended. 'Widening' is academic essays. 'Beats' is about foreign music- good chapter on India and film music. The others are more like guides and picture books. 'Forever Lounge' is a 'laid back price guide' but I don't think its that succesful. In fact what is badly needed is a guide along the lines of those paperbacks you get in the bookstore like "45's from '57-90" or whatever, packed with info on an artist, all their releases and maybe an attempt at a price guide (or a star system like in the All Music Guides which are a big help to the casual browser)...or guides like the English bloke (correct me if I'm wrong here) who does the psychedelic and the indie rock discographies...

Twist in Germany - A comp of 60's Twists including Chubby Checker, almost all in German. Its companion - Surf in Germany, is on the next order! The order came with a new catalogue with had among other things two volumes of film music, one by Martin Bottcher and the other Gert Wilden.

He'd warned me it would make the WFMU "That's Irritainment" tape I have look tame in comparison. Well I've finally got it transferred from PAL and made it through part 1 and what an amazing picture of Germany in the 60's!!! I can now attach an image to many of those songs I've listened to! I suspect the 70's part will bring disco and much higher level of "irritainment" but I'm looking forward to it. I realize that this is tantamount to Chinese water torture for many but for those of you out there (and you know who you are) with like interests, take my word for it.. its worthy of the best of those Jack Diamond superlatives!!!

No I didn't hear that one. I'd bet he wouldn't have if Greg were with him though! But I can surely relate to this one. Last time we were in Chicago on a stopover we took the train downtown. We transferred trains to go to the North side from downtown but somehow ended up on a westbound train. We got off to switch and go back but realized we would have to go down to the ground and then up to the platform on the other side. When we looked down we saw lots of empty looking buildings and some not so friendly people waiting below on each corner holding up the lamp posts. We got on the next train and went 3 or 4 stops further in the same direction to where we could cross to the other side without leaving the platform! Don't get me started on Detroit...

"The Maltese Bippy" (1969) To answer my own question, no, it is NOT Now Sound for your eyes. Other than the title and Rowan & Martin, there is zero connection to the Laugh-In style. It is a middling thriller spoof, though it does work up a nicely ridiculous ending. Which is nice... usually these sorts of movies tend to start strong and finish weak. If only they'd been that silly through the whole movie. But when Julie Newmar is onscreen, who cares?!? Oh, mercy! Worth it if only to watch her. Music is by Nelson Riddle. Lots of unremarkable suspense cues, but also some groovy little Now Sound cues. Not real aggressive, just gently groovy. Anyone know if there was an album?

Date: 21 Nov 2000 22:21:39 -0500 >A question friends. I heard this delightful track called “Bossa Nova Roma” by Eydie Gorme and Steve Lawrence….any idea what LP I should be looking for? There is soo much of stuff out there. That track is not on it, but a nice Steve & Eydie album to watch for is "Steve & Eydie / Bonfa & Brazil" (Columbia). All songs by Luiz Bonfa, who also plays guitar on some tracks (they say). Some songs are Eydie solo, some are Steve solo, and of course, some are duets. Arranged and conducted by Eumir Deodato. It's pretty smooth, pretty anglified, but pretty tasty regardless. m.ace mace@ookworld.com http://ookworld.com new stuff... "Newsstand" magazine cover gallery updated.

I'm in England so preferably I could order them from a store in the UK. Here's the list: 'Smashing time' 1967 Dir. Desmond Davis 'Tonite let's all make love in London' 1967 'Wonderwall' 1969 dir. Joe Massot 'Privilege' 1967 Dir. Peter Watkins 'Dollybirds' 1966 Dir. Robert Amran 'The Guru' 1968 '33 1/3 Revolutions per Monkee' 1968 Some of you will obviously know that these are films mentioned on Martin Lewis' wonderful 'Mods & Rockers' site www.martinlewis.com/mod If anyone could provide me with details of a UK based shop (online or other) selling these videos (if not DVDs) then I would be most grateful. If not, an online shop in the US. Thanks in advance Paul ps does anyone know if 'Bedazzled' (Cooke & Moore's original) or any of the other films I've mentioned have CD soundtracks available? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Charles Moseley Subject: RE: (exotica) groovy films Date: 22 Nov 2000 11:09:48 -0000 Another couple of groovy sixties mod films are the op art Qui Est Vous Molly Magoo and Modesty Blaise with Terence Stamp at his most swingingest.

Thanks. I don't remember seeing one in the stores at the time, but I was rather young when it came out and my town wasn't always too good on getting LPs. I am a bit ticked at myself for not seeing this, as it was one of the first movies I ever saw (the first being "2001: A Space Odyssey", figures, huh?) so outside of the ending, I remember NOTHING about that film, even though I know I didn't miss much.

Thanks. yup, it's in front of the Summer Shack restaurant in Cambridge MA...........which used to be the Aku Aku, until just recently. They sawed the Moai off of the base and put the fisherman up in it's place.

There is an interesting filler track called "Blues For Guru" also written by M Kelly and it has some sitar action. Very nice. Yeah Blues for Guru is kind of a "classic" in this world. It's on at least two different 101 Strings records. It is unbelievable you're buying 101 Strings records until you realize that they weren't all made by the same people. And even though Monty Kelly was responsible for most - if not all - the really cool groovy sitary 101 Strings material, including I assume "Astro Sounds from beyond the year we're actually in now", he made some really boring records under his own name. In other words, names don't mean anything. They all did crap. But some of them didn't always do crap. (And then there's the fact that some of them only did groovy things, accidentally.)

Here are just a few "fun facts" that i know of on just a handful of albums, starting with the most commonly known. Astro Sounds is the same as another faux-psych album by The Animated Egg with strings added and titles all renamed. One of the three bonus tracks on the Scamp reissue of Astro Sounds, "Karma Sitar" can be found on that Sounds of Today album (which comes up on ebay regularly). The other two, "Whiplash" and "Instant Nirvana" come from what I now belieive is a very rare 101 Strings album called "The Exotic Sounds Of Love" (NEVER seen on ebay). I've been looking for it for over a year now. Got a CD-R of it, seen it once. This must not be confused with the similarly titled "Sounds Of Love". Oh - I forgot to mention, Karma Sitar can be found on that album too (ESOL) With me so far? Also on "Exotic Sounds Of Love" is "Blues for Guru" - but it's been renamed to "Don't Leave Me Like this - Blues". And three tracks from Que Mango are on there too, except they did not change the names on them. Except for one. On that track, (was Boca Chica, now Besame Mas) the music is the same, but they mixed in Bebe Bardon's sexual moans and groans. Oooo la la. Still with me? Then, on this surf-hot rod-faux garage rock album called Call It Soul by Haircuts and the Impossibles (on Somerset), they slipped in three Animated Egg tracks. i wonder how many more are like this?

This definitely has some of the most "way out" arrangements I've heard in a long time (speaking of which, they were playing the Esquivel Christmas CD in the store - I was happy). My eyes positively bugged out over the arrangement of Star Wars. This cd has has me alternately in awe, and giggling maniacally. Any one else have any thoughts on this album...? There's a couple Baxter tracks on it too: "Journey To The 7th Galaxy", "Phantom Planet", and "Black Hole". Also a pretty groovin' version of "Moonraker" by John Barry. Barring the fact that it sounds like it was recorded in someone's living room, this has been most entertaining.

I have the "Sounds of Love", but there's another one isn't there? I've never seen it or heard it but I've wondered about it. Also, picked up Tipsy's new "Hard Petting" single. If anyone wants to know, it still has the spirit of Tipsy, but it has some definite funk influence going on. It's really nice. I anticipate a really good LP if the two songs on the single are any indication.

I also really loved the Five Chinese Brothers, but that's in a more folk/country vein. Still, it has great originals about hanging yourself on xmas eve and the Great Department Store Santa Claus Strike, and a nifty little surf instro. Speaking of which, you'll need the Ventures xmas CD. Hmmm, Ella Swings Christmas. For recent novelties I'd recommend tracking down the Kevin & Bean KROQ collections. My fav has Snoop Doggy Dogg doing the filthiest version of "Night Before Christmas" ("...and the candy canes were all hung with care / From my BIG FAT DICK!" - pretty funny and cool backing track). See if you can find the store promo SubPop xmas collection with The Millionaire himself introing the songs and ComEd covering Vince Guaraldi's "Christmastime Is Here." More novelties, Ren & Stimpy's "Crock of Christmas" has "We Wish You a Hairy Chestwig." Off topic, but I also love the Power Pop "I Want An Alien For Christmas" by Fountains of Wayne.

I love how it kind of "legitimizes" all this stuff I like or at least how it demonstrates a connection between all the things I like. I love surfing around the site. And I love finding things I disagree with. I probably should do this directly but here goes. You say that Michel Legrand fancies himself a singer and then you parenthetically compare him to Edmondo Ros and Burt Bacharach. In other words, HE thinks he's a singer but he's the only one. Au contraire mon frere! Perhaps I should first admit that I actually like the way Burt sings (though I do hate Edmondo's croakings.) But Michel was way way more of a singer than Burt. And all you have to do is check out his record which I think translates into "Sings For the Twentieth Century". It's a great record! And he sings all the way thought it. I'm not going to say he's like Mel Torme or something but he can sing well enough to totally carry off this very very very groovy record. (Just ask Jane Fondle if she hasn't given up on this list yet.) Anyway, when this list is dead and gone (which doesn't seem far off, does it?) I'm glad I'll still have the spaceagepop site to make me jealous of people who have records I don't have.

Tell us about "Sounds of Today" another 101 strings? * 101 Strings: "Sounds of today" LP, Alshire stereo 5078, USA maybe not as far-out as "Astro sounds", but still great, my second-best 101 Strings selection! lots of sitar, and even the tracks without sitar are good, that is, if you like the "classic rock" series of the London Symphony. All scores arranged by Monty Kelly, and the tracks he wrote are amongst the grooviest on this LP. With: Ode to Billie Joe; I'm a man; Karma sitar (M.Kelly); California dreamin'; Stone baroque (M.Kelly); San Francisco; A whiter shade of pale; Blues for the guru (M.Kelly); Never my love; Strings for Ravi (M.Kelly). * 101 Strings: "Play The Blues, In Tribute To W.C. Handy" LP, Somerset SF-5800 It may sound impossible, but if you listen to this record several times, you'll discover that there really is BLUES burried beneath those strings! * 101 Strings: "Plus Dynamic Percussion (an experience in sound)" LP, Alshire S-5145 "in visual stereo" A lot better than "Back Beat Symphony", this one tries to imitate a one of those typical wacky Space Age stereo percussion records. Has very versions of "Caravan" (with a big band added) and "Flight of the bumble bee". Also one track with ZOUNDS: "old soft shoe" is stolen from one of the tracks from Jack Fascinato's "Music From A Surplus Store": with shoes sliding through sand on a floor. Other tracks are not as good, but still better than the usual 101 Strings crap. * 101 Strings: "Back Beat Symphony" LP, Somerset SF-11500 They try to give classical music hits a modern treatment, with a guitar, drum, bass or trumpet track layed over. Altough the back says "pure rock and roll", this is not true, it is crap, except maybe for "Swingin' at Igors" (Borodin) and "Romeo and Juliet" (Tchaikovsky) that are so silly with their "wawawawa" chorus and "klingklingklingkling" piano. * 101 Strings play Edmund De Luca: "African Safari (The activity and excitement of an actual big game hunt!)" LP, Alshire S-5171 stereo rare (??) so-called "safari exotica" LP. It's rather tame and conservative, not really as exciting as the title would like you to believe. It sounds very much like a typical big Hollywood epic, with a FEW exotic touches: Afro-drum backing on a couple of tracks, and a very un-African, polished chanting choir. The "Kill" track ends with a "gun shot" that sounds more like a toy guns at a fair. All in all not bad, but not really Baxter either. This has the same selections as "Safari" by Edmund De Luca and the The Trans-World Symphony Orchestra conducted by Heinrich Alster, on Valiant stereo V-4931, but in different, slightly less dynamic arrangements. The B-side is "Polovtsian dances from Prince Igor" by Borodin, and "Ritual fire dance" by Manuel de Falla. * "Play Jimi Hendrix": no i don't have it, but yes i might have it ;-) Jack Diamond (i THINK it was him) once said about it: "is the Animated Egg LP in its entirety with different titles"...

Bell Book and Candle is wonderful and Any Wednesday is a little known, pretty groovy score to a 1966 film that starred jane fonda, jason robards and dean jones. he also did one of my favorites in the crime jazz category, The Naked City - A Musical Portrait. A really top notch album that tells the story of the city through the eyes of a cop, John McIntire, who plays a 30 year vet of the force. some vocals by the Jud Conlon singers. another Duning score - and a very tough find - is the Original Televison Soundtrack to The Big Valley. A good western it was, but don't expect anything "cool" at all on this one. Exceptional score, nevertheless. Second the vote on Suzie Wong, too! # 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: (exotica) CD Burner settings? HELP! Date: 28 Nov 2000 20:11:54 -0500 Any users of Easy CD Creator 4 out there that can help me here. I've noticed several problems with CDR's I've been making lately. From tracks cutting off abruptly, skips in the copies, to unexplained pops. There are a number of settings options none of which are explained all that well. I was told to avoid the direct copy mode but when I burn using assembled tracks it isn't obvious what will happen to the the spacing between tracks. Anyone have any explanations or suggestions to fix up this mess? Myself and several patient list members waiting for me to fix the problem thank you in advance!

I just got a copy at the local Indigo store and I have to agree with Moritz that this is really an amazing work! Sure I'd have liked to see a section on music as was mentioned but somehow with everything else I can see it would have had a lot less visual impact. And this is a VERY visual book! A great look back in time for me and a great addition to any pop culture library! Congratulations to Sven (and nice Moritz R cover)!

It was on Mainstream, a label that is usually very consistent, so I took a listen and liked what I heard. It wasn't that cheap but not too expensive either. The record credits just about every known name in pop music and is made up of orchestral interpretations of rock hits like Instant Karma, Pinball Wizard, Whole Lotta Love, etc. I don't know a lot about the man or this project though. Does anyone have any info?

Date: 28 Nov 2000 20:51:35 -0500 OK, Allan put me up to this. Knowing my weak spot for German Schlager he sent me this record: "Musik is Trumpf" with the qualifier that I post a review.. so here goes... It looks to be a recording from a variety show extravaganza. It has the ubiquitous Heino (suited up with tie, lots of hairspray and designer glasses) and Vico Torriani doing a sing & dance set on a Swiss theme. Yes it's lame as hell... but one set stands out: A series of Disney songs, actually Mary Poppins! Included is a German interpretation a the well known song but called "Superlkalifragilistischexpiallegorisch". Aside from this being a reasonable length for a word in German (you have to be German to get that one!) , is someone going to tell me there is a translation to the original English name and that it has a real meaning??? Now if only Heino had been singing it! Don't expect a reissue in stores anytime soon....

A great look back > in time for me and a great addition to any pop culture > library! I've just discovered a new book that makes a great companion to Sven's 'Book of Tiki' Its called 'Waikiki - In the Wake of Dreams' by Paul Berry and Edgy Lee. This book is also chock full of great vintage color images (hula girls, surfing, WW2 images, etc, etc) and a quick initial glance shows quite a few anecdotes concerning Hawaii's rich musical heritage - sidebars on the development of the steel guitar and pictures of the famous Arthurs (Godfrey and Lyman ),Don Ho, Henry Kaiser. There's lots of text on the rise and appeal of Waikiki from the 30's through the 60's . The only negative thing I can see so far is that Martin Denny is only mentioned in one brief paragraph. Here's one brief segment from this book .... "When the aging Waikiki Bowling Alley adjoining the Moana Hotel was torn down, the ancient pohaku stones, vanished since the 1920's, appeared as part of its foundations. They were returned to Kuhio Beach and enclosed as a revered part of Waikiki's history. It cost me $15 .... very reasonable and it appears to be a very good 'bang for the buck' For more info about this book and related side projects.

I remember someone asking this question on this list before and an expert opinion was something like "don't bother...this was just schlock he did to pay the bills."

However, if you are a Raymond Scott completist the amount you quoted might be reasonable. Just don't expect anything wild or even interesting.

Harley Warrick died of an aneurysm on Friday in a Wheeling, W.Va., hospital, his daughter Lena Williams said Monday. He was 76. Warrick and his fellow barn painters fanned out over America's heartland in teams of two, sometimes for months at a time, to cover rough, splintered wood with black, white and yellow signs reading ``CHEW MAIL POUCH TOBACCO. TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BEST.'' ``They just traveled from town to town like traveling salesmen or hobos. They lived cheap, maybe they'd sleep in a truck or find a cheap hotel. They'd do a sign in maybe a half day,'' said Appalachian historian Danny Fulks. Though Warrick officially retired about seven years ago, he continued to work until last month, when he put on his coveralls for a final repaint on a sign he made about 20 years ago in his hometown of Belmont, an Ohio River town across from Wheeling. ``A lot of local fans came out to watch him and talk to him. That was one of the nice things about Harley, he always enjoyed talking to the public,'' said park manager Mike Stewart. Warrick spent 55 years painting or retouching many of 4,000 Mail Pouch signs, working in 13 states from Michigan to Missouri to New York. ``The first thousand were a little rough and, after that, you got the hang of it,'' he said in a 1997 interview. When he was 21, Warrick fell in with a team of sign painters working on his family's dairy barn. ``I was just talking away with them and they said we need somebody on one of our crews,'' he said. ``I thought `That's better than milking 27 head of Jerseys every night and morning.''' Warrick painted without using a guide, starting at the center with the 'E' in CHEW and working six days a week, mixing colors in 5-gallon kegs for $32 a week. With the help of an assistant, Warrick could paint a sign in about six hours, sometimes completing two barns a day, and he could repaint up to five barns a day. ``He could tell you a story for each barn he painted,'' said Craig Nickerson of Swisher International Inc., which produces the Mail Pouch brand. The company stopped repainting barns in 1969, but Warrick continued upgrading the signs after they were designated national landmarks. ``He would always say if you could find a job that you would do without being paid, that's what you should do,'' said his daughter. ``I don't think he really thought about it as work. It was just what he did.''
