Tahitian music is rather wild. So Werner could have called the album: Haole Tunes In Swing Arrangements, Maybe As Wild as Pre-Missionary Polynesian Music. He probably wanted just three things in one album: - Phase4 sound - Esquivel inspired arrangements - standards that would go well with a tiki mask and a lady on the front cover The music is an experience in its own right. Try and listen without secondhand associations. Rather take it out into real life than have it for your private eyelid theatre.

Anyone have any Werner Muller recommendations that capture > that special sound of free spirits in love? As Alan, I'm a bit surprised that Hawaian Swing didn't do it for you, as the version of Hawaiin Eye on it is one if my all-time favourites, but it isn't a "free spirits in love" kind of record so... As for the rest of those on the list, I have to agree they are mostly all duds, though On the Move would be my choice as the next best after Hawaiian Swing. I have one other, "TanzParty '68" on Ace of Clubs, but sadly, the cover proved much more promising than the content. I probably mentioned this once before, but I knew from a few tracks I had heard on some killer compilations (Nymphomania I think?) that Werner Muller must have done some super groovy recording. Well I finally found that record. Its called "The Strip Goes On" and its in a league of its own. Typically, most of these big band conductor records are a mixed bag, with a selection of some slow, fox, rhumba, etc. tracks, and usually one or at most two beat tracks, which are always the best. This one is ALL beat tracks! Unfortunatley my copy is not in great condition but I couldn't pass it up since I was sure I may never get a chance on it again. Here's the details: Orchester Werner Muller - The Strip Goes On (the cover model is um....halfway there..) Bodybuilding Too Darn Hot Femme Femme The Beat Goes On.

I thought I would pass along another tidbit that I learned while trying to find the best way to slurp all these great files off the net. It was getting tedious waiting for each file to download and then load the next one and so on. I imagine those with dialup connections might find this process especially frustrating. Thinking there had to be some kind of program to solve this I went to download.com, and sure enough, there are a number of download managers that will allow one to put all those downloads into a cue, and let the computer tend to the downloads for you - even restoring dropped connections. The one I am using is a trial version of Download Accelerator Plus. Pretty Neat! Hope someone finds this useful. Happy New Year, y'all.

Their theme this month is "Swinging 60s" movies every Tuesday night. Tonight it's "What's New, Pussycat?" (1965), "After The Fox" (1966), "The Impossible Years" (1968), "Get Yourself A College Girl" (1964) and the epic (epochal?) "Lord Love A Duck" (1966). Beginning at 8:00pm, eastern. Tomorrow afternoon at 12:30pm, it's "The Night Of The Hunter" (1955). Starring Robert Mitchum and his knuckle tattoos. Thursday at 8:00pm is the 1984 Marlene Dietrich documentary, "Marlene" -- commentators seem to agree that this is the best Marlene Dietrich documentary. "Blonde Venus" (we recently had a thread on the Hot Voodoo dance scene) aired *last* week. Not scheduled this month, but I'm sure it will turn up again before too long. There seem to be two Andrei Tarkovsky films scheduled. "Nostalghia" (1984), late this Friday night at 2:00am. "My Name Is Ivan" (1962) at the same time, the night of the 18th. Hope they get around to showing "The Stalker" again. But, back to list relevance, watch out for those Swinging 60s Tuesdays. I'm sure JB can point out more highlights.

I don't know about capturing those free love spirits, but his LATIN SPLENDOR OF WERNER MULLER is my favorite of the three LPs that I have by him, which are all on Phase 4. Yes, it has that impeccable glossy production, but it's an incredible set of brass-heavy and occasionally very funky takes on latin standards like "Cumana" (a peppy cha cha that got the floor shaking last night at my club gig) and "Eso Es Amor." It also includes the inevitable - and inevitably great - cover of "Light My Fire." I've scored two copies of this LP so far ($4 US and $1 Can) and would probably buy another if I found it. I also dug out his ITALIAN FESTIVAL LP and found a uptempo version of "Arrividerci Roma" (with weird echoplexed percussion) and covers of "Love Me Tonight" & "More." This one is more "now sound" than "Latin Splendor" and I think most posters on the list might dig it even more than that LP. As long-a as you-a like-a lotsa bouncy spaghetti-tasting numbers, too. Lastly, his TANGO! LP is just that: EXTREMELY melodramatic tangos that are too over-the-top for me to really get into. Though if you like that sort of thing... It's also funny that someone mentioned the happy big-eyed people on Edmundo Ros' SAMBA! album; I just found it for $2 last week! In keeping with the topic at hand, I got out Ros' STRINGS LATINO LP on Phase 4 and there's "Cumana" again, with - you guessed it - lots of strings with some ultra-fast afro-cuban percussion. Quite amazing, actually. "Mas Que Nada" gets a danceable big band treatment with a strong beat and 101 Strings-styled background while "Green Eyes" has a romantic exotica sound. There's also lots of tracks that would be at home on the aforementioned TANGO! LP. Pick it up. And if you want more Phase 4 action, check out the latest article at Vinyl Vulture in their "Labels of Love" section: http://www.vinylvulture.co.uk/ Their tastes run a little more to the late 60s-early 70s/funky side (like mine) so don't expect a lot of typical exotica coverage but their crates are deep and their opinions on the money. -Mark -- DJ Marco Hammond http://www.thestepgods.com/djmarco/ # 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: JeffS87@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Honey West?

I couldn't get to the archives from the link on the mailman home page, so I don't know how its going..... Had some fun over Christmas with all the colds and the vomiting bug thats been going around town, but I still managed some musical times. All new vinyl. 'Shut It' music from The Sweeney, after that pre Christmas talk, it turned up as a gift from Santa, isn't that nice. Pretty damn good it is too. Mostly Library funk as described (plenty flutey, too) theres one track I'll post about again as its a real corker and I want more information, a dirty (flanged?) organ and bongo's, scary and sparse, by some French artists perhaps? As I say, I'll write it down and ask again. Nino Nardini and Roger Roger 'Jungle Obsession', discussed before and I was surprised to still see it about. Its exactly what you'd expect if you crossed classic Exotica with Italian and French groovy soundtrack music. Absolutely great, the first track especially, great bongos. What can I say? Bebel Gilberto 'Tanto Tempo Remixes'. Not totally enamoured with this, it was in the 'Nu-Jazz' section of the shop and that should have warned me. Still, 'So Nice (Summer Samba)' I enjoyed, and a couple of the others are getting there. Whats the original album like in comparison to this? Was it ever on vinyl? I'm sure I found something in a charity shop too, but it escapes me completely.....

Here is what they have to say: "As a kind of companion piece to last year's Songs in the Key of Z, outsider-champion-cum-smarmy-intellectual Irwin Chusid tapped Bar/None Records to release Innocence and Despair. Presenting the results of an experimental Canadian school music program in the mid-70's that coordinated 9-to-12-year-olds in singalong covers of 70's pop hits like "Band on the Run," "Sweet Caroline," and "Rhiannon," the Langley Schools Music Project must be heard to be believed. Alternately adorable and disturbing, this CD is worth the price of admission for the Schools' ominous and appropriately otherworldly cover of "Space Oddity" alone." John Coltrane is at number one, by the way.

Cleve still onboard?). When writing for strings, and specifying double-stops, which intervals are considered conveniently playable, and which are considered too difficult? 5ths are a cinch, obviously, but what about 4ths, 3rds, 7ths, 2nds, etc? Where are the bounds of player abuse? Can anyone recommend an especially good reference book on scoring/notation? Hopefully something commonly available in, say, a Borders store. I'm not seeking a tutorial type of book, but something geared more towards reference -- quick checkups on proper usage & placement of dynamics/expression markings and such. All of those little details that leave me scratching my head here and there. Though coverage of the bigger issues wouldn't hurt either, I guess. Maybe reply off-list, if you want.

Maybe one day I'll go back to all the trad jazz and R&B/Soul that I listened so much to about 10 years ago. But right now, I'm a little tired of music that's filtered through the performer's personality.

Neither of lounge/easy listening groups I was previously a member of have returned. So, just wondering if we should go ahead and get one started and populate with list members? There is already an Exotica list, which should really be called Erotica after seeing the description of the music they focus on which reads: "For lovers of sexy music that will hypnotize and enthrall potential ... ONLY for erotic music." We could use Loungexotica which was the name of one of the exotica groups previously -- Marco were you the owner/operator of that group?

Personally I would prefer that all the same people stopped traipsing around different groups and got properly centralised, but since the diaspora seems to be a self-perpetuating condition, the best we can do is make sure we are keeping tabs on everybody!

I was there in October and had pretty good luck in Grooves, plus the owner is very knowledgeable. I might have hit a bad groove or something but I came away with very little Exotica. Also, try any of the shops in the Haight but hit Amoeba. Tons o' stuff!

Amoeba has a large jazz room. Saturn Records in the East Bay (near the Rockridge BART stop) has the best collection of rare exotica and jazz - but it's not cheap. On the other hand, you will definitely find something there you've always wanted. Worth it just to flip through their stock. There's another Amoeba over in the East Bay also, and I've had good luck at Rasputin's. For indierock and imports and house/dance try Mod Lang. These are all walkable from the Berkeley BART station. Jack's Record Cellar in the lower Haight (on Scott) has a great collection of 78s (and Roy Loney works behind the counter). Grooves is in the lower Haight also, around the corner. Oh - definitely check out Open Mind Records - again in the Lower Haight, but on Divisidero. Also, across from Open Mind is a shop that specializes in estate sales, and they have an excellent selection of jazz and exotica (and tons of groovy sixties furnishings). Prices there run around $7 a pop, but I've gotten good things there. Aquarius Records in the Mission is the premier shop for rare stuff and has the most knowledgeable staff. Get your Krautrock, rare foreign garage rock, cutting edge everything. Howling Bull is walkable from Aquarius. Their limited record selection is mostly metal - however, they have tons of cool Mexican Wrestling stuff there, and rare action figures etc. Also Paxton Gate is next door (where you can get a stuffed mouse in a tuxedo). # 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: "Carl Howard" Subject: Re: (exotica) yet another upload of the week Date: 04 Jan 2002 11:58:30 -0500 Kahuna thinks the Abez in the label credits is Eden Ahbez, only spelled wrong.

I'm a little east of Adelaide in Melbourne so I can't recommend specific places there for you but you should find good record hunting in most Australian cities. "Thrift stores" here are Op-shops (as in Opportunity Shop) and many of them have vinyl. Going price is 50c - $2.00 Australian which is very cheap if you look at the value (or lack of it) of our dollar. The Sunday Trash and Treasure markets are a staple of Melbourne and presumably Adelaide weekends and usually turn up plenty of vinyl. Look for a car-boot type market in an old drive-in rather than a bric-a-brac dealers market if possible. >Any good places to visit? Yeah, Melbourne. If you do drop me a line.

Lou The year is 2006. You're in the office trying to make a tough decision. You need to think objectively, so you reach into your desk and pull out a thinking cap, a heavily wired beanie with a long electrical cord. Fitting the cap carefully on top of your head, you lean back and plug it into the wall. And in a flash, you've decided what to do--it's so clear! Why didn't you think of it sooner? World-renowned physicist Allan Snyder is working toward that scenario. Known for his work in optics and telecommunications, Snyder now heads the Centre for the Mind, a joint venture between the Australian National University (where he's also a professor) and the University of Sydney. Snyder and his colleagues are investigating what he calls "mind physics"-- ways to use technology to make the brain work more efficiently and to expand creativity. The inspiration for the project came from studying the brain functions of a severely autistic girl. A savant, similar to Dustin Hoffman's character in the movie "Rain Man," she could barely communicate with other people, yet was able to draw incredibly accurate pictures of the world around her. Snyder theorized that some of the damaged parts of her brain were the areas that let healthy people see the world subjectively. So he began trying to simulate that condition in another person. "We located the area of the brain that's damaged in a savant and switched it off [in a healthy mind] with magnets," Snyder explains. By turning off the part of the brain that supports subjectivity, "we have been able to enhance objectivity," he says. Test subjects are temporarily able to draw pictures far more accurately than they normally can, he says. Ultimately, the research could lead to more ways to make workers smarter, bosses fairer, and decisions easier to make. Says Snyder, "We can create more-objective people." - David M.

I don't necessarily think Zorn is fit to walk in many of the shoes of those whose work he has extolled over the years, such as Anthony Braxton, Raymond Scott and Carl Stalling, but he's certainly generous enough to share his appreciation with the general public.

Paul is a good friend and has an incredible lp collection. The show Paul put on has its official opening this Weds night in Baton Rouge LA. There are around 135 lp covers on display in a beautiful and peaceful art gallery. Paul has made a cool comp to play as at the show. The show is called "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" It was quite impressive to listen to an exoticat's easy listening comp while gazing at a large room full of some incredibly cool lp covers. Journey to the Moon was there as was Soothing Sounds for Baby. Cool Jazz covers, funk, easy listening, cheesecake, exotica and rock. Amazing Paul! Glad I got to go. Paul what is the name of the gallery and how long will the show be running? Could you post some pictures for us to view?

I'm back at one of my futile attempts to define >'exotica' or at least to devise a list of attributes. My old definition of classic exotica (ala Baxter, Denny, etc.) runs along the lines of: Mood music employing real or imaginary elements of non-western musics to evoke exotic emotions or locations. So, I suppose, authentic Javanese gamelan would be exotic (unless you happen to live there). But L.A. studio musicians doing an interpretation of gamelan (combined with, say, a string section) would be exotica. Exotica in the sense of the name of this list is another messy matter. It sort of just happens to be the name of the list, which even in early days was not totally exotica-centric (it's mainly been finding-old-records-centric through its lifetime). I think Alan hit it pretty well when he suggested that it's not so much a list about exotica as a list for people who like exotica, among other things. But at the same time, I think the classic exotica does sort of serve as an emotional core for the list. --m # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "M.Ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) Zorn list: Esquivel/Easy Listening/Exotica/Lounge Date: 07 Jan 2002 20:36:47 -0500 At 12:35 PM 01/07/2002, Lou wrote: >I sent the exotica-related extracts from the zornlist to this list a few >hours ago.

Cleve" Subject: (exotica) Esquivel, R.I.P. Date: 08 Jan 2002 13:29:34 -0500 As you all saw from Lou's post, Juan Garcia Esquivel died last Thursday, due to complications from a stroke, at his home in Juitepec, Morelos, Mexico. He was 83 years old. On a postive note, at least Esquivel lived long enough to see his work rediscovered and appreciated by a new audience around the world. After being bedridden for close to 10 years due to a back injury, he thought of himself as a forgotten man, but the 1994 release of "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" changed all that, and the last 7 years of his life were quite joyous. I can remember the look on his face when he'd be getting calls from, say, Rolling Stone or the New York Times, or when I showed him Joe Holmes' Space Age Bachelor Pad website - everything was so exciting he was completely revitilized [It also gave him the opportunity to exude his impeccable charm on a great number of female reporters]. Unfortunately, his health continued to fail, although through therapy he was able to get out of bed for the first time in years and get into a wheelchair for short periods of the day. It's a shame he didn't live long enough to see the proposed film story of his life made, although I doubt he would have been happy with the emphasis on the more sordid elements of his life. For Juan, it just all about the music, and that's what we can be thankful for today - the incredible imagination, style, humor and life found in the body of work he's left for us to enjoy. br cleve # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) Esquivel, R.I.P.

He was 83. The death was reported by his widow, Carina Osorio vda. de Garcia, and by his son, Mario Eddi Garcia Servin, of Taxco. According to a longtime friend= , Steve Reed, of Los Angeles, three months ago Esquivel suffered a stroke, which had left him paralyzed on one side and unable to speak. He recovered in a short time, but suffered a second, more severe stroke on Dec. 30. He died four days later. Esquivel was born on January 20, 1918, in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He was a renowned pianist/bandleader in his native country, garnering much acclaim on stage, television and radio. He starred in and scored two films, "Cabaret Tragico" and "La Locura de Rock'n'Roll," before being brought to the U.S. by RCA Victor Records in 1957. Working primarily in Hollywood, New York, and Las Vegas, the suave maestro recorded prolifically, led an explosive big band, and scored for several TV programs. His elegant, idiosyncratic, and very meticulous arrangements were colored by radical dynamic shifts, playful percussion, wordless vocals, and Esquivel's own virtuoso keyboard runs. When it came to recording sessions, he was notoriou= s for budget-busting extravagance. His offstage life was filled with celebrit= y hobnobbing (e.g., Sinatra, Liberace, Ernie Kovacs), romantic intrigue (he embodied the charming Latin Lothario mystique), and unfortunate bouts of drinking and prescription drug abuse that eventually curtailed his success. Many of Esquivel's saucy compositions, such as "Mucha Muchacha," "Whatchamacallit," "Latin-Esque," and "Mini Skirt," have come to symbolize the wild hyper-stereo orchestration of the 1950s and '60s. Ironically, his most familiar composition -- and one for which he is little known -- is the "Universal Emblem," a two-second blast of Wagnerian thunder which has for decades accompanied the Universal Studios logo at the conclusion of hundred= s of television programs. "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music," a 1994 Bar/None Records compilation of Esquivel's 1950s-'60s RCA Victor recordings, sparked a resurgence of interest in his work. Simpsons creator Matt Groening declared Esquivel "the great unsung genius of space age pop." Subsequent releases, such as "Music From a Sparkling Planet" (1995, Bar/None), "Cabaret Ma=F1ana" (1996, BMG), an= d the 40-years-locked-in-the-can "See It In Sound" (1999, 7N), launched his vintage recordings into wide circulation on TV, in films and commercials, and as background music in restaurants, lounges, and stores. Several of his compositions have been used in the soundtracks of major Hollywood films, including "The Big Lebowski," "Four Rooms," and "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America." His riffs have been widely sampled and emulated by audio mixologists and turntable wizards worldwide. The Kronos Quartet recently commissioned and performed a string arrangement of Esquivel's 1967 composition "Mini Skirt." The original handwritten score= s for his 24-piece orchestra no longer exist, having reportedly been hauled away as trash years ago when rent was in arrears on a Las Vegas storage facility. Though he was an American citizen, Esquivel moved back to Mexico in the 1980s. For the Televisa network, he composed soundtracks for a children's T= V program, entitled "Burbujas" ("Bubbles"). He was inactive in the music business during the 1990s, due to a broken hip and an aggravated spinal injury which left him bedridden and unable to walk. He lived at the home of his older brother, Sergio, in Jiutepec, until Sergio's death in 1999. Esquivel then bought and moved to a home in Villas del Descanso, also in Jiutepec. In May 2001, Esquivel married 25-year-old Carina Osorio, who had assisted the ailing legend as a home health care aide for several years. They were wed in a simple ceremony administered by a justice of the peace at Esquivel's home. Esquivel claimed that Carina was his sixth wife. He had married and divorced twice while residing in the United States. He describe= d Carina as "a simple girl, who is attentive and honest," adding, "I am very happy, and she is too. We both stay up until 2:00 in the morning, and she helps me. Our house is not too big, not too small. Just for the two of us, it is nice. It has a nice garden." A film biography about the Space Age Pop avatar is in script development at Fox studios, with John Leguizamo slated to star and Alexander Payne signed to direct. Per his wishes, Esquivel's remains were cremated, and his ashes were returned home with Carina. -- Irwin Chusid 1/8/02 keyofz@mindspring.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Juan Garcia Esquivel (1918-2002) Date: 09 Jan 2002 00:23:49 -0500 JUAN GARCIA ESQUIVEL (1918-2002) Juan Garcia Esquivel, celebrated pianist, composer, bandleader, stereo recording pioneer, and glamorous Space Age Bachelor Pad Music icon, died at his home in Jiutepec, Morelos, Mexico, on January 3, 2002.

There is a list a mile long of Esquivel originals which have never been covered. About the only exceptions are "Miniskirt" and "Mucha Muchacha"... I could be wrong, it could be just "Miniskirt." Cleve knows. This means that certain Esquivel signature tunes have never been approached, among them... "Yeyo" "Latin-Esque" (with the marimbas panning the stereo field) "Whatchamacallit" "Question Mark" ...and two in this list were recorded with his stripped down Vegas combo.

I remember Sheila Chandra from listening to radio and copying to tapes in the early 80s, she was part of a musical movement in England (And perhaps other countries with a large Indian population) called "INDIPOP". That is traditional indian music blended with the popular music of the west. Just the stuff we like. This LP is dreamy and full of exotic indian instruments, whereas much of the new wawe and pop of the 80s has faded into crap for me this still has a deep impact, making it touching and in the best parts psychedelic. Since I started listening to the American exotica of earlier years, I have had little time to explore "new" areas of music. Well this LP, and yes I remember some of the tracks quite well from old tapes I made, got me encouraged to seek out "later" exotic stuff. Does anyone know anything about what happened to Sheila Chandra? I would say she is in her teens on this LP. Are there other indian artists worth seeking out from early 80s England? I used to own another LP with Sheila Chandra, but sold it to a local dealer 15 years ago. It is probably still available in his record shop. I remember hearing amazing Carribean stuff, also done by 2nd generation indian population on the west indies, blending calypso/soca reggea with sitars and tablas, and that special "soul" from India. Any expert on that here? Thanks for reading, and hello to all friends!

He was 83. The musician had been bedridden with a back injury for nearly 10 years. Three months ago he suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak and caused paralysis in one-half of his body. He had a second stroke on December 30 that led to his death. Esquivel was born on January 20, 1918 in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. In his youth he was a popular pianist and bandleader in his homeland, and was a regular attraction on Mexican radio and television. He studied briefly at the Juilliard School in New York and scored and starred in two Mexican movies, "Cabaret Tragico" and "Las Locuras del Rock 'n' Roll," and at age 29 was lured back to the U.S. by RCA Victor Records, which signed him to a recording career. At the time, record labels were only beginning to release stereo albums, and Esquivel fully explored the medium, integrating panning and sonic separation into his winsome melodies. Between 1957 and 1967 Esquivel wrote and released 11 studio albums of effervescent, easy-listening pop flecked with strange galactic sound effects, quirky noises and instrumentation that was exotic for the time (theremin, early Fender-Rhodes keyboards, Chinese bells and bass accordion). His most played composition, however, is "Universal Emblem," a three-second-long flurry of sound that has for decades accompanied the Universal Studios logo at the end of hundreds of television shows. In the '80s Esquivel returned to Mexico, where he worked on music for a children's TV show. In 1994, in response to a renewed underground interest in kitschy martini-pop, Bar/None Records issued the Esquivel compilation Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. Other collections followed, including Music From a Sparkling Planet (1995) and Merry Xmas From the Space-Age Bachelor Pad (1996). Esquivel's whimsical melodies were also featured in numerous films, including "The Big Lebowski," "Four Rooms" and "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America." "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening has called Esquivel "the great unsung genius of space age pop." Although Esquivel enjoyed a career revival in the '90s, a broken hip and aggravated spinal injury left him bedridden and unable to walk. But while he was musically incapacitated, he retained his Austin Powers-like taste for indulgence. In May 2001, at the age of 82, he married his 25-year-old home health care worker, Carina Osario, his sixth wife. After his death he was cremated and his ashes were sent home to his wife. He is survived by his son Mario Eddi Garcia Servin. # 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: "jonathan richardson" Subject: (exotica) quick question Date: 10 Jan 2002 08:10:42 -0800 Got a quick question, this might be something for otto, anyway.

I was more worried what the New York Times would do to his legacy than what MTV would do to Irwin's copy - by the way I am positive they will not pay Irwin, and I am positive they did not specifically advise Irwin they intended to use his obituary. Unless things have changed recently, they snot-assed New York Times has still not run an obituary. If I am wrong, I will post the link here.

Maybe it's being "revived" because that term is somewhat more palatable - or less suspect - than "lounge" which has very specific cultural associations. There's a LOT of music in the "indie rock" scene that is very easy listening related. A lot of heavily orchestrated, string-laden music. Much of which I love by the way. Rock bands are actually getting positive press simply for putting strings all over their music. And certain records from the past are occasionally referred to as touchstones for this "new sound". For instance a Sinatra record that I personally love, though I think it's hated by most diehard Sinatra fans. "Watertown". It was on a list that Bob Pollard - he of Guided by Voices (an indie band with utter indie credibility)- made called "Records I'm listening to on the bus" or some such thing. There's also the popularity last year of two "reissues". The Shuggie Otis record and the new/old David Axelrod record, both of which could be described as easy listening. Lots of strings, orchestration, slow passages etc. So it wouldn't surprise me if there was an easy listening revival. And soundtracks, well they're still constantly namechecked by DJ's and samplers and electronica stars. However I'm not sure this will ever amount to a revival or create the flurry of reissues that occurred with the lounge revival. And personally I hope it won't happen. I find that a lot of music fans half my age know WAY more about the music of the past than I did at their age. I may have been aware of old blues or something but they seem to have a much wider view of things. I'm careful not to make too many recommendations to them. "Oh if you like that Flaming Lips record with all the strings, then you'll probably like these records which also have string sections". (Just like I don't recommend the new easy listening to you guys.) But they seem to wish I would. And the hip CD store around here has tons of reissues and old classics mixed in with the new stuff. So let's just call it a rethinking rather than a revival.

Yes, apparently there is something going on. I hadn't really noticed, until I got an e-amil from a journalist from the Dutch 'Lounge' magazine (not a music magazine, but some glossy publication for yuppies, young executives, or whatever). He wanted to do an interview with me about easy listening and my record collection. Of course I said yes, so the interview took place last thursday. We talked extensively about the genres that we discuss here (easy listening, exotica, lounge, space age pop) and artists like Baxter, Denny, Esquivel. Along the way all kinds of subjects came up: library music, moog records, soundtracks, German easy listening (James Last and the like), etc. etc. Apparently the reason this journalist was interested in the subject is because is there a connection with the lounge trend in currect dance (house/techno) music. I'm not familiar with most of the names that he mentioned, but people like Kruder & Dorfmeister are apparently mixing all kinds of references to easy listening, soundtracks, moog records etc. into their own music. The interview, by the way, will be published in march.

Actually, there are very few original Esquivel compositions recorded on his albums. Most of his main compositional work - scores for televison - is unknown (I saw some of his BMI payment books, which would list every show that had compostions by him, such as 100+ episodes of Kojak, but it was all 2-30 second background cues). "Whatchamacallit" was an original, but in reality a re-write of his own "No Es Cierto" from the soundtrack of "Cabaret Tragico". My favortie Esquivel composition is a song called "Pecado Mortal" (Mortal Sin), which was recorded in the early 50's by Mexcian singer Antonio Prieto. Juan rearranged it in the late 60's for a proposed musical (never produced) called "Don Quijote" (yeah, that's how he spelled it). It sounds like a funky 70's detective show theme....not unlike that music for Kojak, I assume. br cleve # 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: "basic hip" Subject: (exotica) Re: [outsidermusic] Hi I'm new...(the bad music guy) Date: 10 Jan 2002 19:07:21 -0800 on his site (http://www.miserablemelodies.com/), mjb713 wrote: "Inspired by KGO Radio's Ronn Owens who occasionally has a guest called "The Bad Music Guy" on his show, I have begun a new hobby of collecting bad music" I've listened to Ronn Owens, one of the best talk show hosts in the San Francisco Bay Area for years. He's a pro's pro, capable of taking on anything from bay area bargin hunting to hard ball interviewing of politicians. "The Bad Music Guy" (Paul Beckwith) first got on Ronn's show during one of his "instant guest" programs. Anyone was invited to call in and pitch themselves as to why they should get a guest spot with Ronn on the air. At the end of an hour of calls, the listening audience would call in and vote for their favorites. The two with the most votes got on the show as instant guests. Paul was enough of a hit with this bad music to secure a spot on Ronn's show every now and then. I have often wondered if Paul frequents any of these lists or has put together a site.

A vague term. Is it the same as "outsider music"? I think I know what that means. Sort of like "outsider art". But if something is really bad, it won't even be enjoyably bad, will it? Maybe not. It's a tough topic. A few years ago, on this list I mentioned that I was in the possession of a lot of "bad Canadian country music". And I heard from Irwin, the outsider music guy, asking me to send him some. Which I did. With the proviso that "this stuff may not be bad enough". And he agreed. Most of it wasn't bad enough for him. It was more "mediocre" than bad. But I think some of it is pretty funny. The only thing that he did take was this guy Len Fairchuck from Western Canada. Some of you on the exoticaring have probably heard one of his cuts that I put on a comp of mine. He's both bad and hilarious at the same time. I have this other record which I think qualifies. I've always wondered if the guy was like a big star on the lounge/bar scene around Denver. Any members from around there? His name is Terry Canady and he plays guitar and sings, accompanied by Don Perez on congas. He does this thing where he makes a fake echo sound without using an echo effect. So like he sings "Lady Madonna onna onna onna" Anyway I guess I should have posted this to the outsider music list but I'm not on that list. Is there an outsider music list?

Well I don't have any problem recommending the new "instrumental" or "electronic" versions of easy listening. Most of Kruder and Dorfmeister or Thievery Corporation are pretty easy and also pretty reliable. Of course in both cases, I ended up burning my own "boiled down" versions, leaving out the cuts I found annoying for one reason or another. So it's hard for me to absolutely recommend any of their individual CD's. But if you have a burner, you can make yourself some really nice, easy versions of their music. And if you like warmed over Isaac Hayes, which I do, it would be hard not to enjoy the Stefan Torossi record "Feelings". But when I was referring to the influence of easy listening on today's music, I was talking about the less obvious stuff. The pop and indie rock bands. That's the stuff I'm less enthusiastic about recommending, since "rock" music, with vocals and lyrics and all that stuff, is hardly ever mentioned here. But okay. You might like the new record by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci "I long to feel that summer in my heart". And I'll go out on one more limb. There's a guy named Joe Pernice who usually records under the name "The Pernice Brothers". You might like their new record but if you have a store near you that sells those CD's, then I recommend the record where he recorded under the name "Chappaquidick Skyline". It's sad pop music. Just to get that straight. And a lot of people liked the last record by the band Flaming Lips called "The Soft Bulletin". And ask them if they'll play you a record by a band called Cousteau. that's all for now. I'm already regretting it.

He was 83. Mr. Esquivel wrote television and movie scores, but most of his music was released from 1957 to 1968 by RCA Victor on what were considered easy-listening albums, with titles like "Other Worlds, Other Sounds" and "Exploring New Sounds in Stereo." He called his style sonorama. It was anything but background music. A reviewer in Audio magazine in 1962 described Esquivel's music as "mayhem in Latin tempos." Orchestrating standards or his own compositions, Mr. Esquivel often started with Latin rhythms and built three-minute extravaganzas that gleefully showed off the era's newfangled hi-fi stereo equipment. In flashy arrangements that changed texture every few seconds and ping-ponged from speaker to speaker, brassy big bands were laced with sliding steel guitar, skittering xylophone, buzzing electronic instruments like the Ondioline and choruses belting syllables like ooh- wah-wah or pow! Mr. Esquivel was born in Tampico, Mexico, in 1918. At 17 he formed a band to play his arrangements and it grew into a 22-piece orchestra with five singers. He was popular across Mexico in the 1940's and 50's, performing on radio and television, touring clubs and theaters and appearing in films. He made a dashing star. In an interview with The Wire magazine, he said, "I have had many loves in my life: music, cars, women and the piano, not necessarily in that order." Mr. Esquivel was married six times, most recently in May to his 25-year- old health care aide, Carin Osorio. He is survived by her and by a son and two sisters. RCA Victor in the United States discovered Mr. Esquivel with his third album, "To Love Again," which had been released by that label's Mexican subsidiary. RCA Victor released the album in 1957 and took Mr. Esquivel to the United States, where he recorded with studio orchestras. Arrangements of "Jalousie" and "Sentimental Journey" from his 1961 album, "Infinity in Sound, Vol. 2," were used by the comedian Ernie Kovacs for a noted television sketch featuring dancing furniture. For his 1962 album, "Latin-Esque," Mr. Esquivel achieved complete stereo separation by having each half of his orchestra record in studios a block apart. As rock began to dominate the pop market, he returned to nightclubs, taking a revue to Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. He also wrote soundtrack music for the Universal Studios music library that was heard in programs including "McHale's Navy," "Magnum P.I.," "Baywatch," "Battlestar Galactica" and "Law and Order." He wrote music for the Disney film "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and commercial jingles. Mr. Esquivel also composed the fanfarelike theme heard when the Universal logo appears on television shows. He returned to Mexico in 1979 and wrote songs for a children's television show, "Burbujas." By the 1990's he was retired. Meanwhile he was being rediscovered by record collectors and avant- garde musicians. Perhaps initially drawn by his period-piece album covers, they soon became fans of his quick-changing music. In 1994 his manager, Irwin Chusid, compiled a selection of Mr. Esquivel's RCA recordings that Bar None Records released as "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music," and it sparked a revival. His music returned to parties and lounges; it was also heard in the soundtracks to films including "The Big Lebowski," "Four Rooms" and "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America." His original albums were rereleased along with other compilations and an album of unreleased recordings, "See It in Sound" (1999, Buddha). The Kronos Quartet commissioned and performed a string arrangement of Esquivel's 1967 composition "Miniskirt." A film about Mr. Esquivel, starring John Leguizamo and directed by Alexander Payne, is being developed by Fox Studios. # 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: alan miller Subject: (exotica) the new easy?

But I think that in the British music press at any rate, the growing interest in obscure, neglected and forgotten (or derided) genres of the past has been a much more gradual, and more genuine one. Consequently it is less a fadish "revival" and more of a gradual movement into the contemporary musical landscape of a more permanen= t nature. Over the past few years the mainstream music press has taken more and more of an interest in the types of music discussed here on the list. Most likely this has been due to the popularity in dance culture of "sampling" elements from old releases. Initially I don't think people were that interested in the fact that a bit of a popular record - say by artists like David Holmes or Fat Boy Slim - came from some old soul 7" or obscure moog record.=20 However there were those DJs who took this opportunity to link different genres (and decades) in their sets, jumping from house & bigbeat into soul, blaxsploitation & funky easy without missing a beat. Clubs like the Heavenly Social in London and DJ acts such as Tim "love" Lee, Bentleys rhythm Ace, Mr Scruff (and he's Madonna's favourite DJ!) and the like got loads of coverage for this new "eclectic" style of DJing. Being into many different kinds of music was gradually becoming cool AND useful, as having = a knowledge about way-out music ment you had an exclusive pot of material to sample and spice up your recordings. Notoriously David Holmes played a DJ mix on BBC radio with only retro music (Jean Jacque Perry, 101 strings "karma sitar", Abaco Dream's "Cat Woman" I am sure were included) that came exclusively from bootlegs picked up in Dance Shops. When it came to releasing his mix it was discovered that the artist=B9s rights had been infringed and a subsequent investigation by the authorities into bootlegging was undertaken. The Term "bar culture" (there is even a series of CDs) is now used to describe the "eclectic" mix of chill out music that includes artists like Royksopp, Bertrand Burgalat and Howie B played along side Serge Gainsbourg, obscure funk instrumentals and experimental electronica. And it is not only in dance culture that artists are taking an interest in other more loungey or easy kinds of music. Pulps last single "the Trees" contains a sample from the groovy Bernard Ebbinghouse soundtrack "Otley" while painfully hip electronica label Twisted Nerve's Andy Votel frequently subjects his headnodding bleep bleep indie fans to DJ sets that comprise entirely of ridiculously obscure euro go-go soundtracks and French psycho beat. With recent books and television programmes on the history of dance music further fuelling peoples interests in past music the popularity of eclecticism seems to grow and grow. There are now whole CDs devoted to the artists & the original tracks where popular hits have taken their samples. Recently (and this may well have been discussed on the list before I joined= ) was the case of the Gunter Kallmann Choir=B9s "daydream" being sampled by two groups at once (I-Monstar & The Beta Band). The I-monster track "daydream in blue" (which was already 2 years old) going on to become a top ten hit. I still hear tracks from the Sound Gallery & Karminsky compilations on design & home decoration shows in the UK (I was visiting a friend=B9s house....honest!) who seem to be employing researchers to find more and more obscure incidental music. The cable channels similarly seem to pick increasingly out-there sounds to back the links between different shows. More and more you will see compilations like Popshopping favourably reviewe= d in shamelessly dance orientated magazines like Jockey Slut as well as more "fashion" oriented arty-mags like Sleaze Nation. I am unlucky enough to recall the easy-listening revival of some five years ago now when Mike Pops & the Gentle People (who admittedly weren't that bad= ) brought a horrible knowing smirk to our view of the past which was fashionable for about two months. Those of us who were genuine fans of the ear-otic delights of the past were left to continue with our passions while those who moved on to the next fad laughed at our hopelessly unwith-it tastes. Now I think it safe to say that this current resurgence of interest is precisely that, genuine interest and appreciation. The lazy "ironic" mask has been left to one side and if any label has to be ascribed it might be more appropriate to claim that it is post-ironic irony....they are actually SERIOUS.

Like his screwball, one-of-a-kind music, Juan Garcia Esquivel's looks had a slightly out-of-this-world quality. His smooth jawline and sensuous mouth evoked the cliched image of a suave Latin Lothario. But his thick, horn-rimmed glasses and tail-fin ears gave him the geeky appearance of some distant kinsman of Buddy Holly, or perhaps an interstellar higher life form masquerading as a Las Vegas lounge lizard. The creative tension between these dueling personas is revealing, not only about the eccentric bandleader-composer-pianist, who died earlier this month at his home in Mexico at age 83, but about the way Esquivel's wacky oeuvre has been repackaged by various listeners to meet their own psychocultural needs. To hard-core devotees, Esquivel was a visionary, a recording artist whose quirky wit and technical proficiency spawned new musical hybrids in the 1950s and '60s. In a way, he can be seen as the godfather of today's hip-hop samplers and electronica wizards, a musical pack-rat who collected strange noises from across the planet and wove them into kooky, catchy sound collages. John Zorn, the avant-garde saxophonist and composer, has described Esquivel as "a genius arranger" who "created a beautiful pop mutation." But in the last decade, after disappearing from the pop landscape, Esquivel received a startling make-over. Plucked from bargain-bin obscurity, he became a talisman of the so-called Cocktail Nation movement, a mostly nostalgic exercise in drinking, dressing up in vintage clothes and grooving to the sounds of yesteryear. In that process, Esquivel's aggressively weird, experimental canon, with its bizarre instrumental combinations and heart-stopping dynamic shifts, was recast as "space age bachelor pad music," the ultimate aural aphrodisiac for young urban sophisticates. Today, in record stores, you'll find his discs innocuously shelved under "Easy Listening." Meanwhile, Hollywood, where Esquivel labored for years, also has rediscovered his music, inserting it into films such as the Coen brothers' "The Big Lebowski" and "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America." A movie based on his life, starring John Leguizamo, is in the works. How come the revival? Maybe because his prescient music triggers both nostalgia for a stylish, hi-fi past, and optimistic faith in a glowing, sci-fi future. "He was an entertainer before he was a composer," says Byron Werner, an L.A. artist who began collecting Esquivel's out-of-print LPs in the late '70s and distributing tapes to friends like "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening. It also was Werner, a digital artist in special effects who has worked on movies like "Star Wars" and "Titanic," who coined the term "space age bachelor pad music" to describe the composer's extraterrestrial sound. A sly intellect matched to an exuberant temperament, Esquivel was a brilliant-plumed serpent in the garden of Eisenhower-era America, tempting middle-class suburbanites with strange new tastes. Known professionally by his surname, with an exclamation point affixed (Esquivel!), he concocted a life and an art that suggested a series of amusing question marks. Born on Jan. 20, 1918, in Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico, he led big bands, scored for film, TV and radio, dressed like a '50s matinee idol, palled around with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Liberace and was said to have married six times (most recently his 25-year-old health-care aide). His renown as a ladies' man was frequently noted by the press and experienced firsthand by female reporters. "He would keep male journalists on the phone for 30 minutes, the ladies two hours. And at the end he would tell them, 'You are mucha muchacha,'" says Irwin Chusid, a New Jersey-based music historian who served as Esquivel's manager in the last years of his life. Chusid also produced two Esquivel CDs for the Bar/None label, "Esquivel! Space Age Bachelor Pad Music," and a follow-up, "Esquivel: Music From a Sparkling Planet," which together have sold more than 100,000 copies. But Esquivel's colorful personality and active libido were mere sideshows to his emphatic artistry. A prodigy who put together his first 15-piece ensemble when he was just 17, Esquivel was already a legend of Mexican TV, radio and nightclubs when RCA Victor brought him under contract to the United States in 1958. Working in both Hollywood and New York, he found mass-market success composing TV scores ("The Bob Cummings Show," "The Tall Man"), appeared on television himself and put together a successful stage show, "The Sights and Sounds of Esquivel," in Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas. Continually sampling from a musical palette that included Latin, pop, folk, avant-garde and even classical influences, Esquivel produced a body of work that was playful, exciting, always unpredictable and at least a quarter-century ahead of its time. While he also wrote and played music, his true genius lay in his idiosyncratic arrangements, mostly of well-known jazz tunes and pop standards--"Begin the Beguine," "Baia," "Sentimental Journey." Armed with an engineering degree and fascinated with the ear-tickling possibilities afforded by new stereophonic sound equipment, Esquivel used multi-track recording, echo-chamber effects, exotic instruments like the theremin (later made famous by the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations") and ambient dissonance to create surreal, futuristic soundscapes. In a famous illustration of his meticulous technique, he recorded the 1962 album "Latin-Esque" using two orchestras seated in separate RCA studios a block apart in Hollywood, so as to obtain the "purest stereo separation," Chusid says. On the new frontiers of '60s orchestral sound, Esquivel was an intrepid pioneer. Anticipating world beat's sonic eclecticism, Esquivel sampled slide guitar, Chinese bells, jew's-harp, gourds, a timbal here, a mariachi trumpet there. His timing couldn't have been better: U.S. servicemen and women returning from World War II brought home a penchant for "exotic" sounds, everything from Weimar cabaret ballads to Polynesian folk tunes. But while it's possible to pinpoint a "Latin" sound in his music, Esquivel's cosmopolitan sensibility upended ethno-musical marketing categories. "Juan did not want to be considered a 'Mexican' bandleader," says Chusid. "He felt that his music had a more pan-galactic flavor." Eschewing the silly romantic sentiments of mainstream pop, Esquivel replaced lyrics with whistling or humming, augmented by nonsensical choruses of "Zu-zu-zu" and "Pow! Pow! Pow!" His absurdist sense of humor, compressed into short sound bursts, gave his music a cartoon-like animation. But a haunting, minor-key undertow can be felt in his arrangement, say, of "Begin the Beguine," whose ghostly chorus and spooky xylophones bring to mind a tuxedoed big band of Day of the Dead skeletons. Another of Esquivel's sonic signatures was his skilled manipulation of dynamic extremes. Mischievously, he'd draw listeners in with hushed voices and soft notes, then crank up the brass to Wagnerian intensity. Like a well-mixed highball, his music goes down smoothly, but with a wicked kick somewhere along the way. After divorcing his then-wife, singer Yvonne DeBourbon, in 1978 and returning to Mexico, Esquivel gradually fell off the American pop-culture radar screen. But a revival was soon underway, led by artist Werner and his friends. At the time, Werner was seeking an alternative to the insipid pop-rock of the early '70s and the aesthetic tyranny of the record industry. To Werner, Esquivel's music embodied a kind of Kennedy-esque optimism and drive. In the '90s, that perky fortitude caught the ear of the Cocktail Nation, a loose confederation of post-grunge 20- and 30-somethings eager to recapture the glamour of a bygone era, if only for the space of a happy hour. With the gals sporting Jackie-O 'dos and cocktail dresses and the guys in Brylcreemed hair and sport coats, Cocktail Nation clubbers favored Atomic Age styles and retro-cool sounds. The Cocktail phenomenon has accommodated a dizzying array of styles--Denny's high-camp exotica, Julie London's torchy vocals, Dino and Frank's lush-life anthems, Nino Rota's film scores for Fellini and Burt Bacharach's mellow West Coast turtleneck pop. A handful of neo-retro bands like Combustible Edison, Love Jones and the Swamp Zombies have lent an inspired, contemporary twist to the Lounge Movement's swizzle-stick gestalt. It didn't take long for the mass marketplace to catch on. Soon Neiman Marcus was selling smoking jackets and liquor companies were sponsoring cocktail parties. Esquivel's music was one of many elements that got swirled into the slushy concoction of the "swank" lifestyle, which peaked in the late '90s. Now that Esquivel is gone and the Cocktail movement seems to be fading, it may be easier to imbibe his music straight, without distractions. A trapezoid peg who still refuses to fit into the square hole of prepackaged trends, Esquivel insists on being listened to carefully, not served up as an audio-aperitif to the rhythm of clinking martini glasses. "I think that the people that were attracted to it as a fad, they've already left," Werner sums up. "And I hope those who were really interested in the music will keep listening to it." Esquivel fans would drink to that. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "cheryl" Subject: (exotica) Playlist for Space Bop, January 20 Date: 19 Jan 2002 21:36:56 -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.

But now I have on loan some CDs of mp3s (thanks, D!), many ripped at far higher rates that 160kbps. My question: what really is the optimum bitrate?

Some folks computers have a hard time with playing variable bit rate files, and I know it isnt the best if you plan on posting the files on the web, but for archiving sake it works for me. -jonathan _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question Date: 26 Jan 2002 12:08:06 EST In a message dated 1/26/02 10:45:10 AM, jonny_yuma@hotmail.com writes: << My question: what really is the optimum bitrate? >> a breakbeat artist based in Walla Walla # 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: "jonathan richardson" Subject: Re: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question Date: 26 Jan 2002 18:04:41 -0800 >In a message dated 1/26/02 10:45:10 AM, jonny_yuma@hotmail.com writes: > ><< My question: what really is the optimum bitrate? >> > >a breakbeat artist based in Walla Walla Walla Walla Choppa Choppa Bang Bang -jonny jonny _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Carl Howard Subject: Re: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question Date: 27 Jan 2002 01:17:50 -0500 Ha ha, very funny.

These are previously unreleased and not available on cd and can be found here: http://www.emusic.com/artists/21714/ There are at least 5 other MP3 albums coming out soon. The first two are "Gattonero" (Black Cat, a tv feature all about cats!) and "Amleto" (music for a documentary about Hamlet). Some of the other cds which haven't appeared yet on the site will contain more exotic stuff... there's a nice indian/tibetan themed album ("Namaste", used to comment a short film) which contains sitar samples and bits of 1940s jazz records. regards, Nicola DjB # 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: "Maurizio Mansueti" Subject: (exotica) Video interview with Goblin Date: 27 Jan 2002 18:35:29 +0100 Ciao, this is ErMan from the music band The Transistors. A little news for all the people who likes the world of movie soundtracks like us. Some months ago Luke and ErMan (The Transistors) met Goblin at the Trafalgar Studio in Rome, where Goblin made their great soundtracks for Dario Argento's movies as "Profondo Rosso", "Suspiria", "Buio Omega", "Zombi". Our interview with Goblin was filmed and recorded for Il Giaguaro Magazine, but now it's possible to find it inside the cd reissue of a Goblin rarity "Il fantastico viaggio del Bagarozzo Mark" thanks to Cinevox records. It's a great pleasure for us to have a little part in this reissue: a little homage to all Goblin fans like us! ErMan ___________________________________ [ ::.

I'm quite new to the exotica/lounge genre, digging it, wanting more, but not having clue what to be looking for. I'm hoping you all can make some suggestions as to what I might try and seek out... So far, I prefer (and I'm not even sure what terminology to use here) 50's/early 60's pop jazz that really swings, prefer instrumentals to vocals - kinda swingy and swanky beatnik sort of stuff. The kind of stuff that I remember from old Popeye cartoon episodes when they were in beatnik clubs, everybody was saying things like "square" and "daddy-o" and the background music was really swingin. I've also been wearing out the tracks "Something For Cat" and "Loose Caboose" from Mancini's Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack, so maybe that lets you in on what kind of a taste-space I'm in. I also like Euro (French and Italian) stuff same type/same era, as well as 60's Euro film music, and Latin Jazz/Bossa stuff. Bongos are good. I'm also liking Les Baxter, Xavier Cugat, JG Esquivel, well, I could go on. Suggestions from all comers welcome. Would love to get some more Bob Thompson stuff... Does anyone know what's available from Rubin Mitchell? I'm really grooving on his version of "Mas Que Nada" from the Ultra-Lounge series, but having a devil of a time finding out what else he did. This may seem like an odd request - but does anyone know where I could find out a complete listing of all the music used in the "Ren and Stimpy" cartoon series? I know they used a lot of Raymond Scott as well as classical, but there is also some great pop jazz stuff that I would like to know more about - who did it, what it is, that sort of thing.

That being the case I'll recommend something I just recently got into -- music from the Japanimation cartoon 'Cowboy Bebop.' I would guess too that you would probably dig most stuff labeled as 'now sound' (regardless of the fact that this list can go on forever about what exactly now sound is). And you'll probably enjoy lots of the Easy Tempo compilations, Music for TV Dinners, and so on.

But nothing will help you as much as just lurking this list and gobbling up all of the musical references. These people are walking encyclopedias when it comes to music.
