The T prefix >> is the original -- then you have to designate label color and logo. > >Could you tell me what I should look for in a first issue in label color >and logo? Does it depend on the year it was released? Capitol 78's and 10" LP's (series H and L) had purple labels. Original Series T 12" LP's had a green label. H, L and T had the same logo - the word Capitol on top (with the Capitol rotunda and the 4 stars), as did Series W, which had a black label. When Capitol started issuing stereo records in '59 (I read that they were the last company to do so, even though they were recording in stereo experimentally since '56, because they thought it was a fad), they added the ST prefix and issued the "rainbow ring" black label with the Capitol logo on the left. They switched this to their standard "rainbow ring" black label with the Capitol logo on top at the beginning of the 60's. Any 50's era record with this label is a later pressing. They switched to the light green label around '70 or so. The orange/yellow "swirl" labels on their '45's started sometime in the early 60's, probably '62. The 70's/80's reissues carried the M and SM (for stereo) prefix. Their labels were replicas of the originals, except that this time they were blue (sort of blue/grey). They also had 2 songs less than the originals, to save on publishing royalties as these were budget line reissues. In the case of the Sumac records, the original issues were the 78 & 45 RPM box sets, followed by the 10" albums of "Voice of Xtabay"(H-244) and "Inca Taqui"(L-243). They were issued on each side of a 12"(W-684). This was followed by "Legend Of the Sun Virgin" (T-299), "Mambo" (T-564), "Legend Of the Jivaro" (T-770) and "Fuego del Ande" (T-1169/ST-1169). And, oh yeah, "Voice of Xtabay/Inca Taqui" was reissued in Duophonic (Capitol's bizarre fake stereo) in '63 (DW-684) !!!!

Anyone know where and what this is? Go. Go. Go. Just went to Marion's over the weekend and had a SWELL time, mainly 'cause Ty the wonder goddess was tending bar. It's on 3rd Ave. near 4th Street, a few blocks from where STOMP is playing (which is lots 'o fun, as well). The tiki/polynesian motif is a go, they refer to it as their "Kahiki" theme. If you're REALLY nice to Ty (I was), she'll go in the back to bring out her pride and joy: a porcelain cocktail glass in the shape of a Japanese woman in ceremonial garb--the drink is filled from her back, the straw becomes a sort of oar for her hands, there's a little hole near her head for the umbrella and when you drink from the straw, you can't help but give her a kiss. Other patrons kept sending the drinks back because they were too strong; somehow Katie and I didn't seem to mind... The best martini, mai tai, pina colada, and passion flower that we ever had (because of the ambiance, mostly). One of the other bartenders has made a great poly tape that they play, with Baxter/Lyman/Denny hits plus other unidentifiables. We nearly went next door to the patio place for dinner, but after they told us it would be an hour wait (at 10 p.m.!!!) we went BACK to Marion's for dinner. The mahogany clams with garlicky linguine did not disappoint. By the way, it's not a club; it's a relaxing place where you can hang your hat and sip from a ceramic pineapple.

Besides being an >absolutely lovely record, the cover is stunning!.... Continuing along with the silver foil covers, do not forget "One Step Beyond", presented by Alcoa. Symphony Orchestra conducted by Harry Lubin. One Step Beyond was a television show which ran from 1959 thru 1961. John Newland directed and hosted this series of tales of the occult and supernatural. Confrontations with ghosts and various forms of ESP were frequent themes, and the stories were always told with a suitably eerie and mysterious air. Sponsored by Alcoa, the series was also titled Alcoa Presents. The tracks that open each side, "Fear" and "Weird", are about as creepy as creepy can get. I get the willies just thinking about them! The rest of the album is not bad, but not nearly as haunting.

Date: 02 Aug 1996 04:41:40 -0500 I hope this list is a place where we can get into a deeper discussion of musical and social esthetics and I think Jill's comments recently about A. Lyman and the reactions it provoked point to a distinction of taste or shall I be so bold as to say "camps" amongst the fans and followers of exotica and easy listening . Its nice to hear about everyone's recent find's, Label Reps recent reissues releases available for purchase and recently re-discovered stars of exotica etc. whose comments are available to all with web access. But what's it all about? How do we feel about all this music, why are we interested, what's are emotional connection to it!? I truly believe music, all music is about communicating human emotion from the profound to the banal, as do the other arts . But, What is it about this broad genre of exotica & easy-listening once generally considered banal that is now moving us all in a profound way in 1996? How does our desire for things and time lost, never to be regained play into our attraction? For the retro, nostalgic. I don't have any answers myself at this moment (It's 4 AM and it's been a long day) But music is a very important part of my life as I'm sure it is for many of you, otherwise you wouldn't be participating in this conference. So I through it out for all of us; what do you feel when you listen to your records, what do you think of, where do your daydreams take you when you listen? Why do you like what you hear? How do you distinguish between what's 'good" exotica/ easy-listening and "bad", what does it mean to you, thanks... and to all, a good night, Jonny Sender -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: anita_serwacki@newline.com (ANITA SERWACKI) Subject: Re: MARION'S Date: 02 Aug 1996 11:35:04 -0400 For anyone who's interested in a little history, way back in the day, when Marion's was owned by Marion herself, it was a favorite NY haunt of the likes of Cary Grant and Dean Martin.

I learned a long time ago that it isn't the '60s anymore. This isn't sci-fi, but "Harriet the Spy" has some incredible music.

"RCA Victor 'Pop' Showcase in Sound" featuring selections from "Havana 3am" "The Drum Suite" and "Music For Bachelors", among others. Jackie Gleason "Music, Martinis & Memories" Joe Harnell & His Orch. "The sound of the Asphalt Jungle" (don't know anything 'bout this but seems like a crime-jazzish concept album - with liner notes like "a dreamworld of shadows and sinister movement; an empty silence, where lonliness screams in the night; a raw-nerved precipice over which an endless stream of humanity crashes" - it's gotta be good). "Remember How Great?" a Lucky Strikes promo album featuring Xavier Cugat, Les Brown, Dinah Shore & Cab Calloway. A series of generic production music records from the early 60's with cues titled "Emotional Disturbance" "Occupational Therapy" and "Happy Family" - Have high hopes for this. All above in M- condition except for a weird Decca record I picked up that's beat to shit, but on one side is James Mason reading Edgar Allan Poe stories with Buddy Cole playing organ in the background - other side is Agnes Moorehead reading "Sorry Wrong Number".

Time for me to jump in. I've worked with the man for three years and I must say he's been a wonderful guy... He's easy going, very witty with a great (sometimes bizarre) sense of humour. I've never asked him about The Transformed Man but it fits right in with what else he finds funny... Professionally and personally he's been excellent. Believe it or not, the man is the exact opposite of all the press you read about him. Like you, I had heard for years that he was a terror and before we met I was pretty nervous, but he turned out to be very different than my expectations. It just goes to show you, you can't believe everything you read in the liner notes! Final word, he's like someone's dad, only cooler. -- Derek Grime EMail: derek@coredp.com C.O.R.E.

Well this one is a good start and it seems to be fairly common, I've seen it a lot. I have a large number of Jackie Gleason and other thrift store albums and Music, Martinis & Memories is the one I reach for anytime my nerves are frazzled due to too little sleep or other bodily abuse. Also keep an eye out for "That Moment" - Jackie even painted the cover abstract oil painting. And "Ooo" his choral album is great, a cross between his typical stuff and Ray Coniff. He's got a million of 'em-- "Lonesome Echo" with the Dali cover, "For Lovers Only," "Music to make you Misty," "Night Winds," "Velvet Brass," and that's just the tip of the iceberg. His Christmas album is handy to have because it fits the bill for the corny old stuff my relatives expect to hear around that time, but I find I can listen to it over and over without it seeming like chinese water torture. Most of his stuff I find is best described as "lilting", with the exception of a few-- "Velvet Brass" is rather brash, for example. I'd pass on the more modern compilation CD's though, for some reason I've found they don't work as well if they aren't in the original groupings of songs on the original albums. Possibly because they jump around from mood to mood too much, and the original album combinations are a lot better at staying consistent in that regard. Music Martini's and Memories has been released CD as has "Velvet Brass," the twofer "Music to make you Misty"/"Night Winds" and there may be others. I just picked up a strange one of his, it's obviously a later one, though I can't find a date. "Jackie Gleason The NOW Sound...For Today's Lovers" Subtitled - The Gleason Strings with Sitar and other exotic instruments. It's a bit odd-- the typical lilting Gleason music with tabla, kalimba, dharma bells, gamelan gongs, etc. softly in the background or periodically come to the forefront as the strings quiet down, though it's a weird combination, it still has that typical Gleason eeeeeeaaaaaaasssssyyyy listening feel. The liner notes have a quote from Shakespeare and Lao Tzu, along with a definition of dharma. Songs include "Yesterday," "Goin' out of my head," "Moon River," "Can't take my eyes off of you." The bits of sitar and tabla in the background definately give them a slightly twisted feel. I gather some out their on the exotica list find Gleason completely boring, but I think he's far from that-- what he is is subtle. I find his stuff every bit as humorous as Esquivel, only Gleason doesn't beat you over the head with it, it creeps up on you. Both Esquivel and Gleason are obviously having fun with their music. I've also found Gleason's stuff stands the test of time, I picked up my first album of his (Music Martini's and Memories) some ten or more years ago while combing the thrifts for Exotica, and I still play his stuff quite often. Sometimes I imagine I'm riding in an elevator or am in a waiting room in the '50s or early '60s when I'm listening to it-- other times it makes great romantic background music. It's particularly good at parties because it doesn't compete with the conversation, yet it sets a definite mood, a time trip back to about 1960.

How do you distinguish between what's > 'good" exotica/ easy-listening and "bad"... This question is interesting in the light of the recently mentioned Gleason and Lyman. For me their music, more than others I've heard, conjures up the sort of faux nostalgic images and atmosphere you spoke of (I think of smokey lush reddish hued sparingly lit interiors filled with glass clinking and lanquid looks when listening to Gleason (close description of some of the covers) and full blown tiki/poly decor with waterfalls, birds, and greenery while listening to Lyman). I don't exactly yearn for these places, but the music makes me want to (Gleason didn't do anything at all for me the first couple of listens, still not a favorite, but...) And for 60's moddish moods there's Sergio Mendes or Roy Budd (never understood the flap about Sound Spectrum, I think it's great! - Recently saw Speakin' of Spokin' being performed in a film, can't remember the name of it...) Ultimately though, in any subgenre of exotica/easy, the records that get the most replay here are the ones that I like strictly for the music. The context/time in which it was made is secondary and unecessary for enjoyment - Perrey's In Sound and Happy Moog are timeless to me. As for the goo/bad exotica question, I'm not sure what you mean, but my tastes have differed in a big way from those dominant on the list a number of times - Bang, Baroom and Harp, and even Spaced Out don't rank too high for me, but who cares? I listen to what I like, which more often than not is at least a little twisted, clever, wicked. kevin king xanadu@radix.net http://www.radix.net/~xanadu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dtaub@dewey.csun.edu (Daniel Taub) Subject: A couple of questions... Date: 03 Aug 1996 14:25:06 -0700 Hey kids! Here's a couple question, one relating to an already present thread, and one not: 1. I notice that in addition to Scamp's "And Awaaaay We Go" compilation of Gleason music/skits, there's also a Razor and Tie compilation out now too. Has anyone heard either/both of these? Opinions? Is one better than the other? Are both good? Are both bad? What's the hubbub, bub? 2. There are now three (three!) Dean Martin "best of's" out on Capitol. There's the Capitol Collector's Series collection from a few years ago, there's one called "That's Amore" and now there's the two-cd "Capitol Years" one. There's seems to be some crossover of songs within the three, but none is all-inclusive. So which is the best? Which is most representative? If one were to get only one, which should s/he pick? Thanks for answering these questions. By the way, picked up the "Zounds! What Sounds! / Music From a Surplus Store" CD today and am listening to it right now! It's wacky-good fun! Sounds like fairly good quality too, especially for being a bootleg.

If I want 'nostalgia', then I can watch 'Happy Days', the 'Partridge Family' or any of that other schlock that I grew up with. And with the use of samplers, computers and synth pop machines, a lot of today's crap sounds boring to me. The introduction of stereo and the sound effects created manually (and not by machine) in the "live" studio, creates effects that do not seem to have been repeated with today's technology. There are rumblings for a return to analog (as opposed to digital) because many people feel that it best re-creates the sound, that was intended in a more natural way. > I don't have any answers myself at this moment (It's 4 AM and it's been a >long day) But music is a very important part of my life as I'm sure it is for >many of you, otherwise you wouldn't be participating in this conference.

That feeling one get's on a tropical isle, in a jungle or even evoking New York night life of the 50s, with the penthouse looking out over a dark Manhattan skyline. If it brings out that wonderful rush of feeling towards those types of things, then it's good exotica. Bad exotica leaves me cold and flat. If I feel ziltch or am bored by where this music is taking me, then it does nothing for me. The musicians are just going through all the motions. Bad exotica can be just as flat as today's typical AM/FM schlock. I hope this makes more sense.

Thanks to Tony Mottola, who sent me a Project 3 catalogue, the Enoch Light site now has a hugely updated (and virtually complete) Project 3 LP discography.

I agree with that somewhat. I would perfer albums released on CD with a couple of bonus tracks thrown in, rather than compilations. But if compilations is all we can expect to come out on CD, then it's better than nothing. Excessive "No-Noise" does take some of the life out of the music, but I think some filtering is necessary in order to remove the excessive tape-hiss that would otherwise detract from the sound. Filters can be used effectively in the hands of a good sound engineer who know what he's doing. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them out there who don't.

The guy didn't know what he had and I grabbed a whole bunch of 10" 33 1/3 lps (mostly local Australian pressings) for $1.50 each. "Tawny" - Jackie Gleason "Jackie Gleason plays Romantic Jazz" "Holiday Party" Ruth Wallis and on 12" "Voices In Latin" - the 4 Freshmen "Music for Dining" - Readers' Digest which includes versions of Baxter's "Quiet Village" and Grouya & Anderson's "Flamingo" "Sea of Dreams" - Nelson Riddle "The Nelson Riddle Orchestra Swings In Stereo" "On The Rocks" - Bob Thompson his chorus & orchestra. Next week I'm picking up a Japanese CD of a '50s album by Dolores Gray. If you don't know who she is, check out the '50s movie "Kismet" where she plays the Wazir's wife.

To be fair, though, it's really not a bad song! If I could do this without sounding like a fanatic, I'd like to clear up = a few points: --The Tate murders had nothing to do with Terry Melcher. "The Family" = was well aware that Melcher wasn't living at the Cielo Drive house at = the time of the murders. --Melcher recorded nothing more than some demos. The LIE album (which = had a limited legit release of 2,000 or so copies) was produced by Phil = (his last name escapes me at the moment). There've been bootleg albums, = cassettes and CDs. I believe that some time in the near future White = Devil Records is releasing a CD mastered from the original tapes. --A lot of the music in the "Manson" documentary was not Manson's songs, = but recordings by Paul Watkins & another former "Family" member. (The = ones with mostly flute and guitar). --"Never Learn Not to Love" takes elements from Manson's "Cease to = Exist," but is certainly not a cover song (they even changed the lyrics = to "cease to resist").

I think music has a powerful ability to conjur up nostalgic emotions. The songs, I heard in high School, the first 7" single I bought ("Midnight Confession" by the grass roots) The comercials for big band popular music from the 1940 that would run on TV in the 1970s. I think hearing thos sons must have had a big emotional wollop for people watching it who we're in thier teens and 20's during WWll. Anyway, thats kind of more more what I meant.

I've heard a couple names scattered around, but nothing I've been able to find. I'd like more of the 101 Strings style, also like the Nirvana Sitar and String Group track off Incredibly Strange Music vol 2. (I've got some Ravi Shankar to cover the non-loungey, more classical side of things). I know these records will be hard to find but I'm expecting that the more names I know, the more likely it is that I'll come across something in my record shopping excursions. A bit off topic: Besides the new 101 Strings and Les Baxter CDs from Scamp, WKPS got in something called The Poppy Family this week. It's on March, a label that usually releases indie-pop. (This is kind of like TeenBeat releasing a CD compilation of another obscure 60s/70s group called The Feminine Complex.) It's not loungey, reallly, and it's even a bit of a stretch to call it easy listening, but it's pretty good and there is _excellent_ use of sitar and Indian percussion. -Jordana _____________________ jordana robinson jbr109@psu.edu image & direction www.geocities.com/SoHo/2157 _____________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: johan.devis@ping.be (Johan Dada Vis) Subject: Re: Les Baxter "African Blue/Colors of Brazil" Date: 04 Aug 1996 19:45:54 +0100 i have to agree with Jill: these are not bad, but not very good either, nothing really special, just nice music with an exotic touch. = Johan |)/\|)/\ Vis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "kevin king" Subject: Re: sitar explosion Date: 04 Aug 1996 14:31:30 -0500 > I've been meaning to ask this for a little while now, but Jack Diamond's > show listing and listening to "Karma Sitar" on the new 101 Strings reissue > (finally, thank you) reminded me - can anyone suggest some sitar-heavy mid > 60s stuff?

Hi Jordana-- This is one of _my_ favorite topics and listening passions too. I'm happy to promote advanced Sitar-Pop listening :). So here's my list for you, I hope it helps. I'm surprised that there hasn't more banter about sitar pop on this listing. Maybe it's more of the strange than exotica and they _are_ rare too. *Lord Sitar/Lord Sitar on Capital *Ananda Shankar/Ananda Shankar on Reprise *Big Jim Sullivan/Sitar Beat on Mercury *The Living Guitars/Let it Be and Other Hits on RCA *San Francisco Nights/The Living Guitars on RCA Rajput and the Sepoy Mutiny-Flower Power Sitar on Design Vincent Bell/The Electric Sitar on Decca DL Golden Leaves/A Love Affair on Challenge George Martin/London By George on United Artists Balsara and his Singing Sitars on World Record Club (shown in ISM Vol. 2) Vinne Bell/Pop Goes the Electric Sitar on ??? *Buddy Rich and Alla Rakha on World Pacific (this is stretching it a little) ...and you mentioned the 101 Strings and every now and then Vinnie Bell plays on an Enoch Light LP such as Permissive Polypnonics I think and another one called Underground Guitars, I'll have to look. I have the ones above with *. I see The Living Guitars around, their sound is a little simplistic which I like. The Ananda Shankar LP has moog as well-the best of strange IMHO!

I'm not talking about finding them for two bits in a thrift bin, either. I'm talking about collectors themselves who rarely advertise them. I did finally pick up Gabor Szabo's Jazz Raga from Jack just the other day. Gabor does his guitar thing and overdubs the sitar. Made in 1966, it includes Paint It Black and Caravan.

Vroom vroom! Sounds too cool. Probably the best of my few, very few sitar records was actually found for a buck. I was told by a friend who's also into Indian music that it was recently played on National Public Radio and described as the first Western (American?) recording of Indian classical music. It's called Music of India on the Angel label and features Ustad Ali Akbar Khan on sarod. One side is a morning raga, the other an evening raga. It was sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art and has brief explanatory intros by Yehudi Menuhin on each side. I'm judging from the dates on the included articles that this was made in 1955. I know this is far from what's usually discussed here, but I thought it might be of interest to this thread. kevin king xanadu@radix.net http://www.radix.net/~xanadu Need help?

Note that the title track is used in Ed Wood the movie, or it sounds pretty damn close. Another album that is just as good is Robert Drasnin's Percussion Exotique, with the ususal eerie female wailing on several tracks. It is also on cool yellow vinyl. An album that will be of interest to those who like lounge vocals is James Brown's Getting Down To It. His band is a three piece jazz group, the Dee Felice Trio, and they crank out songs like Sunny, That's Life, Strangers in the Night, Chicago, All the Way, It Had to Be You, etc. The standouts are, of course, Cold Sweat, There Was A Time, and (I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons.

It's difficult to pay $40 for something when you know you probably couldn't get anything near that if you tried to sell it outside the country. I hear stories these days of top-flight club djs in Montreal paying young clubkids to spend their days at thrift stores hunting down exotica records they can work into their mixes. That's a little unnerving. I don't know if there are any other Montreal-area people on this list (besides Andrew), but I caught a very nice trio (The Stephen something trio . . . sorry, that's all I can remember) at Jello Bar, Montreal's premiere neo-cocktail lounge, last Monday. The recorded music before and after was dreadful (Bob Marley, for christ's sake!), but the trio played light bossa nova and samba, and it felt like a nightclub scene from Blake Edwards' Gunn.

This wasn't an exotica/lounge record (BUT, a group very influenced by Martin Denny)... a couple years ago I spent $100.00 on Throbbing Gristle's _2nd Annual Report_, first pressing on Industrial Records. VERY hard to find record (never seen one besides mine), and they only pressed 785 copies. Don't regret spending a dime of that $100... Now, the best record bargain I probably ever got may have come today... An absolutely mint copy (here we go... more fuel for the fire) of Arthur Lyman's _Taboo_ for only $2.00 at an antique store. A few weeks ago I fetched a very respectable copy of Martin Denny's _Quiet Village_ for 95 cents. Pretty darn good deal. On to other things... Can anyone give me some impressions of Jean-Jacques Perrey and in particular, his album _Moog Indigo_? Saw one for sale... looked interesting... Also... can someone fill me in on this _Vampiros Lesbos_ album? Is this a soundtrack to a movie, re-release, new material? What do you guys think of it...?

I'd suppose you'd kill me if I told you I paid 50 cents for a NM copy in El Paso, Texas (where I live). Of course, no one (with the exception of Latin stuff) has any good taste here. That's why I've found wacked-out albums likeRuth Welcome's "Zither Magic", Colonel Sander's "Tijuana Picnic", "Percussive Moods" by Johnny Keaton's Kombo and "Blowin' In The Wind" by Arthur Lyman Combo for a buck each.

Cohen was a trombonist with the Charley Barnet, Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey bands. This album is recorded with Roomful of Blues and is really swingin'! Also have to give a huge thumbs up for firehouse/ragtime/swing combo Squirrel Nut Zippers... their second album, "Hot" is one of the best (new) things I've heard all year.

These and some other musicians including Tom Scott (yes he from the short lived Chevy Chase Show Orchestra! that musta been an awful gig... I hope it payed well ), Milt Holland, Don Ellis and Paul Horn made up a regretably unrecorded group called the Hindi Jazz Ensemble. They were all students of Ravi Shankar in 1965. Many interesting records contain these musicians in various permutations including The Surfmen 'Exotic Island' on Somerset P-10500 which also included Alvino Ray, and many TV and movie soundtracks. But back to sitars and EZ-jazz, there is a Tom Scott and the California Dreamers 'Honeysuckle Breeze' with songs like Blues for Hari, Mellow Yellow etc. also on Impulse A-9163. Mike Melvoine (sessions for Brian Wilson) also plays on these Impulse releases. Some of this music is a bit more jazz than lounge but plenty of sitar. Not to mention Bill Plummer and the Cosmic Brotherhood also on Impulse A-9164. There are interesting related recordings by others like Don Ellis (Star Children on Columbia) or Steve Marcus 'Tomorrow Never Knows' on Vortex 2001 which also had covers of Eight Miles High and Rain... this one is from the Herbie Mann bunch on the East coast (he has made many interesting EZ-jazz LPs himself often with a North African theme like 'African Suite' on UA L4042 and 'Impressions of the Middle East' on Atlantic 1475 This area of light jazz exotica mixed with covers of psychedelic standards amuses me. There are many cool takes on Donovan songs like Three King Fishers or Ferris Wheel scattered throughout Gabor Szabo records. There is also an entire series of Bob Shad productions on Mainstream with big band versions of Journey to the Center of the Mind, Dandelion, White Room, Ruby Tuesday, Whole Lotta Love, Alice's Resataurant etc.etc. These are scattered over a few LPs, each with a different orchestra leader but similar gatefold covers which can easily be identified by the graphic on the heel and the fact that they are a "Red Lion Production". I know I've drifted off topic so... A real classic in the sitar genre which is not at all jazz and does fit with the exoticness of this list is 'The Lotus Palace' Alan Lorber Orchestra (he who invented the Bosstown sound) on Verve V6-8711 and it is full of Colin Walcott on sitar and they do covers of Flute Thing, Lucy In the Sky, Hang on to a Dream, Up Up and Away etc. this is a classic in a similar vein to say Lord Sitar or George Martin does London... Any one know of any others in either of these 2 areas? I'm leaving for a month in a couple of days so please respond quickly... otherwise happy hunting till I get back. cheers peter Need help?

Date: 05 Aug 1996 07:26:58 -0700 Since no one answered either of these questions when I posted them a couple days back, and I know people on this list are neither rude nor ill-informed, I am assuming no one got the message. Therefore, here it goes again: 1. I notice that in addition to Scamp's "And Awaaaay We Go" compilation of Gleason music/skits, there's also a Razor and Tie compilation out now too. Has anyone heard either/both of these? Opinions? Is one better than the other? Are both good? Are both bad? What's the hubbub, bub? 2. There are now three (three!) Dean Martin "best of's" out on Capitol. There's the Capitol Collector's Series collection from a few years ago, there's one called "That's Amore" and now there's the two-cd "Capitol Years" one. There's seems to be some crossover of songs within the three, but none is all-inclusive. So which is the best? Which is most representative? If one were to get only one, which should s/he pick? Thanks for answering these questions. By the way, I picked up the "Zounds! What Sounds! / Music From a Surplus Store" CD the other day! They're both great, though I (like most people, I assume) am partial to "Zounds!" And they both sound fairly good for (presumably) being copied off vinyl.

This is only available on hifi/Rykodisc. Hi. There's quite a CD feeding frenzy on Lyman, isn't there? Yet among record collectors he's no big deal. What irks me is that the DCC cover (if that's the one) is lifted from the "Tabu" LP (Westminster), an Afro-Cuban piece by Ralph Font which hasn't a damn thing to with Lyman except the title. This seriously unimaginative trend, beginning with Baxter's "Space Escapade," is out of control. I've got all the original LPs in stereo as well as those of just about everyone else. Contact if you need research (on any artist or idiom) for artwork, bios, and discographies. Someday, given storage capacity, I'd like to see the nearly 40 or so original Lyman LPs and singles (only about 20 hours!) concatenated for continous play with all the original notes and art reproduced digitally. I sell/trade Lyman, Baxter, Denny, Prado, Sumac, Kitt, Miranda, etc. LPs , EPs, and singles. Will have a tiki site of my own soon, TBA. New to the Net, love to discover what other strange pop fans are up to.

It's on March, a label that usually releases indie-pop. (This is kind of like TeenBeat releasing a CD compilation of another obscure 60s/70s group called The Feminine Complex.) It's not loungey, reallly, and it's even a bit of a stretch to call it easy listening, but it's pretty good and there is _excellent_ use of sitar and Indian percussion. --------------- Interesting note: The Poppy Family features Terry Jacks, famous (or infamous) for his early 70's AM radio hit, Seasons in the Sun.

Velvet Brass is as it says, Veeelllvettte. So smooth. His now sound (with sitar) record is intersting. Also of interest are the one (title slipped my mind, now) with the Salvador Dali cover (actually did it for Gleason as original cover work!) which is cool, if only for the cover. And, though I haven't heard it, "OOooo!" is supposed to be a winner with female vocalise in the form of, you guessed it, "OOoooo." Not Esquivel or Bob Thompson by a long shot, mind you. Gleason certainly has some interesting moments. Someone here earlier described him as "subtle." That seems almost euphemistic to me... I would sooner say calm, almost catatonic. But, if you need that moment of sonic tranquility with nothing to suprise or startle you, Gleason's the GRATEST err, Greatest!

My name is Marcel and I live in Lambertville, NJ, just north of Trenton. My interest in "exotica" began with a love of big band music and old-time swing which led (somewhat inexplicably, I admit) to an interest in the Jobim/Getz school of lounge. Along the way I discovered Esquivel. When I heard Combustible Edison, I realized there may still be hope for the world. I am in a band called House of Swank. We favor the bossanova and I will keep you informed of our (somewhat limited) dates. I do not consider myself a record "collector" because I do not place a value on the physical package. I am interested only in the aural pleasure recordings provide. I was (briefly) a DJ on college radio and public radio and I once managed a small record store. I used to be in a band called Combo Holiday. I enjoyed Rhino's 3 CD "Cocktail Mix" collection, although I felt they leaned a little too far toward novelty selections. I'm just getting into Martin Denny and looking forward to Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter. Angelo Badalamenti's "Twin Peaks" scores are great (well pretty good anyway). Anybody else dig Devo's EZ Listening stuff? Sorry if I'm not up to speed, bear with me.

"Music Out of the Moon" (1946) and "Music For Peace of Mind"(1949), both on Capitol, came first. They are actually credited to Harry Revel. "Le Sacre du Savage", Baxter's first credited set, followed in '49. These were all originally issued as 78 box sets. "Perfume Set to Music" was released on RCA in '53 (on 10" LP), the same year Les released "The Passions" on Capitol. I don't know why the label switch happened for 1 record. BTW, there is a 78 of "Jet" (from "Perfume.."), that has a B-side called "Struttin' With Clayton", that is not on "Perfume......".( yes, it's a theremin cut with Hoffman; yes, it's great) There is also a Sam Hoffman 78 on Capitol without Les Baxter : "Moonlight Sonata" b/w "The Swan".

I thoroughly enjoy his albums "Shangri La" which has the extra treat of some electronic keyboard instrument on it in places, and "Peg O' My Heart" which is a little more pop-y. Shangri La is exotic harp. But, the greatest harp record of all time has got to be Dorothy Ashby's "Afro Harping." She is a jazz harpist who did a number of records on Cadet, all insanely hard to find. Afro Harping has a track called "Soul Vibrations" which is a jazz-funk/exotica track with her excellent harp and theremin (yes theremin) thrown in. Shiver me timbers if there ain't a Moog all over that record too... So far out, so far out.

Also, I have been lucky to find some gems in the collections fo my parents and other relatives. It's not as important to me if a record is in mint condition. As long as it's playable and doesn't skip a lot (especially if I'm going to play it on the radio, since my personal standards are probably lower than that of my audience), and the cover is in alright shape, then OK by me.

Will you describe it to me please ;)) Often I find that what is to my taste otherwise mediocre music is greatly improved by any of the following: 1. a string section 2. hand clapping 3. choruses that go "la, la la" or some such happy phrase 4. sitar/tabla This goes mostly for pop music, but by extension I think that though I find most Jackie Gleason stuff to be boring, Jackie Gleason with sitars would probably be pretty good. >What about Gabor Szabo's Jazz Raga on Impulse or does anyone have Bill >Plummers sitar record on Impulse to tell me about. >I'm not familiar with it at all. After all the great sitar-related discussion in the past couple of digests, I realized that I had seen Gabor Szabo's Jazz Raga at a local record shop. I beat it over there and realized, after a lot of confusion and disappointement that I had in fact 1. seen other, non-sitar Gabor Szabo records 2. seen a non-Szabo sitar jazz record 3. confused the 2 in my head and imagined I had seen Jazz Raga (even though I didn't remember a scooter on the cover, as was described) The unhappy result of all this is that I couldn't find the other random jazz sitar record, so someone probably bought it. Usually if you find something good in the record shops here, it's safe for a couple weeks. My "snatch it up immediately" reflex has thus been dulled by living here.

I found a website listing the use of Indian music in jazz, but it was mostly about jazz fusion, which I think is generally yucky and does not swing nearly enough for my tastes. At any rate, Peter and that website have given me a couple leads; I have to do a jazz show tomorrow (I am a Jill of All Trades at the radio station and besides lounge and indie, I sometimes cover jazz slots for people) so I will look through the station's collection for these artists. I doubt I'll find much, though I have stumbled across a couple late 60s/early 70s oddities and I could get lucky. -Jordana _____________________ jordana robinson jbr109@psu.edu image & direction www.geocities.com/SoHo/2157 _____________________ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Robbie Baldock" Subject: Surfin' with Dick Date: 06 Aug 1996 19:05:12 +0000 Hi all...

Date: 06 Aug 1996 15:31:33 -0400 Hello! We would like to introduce ourselves to everyone on this list. We are The Book Gallery, an internet store. One aspect of our site, Cool Culture Media, offers for sale albums and 8-tracks from the absurd, to the unusual, to the zany at the following url: http://www.eden.com/~bgg/culture/culture.html We have been reading everyone's postings with much interest and enjoyment. It's great to see such an open exchange of musical and technical information. The overall environment of this listing seems to be, in general, too, characterized with much mutual respect for everyone's interests. Quite refreshing. Oh, I also don't feel so guilty about liking Jackie Gleason now! The below album just arrived, and outside of an interest in selling it, I was wondering if anyone had ever encoutered it before; it seems quite unusual... Comstock, Frank. "Project Comstock." "Music From Outerspace" WB 1463 (1962). The rear cover says, "Frank Comstock creates other-worldly, dramatic musical conceptions of Music from Outer Space." It also states that he uses a Theremin which is "premeired" on this album (cool trivia if accurate!) "the rare Electric Violin" (really, rare in what context? The 60s?) and has such songs as.... "Stella by Starlight" "Galaxy" "From Another World" "On the Dark Side of the Moon" etc. I was also wondering if anyone had ever heard of Harry Owens and His Royal Hawaiians (yes, another album for sale)??? I don't know who this man is, but the photo on the back of the album --with him and three beautiful women-- shows a man that seems to have the sceret to all eternal happiness, judging by his facial expression.... Well, thanks for reading. Hope to keep learning more and being able to provide friendly, courteous and prompt service to all purveuyors of the unusual and off-track!

The 10" LP of "Perfume....." was released in 1952. And Kenneth Ellzey correctly pointed out what I forgot to write - that Billy May is the arranger/conductor of "Peace of Mind".

The soundtrack version is in a much higher key, and the voices seem more innocent and angelic. The rhythm section and guitar are buried in the mix, and the tempo is somewhat leisurely, just right for sunbathing in a bikini. The guitar, drums, and bass are much more prominent on the single version, naturally, and the tune rocks with a few tasty guitar fills. The voices are lower, and the girls seem older and deliciously bratty. You can almost hear them snapping their gum and rolling their eyes at the Humberts of the world. The Ventures' version is fine too, except they sing "Yeah Yeah" instead of "Ya Ya". All in all, a great song ! Hope the tune makes it into the upcoming movie remake.

Don't know much about Karla Pundit at all. Check out Victrola's site...the chaos kitty guy...I think there is a write up there. Need the address? As far as Korla Pandit goes, he has some new CD out..Exotic 2000...or something like that. Besides that, another collection of his early work was to be released earlier this year and I believe it is called Odyssey. I read it would include such LP's as Korla Pandit at the Pipe Organ, Latin Holiday and Music of the Exotic East. Where is it? I've never seen it. It was due last May. I have three l Korla Pandit records and never listen to them. On there other hand, I can't bring myself to get rid of them. They have beautiful photos of Korla on them and come in red or blue vinyl. Why don't I listen to them? Well, when I got my first Korla from Jack Diamond, he cautioned me that it was like funeral music and quite lame. Of course, I had to find out for myself...and I did. Sure 'nuf, it was lame. I find nothing "exotic" about his music at all...only Korla Pandit himself and his image are strange and mystifying. I'm listening to Latin Holiday right now. It is not unlike sitting on a horse on a merry-go-round! Don't get me wrong, Korla Pandit is a very talented musician. Watching his old television shows from the fifties are testimony to that. He plays the piano and organ at the same time...one hand on each! He also creates these unique percussion, bongo-like effects by playing his (pipe) organ like a drum! He uses the heel of his hand and forearms...really neat-o-keen. The videos of his show are available from Cult Movies in LA and are something else!!!! He stares into the camera with a mysterious gaze and occasionally cracks a small, sweet smile. Belly dancers, orchids and floating clouds add a mystic touch. Although he plays the same music as what's on the records, the visuals make a POWERFUL difference!!!! This really is essential viewing. A must. have a nice day :) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "kevin s. lee" Subject: Dorothy Ashby Date: 07 Aug 1996 10:39:26 EST harps again... I forgot who mentioned Dorothy Ashby in regards to harp exotica, but i found one of her records (very beat up unfortunately) recently, which is partly what inspired me to look for more harp stuff. i actually wasn't all too thrilled with the one i found (of course i forgot the title). it just sounded somewhat bland. no theremin or moog on this one. i'll have to keep an eye out, though. there seems to be so little harp music available that i'd try anything i could find. thanks for the suggestions so far, though. yeah, Robert Maxwell did the "Zing!

I find that the TV show soundtrack, while it does have a few interesting numbers, is largely uninteresting. The soundtrack to "Fire Walk With Me," however, has some of Badalamenti's most interesting work --everything from exciting, interesting jazz with a dark twist, to a *great* Little Jimmy Scott tune, to a Badalamenti vocal reminiscient of Tom Waits, except more evil. Anyway, I think overall the movie soundtrack is far more diverse and interesting than the TV soundtrack. Give it another listen -- you might be surprised.

I am willing to provide a copy for a tape trade with any like-minded perverse soul who's interested in exploring the musical possibilities of this tune--or who needs something to clear out a party early.

I love all of the Lynch soundtracks, but I think I prefer this one to Blue velvet, which everyone has been praising. The blue velvet one is cool, but I'm not mad about the classical theme tracks. Wild at heart has some corkers on it, especially 'smoke rings' by Glen Gray and the Casa Loma orchestra, that one they play when lula is standing up in the car by the gas station. By the way, my vote is for the Fire walk with me soundtrack in the Twin Peaks debate. The series one is good, but does contain 6 or so songs which are essentially the same.

However, you should be able to find any Mystic Moods record you want for about 25 cents at any local dirty pile of dusty records basement type place. Of all the Mystic Moods records, I found one with a New-Wave looking cover, no title that I can find on the cover anywhere. It has great funk/soul/jazz type stuff with Moog thrown in. The record looks really 80's, you can't miss it if you see it in a bin somewhere. My suggestion, don't bother with Mystic Moods on CD. They seem to have some strange appeal in Europe (Bear Family is German) along with James Last and Heino. All about equally as terrific when they are a quarter and painful when they are import CD's at 20 bucks? More? a pop...

Hello. IMHO, Midnight Video has the _best_ quality that you'll find; they actually care. VSoM has easily the worst. I've never seen a tape of theirs better than just "decent" quality, while I've seen many from them that are nearly unwatchable. I admit that their inventory is huge, but if you can find a title elsewhere, it will almost always be better quality. Right in their catalogue, in fact, they imply that just seeing a film is more important than the transfer's quality. Craig Ledbetter (and his excellent magazine European Trash Cinema) have splintered away from VSoM and he now sells excellent quality videos in the US$15-20 range. I've invited him to offer his services to the list. If you would like to contact him directly he's located at: 74563.1756@compuserve.com. I can vouch personally for the quality levels that I've mentioned. If anyone is looking for telephone numbers or addresses of any of the aforementioned companies, e-mail me directly: kmds@usa.nai.net. Good luck!

I had the same reaction...heard it...it kicks butt...gotta see it. So they are on video, but you may have to dig around to find an indie shop which rents 'em.

The Sights and Sounds of Esquivel! appeared on the Tonight Show once, in 1966. They played "Malague=F1a". NBC erased 90% of "The Tonight Show" tapes of the 60's sometime in the mid-70's. Esquivel's performance was wiped in that mass erasure. What makes it worse is that he told me it was an outstanding performance, although he had to fine Maria Caruso for frowning on camera. >I vaguely remember catching a bit of Ferrante & Teicher prepared piano on >a Steve Allen >rebroadcast.

Very cool even just to catch a glimpse of the Tornados playing "Telstar" or Freddy and the Dreamers romping around. But that's not the exotic part. They toss in a few items that aren't trailers (one an amazingly lush video - no other word for it - for Kay Starr's "Wheel of Fortune) and smack in the middle of the tape is what would be called a Nudie Roughie. It's titled "Girl in a Cage" and it is the most amazingly weird item. It's a jungle set, rocking agitated Las Vegas grind music with a cool electric guitar and a mesmerizing riff. In the jungle clearing is a bamboo cage with a Wild Woman in it. She's got long peroxide blonde hair, she's skinny, wearing a jungle outfit. She strips - equal parts Method Acting and Modern Dance - to the rocking beat, thrusting herself at the bamboo cage and finishes by jabbing herself repeatedly with a hypodermic needle (!?) Wild.

Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks will be playing (and looking for) gigs up and down the west coast in the month of September. Though I dislike press release jive, I couldn't come up with a better description: "Little Jack Melody formed his band of Young Turks in Denton, Texas in June of 1990 to take his iconoclastic brand of neo-cabaret to the world. They've been described as "Kurt Weill for the Tarantino age", tango-delic circus cabaret", and "Tom Waits meets Frank Sinatra." An acoustic minimalist orchestra, the instrumentation of LJM and His Young Turks is unique - harmonium, piano, organ, accordion, tenor banjo, tuba, saxes, drum kit, and vocal. Most of the band's repertoire is the original music of LJM, but they also cover everyone from Nena to Nino Rota, Petula Clark to Beethoven. The band's debut CD, On the Blank Generation, received rave reviews in a wide array of national publications, including an "All Things Considered" feature. World of Fireworks, the follow-up, was recently released by Carpe Diem Records." I first heard of the band from the All Things Considered, and I bought the CD on the strength of the few seconds of music they played. My first impression from On the Blank Generation was that Steve Carter (AKA Little Jack) and his cohorts were a melancholic lot, though definitely smart and swank. I played the CD a great deal, so I was delighted to help bring them to Olympia a couple of years ago. I worked like a pig on the show, and though the turn-out was small, the crowd was extremely enthusiastic. The Turks were smart and swank to be sure, but melancholic? They swung furiously, and they also tangoed with a vengeance. They are masters of the polka, the waltz, the beguine, and they rocked out. The show was the best I've seen in my life. I am very happy to again be able to play a role in bringing them to town this year, and I hope other people on this list will want to do the same thing for their towns. (I'm not a music business professional, and I'm not getting a penny for promoting this. I expect to expend a fair amount of pocket change on this project. This is a small town, and it's hard to break new acts in. One performance here a couple of years back hasn't helped a lot to create a lot of name recognition. I'm just jazzed to do this show because I love this music). If you live on the west coast, why not give Steve a call at (817) 387-1562 and see when he's coming to your town, or if you can schedule a show if one hasn't been booked in your town yet? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: viktrola@usa.nai.net Subject: Re: All Third Man, All the Time Date: 10 Aug 1996 18:06:12 -0500 >I just completed a 90-minute tape consisting of 32 different versions of >"The Third Man Theme."

Today I made a return pilgramage to my old favourite Edinburgh vinyl vault "Gramophone Emporium". I didn't even know if it was still running, having been flooded out at the start of the year. My timing was impeccable as today was the first day they were open in over 6 months!!!! Anyway, I did not badly: Enoch Light & related: Tony Mottola - Tony & Strings (Project 3) - Warm Wild & Wonderful (Project 3) - Tony's Touch (Grand Prix) Dick Hyman - Concerto Electro (Command) - Dick Hyman & His Trio (Command) Dick Hyman & Harpsichord - Happening! (Command) Doc Severinsen Sextet - Live! (Command) Misc oddities: Sid Bass - Sound & Fury (feat Urbie Green) Milt Buckner - Rockin' Hammond Ron Frangipane - Rated X for Excitement (feat Ron Frangipane on Moog, Vinnie Bell, and orchestra!) Harmonicats - Selected Favorites Woody Herman - Everest compilation - The Hits of... Stan Kenton - Fire, Fury & Fun - Kenton in Hi Fi Eddie Lund and his Tahitians - Haka Moko Billy May - Sorta-May various - !Wild! Stereo Drums (feat two kickin' Dick Harrell* tracks and versions of Baxter's 'Ting Ting Ting' and 'Uncle Tom Tom') various - Dancing Beat of the Swing Bands (feat Urbie Green, Buddy Morrow, Sid Ramin) Test records: audiotex Stereo Test Record (for Home and Laboratory Use) Shure audio obstacle course - era III (stereo tests) [* does anyone know who Dick Harrell is?!] My wallet's still reeling somewhat! Not all of these are great, and those that are great are not all in great condition but overall I'm very happy - my collection of Command LPs has multiplied several-fold in one leap and my collection of Project 3 LPs has finally *started*! That'll teach me to keep saying how impossible it is to find Command and Project 3 material over here! If anyone is screaming for any of the above, I could be tempted but am not likely to yield the Hyman, Mottola and Severinsen LPs! Long-time subscribers to the list may remember me raving about this shop many moons ago and they may also remember that I said there was a good chance that they were going to go "on line" in the form of taking a subscription at my Virtual Vinyl website. Well, they're still interested but it won't be for another 2-3 months as they're still trying to get themselve straightened out. I'll keep you all updated on this as I reckon that despite my scorch and burn raid today(!) they'll still have lots that list members will be interested in. More later (in the year!)

A friend of mine has a collection on his wall of covers done by famous cartoonists that look great . When I was in arizona i went into a large and pricey record store (can't remember the name) which grouped albums on the wall conceptually; there would be, for example, a six foot square of album covers which all consisted of very tight closeups of faces.

BIG close-up of a cocktail glass filled with an amber liquid that refracts a slightly fuzzy image behind of a woman's face looking longingly up at it (mouth agape, eyes half closed) all in a pink haze. The music on this is just alright, small combo with accordion. Morton Gould - Temptation Beautiful color and layout. Temptation in large red helvetica with Morton Gould in smaller gold type above. Cheesy set with powder blue background, green fronds out of focus to the left, palm tree with snake to the right and a gold sequined clad brunette holding an apple in the center. and one I haven't even listened to: Astounding High Fidelity In Stereo Varied type (IN STEREO in applied gold) over black background. Two hands with a baton and a swirly light trace pattern of the baton's movement. A few small color dots placed here and there on the trace. and the most shocking: Out of those eye-pleasing covers for Richard Hayman's Mercury releases, I would pick Caramba! as one of the most subliminally violent covers I've ever seen. A woman cringes with glee as a man threatens to bash her over the head with his maraca!

I practically camped out at Mickey Magowan's table where I bought: GREAT JAZZ FROM GREAT TV by Bob Mersey - Very cool crime jazz, basically done as production music and used on a number of shows. Compares favorably to classic PETER GUNN era Mancini and dig these titles: "Jazz Dramatic" "Blue Sax" "Flutesville" "Forever Frantic" "Beatnik" "Vibraphonics" "Call Girl." Bob was best known as a producer at Columbia (producing Andy Williams' "Moon River" speaking of Mancini). Music by Det Moor and his Orchestra. The notes said that much of this music was done for European (I think UK) TV. Great find, and only $8. Les Baxter's - TEEN DRUMS, probably in VG condition - about $15. Y'all know how cool this record is. BUT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD GERSHWIN WITH BONGOS - Don Ralke. Don is my favorite Bongo man, and this is wall to wall fun. $10. MUSIC FROM OUT OF SPACE - Pete Rugolo. Jack? Br. Cleve? What do you know about this? Dealer said it was rare and he was letting it go to me cheap at $15 (some scratches). I love Rugolo's RICHARD DIAMOND soundtrack, and couldn't resist titles like "Stereo Space Man" and "In a Modal Tone" or "Ballade for Drums." GOLDFINGER - Billy Strange, $4. Has his original "Theme for Pussy Galore" and "The Munsters" theme. GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E. - Teddy Randazzo. Most of you seem to have this. Very fun stuff, $12. A MAN CALLED DAGGER - Steve Alllen. $4. Has "The Swingin' Dagger Theme" which should have prompted a lawsuit from John Barry. Some hot little chase scene cues. EXPERIMENT IN TERROR - Mancini. $9. Good shape but not mint. Jack Diamond was raving about this recently. The best part - the many twist tunes. WHISTLING AT WAIKIKI BEACH - Muzzy Marcellino, $11. Whistling Exotica, two great tastes that go great together. Some records that *would* have been bought if I had a single more drachma to spare: Domenic Frontiere' PAGAN FESTIVAL - recently discussed on the list. Saw two foil copies (both mono) going for fairly cheap prices ($6). HOT ROD JAZZ (didn't catch the artist - anybody know?) It promised "Twangy Guitar and Tenor Sax" - a combination I usually find irresistible, but it was going for $18 and Muzzy and Rugolo were selling for less. M-SQUAD - $10 - Ahhh, can't believe I didn't buy this. I've seen it priced as high as $60. But again, I'd shot my wad.

Great stuff for electronic music heads, a far cry, however, from the Perrey-Kingsley type of electronic music, perhaps more like Emil Richards' "Stones: The New Sound Element," which is the most indisposable electronic exotica album in the world.

It's saccharine enough to make you vomit, a test of aural endurance, and then again, especially for people on this list, when was the last time a song moved you to the point of that kind of negative physical reaction?

Here's a list of the far-rest out electronic work I can think of... Jack Diamond I am sure can supplement this, as well as some other folks? Jean-Jacques Perrey - anything by this grandfather of applied Moog and Musique Concrete is worthwhile, I call it the "bonky-bonk" sound Gershon Kingsley - not as interesting alone as with Perrey Emil Richards - only one electronic record I can think of, "Stones: The New Sound Element" It is a mindbender, a must have. All in odd time signatures, very beautiful and frenetic, I've seen it as a 2-fer CD Mort Garson - The Zodiac Series is great Moog, "Black Mass Lucifer" is one of the more intresting Moog works, like Emil Richards, utilizes the electronic instruments for something more than covers of pop songs with silly sound effects Dick Hyman - both "Electronic Eclectics" and "Age of Electronicus" are very musical, groovy too Dick can PLAY, which helps... Richard Hayman - "Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine" is cool, I think he has others? Anyone know? Walter Sear - Copper Plater Integrated Circuit, it's o.k. only IMHO Dick Hyamn - forgot this one - "Moongas" only heard it once at a friend's h house, non-moog electronic coolness Gil Melle - "Tome IV" totally cool, the Jazzzz Song with electronics cuttin' it up... He's a genius, also did "Andromeda Strain." Moog Orchestra - "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" really weird, neato sounds i am leaving out most of the really insipid Moog covers of pop songs albums which I think are interesting, but unfortunately, don't explore the abilities of the instruments the way some of these other guys do... Also of interest: anything using the EMS Synthi A/KS or VCS3 synthesizers... Anything by Pierre Schaeffer, the inventor of "Musique Concrete" (good luck finding it..., a CD retrospective is out for big $$$) Karlheinz Stockhausen's electronic work, especially "Gesang der Junglinge" which is an amazing Musique Concrete work..., and "Stockhausen / Beethoven" also weird... Goldang, there are so many others and I write to you from work where I can't see my records... These one's I've listed though, are to me the most intersting (and therefore easily remembered).

He's a genius, also did "Andromeda Strain." > > Moog Orchestra - "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" really weird, neato sounds Yes, I've had all of these at one time or other and used to play a lot of it on my radio show in the 70's. In a way, electronic music is what got me into radio. Some friends of mine were brokering time on a local station (Chicago) and playing your basic rock of the period like Hendrix, Jeff. Airplane, Country Joe, Janis, Chicago, Blodwyn Pig, Jethro Tull. They new I was into making musique concrete tapes and had a pretty good knowledge of the electronic and a/g music of the time like Stockhausen, Xennakis, Schaeffer, Henry, Subotnick, Walter Carlos, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Sal Martirano......they had me come up to the station with some of my records to use for musical beds for announcing over. Well, eventually I got into programming the show and playing this music as selections in addition to backgrounds. I was mixing this up with the rock of the day, avant jazz like Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Burton Greene, Gunter Hampel, almost everything that ws out on the ESP label. That label got a lot of play on the show, along with stuff on Impulse (Coltrane, Shepp, Sanders....), Limelight (lots of good electronics and 50ft Hose), DGG avant series with Stockhausen, Ferrari, Xennakis...Some listeners turned me on to Faust, I already had been playing German music like Amon Duul 1 & 2, Birth Control, Can. Eventually the Brain and Ohr labels started getting played a lot. I actively sought this stuff out and made contact with some of the bands who I corresponded with. I established contact a German record dealer who would trade me German stuff for lame American stuff and he put me in touch with a writer from Germany's Sounds magazine who traded records with me regularly. Well, I think you get the idea. That's enough babbling for now. > > Also of interest: > anything using the EMS Synthi A/KS or VCS3 synthesizers... > Anything by Pierre Schaeffer, the inventor of "Musique Concrete" (good luck > finding it..., a CD retrospective is out for big $$$) One of my prized pieces of vinyl is "Panorama of Musique Concrete" works by Henry, Schaeffer and Arthuys London DTL93090 (British Pressing) which I got around 1972. an interesting story about this record. A grade shcool teacher who was also a listener to the show asked me to come to her school and give her students and illustrated talk about electronic music. This was one of the records I took along. I didn't have a car at the time so she gave me a ride out to the shcool and back. On the way home I slipped the records under the seat. When I got home I didn't notice that that record was missing, still in her car. By the time I noticed it was missing a few weeks later it was summer vacation time and the teacher had left for a long vacation. When I tried calling a couple of months later her phone was disconnected. Now here's the funny part, ablut 10 or 12 years later I'm at Chicago's famous public market, Maxwell Street. I'm browsing through a box of vinyl and the very same record is in the box. Boy, was I surprised to be reunited with a long lost friend. The exact same record, I recognized the tape on the back cover that I had applied years before. The freakiest part is that this is not the only thing that has come back to me on Maxwell Street after leaving my possession for many years. Sort of like the cat came back but not the very next day:-) > Karlheinz Stockhausen's electronic work, especially "Gesang der Junglinge" which is an amazing Musique Concrete work..., and "Stockhausen / Beethoven" also > weird... > as I mentioned above this stuff used to get played on my show.

Carlos had done it on nose flute or some other instrument would still be of less interest to me than the work of Garson, Richards, or Melle simply for their use of the instrument to see what it can do that is unique to the electronic world... Speaking, however, of more classical pieces, Ruth White (title forgotten...) did a wonderful Moog rendition of Gymnopodie by what's his name... (HELP ME OUT, HERE, I'm forgetting all the names of these people...) Also, there are some cool records out there of Saint-Sens pieces for Ondes Martenot...

The following is a from an ad for the album that appeared in the U.K. mag "Q" (August issue"). The quote is from NME (New Musical Express, another trendy U.K. mag): "...a corker - widescreen ambient rock, with soaring singalong tunes and magical, dreamlike moods." A "Q" review in the very same issue says: "...glaringly bandless coffee-table timewasting..." Can't say, myself, I haven't heard it, but I am a Badalamenti fan.

Yeah, well someone better come to the Pennsylvania / New Jersey area and clean them out. Every one foot stack of LPs guarantees a copy of WCAOD in it.

Anyone know? >Moog Orchestra - "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" really weird, neato >sounds One of my all-time esoteric faves is a record from around 1980, I think also by the "Moog Orchestra" -- themes from "Battlestar Galactica"! I don't think it is actual soundtrack music (except for one disco track, which I'll mention), as it is all in cheesariffic moog instrumentation. This record was given to me during my grade-school years and only in the last few years have I come to appreciate it. Mind you, this thing is great IMO for its camp aspects -- so bad/weird that it's supremely good (unlike a lot of bad music which only reaches the point of boring or unlistenable) -- _plus_ there are points where the musician(s) accidentally hit some really eerie, surreal and sublime moments. Those moments are fleeting, but when they happen it's like a fever-induced dreamstate, as surreal as some of the best ambient-psychedelic pieces. Another plus: it includes the all-time Cheesiest Disco Song EVER. I'm not kidding, there is no contender here. Called "Love, Love, Love," it was sung on an episode of the TV show by a four-eyed sister siren sporting an impressive afro. I don't suppose anyone else has seen this one (the record)? (Now that you mention the "Close Encounters" record, I think that this may reside at my folks' house; I'll have to seek it out...) >Also of interest: >Karlheinz Stockhausen's electronic work, especially "Gesang der Junglinge" >which is an amazing Musique Concrete work..., Yes! (shifting from camp connoisseur to music-as-high-art fan) I've heard quite a few of Stockhausen's work, and this is one of my favorites. I'd recommend it to any KS-beginners. (Translation of title: "Song of the Youths"; for sample-Trainspotters, this record was heavily sampled by contemporary German electronicist Holger Hiller in his brilliant "Oben Im Eck.") >Goldang, there are so many others and I write to you from work where I can't >see my records...

Yup -- if we're thinking of the same thing, it's Giorgio Moroder's attempt to catch up with Meco (who as far as I know never did a Battlestar Galactica album, but I'm always spotting new Meco albums I never knew existed, so...). I picked up "Battlestar Galactica" (Casablanca NBLP-7169) in a K-mart cutout bin probably less than a year after it came out, mostly for the 95%-naked space babe on the sleeve. God help me, I *really* like this album . . . especially the "Evolution" suite, which takes up the entire flip side of the LP and which is also on Moroder's 1985ish best-of. It's a long dancefloor version of the kind of synthesized spacepop guys like Jarre and Tomita were doing at the time. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: riviera@tiac.net Subject: Re: Musique Concrete Date: 13 Aug 1996 16:02:16 -0400 >Ilhan Mimaroglou (who had his own lable, Finadar, for a while) and >Tod Docksteder who did some wacky obsessive found sound work he >self-released. >One of his LPs has 3 off-center holes so the sides wobble and sound >different >according to which hole you've thrust the spindle through.

He was an amazing musician/bandleader working in the 60s/70s... It comes to mind in light of the talk of electronic music. Kirk did some of the earliest (that I've heard) use of electronic effects in jazz. Check out, for example, some of the tracks on the album "Please Don't You Cry Beautiful Edith" (1967 I think) -- there are parts where he pushes the delay and other effects to the extreme on flute solos and other instruments. Gorgeous stuff. Subject: Schory CD FS Date: 13 Aug 1996 16:21:19 -0400 Classic Records has reissued Dick Schory's "Music for Bang, BaRoom and Harp" on CD. They are selling it for $25 plus $5 postage. I have a new copy that I'm willing to let go for $20, including postage within the USA. Email if you're interested. I have also a few open-reel tapes that might be of interest: two Command volumes of Enoch Light doing "Far Away Places" and "Far Away Places Vol. 2". Also two Omegas: the Francis Bay Big Band doing a Dorsey salute, and Maxwell Davis doing the hits of Lionel Hampton. I'll let any of these open-reels go for $10 each or two for $15, including postage within the USA.

Sort of a cross between Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. It came on Oasis which was a part of Casablanca Records. It was a part of that labels initial release which also included Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" and a German hard rock band called Schloss. As you may know Giorgio also produced DS's album. Incidently, when those 3 records came in to the station I tracked the whole side of LTLYB after just droppping the needle in a few spots to get an idea of the sound. The phones went crazy that night. That has to be one of the classic disco tunes of all time. -Saul :| :| <::< .::\ \:/ :::| :::| :~~/ :::| .::\ :::\ :\:| >::> `::| /:\ :| :|:| :::, :| `::| :::/ `::| saul smaizys/saxmania@ripco.com :| .,:' .........................web page=http://pages.ripco.com/~saxmania .............................voice (312)907.8229 fax (312)907.8521 -- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: bcleve@tiac.net (Brother Cleve) Subject: Re: symphonic soul Date: 13 Aug 1996 20:31:34 -0400 Lounge Laura wrote: >I picked up SYMPHONIC SOUL by Henry Mancini, recorded in 1975...and I tell >those who haven't heard it...that it's *good sleaze* and smacks sweetly of >blacksploitation.

The Music from Peter Gunn and More Music from Peter Gunn - what is there to say? All those west coast jazz guys that Jack Diamond luv's so well... Hatari! - "Baby Elephant Walk" Arabesque - Sophia Loren and Gregory Peck on the cover...the freaky "Dream Street" uses tape delay echos, mallets on piano strings, an autoharp and more unusual instruments... Breakfast at Tiffany's - "Moon River", "Something For Cat" and the lovely Audrey Hepburn - Barney Kessel and his Men do a great Breakfast at Tiffany's record.... The Blues and the Beat - more greatness from those west coast guys... Mr. Lucky and Mr Lucky Goes Latin Combo! - Shelly Manne, Art Pepper, Larry Bunker, Johnny Williams on harpsichord = beautiful jazz Charade - Audrey and Cary Grant shot on location in Paris Experiment In Terror - That's Lee Remick on the red cover, being grabbed from behind by a shadowy gloved figure.

Anyone know? Oh yes Kingsley has done some great stuff, the exception being his First Moog Quartet (not the one with Popcorn on it) this one makes my teeth hurt. I think the one you are talking about was a transistional time for him to be kind, though I do sort of like it simply because it is weird. His others worth checking out are: Music to Moog By, Popcorn with the First Moog Quartet, The Happy Moog! >>Moog Orchestra - "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" really weird, neato >>sounds >>"Battlestar Galactica"! The Moog Orchestra also did Music From Star Wars-- we are really talking about the 70's now for better or worse. Did someone say that Giorgio was with The Moog Orch. at some point? The 2 Giorio's (Moroder) that I have are 'From Here to Eternity' 1977 and 'Knights in White Satin' 1976--they both have Pete Bellotte, who I think is known for his LP Moog Party, but I have never heard it or seen it for that matter. Anyway Giorgio is pushing the heavy 70's disco romantic--hello I'm sexy and you are too sound. He's really proud of his mustache and hair. I would love to find the 'Battlestar Galactica' that was mentioned. Also in the early to mid 70's is Johnny Keating's Space Experience 1 and 2, though I haven't heard 2. Number one is over the top with extravagant moog sounds, arps too -- I Feel the Earth Move, Rocket Man and The Sound of Silence, there's a theme alright!!! But his best that I have heard is An Astromusical Odyssey/Sounds Galactic on Phase 4--this one is has a version of Up, Up and Away that is one of the best and most extreme that I have heard. What about 'The 18th Century Concepts'??? anybody know of them? There LP called 'In the 20th Century Bag' has some electronic sounds I can't quite identify, sort of trumpet sounding moogish sounds doing songs like If I were a Carpenter, Eleanor Rigby, Can't Hurry Love--really great sounds. I have seen another one of their LP's around, anybody have it? And lastly--back to Wendy, here's one that hasn't been mentioned 'Secrets of Synthesis' by Wendy Carlos. She is sitting proudly on her chair in her studio smiling and looking at her keyboards. The LP is one of her lectures and demonstrations of the moog from Switched on Bach to Digital Moonscapes. It covers her entire range with soft spoken explanations of each sound. --David # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dragstr@earthlink.net (David Schafer) Subject: Re: Musique Concrete Date: 13 Aug 1996 20:20:37 -0700 (PDT) >-Lou wrote-- >And if you're talking Moog bands, don't forget Mother Mallard's Portable >Masterpiece Co., the official >Moog house band featuring David Borden. > >Anyone mention Moog Cookbook yet?

I'm looking for EVERYTHING by SHEL SILVERSTEIN, America's greatest song-writing genius ever, IMHO. What I need especially is: - I'm so good that I don't have to brag (Label: Cadet) - Drain my Brain (Label: Cadet) [both re-released in 1973 as double LP "Crouchin' on the Outside"] - Inside Folk Songs (1962) 2.I'm also desperately looking for the following early recordings by DR. HOOK (& THE MEDICINE SHOW): - Who is Harry Kellermann (and why is he saying those terrible things about me) ? (Soundtrack, 1971, for a movie featuring Dustin Hoffmann) - Fried Face (CBS, 1974 ?) - Cops and Robbers (CBS, 1974 ? - probably only released in the US and withdrawn shortly after due to dispute with their record company) 3. Does ANYBODY out there know ANYTHING about a band called "THE WALKERS" ??? (I don't mean "The Walker Brothers" !!!) The only thing I know from them are two singles: "Oh Lonesome Me" (the Johnny Cash-song) and "We don't live in Tennessee", both released sometimes in the 70s and in the style of John Fogerty/CCR, plus nice steel guitars.

Thanks to everyone for all sorts of neat ideas & once in a while some real enlightenment! I'm recently back to record-collecting after a 10-year hiatus. This afternoon I stopped by a couple of local thrift shops and found the following titles among others: (not sure of their levels of attraction to the folks on this list): Enoch Light & Light Brigade----Dimension 3 (Command RS867SD) $0.25 The Three Suns----One Enchanted Evening (RCA LSP-2904) $0.25 Jackie Gleason----Intimate Music For Lovers (Good Music/Capitol SL-9730) $1.50 The Genius of Ravi Shankar (Columbia) $0.95 Sammy Davis, Jr.----It's All Over But the Swingin' (Deccca) $0.95 Manuel, His Spanish Guitars & Orchestra----Spain (Metro) $0.95 Let's Dance With The Three Suns (RCA) Free Caterian Valentes & Werner Muller----Greatest Hits (London) $0.95 Hugo Winterhalter Goes Gypsy (RCA) $1.00 Pops and Prado RCA (2 copies, 1 free, 1 for $1.00) Big Hits By Prado (RCA) $1.00 The Three Suns----Twilight Memories (RCA) $1.00 Joe Harnell His Piano & Orch.----Fly Me to the Moon & Bossa Nova Pops (Kapp) $0.50 I would love to hear comments on these titles and things related.

Happy Moog is by Harry Breur and Jean Jacques Perrey, not Kingsley's solo style at all. This one and In Sound From Way Out are unquestionably my favorites of original hyper moog pop. Has anyone heard the French only solo releases of J.J. Perrey? Know what direction he took? I have a later (1986) Kingsley Lp called Much Silence that's decidedly new-age (cover of Einstein doing a tai-chi-like prance on yin-yang in the sky). Just got to listening to the second side now - about as interesting as a late 80's Bill Nelson record.

We're off the air this week because we're between summer and fall semesters. I'm going to post the playlists for the most recent show or two in subsequent messages, but for now, here's the top 25 for the summer, based on number of spins. This represents recent CD reissues only, and is affected by what we received and when we received it (some of this stuff has been out a while but we got it this summer or at the end osf spring semester).

The Moog Cookbook - The Moog Cookbook (Restless) -Jordana Some disclaimers: 1. They tend to be a bit CD-heavy. This is because I'm the main DJ for the show (there are a couple others but none have more than a few lounge/exotica records). In order to avoid playing the same "hits from Jordana's collection" every week, I've been leaning toward the new comps. Plus, we usually get in a couple new things a week and I am always anxious to play them. CDs have an asterisk next to them. 2. We're going off the air for the next couple weeks (hiatus between summer classes and fall classes). I'll post the last couple weeks playlists instead, or something. 3. The Lounge Show has no snappy title, and I'm open to suggestions because I'm sick of calling it The Lounge Show (I play a lot of easy listening pop, so The Lounge Show is somewhat of a misnomer anyway).

I found a Subotnik record at our uni library, called Silver Apples of the Moon. It was barely listenable. Lots of blinkety bonk, but not melodical enough to hold my attention. I think Stereolab samples his stuff on occassion. There's also a band called Laika (not Laika and the Cosmonauts, which is another group) that has an album of the same title. They're good for modern bonky-bonk electronic with feedback and phat beats. Then there was that group the Silver Apples (I'm just making the connection now, and it's late and I'm worried that I've got the wrong name with Subotnik). They have this wonderful droney groove made up of percussion and some sort of electronic monster machine. Brilliant stuff, better than many other things I've heard, and it would sound amazingly fresh and much more interesting if it weren't for the hippy-dippy singing that muddles it up. I'm pretty definite that "Nothing's Gonna Stop the Flow" by the Folk Implosion (from the _Kids_ soundtrack) samples it's background from one of the Silver Apples songs ("Contact"?). >Yes I have a problem and I am seeking help:))) I'm turning to electric >sitars for now.

This isn't about Mancini, but sort of veering of from the topic, I keep coming across these Issac Hayes versions of Bacharach/David songs. They're crazy (an 11 minute version of "The Look of Love") and very Isaac, but my question is: Is there a separate album of this stuff or are they sprinkled throughout his albums?

I got the Hanna-Barbera "Pic-A-Nic Basket" box set. Woderful stuff. I got it for the nostalgia factor alone (why is it that I'm 21 but I'm already nostalgic about everything?) but once you get beyond the familiar theme songs, there's some unexpectedly good stuff here. The underscores (what they play as incidental music underneath the sound effets and dialogue) are pretty good; the Jetsons underscore is really really good, and sounds like the Three Suns on even happier pills and with a theremin player joining the band. On another note, I saw the Theremin documentary at the video shop, but didn't get a chance to rent it. -Jordana, serial poster P.S. I have another post, regarding the enormous (but not supreme quality) pile of records I rescued from my parents' basement this weekend.

Kirk albums are worth it if you like Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, and other funky jazzmen who improvise very powerfully and strangely. A jazz heavy.

Bob Moog's great on personal service. Don't expect him to appreciate trivia about moog and theremin records, though. As far as he's concerned, Clara Rockmore's "Art of the Theremin," which comes with the kit, is it. He doesn't pay me either, but he's good. My kit, #14, remains unassembled, alas.

Marty Gold, who is everything the _horrible, despicable_ Morton Gould should be, did "Moog Plays the Beatles," as close to the Transformed Shatner as you're gonna get with a moog LP. The cover art features the ultra-cutie-pie, Hummel(tm)-esque figurines of a hippie couple - he fully bearded and frontally nude - eeek! (the cutesy figurine part, I mean). Then we have Hugo Montenegro, no doubt grown apprehensive about the efficacy of his previous "Moog Power" effort, doing "Hugo in Wonder-land," a Moog-Plays-Stevie-Wonder album. Early '70s semi-moog, a la moog-use by Spirit, Jimmy Castor, and the like, but "Higher Ground" still is a hard song to ruin, even by happenin' Hugo. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tony Wilds Subject: Spectacular Red Hot Bob Maxwell Date: 15 Aug 1996 04:14:15 -0400 Robert Maxwell's finest [mono] LP may be Red Hot Harp.

Prado, Valente - way to go. Truly you came, you saw, you conga'd. Pops & Prado features dueling organs, and its "Three Little Words" always gets neighbor-rattlin' volume here at Chez Tiki, anti- gringo-cha cha naysayers be damned. (Burn the rest unless you like it.) Discographies for Ros, Cugat, and Prado is asking a lot. Estimate quantity of unique LP material (including 10", CD, and imports but forgetting VAs, 45s, EPs, and 78s for the moment) at about 40, 70, and 40 LPs, respectively. I'm willing to contribute to a serious, definitive discography/bibliography project, but a fella could get killed fooling with his mambo collection. I'm afraid of it - I think I smell a cat under there. With each of the Trumpetacious Three you get a fair amount of dreck, but it's safe to experiment. With Prado there's a Jimi Hendrix-esque bootleg problem; stick with the RCAs and UAs unless you're a completist on Prado or other Latin artists. Cugat had a recording career stretching over 7 or 8 decades and as many labels; with him most Columbias and Mercurys and nearly all Deccas are best; RCAs are the disappointment for a change. Cugie CDs include authentic-but-boring old rumbas and the infectious-but-posthumous Xavier Cugat Orchestra (now that's fame!). Go for anything with the greatest of his 5 wives on it: Abbe Lane, the Lady in Red. Ask an oldster about the raid on Cugie's love nest.

Au contraire, mon frere. MM was the original House Band (or at least the only Moog band willing to live in Trumansburg). They self-released 2 discs on Earthquack: Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co. (1973) and Like a Duck To Water (1976). Back then they were a trio of David Borden, Steve Drews & Linda Fisher. They played more in a jazzy minimalist style than rock/pop. They were able to bring an improvisatory feel to pulse music, which is quite a trick. That famously stable Moog tuning probably helped with that a bit. I hitch-hiked through a blizzard to a small college in Rochester, NY 1972 to see them play live. They turned patch-cord plugging into a ballet - the only purely electronic show I've ever seen that was visually interesting as well. The tension of watching 3 people re-configure a stage full of synths in real time *while* performing certainly added an edge to things.

LP, '77) is marvellous. from the accelerated escapism of the opener 'le fugitif' to the atmospheric delights of 'futur anterieur' to the clean crisp jazz of the title track, 'dynamoog' is possibly perrey's most accomplished album. commissioned in '76 by producer louis delacour for the canadian label CREA Sound Ltd., it was realised in france in only 12 days. the creative tasks were shared between perrey and his partner, gilbert sigrist, who was then chef d'orchestra for the live performances of popular french singing star gilbert decaud. in spite of the time pressure, the 'dynamoog' production is relaxed, the sounds are open and even the title sequence is well combined. 'The Ultimate in Music Conception' indeed. perrey (alongside pat prilly & harry breur) was involved with a number of different moog lps, released by 'montparnasse 2000,' including titles like 'moog sensations,' 'moog is moog,' 'moog expressions' etc. these were audio illustrations for film, "musique pour l'image" as perrey describes them. they are all incredibly varied albums, ranging from bonky-bonk pieces to real freaky textured sc-fi shit. tres, tres cool. perrey returned to the studio in june this year, '96, creating 3 demo tracks, in preparation for what he calls, "the album of the century." these are skeletal, but indicate the possiblities, were a major label to offer a contract. it's timely with the reissue of 'moog indigo' (http://www.acerecords.co.uk/gotrt/apr96/jjperrey01.html) & the lucozade ad. in combination with live musicians (as with '69 sessions in nyc) to provide rhythmic backing, double bass & drums, i'm sure perrey could be encouraged to realise & release the full funk evident within 'moog indigo.' how come i know all this? well.. here in in northern england i present a radio series, __electric___ featuring much of the music recently discussed.

There was a record rack, about 3 feet long and two shelves high, rescued from my grandmother's house. Full of dust as it is, the damp conditions of the room were causing the whole mess to start mildewing. I'm no expert on record conservation, so all I did was wipe the covers off with slightly damp paper towels, dry em off, and see if the right record was inside (I now have a frustratingly large collecton of empty covers from Groove Holmes, Earl Grant and other soul-jazz organists). Some of them are in crap shape, but none of the records are too badly scrathced. I got some stuff from my immaculate parents collection too. Here's an overview - there are a _lot_ of records. SOme are jazz, and some I have no idea about.

I think it was them who put out a box set on Nonesuch called "The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music." I can't remember if there were one or two records but it included a nice booklet. There was a full length compostion and the rest was various samples of different wavegorms and such. (I used to tape some of the samples and loop them. splice them, dice them into my own compositions.) Bernie Krause was also responsible for George Harrison's "Wonderwall Music" album. He's not given credit on the LP but if you look closely on the cover you can see his name crossed out in silver ink. Beaver & Krause were involved in many other electronic projects during the 70's. Most of them don't come to mind at the moment but I'm sure someone on the list can enlighten us....Saul -- :| :| <::< .::\ \:/ :::| :::| :~~/ :::| .::\ :::\ :\:| >::> `::| /:\ :| :|:| :::, :| `::| :::/ `::| saul smaizys/saxmania@ripco.com :| .,:' .........................web page=http://pages.ripco.com/~saxmania .............................voice (312)907.8229 fax (312)907.8521 -- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dragstr@earthlink.net (David Schafer) Subject: Re: Let's talk electronic Date: 15 Aug 1996 09:27:13 -0700 (PDT) >riviera-- >In my collection of pop-songs-done-in-baroque-style LPs,this is a notable >exception.It has one of the best covers of anything in that >can-I-even-call-it-a-genre;a photo of a bunch of powdered fops and >macaronis,with a smattering of Lady Pompadour wannabes,astride Harleys.

Mel Torme Breathing On His Own (Los Angeles) -- Mel Torme (tohr-MAY') appears to be making some progress. His spokesman says the singer is breathing without a respirator tube in his throat for the first since his stroke last weekend. Publicist Rob Wilcox says the 70-year-old entertainer remains in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a still-unidentified hospital in the Los Angeles area. Torme's left side was weakened and his speech has been affected by the stroke. And, Wilcox says he's been battling with pneumonia and a partially collapsed lung and has been unable to eat. But the publicist says Torme never lost consciousness. (Copyright 1996 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

Date: 15 Aug 1996 18:23:17 -0700 Hey, I can't believe someone actually said that Macini's "The Music from Peter Gunn" was "drab" (or whatever). This album has GOT to be one of my all-time favorites, and "More Music from Peter Gunn" is almost as good. I've taped them both, and I find myself listening to them over and over in the car. "The Brothers go to Mothers" (not to mention the rest of the album) is pure genius. This album was also pretty influential, considering that Mancini was the first guy to introduce jazz into the realm of TV - with Peter Gunn. This is some of Mancini's coolest stuff ever.

Maybe a little less for the Jag. Fender's made before 1964 (pre-CBS, before CBS bought Fender) are usually quite a bit more expensive than the ones made after '64. It also depends on where you live. On the west coast a Jazzmaster would cost more than the exact same thing sold in the midwest. A *very* cool guitar though. In fact, I consider it a goal to eventually own one.

I was listening to it on headphones, and I think that's why I listened to it as long as I did (I made it almost through one side without turning it over).

I know they have an album called "Silver Apples of the Moon" which is why I brought them up. They also have a track on the "Offbeat" compilation put out by the Red Hot folks (this comp also has an excellent song by Tortoise). Laika has other stuff too - I think some singles etc. on Too Pure. >jordana--let's talk sitars soon, I'm curious what you have found. I haven't found very much. I looked through all the "Avant-garde" section at the radio station (mostly Hawkwind-type noodly 70s stuff which I can't stand) and found no (good) sitars. Everything was too 70s-style. I did find the two Silver Apples records, though. I still have to look through jazz, but I'm not expecting much. Some records should come soon from Kevin, and there are a few sitar things in that batch. >>On another note, I saw the Theremin documentary at the video shop, but >>didn't get a chance to rent it. > >watch it immediately--it's really unbelievable from the very beginning. In some fit of crackheadedness, I rented "Spirits of Evil" (that's not the title, but it's something like that) instead. Three Poe stories, each by a different director, which were made in the 60s in France but just came out on video. I was looking for a Vampyros Lesbos kind of vibe, and it's sort of what I expected, at least so far - I've watched most of the first one, starring Peter and Jane Fonda and directed by Roger Vadim.

But it's not > very exciting. Hold it, hold it, you're close... If you want Jane Fonda starring with director Roger Vadim and SITARS, you have to rent THE GAME IS OVER (1966), which also features Michel Piccoli, who incidentally has one of the most incredible voices you'll ever hear! (I remember him doing some of the narration on an older Italian film, LOVE IN THE CITY, featuring - and here's another coincidence - a number of segments done by different Italian directors on the theme of love in Rome, one of the best cities there is, with one or two segments that are REQUIRED viewing for everyone on this list, but I'll leave it at that... one mustn't spoil the surprise.) Anyway, back to THE GAME IS OVER... It features an extended seduction/love scene involving Jane Fonda, Peter McEnery, a swank Parisian mansion, a large pool, some shaving cream, soft-focus visuals, some inedible flowers, and a sitar-y soundtrack. I happen to have the LP as well, and the first side is good psychedelic mood music, kind of on the quiet side... Plot summation: young Jane marries boring businessman (Piccoli), falls in love with his son (McEnery - see above reference to seduction scene), & life becomes very difficult from there on out... And here's another: SATAN IN HIGH HEELS, which features, oddly, a very similar plot & stars Meg Myles and Sabrina. Meg is GREAT, and Sabrina is... you won't BELIEVE it till you see it. (I'm not kidding!) This low-budget flick also features campy nightclub scenes and a great soundtrack by Mundell Lowe, which REALLY swings - especially in the context of the film. Lowe is one of the big names in the jazz guitar world & I've seen his name all over the place on LPs from the 50s & 60s, many of which are familiar on this list. The soundtrack LP came out on the Charlie Parker Records label - no sitars on this one, though! dave /\\ \\ \\ \\ / \\ \\ \\ \\ the arouet label / \\ \\ \\ \\ ZING!

There are some tracks on various compilations available, my favourite is the slammin Light_My_Fire-cover on the "Melting Pot Vol.1"-album. I think there are 2 albums available (not for me :( ), I'll check for the titles. Someone told me, Ananda is Ravi Shankar's son. I also found a track by "The Shankar Family" on the Butter-bootleg #1.

Does this fit into this list's lounge/EZ listening category? It certainly does for me. Of course I think the music is gorgeous, but most people for whom I play it echo Mason Williams in the beginning of the rekkid by saying, "Hunh??" It's mostly pop with a big orchestra, and it's produced by Mike Post of TV-music fame. The album contains an excellent whistling song which Lounge Laura may be interested in hearing.
