From: Jbtwist@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: exotica Digest V2 #122 Date: 01 Jan 1997 00:28:43 -0500 Maybe its nice to have the modern "It Came From Outer space" soundtrack available now with the original arrangements et al (i've considered buying it), but your so called Dick Jacobs "atrocity", "Themes from Horror Movies," was my favorite record as a kid, and has been and always will be very very near and dear to my heart. I miss the goofy song intros on the Varese re-release , but there is a Japanese import of the original tht probably has them. But my scratchy vinyl still sounds great. This is one of those records that epitomized the male adolescent Mad Magazine/Famous Monsters/Modern Man Magazine/Shock Music/Big Daddy Roth culture that we old farts look back upon with such fond delight, because it proved that somebody else out there was crazy too ! And we all know what happened next when millions of kids found out the world was as weird as they thought it was !!!

And thanks to all those who sent me shopping/clubbing tips for my stay in London. We didn't end up hitting any clubs. Forays to Madame JoJo's or the Wag Club ran aground because they coincided with Christmas or New Years' Eves, or seemed complicated and expensive transportation-wise. Nevertheless, we house-sat for a VP of Virgin Records whose shelves were stocked full of reissues from the Capitol/EMI family, and that was blissful enough. All the 2nd-hand vinyl stores I visited had large EZ/Exotica sections, but I was astounded, in most cases, by the prices -- ordinary Studio 2 releases at fifteen pounds, for example, and 1960s spy soundtrack albums for fifty or sixty dollars. There were, however, lots of new CD reissues/compilations I hadn't seen here yet, though I assumed most of them would end up on sale more cheaply here and will wait. I picked up "Mo'Plen 2000: Acid hip tracks from Italian cocktails!" (on the Irma La Douce label). Pretty good, though not on a par with the 2nd Easy Tempo comp, in my view. Also The Thriller Memorandum: Mood Mosaic Volume 2, a very good comp of Polygram 1960s spy jazz; and Sushi 3003 (Japanese clubpop), which is like a lot of the Japanese 1960s-tinged stuff -- alternately sublime and irritating. I bought several copies of issue 3 of Easy for friends. It's a bit skimpy, but there is a long, interesting interview with John Schroeder which reveals, among other things, that he lived in Canada (and worked intermittently in the music biz in Vancouver, then Toronto) in the 1980s. He returned to the UK for personal reasons in 1991, and is thrilled by the revival of interest in his work. "Space Age Soul -- The John Schroeder Orchestra" was on display at most record stores I visited in London.

Date: 02 Jan 1997 09:18:11 -0500 (EST) This is not a direct response to Lounge Laura's request re: Web sites dealing with pulp fiction, but one thing that's a must for your shelves is Robert Polito's biography of Jim Thompson, "Savage Art," which was published last year by Knopf. It won the National Book Critics Circle award for best biography, and deservedly so. Thompson's life was as over-the-top as his fiction, and the book is a wild-and-hairy ride that starts in hobo-yards and Wobbly encampments of the Wilde West, circles through the WPA writers project, moves to the pulp fiction mills of post-war New York and on into the seedy underbelly of Hollywood in the 1950s and '60s. The characters who made cameo appearances in Thompson's life include Woody Guthrie, Stan Lee and Stanley Kubrick. It's a terrific book to shelve next to your Black Lizard reissues of "Pop. 1280" and "The Killer Inside Me." r2 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) A cute thing about Jim Thompson...

Jim Thompson?) or moderne Deco, Bauhaus, etc. type furniture(again, originals or reissues) and the neccesary accessories to go with them? I have the rekkids----now, I need the furniture and the appropriate book shelves! Herre are two noozgroops. The first one is more specific: alt.pulp rec.collecting.books And two web sites. The second has some swell paperback covers with artist info that was very helpful to me in identifying pulp and paperback cover styles. Both have links: http://members.aol.com/dotPulp/pulplinks.html http://www.ils.unc.edu/rarebooks/coverart.html As to style, try the Life magazine homepage, especially check out "Ideas in Housing" is it's still available there: http://pathfinder.com/@@kHroIQUAnDqA1Rz7/Life/lifehome.html And a good start for things precious: http://www.retroactive.com/teletype.html The actual items are getting pricey (even the re-issues) so do some research on the era and start some new and better trends. Start here: As someone mentioned before, the book "Populuxe" which is out of print. I found a copy at my local library, and it's an excellent primer on styles from 1954-64. This was obviously a labor of love for the author. As to flea-market/used bookstore/antique mall searching, here are some personal favorite periodicals that will give you lot's of big ideas (I am recommending the years 1946 - 1966): House Beautuful - A little high class; hard to find Better Homes and Gardens - More down-to earth and middle class. Lots of recipes involving canned soup. GREAT color ads. American Home - pretty good mag about home furnishing etc. Holiday - Style up the wazoo. Makes you long for far away places and a fat bankroll. Life - Plentiful. There is an endless supply of this mag in the Boston area, usually $2-$3 each if there aren't movie stars on the cover. Architectural Forum - Deals with industrial and corporate architecture. Very nice mag put out by Luce (Time/Life). Hard to find. I also routinely see pieces of furniture at the Salivation Army that just need TLC. A neat set of blonde faux Swedish modern endtables at the Boston outlet this weekend. My house is full; somebody else rescue them.

Date: 02 Jan 1997 15:14:59 -0800 Just picked up a new CD of Lary Page Orchestra entitled "Music For Night People" (not to be confused with similar Polygram comp.) which has catchy artwork. Never heard of him before; listened to the CD and then understood why I've never heard of him before. There was also a Beatles covers reissue he did that I avoided. Whew. What's going on here?!?! My take on this resurgence of Lounge Music is this: People will hear their friends playing Esquivel and say, "Hey, that sounds pretty cool, I want a copy of that too." They'll go out ot the store and ask for the Lounge/Easy Listening section and come across assorted titles. They'll gamble and pick up Morton Gould's "Jungle Drums" because the sticker on it says 'Dawn Of Lounge' and then they'll also pick up Larry Page Orchestra because it just looks cool. Then, they'll take the CD's home and play them and say "What the..., this Lounge music is boring, what's the big deal..". One less lounge customer at the CD stores and less chance we'll ever see the Quality CD's reissued because the record companies see the number of sales dropping. Let's make this year a potential winner for SABPM. We want to see good stuff out on CD. Please! I'm begging you people out there to keep plugging away at these record companies. Trust me when I say that the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Start with Warner Bros. and RCA! Good luck, we're all counting on you.

I'll give it my rousing vote for informative and entertaining content, but damn! that magazine is the most maddening, eyestrain inducing read I've ever picked up. Many of the layouts remind me of the "trick" pages from the Penn & Teller "Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends" book - tiny red ink on swirly, psychedelic backgrounds. That's it - I'm sending my next optometry bill to Mike D. Besides the great Moog, Hyman, Carlos interviews, don't miss Weird Al's tale of his stint on "Wheel of Fortune" with Little Richard and James Brown - nor the one page article about James Brown's lost dance show "Future Shock". And in the midst of all this, MCA interviews the Dali Lama. Now THAT's what I call a magazine.

After a brief introduction (warning) by a concerned young man, BT came onto the stage with the aid of a cane. Remember how scary he looks? He's scarier now. And he's sporting a new haircut that reminds me a bit of "A Flock of Seagulls". He seemed weak at first, (he's 90!) but once he got rolling, he ranted and raved like a man half his age. The small theater was packed. I'm glad he's not been forgotten. When in NYC, check him out, he performs every Saturday at 9:30. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who might be willing to dupe me a tape of him performing.

The Blue Juice LP cites 'Ananda Shankar & Friends' on EMI India as the source LP. Thetwo tracks are 'Dancing Drums' and 'Streets Of Calcutta'. The Stones 'Jumping Jack Flash' is on an earlier release through Reprise - also includes 'Light My Fire' - that LP goes for about 60 quid in the UK. I can't actually recall the title. On a similar(ish) note, has anyone else out there picked up on Maynard Ferguson's 'Chala-Nata' - an arrangement of a traditional Indian raga featuring indian percussion, Maynard on trumpet, and the big band arrangement of Keith Mansfield? It's on 'The World of Maynard Ferguson' which is worth it for the sleeve where he mentions Tim Leary and those cats. . . [NOTICE: Excess quoted text has been automatically filtered from this message.

'96 was quite a year for Vik and he thanks all his swinging guests for the kind words and wonderful help during the past year. '97 promises to bring many new improvements to the lounge (hopefully one a month). First, Vik's Lounge has moved to its very own server. Its a bit slower than before, and Vik apologizes for that, but he's working on the speed over the next few months. Remember, patience is a virtue... So why move to a slower server? So Vik's can start offering some toys not available from the old landlord. Vik has plans for a Palace (www.thepalace.com) like chat room, interactive databases and much more! January's new toy is RealAudio. Vik's is now equipped with streaming audio at about the level of a cheap AM radio, but this too shall improve through the year. You'll find more info below concerning the debut of Radio Vik. January also marks the expansion of Vik's as we knock down a wall, move into the empty store next door and become the new home to Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. Joesph Holmes, Curator Emeritus, Ret. has decided to focus on the Gallery of Album Art and passed the SABPM site on to Vik. Rest assured, Vik considers this THE ground zero site for swank on the web and shall make sure it continues to provide a excellent starting point for hipsters everywhere. And now...without further ado... ============================================================= Radio Vik is on the Air (http://www.chaoskitty.com/t_chaos/radiovik.html) You'll need RealAudio (www.realaudio.com) and at least a 14.4 modem, but Vik's now brings you the sounds of swank in real-time. No pesky downloads! No salesmen will call! Each month, two artists will be featured as well as a Radio Vik Broadcast of all the Featured tracks. And if this were not enough, Vik's bringing global radio to the lounge! Have a swell radio show? Want others to hear it via Vik's? Send a note to Vik and let him know. January kicks this off with one of Vik's first regulars...Belgium's Johan Dada Vis. His "Fantastica" radio show is a delightful collage of music and sounds. Each Radio Vik global broadcast is 30 minutes long. ============================================================= The One Year Anniversary Party (http://www.chaoskitty.com/t_chaos/anni.html) What would an anniversary be without a party? And what's a party without door prizes? Throughout January and February, you have the chance to celebrate with Vik and win swank swag from Ultra Lounge, Scamp, Dionysus and hi fi. Ultra Lounge coasters, Lyman and Oranj, fall releases from Dionysus and every Scamp title released in 1997!!! So what are you waiting for? Vik's Year End Blow Out (http://www.chaoskitty.com/t_chaos/survey.html) Vik's gone insane!!! Everything has to go and he's pricing it to move...FREE!!! All you have to do is fill out the form, make your choice and hope luck is on your side. Vik had a lot left over from '96 and wants it gone. every two weeks, random drawing will be made to give it all away. Don't win the first time? You name goes back for the next drawing... The Casino Biscotti (http://www.chaoskitty.com/t_chaos/casino.html) The Loungecore Celebrity Drink contest continues.

Date: 04 Jan 1997 18:28:12 -0500 I think a lot of the folks on the list must be big Lenny Dee or Jimmy Smith fans, but what about other, not as famous organists? One of my faves is Eddie ("Baldwin and Bongos") Osborn, who released a very cute promo single for some organ company where they interview a kitten who "plays an organ solo" and then Eddie does a cover of "Sentimental Journey." Ethel Smith is another great one--I wish I could find more of her stuff (all I have is "Rhythmn Antics" and her movie themes LP). And I love those homemade organ records--some of them are so weird--I just found one that has Beatles tunes, Big Band Standards like "Night Train", Carpenters hits, and James Bond tunes(!). I guess the artist was trying to be all things to all people. :) Exactly how many of these little label, resturaunt organists are there? (interesting ones, I mean). # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pea Hicks Subject: Re: (exotica) Eddie Osborn and Other Delights(?)

I've got several of these as well. Two of my favorites artists are Frank LaSpina and Leroy Lewis. Going even further, though, I've got some great cassettes from some lady's organ class (circa 1982). It's fun when all four students get to try their hand at trading blues solos!! Also, you should always be on the lookout for homemade 78's. Most of them are made of cardboard with some kind of plastic or wax coating. Hewlett Packard and some other companies made in-home record lathes in the 40's and 50's, and when you find these records there's no telling what might be on them. I have a couple with rather boring organ playing, but I've also got one with some family nervously making fart jokes as if it were a *huge* taboo to do so!

At a time when artists on other record labels were hardly even acknowledged in sleeve notes, the people at=20 Warner Bros. wanted you to spend your money on records from Capitol, RCA, Verve, MGM, Atlantic, Coral etc. For instance, if you like Herm Saunders and his Celestial Music, you're supposed to dig Jackie Gleason and Robert Maxwell (can't argue with that), and fans of the Ernie Coleman=20 Trio's "Be Gentle Please" (ultra cool chamber jazz with hammond organ) are meant to snap up the Three Suns and George Shearing. Even Chico Hamilton's Pacific Jazz albums get a namecheck on Chico Hamilton's Warner albums. I have never seen anything like this on other major label records up until this day. One wonders what may have induced Warners to this gesture of philanthropy.

This is a truly mind-boggling album, consisting mostly of spoken monologues and dialogues, sometimes reminiscent of the ramblings of Ken Nordine, and replete with references to psychopaths, traumas and various mental conditions. One track, "Origins of Jazz Terms", is straight out of "How to Speak Hip", there is a duet for drums and typewriter, some free-form freakout gibberish, even a piece for abstract female vocals over haunting bongos with echo effects, and all this interspersed with tape loops and sound effects. I have never seen this record mentioned anywhere nor encountered any references to Shorty Petterstein, whoever he was. Does anybody know? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The first seasons ('54-'55-'56), the show was filmed in New York. From '57 to '60, the show took place in LA. These are the episodes with "Sam" (the legs of Mary Tyler Moore), and the Rugolo score.

Lenny Bruce's first album "Interviews Of Our Time" features 2 non-Lenny tracks; 1 of them is the "Shorty Petterstein Interview", with Shorty as a strung out jazz musician, talking about "I just blow, man...the blow is the thing".

Really amazing record that's fer sure. Played a title from Jazz Canto - Poetry and Jazz this morning on my show at about 10AM. Sorry you all missed it A spoken word piece called Big High Song for Somebody spoken by Roy Glenn a big baritone based sound he has for a voice. Cool shit indeed Music supplied by Gerry Mulligan and his qrt w/ Jon Eardley on Trumpet. Got a phone call from Michael McClure who was a beat poet from San Francisco with all those other guys like Ferlingetti and Rexroth~!!! Called at the end of it saying that he just tuned in and caught the last half and would I please play it again AGAIN!!! WHAT ARE YOU INSANE ??? I said. He wouldn't let me off the phone and even though I have been known to hang up on people from time to time. DON'T give me a hard time at 10AM on a Sunday morning during my show man or it's dial tone city for you pal!;)) I didn't hang up on him AND did play the piece again but like I told him over the air "You're gonna have to wait for it pal" and played it at 20 miuntes to Noon. I also brought with me a record on Hanover which has Jack Kerouac's Beat Generation as well as The Nutty Squirrels 1st rekkid on that label with him on it and told him "hey! I'll play you to which he whined "NOOOOOOOO" don't play that" Says he's sending me a rekkid that he made with Ray Manzerak(sp ?) I think that's who it's with. Guitarist from Roxy Music. We will see won't we ;) Anyone heard of a rekkid with Michael McClure and Ray Manzerak ? Don't know the label. The Museum of Modern Art in SF just closed a wonderful exhibit on the beats and the the whole shebang that happened in SF from days gone by. The good old days are gone forever, ain't dey ?

This is a bizarre album by a Malaysian covers band called Pietro Attila and the Warlocks, pressed in 1969. It is licensed to EMI South East Asia and the label is Regal. One enjoyable thing about this album is that the band don't really seem to understand the words they're singing, so they never sound entirely sure of where one word ends and another begins. However, they sing with such hopeless enthusiasm that you just have to sing along to "Eend-ee-an Gee-va Eend-ee-an Gee-va" or the breathless "cos there's Some Thing in the Airrrrrr". The album features much belting away at pianos and keyboards (some excellent warped psychedelic use of the keyboards in "Get BACK", some soulful moments, and some glorious achievements such as in "Dizzy" - shouts of "I'm so DISS-ee!" moving up and up the scale to impossible quavering heights! Lots and lots of fun! The album cover is pretty choice too, with the band standing astride a grassy knoll wearing brightly-coloured batik jackets, bright red or green or yellow trousers and wierd white ankle boots. In the middle is a bloke with a head shaved apart from a pony-tail and a mo and with a haughty look about him who I take to be Pietro himself. There is also a bloke in National Health glasses sitting by his feet with receding fuzzy long hair and a long beard which are bright orange. It's a happening scene. On the back is some excellent pre-Photoshop trickery which shows the band now astride the planet earth, and taking it very seriously too. I would love to know what these guys went on to do. I kind of have this feeling that they are all university lecturers. But could I go to Malaysia and find them performing in some seedy club? I really enjoy this record and it's compulsory listening for all guests to my house - and much enjoyed, I should add. So thank you, Pietro! If anyone knows anything at all about these guys, I'd love to hear it as I often speculate about them. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Phil Clark" Subject: (exotica) Re: london record prices Date: 04 Jan 1997 19:19:24 -0000 Will Straw said ...

A prime candidate here IMHO is Record & Tape Exchange ... unless ya happen to be lucky and catch something being reduced to a resonable price, you'll pay top dollar for just about anything interesting :-( However there ARE exceptions (Totem Records of N16 for example) and in the provinces things are often different - not only are the shop owners often more personable and interested in their customers, they don't necessarily try to rip ya off ALL of the time. swingingly (Engerland swings like a pendulum do, as any fule kno ) Phil # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dfrisby@mgmua.com (Doug Frisby) Subject: (exotica) Recent acquisition... Date: 06 Jan 1997 17:09:50 -0800 I was at the Pasadena record show and scored a winner with Russ Garcia's "Carioca" for 4 bucks. I absolutely love it and Highly recommend it! The other score I thought I had was Esquivel's Latinesque for only 10 dollars. I should have heard the "Moron alert", but I bought it anyway. Seems that I bought the sleeve to Latinesque and the record to "The Genius of Esquivel". If anyone wants this mismatch Esquivel album, I'll send it to you free of charge.

Good stuff too, like Joe Loss Concertium, Simon Park, and other Sound Gallery items. The only pieces I've paid for were some Mandingo records which, if I am doing my currency exchange correctly, still didn't work to 15 pounds each! How and why could this be so? I suppose stateside, the Studio 2 (and other UK pressings of the 60's and 70's with their flimsy laminate covers) look funny and get shuffled off to the dusty bins. By the way, anyone interested in this material should also look at the PYE label for similar orchestral goodies (as per my earlier posting regarding the Terry Cavendish Orchestra). Also, BBC put out some gems like the Tony Osborne Sound.

Does anyone know how many other Astro Songs were stuck on other LPs? I mean the actual tunes, not the Animated Egg tracks that turn up on their cheapo rock records (MacArthur Park and Other Now Sounds). I think Que Mango! and Les Baxter's other Alshire LP have been stuck on those "Hits" comps--I have one Strings release that has "Felicia my Love" from QM! and "A Taste of Soul" from Les Baxter + 101 Strings. It also has a _very_ Astro sounds-esque cover of "Spinning Wheel" with the same electronic sounds used on "Astro" Could this be an unused outtake? One more Alshire question (bear with me). Aren't the great sitar tracks from "Sounds of Today" actually from "The Exotic Sounds of Love," the Strings' under the counter-I, a Woman release?

Another of those attempts to appeal to people who didn't really like rock music but wanted to feel with it. But haven't yet encountered the 101 Hendrix experience. Speaking of this type of record, I recently picked up a David Rose (my hero) LP entitled "The Velvet Beat: Lush String Interpretations Of Today's Hits." No lie--it's lush all right! Highlights include a very sultry "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," a wistful "Mr. Tambourine Man," and a completely indescribable "What's New Pussycat." Has a wonderful cover featuring a furry black fabric cut-out cat with a rhinestone collar on a hot pink background. The notes on the back cover are written by the best kind of pompous, authoritative square trying to be now and mod. They begin, "Ask any alert schoolgirl to identify the numbers on this album and you'll begin to get the idea behind it. In simple fact, the music that David Rose has chosen to interpret here is the music of our young generation." A couple of paragraphs down, the essay continues, "We are not for a moment suggesting that maiden aunts and portly uncles will switch to the sounds of Herman's Hermits, nor is it likely that our kids will now discover 'Dance of the Spanish Onion' and the many other David Rose masterpieces that are as far from their musical milieu as is Nureyev from Bosco the Dancing Bear." # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: action+@sirius.com (Ursula Blind) Subject: (exotica) Bimbo-Box Date: 07 Jan 1997 11:31:01 -0800 One of the most magical places in San Francisco is the Musee Mechanique at Ocean Beach--a collection of antique and vintage coin-op arcade games, peep shows, music-playing devices, fortune telling wizards, etc. Was there the other day and noticed for the first time that they have a "Bimbo-Box."

Bobby Shad and the Bad Men is what it is called. A 65-piece rock workshop that absolutely destroys the following classic pop tunes: 1) Whole Lotta Love 2) Pinball Wizard 3) No Time 4) Instant Karma 5) Up On Cripple Creek 6) I Want You Back Evidently, this Bob Shad has been around awhile and has pretty impressive credentials. This record must have come out around the same time as the above titles and has a beautiful, glossy gatefold cover with these little cartoon flower children gracing the front. On the Mainstream label - a Red Lion Production. The extensive liners (and credits) boast: "...it is the result of the concentrated efforts of the very finest musicians, writers and producers in recorded music today. You will recognize it as something new, truly exciting, highly creative....musically, it is a 65 piece rock orchestra - not just an orchestra playing rock songs. A small group of musicians can create a certain amount of excitement - 65 musicians and the excitement explodes....with only three selections to a side there is ample room for extended treatment of each theme within a spectrum of sound that adds an unconceived dimension to these compositions...." There are certain points within each track that are really pretty good - lots of sitar, too. But then, just when you are diggin it, all 65 members blast away at once, causing you to cover your ears and wince. Just curious as to anyone else who has had the good (mis)fortune of experiencing this "major innovation in rock music." ford # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pea Hicks Subject: Re: (exotica) Disco Date: 07 Jan 1997 20:02:27 -0800 bsalter wrote: > > >I am making a tape for a friend (ok I'll probably keep a copy of it for > >myself too) of disco songs being done by persons who should not have been > >doing Disco tunes (but then that raises that philosophical question of > >'should anyone have been doing disco tunes?').

Second, while we Europeans are desperate to get this cheap, original vinyl you guys can pick up at thrift stores, you are desperate to get these reissues that we can pick up at damn near any store we enter. So if anyone is REALLY desperate to find this stuff, I can 1) suggest you send me some cash and I will go to the local shop, purchase it for you and get it in the post the next day at no profit to myself (all of the above CDs are also on vinyl - though those are a little harder to find now that the releases are a few months old) or 2) email me and maybe we can swap for some vintage vinyl you find lying around. Everytime I go to America, I find something lying around that 10 of my mates would die for - usually costing no more than 10 bucks. This isn't the Mingo-go mail order service or anything, I just can't bear to see people going without good music simply due to logistics. OK?

The note about them perhaps not really understanding the (English) lyrics they were singing reminds me of the trend in the 60s for English beat combos to re-record foreign-language versions of their top hits for overseas, eg the Beatles doing a German single and today's birthday boy David Bowie re-recording "Space Oddity" in Italian. I wonder if those were done phonetically, with the artists just reading the lyrics without understanding them? Also in the 70s here in Blighty there was of course the trend of the 99 pence "Top of The Pops" genre album, this bearing no relation to the fab & gear BBC TV show of the same name but instead being cheapo cheapo cover versions of current hits performed by faceless session musos (stand up Elton John) cunningly disguised to fool the casual buyer by careful placement on cover of skimpily-dressed model and deliberately vague artist credits. Anyhow apparently when it came to recording certain tunes fro which the lyrics were unavailable, the sessioneers would just make-em up! I think an example was something by the Clash.

Maybe this is old news, but last week I stumbled across the CD at the Footlight Records website. Also available from German Music Express. Great crime jazz, incl. "Riff Blues", "Coffee House", "Hammer Blow", etc. Conducted by Skip Martin, featuring some great west coast jazz types, incl. Bud Shank, Ted Nash, Frank Rosolino, etc. $16.95 at Footlight Records; German Music Express has it for $19. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: basic hip Subject: (exotica) Musee Mecanique Date: 08 Jan 1997 18:25:20 -0800 The arcade below the Cliff House in San Francisco that Ursula brought up is what's left of Whitney's "Playland At The Beach", a three block long amusement park that opened in the early twenties and closed in 1971. Next time you drive along Ocean Beach nearby, take notice of the condos and the Safeway behind them. That's where Playland stood. What a shame - I had my eighth birthday there - sniff. Playland's famous dessert, "It's It", a wedge of vanilla ice cream sandwiched by two oatmeal cookies and covered in chocolate is still sold everywhere. The most famous figure of Playland was Laughing Sal, a mechanical woman whose recorded cackles attracted passerby on the midway into the Fun House. Butt ugly and with a mop of flaming red hair, she scared the shit outta me when I was a kid. Last time I visited Musee Mecanique, she was there - same recorded laughter and all! Anyway, while browsing through the pop instrumental vinyl section at Amoeba in Berkeley, I came across this newly released record with Laughing Sal herself on the cover. Never will forget her toothless grin. The title is something like Musee Mecanique and is just what Ursula described - arcade music. For some reason, i did not get it but will be returning for it soon - if it's good i'll let ya know. PS...32 pieces of email in my box today and not a single reply on Bobby Shad and His Bad Men.

The best location to see unique mechanical music machines (at least 35 major items) is an attraction called "House on the Rock" in Spring Green, Wisconsin. The house itself has been called the ultimate bachelor pad, full of interesting exotica, but beyond the house is hall after hall of the most amazing things. It's impossible to describe them all, but most memorable for me were "The Mikado", a very large oriental music machine that featured "Fu Manchu" looking mannequins whose eyes would shift around, cheeks would puff, etc. , the world's largest merry-go-round (269 creatures - and not one horse), and a organ room which includes dozens of full size theatrical pipe organs - some of these things have at least 12 keyboards, HUNDREDS of switches, and are simply intimidating. "House on the Rock" has been listed as one of the seven wonders by the book "Roadside America" which described one of the mechanical music rooms "as if the Palace of Versailles were converted into a Tussaud wax museum by a Kuwaiti sheik, with musical accompianement by a talented ensemble of smooth-faced midgets." This is truly a magical place. For another neat review of this place, connect to http://www.doremi.co.uk/road/hotr.html A much smaller, but still very interesting site to visit is the Miles Musical Museum in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It has some mechanical music machines, an old mail art room, and a special Xmas room which is made of of old storewindow Xmas displays from perhaps the 1940s? My favorite piece was the Santa mannequin seated in front of the player piano while six festively dressed stuffed cats spin on their hind legs on top of the piano. Two very fun sites, both located in the middle of the country. Plan your vacations now. This is my first posting . . .I'll introduce myself later.

I'm finishing up a short but busy winter break, home in Philadelphia. I went to the Five Spot, but to my dismay it was overrun with frat boys and girls on holiday. Lucky for the club, the place was packed, but the young hoodlums were unnapreciative of the live band, fine decor, and good service and were a general nuisance. I suppose that could be chalked up to winter break (lots of college boys and girls home with pocket money - that's why I was there, after all), but it slightly dampened my first night at a club that could at all be included in any sort of lounge "scene." I mean this in a neutral sense. The Five Spot seems like a classy place, but to my club-virgin self, even the most vulgar cash-in scenester-infested dive would have been an interesting experience at least. I also went to NYC and picked up some goodies from Other Music. The list-related ones are: various - Sushi 3003 Not as great as I had expected, but my expectations were inflated by a long anticipation. It's a compilation of Japanese samba/electronic/now sound pop stuff (by new artists) that I heard about a couple times on this list. It all sounds very much like Pizzicato 5, who contribute a track (I think the same one from the _Brain Candy_ soundtrack). various - Electronic Toys: A Retrospective of '70s Synth I've only listened to this the whole way through twice. It's kind of creepy. Creepy and bleepy, and now I have yet another topless blonde fraulein in my CD collection (along with Shuldmachen). Jerry Van Rooyen - At 250 Miles Per Hour None of these German re-issues of Franco soundtrack stuff sounds like Vampyros Lesbos, which alwasy disappoints me. Not that I think that they should only release the same stuff - I just _really_ liked VL and am starved for more of the same. Of the three films partially included here, the music for one called Necronomicon and the Vampire Happening seemed most promising, and they are, of course, the least well-represented :(. I have to get that Witch record, I suppose, for one thing. various - Blow Up presents Exclusive Blend volume 1 BRILLIANT and it was an impulse buy. Blow Up is a London mod club, and its founder, Paul Tunkin, compiled this CD. Its similar to the Sound Gallery and Karminsky Experience compilations, but with more emphasis on Hammond organ. Lots of big beat brassyness, and also a bit of sitar. Most tracks are by Alan Hankshaw or Keith Mansfield. I love it, and I even made a .wav of the into to one if the tracks to greet me as I start up Windows. One of the happier social experiences of my young life was a New Year's Eve at the Blow Up club a couple years ago, and this CD happily complements my memories of that. -Jordana __________________________________________________ jordana robinson jbr109@psu.edu homepage at www.personal.psu.edu/~jbr109 image & direction at www.geocities.com/SoHo/2157 __________________________________________________ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jbr109@psu.edu (jordana robinson) Subject: (exotica) laserlight cd reviews Date: 09 Jan 1997 01:29:49 -0500 If anyone's still curious about those Laserlight compilations, send me a message reminding me and I'll post a review when I get back to school.

I read your post a while back regarding furniture for the chronically hip. I may be able to help. I have a friend that makes very cool retro-fifties cocktail tables. I have a picture of one that is available. Because of a small rip in the upholstery, it has been marked down from $75.00 to $40.00. There are others available, but no photos have been taken ot them yet. Each one of Rudy's tables are a unique one of a kind statement, that will add a touch of swank to any room. These tables will have your guests stuttering in amazement. The price range is $50.00- $100.00 A small price to pay for artwork with a function. If you are interested e-mail me and we can work something out. Thanks for your time and have a swinging new year.

I came across this on a Mexican release (was it RCA mexicana?) of a single Perez Prado CD which I found in the Tower Outlet. Can't remember the name, but it was a funny record - pretty funky, but also with a loose sound - lots of out of tune organ etc. It contained an amusing version of the Monkees theme.

There's a disco collection that contains many novelty/fun originals that might partially fit your bill - though I wouldn't label much of it as BAD (I like Eartha, remember). It's a 2 disc set that includes Dynomite, Double Dutch Bus, Where Is My Man, Get Dancin' (Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes), Pillow Talk, Cocomotion, Native Love (Divine), plus many others and a few unlistenables out of 38 cuts.

I didn't realise that it had been put together by The Karminsky Experience who did 'Infight Entertainment' and the recently discussed 'Espresso Espresso'. An excellent Moog version of Venus and a big band 'Spinning Wheel' are my current favourites, but it's all pretty good. Definitely the best mid-price release I've bought for some time.

Chastain" Subject: (exotica) More disco from Hell Date: 10 Jan 1997 10:59:26 -0500 (EST) Robert Sacchi, an actor who bases his career on his dead-on resemblance to Humphrey Bogart (notably in PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM and various commercials), cut a weird (self-promotional?) disco single called "Jungle Queen"/"Casablanca" that I couldn't resist. The B&W cover photo looks *exactly* like Bogie's grimy Charlie Allnut in AFRICAN QUEEN, and Sacchi talks his way through both lead-footed numbers with an excellent impression. The "B" side practically had a friend rolling on the floor -- Sacchi just recites the titles to Bogart films relentlessly, and deadpans "Got to get back to Casablanca" for the refrain. A classic. Legendary New York TV horror movie host Zacherley has done one recent recording that might make the cut too -- a disco spoof called "Eternal Polyester" featuring Zach's vision of a dismal afterlife where "everyone wears leisure suits in Hell."

Didn't Mae West make a disco album? Around 1978, roughly the same time as the fabulous "Sextette" which is possibly my fave Mae movie - she's just marvellous in it. And hang on, isn't that Ringo Starr alongside her for some reason? Why yes it is, doggone it! Another two excellent "stars go beat" releases IMO are ... "the Joan Collins Beauty Album", or similar title - anyway this doesn't feature any disco grooviness but does allow you to exercise in time to La Collins as she barks out instructions. "Exercise One! Stomach! Lie down! Now!" also recommended Honor Blackman's 1964 epic "Everything I've Got" which is truly , uh, OK, dreadful ... and therefore is a must-have. Honor was big in the Avengers at the time as go-getting Emma Peel, and the "Kinky BOots" single was a big hit here, but she also cut this album of covers. I wonder if she ever plays it. I could go on but I won't ... only I was wondering if anyone out there in exoticaland knew anything about an album made by an IBM mainframe in the 60s, whistling and tootling and other machine noises - I think it came out on US Decca. Does anyone have it? Info please! groooooooooovily Phil PS Just time for a Roxy Music mention. There's a GREAT video of them on the Whistle Test (seminal 70s BBCTV music show) in 1972 doing "Ladytron". Ferry's lounge lizard persona much is in evidence, along with the famed mogadon eyelids, and Eno's wearing silver lame oven gloves, and Phil Manzanera (lookit I got the name right) has the cooooolest pair of shades.

It may not be the most incongruous song, but it's one of the more incongruous interpretations of a cha-cha: "Cheerleader Cha-Cha," on Ray Martin's "Pop Goes the Marching Band." I suspect the cha-cha craze spawned more records by more unsuited artists than anything else until disco came along.

There were a couple of eye (ear?) openers that I haven't heard mentioned: Bruce Prince-Joseph & His Group, Anything Goes Hi-Fi On Harpsichord, Camden CAL 416 - Prince-Joseph apparently was a classical harpsichordist who had a custom 3 register and footpedal harpsichord built to play pop/jazz with. It's really pretty wild! Mostly fairly jazzy ("his group" is Al Caiola, Milt Hinton and Johnny Blowers) it swings pretty good but with weird virtuoso classical type flurishes and of course extras that one would expect of 1958 - bongos etc.. Anybody know if he ever did anything else cause I like it a lot?! Alvino Rey/Ralph Carmichael Orchestra, Refreshing Melodies, Sacred LP 8007- Rey doing a bunch of Religious songs backed by the Carmichael orchestra. Not wild like Bleep-Bloop and such but very nice and easy to forget that you are listening to spirituals (if you wish to). Also includes several Hawaiian numbers which they claimed have been used as gospel melodies. Interesting. Lawrence Welk Featuring Buddy Merrill, Songs Of The Islands, Dot DLP 3251 - This one should be titled Buddy Merrill backed by Lawrence Welk. Just to show my ignorance, I had no idea Merrill played with Welk despite having a number of Buddy's albums. Quite good, lotsa steel guitar. Paul Bowles, Music For A Farce/Scenes d'Anabase, Columbia ML 4845 - Again, silly me, I had no idea Bowles was a composer! This was done for a play by William Gillette produced by Orson Welles in the 30's. It's on Columbia's classical line but hardly sounds classical. Very hard to describe and interesting. Was part of a Modern American Composers series overseen by Virgil Thomson, Aaron Copland, etc.. They were supposed to put out "a minumum" of 6 LPs per year in this series. Anybody know of any others cause this ones quite worthwhile?

Info please! Its named "Music from Mathematics" played by I.B.M. 7090 Computer and Digital to Sound Transducer. This is computer music from the era of punched IBM cards (remember them?) The record was released on Decca Records DL9103. Most of the people involved with this record were PhDs working at Bell Telephone Laboratories. One of the composers, Dr. J R Pierce, is credited with "significant contributions to the success of the Telstar Program", referring to the space satellite program, not the surf hit classic by the Tornadoes. There are some recognizable standards: Frere Jacques, Joy to the World, and Bicycle Built for Two (which sounds like the version HAL sings in 2001), and the remaining cuts are equally entertaining electric meanderings. The liner notes are also entertaining for their detailed technical jargon.

The first is a compilation on Polygram called "Lounge Music Goes Latin" It's got cuts from the well knowns like Esquivel, Mendes and the Baja Marimba Band. Its also got a few obscure tunes as well. My favorite song off of it is "Surfing Senorita" by a group called The Mexicans. (When I read that name I knew I had to buy this CD.) Does anybody know anything about The Mexicans. I have never heard of them but would like to hear more! The other disk I got was "Shadows Are Go" by the Shadows on Scamp records. This isn't exotica or lounge, but rather extremely cool instrumentals. These guy were big in the U. K. but never made it in the States. If you groove to vintage twangy-guitared-spy-surf-spagetti western music then get your shovel and start digging The Shadows, cause these guys were hip before people even knew what hip was. And a big thanks goes out to Preston at Exotica/ Et Cetera for writing a very cool "Zinealog." Thanks to his publication I have been turned onto some excellent bands like Action Plus, The Shadows and Oranj Symphonette. His lucid music reveiws are written extremely well and are plain good reading! Definately check out this Magazine/record catalog! That is all.

I've had bad luck finding them, but the few that I have are really nice--kinda like Korla Pandit's easier work. I think most of 'em came out on tiny homemade labels, and feature organ music. Sometimes they have spoken instructions or meditations. Has anyone ever heard of these people or labels?: "Meditation Moods" by Rosa Rio (Rosicrucian Recordings)-- A nice set--Ms. Rio does "Lotus Land" and a few improvizational pieces. This record kind of reminds me of the organ pieces from "Blood Feast" and has 2 spoken word pieces by Ralph M. Lewis, who recorded "Attaining Cosmic Consciousness" and "Science of Mysticism" on the same label. "Meditations from East to West" by Sherwood Metz (Astara Record Library)--"Eastern" standards on side one ("Song of India"), new selections by Robert G. Chaney on side two ("The Ming Tree"). "Whichever side you prefer, you are assured of a personal experience in productive meditation...a presence of peacefulness, an aura of inspiration." "Meditations Along the Inner Way" spoken by Robert G. Chaney, music by Sherwood Metz (Astara)--Robert G. Chaney reads from his book _The Inner Way_ accompanied by Sherwood Metz. "The Inner Way to Contact the Infinite, Gain the power of the Infinite, Receive from the great source of life." Kinda scary. OK, I know the Musical Betts aren't "Old New Age" but they are unique in the field of religious music. Did they make any records besides "Sound of Praise" and "The Golden Bells?" They recorded on the MB Label (I guess that stands for "Musical Betts"), and the catalog number on "Sound of Praise" is 1006, so there might be four other albums. Thanks for any help, Jessica :) PS--is it ok to talk about crackpot spoken word albums on the list? Or aren't they exotic? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mark Reed Subject: Re: (exotica) Old New Age+Religious Date: 12 Jan 1997 14:50:33 -0500 (EST) I have an album by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi hisself on World Pacific called "The Seven States of Conciousness."

(But keep those entries coming) Enoch Light just had this. . . gift, for making any classic showtune sound somewhat plausible as a Cha-Cha number--too many to list, really. Maybe that's what gave lesser minds the weird idea that ANY song could be retooled with an exotic Latin treatment. (I'd like to see a Cha Cha version of "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida" someday--can't you just hear it?) I don't have such a big collection, but I've got a "Greensleeves" Cha Cha (Don Swan _Latino vol 2_); Martin Denny's goofy "Little Grass Shack" Cha Cha; and Enoch's latin "Mack the Knife" I mentioned before. Kurt Weill with cowbells! Wow. But among my LPs the pinnacle (nadir?) is _Dance Percussion Around The World Cha Cha Cha_, Strand SLS-1032. It's credited to Pete Terrace with Steven Garrick on percussion. (". . .learn what frequenters of the Catskill Mountain resorts have known for years, that Pete Terrace has no peer in the field of Latin-American music.") They aren't kidding about "Around the World," doing swanky latin lounge versions of "The Hawaiian Wedding Song," "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," "Lili Marlene," and, wait for it. . . "Hava Nagila"! (It's titled "Hava Cha Cha.") This last one slays everybody we play it for. But it gets better: this disk seems to be a cheesy reissue of an earlier recording, and the producers were clearly thinking, "How can we cash in on this ping-pong percussion craze?" So somebody dubbed in all these ludicrous little tambourine shakes and triangle dings--all *horribly* off the beat! These little "improvements" get frantically panned every which way thoughout each song. It's priceless. The notes say, "Marty Wilson lent his talents as A&R director to bring out the finest in the works of Pete Terrace and Steven Garrick."--which does point the finger of suspicion. . . whoever it was, they were no musician. yours in Hi Fi, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: misanthropy Subject: (exotica) re:Old New Age+Religious Date: 12 Jan 1997 20:09:34 -0500 Jessica asked: >PS--is it ok to talk about crackpot spoken word albums on the list?

Mummies, fake tombs, cool stuff, and a bookstore of weirdness. Dont remember the music in the shop other than those ubiquitous nature sound CD's. In a Western vein, I have Volume 2 of a series by Leo Shatin, Ph. D., called "ISO/VECT - Affect Your Emotions Through Music." To summarize the extensive liner note mumbo jumbo, the ISO principle matches music to mood, while the VEC(TOR) principle changes the music toward the desired level of affect or mood. Side one takes you from Restless/Agitated/Troubled/Tense to Tranquil/Serene/Soothing/Restful. (I prefer Xanax). Blurb says Volume 1 will also change you from Depressed to Gay.

Cuevas" Subject: (exotica) Sitars on Command Date: 14 Jan 1997 11:59:23 -0500 Awhile back there was much talk about sitars in pop music. Recently, I discovered 2 Command/Project 3 records featuring a liberal dose of electric sitar: (1) Enoch Light & The Light Brigade "Future Sound Shock" (Project 3 Quadrophonic Stereo PR-5077-QD, 1973); (2) Herb Larson "Sax Appeal" (Command Stereo 943, 1969). The version of "Caravan" on the Enoch Light album is way groovy, and Herb Larson's free-form sax-sitar freakout interpretation of "This Magic Moment" is so trippy, man. But, of course, these songs are only some of the highlights. You also thrill to the "Future Sounds" of "Recado Bossa Nova", "One Note Samba", "Cute", the "Psychedelic Now Rhythms" of "Hang 'em High", "Galveston", "Dizzy", and so on and so on... Check 'em out if you can. Does anyone know of more Command/Project 3 sitar extravaganzas? Keep on steppin' Bryan C. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bryan J.

Hi Bryan. Dimly recall smatterings of the scourge of the early '70s on Brass Menagerie (maybe just vol 3) and Spaced Out. Okay, that was a while ago, the nausea has subsided. Rock condimented with sitar is transcendental once again. Especially if it's in movies like The Party, The Love-Ins, and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Speaking of freaked-out happenings, another Command LP from the era is the "Unfolding's" How to Blow Your Mind and Have a Freakout Party -- dunno if it has sitar though. (A good raga is probably better AFTER your mind is blown and the party has long since freaked out.) When in NYC you can gorge on Indian food amidst live, "real" sitar players at any number of places on 6th Street.

Date: 15 Jan 1997 02:25:40 +0800 Hello Everyone! I'm a new lounge freak and have been subscribing to this list for over 2 mos. now. I'm amazed on how much info I've gathered just by reading all your postings. I think I could use some help here. I'm trying to find out the titles of some songs and any album info. I'd appreciate any info on them. Here they are: (I just know a few words) 1. " Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes..." (a female voice, a bit rough but very soothing) 2. " Hello. What sweet magic brought you my way" I heard this in the movie "Sunday in New York". It was a club scene. (a male voice, possibly Mel Torme??) 3. " ...awful lot of coffee in Brazil" (I heard this is called Coffee Song and by Eydie Gorme. Can someone please confirm. There seems to be two females singing.) 4. The music in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Henry Mancini's? By the way, I'm from the Philippines so it's very difficult to get hold of lounge music here. I usually have to buy them during travels. A few days back there's been a lot of talk on Cds by Karminski Experience- Expresso, Inflight Experience, etc. I actually purchased mine in HMV Hong Kong. I got them for only US$15 (Hk$115). They are quite reasonable considering the price they are being sold on the web. There's a big selection there so if by any chance, you are there. Check it out.

Can anyone tell > me if that Martin Denny/Si Zentner "Exotic Suite" is any good and if > not do you have any other recommendations of "Suite" sized > masterpieces? Woah! Exotic Suite of the Americas has to vie with Voodoo Suite and a lot of singles over the decades to be considered Prado's masterpiece. (It's great, but hardly his greatest.) Exotica Suite is a supergroup of Les Baxter (composer, his finest since Jungle Jazz), Si Zentner (the performing star, certainly his masterpiece), Bob Florence (arranger, probably his masterpiece too), and Martin Denny. Denny's influence isn't all that apparent, surprisingly, and anyway his masterpiece remains the original, mono Quiet Village -- probably an impossible record to top without changing styles. I know, you all prefer Afro-Desia and Exotica Moog, and I like Hypnotique, but the good old thrift-store staple "Exotica" really is the one that made his career and changed the world, and not without reason. Is Exotica Suite any good? Man... ...It is a Liberty Premier Series Poly 120 audiophile recording -- for a very good reason. It is indispensable. Jerry Byrd did Polynesian Suite, which is his tour de force; but with sitar in it some questionable glop, it's really not in the same league as all of the above. tony __________________________________________________________ ((( The Wilds Scene http://www.charm.net/~wilds/ ))) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: david.trezza@etak.com (David Trezza) Subject: Re: (exotica) Quick Question....

Mr. $$$, you mean you never conga'd to that one at the later Beat Farmers shows? You musta been off managing your estates and patenting your comestible inventions. Speaking of the way Spock feels, there's also the Martian Cha Cha, which I think is Al Castellanos on a legitimate cha cha cha record (Mardi Gras label). He may also have done the Garbageman Cha Cha and several other novelties. Continuing with pointy-eared critters, there's a Halloween-ready Vampire Mambo on a Randy Carlos' Swingin' with Randy LP. There also are pop-horror-esque calypsos too: Creature from the Black Lagoon and Madame Dracula. There's a cute "Simon Says" cha cha which ends with "Simon says, everybody out, out!" -- good closer for a Latin set, club DJs. There are a lot more Latinized gringo songs on otherwise authentic Latin records than cha cha beats on gringo records, to be sure. Don't overlook the Arthur Murray LPs in the thrift stores. Most of them are great, particularly the samba one featuring Carmen Miranda's backup band, the Band of the Moon. (And for once they get to play actual sambas instead of rumbas.) Speaking of the Ultimate Improbability, read her bio to find out how the State Department mandated that Hollywood actually bother to visit and shoot in "Latin America" rather than try to pass off sombreroed Mexicans as Argentines! Miranda was shattered when Brazil at one point fingered her for a traitor.

"101 Strings Plays Sounds Of Today." It's pretty good, a bit on the boring side. But yeah- lots of sitar. "Blues For The Guru" and "Karma Sitar." Great psychedelic cover. I really like "Wanderlove" by Claudine Longet- it's her token psychedelic song, off her first album. There's some very subdued but typical sitar riffs throughout that one. Anyone know if this was the only rendition of that song, or did someone else do it first? And, speaking of sitar (which I learned to play in college- it's actually a pretty damn easy instrument to learn! Not that I sound like Ravi or anything...) one of my ongoing gigs is doing modern remakes of old Indian cinema songs from the 70's. I know this guy from Bombay who is convinced that he has a market niche for this stuff in America (actually there is one, but this guy has *zero* experience in the music business) so he pays me to do techno and house remixes of this stuff. I've done about 40 tunes so far. At any rate, the source music is some of the most wild stuff around, period (and a pain in the ass to transcribe!). A real goulash of just about every musical style you can imagine, with great over-the-top arrangements (Indian musicians are dirt cheap to hire) and stolen melodies and riffs from all over Western pop music.

I never heard of 'em...my parents sure were not listeing to them - I did not even know they existed until I got involved with collecting records, many years later. I'm trying to picture the average consumer of these albums back then and am having a difficult time coming up with an image. Perhaps it was an "older person" who listened to earlier 101 Strings, Hyman and Light records which covered the standards and wanted to "get hip" to modern pop tunes.

He was flabbergassted and said "I forgot all about that record" So that the real title but if you asked me about Exotica Suite on Liberty I would know exactly what you were talking about Bye for now, Jack # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Philip Jackson Subject: (exotica) Suites Date: 15 Jan 1997 17:07:48 +1100 (EST) Hi, Although not strictly "exotic" Duke Ellington's suites should get a mention. There are many of them but if you don't know any maybe start with "The Far East Suite" which has recently been remixed from the original 4 track masters and sounds incredible.

But, by west, they really do mean West, as in "Deep in the Heart of Texas". Classic Western tunes using a lot of traditional Japanese/Asian instruments (koto, shamisen, wood block...). Sounds pretty odd, but it actually works, and doesn't sound that absurd! I also acquired his album that is either swing or big band with an "oriental" flair.

It's OK, a bit on the boring side. But yeah- lots of sitar. "Blues For The Guru" and "Karma Sitar." Great psychedelic cover. I really like "Wanderlove" by Claudine Longet- it's her token psychedelic song, off her first album. There's some very subdued but typical sitar riffs throughout that one. Anyone know if this was the only rendition of that song, or did someone else do it first? And, speaking of sitar (which I learned to play in college- it's actually a pretty damn easy instrument to learn! Not that I sound like Ravi or anything...) one of my ongoing gigs is doing modern remakes of old Indian cinema songs from the 70's. I know this guy from Bombay who is convinced that he has a market niche for this stuff in America (actually there is one, but this guy has *zero* experience in the music business) so he pays me to do techno and house remixes of this stuff. I've done about 40 tunes so far. At any rate, the source music is some of the most wild stuff around, period (and a pain in the ass to transcribe!). A real goulash of just about every musical style you can imagine, with great over-the-top arrangements (Indian musicians are dirt cheap to hire) and stolen melodies and riffs from all over Western pop music. Well worth tracking down for that "inverse exotica" type sound.

"In the Hall of the Mountain King" was a favorite among exotica greats--the Three Suns do it up as "Danny's Inferno" and Hugo Montenegro does an absolutely smoking brass and bongos version on "Boogie Woogie and Bongos." I just picked up a Perez Prado CD, "Estas Si Viven (The Living End)" on Polydor (314531 462-2) that includes "Los Ojos de Texas" (The Eyes of Texas are Upon You) in Prado's inimitable late 60s style. I think it's the CD someone recently mentioned that also includes "Llevame a la Luna" (Fly Me to the Moon)--but better yet, it also offer Prado's take on "El Temp De Los Monkees."

The Denny/Zenter collaboration is not so great, imagine an exotica record with blarring Las Vegas brass intruding and you get the picture. Denny himself thinks there's onlty a couple of tracks that are truly his in feel and it's not one of his favorite records - one interesting story is that these tracks were recorded simply as track 1,2,3, etc. and it wasn't until they pushed Martin Denny for some "exotic" titles that he kinda randomly gave them "exotic" sounding titles.

Anyone on the exotica list should get a copy. I don't know David's email address. In the late 70's he released a couple of albums that would also be of interest. One of them, 50 Synthesizer Greats, was brilliant. I think David only made 500 of each.

Jack is absolutely correct, I came across this album in the Sy Zentner section. By the way in the previus message I wrote that it was Denny who came up with the titles it was in fact Les Baxter who came up with these titles post-recording . All the arrangements are by Bob Florence so all you get of "The exotic sounds of Martin Denny" is Denny on the piano! So the more exotic arrangeing that is a highlight of Denny's albums is somewhat missing here. Also my experience with the LiberyPremire Poly 120 Sound series of albums is that they sound no better or worse than the other Liberty album under the "normal' process.

Here's my preference: For my newer records, meaning ones that I purchased new, I used the dry method, which is a ultra fine hair brush. These records aren't dirty, because I've kept them in inner sleeves. For old records, however, I use the wet method: which is a 16-oz spray bottle with about five to ten drops of dishwasher detergent. I took this recipe from Goldmine magazine a few years back. I used to put about a teaspoon of white vinegar in but hav now killed that practice. Since used, old records almost always come without inner sleeves, and were more than likely owned by people who didn't consider keeping records pristine, they are usually covered with fingerprints, or even water damage. The only way to get this kind of stuff off is with the wet mothod. But be gentle! Go with the groove, not against it! Don't used paper towels! i'd be wary of a toothbrush, too. I use either a terrycloth washcloth or an old-ashioned diaper. And once you've cleaned your record this way, you won't need to use the wet method again, unless you, yourself do not take care of your records. Use the dry method from then on out. Goldmine also wrote that the Diskwash solution is a rip-off. I have to agree. The only thing it has in it that's good is an anti-static agent. It also has diluted alcohol, which is _not_ necessary for keeping your records clean. The best way to protect your records is to definitely invest in inner sleeves. The record rubbing against cardboard is hard on it. Plus they can roll right out and hit against something. The inner sleeve will help you avoid that. Also, keep a fresh needle on your player. If ou play records that are beat to hell, they'll wear your needle down fast. Tape a record that you love but that may be beat up. You also shouldn't invest a fortune on a record needle if you play a lot of old records. About $20-$40 is a good price for a cartridge. And then just replace the needle after that. I have two turntables... one with a good needle (for newer records) and one with a less-expensive, yet good, needle. If you love your records, they'll give you hours of pleasure. Hell, I'm positive they'll last longer than a CD. Thar's real grooves in them records!

Exotica Suite is beautiful from start to end, and while most of Zentner's post Mickey Katz work is commercial pap, this is LES BAXTER at his ORIGINAL, genius-level, COMPOSITIONAL FINEST. Zentner as a *mere instrumentalist* is damn lucky to be associated with such a work, and here he cranks like unto the gods. Denny's naturally bitter bc his role is so small. He's lucky to have top billing. As for the audiophile level, fine. It's hard to go wrong with black-label stereo Liberty (owners of the coveted Blue Note division) as with many other good labels whose audiophile efforts are largely redundant. But this is the star example, content-wise, for Liberty. You buy Exotica Suite, you hate it, just sell it to me. It's freaking great. FIVE ALL-TIME goddamn STARFISH. I don't say that lightly. It's no coincidence that the best later works by Denny, Exotica Suite and Latin Village, were both arranged by Bob Florence, who also did Ann-Margret's work and other collectors' items. Give it up where it's due. __________________________________________________________ ((( The Wilds Scene http://www.charm.net/~wilds/ ))) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tony Wilds Subject: RE: (exotica) Sitar shenanigans...

Improbable: Venezuelan-born, Latin-exponent, London-hipster Edmundo Ros sings, from the Yank production of "Hair," a rumba version of Hare Krishna (Be-In) on the LP "Hair Goes Latin" and the same again in a duet with Caterina Valente on the LP "Silk 'n Satin" (both of which available from me). Sitar: there's Rotary Connection and Flower Power (terrible), but Games People Play is THE WORST kazoo-like, plastic sitar abuse the West could come up with. Zentner: From Prado to Ogerman to May to Zentner, I know no Vegas filter. Brass is brass, and Baxter and Florence would allow nothing untoward. Congrats Si. If it were Plas Johnson and safely on the Capitol side, there would be no Martin Denny beef. So it isn't exotica as barely-part-of-it Denny would dictate. His schtick was heard in 1956, and even back then it's up for debate what's his due and what is his sidemen's. I smell the old Beefheart/Zappa thing again.

Give it up where it's due. Definitely not interested in selling any album with a piece of burlap glued to it to connote that it is an "exotica" record! Just to clarify my critque of this album, there are some genuine fine momments on this, but I believe Jack Diamond properly pointed out that this should be considered a Sy Zenter record with Denny guesting. In this respect it's pretty damnd great compared to some of Sy's brash other albums (again this is personal taste here) and I understand you championing this album. It's just in my opinion 5 stars is a little too kind. How about starting a new debate - "what's the best way to clean the piece of burlap glued to the Exotica Suite cover - wet or dry method?"

The sound is mostly organ/keyboard, fuzz/psych. guitars and moog. The overall sound is very psychedelic and upbeat. The cuts are: Albatross, Apricot Brandy, Sabre Dance, Mozart's Delima (Moog'-ified), Spaced Out, Hot Shot, Summertime Blues, Winter Draws On, Song Without Words, Pecadillo I haven't done any cross listening between 'Astro Sounds' yet but the sound and attitude is very much the same. I was wondering if anyone knows about this LP and could share some insight on it. The inner sleeve features a selection of other 101 LP's of which one is 'Sounds of 69' with the sounds of the California Poppy Pickers. I didn't realize that they were a 101 Strings production too, does anybody have it and care to share any info on it. I saw Bro.

For removing sticker goo, I can't think of a better solvent than lighter fluid, or naphtha, such as Ronsinol or Zippo fluid. Not butane, mind you, but the liquid stuff. If you squirt enough onto a sticker, it penetrates the paper nicely and dissolves the stickum. The sticker is easily removed even from paper covers (such as chinese records or 45's) after a couple of minutes of soaking. You can then use a cloth or paper towel damp with the naphtha to take off any remaining reside. It works GREAT! Marker comes off with naphtha on glossy covers, but anything porous seems to absorb the marker for eternity. Rubbing alcohol will remove marker on some surfaces better than naphtha. regarding cleaning the discs themselves, if you have the dough, investing in a vacuum record cleaner is really worth it. "Rub all you want, but sucking is what really gets us off." (This is what the dirt particles told me). The Nitty-Gritty is about $170 from Audio Advisor, a gallon of fluid runs about $30. For fluid, though, I've heard the use of distilled water mixed with clean rubbing alcohol and a dash of Kodak stuff, is it called hyperflo? Whatever their water surface tension reducing fluid is. That is the stuff, and basically the recipe for the VPI alocohol-based fluid. I can't say enough about the vacuum method. If you're spending the dough on records, it is really worth it. Brushes and sponges and cloths all work acceptably well, to be sure. The method described earlier was the one I used for a long time and then the Nitty Gritty made the whole world seem more beautiful than possible.

What a compilation... Date: 16 Jan 1997 16:21:36 -0800 Just picked up a very expensive compilation from Japan called "Mondo For Space Age". It's Capitol's answer (Japanese division)to "RCA's History Of Space Age Pop". Even the cover artwork is similar with its out-of-focus photo's of obscure objects. The real beauty of this compilation lies in it's "across the board" styles of music. It's transfer quality is top notch and there are some REALLY catchy ditties that never made it onto the "Ultra Lounge" series. And, yes, they even include all of the referring album covers. Here's the track listing for the volume I have (I believe there are 3 total?). I know there are some repeats from other compilations, but the gems between them are worth it! 1. Lonesome Road - Dean Elliott 2. Got To Get To Your House - Ross Bagdasarian 3. Keystone Kapers or Custard's Last Stand - Hangnails Hennesey and Wingy Brubeck 4. The Kick - Roy Harte & Milt Holland 5. Brazilian Bash - Les Baxter 6. Surfing Is My Life - Jack Marshall 7. My Coupe Eefen' Talks - Mr. Gasser & The Weirdos 8. We Get Messages - Jimmie Haskell & His Orchestra 9. Venus - Jimmie Haskell & His Orchestra 10. Moon Moods - Harry Revel 11. Saturday Night On Saturn - Les Baxter 12. An Ols Saw - Jack Fascinato 13. I'm On My Way - Muzzy Marcellino 14. Am I Blue? - Jack Marshall & Shelly Manne 15. Chipmunk Fun - David Seville & The Chipmunks 16. Witch Doctor - Augie Colon 17. Very Nice Is Bali Bali - Patience & Prudence 18. Nani Waimea - The Invitations 19. Shady Lady Bird - Ethel Azama 20. Jungle Bells - John McFarland 21. Sophisticated Savage - Les Baxter I can't recommend this Compilation enough. If you folks who don't have these records are looking for a really good compilation, this is it! Of course, you may need to take out a loan to get it (I paid $30.00). That's enough gushing for now.... P.S.

Date: 17 Jan 1997 03:45:34 -0500 Ah, the joy of liner notes! Firstly, let's deal with the Toys' album, which goes along predictably, until we hit this passage. "Their versatility and "hitability" will be evident when you hear June singing the great Beatles' classic, "Yesterday"...Along with "A Lover's Concerto", "Attack" and 8 more great sides, you're in for some "tamborene" ". The P.P.S.(which follows the P.S.) is a rather strange thank-you: "Also thanks to Barry Abrams in Philadelphia who brought home the East Coast." Mr. Abrams' house must be quite large. Did Cristo wrap it for him? On to a Stereo Demonstration record from Sylvania which changed my life. The front cover told me, "Don't settle for up-tight Stereo!", which I no longer will! I don't know what up-tight Stereo is, but I cannot help but feel duped all those years I wasn't getting loose, flaccid Stereo. The liner notes here are mostly technical jargon and salesmanship, until we get to the song descriptions. In the description for "I Say a Little Prayer", they state that "Gene Bertocini's magical fingers plucking his Classical Guitar provide the "bite" in today's modern music and the high transient tinkle of the Triangle...". In light of the description of the Triangle(being a music major, I know that are at least two types of Triangle, transient and resident Tinkle), I should mention that this record is on a label called "Golden Time" and it is on yellow vinyl. The music itself(I WAS going to get to that eventually!) is a mixture of styles. There is "Guadalajara" which is a light classical piece, distinguished in it's recording by the fact that it is the faintest track on the record and it may very well be in Mono; it also contains "Baby, What Song", which is not about a baby named Whatsong, rather it is referring to "Baby, what song do you want me to play?" It is sung by a poor man's Gary Puckett, Larry Santos who gives us a rendition of "...music of the younger generation of all ages"(?). It basically sounds like a lesser Blood, Sweat & Tears" song. The first line is "I see the look of invasions in your eyes". I suppose that means "squinty". There is also some Moog use("A Shade of Brass") and a rather they-won't know-the-difference performance by the "Tijuan..." I mean, "Mexicali Brass" of "Anna (El Baion)", which must have Silvana Mangano rolling in her grave. Bertocini's biting classical guitar fronts a rendition of the Turtles, "Elenore". One cannot help but agree with the liner notes on this, when they say, "This Sylvania recording tells it like it is!" Turntable ready? Power on?

I second that emotion. I've owned a VPI for 5 years now and have never regretted the cost--and it's probably the most expensive piece of audio equipment I own. In fact, beware of buying a record cleaner because you soon will find yourself buying MORE albums because a whole range of stuff that you would have considered unlistenable can now be cleaned up great. Nothing will recover a very scratched or worn album, but record cleaners will restore just about anything short of that to listenable condition.

This was a practice many major labels did when they used to re-release catalog titles at mid-price. It meant they could save.10 to .12 cents (I beieive that was the publishing rate back then) as these were LP's that would be selling for $4.98 or $5.98 as opposed to the full price of $8.98.

I'm assuming it's the same Chaino (not Caino or Kaino or any other rip-off label fake percussion genius of Africa) that recorded on Omega because it has the same story about his tribe being all murdered and the missionaries taking him to America that his other records do.

For records that aren't too grungy it seems to work fine. You do, however, have to follow the instuctions pretty closely. Be especially careful not to use too much fluid. It can leave a residue that is impossible to get off! Two or three drops per disc using the Discwasher brush is plenty. I have no experience using the fluid without the brush. When I started buying more discs that had not been well-maintained, I bit the bullet and purchased a Nitty Gritty. I know they're pricey, but it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.

It's Red River Cha-Cha ( as in Red River Valley, the Roy Rogers - Sons of the Pioneers type thing. It's on a high-fidelity lp called "Moving Percussion in Pops" by the Hollywood All Stars. According to the liner notes, it contains "The world's greatest percussionists recorded in the most exciting sound ever put on disc. Hearing is believing!" As far as cha-chas go, the red river track is pretty pedestrian, but it IS a cha-cha and it DOES faithfully reproduce the melody of the original tune. I have a hard time admitting that I ever heard a truly BAD cha-cha. Also : Tak Shindo put out at least two lps of "big band standards with an oriental flavor" that I know of - "Brass and Bamboo" and "Accent on Bamboo". The results are decidedly spotty. Much of the tunes are pretty much straight forward swing arrangements with the occassional odd percussive embellishments. Chattanooga Choo Choo? Hmmmm. On the plus side, there are some excellent female voices (ntably on Cherokee). I believe I've heard that Tak Shindo was once a member of Denny's band. Concerning the lounge - Roxy Music theme, my favorite swank linch pin in this connection has to be the title track of Ferry's first solo albumn "These Foolish Things". Tinkling pianos, emotionally overwrought delivery, and a slow fade on a ride of angelic female vocals. Rock music never got any more lounge than that! And I loved the liner notes from B. Phillips. A book of merely covers and liner notes of this material is long overdue. to the sounds of the Mighty Wurlitzer, David Hight # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pete Ashdown Subject: (exotica) testing list mailer Date: 17 Jan 1997 16:59:18 -0700 (MST) testing list mailer to exotica - please excuse # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pete Ashdown Subject: (exotica) testing list mailer Date: 17 Jan 1997 16:59:18 -0700 (MST) testing list mailer to exotica - please excuse # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: j gerwitz Subject: RE: (exotica) Unlikely Cha-Chas, etc. Date: 17 Jan 1997 20:08:57 -0800 Just remembered Soupy Sales' record of "Hippy's Cha-Cha Hips," looked = at the 45 and noticed orchestral arrangement by Jimmie Haskell, who = showed up in some other post I read today.

Wasn't he the guitarist in Manfred Mann or something? He also did loads of sessions and production work, some of this at EMI in the mid-late60s, after that I don;'t know. Frinstance that hugely talented songstress Cilla Black had MV and a rockin' combo back her on more than one album.

Well it's great! The style kinda reminds me of those German "Krimi" films from the 60s ("The Phantom of Soho" is worth seeing just for the great spooky crime jazz score). Great use of Mancini's music, too. Anyhoo, here's my question: are there any other soundtracks or movies with that "Experiment in Terror" sound/look? The closest thing I have is "The Young Savages" (never seen the movie). I saw the "Dead Ringer" soundtrack (one of those Bette Davis Baby Jane rip-offs) for sale once, but I didn't buy it. Did I goof? Why is it that suspense and horror movies hardly ever have soundtrack albums released? I guess it's the dramas that have all the big hits ("Valley of the Dolls," for instance--which is great, but right now I wanna hear something scary!) ;) Thanks for any suggestions, Jessica ^__^ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brad Bigelow Subject: Re: (exotica) Skip Martin Date: 18 Jan 1997 16:15:39 -0800 Jessica Cameron wrote: > > Whatever happened to Skip "Scherajazz" Martin?

Not sure about the look, but for sound maybe try John Barry (Beat Girl, or Ipcress File especially). Quincy Jones' Mirage might segue well also. That film, Experiment, is a shocker even now. It'd be interesting to put together a list of good creepy phone call movies - starting off with Scream... > Why is it that suspense and horror movies hardly ever have > soundtrack albums released? I guess it's the dramas that have all the big hits > ("Valley of the Dolls," for instance--which is great, but right now > I wanna hear something scary!) ;) Well, it's more 70's, but I can't recommend Morricone's La Lucertola con la Pelle di Donna enough. Also, be on the lookout for his score to Argento's new one, The Stendahl Syndrome (word of mouth is it's a terrible film). There's also his Omen-like music for Holocaust 2000, Drammi Gotici and the Argento Trilogy cd. If you want good if generic sounding b-movie music from the 50's try the Ronald Stein Not Of This Earth cd. And for 60's don't forget those Bernard Hermann cd's. Also there's the crime jazz stuff - the Kenyon Hopkins TV scores (The Reporter, East Side/West Side) might be close to the sound you're looking for (?) As you say, can't think of any big horror or suspense hits - wait a minute! What about Rosemary's Baby? 'La la la la la....' oooooo. The soundtracks exist though, don't they? Just not as easily found maybe. speaking of Bette Davis, what about her scaaaary rendition of 'I've Written A Letter To Da-dee?' Ooooooooo.....

Check your diary for a free Saturday - we don't have to do it all on the same day - and join in THE THRIFTATHON. Rules are simple: you must visit as many thrift shops as possible in one day, and you must buy a record in each one. At the end of the day, list up your purchases and submit them for 'marking' by a luminary - Br Cleve, perhaps? The winner will be judged to have the best (not necessarily the largest) haul. The advantage of this "thon" over others is that the charities get your cash right away when you buy the record, and you get to keep (and hopefully enjoy/treasure) the record. Everyone wins!

Apologies to anyone who considers this irrelevant, but I know that there's people on all these lists who will be able to help, with the subject having cropped up before, even if as a tangent. If anyone can think of anywhere else relevant to post this could they please forward it on (i.e. drone-on list, space-rock list, rec.musicmakers.analogue, or whatever is out there!). My girlfriend is doing a college project for her music course, in the form of a 'radio show' on tape, on the fall & rise of the analogue synth, meaning anything along the lines of the moog, theremin, Arp, etc, or home-built things like the Silver Apples or early Kraftwerk used, earlier machines (Ondioline, Teleharmonium, Ondes Martenot, etc) and their origins as instruments for serious composition, the music of Perrey & Kingsley, Pierre Henry's electonic ballet score, as well as music of today drawing on these influences (Stereolab, Aphex Twin, etc). What I'm looking for is people's thoughts relating to this area, especially from any musicians with a taste for the sound of analogue synths, or advice on relevant web sites, particularly any with sound samples of early electronic instruments (i.e. before the mid-60s - any film music/serious compositions). If you're a musician who uses analogue sounds, if you could just send a few lines of e-mail explaining your reasons for using them (if anything other than nostalgia, or wanting to sound like another band!) - what is it about the sound and texture of electronic analogue instruments you find attractive? In what way do you find them different to use from electronic pianos/organs, digital keyboards, etc. What's inspirational about them. I'm also looking for more information about non-pop uses - i.e. serious composers, connections to electro-acoustic music, links between the preceding generation of composers and the 60s musicians (i.e. Pierre Henry studied under Boulez, but can anyone explain the musical/ideological connection between the two? Ditto the influence of Stockhausen on the German groups, some of whose members studied under him?).

Trivia note--his "Light Cavalry" overture was NEARLY used as the theme for the Lone Ranger on radio, but it lost out to "William Tell"! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dada@dma.be (Johan Dada Vis) Subject: (exotica) Ventures sitar Date: 19 Jan 1997 17:33:40 +0100 the Ventures "Super psychedelics" lp on Liberty(also on twofer cd) has 1 sitar track called "endless dream"; it's friendly, nice & clean psychedelia on that lp, but still good; 1 other track, "reflections", sounds like there "in space" stuff. = Johan |)/\|)/\ Vis # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dada@dma.be (Johan Dada Vis) Subject: (exotica) Re: Suites to the Sweet/ Duke Date: 19 Jan 1997 17:33:49 +0100 >From: jfc135@psu.edu (Jessica Cameron) > >Someone mentioned Duke Ellington's suites i came across a Duke cd called just "suites" (forgot de label); is that de one, or is "A DRUM IS A WOMAN" de title? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: basic hip Subject: (exotica) A couple of comps to get excited about Date: 19 Jan 1997 11:36:38 -0800 Jessica Cameron wrote: >Anyhoo, here's my question: are there any other soundtracks or movies > with that "Experiment in Terror" sound/look?

He did one album for them, "In A Mellow Mood" (Camden, CAL/CAS-709; 1962) although he is not credited on the jacket. It is *not* your typical Esquivel album, just all lush strings coupled with his distinctive piano playing (which is the only way anyone would know he was involved).

Right you are, Jack. From Issue #7 of Exotica/Et Cetera: "Ennio Morricone's innovative and popular spaghetti western soundtracks for Sergio Leone (A Fistful of Dollars, The Good , the Bad and the Ugly) established him as a major film music composer. In recent years, Morricone has also written some terrific scores for big budget pictures like The Mission and The Untouchables. Between the spaghetti and the mainstream, Morricone scored three films for budding horror filmmaker Dario Argento: The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, The Cat O'Nine Tails and Four Flies on Grey Velvet, which have been re-released as part of DRG's series of relatively obscure Italian film scores. "This is absolutely classic horror film music, full of the imaginative nuances for which Morricone is known. The main theme to The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is a pretty, almost child-like melody that works as a chilling counterpoint to the carnage that Argento splashes across the screen; the repeated use of the theme elicits a much different response as the film goes on. Another track consists of a woman gasping desperately for breath over the loud and accelearting beat of a human heart, proving that Morricone doesn't need an orchestra to be effective. "The main theme to Cat O'Nine Tails is another lilting melody, "Ninna Nanna in Blu" ("Lullaby in Blue"); its other tracks sport unnerving jazzy syncopation. Four Flies on Grey Velvet is rock 'n' roll a-go-go. The CD also includes an interview with Dario Argento; it's in Italian but an English translation is provided in the liner notes."

It was put out by American International #1001/S1001. It was also later released on Varese Sarabande but seek out the original just for the cover alone.

Used to be carried by national (US) Needle in a Haystack and high-end audio "salons." I still use their brushes (much more wieldy than others), though, as well as the LAST stylus cleaner and stylus protector. It's in three parts. The LAST deep cleaner works like a charm, scouring deep without coating. The LAST preservative is the killer product. I swear this stuff has even fixed skips and other glitches occasionally (a miracle worker). Basically, it gets into the groove at a molecular level or something and fill in the divots and potholes (but not huge chasms of course). My experience backs up the company's claim that an unplayed LP treated with LAST will be in better shape after 100 plays or so than an LP played just once without treatment or then treated with LAST (not to mention records never treated). Also there is a per-play "daily" cleaner that doesn't strip off the LAST preservative. tony __________________________________________________________ Dolemite's Total Experience http://www.charm.net/~wilds/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tony Wilds Subject: (exotica) More Baxter Bombers on 45 Date: 21 Jan 1997 15:36:37 -0500 >And who were The Bombers? Any theories, anyone? Les Baxter and the Bombers also made this 45: Earth Angel/Happy Baby. The A side features a vocal solo by Pat Laird, while the B is a group vocal. The Music for Young Pops LP indicates the Bombers' style (mostly Pat Boone-ish covers of tunes from the previous decade). Perhaps someone decided that "Bombers" was too close to the truth and nixed the name for the LP. But the ease with which Baxter switched among --and always returned to-- so many styles throughout his career is amazing; it's as if the brilliant concept LPs were just more piece work to him. And no matter the style, he tackled each project with the same impeccable standards. (In the case of some material, like varnishing painted wood, but...) While there are many 45 singles of his April-in-Paris material, as well as 45 EP versions of such early LPs as Ritual of the Savage and Music Out of the Moon, one unusual single pairs Baxter with crooner Dick Beavers (a name which should be of some consolation to Dick Hyman): I'm Yours/Kiss of Fire The B-side tango is the standout and belongs in the cheesey lounge-singer hall of fame next to Ray Anthony's [vocal] semi-parody version of "Sway." tony __________________________________________________________ Dolemite's Total Experience http://www.charm.net/~wilds/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: bcleve@tiac.net (Brother Cleve) Subject: Re[2]: (exotica) Les Baxter singles Date: 22 Jan 1997 01:26:42 -0500 Howard Enis wrote: > Is it possible that Capitol marketing lobbed off a couple tracks per > side in order to save $ on royalties paid?

It's "Jungle Rhythm/Dean's Lament." Does anyone have this li'l gem? Is it any good? (it sounds like no matter how good or bad it is, it should be reissued). Dean fans may remember the picture of him playing a conga for his Uncle's pigs back on the farm.

"Twilight Memories" is available from BMG Germany. I've seen it for anywhere from 17.99-22.99.

Harry Revel's Music From Outer Space coonducted by Stu Phillips The cover alone is so amazing and like nothing you've ever seen anywhere on this planet or elsewhere Never released in stereo, it's on MGM-early 50's. This is *real* easy listening as the 3 theremin records are. The music is space age pop in a very easy kind of way and the wordless vocal oohing and ahhing thing is BIG. Sometimes it does sound like a theremin but it isn't. Another great outer space easy listening record is Leith Stevens Exploring The Unknown on RCA circa 1955. Very atmospheric and the cover actually has the Walter Schuman Voices getting top bill w/ no mention of Leith anywhere until you flip it over Spoken word is by Mr Science Fiction or is that Mr Horror (?) Paul Frees and some of the titles are Preparation, Blast off, A New World and the narration is brilliant. It says though that the words were written by Rip Van Winkle. Oh well Then there's Ron Goodwin's Music In Orbit from Capitol. I had this briefly as I traded it away with something else I could certainly live without for; Yma Sumac-Miracles(stereo) Del Close/John Brent-How To Speak Hip w/ the booklet(stereo) Ken Nordine-Twink(mono) Trades like that don't happen everyday BUT they do happen I do remember something like "martians singing" on side 2 but not much more than that AND I do know that outer space easy listening people really dig it so does anyone know about this Goodwin rekkid ? I know he's British and has done soundtracks BUT what about this Music In Orbit LP of his ???
