From: "Moritz R®" Subject: Re: (exotica) Akkordeon Date: 01 Apr 1998 11:23:04 +0000 Thanks for answering. ...accordion culture... But why is that? Is the accordion like a mobile piano? Are these Liscio and filuzzi dances held in public outdoor places? Where and when did this first start? Some facts and infotainment from the net: The word accordion comes from the German word "akkord," which means "agreement, harmony." In China, the accordion is known as the "Sun-Fin-Chin"; in Russia, it is the "bayan"; in Norway the "trekspill"; and in Italy, the "fisarmonica." 1829 the accordion was developed from the mouth organ in Klingenthal, Gemany. The piano keyboard was first put on an accordion by Bouton of Paris in 1852. From that time until the early 1900's the piano accordion was not given much attention or development, but from 1910 onwards the piano accordion came into prominence almost worldwide. With the development of the Stradella bass system (a standardisation of the bass button layout) the piano accordion became the first truly standardised universal accordion. This means that a piano accordionist can play any type or make of piano accordion without a change in system. This had not been possible before as there were so many different button accordions with different systems. The music school in Elmshorn, Germany, has four accordion orchestras: the children's orchestra ("Forte F=FCchse" i.e. "Forte Foxes"), youth orchestra II ("B=E4ren Bande" =3D "Bear Gang"), youth orchestra I ("Suses Tasten Turtles", "Suse's Keyboard Turtles") and the accordion orchestra ("Eddies Rhythmisches Rudel", "Eddies Rhythmic Pack") There are"world cups" of accordion orchestras, which feature 30 and more players each. # 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: "Moritz R®" Subject: (exotica) accordion beatles Date: 01 Apr 1998 11:31:15 +0000 http://home.ican.net/~domenic/accordion.html # 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: "Moritz R®" Subject: (exotica) accordion and Richard Nixon Date: 01 Apr 1998 11:44:54 +0000 Richard Nixon loved to play the accordion. Hard as it may be to comprehend, the man who opened China liked to strap on the old stomach Steinway and belt out a jaunty waltz.If the idea of the 37th president playing the sailor's piano seems somewhat ludicrous, accordion aficionados say that's because the range of what the accordion can play is not appreciated. That Nixon played the accordion should not be surprising when you consider that he also played the piano, clarinet and violin.

I guess all I was saying was that if you don't want to keep too many records that you're not fond of, then you probably wouldn't keep A LOT of Edmondo Ros albums. Maybe you would keep Cugat records that you're not fond of because in general, you have enjoyed his records and it's harder to dismiss the ones that aren't up to his general standard.

I have a cassette copy but would like something a little more durable (and I don't care for commercial cassettes). For those who aren't familiar, Cheap Stories consists of brief readings from lurid pulp novels of 1940's-60's. The narration is intentionally cheesey and over-dramatized (occasionally, the narrator nearly loses his composure and comes close to cracking up) and accompanied by equally cheesey (ambience establishing)jazz. I use cuts on comps occasionally as a sort of sonic spanner to wreck the groove. Does anyone know of any similar sort of thing? I can't recall offhand who is responsible for Cheap Stories... I believe it was a theatrical group that was somewhat active in DC/MD in the 80's. I'd be happy to exchange tapes if anyone is interested in this sort of thing.

(AP) -- Edwin Shoemaker lived the La-Z-Boy life to the very end. He invented the plushly padded, rocking-and-reclining chair, and he died in one, slipping away after settling in for a nap at the age of 90. But the man who left a legacy of leather-bound leisure was no lounger himself. ``This is a guy that wanted to be productive every moment,'' says Matthew Switlik, director of the Monroe County Historical Museum. ``Mr. Shoemaker was in no way ready to lounge around -- he had to be busy.'' Shoemaker died March 15 at his winter home in Arizona. Shoemaker and his cousin Edward Knabusch built La-Z-Boy from a struggling, Depression-era enterprise operating out of a Monroe garage. Together, they produced an American icon of sorts -- ``the bubba chair,'' as Nancy Butler, recliner writer for the trade publication Furniture Today, puts it, ``a guy with beer in one hand and the remote in the other.'' In 1928, while tinkering with pieces of plywood and a yardstick, Shoemaker and Knabusch fashioned an austere, wood-slat reclining lawn chair. After a buyer for a furniture store refused to buy the chair unless it came upholstered, they added that feature. They knew they were on to something. But what to call it? They held a name-the-chair contest, and La-Z-Boy beat out the Sit-N-Snooze, the Slack-Back and the Comfort Carrier. Thirty-three years after the first La-Z-Boy, all the work really paid off. In 1961, Shoemaker combined a platform rocker with a recliner. The result: the La-Z-Boy Reclina-Rocker. It was the right chair at the right time. Television's takeover of America's living rooms was nearly complete. ``I don't think there's any doubt that the recliner and the television are the perfect marriage,'' Butler says. Despite the name, La-Z-Boy executives insist that their chair is not meant to encourage, well, laziness. ``There's a fine line between relaxation and sloth,'' says John Case, vice president of marketing. ``When it starts to move toward the sloth side, that's when we take exception.'' Still, some models make it quite easy to spend life with your feet never touching anything but a padded footrest. Sore muscles? Turn on the massager nestled in the cushions. Can't make it to the phone? Here's a built-in speakerphone. Want to check your stock prices online? Plug your laptop into the chair. The interesting thing is that Shoemaker was not the sort of guy to put his feet up for very long. Up until his death, the man with an eighth-grade education served as executive vice president of engineering and vice chairman of the board. In his later years, he spent much of his time working with the La-Z-Boy museum director on the company's history, and went into the office two or three times a week when in Michigan. ``His concept was that everybody put in a good day's work and should be rewarded with a relaxing chair to sit in,'' says his son, Robert Shoemaker. Or as Switlik puts it: ``He could view the chair as almost like a medical device to get your energy level back up and get back at things again.'' At first, the market for the La-Z-Boy was largely men -- the men who at the time brought home the bacon, then sat back while their wives cooked it. ``The king of the house should have a throne, here's a Reclina-Rocker all your own,'' said one 1963 advertisement. Now La-Z-Boy says women account for half the company's sales. What's more, recliners such as the La-Z-Boy can be hip accessories in the apartments of twenty- and thirtysomethings. A La-Z-Boy is often a piece of furniture as beloved and as personal as, say, a favorite sweater. ``It's the one chair in the house everybody wants,'' says Jill Smith of Sterling Heights, whose family room La-Z-Boy has held up well for 15 years. It was the favorite chair of Sandy, the 21-year-old family cat, who died in October. And when the time comes to go, there are worse ways than in a reclining rocker. Switlik says his own father died sitting in his La-Z-Boy during halftime of a football game. ``That beats the hell out of a cancer ward,'' he says. # 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) knees up las vegas grind criswell Date: 01 Apr 1998 22:50:54 +0100 greetings popsters "Knees-up" - what a quaint old expression - made me smile I can tell ya.

While he's certainly no Machito and no Prado either, I have yet to hear Cugat throw down anything which cooks like Ros' Oye Negra from the Arriba album. Also, when I play Ros' version of Jobim's Meditation (from the Latin Boss album), I can almost feel an ocean breeze blowing indoors when I have all the windows closed. It's better than Jobim's own rendition. Cugat was never quite that cool -- even when he had Machito in his band! I admit to liking some early Cugat (1930's), but I'm convinced that Cugat traded in his Latin roots for the Yankee dollar early in his career! # 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: BasicHip Subject: Re: (exotica) Bad CD Mastering on Les Baxter's Tamboo- Ritual of The Savage Date: 01 Apr 1998 22:23:45 EST << Anyone know if Tikitune usually issues junk or did I get a bad copy? >> there is no "Tikitune". that's one of a number of bootlegs that came out a couple of years ago. sometimes, the tracks don't match the liner listings and you can find typos. others in the two-fer "series": african jazz paired with...i forget astro sounds and miracles skin diver suite and music for a pack of hungry cannibals the passions shock / panic / nighmare stones / psycho percussion zounds with sounds / music from a surplus store the tenth victim with somethin' someone said those mood mosaics could be boots too. # 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: cheryls@babylon.montreal.qc.ca (cheryl shinfield) Subject: Re: Re: (exotica) FWD: La-Z-Boy Inventor Dies in La-Z-Boy Date: 02 Apr 1998 02:05:18 GMT Moritz.Reichelt@munich.netsurf.de,Internet writes: >>Thank you for that story that made the exotica list worth reading today!

Well, I could say that your credibility went down the toilet when I got 7 copies of your message, but that probably wasn't your fault. :) (I'm not mad.) I'm sorry that "Moon River" pushes the wrong buttons for you. I admitted that Audrey's not a great singer, and it's actually not my _favorite_ part of the movie (though I might have said that, I don't remember). I like it because it's cute and sappy, like the rest of the movie, and that rubs some people the wrong way. The lyrics aren't any worse than a lot of other songs. No cake is left out in the rain, for instance. Maybe this is the start of a new thread? I actually can't think of any exotica-ish songs that I really despise. And I can think of some that probably annoy almost eveyone but me (like "Witchita Lineman," even when Jim Neighbors sings it). -Jordana eero67@geocities.com http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2157 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # 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: "Jordana Robinson" Subject: Re: (exotica) re: Breakfast at Tiffany's -Reply Date: 01 Apr 1998 23:41:28 PST BasicHip wrote: >Nate, did you ever get any information on that Sergio >Menendes (sic) guy you had asked about in the below message? > > <<...Brazilia '66" a few times but am assuming that his band is >yet another "Herb Alpert" type group???>>> Sergio Mendes put out several albums with Brasil '66. They're very plentiful in thrift stores, so don't pay too much. The sound is Brazilian samba/bossa nova, not Mexican-derived like Herb Alpert's stuff. In other words, less brassy and upbeat, more guitary and slinky. They do all the Brazilian pop standards: "One Note Samba," "Bim Bom," "Batucada," "So Nice" etc. I have a healthy appreciation for this group, because I love Brazilian music and my parents listened to them often when I was little. If you like stuff like Astrud Gilberto, A. C. Jobim, etc. you'll probably like it, but it might seem a little generic. On later records, they used sitars and odd effects every once in a while, which spiced it up a bit. Also the occassional Beatles cover or what-have-you. I think SM is still putting out records now, but in a blander, adult-contemporary sort of genre. There's also the Sergio Mendes Trio (an early record that sounds like the Brazil '66 stuff) and some records with Brazil '77 that might be disco or something. That was probably more than you wanted to know. -Jordana eero67@geocities.com http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2157 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # 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: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: Mel Henke: unsensible, rough, unelegant, loud Date: 02 Apr 1998 15:00:50 +0200 "Moritz R=C6" wrote: >Henke is so unsensible, rough, unelegant, loud I >don't know.

Cover photo of Eiffel Tower is captioned "Paris is so close via Pan American Airlines". I expected it to be twee, but it is actually really good, drums, bass and a pianist who is up there in the Oscar Peterson/Michel Legrand category. Very fast/flash. But I doubt if he's a Frenchman: the label is Promenade Records (mfg by Synthetic Plastics Co, Newark NJ) and in classic cheap label style, there is a list of other albums in the series, e.g. 2051 Music for lonely lovers 2079 Salute to Irving Berlin 2085 Campfire serenade 2088 Sgt. Bilko Marches (huh?) There must have been many of this type of label. I also bought a Readers Digest album (part of a set, I guess) which had cover picture of a girl walking in a field of poppies, quite a popular e-z listening cover theme.

There are 90 selections which fall into the following categories: Pick-Up Lines Expert Philosophy Setting The Mood Small Talk Special Occasions Phone Messages Warming Up Getting Serious Variety Is The Spice Of Life Looks like the perfect item for multi-disc players with random shuffle, or to drop into homemade tape compilations. Otherwise, I can't for the life of me figure out what TIME expects the purchaser to do with this disc.

Great titles > alone! I need to know more about those reckids. Frolic Diner (5 volumes, and rising) is as good as las vegas grind, though not as seminal for me. It came after it, but keeping up the quality. It sometimes focuses on food and drink songs, mostly exotic (the food and the drinks, i mean; their musical exotic nature being under discussion at the moment in this list. I personally think they are highly exotical, though certainly in a very different way than Denny & Baxter are; I would say D&B are the polite exotic while the artists on those crazy trash comps are the impolite and uncorrect side).

I guess accordion developed because it was easier to carry than a piano, so you could dance wherever the musician went: streets, marketplaces, farms, villages. Nowadays, in Italy we have thousands of orchestras where the leading man plays "fisarmonica" and makes all those middle-aged and old people swing and jump for joy. Though it's a big thing, it's something that deals with older generations, and that means the accordion sound appeals to older people because reminds them of their youth, when that was the only way to shake their thing (there was WW2 back then, and no discos). I don't think it has nothing to do with exotica. I think it's folk, like the tex-mex sound in the south of the states.

And let's face one other fact that should generate more hate mail PRADO IS A HACK, TOO! Both Cugat and Prado started doing legit Latin music but figured out they could earn bigger bucks doing cheez. They were both innovators early on, but ended up on their knees sucking the big one and selling out. The definitive mambo is: Machito circa late 40's, Puente's Cuban Carnival or Dance Mania, Tito Rodriguez circa 55-60, Prado's early stuff, or Beny More's big band stuff circa late 40's, early 50's. AND MACHITO IS THE TRUE MAMBO KING! I do like some very early Cugat and I have received some recommendations since my first statement on the Ros vs. Cugat subject for some good Cugat material. I plan to pursue some of these further. But if I happen to think some Edmundo Ros is worth the one dollar I spent on it, then that's my own problem isn't it? # 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: cheryls@babylon.montreal.qc.ca (cheryl shinfield) Subject: Re: (exotica) knees up Date: 03 Apr 1998 01:37:05 GMT Well, I just had the delightful opportunity to actually hear the famous ditty "Knees Up Mrs. Brown" (don't ask...).

With this background I formed a Mardis Gras Carnival Club called Mondo Kayo (pronounced K-eye-Yo) in 1982. We play through a sound system Exotic Music such as M. Denny, L. Baxter, Dimtri, Gentle People, Tipsy & Esquivel. Its Mardis Gras day at 8:00 am and our system is loud enough to set off the car alarms we pass. We also play Soca, Zouk, Soukous and we wear Tiki Tropical outfits in theme with our belief that we live in a semi-tropical bnana republic. We throw golden bananas and we toast the mayor with the Chaquita Banana cammercial song from th 1940s playing in the backgroud. The list has lead me to tons of songs and artists I never would have heard from and the collectors like Jessica are inspiring me to scrounge through the old record binns (L. Prima is everywhere down here). I would like to also say there was a need for the Mel Henke album to be made & I'm glad it exists.

They could make you like a song a little more but I think the melody is way more important in determining what songs you like. Most lyrics pretty well suck. But in the case of the song I hate the most in the entire world - "The Night Chicago Died" - I'm sure Burt Bacharach could have taken those silly lyrics and made a song I like. I also despise "Sylvia's Mother" but again it's not because of the stupid lyrics. I hate bouncy songs too. But changing the lyrics of "Ob la di ob la da" wouldn't save it for me. Nor would new lyrics help "Winchester Cathedral". Maybe Sarah Vaughn could have saved "Sylvia's Mother" but I doubt it. The way Wilson Pickett saved "Sugar Sugar". "To sir with love" has horrible lyrics but who cares? Sorry if I didn't mention enough exotica songs.

If I want true innovators, I don't usually look to this kind of music at all. I have no idea what REAL cha cha or mambo is. Maybe I once heard some by accident. I don't think true mambo artists often covered the songs from "Hair" the way Edmondo did. That's what I like about this stuff. If they weren't so desperate and so often inept at figuring out what would sell, this stuff would be profoundly more boring. It's when they bring in electic sitar and farfisa organ and do some bongo-laden version of a Monkees song that they approach inspired hackdom for me. Edmondo Ros occasionally did something like that but not enough for me. He's the Jackie Gleason of cha cha for me... except without the cool record covers. Prado did make some mediocre records. I find "Our man in Latin America" surprisingly unaffecting. But "Big Hits by Prado" where he redid all his hits in a more modern style is one of the greatest records I have. Edmondo never recorded anything approaching that. And I'm sure he didn't want to. I'm sure he was trying to sell to a completely different audience. The same audience as Mantovani. > But if I happen to think some EdmundoRos is worth the one dollar I spent on it, then that's my own problem isn't it? I can get you the entire Nana Mouskouri/Roger Whittaker/Hagood Hardy discography if the cost of the records is really a determining factor.

Like "The syncopated clock", if you will. Fits into the Jaques Tati corner, although he never did music for the french comedy director, I think. Has ACCORDION also.There are pieces of Popp with lyrics of Boris Vian, one of them is on a newly published "best of" CD in Holland ("Musique qui fait Popp") and it's so grand, "Java des bombes atomique" is the title. Does anybody know where to find the other Vian-pieces? They were on a compilation called "Chansons possibles et impossibles" and I bet, Popp's tunes are tres impossibles. "Elsa Popping and her Pixieland band" that's also actually Andre Popp! In America available were his albums "Popppp!" and "Holyday for Djs" What a title for 1957! The Exotic touch of his music is partly owed to the fact that he was an autodidact.

The question was, wether the accordion took the place of the piano as the background instrument for dance events when being outdoors. Actually the accordion is a combination of the former mouth organ with bellows and a keyboard. Thanks to Giovanni again for reporting those folkloristic info. I like those kind of mails.

Payoff comes in last graph. --Lou INTENSE 'FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS' SCREENING HAD SOME IN AUDIENCE LOOKING FOR EXIT UNIVERSAL sneaked its movie FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS Tuesday night in North Hollywood. Being described as "one of the most bizarre films ever made," the Terry Gilliam project based on a Hunter Thompson took them to hell and didn't let them come back during its 2 hour screening. "I got sick afterwards," one attendee told the DRUDGE REPORT. "Like they laced my popcorn with angel dust or something." Thompson's 1971 fuss-novel hits the screen after literally 25 years in development and 17 different scripts. Names like Nicholson, Scorsese, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd have been attached over the years. The story follows the adventures of a ROLLING STONE magazine writer [Johnny Depp] who is sent to Las Vegas to cover a Narcotics Enforcement convention. Dark Comedy. No sex, very little violence, it was scenes of graphic drug-tripping -- scenes that make the TRAINSPOTTING boys look like aspirin chewers -- that shocked the crowd and had some looking for exit. One scene that goes down in a Casino has Depp hallucinating lizards. The 10 minute scene comes early in the film and sets tone. "He's in this Casino and all of a sudden every one in it starts to turn into creepy lizard-like creatures," describes a viewer. "Very disturbing... wacky." Depp smokes a cigarillo throughout the film making his continuous drug rants even more over the top, at times reducing him to nothing more than a mumble. "Whenthegoinggetsweird, t h e weird turn pro," or something like that. Depp acts out ether binges, coke tokes, LSD attacks with surprising ease. Camera effects simulate the highs for the viewer. One extended exchange between Depp and his attorney, who is tripping out hard in a bathtub, was so intense and disturbing that several in the screening audience walked out of the theater. [More than a dozen found exit during the film, according to one estimate.] The drink and drug road trip of writer Depp and his attorney is set for release in late May. Just how a new generation will relate to Thompson's "Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream" is an open question at UNIVERSAL. One executive hints that Depp's Hawaiian shirt may become a fashion trend. The movie's soundtrack, said to feature 70's lounge, may also start something. # 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: Mimi Mayer Subject: (exotica) Re: Peter Hipwell: Re: Edmondo Ros Date: 03 Apr 1998 11:24:00 -0500 >> From: Peter Hipwell >In fact, he was Venezuelan.

Date: 03 Apr 1998 09:23:26 -0800 I'm back! >I enjoy this comp even more than the David Byrne-assembled "Dancing With >the Enemy" and that too is a fine compilation. Judging from the recent mail, this list has really changed and a lot of us are coming from completely different directions. Not that it's bad, it's just quite different. I agree the David Byrne comps and especially Arsenio Rodriguez are key to Latin muisc fans. (By the by, did you know Arsenio moved to the states from Cuba to avoid the prejudice he felt against blacks and then died in a downtown LA hotel room alone and broke?). But if you only like the "incredibly Stange" aspect of Edmundo Ros doing Hair, all this will leave you cold. Personally I like Hair because it works on so many levels: as camp, as Incredibly strange, and on odd moments despite itself, as good Latin dance music. For me, these are always the best recordings. If it's just goofy and whacked, it's like a comedy record and really only worth a maybe two listenings. Mel Henke works on the same level for me. It's camp, silly and yet the band really is gorgeous with their big brassy sound. How it's vaguely Latin or even Brasilian is beyond me, but I can see not liking it depending on your point of view. Because I really love Cuban music, I find Prado really bland. Except for some of his early work with Beny More, most of it seems so "dumbed down" and not quite camp enough for me but he was Cuba's most popular export so I must be wrong.

You need those grunts and yells thrown in? Why don't you turn some Cugie records onto 45 rpm and you may like them more. Perhaps what you mean to say is Cugat wasn't fiery like Machito. Perhaps, but Cugie was the symbol of cool. A womanizing, steak eating, Chihuahua carrying, movie starring, big band leading suave businessman that introduced Latin music to mainstream America has some cool in him, brother. You'd better believe it, Sister Sledge! Cugie's musicians thought (along with you) that he was a sell-out because his music was toned down for the mass audience. Well it's true. Mainstream America was not ready for Machito. So the MPC (musically politically correct) folks like yourself have decided that because it wasn't fiery and authentic enough Latin music, he sucked. Wrong! I take my two favorite types of music, Latin and Orchestral pop and I merge them together. It's an awesome merging that may not be for all ears, but before you start railing on Cugie as a "hack", consider whether you would have even heard of Ros or Machito if it weren't for him. Explore his Mercury/Polygram records. The stuff that has yet to see reissue on CD. Perhaps you'll turn your Cugat naivet? into an appreciation of what "cool" (not hot) really is. # 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: Ron Grandia Subject: Re: (exotica) moon river Date: 03 Apr 1998 10:27:50 +0000 Nan Vernon's version of moon river on the "Shots in the Dark" Comp from Del-Fi is fan-fuggin-tastic.

He also did a very nice album in the early 70's, the title of which escapes me, that featured the names of actresses for the song titles.

You use "cheez" in a way that makes me think you have a *negative* value judgment attached to that term. ;-) Everyone's entitled to their taste, and this taste is a good contrast as pretty much the OPPOSITE of me. I, and historically a potential majority of folks on this list, are more drawn to those other artists and started pillaging the thrift stores because, while LPs like POPS & PRADO and ROCKAMBO may not be "definitive," they're much more quirky, eccentric, and, well, *FUN*. "Legit" jazz, "legit" Latin, "legit" big band/swing, are far too often uninteresting to ME. (Give me Dean Elliott over the Dorseys ANY DAY, and Living Stereo-era Prado over all those "definitive mambo" masters combined.) My world, for one, is a much more fun place for them having "sold out." ;-) BTW, I concur with the view stated on here before that Mercury had the near monopoly on cool Cugat LPs. Speaking of Ros, has anyone ever heard his early 70s Phase 4 album THIS IS MY WORLD? It's got this *incredible* lead track with Ros singing about himself and his music, "El Mundo de Edmundo (This Is My World)" that comes off like a theme song for some bombastic Edmundo Ros Sonny & Cher-esque TV show (maybe it WAS!??). I don't have any vivid memories of the rest of the record, but that track is just mind-meltingly amusing to me. And let it be said that Ros' HAIR GOES LATIN is one of my favorite albums to listen to, and for me goes far beyond one-time-joke "camp." I could listen to that sucker indefinitely. (Meanwhile, I don't think I've ever made it all the way through any of those Machito LPs I picked up, but I intend to someday.)

Someone posted: (re Edmundo Ros) >It's on "Heading south of the border" (Phase 4) along with versions of >"Light my fire" (of course), "Hey Jude" (the "3rd man theme" of my >generation) and "I was Kaiser Bill's Batman". And yeah it's a Latin beat. AAAAGGGH not "Kaiser Bill" - Whistling Jack Smith (who he?) that IMO godawful whistling tune from 67 - aaaiiie NOO! It was on UK VH-1's "Sixties weekend" last week (isn't that every weekend on VH-!? aside: what did they show? oh you know the usual, with very few surprises BUT we did get to see the very wonderful MC5 doing "Kick out the Jams" on Beat Club circa 69 - whadda band!!! and some cool footage of Le Jimi Hendrix Experience on German TV in 67 just before they hotfooted it over to do Monterey - dig Noel Redding's shades - lucky I was sittin' near the video :-) Anyway. The mention of "Light my Fire" above makes me wonder what are folks' favourite covers of this Golden Oldie (tm) - howzabout Julie London's treatment on a late-60s album on Liberty (I think it's called "Yummy Yummy Yummy" ?) where she does contemporary pop choons inna sultry torch song stylee (including a smooooochy version of "Louie Louie" of all thangs) And I quite like the Ros version - lush Phase 4 stereo, swingin arrangement as I recall. Any other suggestions?> talkin of the Doors, has anyone out there heard of Swedish band "Soundtrack of Our Lives" ? they're cool IMO. I reckon they've listened to a few Doors albums in their time. Meanwhile ... "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" sounds like a must - am I right in thinking this is the latest Terry Gilliam project? If it's out in the US in May, I guess it'll be summer here in the UK when we can expect a FURORE from our wunnerful popular press. "Must we fling this FILTH at our pop kids" etc. And here's a coupla requests. i) Surf instrumentals. Where to start? ii) AIR. Did anyone happen to tape their recent "Radio 1 In The Mix" sesh?

Where to start? I'm not sure how available they will be in the UK, but here are some CD comps I thought were pretty solid (as opposed to the ubiquitous thrown-together quickies): "Guitar Player Presents Legends Of Guitar -- Surf, Vol. 1" (1991 Rhino R2 70724) Good, strong selection with informative liner notes. "Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 5: Surf" (1994 Rhino R2 71605) Slightly less hard-core selection, also has instructive liner notes. "Rare Surf Volume 1: The South Bay Bands" (1995 AVI/Hepcat CD 5009) "Rare Surf Volume 2: The South Bay Bands" (1995 AVI/Hepcat CD 5010) These get into more obscure areas, actually digging into material that was never released at the time -- some of it mighty fine. Belairs guitarist, Paul Johnson, was involved with the recording of a lot of this stuff. The Nocturnes, a Latino/Anglo surf/r&b/space combo, on Vol. 2 are a real find. The "Teen Beat" series on Britain's own Ace Records (no, no relation -- don't I wish) covers rock 'n' roll instros in general, so pure surf is only part of the mix -- if that matters to you. It's a good series though, with 30 tracks to a disc. They're up to Volume 4 now. The comps should give you a good idea of artists you may want to explore further. There's been so much of this stuff re-released in the 90's. One fun single-artist disc is: The Tornadoes "Bustin' Surfboards" (1993 Sundazed SC 6003). Includes some tracks engineered by young Franky Zappa! m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # 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: "allanc" Subject: (exotica) "The Single Eye" playlist for April 5, 1998. Date: 04 Apr 1998 17:10:47 -0500 "The Single Eye" can be heard every Sunday at 4pm on CKUT 90.3 fm in Montreal, Canada. The Monks: Monk Time "Black Monk Time" + certainly one of the most aggressive sounding 60's bands. The group was formed by a couple of U.S. servicemen stationed in Germany. A sixties classic. By the way, The Fall coverered a couple of their tunes. Fifty Foot Hose: Red the Sign Post "Cauldron" + Outstanding psych plus primitive electronics. What a combination. Silver Apples: Oscillations "Silver Apples" + from 1968. Danny Taylor plays the drums & Simeon plays "the Simeon" which was a home-made electronic instrument constructed out of a series of oscillators (triggered by a telegraph keys & footpedals I believe). When someone says that a band is "ahead of their time", they are talking about the Silver Apples. Lothar & the Hand People: Machines "Presenting..." + Lothar was the name of the group's theremin. One moment the band sounds like clanking machinery & the next a country/folk group. Very odd. Peter Thomas: The Evil Eye "100% Cotton" + from the double cd set on the Crippled Dick Hot Wax label. Combustible Edison: Cadillac "I, Swinger" Spaceheads: Eat the Machine "Spaceheads" + The worlds only drum/trumpet-through-electronics duo. This track was constructed by Stock, Hausen & Walkman's Matt Wand. DJ Food: Mr Quickie Cuts the Cheese "A Recipe for Disaster" + can you spot Hugo Montenegro's "Moog Power" in the mix? Mark 4: Matto Grosso "Stroboscopica" + cd comp on Plastic Records. Nicely done. Stereolab: We're not Adult Oriented "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" Portishead: Wandering Star "Dummy" July: The Way "July" + Sitars & tablas & trippy lyrics. Band members Tony Duhig & John Field went on to form "Jade Warrior", a seventies exotica group (Tho' at the time, no one would have refered to them as that!). 101 Strings: Trippin' on Lunar 07 "Astro-Sounds from Beyond the Year 2000" + from the Scamp cd reissue. Oranj Symphonette: The Pink Panther Theme "Shots in the Dark" + This has to be one of the few compilations where I like every track. Recommended. On Del-Fi Records.

It's one of those records in which the artist's motivation/vision is truly puzzling to me. I can't decide if it's "straight" or not--not that it matters. But does Boone think he's making a "hip" record? Or is it ironic? Could it possibly be? Does he remember his own version of "Tutti Frutti"? Still, I love the orchestral/band arrangements of the metal songs--like on "Crazy Train," when a vocal chorus sings "Woo! Woo!" in train-whistle style. The album is funny and ironic and sincere all at once (if that's possible). Reminds me of when I was a kid, walking the streets of the Lake Tahoe strip with my parents and grandparents. Wayne Newton was playing one of the clubs there, and there was a speaker out on the sidewalk so you could hear his set. I nearly lost it when I heard him do Judas Priest's "You Got Another Think Comin'," but then he segued right into "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. It was truly inspiring.

He said he thought that some heavy metal songs had significant messages in the lyrics, and he wanted to redo the songs so the words would be heard by a different audience. At the same time he realized the humor/camp appeal of the whole idea--which is why he wore a black leather jacket on some awards show. Unfortunately, a lot of conservative Christians don't understand irony/satire, and Boone received a big backlash from his (current) core audience. robert john sloane wrote: > I understand your hesitation with the Pat Boone album, but I have to put > in a (minor) plug for it.

I love the mercury albums I have, especially the ultra atmospheric version of Jungle drums on 'viva cugat'. Although I only own one of his Decca albums, 'Xavier Cugat today', I had the impression that his records on this label was pretty cool as well - can anyone confirm this? regards Jonny, currently very much enjoying hearing Ella Fitzgerald singing 'Laura' _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Where to start? The two Rhino surf comp's m.ace recommended are a good place to start for a general overview of vintage surf instrumentals, although there is a bit of overlap between the two. I would recommend the Guitar Player Presents Legends Of Guitar - Surf Vol.1 for the most bang for your buck. The Rare Surf series is great also, but I believe these are already out of print. Another terrific vintage surf comp: Surf Legends (And Rumors): Rockin' Instrumentals 1961-64 (1995 Garland GRZ-019) This digs into more obscure stuff, but is worth owning just for The Surftones "Cecilia Ann" (later covered by The Pixies). Lots of other gems as well. Some other essential reissues by individual artists: The Best of Dick Dale & His Del-Tones (1989 Rhino R2 75756) The Lively Ones - Hang Five!!! The Best of (1995 Del-Fi CD 9004) The Shadows - Shadows Are Go! (1996 Scamp SCP 9711-2) (The) Ventures In Space (reissued as a two-fer) Of course, there are a lot of great contemporary bands doing instrumental surf, among my faves are: Laika & The Cosmonauts - lovely outer space exotic/spy soundtrack oriented surf from Finland! Los Straighjackets - twangin', footstompin', kick ass surfabilly. Don't miss 'em live! The Fathoms - pure vintage surf with sax. My favorite comps of contemporary surf/exotic bands: Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S. (MaiTai DD 0118) Super spy instrumentals by Combustible Edison, The Tiki Tones, Laika & The Cosmonauts, Los Straightjackets and others Tube: Atlantic Surf Essentials (1996 cherrydisc 22845-2) Surf/spy/sci-fi madness from the U.S. Atlantic coast Spaghetti Vol. 1 "Duck You Suckers!" (One Million Dollar 012) Sort of an Ennio Morricone tribute flavored with sinister spaghetti western instrumentals Thanks for the opportunity to share my tastes.

Nimitz) Subject: (exotica) Space Age Bachelor Pad Music Date: 06 Apr 1998 18:01:22 +0100 I bought the Space Age Pop Vol 1 comp today and I'm really fascinated with the production of this kind of music. Were these artists and composers allowed to go as far as they wanted to or did the recordcompanies say "Hey, y'r not allowed to be *too* experimental" in fear of selling no records? According to the CD-booklet, music like this was really popular at the time so the public obviously didn't mind standards with oddball arrangements! But did the recordcompanies tell the artists "y'r allowed to go this far - but not any further" or did they encourage Esquivel and Co to be as experimental as they wanted to? I mean, this was almost ten years before the Beatles and The Beach Boys made it 'acceptable' to experiment with tapeloops and backwards echoeffects...In terms of 'psychedelic' music, I definitely think that some of these Space Age artists have been and continues to be uncredited for their groundbreaking sonic experiments. In a way, they were the grandfathers of psychedelia and ambient music! Even today's techno music like Mouse On Mars and Aphex Twin bear a remarkable simularity to Space Age music in terms of attitude towards sounds and sonic music in general.

Helmut has some great funky 70's Studio2Stereo albums - best version of Cherry Pink and Apple blossom with echoey femal vocal intro! Another great Light My Fire would have to be off Astrud Gilberto - September 1969. This is perhaps my favourite Astrud album. The production gives her voice a richer quality rather than the ethereal focus of previous albums (that's not to say I don't love em ALL!). Contains the 7min epic Beginnings (off Espresso Espresso), and a great version of the old Bee Gees hit Holiday, and Canto da Ossana? Does anyone have other early 70's albums of Astrud that has similar production? The CTI album with Stanley Turrentine and Deodata is not really THAT sound (I thought this one a bit dissappointing considering).

For the benefit of anyone who is not familiar with Maphis, he was an amazing country-rooted guitarist from Suffolk, VA whose lightening-fast, "flatpicking" style influenced guitarists such as Larry Collins, Roy Clark and Jimmy Bryant. Not only was this guy's sheer speed and precision amazing, but so are the variety of styles he covered. The Flying Fingers disk includes bluegrass, country, guitar boogie, rockabilly, proto-surf (fast double picking, no reverb, of course)and what could be described as exotica (a guitar/bongo exchange on "Navajo" and the strange, Latin influenced "Black Sombrero" which features a pipe organ.

This is a Robert Siodmak-directed film noir, starring Burt Lancaster -- there's also a cool Latin combo in the nightclub scenes. I forget who they are, but it was discussed here at some point. The formal score is by Miklos Rozsa. Includes some good street location footage (LA, I guess). Does anyone else dig location footage in old films for its 'time travel' kick?

Another terrific vintage surf comp: Surf Legends (And Rumors): Rockin' Instrumentals 1961-64 (1995 Garland GRZ-019) This digs into more obscure stuff, but is worth owning just for The Surftones "Cecilia Ann" (later covered by The Pixies).

I can remain silent no longer!!! Xavier Cugat was one of the first Latin orchestra leaders after Don Azpiazu's big hit of "The Peanut Vendor (El Manicero)". His very early work is a really an interesting mix of authentic rhythms, hybrid songs and American arrangements and orchestrations. It was also incredibly popular long before the dogs and ex-wives. He admits he watered down the Cuban thing for Yankee audiences but have you heard Cuban music from the 1920s? I like it now in doses and appreciate the historical significance but it's not what developed later with Beny More' and Arsenio Rodriguez, who were both influenced by our music. Later on, his work was uneven but he did a lot of great rhumbas and his Mambo stuff could be great (best on Blue Moon's two "Mambo!" CDs). Unlike Prado, he was pretty faithful to the clave beat throughout his career. My fear is he is now being judged by the countless hack albums that are being found in thrift bins, which are funny and sometimes pretty good or "incredibly strange", but not representitive of his career. Obviously, I dig Cugie. For me his image is just icing on the cake.

Well, the 1972 album "Astrud Gilberto Now" offers some similarities in sound, but it's not as far out as September, 17 (which is her masterpiece, I agree -- almost her psychedelic record). "Now" is a more laidback affair, with a strong contemporary Brazilian feel to it. It also marks Astrud's debut as a songwriter with four of her own compositions. I like this record a lot, she's more in control of the material and the production than she was before and she sounds much more at ease. I can't really get enough of her, but I've never found anything resembling a discography so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Date: 07 Apr 1998 18:03:54 -0400 (EDT) Nancy Sinatra would like to have a word with you....... * * * * * * THIS IS OUR FIGHTING and FIGHTING BACK PAGE. It is a small forum compared to the media, but it is here and it presents the truth. Editorial This editorial has not been seen by others in our family, but I feel it is important to post it now. This is my opinion and I am not speaking for anyone else. Nancy Sinatra March 9, 1998 THE MACHINE FEEDS ITSELF The vultures are circling their own building in a short-sighted, cynical attempt to cash in on a trend. Entertainment Weekly is a Time Warner Publication. HBO is a Time Warner company. The "Rat Pack" movie is being made for HBO. "Dino" and the remake of "Ocean's 11" are at Warner Bros. The spokespersons or publicists for the various producers involved, HBO and Warner Bros are paid to generate publicity for these projects, all of which fall under the same umbrella: Time Warner. The article presented in the magazine is misleading, inaccurate and worse - malicious. How dare Entertainment Weekly, a Time Warner company, malign three gentlemen who have reaped hundreds and millions of dollars for both the studio and its record labels. This is unconscionable! Why is the Time Warner machine so ready and willing to desecrate the images of three of the century's most prolific and gifted entertainers? At least one of the movies, according to the dreadful script, is obviously based on cartoonish, ill-conceived caricatures that would be out of place even in a "Simpsons" episode. This is clearly a case of the Time Warner machine feeding itself. The article is not only mean spirited, but an incestuous, underhanded publicity stunt. Considering the fact that all the "pack's" legitimate movies are under one roof -- Warners' studios in Burbank, Warners is cheapening and trivializing its own films. It would be like Disney studios making x-rated versions of their classic and cherished animated characters. Ironically, under the current laws, this could not be done, because Mickey Mouse is protected. Frank Sinatra is not. In the article Dean, Sam and Frank are accused of being out of step with the nineties -- and yet Time Warner is packaging and producing several "high-profile" vehicles which showcase, and may destroy, their enduring legacy! More importantly, a whole new young audience has embraced lounge culture and has a reverence for these larger than life folk heroes of the Kennedy era. Isn't it sad that the images that will most likely be presented in these projects will taint this wonderful era for those just discovering it? This undermines the brilliance of the legends' immeasurable contribution to popular culture. For reference on the real "rat pack", please refer to: "Ocean's 11" (1960), "Sergeant's 3" (1962), "4 for Texas" (1963) and "Robin and the 7 Hoods" (1964). If you want to feel the essence of the time, listen to the original music such as: "Sinatra At the Sands", "My Shining Hour - Sammy Davis and Count Basie" and "Dean Martin, The Capitol Years". To the young audience: please continue to appreciate the original material if you want to understand it, and watch the "Frank Sinatra Spectacular for Dismas House" in April on TVLand. It's the real thing. We will continue to strive for a National Right of Privacy and a Federal Right of Publicity and pray that someday those who come after we are gone will not have to suffer this indescribable mixture of anger, sadness and impotence. People deserve to be treated fairly, whether they are doctors, secretaries, teachers, crossing-guards, presidents, homemakers or legends. Nobody in this country should ever be made to feel like a second-class citizen -- including, and especially not, Frank Sinatra. He is the one who has fought all his life for fairplay and equal rights for all people. # 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: "Ray Coffey" Subject: (exotica) Re: Various flotsam (or jetsam?)

I suspect that "Yper" is a cropped spelling of "Hyper" (pronounced "eee pair". In France, the prefix "hyper" is used as a modifier before adjectives (and sometimes nouns) to add emphasis. It's similar to the use of "way" as in "way cool." Favoured among the rich young things of the 16th Arrondissemnt, "hyper", "top" and "super" are the slick American accoutrements of the Parisian adolescent patois, as in "Gainsbourg, ah ouais, il est hyper top cool - superbon."

But when I looked for them, I wasn't so sure anymore.I only found: -Bob Thiele and his Happy Times Orchestra on "Light my fire"... (almost as long as the original version except the original didn't have electric sitar)" - The Ventures on "Underground Fire" - The Enoch Light Singers on "Whoever you are, I love you" and the already mentioned version by Zacharias. What? Where's the Tony Mottola version? Sandy Nelson? Gabor Szabo? AM I going crazy? I must have a Living Guitars version. No? How about the Brass Ring? Damn, I'm sure I've heard Lenny Dee copy that organ solo. Maybe I'm going to have to start loading songlists into my computer. (God forbid.) Or maybe I was thinking of "Fire". I'd better start now, preparing my list for "Eight Miles High". Uh, Bob Thiele again, Soulful Strings... damn. I'm gonna have to organize these things.

He is in reality Henry Jacobs. Extremely weird and cool record in which it seems to be as far as a few older guys I have talked with about it that he is screwing with your head as if you were high on Pot or something. It's pretty damn great, World Pacific 1957 Right, Del Close and John Brent There's a compilation LP called "Swing For A Crime" that has a title by a "Patsy Raye and the Beatnik's" called Beatnik Wish that is this female spoken word piece over bongo drum and weird electronic keyboards and plucking guitar. I just scored the 45 by the Beatniks by the way, probably the only thing they did but "Patsy Raye" isn't listed anywhere" The flip side is a little more stripper-esque with blaring tenor sax and an instrumental. I just scored for myself; Kenneth Patchen reads His Poetry With The Chamber Jazz Sextet Don Morrow's Grimm's Hip Fairly Tales The latter is almost exactly like early Jazzbo with totally cool beat jazz and obviously tongue in cheek but un-be-lieve-a-ble like you NEVER heard anywhere. They are both easily $100+ records. I've never seen the Don Morrow before and only have seen the Patchen twice and both times were $150.00 It's on Cadence and certainly a masterpiece that I have never known the likes of. I may be getting in a Jack Kerouac-Poetry For The Beat Generation but it would be around $125 if it's as clean as the guy says it is. Interested at all ?

The guy answered ''''studio" and sounded just like Ken Nordine! So I'm thinking, this must be some ultra fanatic Ken Noreen fan who has a little record shop that carries all of Ken's radioshow cassettes, and is so into Ken that he even sounds like him. It turns out it was KEN himself! He was real friendly and we talked about a few things and it was real interesting because he sounded just like his records, same rich voice, inflections, going off on weird possibilities. It was great! I wonder if when his wife asks him if he wants bacon or ham with his eggs if he starts pondering philosophical perplexities when he replies? That's a really great story:-) People at the station say that I remind them of Ken and wanted me to interview him a few years ago when "Colors" had just been reissued. They said it would be like 2 Ken Nordine's talking to each other. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT!!! 'Cause there's ONLY 1 Ken Nordine, babe, is what I told 'em and I ain't him! But he only wanted to talk about the NEW stuff, what he's doing NOW and I think that stuff is HOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIBLE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIBLE, down right BAD, so I didn't do it. I ONLY WANT to talk about the old days, THE GENIUS STUFF, not this drek with the dead.

Date: 06 Apr 1998 12:29:59 -0400 (EDT) Nancy Sinatra would like to have a word with you....... * * * * * * THIS IS OUR FIGHTING and FIGHTING BACK PAGE. It is a small forum compared to the media, but it is here and it presents the truth. Editorial This editorial has not been seen by others in our family, but I feel it is important to post it now. This is my opinion and I am not speaking for anyone else. Nancy Sinatra March 9, 1998 THE MACHINE FEEDS ITSELF The vultures are circling their own building in a short-sighted, cynical attempt to cash in on a trend. Entertainment Weekly is a Time Warner Publication. HBO is a Time Warner company. The "Rat Pack" movie is being made for HBO. "Dino" and the remake of "Ocean's 11" are at Warner Bros. The spokespersons or publicists for the various producers involved, HBO and Warner Bros are paid to generate publicity for these projects, all of which fall under the same umbrella: Time Warner. The article presented in the magazine is misleading, inaccurate and worse - malicious. How dare Entertainment Weekly, a Time Warner company, malign three gentlemen who have reaped hundreds and millions of dollars for both the studio and its record labels. This is unconscionable! Why is the Time Warner machine so ready and willing to desecrate the images of three of the century's most prolific and gifted entertainers? At least one of the movies, according to the dreadful script, is obviously based on cartoonish, ill-conceived caricatures that would be out of place even in a "Simpsons" episode. This is clearly a case of the Time Warner machine feeding itself. The article is not only mean spirited, but an incestuous, underhanded publicity stunt. Considering the fact that all the "pack's" legitimate movies are under one roof -- Warners' studios in Burbank, Warners is cheapening and trivializing its own films. It would be like Disney studios making x-rated versions of their classic and cherished animated characters. Ironically, under the current laws, this could not be done, because Mickey Mouse is protected. Frank Sinatra is not. In the article Dean, Sam and Frank are accused of being out of step with the nineties -- and yet Time Warner is packaging and producing several "high-profile" vehicles which showcase, and may destroy, their enduring legacy! More importantly, a whole new young audience has embraced lounge culture and has a reverence for these larger than life folk heroes of the Kennedy era. Isn't it sad that the images that will most likely be presented in these projects will taint this wonderful era for those just discovering it? This undermines the brilliance of the legends' immeasurable contribution to popular culture. For reference on the real "rat pack", please refer to: "Ocean's 11" (1960), "Sergeant's 3" (1962), "4 for Texas" (1963) and "Robin and the 7 Hoods" (1964). If you want to feel the essence of the time, listen to the original music such as: "Sinatra At the Sands", "My Shining Hour - Sammy Davis and Count Basie" and "Dean Martin, The Capitol Years". To the young audience: please continue to appreciate the original material if you want to understand it, and watch the "Frank Sinatra Spectacular for Dismas House" in April on TVLand. It's the real thing. We will continue to strive for a National Right of Privacy and a Federal Right of Publicity and pray that someday those who come after we are gone will not have to suffer this indescribable mixture of anger, sadness and impotence. People deserve to be treated fairly, whether they are doctors, secretaries, teachers, crossing-guards, presidents, homemakers or legends. Nobody in this country should ever be made to feel like a second-class citizen -- including, and especially not, Frank Sinatra. He is the one who has fought all his life for fairplay and equal rights for all people. # 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: sfunk@pop.adn.com (Stephen Funk) Subject: Re: (exotica) FWD: Nancy speaks (and her face ain't smiling!)

I happen to be a big FS fan, and a collector of this "bootleg" live and session material that I find to be an invaluable part of the Sinatra legacy. Rather than sensibly releasing this material for official release (as Frank Zappa and Sue Mingus have done) to combat the bootlegs, she is on a legal rampage to prosecute distributors and retailers of these items. She also tells people they are hurting Sinatra's legacy by purchasing these "alternative" releases, which I feel is very manipulative and untrue. So we have a difference of opinion here, and I guess that puts me on an anti-Nancy wavelength at the moment. Sorry if it came across differently, and this probably isn't the place for me to discuss this anyway. - Steve # 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: "Lazlo Nibble" Subject: (exotica) Acid Brass Date: 08 Apr 1998 21:04:44 -0600 (MDT) > Got a 12" from my brother this afternoon called "Acid Brass" (on Blast > First, 1997) Or in full: Jeremy Deller presents Acid Brass.

Date: 09 Apr 1998 12:53:09 EDT I've got a couple of tapes in the works for our very own (and often hard-to- please) Nate. Here is a collection of oddities that, upon listening, will make chewing on aluminum foil seem like a pleasant alternative. Side One BLUE DANUBE Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band "Oom-Pah-Pah In Hi-Fi" - the first of 4 San Francisco Records LP's on this tape. Richard Gump's (of Gump's) off-key band dressed in army surplus uniforms from the Franco-Prussian war. SONG OF THE ISLANDS Burl Ives "On The Beach At Waikiki" - actually, I like this record quite a bit. great cover of Burl flanked by two hula girls. SONG SAWN BLUE Robert Pritikin "There’s A Song In My Saw" - musical saw rendition of Neil Diamond's hit SMOKEY MOKES Don Davis "Plinkety-Plank-Plunk!" - crazy rickytick piano from former KFRC DJ. (san francisco records) THEME FROM MARY JANE Mrs. Miller "Mary Jane" - from the OST to the movie about stoned students. scored by Mike Curb on the Sidewalk label. I TALK TO THE TREES Ruth Welcome "Zither Magic" GTO The Nutty Squirrels "Sing A Hard Day’s Night" - small, furry mammals destroy this Hot Rod classic from Ronny and the Daytonas THE TURNING POINT Johnny Sea "Day For Decision" - Who the heck is Johnny Sea? Patriotic, spoken word ode to JFK. GOTTA GET TO YOUR HOUSE Ross Bagdasarian "The Music Of David Seville" CONCERTO FOR CALLIOPE Bernie Green "More Than You Can Stand In Hi-Fi" - wackiness in an Andre Popp kind of way. (san francisco records) I GOT YOU, BABE Tiny Tim "God Bless Tiny Tim" - tribute to both Sonny and Tiny BUTTONS AND BOWS Pea Hicks "Lucas And Friends Discover A World Of Sounds" - that's not really our own Pea singing, but he's the mastermind behind this truly one-of-a-kind CD. Side Two THE JOY OF THE LORD Tammy Bakker Oops! "There Comes A Smile" - even more disturbing than the demented puppet, Marcy. is that Jim Bakker on the kazoo? FOX TROT Orchestrope "Musical Gadgetry" - mechanical music THIS GUY’S IN LOVE WITH YOU 101 Strings with Joe Adams "The Sounds Of Love" - part of this record has Bebe Baron's sexy deep breathing and parts have this Joe Adams doing some tremendously cheezy dialogue. MY JESUS, I LOVE THEE Ralph Platt "The Birds Sing His Praise - Volume 2" - whistling like birds, organ and songs of sweet jesus TOUCH ME Hugo Montenegro "Moog Power" - Moog Power has a couple of great tracks on it. it also has a number of horrible ones. like this one. BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL FLOWER Rajput And The Sepoy Mutiny "Flower Power Sitar" - out of key sitar so bad, it's good YOU TURN ME ON Mae West "Way Out West" - cover of the Ian Whitcomb 1965 hit I’M FEELING FINE The Good Twins "Have Gospel - Will Travel" - Dwight and Dwayne Good sing about how happy they are (thanks to the lord). on the Sacred Stereo label, in crimson vinyl and with a bee-yoo-tee-ful cover. SANTA LUCIA Johan Dalgas Frisch "Symphony Of The Birds" JAPANESE BANANA The Chipmunks "Around The World With The Chipmunks" THERE’S A NEW SONG IN MY HEART Marcy "Sing With Marcy" FRENCH ORGAN TUNE French Organ "Razz-Ma-Tazz In Hi-Fi" - more mechanical music from the San Francisco label FISH Leona Anderson "Ernie Kovacs Music Collection" - taken from the LP, "Music To Suffer By" too late, nate. it's in the mail, dude. # 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: Ron Grandia Subject: Re: (exotica) I HATE THAT SONG!!! Date: 09 Apr 1998 10:35:36 +0000 OOOOOHHHHH MMMMMYYYYY GGGOOOOODDDDDDD! I hope you registered that package as hazardous material before you put it in the mail. The dentist in "Marathon Man" looks like a pet-groomer compared to the sadistic likes of you. I must admit, more than a few of my favorite platters are on that list. The Jim and Tammy stuff is too much! Fortunately the tracks on both (!!) of the J&TB puppet records are mercifully short. (Not short enough for most people, though.) Little Marcy does not have that same frenetic quality of Tammy's voice, but that tricked-out, sped-up, overdubby guitar just blows what's left of my mind. The fact that these records are for kids is what kills me dead. And what compilation would not be complete without a "singin' saw" cover of a Neil Diamond hit?

Excerpted from the offical Raymond Scott website: THE RAYMOND SCOTT WEB ARCHIVE http://users.aol.com/DevilDrums "POWERHOUSE" ALERT: CARTOON NETWORK If you watch the CARTOON NETWORK, you'll be hearing a lot of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" in the foreseeable future. CN has licensed the tune from Scott's publisher for two years to use as a running theme between shows & program segments. This was first called to our attention by Brian Ralston, a music student at the University of Arizona, who wrote: "Guy Moon (a film & television composer: 'Brady Bunch-The Movie', 'A Very Brady Sequel', & many Cartoon Network shows like 'Cow and Chicken' & 'The New Adventures of Johnny Quest') recorded 'Powerhouse' with the Seattle Symphony. This was done for the Cartoon Network to use as their theme song. I was fortunate enough to hear this recording on Guy Moon's demo CD." Ralston explained how he happened to hear the new recording: "Every year, Moon comes to the U of Arizona -- he's a graduate -- to talk to students about composing for TV & film. This year, in his visit to our film scoring class & during the following week's discussion, information about the 'Powerhouse' recording was brought to our attention. There were many versions: the entire orchestral arrangement, a segment 30 seconds long, another 20 seconds long, 15 seconds, & 10. Let me just say.... it is truly awesome. An amazing piece of music." The Cartoon Network has already begun using "Powerhouse." & apparently, that's not all, folks. David Fairweather, a longtime Scott fan & friend of Raymond's wife Mitzi, wrote us in early March 1998: "Raymond's music was all over the Cartoon Network last weekend. They played it between every one of the '50 Greatest Cartoons of All Time' hosted by Leonard Maltin. Ditto for '10 Greatest Cartoons of All Time' the next day." REMASTERED RECKLESS NIGHTS! Irwin Chusid was in Sony Studios, New York, with engineer Debra Parkinson, in mid-March working on 24-bit remastering of the Raymond Scott CD, RECKLESS NIGHTS AND TURKISH TWILIGHTS. The album, produced by Chusid with Executive Producer Hal Willner, was originally mastered by Parkinson in Summer 1992 & released on Columbia in December of that year. 24-bit sampling allows for a fuller presence in the transfer from metal master to digital format. Meaning: it sounds a lot better, brighter, more alive. There's more bass, & richer textures. "The overall sound is far superior to the first CD issue," Chusid commented. "We continue to be amazed at discovering the bass in these tracks, especially as compared to the CD. "We're doing only light CEDAR-ing [declicking & decrackling]. Most discs are very clean sounding. We found an alternate take of 'Oil Gusher' where the drums are more prominent in the middle section. The performance is comparable to that on the first CD, & we intend to substitute the newly found version. "Even better is a stunningly different take of 'At An Arabian House Party' -- one of two numbers on the CD by the RS Orchestra -- that features 'comic' horns a la the Quintette in the intro, a great guitar solo in the middle, & a neat tom-tom fill at the end, none of which were on the version used on the '92 release." The remastered CD will be released worldwide (except in the US) by Basta, of Holland, in late Spring. Basta has previously released Scott's SOOTHING SOUNDS FOR BABY & two albums of the Beau Hunks Sextette performing RS tunes. It is hoped that Sony will issue the remastered CD in the US later this year. LIVE CONCERT: ARS FUTURA TO PERFORM RAYMOND SCOTT! April 16, 1998, Philadelphia, PA, USA Philadelphia's most versatile performing arts ensemble, Ars Futura, will present a concert entitled "The Roaring Twentieth" on Thursday, April 16 at 7:30 pm, at the Philadelphia Art Alliance.

Included will be familiar dance movements of Shostakovich, Ravel, Salzedo & Weill, as well as ragtime pieces by Hindemith, Stravinsky & William Bolcom.

Also included on the program is the world premiere of Ars Futura's first commission, Sean Hickey's Runes & Alphabets. The performance will begin with commentary from Darin Kelly, the group's leader & arranger, along with intros by special guests Sean Hickey & Irwin Chusid, Director of the Raymond Scott Archives.

What I want to know right now though is whether the song "Lesbian Seagull" by Tom Wilson is some Dr. Demento classic and I just didn't know it. My friend had that song on a dub of a dub of a well-travelled tape. It was a camp classic for us. And then one day I actually found the record "Gay Name Game". And hey look who the session guys are, among others: Moe Wechsler and Billy Mure. So maybe people know about this record. Maybe it's been released and re-released on countless camp CD compilations. Maybe it's not the buried treasure I thought it was. Maybe this Tom Wilson is a big star in Philadelphia, where he seems to come from and this record is just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe the song is tongue in cheek, which you would hope it is but I don't think so. Inform me ye camp/novelty/exotica experts. And if nobody has it I might put it on tape for a few...

If it's the same song, then the Beavis and Butthead and/or Englebert version certainly wasn't the original. The record I have is from 1979 and all the songs were written by the singer, Tom Wilson. If you know the B & B song, then is this the first verse: "She flies so gracefully over rocks and trees and sand Soaring over cliffs and gently floating down to land She proudly lifts her voice to sound the mating call And so her mate responds by singing Caw Caw Caw..." If it's the same song, is the modern version on a CD?

As I will be moving from Quebec to Ontario this week, this is the last show I will be hosting before turning the programme over to fellow Exotica list members Cheryl & Brian. Comments & questions welcome (er...before I unsub tomorrow & resub in about a week). See you on the flipside... Allan Criswell: Plan 9 Intro & Theme "Mondo Movies Music" + released by Big Beat records. There are a few songs on this release, but it features mostly spoken word trailers for such cinematic gems such as "Night of the Ghouls", "Maniacs are Loose" & "Thrill Killers". Dimitri from Paris: Prologue "Sacrebleu" + I don't think I've enjoyed a cd this much since Tipsy's "Trip Tease". Nurse With Wound: Darkness Fish "Who can I turn to Stereo" + Musical surrealism. DJ Vadim: Theme from Conquest of the Irrational "USSR Reconstruction" + remix by The Prunes. The Creed Taylor Orchestra: The Secret "Shock Music in Hi-Fi" + this is a seriously twisted record. Elliot Fisher: Dr. No's Fantasy "Bongoland" + one of the recent Ultra-Lounge releases. Johnny Hawksworth: Jane Bond Theme "Betty Page: Jungle Girl" + this comp features production music in the jungle-jazz/mambo/crime styles. United Future Organization: Fool's Paradise "3rd Perspective" + "Secret Agent Swing from the Cosmic DJ Collective" sez the sticker. Very good indeed. The Hollywood Persuaders: Drums A-Go-Go "Las Vegas Grind Pt 1" Dick Hyman: The Moog & Me "Moog: The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman" + cd reissue on the Varese Sarabande label. Dimitri from Paris: Dirty Larry "Sacrebleu" Thievery Corporation: Vivid "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi" + lots of smooth dub & the occassional latin-tinged instrumental. This particular track features tablas, moog & harpsichord (I think). Cornershop: My Dancing Days are Done "Woman's Gotta Have It" + from the groups 1995 release. This sitar & tabla track is far superior to their recent "hit". Tricky: Ponderosa "Maxinquay" + I just finished reading Phil Johnson's "Straight Outa Bristol - Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky & the Roots of Trip-Hop" (Sceptre paperback). Has to be one of the best music-related books published lately. Esquivel: Sentimental Journey "Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music" Neu!: Neuschnee "Neu 2" + Krautrock classic. Imitated by many, surpassed by none. Danielle Dax: Tomorrow Never Knows "Blast the Human Flower" + Whatever became of D.

I think there was some mention of it about six months ago, but I can't find the post. Considering the price (over US$60), I wondered if it featured actual footage of Prado or what. BTW, does anyone have any videos of Prado in action? Or a copy of the Jane Russell movie "Underwater" in which he supposedly makes an appearance or know where there's a copy (in stock) that's for sale? It's currently "out of print" from the publisher. Also, he's listed as being a guest on the Ed Sullivan Show. Does anyone know the exact date? The year probably coincided with his hits "Cherry Pink" or "Patricia" hitting #1 in 1955 and 1958, respectively. Thanks!

I was sorting through my collection and noticed Command did more than one "special" release LPs. There may be a name for this pervasive practice, but these are the specially numbered LPs "prepared expressly" for this or that company. It seems most prominent record labels did this...culling cuts from their catalogs, slapping together some generic artwork (sometimes laying out the product line of the company the album was made for) and running a bunch for distribution by the company. It made a great promotional device for the company AND for the label ("now that you've heard one cut from each of these artists, you can go out and buy the entire albums..."). I sort of enjoy these more than the self-promotional albums for the label itself because of the additional product advertisements. My question is: what Command special LPs are you familiar with and which cuts seem to be used again and again? I've got three in my collection now: CPS-1 SD/ OL-4 SD "Command Pops Special" prepared expressly for Olympic Radio & Television Division, Long Island City, NY. Total Time 32:06. This one is interesting in that the CPS-1 number is what is on the label and OL-4 is on the cover. My theory is that Olympic went for the cut rate special here...using a generic special LP that slipped into a custom cover (which was not a gatefold nor did it list the cuts). I bet that other special releases for the cheap companies were also CPS-1. Cheek to Cheek Beguine Tampico Forty-Second Street Vieni, Vieni I Want to Be Happy Johnny One Note Moon River Temptation While We're Young Love for Sale Tra Veglia E Sonna On the Street Where You Live WH-1 SD "Westinghouse Presents The Best of Command Records". Total Time: 37:07. This one had the standard Command label, but the label information was mostly consistant with the album cover, although it said "The Best in Command." Go figure. So this issue was probably unique to Westinghouse? Cheek to Cheek If I Loved You Love for Sale Nina Let's Fall in Love Big Ben Bossa I'm Over Here Tonight Walking to Winnetka Moments to Remember Cumana The Cocoanut Wireless MD-5 SD "Magnovox Presents Command Records". Total Time: 32:35. Here even the label was custom...a plain white label without the Command logo.

I can second that! A couple of weekends ago, I just got a load of vinyl which I will be summarizing the highlights for the list soon. It included the aforementioned Prado LP. Before any talk is started, this acquisition was not achieved by elbowing Jessica away from any thrift stores. Furthermore, YES, there were a number of Cugat LP's and YES there was an LP sampler with...Edmundo Ros! Since I wasn't fussing about either of them, I guess it isn't poetic justice. Let's call it prose justice. The LP in question also features the fabulous Prado "Unh!" and "O Ganso", which I have also acquired in perhaps it's original form on the "Gentle Rain" soundtrack. For those who read my post of last("Lest we Fugat..."), two of the tracks from the LP made it to the sampler "Bravos Del Ritmo", which you could buy before or after Prado and still be a happy chappy or groovin' wooman. For those of us who don't speak Spanish, Estas Si Viven translates as "The Living End" and the cover features a waist high picture of the North end of two Southbound women.

Date: 14 Apr 1998 15:46:35 +0000 Hi, Brian, I wrote a really long letter and then the computer crashed. Scheisse! It was all about Heintje and Heino and instrumental Volksmusik in the alp-countries. Damn software! I don't know if I can redo it all. I'll try... Heintje, who is actually Dutch, was a child star with his big hit "Mama" and nobody really nobody cares about his music, there is no devided opinion about it. It's all very unfunky. Whereas Heino has some weird qualities that make him at least being "camp" in my opinion. Because of his weird look - as an albino he wears sunglasses - as well because of the fact that he seems to have some humor despite his nationalistic appearance in general. When the punks in the 80s made him their Nr.1 enemy and fun of him by wearing blond wigs and sunglasses, he appeared in a TV-show in a punk outfit. His music however is neither Schlager nor German "country", it's Volksmusik or "volkst=FCmliche Musik" as they put it today to include non-traditional material. I didn't hear all of the hundreds or so records that he made (I don't like it), so I can't tell the good songs from the crab. I only own the only two records, where you can see him without his shades and you see his strange eyes popping out of his face. His lyrics, if not old folk songs, are all about men friendship, soldier dignitiy, adventure comradship, climbing mountains, sailing seas, "love" so deep you drown in it etc etc. and I don't know what... Forget him, if you can. If not you might end up listening to "Zillertaler Sch=FCrzenj=E4ger" or "Margot Hellwig Duo". There is however really interesting instrumental Volksmusik from countries like Austria, Tyrol, Switzerland and also Bavaria (where I live), and I should really know more about it. It is often played on dulcimers (Hackbrett, Zither) and can be really fast and serial, like Steve Reich or Terry Riley with alp-harmonies. It's really worth an expedition to find out more about its history and the people who made it. I listen to this kind of music when I drive through those landscapes to give them a proper soundtrack... But, you know, what I do right now is reading the books of Thor Heyerdahl and his southsea expeditions. That's why I'm in the Exotica mailing list, I guess. I finished "Con Tiki" and "Fatu Hiva", the island where he lived "back to nature" for more than a year and I just started "The Secrets of the Easter Islands". And you know what I found out to my greatest surprise: TIKI really lived! Yes! Heyerdahl claimes that the myths of the natives of Polynesia all identically tell the story of their primal god, the forefather of all forefathers, Tiki, who came in an ocean-raft from "The East", which is the direction of South America. In Peru there was a god king, who appears in the old tales of the Indians, called Con-Tici-Viracocha, or just Tici, Ticci or Tiki, his official title, when he ruled Tiahuanaco, who left the country one day to the open sea and never came back. He apparentely had red hair, bright skin and a beard. When the second Spanish ship reached Fatu Hiva of the Marquesan islands in 1595 the sailors described some of the natives as white skinned, red-haired and bearded. Thor Heyerdahl has an endless list of proofs that the polynesian islands were settled from South america, such as the plants, the animals and artworks, that you can find in both regions, so there is no doubt about that. Question is: where did Tiki and his tribe come from in the first place, as they were not Peruvian natives and don't seem to fit into the Southamerican folkscheme. Legend is they came from a far away country from the north. Where they Vikings? Heyerdahl never says that, at least not in the books that I have read so far. Oh, the letter is going to become too long.

On the other hand, I understand Heyerdahls fascination in this matter, and he really has some stunning examples of similarity in culture between the two areas. Maybe they all "did" South America and then left for a greater paradise ;) Ehh well... A paradise until the europeans came along.

It's in the Hotel Bayrischer Hof, Promenadenplatz. Check out the Atomic Cafe, to see what they're playing. Today they have Mouse On Mars, great Duo from Dusseldorf. Easy listening in a nice environment is played in the "Egon Bar", Seitzstrasse 12. A MUST. In the Hofbrauhaus you can drink beer by liters and dance on the table, while bavarian oompah music is played. when it's warm enough visit a beergarden, the one at the chinese tower (english garden) has live music sometimes. get a "prinz"-magazine to see whats going on or an "in", which you find lying out for free in many bars. Eat at the Waikiki, Tengstrasse/Georgenstrasse...or at Trader Vic's. Have brunch sunday morning at Weisses Brauhaus, Tal. Weisswurst, sweet mustard and live oompah!

That indicates that Tiki and his people came from somewhere else and stayed in Peru only for a while. On the other hand it is very difficult to find 100% polynesians today. Heyerdahl had already difficulties to find them 50 years ago. Many many died from diseases brought by the westeners, many mixed.

I'm sure many list members enjoy their two tracks on the Sound Spectrum compilation, 'a touch of velvet, a sting of brass' and 'split level'. Also, there's 'le blon' from the 'house of loungecore, easy project vol 2' collection, which was mentioned in Jimmy's playlist. It's great, crisp orchestral easy listening with a swinging percussive backing. In addition, I recall one or more tracks (one was 'this guy's in love) on some of the compilation double LPs released on the Marble Arch label in the UK in the late sixties and early seventies. But I have NEVER seen any trace of a record or full length LP exclusively by them. Was one made? If so, does anyone have it? Or was it just production music? Please tell me there's more... regards Jonny _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

New Jersey Online, NJO, New Jersey's premier Internet publisher, features The Frank Sinatra Celebrity Shrine where you can track the life and times of Old Blue Eyes himself, from his humble Hoboken beginnings through his hey-day in Hollywood to the rumor mill of today. "Frank Sinatra - The Voice of Hoboken" ( http://www.nj.com/sinatra ), breaks new ground on the Web in a multimedia 'Net documentary. NJO lets the voices of Sinatra friends and admirers tell the story of Hoboken's most beloved hometown boy. Using RealMedia's Real Presenter software, the "in their own voices" tour mixes with vintage and present-day photographs for a dynamic 'Net documentary. There's no clicking required, as you listen to Sinatra's longtime neighbor and fan Rose Cerbo, Hoboken Mayor Anthony Russo and biographer Ed Shirak share the anecdotes and influences of an American icon. "You can find a lot of information about Frank Sinatra on the Web," said New Jersey Online Entertainment Producer Randy Abramson, "but we wanted to create a site that focused on the influence he's had on his hometown and home state. And we wanted to do it with the latest technology." Visit NJO's Sinatra photo gallery that follows "The Chairman of the Board" from the early days through his high-profile romances, the "Rat Pack" years into his very active retirement. Check out the stories from the Star-Ledger, the song and video clips in the multimedia section and talk Frankly in the forum. Or send an electronic card with sound and a personal message to your favorite fan or to Sinatra's family -- we've got Sinatra's e-mail address. # 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: Jack Subject: (exotica) Playlist for Jack, 3-29-98 Date: 14 Apr 1998 16:37:16 -0700 KFJC play list 3/29/98 for Jack Diamond ARTIST TRACK ALBUM The Planets Chunky Lee Konitz With!

DavidR. Brian Phillips on 13/04/98 03:01:06 PM cc: (bcc: David Retief/Tredcor) It was written: >[The Monkees theme]It's available on Estas Si Viven (PGD/Polygram Latino 31462-2). >Fantastic CD--includes killer covers of "Fly Me to the Moon" and "The Eyes of Texas >Are Upon You." I can second that! A couple of weekends ago, I just got a load of vinyl which I will be summarizing the highlights for the list soon. It included the aforementioned Prado LP. Before any talk is started, this acquisition was not achieved by elbowing Jessica away from any thrift stores. Furthermore, YES, there were a number of Cugat LP's and YES there was an LP sampler with...Edmundo Ros! Since I wasn't fussing about either of them, I guess it isn't poetic justice. Let's call it prose justice. The LP in question also features the fabulous Prado "Unh!" and "O Ganso", which I have also acquired in perhaps it's original form on the "Gentle Rain" soundtrack. For those who read my post of last("Lest we Fugat..."), two of the tracks from the LP made it to the sampler "Bravos Del Ritmo", which you could buy before or after Prado and still be a happy chappy or groovin' wooman. For those of us who don't speak Spanish, Estas Si Viven translates as "The Living End" and the cover features a waist high picture of the North end of two Southbound women.

You use "cheez" in a way that makes me think you have a *negative* value judgment attached to that term. ;-) Everyone's entitled to their taste, and this taste is a good contrast as pretty much the OPPOSITE of me. I, and historically a potential majority of folks on this list, are more drawn to those other artists and started pillaging the thrift stores because, while LPs like POPS & PRADO and ROCKAMBO may not be "definitive," they're much more quirky, eccentric, and, well, *FUN*. "Legit" jazz, "legit" Latin, "legit" big band/swing, are far too often uninteresting to ME. (Give me Dean Elliott over the Dorseys ANY DAY, and Living Stereo-era Prado over all those "definitive mambo" masters combined.) My world, for one, is a much more fun place for them having "sold out." ;-) BTW, I concur with the view stated on here before that Mercury had the near monopoly on cool Cugat LPs. Speaking of Ros, has anyone ever heard his early 70s Phase 4 album THIS IS MY WORLD? It's got this *incredible* lead track with Ros singing about himself and his music, "El Mundo de Edmundo (This Is My World)" that comes off like a theme song for some bombastic Edmundo Ros Sonny & Cher-esque TV show (maybe it WAS!??). I don't have any vivid memories of the rest of the record, but that track is just mind-meltingly amusing to me. And let it be said that Ros' HAIR GOES LATIN is one of my favorite albums to listen to, and for me goes far beyond one-time-joke "camp." I could listen to that sucker indefinitely. (Meanwhile, I don't think I've ever made it all the way through any of those Machito LPs I picked up, but I intend to someday.)

The collection is about 400 or so albums which, combined with my collection, brings me up to about 409 albums. This is an extremely conservative estimate. Not all of it is exotica (Ray Conniff. Noooooo!) so I will not bother you with the stuff I don't feel meshes with the list. I will also issue my standard disclaimer: sorry if someone has mentioned this before. You also will not be reading about ALL of the things that I got that I feel will be of interest in this post alone. I would like to spread it out, so I can give the albums their due and not bore all of you. Who needs a bunch of angry villagers storming my house holding Tiki torches? Pagan Love - Stanley Wilson (Capitol T-1552) This is hot stuff, down to the cover (a far away shot of a woman who must have left the house in an awful hurry. Hope the shower isn't still running). The back cover has rather garish line drawings. See it at http://www.tamboo.com/Selections60.html The liners say that this was composed for a documentary called "The Mating Urge". The titles range from conservative (The Proposal) to the descriptive (Abduction of the Bride) to the "Wow" (The South Seas Can-Can!?), each title has a country and a description next to it. "Abduction" sounds somewhat like Respighi's Pines of Rome in spots, the whole affair is very Les Baxter-esque (it is a Capitol record!). Lush orchestration and winning tunes. Viva Wilson! More Bagels and Bongos - Irving Fields Trio (Decca DL 74114) The thrust behind this series of albums is "...a wonderful blend of popular Yiddish Favorites set to various Latin American rhythms..." The cover shows a happy couple, a bongo player either cropped out of the picture or cursed to live life with only two hands and a lap and 11 rows of, yup bagels hanging behind the couple. Reading the notes, I see that Fields composed "Managua, Nicaragua" which Dr. Demento played when the news was filled with stories about Nicaragua. The music consists of a piano, bass and either bongos or highly resonant bagels being struck rhythmically. The music is quite nice and it is indeed a blend of cultures, with neither winning or losing. A rather enjoyable outing (not the Lesbian Seagull kind of outing, Nat!). Some of the titles: I'll Always Be Yours, My Hometown Girl, Bublitchki and my favorite, Hora Merengue. Hot and Cole - Buddy Cole (Warner Bros WS-1252) (1958) Personnel - Cole - Organ, Red Callender - Bass, Vince Terri - Gutar, Alvin Stoller - Drums The cover is a woman's head, mouth slightly agape, licking her lips. Apparently, this was his second album for the WB, the first being "Have Organ, Will Swing" (whatever that is supposed to mean). the liners are also in dubious taste [referring to the executives that were pleasantly surprised with the sales of his first record] "The first thing they thought was simply, "Wow!" Which, with just the right kind of shake of the head, indicates a profound admiration and appreciation of Buddy's swinging organ." In an odd move, the back album suggests other Organ albums for listening pleasure and they list OTHER companies labels (Yes, Lenny Dee is mentioned!) While Mr. Cole is not Jimmy Smith or John Patton, he does quite well on "Lullaby of the Leaves" and "Idaho". It is a pleasantly swinging album of standards. The Astromusical House of Pisces - Ed Bland (G.W.P 1012) (1969) Cover is a woman kneeling wearing a Sea Green (Pisces' color) one-piece bathing suit designed by Oscar de la Renta. Apparently, this is a sign of the Poet or Interpreter. I could quote from these hilarious notes all day. 1. "In A WHITER SHADE OF PALE, the Piscean opens for us the ultimate of his retreat." 2. "MY FAVORITE THINGS, for the Pisces born, will probably evok memories of days at the beach, picnics with gay friends in amiable congregation..." 3. "But for the Pisces, the space left by the lost love is hastily peopled with goblins of fear..." Carroll Richter (Astrologist) could have gone into comedy. There are 11 other albums (I only have this one. I am a Libra, son of a book) each programmed to the particular sign. Please refer to the artist credit. Bland is right. This is a dreadful album of tepid muzak that is best forgotten, or hopefully will come off after a few tomato juice baths. The Gentle Rain - Music by Luiz Bonfa, Arranged and Conducted by Eumir Deodato (Mercury MG 21016) (1966) The movie was about a lonely and frustrated woman who flies to Rio de Janeiro and meets a fellow with trauma-related muteness. For a film with such a morose plot, the music is, on the whole, rather lively. Hoora for Bonfa! It features "O Ganso", in two versions and many other great songs. It's one of those soundtracks that is good enough that I needn't see the movie. Sometimes full orchestra, sometimes small combo, all wonderful. Summary (if you ever see any of these albums) Pagan Love - Buy! More Bagels and Bongos - Buy. Hot and Cole - Buy! ...Pisces - Don't buy, unless it's a dime and it has the liner notes. The Gentle Rain - Buy!

NO ONE IS Date: 16 Apr 1998 06:14:06 -0700 There truly is no one like Ken Nordine or what he does, truly. Certainly not an opinion, fact. He is not "like" Lord Buckley nor is Buckley like him. More than anything, for me he is a storyteller who paints pictures in my mind with his strange and bizarre stories that he sounds like he just makes up on the spot, not a rehearsed sound at all. The pregnant pauses and phrasing is so matter of fact, he is just talking really, in a very understandable and friendly way with that BOTTOM OF THE BARREL deep DEEP and dark warm Burgundy Voice of his, with THE COOLEST of 1950's west coast jazz behind him that is also so perfect and apropos for Ken. It's a collection from his 1st 4 LP's for DOT. When I think back on it, I'm surprised DOT allowed him to do those things on their label considering that they pulled Kerouacs "Poetry For A Beat Generation" also originally released on DOT for the 1st few hundred copies, if that. But Ken was an already very commercial recording voice over artist, there must have been some serious payola going on there, as opposed to Kerouac. Venturing into the mid to late 60's came COLORS and TWINK. COLORS were originally 24 SPOTS that were very real commercial radio spots for a PAINT company that hired Ken and his genius that were played on commercial radio that described...guess what. At the end of the SPOT, Ken would come on again and say "And for the Whatever Paint Co., This is Ken Nordine" People would call the station and actually request that the "piece" be played again and they couldn't BECAUSE it was a Paid Advertisement. Think about that for a second. In 66 or so when Ken's contract had run out he bought the spots from the agency or whomever and compiled them, 1 1/2 minutes each in length, into an LP and called it COLORS, leaving off the tag at the end. He paints (no pun intended) pictures with words that are so clear in my mind, that are so real, I can really see it happening, no matter what it is "Long ago, when time began, Oh, long before that, when light was trying to decide who should be in and who should be out of the spectrum, YELLOW was in trouble, even then. It seems that GREEN, oh you know how GREEN can be, some silly little tribal envy I suppose, didn't want YELLOW in. .........."When BLUE heard what was up between GREEN and YELLOW, BLUE took GREEN aside and said that if BLUE and YELLOW got together,NOT THAT THEY WOULD BUT IF THEY DID, THEY could make their own GREEN. OH! said GREEN with some understanding." It continues with what HAS TO BE 1 of the greatest LINES of the century. "AND WITH A SUDDEN CHANGE OF HUE, GREEN SAW THE LIGHT and YELLOW GOT IN" I remember years ago, someone called me on the air and requested a title that they didn't know the name of but described it as such "Where the COLORS ARE FIGHTING" I knew exactly where it was from and what it was from all of the many Nordine records I have, it was more than clear. I thought that was 1 of the coolest and sweetest requests I ever got. Originally released as 24 titles on the LP, 12 more COLOR SPOTS were issued on the CD release though I think those are actually inferior to the original 24 that were on the LP, but that's just me. "Ken Nordine Does Robert Shure's TWINK" is what I think are not Ken's own personal work but this Robert Shure's work. I can't ever really remember reading the Liner Notes, but I don't think it's Ken's own stuff. BRILLIANT none the less because what it is, is Ken having these incredibly weird conversations with himself with all sorts of bizarre sound effects in the mix, musical,electronic and otherwise. With titles such as "Indians, Gabardine, Cigars, Breathing, Firefly, Why Were You Born, Suede and Windshield Wipers" In "Suede", Ken asks or says "I'm afraid to wear my suede pants today", the other Ken then asks "WHY ? I'm Afraid I'll sneeze...."So ?" comes the answer.... "You can't get sneeze off of suede". I think it lasts about 20 seconds WEIRD and true! "I think my Windshield Wipers are falling in love with each other"..."Oh really" comes the answer..."Yes, they are always chasing each other but never seem to catch up" Especially great in Stereo with 1 voice coming out of 1 channel and the other out of the other channel. With close to 40 titles, they can range from 18 secs to 2 minutes they are WEIRD and really like nothing that preceded it that was ever released commercially on any of his LP's. For me, the only LP after TWINK that has anything worthwhile came in the 70's on Ken's own SNAIL record label and that is "Stare With Your Ears" and on that there is "Alphabet" in which he does kind of a "song" but not really a "song" that he does his "Word Jazz" on the letters of the alphabet that 1 can literally see what the letters are doing and it does rhyme pretty damn swell and has this musical beat going on. Rhino's "Best of Word Jazz Vol 1" is an incredible and extremely affordable introduction to this 1 of a kind spoken word beatnik art genius that is a collection from his 1st 4 LP's (1957-1960) and then again, there is COLORS. NO ONE DOES WHAT KEN NORDINE DOES, THERE IS NO ONE ON THIS PLANET LIKE KEN NORDINE, PERIOD. I've listened to him for so many years and pieces I have heard for all of that time still ab-so-lute-ly boggle my mind and totally kills me dead. BOOM, THUD as my head bounces off of the hardwood floor. Ken is all by himself on this 1. Truly an original 1 of a kind artist.

Nice coincidence Tom! As it happens I taped the April 5th broadcast of RadioSonic on CBC Radio 2 (in Canada). The evening's theme was "Incredibly Strange Music", and it featured "My Bathroom..." (among many other gems...). I thought "hmmm, I should track this one down..." And now I have a lead, thanks. Anyone else catch this show, btw? Also, if I remember correctly: in Japan, Copyright for NON-JAPANESE recordings is honoured for only 25 (or is it 20?) years from the date of recording. So recordings made prior to 1973 would revert to the "public domain": no royalties are payable on the *recording* (the *authorship* is another issue - but usually a moot point when discussing "library" music, or in-house jingles) . Technically, the edition you have might be perfectly legitimate, *WHEN SOLD OUTSIDE THE U.S.* (and assuming it was actually pressed IN Japan). I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, cuz I haven't got my trusty Reference next to me... And yet I concede that the label name and press-run figures sound suspiciously (and familiarly) like those of a bootlegger... What the hell, I want a copy!

Can someone (Robbie?) tell me who exactly Chris Dedrick is, and from what planet he comes? These are some of the most warped out lyrics EVER. . . "I'm a Yogi," with its electric sitar and shimmering Flanged vocals is just stunning. Somebody, I forget who, coined the useful term "Flower Pop"--and musically I think this must be the pinnacle of the style. . . Is this what happens when Enoch Light stays up all night listening to _Sgt. Pepper_ and says to himself, "dammit, why should that George Martin have all the fun? I can do this!" In other news: If there are any London Phase 4 Stereo completists out there, I just came across a Will Glahe polka record (in *blistering* High Fidelity), and tucked inside it there was a sheet listing about 160 Phase 4 titles, including a couple of song titles for each. Specifically it lists catalog numbers SP 44001 through SP 44196. (There are about 30 numbers missing from the sequence, either out of print by this time or never issued.) If this arcane information could be useful to anyone, just email me. (If someone is doing the definitive Phase Four website, I can scan in the whole list for you.) The thing I found most interesting was that out of the first twelve releases, ten had the word "Percussion" worked into their names--I guess we know where the idea for this series came from!

(Or maybe that's my challenge every day of my life...) I didn't recognize all the cuts in this tape but I thought I saw the pattern. "Living Voices" doing "Positively 4th Street" might have been another example. I guess I just want to say that not all BIG WHITE CHOIRS are doing the same thing. They're not all committing nearly the same degree of "pablum-ization". Some of these "groups" actually had an agenda. Making rock music "safe" for I don't know who... It wasn't just an attempt to sell records. It was like PROPAGANDA. The Doodletown Pipers were like "Up with People", selling a lifestyle to kids. They were missionaries. And the reason for that rant originates in my fervent opinion that the Montenegro cut is way out of place in that list. That cut and the whole record that it comes from, I'd put closer to the actual Beach Boys than to the Doodetowners (once referenced by Homer Simpson.) I know everybody has their own line where some of the stuff we discuss here passes out of "irritainment" and into "actual music". And I know that some don't even have a line. I can see how you might include that Montenegro cut on a "mixed" tape and if it's on the tape as "contrast", I guess I can see that. But the implication that his stuff is essentially the same as that other stuff made me reply. Montenegro used the voices as a flavour in the arrangements. He totally resurrected the multi-voice thing for me, almost made me forget the crap that came before. The versions of "Love is Blue" and "Classical Gas" on that same record are classics... in the good sense. Having said that, I've made tapes like that too. I just put more "Ray Charles Singers", "Enoch Light Singers" and of course, "Up with People". Okay, carry on.

If you have to have moog records - and who can blame you - then it doesn't matter what anyone says about them, does it? But if you're actually looking for the better ones, the one called "Moog!" is kind of bearable. But "Open Circuit" is dreck. I'm sure that it's going to be hard to find another version of Leon Russell's "Tightrope" on moog - or "Alone Again Naturally" or even "Let's stay together" - but unless it was a couple of bucks OR you want everything, I'd avoid that one. I always take that one out when I'm making a mixed tape for someone but I can never quite bring myself to use it. Sorry Claude fans. He asked.

I need your help, and wish to return the favor. Okeedokee - yer in luck because I have yet to dispose of all those schlocky Christmas albums that have been accumulating in my basement. If I have it, chances are it's nice and scratchy. Is there a particular version this filmaker friend of yours is looking for? I'm on the case and will get back to you by Monday. I buy xmas rekkids by the the armful in hopes that there will be at least one little useful nugget on them. I produced my first christmas compilation last year and intend to make one every year - A tall order, since I worked like HELL to get the last one together, and still had trouble getting enough really unique material. Not that there is any shortage of the stuff, it's just so rare to find anything truly great. Christmas produces some of the weirdest music. Artists and entertainers often do things that they would not otherwise consider. Witness Lorne Greene happily chirping "Must be Santa" and you will know EXACTLY what I mean. And then there's the Three Sun's "Ding Dong Dandy Christmas," great stuff like "Cool Yule," etcetera. By the way, if any listees have any knock-out fave christmas exotica, hip me to it, please. As I did last year, anyone who went out of their way to scrape-up holiday weirdness for me received a copy of the compilation in CD form complete with real pro-Joe printed labels and inserts designed by Don Vigeant, a graphic artist who is just now getting recognition (and likely some commissions) from the likes of Servotron and MoAM. (Dig his link! http://www.edmonton.shaw.wave.ca/~gmillar/moa/posters.htm) The design was a visual feast culled from my copy of the comic book "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." Heee! The CD featured the above mentioned Lorne Greene, Some Chipmunks "Hang Up Your Stocking, Auggy Rios "Donde Estas Santa Claus," Thurle Ravenscroft "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch'" Kay Starr "Man With The Bag," and I forget already what all else (don't have a copy with me.)

I actually tried ordering the Laserdisc through CD-Now, and after three months on backorder it came up as unavailable. No Laserdisc dealer that I've come across has any in stock and none can get them any more from their distributors.

Then there's "Santa Claus was my Lover" sung to the music of Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean". Culturcide are a bit like Negativland but with no shame.

I always thought the sunglasses were part of the image but... I too have only two of his records, one "before" and one "after" the image transformation and also feel this is enough! I still can't get a good grip on the style though. Should I assume the German equivalent of "country" would be those nasty Bavarian beer drinking - accordian playing (I know how fond you are of this instrument and I surely understand why!) polka records? I say this only to try to differentiate it from what I see as the North American equivalent of "Volksmusik" being the sort of recordings you would find on the Folkways label, ie. traditional songs, often worksongs, etc.. Here there is some overlap as the way I see it, this is where "Country" music originated before it transformed itself into the glitter of Nashville and to what has more recently become a fusion with mainstream rock and as a result a much broader acceptance and making it even less interesting than ever. I realize it is hard to make any direct comparison as there are cultural, political and historical differences that complicate things but with Heino its that deep "Elvis like" voice that always throws me. That may all mean that the North American equal to Schlager could rest with Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck and their likes...

Yes, one of the fascinating things about listening to all kind of music from around the world is to help understand the musical inspirations and adaptations. A prime example is the connecton between Polynesian music and the way Martn Denny was both inspired by it and how elements of it were uniquely interpreted in hs own music. > Question is: where did Tiki and his tribe come from in the first > place, as they were not Peruvian natives and don't seem to fit into the > Southamerican folkscheme.

I wonder if there is any clue in the music? I don't relate Vikings to music but someone who knows a bit about South American music may make some connection. Polynesia was laregely colonized by the French but much later of course. Is Tiki the image you often see associated with Polynesia of the long face on a wooden mask? Of course masks form a big part of Peruvian culture so there may be something to this. I need to brush up a bit on my history to make any further guesses. By the way, I assume by your relationshp with Andres Dorau that you have some close ties with Motor music. Do you know why their recordings so damened hard to find in North America? Some of the "Get Easy" series seem to be available though I've not yet found them. As for Andreas Dorau, no luck at all. It's strange because Motor is a division of Polygram and smaller obscure labels from Germany like Crippled Dick Hot Wax are easily available here and at very good prices.

When I lived in Los Angeles, the radio station KROQ put out"We've Got your Yule Logs Hangin' " and sold it in L.A. for a slightly over a dollar for charity. One of the highlights is William Shatner's deadly serious reciting of a Christmas carol (Good King Wenceslas, I think) Also, there was/is? a show run by Tom Nixon called "The Nixon Tapes" (mentioning this show by name was always fun, if you wanted to see who disliked President Nixon). In his Christmas show, he played a wonderul mix of Jazz, R&B and C&W, however, I rather like the Dominican Mummers parade. I played this tape at a company Christmas party in L.A. and Barbara Streisand's Christmas Album got put in rather hastily for the second year in a row. So I moved. Brian Phillips P.S. More of "Shaft's Big Score"(my recent score of vinyl that did not in anyway hinder Jessica Cameron's Florida heist) to-night. I had a looong night at work yesterday. # 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: "Magnus Sandberg" Subject: Re: (exotica) Christmas music for the deranged!

I just want to say that I have only recently "discovered" Martin Denny's music. I guess I fit into the younger crowd that Moritz mentioned. I am truly grateful for the art that Mr. Denny has been so gracious to bring to us, leading the way for possibly another revolution in music, like the early days hi-fi, with a twenty and thirty-something crowd that has grown tired of all the sounds that rock and roll have wrought. The exciting, exotic sounds give me a wonderful place to escape to, where I can dream peacefully, and feel a connection to a simpler, more tribal existence. Happy Birthday Martin Denny! I wish you the best of health, the happiest of moments, and the deepest peace. Charles (Charlieman) Rajnai > >Mr. Denny turned 87 on April 10.

There's a good version by 101 Strings on their CD "The Magic of Hawaii" (Emporio EMPRCD014)(21 tracks). There's a great Hawaii 5-0 website with details of the music used in the series, plus WAV files of McGarrett saying gems such as "Book him Danno, murder one, two counts". Jack Lord, sadly missed.

Date: 18 Apr 1998 00:29:43 -0400 Hello- I joined the list fairly recently, so I'm not sure this qualifies as Exotica--it may be closer to what's refered to in Europe as Easy Listening--but it's a fabulous proof of the genre's health, and it wakes me up every morning. I'm refering to music on the Drive In label out of Amsterdam. I don't know much about the label, but it seems to be run by 2 guys, Gerry Arling and Richard Cameron, who also appear to write and produce just about everything under various band names. On Popcorn's _Stereo Showcase_ they collaborate with a certain Eddy de Clerq for maximum exoticability: organ, vibes, marimbas, Latinoid beats, disco, you name it, it's there. Song titles include "Bla Bla Cha Cha", Ola Chico!", and "Funk Cha". On their own Arling & Cameron's _All In_, there are titles in French, German, and English. A new compilation, _The Best of Easy Tune_, is sensational. Any info on these guys would be more than appreciated.

Facts: * Crippled Dick Hot Wax Records (from Germany) already released a dynamite "Jerry Cotton" package... * Bungalow records (from Germany too) rereleases the cult soundtrack to "Raumpatrouille (Space patrol)" - a low budget Bavarian SF TV series of 1966 - on a CD including 3 previously unreleased tracks... * those same Bungalow people also release a limited edition "Orion 2000" 10 inch mini LP with the "Raumpatrouille" theme and 3 more unreleased tracks... * and Scamp records releases a brand new compilation entitled "FutureMusik" on April 21. Add to these the other already available CDs - "Filmmusik" and "Easy loungin'. Twenty easy listening classics" - and you've got yourself a real nice Peter Thomas colection! Peter Thomas, the German John Barry? Peter Thomas belongs to the best film music composers, up there with John Barry and Ennio Morricone. The British music press calls him the German John Barry, because of his outspoken talent for writing big, action-packed spy music. He has many many more talents though, like unbridled versatility, and an unconventional, truly wild musical mastermind. Some of his so-called easy listening, as featured on the "Easy loungin'" CD for exemple, is so dangerous it's light years away from easy! Listen to these audio fragments, and you'll also discover his talent for witty musical humour in "Pardon Me Mrs. Carmen", and his use of unearthly special effects as in "Outside Atmosphere" 1998: the year of Peter Thomas!!

It's by the Yokohama Knights (a 1960s Japanese cabaret band) and it's really clever as it mixes the two songs together, not like a medley (you know, play one and then goes into the other), quite amazing.

(Long, baby) Date: 19 Apr 1998 12:16:46 -0400 More reviews from my big haul: It's a Bossa Nova World - Laurindo Almeida and the Bossa-Nova All-Stars (Capitol ST 1946) Cover is a human (sorta) figure, sitting next to a globe. Apparently, this is the third album under this band name. Accompanying him are Jimmie Rowles, Howard Roberts, Max Bennett, Bob Cooper, Shelly Manne, Vic Feldman and Chico Guererro. For those of you who are jazz fans, you can imagine the musicianship is of very high caliber. The songs they picked, are an eclectic bunch, Till Then, Danke Schoen, Hava Nagila and they LEAD OFF with Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport! I am not lying though, this is a great record. If you see it, buy it! Tasteful percussion and immaculate percussion. Interesting note: Almeida is credited with playing a 12-string guitar and a gut guitar. It's nice to know where Almeida plays from. How to Succeed(Vol. 5) - Presented as a Public Service by the United States Army. (Do not use after January 1, 1972) Cover is far too busy to describe accurately. Let's just say that it looks like Peter Max for kids who are easily convinced that the Army = Flower Power. Not quite exotic, however, I love records with ads on them! This is a true Public Service Announcement radio record. The record has locked grooves, so I have ...to get up while typing, to hear the next track. Some quotes: "Good-bye New York, Hello Fort Knox!" "Freedom... (had to get up again) is the right to choose a friend." "If you've got a dose of the separation blues, see your Army recruiter to-day"(about re-upping within 30 months and keeping your rank. The most interesting ad is a patch on Neil Diamond's "Sweet Cherry Wine", which goes on about the ability to see the country. The album is a mixture of campy rock (30 Months NOT a sequel to Chuck Berry's 30 days), campy C&W(Talkin' Enlistment Blues) and campy pomp (Freedom is...). Rating: Boot Campy. Merv Griffin - Appearing Nightly at the Piano (Metromedia MD 1023) Cover can be described this way: take the background of Traffic's "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" , with the same shape and perspective and put Mr. Griffin in a turtleneck. My wife and I have roughly the same conversation when we talk about Griffin. I think about coming home from school and having seen the cartoons and sitting through talk show after talk show, all of which lead off with the host(ess) singing a current song to stay hip with the times. I remember Mike Douglas' rendering of Neil Sedaka's "Bad Blood", John Davidson attacking the Miracles' Shop Around (remember, this was a hit for Captain and Tennille as well and THEY had a show, too!) and my favorite, Dinah Shore singing "Get Back, Honky Cat". After I work up a good lather about this, my wife says, "I'd rather listen to Merv Griffin playing the piano than sing. He can play!" Yes, yes he can. However, the album that ensued has arrangements by one Frank Hunter that have me looking around for Busby Berkeley chorines. Well organized, but a bit over the top. One will hear him sweep his hands over the keyboards so many times over the course of the album, one hopes that the picture would just START, already! He covers Jean, I Talk to the Trees and to fan the rumors of his sexuality, one of only two orginals is A Time for Tony (in all honesty, it sounds as if it was written for a boy. Maybe I'd best stop talking about this.) The last song (had I paid more for this) sums up my feeling about this record. Not the fact that it's called "Moonlight on the Lake", the fact that it's taken from the movie..."The Rook". Buy this album and you will have been rooked. The Music of Les Baxter - Don Tiare and his orchestra exotique (Mercury SR 60845) Cover features a woman of no fixed ethnicity, save the fact that she is NOT of European extraction, next to a plant of some sort. I must confess that this record started off wrong for me "Quiet Village" should be played in C and Tiare played it in F. Plus, I am so familiar with Baxter's version (and find no fault!) anyone else's, I have a tough time with. Bangkok Cockfight (difficult to say) is very good indeed, though. The album does not list musicians. These are small combo renditions and they are very good indeed. Baxter must have liked Tiare, since, according to the liners, he wrote some pieces specifically for this album. I am not versed well enough in Baxter (Paging Lounge Laura!) to say which songs they are. Good album, however, don't pay too much for an original, since it clocks in at slightly over 19 minutes. If it is reissued (and it should be), perhaps they'll pair it with something. Percussion in HI-FI - David Carroll (Mercury MG 20166) (1956) The cover is of various percussion instruments. The liner notes are as detailed as Tiare's were vague. not only do we have personnel (Dale Anderson, Hubert Anderson, Bobby Christian, Sam Denov, Harry Brabec and Frank Rullo), I also know that it was recorded in Studio A of Universal Recording Corporation in Chicago, with Telefunken U-47s (Frank Zappa LOVED these mikes!) and recorded on Ampex machines! Favorite quote: "The cymbal's shimmer, the virile woof of a huge bass drum..." I recall there was a thread about David Carroll a while back and I grew up listening to "Children's Guide to the Orchestra", so I hopefully will not be retracing old ground. This is a fantastic album and not just because I enjoy drums. The tunes are great (Jungle Drums, Discussion in Percussion, Malaguena) and the arrangements are lively. The recording is indeed impeccable. If you see it and pass it up, imagine Dick Butkus. In a dress. Singing. And then tackling you. Wild Stereo Drums - Various (not Edgard) (Capitol ST-1553) The cover is a picture of a Timpani, orange background. Liners are just as descriptive as the previous. Quote from the notes: "Powerful Percussion! Dramatic Stereo! Exciting Variety!" This was one of those records that I had heard about a couple of years back and wanted. The reason was the fact that I grew up in New York, outside of the city and I remember Dan Ingram signing off on Musicradio WABC (ding!) with a rather brash song, which turned out to be "Tri-Fi Drums" from this album. There is a web page dedicated to this Radio Station, which has him saying just this. So now I finally have it and you know what? It's one of the lesser tracks on the album! The quoted bit is from the middle of the song and flames be doggoned ('scuse the language), I am not a fan of Billy May. Too smooth or something, I am not sure, just not my style as talented as he is. For the May-ites, yes, I know he backed Yma Sumac on Mambo! and I prefer Vivanco and Baxter. The album is good, but knowing what I do now, I would go with the Carroll album first and this one next. Plus, the other album is straight percussion, tuned and otherwise; this cheats with horns. Small racial axe to grind: Plas Johnson, a great saxophonist, is mentioned in the notes. He is (was?) black and where do they mention him? On the song, "Uncle Tom Tom". Aliki-my love Soundtrack - Manos Hadjidakis (Fontana MGF 27523) Cover is of Aliki Vouyoulaki on the Greek island of Ios(sigh). This the same fellow that wrote "Never On Sunday". I know nothing about Greek musics, even though my last name is Greek (it means lover of horses and one snide comment out of ANY of you gets the Butkus experience). It is a pleasant album, with many nice melodies, however, it is not exceptional, although I really appreciate the tasteful arrangements after Griffin's album. Some of it even sounds like a Greek band catering to a Mexican audience (Aliki's Cha Cha). There is always the front cover to consider. Sigh.

Yes, Arling and Cameron produce the bulk of the music, along with some of their friends from the Dutch dance music community. Richard Cameron coined the term "Easy Tune" to describe the music he was playing at parties in Holland around 1995-1996. It was a mix of loungecore, house, 70's soul and funk, 60's ska, French Pop and disco. The parties became a sensation, and "Easy Tune" became the hottest thing in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the press pigeonholed Richard and his style as being just about "old records", so last year he declared "Easy Tune" dead, and proclaimed his new style "All-In". "The Best of Easy Tune" is a 1997 compilation of 12" and CD singles and EP's that were issued in Holland on the Drive-In label; some of the tracks were pop hits in Holland. When the album was released in Japan,it met with instant success. Richard had hosted a party for Konishi and Tanaka (Pizzacato 5 and Fantastic Plastic Machine, respectively) in 1996 in Amsterdam; soon after that Richard, along with his mate Karin, were DJ'ing regularly in Tokyo. They'll be back there again for most of this summer. Richard has also DJ'd in NY, LA and with me in Boston. He hosted Combustible Edison when we were in Amsterdam 2 years ago. Gerry and Richard also DJ'd alongside Le Hammond Inferno at the ComEd/Peter Thomas show at Berlin's Templehof Airport lounge. Richard and Gerry had a falling out with the Drive-In people (those records are now out of print in Holland), so they started their own label called All-In. They issued 2 12" singles earlier this year; a full length CD is due sometime soon. Richard plays little if any easy listening music now, prefering more of the Big Beat, French House and Speed Garage styles favored in Tokyo and London these days. One recent track however, titled "Voulez-Vous", retains the Easy Tune feel and groove - - it's sensational. You can also hear Richard, Gerry and Karin on the most recent Pizzacato Five album, doing the track titled "Arigato! We Love You!". The Dutch team The Easy Alohas continue to DJ around the Benelux countries, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S., playing ez listening mixed with funk, acid jazz, Big Beat and what's called Popcorn records (mostly old soul 45's played slowed down somewhat; the name comes from the club in Belgium where the records were played, and the dance that goes with 'em). They issued a 12" last year called "Spy-Fi" [Pssst Records; Holland] that falls in the electro-spy realm of Big Beat (like The Propellerheads and The EZ Drum & Bass Orchestra) br cleve # 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) I'm just talking about Shaft's big score(Long!) Date: 19 Apr 1998 13:48:42 -0400 This time let's start with a soundtrack: Dingaka - Bertha Egnos and Eddie Domingo(Mercury SR 61013) (1965) Cover is a depiction of various scenes from the movie. For those who thought that Jamie Uys (pronounced Ace) started with "The Gods Must Be Crazy" (myself included), here you go. This is exotic sure as you are born. It is apparently, comprised primarily of traditional song of South Africa. They are all quite good and well-recorded (even if it IS in fake stereo!). The soundtrack also includes spon excerpts. It does sound rather similar to Ladysmith Black Mambazo at times (not a complaint). Best song title: Thunder Orgy. Dance Party - Ralph Marterie and his Marlboro Men (Mercury-Wing SRW 16259) Cover is a Pink background, with yellow and white polka dots, with silhouettes of black polka dancers(well, maybe not the polka but that was too easy to resist!) Prize winner for the least liner notes. Back cover is and ad for other releases. I don't have a date for this, but the rather lusty sax would indicate a late 50's release. Duke Ellington and Jimmy Forrest page your service! The song "Night Stroll" is really "Night Train", which is an extrapolation on "Happy-Go-Lucky Local". Pretend Cha-Cha is a plausible Cha-Cha, Cha Hua-Hua is better. Hey Babe will have you begging for Bruce Channel's "Hey, Baby",a far better song. "Torero" is the oddest, with French-style accordion, a twist beat and a jazzy guitar. Rating: whaaa? The Sounds of the Exotic Guitars - (Ranwood RS-1) Cover is a house, with pictures of five of the albums that were released under this name. This leads me to believe that this is a best of. To which I say, this is the best? Bill Justis (well past Raunchy and heading towards Paunchy and leaving me feeling punchy) seems to be of the mind that exotic guitars are ones that sound like Duane Eddy against orchestral backdrops. The selections are a varied bunch from Indian Love Call to Everybody's Talkin'. I would not only not recommend this album, I will wash my hands after placing it back in the jacket. AY! Amor...Tito Guizar Sings - (Coral CRL 57437) Cover is a woman with a black ribbon and a red shawl (hey kids, we're in Mexico!) looking at a man who is in danger of being hit by the guitar neck that is above his head. Long known to me only as a blooper ("Ladies and Gentleman, presenting Tito Guitar and his Guizar"), it was nice to finally hear him. What a guy! Not only does he play guitar and sing, he was amateur middleweight boxing champion of Mexico and member of the Davis Cup Tennis Team. He also sang opera with the Chicago Grand Opera Company having trained in Italy, as well having been in movies and on TV. He also happens to be a "superbly handsomely six footer", which may explain his absence on the cover. Who want to see a fellow with four extra feet, no matter how handsome he is? This is a pleasant album of standards (Ojos Verdes was in a Popeye cartoon. The one featuring the danicing team of Popito and Olivita). He can certainly play the guitar and sings very well. He is backed minimally, with guitar and singes. I am fonder of the Cuban music styles than some of the Mexican genres; this is a very good album for those who are fond of the latter. Fantasy in Orbit - Thomas Dissevelt (Philips (yay!) PHS 600-189) (1965) Cover is a lovely scientific impossibilty. We are looking at Saturn an Earth-like planet and the Sun, in eclipse. On the ground, hope against hope, are mushrooms, which is odd, since everyone knows that the stork brings mushrooms! The album is subtitled "An Astronaut's Imperssons While Orbiting the Earth" Dissivelt was board in Leyden, Holland on March 4, 1921 according to the liners, "...European education and experience well qualifies him for his particular probing." Maybe he was abducted by aliens, too. This is incredible, abstract stuff. Very forward-looking electronic music for 1965 and quite challenging. I can only imagine the time it must have taken to have recorded this with the technology available. Not a soundtrack for a movie, but an aural adventure, with descriptions of each track, so you may take the voyage along with the astronaut on the record. No amount of liner notes can explain how "Waltzing Matilda" got on this record, though.

I've never heard it since, and I have no idea who it's by... Can anyone help? Obviously this was a fairly modern recording (within the last 15 years I would think) done in eezee-listening style (sorta like Charlie Rich or something), but the male singer had the slyest, most subtle, delinquent, smirk-tone in his voice, as he sang: ...Lacy things gone missin'... Didn't ask her permission... Wearin' her clothes... silk pantyhose... Walkin' 'round in women's underwear... (another stanza went like this): Later on, if ya wanna We can dress like Madonna... Put on some eye-shade, and join the parade Walkin' 'round in women's underwear... Yeah, I know, it was stupid, it was childish, juvenile, silly. But damn it was fun!

Or was it? The rest of the record is pretty cool in that David Carroll heavy percussion and arrangement kind of way. And it's produced by Quincy Jones. But nothing on the rest of this record compares to or prepares you for this cut. Is this already well-mined territory? Is that cut on all kinds of CD comps? (It should be.) You David Carroll record-owners, fish that record out and see if I'm lying. On another note, on the recent Space album lists, I didn't see any mention of the John Keating synth record "Space Experience". Of course, maybe I don't know what a "space record" is. But if "Sounds in Space" - that essentially classical music sampler with a few non-groovy words by Ken Nordine - qualifies, then this certainly must. It's got a picture of an astronaut and a space ship on the cover and he does "Star trek", "Rocket Man" and best of all "I feel the earth move". Stay tuned for the attempts at eliciting jealousy, to come.

Yep, yours was the message I was thinking of. CDNow has deleted the LaserDisc from their catalog.

And Arthur Treacher, Merv's sidekick, reciting pop lyrics in a Shakespearean tone, in order to make fun of them. As much as I/we resented this or made fun of it, in the end all these VERSIONS of rock n roll that we endured, were as significant a part of the pop culture we grew up with as were the genuine rock musicians who we wished we could see more of. On TV at least. And now I listen almost exclusively to these fake renditions of rock hits that I once resented so much, and almost never to the originals. They won! I don't care if I never hear another Beatles song by the actual Beatles but if it's the Hollyridge Strings, I'd even sit through "When I'm 64".

I have to admit, even though it's not exactly the grooviest "loungecore" record I have, there is something interesting about the arrangements. I guess what I'm saying is it's not James Last. Maybe James second-Last... but I have many worse records. Andre Kostelanetz doing "Me and Mrs. Jones" springs to mind. But then, I like that too.

I think that a copy of "Space Experience" would be a necessary part of any space cadet's record library. I would add that the strongest tracks are the Keating originals: "The Unknown Planet" & Prelude to Earthrise". By the way, didn't Keating release another "space" record? I seem to remember running across another lp in the bargain bins with a very similar cover. Of course, I now kick myself for passing on that disc.

(Perhaps) Interestingly enough, Justis's main axe-man was Al Casey, who did play with Duane Eddy and the Rockin' (?) Rebels. Casey later gave a nod to the early 60's surf craze with the release of "Surfin' Hootnanny (sp?)". Although I have not heard this lp, friends who are fans of the genre assure me it's quite good. I am not too fond of the couple EG's lps I own, but someone made me a comp. tape recently which included a couple of their songs which are quite enjoyable. bw ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # 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: "Br.

"The Mood Mosaic 3: The Sexploitation": Mostly funk, or funky heavy big band jazz. 5 funk tracks have a moaning woman all over, like in the well-known "Amame" (love me) by Claudia Vita, here in an Italian version, but the very same track also exists in English by (French combo) Super Erotica.

The perhaps fruit stacked concoctions and the sacred idol mugs in which these may or may not be served? I wonder if the pudenda who were responsible for that article even bothered to visit the place.

Then you can mix these sounds on top of your clean recording. It sounds okay to the mere mortal, but a super vinyl freak can tell the difference. Plus, on the computer, or with your equalizer, you can filter out some of the bass and give it that vintage nasal radio/victrola sound. Lots of fun. Which makes me wonder, how many would by my hypothetical Warmilizer 2000 that you can attach to your stereo that mutes some of the sharper digital artifacts and adds fake record hiss and pop (amount of crackle completely adjustable) to make it sound more like vinyl? I think if I invented it, I could sell a few, maybe...

Unless there's two records with that green mask, I've got it. It's on Promenade and it's subtitled "All the excitement and mystery of the jungle in high fidelity". "Yow Cow Le" is one of the tracks. On the other hand, my copy does have liner notes. As far as a group name, the liner notes begin: "In the hands - literally "beneath" the hands of the CAWANDA'S group - the basic drum rhythms have taken on a new substance" It also says "Cawanda's group" on the record. Some exotic Kiwanis club? I actually have this record in my "music for occasional listening" section as opposed to where I keep the cool covers so I must have enjoyed it. I'd tape it for you gladly.

The booklet is beautiful - it's only one half the width of the LP, so you can see half the vinyl in all its naked glory before you buy. The booklet is on very good high-cotton paper (like you'd waste on a CV), with these sets of multi-coloured interlocking rings (like an Olympics "trademark" rip off). Inside are descriptions of the various artists/tracks, with cool diagrams of where the instruments are in the stereo field. Hi-fi nerd heaven... But the question remains - has anyone ever actually seen an "80 Drums Around the World" LP, or is this some sort of sick Ultralounge inside joke?

Audio editing software is moving along these days much like image editing software (ie Photoshop) has, and similarly you can get lots of audio effect plug-ins for your computer. Steinberg makes a plug-in called "Grungelizer" which does precisely what you suggest- it adds straches (33, 45 or 78 rpm), surface noise, eq, distortion, and ground hum (50 or 60 cycle) to digital recordings to make them sound like they originated on vinyl. There's even a master knob on the thing that controls all of the parameters at once.... it works on an "age" analogy so that you can simply set the "year" in which the record was made- from today back to 1900.... Another plug-in, this time from the Opcode company, is called "Opcode Vinyl." While this features a much more comprehensive set of controls, it doesn't sound nearly as good to my ears. The main advantage it has over the other one is that it has a graphical "warp curve" which can be set to gradually diminish in severity over time, much the way real vinyl gets warped more on the outside than on the inside. Another side benefit of this is that if you experiment enough, it's possible to "unwarp" real warped records by comng up with the inverse warp curve... anyway- both of these plug-ins have very pretty graphic interfaces, especially the Grungelizer, which features old-fashioned looking knobs and switches, etc. just thought you'd be interested! cheers/pea # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "David Retief" Subject: Re: (exotica) Peter Thomas Date: 22 Apr 1998 16:57:57 +0200 Ashley wrote: >Nat, it looks like you have only experienced Peter Thomas from his cover version arrangements and not his original music which to put it mildly is quite mind-blowing.

Almost everyone made very bland albums at some stage and for some reason it appears to me to be a mid to late sixties thing (Les Baxter - Voices in Rythm, Johnny Keating - Canadian Sunset). I can just imagine the lp you got based on some Peter Thomas tracks on late sixties Polydor samplers, but one can never tell - I got a Peter Thomas standards lp with GREAT versions of "Let the sunshine in", "Mas que nada" (yes, it can still be an awesome track), "Eloise".

The "Surfin' Hootenanny" LP (1963, produced by Hazlewood, along with plenty of composer credits) actually only has two vocal tracks -- the rest are instrumentals. The female vocals are credited to The K-C-Ettes, who were actually The Blossoms. It's a good example of crank-it-out surf-ploitation studio work. Some of the Wrecking Crew (Hal Blaine, Leon Russell) were on the job. Also Casey's wife, Corky, on bass & guitar. The title track has an amusing bit where the singers "name-check" some instro guitarists and Casey does imitations. Heavy, heavy reverb. A somewhat under-rehearsed take on "Caravan" (just to note one more version) also appears. I have it on CD, so I'm actually curious what the LP is like -- on CD, this is one of the most fearsomely treble-crazed recordings I've ever heard. Real shear-your-head-off sound! The CD is actually called "Jivin' Around" (Ace CDCHD 612) and appends another 14 tracks to the 12 from "S.H." All but one are earlier ('61-'62) singles -- very different in style (and not treble-crazed). These are instrumentals in more of a jazz lounge / 50's rock instro / Booker T mode, with prominent Hammond & sax (Casey doubled on organ). Fun stuff, if you're in the right mood. The CD also has a very thorough booklet (even a 2 page history of Stacy Records). From whence this info barrage has spilled. One more possible point of confusion -- there's another guitarist named Al Casey. Different guy -- no relation. I *think* he worked more in the jazz / R&B area. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: (exotica) Jazz Fest in NOLA Date: 22 Apr 1998 17:11:19 -0400 >Theres bound to something exotic here!

Like I said, there's a version of "Cabaret" with ersatz Hawaiian guitar sounds that definitely "elevates" a tune that I'm pretty tired of. And other examples. The moment I dropped the needle, I knew that this guy was doing something else. It's all about degrees. Sometimes I wish there was some kind of definitive point scale relating to degree of "arrangement" - one to ten, with one being some of those Jackie Gleason or Mantovani records and ten being like Esquivel or some Enoch Light or some Bob Thiele - and then I could just say "I expected this record to be a 2 but it surprised me by being a 6", which is about what I'd give this Peter Thomas record. And also, then people on this list could declare that they genuinely like stuff that is "2" and that would allow me to put their comments into context. Most of the John Keating stuff I have found is about a two and a half but he climbs to seven once in a while.

My friend Marc collects records and has been doing so seriously for much longer than me. And still does it more seriously, though he would dispute that. Anyway he's been amused by my general obsession with exotica and specifically with "loungecore" and moog records. But occasionally I'll play him one and he'll sort of get it. Like the Sandy Nelson "Superdrums" records And more than occasionally, he'll show me a record that he has - just for the hell of it even though he says he doesn't like it - and make me jealous. Sometimes he'll pick up a record for me that he knows I would want. Sometimes he'll phone me and tell me he saw a record I would want. Like he did recently with that "Moog Machine Switched on Rock" which I then scooped up for $5. (Kind of a weird record...) He has occasionally given me a record and even though it's harder to find records he really wants, I did give him a double Bob Wills record once and some other rockabilly things I didn't really want. And once I traded him an old electric fan that we both wanted when we saw it at a garage sale - but I bought it - for an album of Yma Sumac 78's that he knew I wanted. So anyway, he was thinking of giving me some of his moog records but he couldn't quite decide. So one night he started to play them. His wife told him that the records were bothering her. THEN HIS WIFE GOT SICK. So he gave me "IN SOUNDS FROM WAY OUT" by Perrey and Kingsley. Then shortly after that,HIS WIFE'S MOTHER DIED. And he gave me the rest of them: 1) Space Art (the name of the band) - Trip in the Center Head" (the record) 2) Space - Magic Fly 3) Perrey and Kingsley - Kaleidoscopic Variations 4) The Zeet Band - Moogie Woogie and then not a moog record... 5) Ferrante and Teicher - Soundproof, the sound of tomorrow today. The first two aren't really moog records as I understand them. They're more like Kraftwerk-style. I don't really have a section for them and if I hadn't been given them, I'd probably sell them. I guess I'll put them near the Tangerine Dream "Sorcerer" and "Thief" records, not near the Claude Denjean and Dick Hyman moog stuff. (I guess someone would call them "Space records" though..) I have to say that I'm surprised how good the Perrey and Kingsley are. In my experience moog records are usually better in anticipation than in actuality but not with those two. I can see why they're classics. And before Jack jumps in and points it out, yeah some of those moogy sounds are actually made by the Ondioline. The record that kills me is that ZEET BAND one. The
