Barry Nelson made for a pretty young-looking James Bond and, as I recall, it was surprisingly violent for a mid-50s TV production.

Duncan NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Author Robert L. Duncan, who wrote ``Brimstone,'' ``Firestorm'' and ``Dragons at the Gate,'' died Thursday of pneumonia. He was 71. He wrote documentaries, television scripts, a screenplay and more than two dozen novels during his 50-year career. Duncan and his wife, Wanda, wrote scripts for shows such as ``Dr. Kildare,'' ``Bonanza,'' and ``Have Gun Will Travel.'' He was inducted into the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame in 1981. *Sara Wells Jones SEATTLE (AP) -- Sara Wells Jones, founder of the Seattle Religious Art Society and mother of musician and record producer Quincy Jones, died Jan. 22 of a stroke. She was 94. Mrs. Jones became a founding board member of the Federal Savings and Loan Corp., a black-owned bank, in Chicago in the 1930s. She managed the 433-unit Rosenwald Housing Complex. She moved to Seattle in 1943 and founded the society to sponsor concerts and educational opportunities for children. On one occasion she typed the entire New Testament as a gift to her children. *Raymond E. Watson Jr. TRENTON, Texas (AP) -- Actor Raymond E. ``Woody'' Watson Jr., who appeared in dozens of films and television movies and was the voice of Texas Lottery commercials, died Wednesday in a tractor accident. He was 50. Investigators said Watson died after he was run over by a rear wheel of his tractor. The accident happened on his farm, about 50 miles northeast of Dallas. Watson appeared in about 20 films, including ``Evening Star,'' ``Powder,'' ``A Perfect World'' and ``Backroads.'' He also appeared in more than two dozen television series and movies, including ``Walker, Texas Ranger,'' ``Texas,'' and ``Dallas.'' Last year, Watson provided the voice for Texas Lottery commercials. http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=9:59:52|AM&p=avg&sql=B75024 *Mario Zacchini TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Mario Zacchini, the ``human cannonball'' who entertained circus-goers for decades, died Thursday of kidney failure. He was 87. Zacchini's death marked the end of an era. He was the oldest member of a Tampa circus family, the last of seven brothers -- five of whom were known as human cannonballs. In their heyday in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, the Zacchini brothers wowed crowds as they catapulted out of cannons at speeds up to 90 mph, flying over Ferris wheels. They performed at world fairs, circuses and carnivals in the United States and abroad. Eight years ago, the family was inducted into Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's Circus Ring of Fame in Sarasota. Their father, Ildebrando, who started as a circus clown, suggested the human cannonball act in the 1920s in Italy. The brothers built a cannon and work began. In 1929, while in Denmark traveling with their father's circus, the Zacchini Brothers Circus, John Ringling hired one brother to work in Florida. Within a few years, the others joined him. In 1939, the family moved to Tampa. *Huntz Hall LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Huntz Hall, star of more than 100 ``Bowery Boys'' and ``Dead End Kids'' films in the 1930s through the 1950s, died Saturday of heart failure. He was 78. Hall was one of a group of young actors who came to Hollywood to make a film version of the Sidney Kingsley play ``Dead End'' in 1937, two years after he starred in the play on Broadway. The film spawned a popular phenomenon that stretched over two decades, with the actors portraying the characters as victims of society in a series of films with both original and new actors. The group went on to make several films for Warner Bros., including ``Angels with Dirty Faces,'' ``They Made Me a Criminal'' and ``Crime School'' with names like James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and John Garfield. The actors moved to Universal and changed their name to ``The East Side Kids'' in the 1940s. Hall and original costar Leo Gorcey made 49 comedy films as ``The Bowery Boys'' after World War II. Hall later appeared in the films ``A Walk in the Sun'' in 1945, ``Gentle Giant'' in 1967, ``Herbie Rides Again'' in 1974 and ``The Escape Artist'' in 1982. He starred as producer Jesse Laske in Ken Russel's ``Valentino'' in 1977. http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=9:57:52|AM&p=avg&sql=EHuntz|Hall # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) AP: Online Auction Customers Beware Date: 01 Feb 1999 11:12:54 -0600 NEW YORK (AP) -- When Sotheby's sold a Harry S. Truman signature that turned out to be a reproduction, the prestigious auction house apologized and bought it back. On the explosive frontier of Internet auctions, the policy is different: bidder beware. Toy collector Christina Platthy says she found out too late -- after paying $1,815 for a rare Beanie Baby she bought in an eBay Web site auction and getting a $5 stuffed duck instead. The rapid, raucous popularity of Internet auction houses has left consumers prey to cyber-scams and emerging companies like eBay struggling to prevent a new kind of fraud. The company, founded in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar in San Jose, Calif. to sell his girlfriend's Pez dispensers, is the most famous of the online auctioneers, but it has no less than 1,500 rivals. Auction houses say they can't be forced to protect consumers against bogus buys, any more than a newspaper can be held responsible for the claims of its classified advertisers. ``I think from a legal point of view we have no liability,'' said eBay CEO Meg Whitman. However, she added, ``We actually have a significant responsibility to make eBay as safe a site as possible to trade on. We also need to communicate that users have a responsibility as well.'' Whitman says fraud is exceptionally rare among its 1 million users -- less than 1/100th of 1 percent of its 700,000 daily auctions. But, many users report their problems elsewhere. The National Consumers League gets 600 complaints a month about Internet fraud. Two out of three are auction fraud cases. As the largest auction house, eBay has had its share of mishaps. Pennsylvanian Jamison Piatt was turned in by angry buyers who never got the Furby toys he promised. He's agreed to repay them $3,600. Bidders aren't always honest either. Some offered up to $200,000 for a ``Today'' show jacket signed by host Katie Couric. After bogus bids were ferreted out, the jacket sold for $11,400. Starting next month, deadbeat bidders will be suspended from eBay. The problems may stem in part from the industry's stratospheric growth. Market researcher Jupiter Communications estimates that the number of Internet auction customers will jump nearly sixfold from 1.2 million to 6.5 million by 2000, when they will spend about $7.1 billion. For eBay, sales grew 724 percent in 1998, to $47.4 million. As the industry grows, so does fraud. Cyber-scams are prevalent enough that Manhattan attorney Brian Brokate has a full-time staff tracking online knockoffs of luxury goods made by clients such as Rolex and Vuitton. New York City is trying to hold online auction houses accountable. The city's Department of Consumer Affairs said last week it is looking into whether some eBay sellers are falsely labeling baseballs supposedly signed by such legends as Babe Ruth and Roberto Clemente, as ``one-of-a-kind.'' Ms. Whitman says eBay's glad to cooperate, even though the city hasn't notified eBay of the probe. In an acknowledgment that fraud is a problem, eBay said earlier this month it would guarantee items from $25 to $200. That doesn't help high bidders like Ms. Platthy. She says she paid for a rare ``Quackers'' Beanie manufactured without wings, but got a cheaper version with the wings obviously cut off. Seller Mark R. Mills of Las Vegas, who was ejected from eBay last year, responds: ``She got what she paid for.'' Ms. Platthy wants New York officials to force eBay to vouch for its sellers. ``I'm glad that they're trying to crack down on them,'' she said, adding that Mills didn't give her his real name. ``The person I was dealing with did not exist. That's what irritates me about eBay. They don't check anything.'' The best way for auction house customers to protect themselves is to use an escrow service that will hold onto their check until the auctioned item is received in good condition, said eBay's Ms. Whitman. The company makes that easy by offering online links to escrow companies. The catch: a 5 percent fee. ``Eighteen-hundred dollars is a lot of money and using escrow is probably a pretty smart thing to do when you are dealing with that kind of money,'' Ms. Whitman said. Brokate concedes that online auctioneers probably can't be held legally responsible unless they're informed of a specific fraud and refuse to act. He said eBay has been quick to help so far. Two traditional auction houses could shake up the industry with their plans to go online later this year. Sotheby's says its items will be guaranteed and its rival Christie's is expected to follow suit. ``We believe that a collector ... needs to have the assurance that experts have properly assessed what is being sold and that that item is being guaranteed,'' said David Redden, executive vice president of Sotheby's. # 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: Jack Subject: (exotica) Dave Pell Date: 01 Feb 1999 10:15:21 -0800 Charlie-Man, "Jazz Voices in Video" are group vocals done up cool, groovy and right!

Charlie-Man, That guy is in for the ride of his life, NO, not the guy who bought it, the guy WHO SOLD IT, which by the way is Saturn Records in Oakland, CA He totally misrepresented that LP. There is NO MOOG on it whatsoever. He titled the LP, "CRAZY MOOG BLAXPLOITATION" No Moog, No Crazy, No Blaxploitation. Zip, nada, nothin', ZERO Funny thing is, is that I saw and held that rekkid in my hands at a store in San Jose, CA and looked at it and tried to feel the energy in it, walked around with it for over an hour and then put it back in the bins. With a title like "The Ebony Godfather", it sure looked like CRAZY MOOG BLAXPLOITATION, but that's all it had to do with that, is lookin' like it. REALLY GLAD I didn't buy it even at the cheap 5 bucks it was. (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!) Next day I called the store for them to find it for me 'cause I HADDA HAVE IT! and it was GONE DADDY GONE! AND UP ON E-BAY WITH A BID OF $51.00!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I was "upset" needless to say...BUT THEN, I spoke with someone who I know that bid $52! on the damn thing and told him I wanted to know what it sounded like and he told me he already listened to it atta friends house and he gave me the lowdown on the hoedown. Obviously, Saturn didn't listen to it at all and I do mean AT ALL! Bummer, dude.

Enjoy. -Lou (well, *I* laughed) Author: Brady Lahr (brady@liquidaudio.com) October 15, 1998 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contact: Cece Stelljes New Media contact: Kerry Murphy (206) 441-8441 Sub Pop Releases the Star Report After months of intense investigation, damning testimony, and an astounding budget of $40, Sub Pop has uncovered the incredible trysts between Combustible Edison's The Millionaire and his intern. Though the Millionaire is best known for his work as one of the masterminds behind the cocktail-swilling Combustible Edison, the Star Report sheds new light on the extra-curricular activities on the suave and debonair artiste. Musical selections like "Pink Victim," "Mr. Pushkin Came To Shove" and "Seduction" from Combustible Edison's newest release, Impossible World first tipped off the investigative forces at Sub Pop that there might be an even more tawdry side to the Millionaire's life than was previously expected. To find out what our probing investigation uncovered, go to http://www.subpop.com to read the full report. Be sure to click on the links in the document to hear the Star Report musical score (as performed by Combustible Edison from Impossible World), which provides concrete evidence to support these new allegations of the true impurity of the mind of The Millionaire. # 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: "Steve Sando" Subject: Re: (exotica) Worried about Keely Date: 01 Feb 1999 14:55:20 -0800 She's been ample for quite awhile.

Date: 02 Feb 1999 06:07:20 PST This summer i found a "7 single ("Bang Bang Lulu", Pama (Palmer Music) 1968) with a guy called Lloyd Terrell. The B-side is a Mrs Miller track called "I never knew". It took long time for me to realize that it must be "that" Mrs Miller, because it seemed so strange that Mrs Miller could have done this thing, and so good. Stefan Kery convinced me when he listened to it this saturday, he was as sure as could be. It is Mrs Miller. And she can sing! At least she can sing reggae! It made me wonder... Maybe the woman that sings on the Mrs Miller LPs isnt the dame on the cover... Maybe the real "Mrs Miller" is from Jamaica? Maybe she is black? Prove me wrong.

Ska was huge in the UK in the late 60s and as is easy listening's way, cover's and copies turned up in the most unlikely places - even Mrs Millar's B-sides. This is reggae done by whitey.

Maybe she is black? Mrs. Miller was on the Smothers Brothers show, in her suspected ethnicity, if I am not mistaken. I was not able to see the show in the reruns that were on the E! network, so I have no visual reference, but from the aural evidence of the "Greatest Hits" LP, I would not say that she is one of my racial brethren or sistren. It is quite likely that that is another woman who married a Miller (Jacob, perhaps?) and decided to release her power of song on an unsuspecting populace. Still trying to figure out the same thing about Shooby Taylor, though. I think he's Black, (not many White people have covered "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing"), however, I have yet to see a picture of him or gather what his real first name is.

That doesn't sound like the lyrics to me, it sounds like a comment. Is the question better stated as "Who is D.C.?" either way, I don't think D.C. is what Donovan is singing in the tune, if anyone knows for sure, please speak out.

He was 89. In his early successes, few could recall his name or know what he looked like. But to moviegoers who saw the Universal newsreels in the 1940s, his was one of the voices that told of the Allies' early setbacks against the Axis powers, then of the successes that led to victory in 1945. His two principal competitors were his fellow announcer Harry Von Zell of Warner Pathe and the radio commentator Lowell Thomas of Fox Movietone News. In 1947 Herlihy started his association with Kraft Foods on radio and continued it when the company sponsored the "Kraft Television Theater" on television in the 1950s. A dramatic offering, all of it done live, the show featured everything from Shakespeare to Rod Serling; it was at the center of what critics would come to call television's Golden Age. During commercials for Kraft products ("Good food and good food ideas," Herlihy would say), audiences heard only his voice, a voice he said he tried to make sound friendly. It was an avuncular, next-door-neighbor, deep, mellow kind of voice, a digestive guide through the preparation of all manner of souffles, dips, marshmallow salads and fondues. He was noted for his ability to ad lib through commercials when dramatic presentations ran too long or too short. In his capacity with Kraft, he introduced Cheez Whiz, offered innumerable entreaties to buy Velveeta and delivered eloquent apologias for the entombment of almost anything edible with Miracle Whip. People may not have known his face, but his voice was another thing. Herlihy liked to recall a summer day in Times Square when he helped a blind man to cross at 44th Street. He took the man's arm, and the man said it was a beautiful day. "Yes," Herlihy replied, "this is the kind of day the Lord made for the good guys." The blind man replied: "I know you. You're the cheese man on TV." Herlihy's voice was also heard announcing myriad radio shows in the 1930s and 40s. Among them were "America's Town Meeting," a public affairs program; "The Big Show," with Tallulah Bankhead; "The Falcon" and " District Attorney," both crime dramas; and "Just Plain Bill," a soap opera about a small-town barber. Herlihy was also the master of ceremonies for radio's "Horn & Hardart Children's Hour" in 1948. He continued with the show on television. In addition to his work for Kraft, Herlihy's early television credits included Sid Caesar's "Show of Shows," "As the World Turns" and "All My Children." When he worked for Caesar, he met Woody Allen, then a fledgling writer. Allen was so impressed with Herlihy's voice that he used him in some of his films in the 1980s, including "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Radio Days" and "Zelig." His other film credits included Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy" and "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." He also appeared in many stage productions outside New York City, including "Camelot," "Good News" and "Damn Yankees." He was in "Watergate: The Musical," in Atlanta in 1982. Herlihy played Sen. Sam Ervin, a role for which he spent $40 for a pair of bushy eyebrows, only to find that they would not move up and down. Edward Joseph Herlihy was born in Boston on Aug. 14, 1909, and was educated at Boston College. He graduated in 1932 and got his first radio job at WLOE in Boston. He joined NBC in 1935. He is survived by his wife, Fredi; two daughters, Lori Selden and Jeanne Herlihy; two sons, Donald and Stephen; five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Herlihy maintained an active schedule, even in his later years. In 1994 he was the narrator for the television version of Allen's Broadway comedy "Don't Drink the Water." He also served as a lecturer on the Queen Elizabeth 2, the Cunard liner. http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=4:43:05|PM&p=avg&sql=B31921 TOKYO, Feb 1 (AFP) - Japanese professional wrestling pioneer "Giant Baba" died of liver failure at a hospital here just two months after his last bout, officials of his wrestling group said Monday. Syohei Baba, 61, had been one of Japan's most popular professional wretlers since he began wrestling in 1960, and was known for his 210-centimeter (seven-feet) frame and a trademark karate-chop. He founded the All Japan Pro-Wrestling Pacific Wrestling Foundation in 1972 after he ended his career as a professional baseball player due to injury. His group brough many foreign wrestlers to Japan and made professional wrestling a popular sport in the country. Baba was hospitalised in late December just days after a match in Tokyo, the foundation's officials said. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Arjan Plug" Subject: (exotica) The Napoleon Complex Date: 02 Feb 1999 22:55:14 +0100 Anyone spotted this yet? *****Andy >Warhoofd the "genius" behind such comps as 'Waterpipes & >Dykes' and 'I Hate The Beatles' has a comp out with 21 (!) versions >of 'They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha' titled 'The Napoleon >Complex'.

I was making a reference to the band Love, which is why I wrote "I Love it" at the end of my message. This refers to the anti-drug song, "Signed D.C.". But who is D.C.? According to the liners of "Love Story 1966-1972": The lone acoustic number from Love, "Signed D.C.," is also one of the best antidrug songs of that--or any--time. Lee disputes the presumption of most Love fans that the song was his open warning to Don Conka of the ultimate effect of Conka's heroin habit, cast as a suicide note: "It was written about the era and the people that I saw when I exited the stage--the ones [on drugs] leaning against the wall who couldn't unfold their arms. It wasn't written about one person. Most of the people were doing what was written in that song. D.C. means the District of Columbia. Listen to 'St. James Infirmary' and 'House Of The Rising Sun'--I sort of got the melody line from those." (Although long presumed a drug casualty by Love fans, Don Conka survived his '60s excess and today is a successful air-conditioning specialist. Recently Conka joined Lee onstage at Los Angeles' Club Lingerie for a stunning rendition of "Signed D.C.," showing that Conka's talent for drumming remains intact.)

I guess there's a whole series of books by the "Music Hounds". This one is their guide to "Lounge". It's got a photo of Sinatra on the cover and an intro by Martin Denny. I guess there's two ways to look at something like this. One would be "It's better than nothing". The other would be "Why the fuck can THEY never get anything right?" I only skimmed through it for a few minutes so I can't totally slam it. I read a couple of entries, including one on the Mystic Moods Orchestra, that at least got it half-right. I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say the whole book is about half right. I got a bit of a chill when I looked on the back where it listed some of the artists included in the book. It took me a second to realize that the list was in alphabetical order but still, there were a few questionable names. It said something like "all your favourites" and then listed : Herb Alpert, Erykah Badhu (!), Belafonte, Tony Bennett, Big Bad Voodoo whatever, Cherry Poppin whatevers, Holly Cole (she's a great gal but...), Combustible Edison, Ray Conniff. Further down this list were the names : Everything but the Girl, Bryan Ferry, Pet Shop Boys and Kenny Rogers. So I opened the book, telling myself that maybe names like Kenny Rogers were only "namechecked" in the book. Maybe they only mentioned Kenny in one of those "if you like him, you might like him too" lists. Or maybe the book was SO complete that Kenny somehow fit. But no... Kenny got his own complete entry. There was no entry for Marty Gold. But there was one for Mandy Patinkin. There was no entry for Ray Martin. But there was one for Tony Martin. There was no entry for Dick Schory. But there was one for Diane Schur. There was no entry for Pete Rugolo. But there was one for David Lee Roth and Jane Siberry too for that matter. Are these guys "music hounds" or is this the friggin People's Choice Awards? And no, in case you're wondering, I couldn't even bring myself to see if they had one for Celine Dion but I bet there was one for Anne Murray. Beyond my usual sense of can't-they-get-it-right outrage, is my utter confusion at the thought process that led to including some of those names. Does the name David Lee Roth sell books? (And please don't remind me of that old "loungey" song he recorded and did a stupid video for.) I'm sure they can make a case for including any number of the contemporary artists they include but for the term "lounge" to have some meaning, someone has to be excluded besides Fugazi.

Its a lot better than the Dick Hyman ones.... The Eclectic Electric is truly appalling sounding if it was mastered off a record that had regularly been played with a rusty nail, and my copy still had the extruded plastic round the edges from where it hadn't been cleaned up after pressing, giving the whole thing the aspect of a circular saw if you try to pick it up without stopping the deck. Anyway back to the point. I like the Hells Bells soundtrack a lot, It says conducted and written by Les Baxter on the cover, but with a standard rock group line up it must have been a sight in the studio watching some one conduct bass, guitar, drums and harmonica. The quality of sound is pretty good, nice clear production, all those nice breaks someone was talking about a couple of weeks ago coming through nice and clearly. Also the nice touch of a CD style 'bonus track' where there is a locked groove before the last track so you have to flick it on to get it. the bonus track sounds like out takes anyway so its no great loss to not play it. The only thing that keeps crossing my mind is that could this be a different Les Baxter? No lush strings, no exotic percussion drowned in reverb (and you talk about British strings?). It sounds more like Davey Allen than Quiet Village. I also got the Pierro Umiliani 'Legge Dei Gangsters', and I was a bit disappointed. Much more straight up Jazz than 'Todays Sound'. it does have its moments though. And it is a great sleeve, nice picture of Klaus Kinski with a machine gun on the cover.

My experience with this homepage has always been one of confusion and disappointment in trying to find out exactly waht was available within the Motor subgroup that interests people on this list. It's been a longstanding beef with me and I can't help but thinking about this (I've complained about it for some time to the proper people but... ) and then finding out the label is in trouble. Of course trying to find these things is another difficult task and they tended to be VERY expensive in North America at least. Nonetheless, I can give some examples as we have a large number of Motor releases and my impression is that it does for Germany what Irma is doing for Italy... and then some! Get Easy - Vol 1 - Best of the best original "easy" artists Get Easy Vol 2 - Best of the best "new easy" artists Get Easy Vol 3 - Best of French Pop (mostly vocal) Get Easy Vol 4 - Best of German Pop (mostly instrumental) The Mad Mad Word of Soundtracks - Best of original "easy" soundtracks These five serve to show the limited range of the Ultra Lounge collection and come with the highest recommendation!!! Plus there are more: Martin Bottcher, Horst Jankowski and Gary McFarland - Easy Instrumental German style Also a good catalogue of Brazilian masters including Chico Buarque & Walter Wanderley Particularly interesting are several by Gotz Alzmann - a modern day German crooner who combines the sound of Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra - German style. Very addictive! Then of course there is another side of this label that features Andreas Dorau, a favourite of mine from back in the late 70's Neue Deutsche Welle generation - as well as Max Goldt, another favourite German pop experimental artist, though I can't figure his connection to Motor except his home page is linked in. I've asked Moritz this exact question myself as this label just does not disappoint! I'm sure there is more and Moritz knows the music better so I too eagerly await his recommmendations. Very sad news indeed and embarrasing for me as a Canadian to have the axework on this label done by one of our own compatriots! But then multinationals tend to geographically indifferent so what's new... We all know it's a particularly harsh business and business in general is becoming particularly harsh these days as someone has to cough up the costs for these mergers and satisfy the ever growing profit requirements ... in order to justify more mergers... What... me bitter!

The book does make some strange choices and omissions (No Edmundo Ros!), but hey, reviews are opinion. Somewhat in their defense, Kenny Rogers did stuff that could fall into this musical realm earlier in his career before he went country. The book did include Walter Wanderley (one of my current "discovered" favorites). On Amazon.com, there were some critical reviews posted, apparently from fans of the Four Freshmen. As you might expect, the review was not exactly complimentary. Though not a comprehensive reference, I have found it to be informative and useful. The included UltraLounge sampler is pretty good and makes the book quite a good deal if you don't have any of the UL cd's; I think it has at least 17 cuts.

This is the book I ranted about back in June. (re:Lounge Hound Doggie Doo: Rant; 6/29/98). One point that I brought up was: >If you want an introduction to this music pick up the two volumes of >Incredibly Strange Music and Joseph Lanza's Elevator Music. Also, a good >general reference is the Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music. On-line >there's always Brad Bigelow's SpaceAgePop Site, which is an excellent >short bio and discography source. >With these sources I've just mentioned there is absolutely no need >purcahse a copy of that LoungeHound garbage. I had also stated that, >... amid all the half-truths and mis-leading entries was the overall >impression that the recording artists mentioned never issued any vinyl. I >realize of course that the whole purpose is to sell CDs in order to profit >the present powers that be, but even so to totally marginalize the >musician's pre-CDs recorded output(i.e. vinyl) is to entirely miss the >point of this music. I now realize that this fact will seal the fate of this book. Now that the lounge market has ebbed and we begin to see even now CD reissues going out of print the "usefulness" of this book as a lounge CD guide will be short lived. So, if you still really want this book wait a year and you will surely find it in a remaindered book sale for about $3. The book I mentioned recently which, going by the zero reponses to my querie, nobody here has heard about, is titled "Forever Lounge", and promises to be quite a different animal than the Lounge Hound.

It's the old Canadian alcohol mafia from way back prohibition times having washed their blood money now stretching out their tentacles over the big lake, right?... But who cares, do you think many will be reading this anyway, Brian. I have recommended each and every slightly Exotica-related Motor product since I'm in this list. As the CDs never seemed to be really available outside Germany, they never made good subjects for discussion here. Now it's too late anyway. In your list of compilation albums I'd add the recent "A Trip to Brazil" sampler. A super de luxe box of Georgie Fame came out a few months ago. There was a Sergio Mendes Collection, Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz & Charlie Bird's "Jazz Samba", Joao Gilberto's album of 1995 called simply "Joao" I liked a lot, the lushest singer ever! Well, the famous "Getz/Gilberto" was also a Motor release, it's the "Exotica 1" of the Bossa Nova, THE classic LP from Brazil! Also mentioned must be the 3CD box of Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim, his last will, so to say, before he died, called "The Man From Ipanema". "The composer of Desafinado", yet another Jobim-CD and of course "Fina Estampa Ao Vivo" bei Caetano Veloso". All these publications of Brazilian music owe to one single man at Motor: Christian Kellersmann. 60% of all Jazz releases in Germany passed over his desk. All Verve records, all Tamla Motown and always own Motor products. He's a good saxophone player as well, btw, although since he worked for PolyGram hardly ever found enough time for playing music himself. Those who don't know these important basics of Lounge found inside the Brazilian music don't understand Lounge, Easy, don't understand Exotica completely. This is where a lot of influences came from, Martin Denny himself had been playing Brazil in his early days before Hawaii etc. I'd really like to know very old Brazilian music before the times of even Jobim, Gilberto and all the others. How did the influence of black music slip into the Portugese, or vice versa? Now, back to Motor: It looks as if at least the Jazz compartement will survive. It will be put into the classic departement of PolyGram which will now be Universal Music. Let's see how Christian will be doing there! The other sublabels like Urban, ElectroMotor, Progressive etc. are all kaputt and it is not known which artists will make it into one of the new structures and which will just be dropped. There's a certain void now in Germany and I only hope that indie labels like Bungalow, Marina, Crippled Dick or Ata Tak will take their chance and fill out this void, cooperate maybe. So that the Motor desaster will at least have a good side in the end...

Miller? Well, outside of the fact that you never saw them in the same room together, which can arouse some suspcious talk, it can be safely argued that they have both inflicted their own brands of agony on an unsuspecting populace and they both were tangentially involved in Country music (he produced a Marty Robbins record and she recorded "The Country Soul of Mrs. Miller) But even more compelling: "Will Success Spoil Mrs. Miller?" is a blatant parody of the title of "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?". Jayne Mansfield starred in that movie, as well as "The Girl Can't Help It". The R&B act, the Treniers were in that movie and they recorded for Okeh, which was a subsidiary of Columbia Records. R&B and Rock and Roll eventually forced Mitch Miller off of Columbia. I am surprised that I am the first to see this.

Speaking of Bob Moog, I had taped that TV Guide Award show, in desperation, the other night and later I was going to skip it until I read on the list here about who was in the band. So I watched it, mostly to hear the band. And as excruciating as the show was, the music was totally great. They did acknowledge the band. One of the hosts said something like "We're the only awards show whose band has a scratcher, a sitar and an accordion" or words to that effect. They also mentioned Mark Mothersbaugh and Devo. They didn't mention theremin or Bob Moog. I can't really describe the music. Sometimes I thought it sounded a bit like that controversial Dmitri de Paris record, sometimes like something from a "Soft and Easy" compilation, sometimes it sounded a bit like that infamous "Corporation" record on Project 3. And I guess sometimes it sounded a bit like Combustible E. I don't know what I would have thought if I hadn't heard about the music before I watched it. I think I would have thought "Eventually everything you like becomes co-opted." On the one hand, I would probably buy the music if it were released. On the other hand, it WAS the TV guide award show and as award shows go, it made the People Choice seem like the Nobel Prizes. I just find it so interesting that for one moment in time, the planets aligned and this kind of music became background for an awards show. I first became aware of Devo when I saw their first "underground" film in a program of experimental films, well before the first record came out. I wish I'd been cynical enough at the time to say "Yeah but one day, one of those guys is going to be the new Skitch Henderson and he'll make background music like everyone else". Be careful what you wish for.

Since the MusicHound sampler has no cuts from the "On the Rocks" albums (or any from "and more!," whatever that is intended to be), I can only surmise that it's not the same disc.

Basically, the same samples repeated over and over. I grow weary of that style very quickly. Sukia and Tipsy have the same problem for me. If you want to hear the right way to sample, listen to the lead samples on the Eno/Byrne My Life in a Bush of Ghosts.

It's a dance music hybrid, so it needs a beat , but that doesn't mean it needs to be a static break beat. It's real easy to over indulge a loop when you're piecing together a song. Hey if the loop sounded good one time it will sound even better if I let it ride for 30 seconds or use it through out an entire song. It's a fine line because sometimes the trance-ish element actually makes an otherwise mediocre loop sound real good or get boring real fast. DJ Shadow has a great sense of timeing and knows when to shift gears. Coldcuts on the other hand tends to be shifting every 10 seconds, which seems to work well, too. Also DJ Food generally has a decent feel for when it's starting to get old. DJ Cam does some nice stuff, too. Peter had mentioned Eno/Byrne My Life in a Bush of Ghosts and it's a great example of using weird chunks of audio in place of solos. That kind of thing really breaks up the piece and depending on the audio used it can move the song in a totally new direction. I'm working on a couple of songs right now that have heavy exotica/lounge elements and it's real easy to let them go trancy and not put the work in to keep them more vital and edgy, but trancy can be good, too - apart from the me slipping into epileptic seizures every few minutes. That's it for now. -Roy G.

Here's a brief review I originally posted to the Soundtracks list: Nico Fidenco: "Black Emanuelle's Groove". Abraxas Records/Dago Red [Red 101]. The original themes from the Italian "Emanuelle Nera" films that were directed by Psychotronic magazine fave Joe D'Amato. Most of the tunes were written in the mid-seventies so they lack the 60's/early 70's now sound cocktail funk that is featured on many of the other Italian soundtracks currently circulating. As a result, the recording isn't as cheesy in that fun way. The material is in the lounge-jazz style, and is enlivened by the exotica-style elements which make tracks like "Hawaiian Sand" or "Samba Safari" stand-out. Good, but not great.

About the last thing I would call Dimitri, Tipsy and Sukia are monotonous. I still love those CDs. Eno & Byrne are good, too, but in a much different way. I guess we all have different tastes - each to his own - but I still wouldn't trash these artists - at least they're out there, doing interesting stuff, as opposed to top-30 rock or new age or...

Just because it's supposed to be repetitive, doesn't mean that if I repeat it, I've done a good job. Maybe I am reading too much into it, because I have to say, I don't like much techno music for exactly this reason, but I think Dimitri does a poor job repeating. I think you can repeat and develop, like good minimalists do. (Or, well, scratch "good", and insert "minimalists that I like".) Or repeat and don't develop (like "White Horse" by Laid Back, or anything by Kraftwerk, or "James Brown Is Dead" by LA Style; so, yeah, I'm behind the times in techno). But the seemingly random insertion of three or four sampled bits to me is very... immature, style-wise, and sounds weak and careless. At least to these ears. I didn't mean to compare the bang-whiz-pop electro music of Byrne and Eno with the lounge stylings or techno beat of Dimitri, more the sampling style, the stuff that goes on top. But I think the Eno/Byrne thing is similar in structure, if not style, with a constant, repetitive beat underneath and a layer of spoken samples on top. And, to follow your analogy, I'm saying I don't like Dimitri's sculpture because he used a jackhammer instead of a chisel. Really, it's all about prefences. And what I'm trying to say is, I'd like to express a different opinion from the all-positive reviews I've seen on the list so far. Just so people know that not everyone loves Dimitri. That's all. # 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: (exotica) (Obit) Lili St. Cyr Date: 04 Feb 1999 10:23:49 -0500 Lili St. Cyr, the striptease artist of the 1940s and '50s who mesmerized audiences with her onstage bubble baths and then moved to Hollywood to star in B movies and sell mail-order lingerie, has died. She was 80. St. Cyr, a sexy blond vamp who served as a role model for Marilyn Monroe, died Friday in her Los Angeles home, said her sister, Rosemary Minsky. Born Willis Marie Van Schaack in Minneapolis, St. Cyr studied ballet and worked as a chorus girl before making her breakthrough in vaudeville as an ecdysiast. Her exotic stage name and fame ranked with those of Blaze Starr, Tempest Storm and Gypsy Rose Lee. Brian Macdonald, the director and choreographer of "Gypsy," the Broadway hit musical about Lee, befriended St. Cyr in the early 1950s. She was dazzling Montreal at the Gaiety burlesque house, and he was a music critic for the Montreal Herald. "She was an extraordinarily glamorous woman with a very, very beautiful body," Macdonald said in 1993. "And she had this wonderful haughtiness. After she'd taken a few things off, she'd half cover herself with the curtain and say, 'That's it, boys. You're not gettin' any more from me.' " When the Gaiety was reopened in 1996, the Montreal Gazette recalled St. Cyr's opening performance in her geisha mode: "This midwinter night in 1944 was the beginning of Lili St. Cyr's seven-year reign as Montreal's most famous woman, the city's femme fatale, a person whose name invoked sophistication, mystery, sin and--for many males--instant arousal." St. Cyr also created her seductive imitations of about 25 famous women--including Carmen and Scheherazade--at the Old Howard Theater in Boston and in burlesque houses in Seattle. When she stripped at Ciro's in Hollywood, she was arrested and tried for indecent exposure--and acquitted, thanks to the talents of show business lawyer Jerry Geisler. The stripper said she played various characters to present herself in interesting roles, and created acts like "Suicide," in which she tried to woo a straying lover by revealing her body, and "Jungle Goddess," in which she appeared to make love to a parrot. St. Cyr also worked briefly in films, most notably in 1958 in the classic World War II motion picture "The Naked and the Dead," based on the Norman Mailer novel. Her less memorable films included "The Miami Story" in 1954 with Barry Sullivan, "Son of Sinbad" in 1955 with Dale Robertson and Vincent Price, and "I, Mobster" with Steve Cochran in 1958. One of St. Cyr's many husbands was sometime actor Ted Jordan, who managed her career in the 1950s and wrote the 1989 book "Norma Jean: My Secret Life With Marilyn Monroe." It was Jordan who said the brunet Monroe turned herself into a sexy blond by mimicking St. Cyr. Liza Dawson, editor for William Morrow, which published Jordan's book, told Newsday in 1989: "Marilyn very much patterned herself on Lili St. Cyr. Her way of dressing, of talking, her whole persona. Norma Jean was a mousy, brown-haired girl, with a high, squeaky voice, and it was from Lili St. Cyr that she learned how to become a sex goddess." Long before Victoria's Secret came along, St. Cyr operated a mail order firm out of Los Angeles, selling such items as "scanti-panties" and "exotic hip-length opera hose." # 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: (exotica) (Obit) Lili St. Cyr (addenda) Date: 04 Feb 1999 10:26:50 -0500 This was from Lili St. Cyr; Captivating Striptease Artist of '40s and '50s By MYRNA OLIVER, Times Staff Writer # 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: "Tom Karches" Subject: (exotica) Prado, Cugat, Time label and Bobby Rosengarden Date: 03 Feb 1999 23:55:30 -0500 Some finds and a some questions... I had a good weekend at the flea market : 2 Perez Prados (Havana 3 A.M and Prado goes Pops). "Prado Goes Pops" has a cha-cha version of "Carolina in the Morning (Nothing could be finer....). If I ever get to do a radio show, it would be the perfect intro song (I live in North Carolina). The "Pops" album also had a version of "Heigh-ho" (The 7 Dwarves marching song). No comment. I also found Xavier Cugat's "The King Plays Some Aces". It includes 2 selections from the Nutcracker suite. (Imagine an entirely latin version of the Nutcracker....but I digress). The last was most interesting..."Spanish Guitars" on the Time Series 2000 label. Very cool woodblock cover. I picked it up mainly as I recognized Al Caiola as one of the players (also the arranger and conductor), and Jack D. had some good things to say about Al's playing. One of the spanish guitar players is listed as "Mr. X". I've been a fan of Mr. X since I saw him on the "Speed Racer" show.... "Spanish Guitars" is in the "Persuasive Percussion" vein; as I was playing I noticed the names "Bucky Pizarelli" and "Dick Dia". I have 2 albums by Dick Dia; one is "Magnificent Mandolins" (more like the overwhelming mandolins) and an album I previously mentioned, "TV Potpourri" with "interesting" versions of TV theme songs. Finally, the questions.. I noticed in the credits of "Spanish Guitars" that Bob Rosengarden does all the percussion (including the Chinese Bell Tree). This has to be Bobby Rosengarden who does the percussion on the Walter Wanderley albums. Is anyone familiar with his own albums or his work on other artists records? Now the label...this is the first record on the Time label that I have bought. Are these generally good? Any to be avoided?

Bob Rosengarden (alongwith percussionist compadre Phil Kraus) was one of the regulars on all the Command and Project 3 LPs for Enoch Light. He no doubt also recorded on hundreds of other peoples records as most of those musicians seem to have done! More recently, in fact just last year(!), he appeared on an Enoch Light tribute album as part of a band of former Light musicians calling themselves the "Lounge Brigade". The CD is called "Put Some Style in It" and is on Shanachie. I have to say it borders on the "hokey" (thanks M Toth!) but deserves to be bought if for no other reason than to hear a bunch of musicians in their 60s, 70s and 80s playing, amongst other things, a Nirvana cover (Heart Shaped Box)...!

Only 4 of them really offer a different arrangement: 1 funk version by Mad Dog Society, 2 rap versions, and 1 that is impossible for me to describe or categorize, other than "alternative". I liked the foreign language versions the best: 1 in German, 2 in Spanish, 2 in Dutch, and 1 in Italian.

This is not funky or jazzy music, but - as the title sugests - BEAT, the late 60's, instrumental kind. Not really very Psichedelico I think, but very bright and fun, with great catchy, mostly uptempo "pop" melodies that sound like they were all used as TV themes. Everything played by small bands, with very little use of electric guitar as front instrument, but plenty of electric organs. The sound constantly reminded me of Vic Mizzy's "Addams Family" soundtrack, because there's lot's of harpsichord here. Neil Hefti's 2 Batman LP's also came to mind, but without the jazz element. A bit of spaghetti influence on 1 track, another sounded a bit like Duke Of Burlington on his "The Pressed Piano" LP. Just like in the "Schulmadchen Report" CD, there's also a lot of plagiarism here, which seems to be an essential part of late 60's-early 70's "loungecore". The best Italian comp I've heard so far, highly recommended, and it really deserves better distribution channels!

I always thought that THIS is the original cover and the other version, that you used to know, with the Barock-guy standing, was the American version. I only knew it from photos of it on later records, never found it anywhere in Europe. BTW: There is a really interesting and well done Wendy Carlos homepage (just look at the fine "WENDY" background pattern!): http://www.wendycarlos.com/index.html (Mimi! That's one for you!) The homepage has a discography but it doesn't become clear which the original cover really was: The CD version has the standing guy. There seems to be a third version with a different layout: The title is on a white field on top of the cover. However: The homepage also says that the scores of "Tron" and "The Shining", that Carlos seems to be responsible for (which I didn't know), where never published because the original master tapes had melted together.

I guess I know what you mean but it seems a little strange to me, to criticize someone for repeating samples. What's the purpose of sampling anyway? There is no single purpose. It's an individual thing. Sometimes the artist uses samples in the same fun "spot-the-sample" way that some of us like listening to them. But sometimes samples are used as "instruments". Repeating a sample can be like repeating a bass line or repeating a guitar riff. They're not interested in finding endless samples for your enjoyment. They're just constructing a piece of music. And then there's sampling which purposely "pushes the envelope" on repetition. Repetition is what the music is about. And by the way, I could say the same thing for "visual sampling" as used in films and art in general. It's true that some samples seem to repeat a lot. It doesn't always work for me but then I could say the same thing for almost everything.

Up until I started buying this stuff, for me Bobby Rosengarden was Dick Cavett's bandleader on his old talk show. As a kid that show was the height of wit and sophistication but when I see samples of it now, I realize that it was kind of a strange show and that Dick was a kiss-ass effete snob. (But so am I???) I love the way all kinds of musicians had very limited frames of reference for me until I started seeing their names on these records. "Oh him? He was in Merv's band. That guy there? Isn't that Happy Kyne?" I'm sure others will recommend all Bobby's records on Command but I'll just put in one more vote for the "Bob and Phil" record with "Blowin in the wind" on it. >>Now the label...this is the first record on the Time label that I have >bought. Are these generally good? Any to be avoided? I think they're generally bad but then again, I don't think I would have recommended the Spanish Guitar one that you like. I almost always buy them and I'm almost always disappointed. The two that I've kept are "Gershwin Guitars" and "Flutes and Percussion". If they have huge string sections listed on the back, I occasionally pass them up.

You read the liner notes and the producers tell this whole story about loving Enoch Light and Command and then you hear their tribute and... It's just a total disconnect. I'm not sure I blame them though. It's just as likely that the musicians themselves were unwilling - or incapable - not only of "reproducing" that sound but of doing anything that could be considered a tribute to that sound. On the other hand, if it was easy to reproduce that sound and that sensibility, then those original records wouldn't be as unique as they are.

Well I did stop short of screaming "sell out!". But narrating PBS films and providing music for that particular TV guide awards show are quite different. I understand the concept of making a living - unfortunately that's all I understand is the concept - but it's one thing to provide background music for a film and another thing to support the cheesy sausage-making mediocrity that you once implicitly railed against in your own music.

Yost" Subject: (exotica) Dimitri/samples & lounge book Date: 04 Feb 1999 19:05:42 -0800 (PST) I think an artist can get a lot more "mileage" out of musical (non-verbal) samples in an otherwise instrumental song than with verbal samples, because the verbal too easily becomes a focal point. I personally don't care for the "Very Stylish Girl" track, regardless of where I've heard it (home, car, gym), because the samples are repeated so often, but I do think it would be a different story if I didn't speak English (and thus the samples were just sound, not words I understood). It would also be a different story if Dimitri did something to alter the samples over the course of the song, such as speeding them up, slowing them down, playing them backwards, or distorting them somehow. Actually, it would be a perfectly acceptible song without the samples, for that matter. In another matter, has anyone seen that "exotica" book that was supposed to come out in early 1999, the name of which was "Exotiquarium" or something very close to the name of Johan's website? It was mentioned on the list something like six months ago and sounded like it might be promising. -- Brad # 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: "Robert Baldock" Subject: Re: (exotica) exotica etc Date: 05 Feb 1999 00:47:27 -0000 Jack wrote: > can anyone please tell me the url for ppeeks exotica etc site ?

Can't argue with that! But, I have to say that I've enjoyed the sampling used in many musical genres, from rap/hiphop (you name it, but for my tastes I think "Welcome to the Terrordome" by Public Enemy is GREAT and uses sampling well), experimental (like "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" by Byrne/Eno), Minimalist/Classical (like "Different Trains" by Reich), pop/triphop (like Portushead, Skylab, Beck), Worldbeat disco gregorian chant mutations, etc., etc., and I've enjoyed sampling in these and other multiple genres when it was well done, so I don't think that my tastes are TOO limited, mind ya.' And, here's the punchline..... 90% is way more slick than dimitri. Listening to his samples is like listening to water drip. Sorry, just an honest difference of opinion.

Amazing... There exist a record with the soundtrack of Tron. I once had it, but didn't like it. It was mainly orchestral music with some synth sounds on top. Carlos created lots of music for The Shining but only small snippets of it were actually used in the film. (as was the case for Clockwork Orange, but I believe the reason here was that the Clockwork Orange score by Carlos was not finished in time.)

My brother-in-law, the design professor, freaked out when he saw all my Enoch Light Command albums. Many of the covers were done by well-known modernist artists of the time (he was familiar with them) like Josef Albers (Persuasive Percussion cover and others), who was involved in the Bauhaus movement in Germany. Fujita was another. Notice that many of the albums had an art director! So such a book is not suprising, and probably will be pretty cool.

That was long enough. I did the retail thing, working for one of the largest music retailers in the country and finally got out because I couldn't take it anymore. Needless to say, I have *all kinds* of horror stories involving lyrics and song titles. Favorites: "Do you have that song 'Zed Petro' by Metallica?" after much debate that there was no such song, the kid triumphantly returned the following day to inform me that it was on the "black album". Sure enough, "Sad But True" ("Zed Petro") was on there. "What is 'Cahoon' Music?" Rather curious, about this myself, I had the woman take me to the section she was referring to. I then explained to her what "Cajun" was. "Do you have the new CD by 'Ninja'?" Sure enough, we found Enya in the New Age section. And finally.... we had a gentleman come in looking for a song called "My Cherokee Friend." The customer was on "shore leave" from the local mental institution. I'm not being mean, this is the truth. Once a month, all the non-dangerous types got to go on a field trip to the mall. Anyway, "My Cherokee Friend" was allegedly performed by a trio comprising of Elvis, James Brown, and "Some Cherokee Guy". He then proceeded to sing this song to me in a voice that I cannot do justice in print. We never did track it down. He says he saw it on TV when he was a kid. SO, big question: does anyone know what the hell he was talking about?! :) (I'd love to find this song -not that I really think it exists- because his voice has been haunting me since 1991). Now I do e-mail based tech support for a large ISP. I wish I could say that the questions I get are more intelligent, and intelligible, but they're not. ;) -Kev # 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: Subject: (exotica) One more!

The colorful San Francisco Democrat observed on the Senate floor today that he no longer held the office since Gov. Gray Davis had returned from his trade trip to Mexico. Burton noted that the sun hadn't shone since then, and that taxes hadn't been raised on his watch. He took advantage of his short-lived power Tuesday by issuing a proclamation to honor Keely Smith, who Burton said ``has dazzled audiences around the world with such hits as ''That Old Black Magic,`` ''The Song is You,`` and ''I Wish You Love.`` Burton said he timed ``Keely Smith Day'' for her scheduled induction into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame today. He became acting governor when Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa joined Davis on the Mexico trip. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Herbert Klynn, Lili St. Cyr, Julius Wechter obits Date: 05 Feb 1999 10:19:29 -0600 *Herbert Klynn LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Herbert Klynn, an award-winning graphic designer and artist who helped create cartoon shorts featuring Mr. Magoo and Madeline and animated TV shows including ``The Lone Ranger,'' died Wednesday. He was 81. Klynn's 50-year career included the creation of the innovative graphic titles for the ``I Spy'' 1960s TV series starring Bill Cosby and Robert Culp, and ``The Duck Factory,'' a 1984 sitcom about an animation studio that featured Jim Carrey. Klynn collaborated on other projects with such prominent authors as Ted Geisel of ``Dr. Seuss'' fame and science fiction novelist Ray Bradbury. He was honored by the International Animated Film Society with an ``Annie Award'' for his contributions to the art of animation. *Lili St. Cyr LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lili St. Cyr, a striptease performer of the 1940s and 1950s whose act included onstage bubble baths, died Friday. She was 80. Born Willis Marie Van Schaack, St. Cyr studied ballet and worked as a chorus girl before making her breakthrough in vaudeville as a striptease artist. St. Cyr also worked briefly in films, appearing in such B movies as ``The Naked and the Dead,'' in 1958, based on the Norman Mailer novel. Other films included ``The Miami Story'' in 1954 with Barry Sullivan, and ``Son of Sinbad'' in 1955 with Dale Robertson and Vincent Price. http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=10:15:48|AM&p=avg&sql=B67376 *Julius Wechter LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Julius Wechter, a marimba player with Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass who composed ``Spanish Flea,'' died Monday of lung cancer. He was 63. ``Spanish Flea'' was recorded by Alpert and more than 60 others. It was used as the theme for television's ``The Dating Game'' and has been heard on everything from commercials to the soundtrack of ``Beverly Hills Cop II'' to a recent episode of the TV series ``The Simpsons.'' Wechter's musical career began at age 5 when he started playing piano. He played with small bands during college, he went on to play marimba for Martin Denny in Hawaii for four years. Wechter returned to Los Angeles to do studio work with such performers as the Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher and the Righteous Brothers. That work led to a spot in Alpert's band. At Alpert's urging, Wechter formed the Baja Marimba Band, whose trademark song was ``Comin' in the Back Door.'' The nine-person group recorded 18 albums in five years. http://elvispelvis.com/juliuswechter.htm http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=10:16:26|AM&p=avg&sql=B116200 # 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: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) Words that never were true Date: 05 Feb 1999 07:30:51 -0800 (PST) My all time favorite is my younger brother's rendition of a stale Charlie Rich song from the mid 70's - "Looking for Gloves in all the Wrong Places" (when he was a little fella/he was dropped upon his fontanell-a). _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

My friend sent me this one earlier this morning. http://www.mardigras.com/ Also I'm the captain of a Tiki flavored carnival club that parades on Mardis Gras morning at 7:45am to 1:00 pm We take the traditional parade route starting at 2d St & St Charles and winding all the way down and through the French Quarter. Our name is Mondo Kayo (prounced k-ey- yo). We were formed in 1982 and have been playing Martin Denny on Mardis Gras day since then. We start off this year with the moog version of Quiet Villiage (gracias Jack) mixed into Baxter's I Simba, Tipsy's Bomba Atomica, Dimitri's Sacre Frances, Take it Easy, by Cugat and then 2 by CE. Later we mix in Mucha Muchacha & Cachita by Esquivel, Miniskirt by P5/CE, Que Rico Mambo by Prado, April March, and a few others like the Marboro theme and modern surf. There is a variety of Soca, Zouk, Soukous, Chutney, Charanga, High Life, Norteno, Merenge, Compass all played on a huge speaker system that sets off car alarms as we pass by. Everyone dresses Tiki tropical with grass skirts, banana leafs & strange exotic headpieces. We throw golden bananas that say Mondo Kayo Carnival Club on litlle stickers. Our carnival floats have Tiki statues on them and we sometimes carry a giant Mayan Pyramid made out of foam rubber. Now we have a giant banana that the kids ride on. There' 150 of us and very few know what kind of music they are listening to. When we toast the mayor we play Quiet Villiage in the background and call him the leader of the northernmost banana republic. Then the Chaquita Banana Commercial kicks in. Its really hilarious and I've been doing this for 17 years. If anyone is going to make it down here for Mardis Gras please email me & you're welcome to join us. Also any suggestiions of songs to add to our tapes are welcome. Can you imagine what New Orleanians and tourists think when they hear Quiet Villiage moog on Mardis Gras morning at 7:45am!?

Peter Thomas, vocal by Uschi Glas: "Mein Wochenende" o album "Moonflowers & Mini-skirts" o CD, Marina, Germany, 1998 | +++++ o info: Each track (except for 1 sung by Donna Summer maybe) is a winner, but the collection in a whole sounds a bit too repetitive, especially compared to the 2 other Peter Thomas compilations available. 2. Peter Thomas: "Jerry-Cotton-March" o album "Film Musik" (Original Musik aus den Edgar Wallace und Jerry Cotton Filmen) o CD, Polydor 517 096, Germany, 198?, deleted | ++++ o info: Unfortunately deleted, it contains a couple of really cool and jazzy tracks not available elsewhere. 3. LEITMOTIV: Jerry Cotton & Co.: "Dialogue & sound effects" o album "Film Musik" (Original Musik aus den Edgar Wallace und Jerry Cotton Filmen) o see above mention of this record for more details. 4. Peter Thomas: "Cruising" o soundtrack "100% Cotton" (The complete Jerry Cotton Edition) o Double LP/Double CD, Crippled Dick Hot Wax 04366, Germany, 1998 | +++++ o info: PROS: incredibly cool crime jazzy music. CONS: A double LP is maybe a bit too much of it; several themes are repeated over and over with only slight variations; a cover that looks beautiful at first sight, but reveals the hand of a real amateur graphic artist; and worst of all: you don't know what original film title each tarck is taken from. 5. Peter Thomas Sound Orchester: "Andante novembra" o album "Easy loungin'. Twenty easy listening classics" o CD, Polydor 529 491-2, Germany, 1995 | +++++ o info: This ain't no "easy listening": this is the "hard rock" of EZ! Loud, fast and mean, with a screaming woman to start it off and electric bass mixed up front. "Woow-factor" 10! Tracks: Space Patrol; Twiggy Beat; Der Hexer; Mister Unbekannt; Take It Jerry; Like To Get To Know You; Pardon Me Mrs. Carmen; Die Gruft mit dem Raetselschloss; Gente; Pizzicato-Leo; Mars Close Up (from the "Raumpatrouille" soundtrack); Verraeter; Monster; Der Gorilla von Soho; Landing On The Moon; Slimfinado; Andante Novembra; Big Boss; The World is Gone; Till The Blue Moon. 6. Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchester: "Bolero on the moon rocks" o soundtrack "Raumpatrouille" (Space patrol) o CD, Polyphon 838 227-2, Germany, 199? | +++++ o Review: http://bewoner.dma.be/Dada/critiq/T/Raumpatr.htm 7. Peter Thomas: "Im Banne des Unheimlichen: Penelope" o album "Film Musik" (Original Musik aus den Edgar Wallace und Jerry Cotton Filmen) o see above 8. Peter Thomas: "Aha!" o album "Kriminalfilmmusik" o CD, Prudence/BSC Music 398.6533 distr. Rough Trade, Germany, 1998 | +++ o info: Music from "Der Zinker", "Die seltsame Grafin", "Der Hexer", "Das Verratertor", "Das Geheimnis de weissen Nonnezimmer 13", "Das Indische Tuch", "Das Ratsel der roten Orchidee", "Die weisse Spinne". There's a lot of gentle, ultra-light cocktail music without any surprises, nothing special really; only about half of the tracks are worth hearing, so this one's only for Peter Thomas completionists. 9. Peter Thomas: "Madman's terror" o album "Kriminalfilmmusik" o see above 10. Peter Thomas Sound Orchester: "Der Hexer" o album "Easy loungin'. Twenty easy listening classics" o see above o info: (This track also appears on "FutureMuzik") 11. Peter Thomas: "French girl in Manhattan" o soundtrack "100% Cotton" (The complete Jerry Cotton Edition) o see above 12. Peter Thomas: "Schusse aus dem Geigenkasten Suite 4 - fragment" o soundtrack "100% Cotton" (The complete Jerry Cotton Edition) o see above 13. Peter Thomas: "Jumpin' Jack flash" o compilation "The Mood Mosaic 4: Les Yper Sound!" o Double LP/CD, YellowStone 9569, Italy, 1997 | +++++ o info: The best of the series, IMHO! A hip mix of mostly uptempo, bright, optimistic, jazzy, funky 60's "now" EZ pop sounds with a lot of soul, and a bit of bossa and other Latin influences here and there. A couple of Hammond tracks, 1 "spy" track by Ken Thorne, 2 fun tracks with nonsense lyrics: "Sorry 'bout that" and Gary McFarland with "Bloop bleep". 4 vocal tracks, 3 of which are mediocre, the other 18 instrumental. Featuring Nilsmen, Stan Getz, Pete Moore, Jackie Mitoo, Clark Terry, Shirley Scott, Oliver Nelson, Peter Thomas with "Jumpin' Jack Flash", Enoch Light with "Bond street" from his "Sapced out" LP, Ann Margret with an instrumental (!), Bill Plummer with another sitar track from that elusive "Cosmic Brotherhood" LP, Don Sebesky... 14. Peter Thomas: "Gotter von fremden Sternen: Vom Vor-vorgestern zum Uber-ubermorgen" o soundtrack "Erinnerungen an die Zukunft" (Chariots of the Gods) o CD, Polydor 573502, Germany, 1998 | +++ o info: Imagine Morricone's orchestral spaghetti soundtrack pieces from "Once upon a time in the West", mixed with elements of "Raumpatrouille", musique concrete and Elizabeth Waldo-like primitive percussion. A very fascinating soundtrack! It's a pitty Polygram didn't bother to remaster it and add track divisions... The track "Gotter von fremden Sternen" (Gods from strange planets) is also featured on the "FutureMuzik" compilation, and is probably the best piece from the soundtrack... it certainly has the most catchy melody. 15. Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra: "Curse of the hidden vault (Die Gruft mit dem Ratselschloss)" o album "FutureMuzik" o CD, Scamp 9724, USA, 1998 | +++++ o Review: http://bewoner.dma.be/Dada/critiq/A/PeterThomasFuturemuzik.htm 16. Peter Thomas: "Asphalt jungle" o soundtrack "100% Cotton" (The complete Jerry Cotton Edition) o see above 17. Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchestra: "Valleri" o compilation "Get Easy! vol.4: The German Pop Collection" (compiled by DJ Maxwell) o CD & Double LP, Motor 553 598, Germany, 1997 | ++++ o info: I liked this volume, with German EZ & Pop Tunes from the 60's and 70's, a lot better than the "French collection". A lot depends on geographics; if you think everything French is cool/quirky/exotic, than you'll love the French one. If you're not sure, then go for the German. That one only has 2 lame tracks, by Katja Ebstein, and Lilian Atterer; both very plain 60's popular vocals; 8 other are good vocal tracks, the remaining 14 are instromentals. All in all a very soulful and funky compilation, with plenty of that "European" big band sound. Some highlights: -- Klaus Wunderlich's version of Mancini's "Baby elephant walk", which is very true to the original Mancini sound and yet very different and original -- James Last's "Aquarius" with phase shifting all over -- Hildegarde Knef with a slow funk number; if you like low, smokey, female vocals, then check her out -- Orchester Horst Jankowski: "Pata pata" has both whistling (in the intro) and wordless scat "pabapaba" vocals from the swinging Jankowski Singers -- Die Jankowski Singers have a second track, "rocking voices", on which they sound very much like the Swingle Singers, but with a beat. -- also 2 Peter Thomas tracks not on any other CD (yet), and tracks by Manfred Krug, Roberto Delgado, Charlie Antolini... 18. Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra: "The hunchback of Soho (Der Bucklige von Soho): Shock" o album "FutureMuzik" o see above 19. Peter Thomas: "Brooklyn by night" o soundtrack "100% Cotton" (The complete Jerry Cotton Edition) o see above 20. Peter Thomas: "Mr. FBI" o album "Film Musik" (Original Musik aus den Edgar Wallace und Jerry Cotton Filmen) o see above 21.

Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchester: "Mars Close Up" o soundtrack "Raumpatrouille" (includes 3 bonus tracks) o CD, Bungalow BUNG 009, Germany, 1998 | +++++ o info: Organs in orbit. Bonus tracks: "Mars Close Up"; "Hedono"; "Moontown". I'm not sure myself if these 3 are really left-overs from the original 60's soundtrack (as Bungalow claims), as they sound much more 70's to me... 26. Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra: "The hunchback of Soho (Der Bucklige von Soho): The reverend goes to hell" o album "FutureMuzik" o see above 27. Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchester, vocal by James D. Atterly: "Shub-a-dooe" o soundtrack "Raumpatrouille" (Space patrol) o see above 28. Peter Thomas: "Hexer's nightclub 1" o album "Kriminalfilmmusik" o see above 29. Peter-Thomas-Sound-Orchester: "Malaparte sinus" o soundtrack "Orion 2000" o 10", Bungalow bung 008, distr. Rough Trade, Germany, 1996 | ++++ o info: "Raumpatrouille" main theme + 3 tracks that Peter Thomas recorded in 1975 to capture the spirit of the future once again. Even more wild and loud, with extra electric guitars, hard rockin' drums, and electronics that at one point are almost painful.

Lo Bue wrote of his perfect day: >As I was spinning out, I fell across a Ferrante & Teicher... >http://www.lobue-art.com/Misc/Heaven.JPG >I had heard that their early stuff in the experimental sounds department >was great, but this was truly fantastic! There was even an earlier one >than this called "HI-FIreworks" that is simply astonishing. At last! A mention of F&T's Heavenly Sounds in Hi-Fi! I've wondered about this treasure: Why didn't it crop up more often here in raves about F&T's treated piano stuff? Blast Off! and FIreworks come up now and then, and Ross occasionally lobbies for Dynamic Twin Pianos, a berserk and inspired LP. About Heavenly (ABC-Paramount, ABCS-221 and ABC-221): It's all sky songs: Stella by Starlight, The Moon Was Yellow, Stardust (and a fab one, too) a lackluster Over the Rainbow, a dazzling Serenade to a Star -- you get the idea. Arrangements showcase much rumbling bassy piano and melodic lines mixing deep and high registers. A glockenspiel (I think) flits in and out of some arrangements along with something that could be a theremin or piano strings scratched to tone. String strumming produces a sound similar to a zither or Indian sarangi. I'd wondered where Heavenly stood in F&T's career since my copy, a remastered stereo release (?), has no date. Recently found a partial answer in the liner notes for the mono F&T Play Light Classics, also n.d. Here's a chronology: Heavenly Sounds in Hi-Fi (ABC-221) F&T with Percussion (ABC-248) Blast Off! (ABC-285) F&T Play Light Classics (ABC-313) Could a treated piano fan supply the date/label for HI-FIreworks? Even better, how's about the URL for an F&T discography? TIA. About F&T's Light Classics: It's dull. Look for it only for the sleeve photo of mauve rose buds, opera glasses, concert hall tickets, a strip of yellowed lace. It seems Arthur and Louis decided, Hey, let's make some dough, abandoning their explorations of delectibly strange beauty for more easily digested music. Arrangements offer a few of the trills and pyrogenics that became F&T's signature sound later on. Light Classics is not awful but it's awfully pedestrian.

Think about it: Com Ed covered a tune from 8 1/2 on I, Swinger, Rota's theme from La Strada was a hit, and Jack and others DJs sometimes drop Rota cuts in their sets. I've been freakin' for Rota since 1981, when Hal Willner produced Amarcord, a tribute LP of music from Fellini films. If you're at all Rota-curious, go for the Fellini stuff. It's is far and away Rota's best, although I also like the music for The Godfather 1. For Fellini, Rota spades on the irony, burying mocking little backhanded tributes to pop music and quoting symphonic war horses in his scores. The instrumentation is imaginative, clever, often unexpected. RCA released most of the classic Rota Fellini soundtracks (8 1/2, La Dolce Vita, Amarcord) on vinyl in Europe with Italian or French liner notes and the Italian label CAM released Fellini/Rota OSTs on vinyl and CD. Within the past year or two Carlos Savina, the guy who conducts on most Rota/Fellini OSTs, scored a minor hit on the classical charts with a suite of Rota's Fellini music. I don't have the CD, so can't ID the label. A superior intro to Rota's Fellini themes is CAM's Rota, Tutti i film di Fellini (SAG 9053, recorded Dec. 1973). Rare, I reckon; I've seen one copy in hundreds of hours spent rummaging through used bins. Gatefold packaging with a silver front cover and production stills from the films on back. Inside, fine photos of Rota and Fellini and a snap of Fellini, Rota and Savina "in un momento della registrazione." A last comment on Rota: someone asked about listenable covers of Fellini/Rota music. Look for Ray Ellis and His Orchestra, La Dolce Vita and Other Great Motion Picture Themes (RCA Victor, LSP-2410, 1961). Black, purple and white all-type cover graphics. Two Rotas here: The La Dolce Vita theme, done as a cha cha, and Pariami di Me in a rumba arrangement. For my tastes, the rest of the record can be ignored. Beware, the song catalog on the back is wrong, wrong, wrong -- not even close to the actual cuts on the record; for god's sake, Pariami di Me and La Dolce Vita aren't even listed! Some art director at RCA probably lost a job over that screw-up. Tony Motolla & Orch serve up a pretty La Strada on Roman Guitar, Command RS 816 SD. Al, I must join you in urging eXoticats to see the rereleased Nights of Cabiria. Masina is breathtaking, veering between touching and tough. Watch it for an unforgettable nightclub scene with a mambo singer dressed in a brocade dinner jacket that The Millionaire would crave. "The whole world mambos!" a secondary character yells. Isn't that a sentiment y'all can endorse?

This soundtrack is fabulous, thanks to whoever posted about it. Its really wild, psychedelic weird with moog & splashing effects. Not much of a description I know but its more 70s psychedelic then 60s now sound. I was wondering if this band or its members did anything else similiar. I'm also listening to il Serpente by Morricone (1998 Screen Trax) and it has its share of great moments but its not great all the way through.

Either Time under-utilized him or old Hugo was still finding his voice, since the bulk of these albums are unimaginative string arrangements. He put out a series of four volumes of Americian Musical Theater and Great Songs from Motion Pictures which are pretty pathetic renditions of mostly mediocre material. I agree with Sean that Boogie-Woogie and Bongos and Bongos and Brass are high points in his Time career, I would also add Cha Chas for Dancing.The rest, where you might be able to apologetically find a decent tune or two, really aren't worth it. Save you money for the RCA recordings. In 1965 he recorded his first album for RCA which just happened to be the music to The Man From UNCLE. The music style changed and so did Hugo which brings up a sort of chicken-and-egg kind of question. Did Montenegro just go along with what his label execs told him, or did he make a conscious move to RCA so his new hip sensibilites could flourish? Of course, we know that RCA got some great albums out of him throught the 60's and up through the 70's. It's funny that there's a tendency to want to like or find justification of some artist that we like when we discover that they went through a phase of putting out stuff we don't like. I admit that I still own some Montenegro that I don't particularly care for but, I sometimes like to listen to them just because it's Hugo. It's not that they are such *bad* albums, it's just that in contrast to his great albums they don't measure up or rather they are so stylistically different that it's hard to admit that it's the real Montenegro.The "taste maker" in me wants to prune these out of my collection. Ah, but the librarian in me keeps them where they are. Conversely, we might also decide not to like some one based upon a few albums and miss out on recordings that are markedly better.I neglected to pick up any Ferrante and Teicher albums for the longest time simply because I had judged their whole carrer based on their UnitedArtists recordings. Not until a friend gave me the Percussion album did I realize that the ABC recordings were quite different. Which leads to an interesting thread topic; Are there any other examples of these "Label Jumpers"?

Not only did he put out a number of albums on Grand Award and Command (Enoch Light labels), but he also was the president of some national society of accordianists and was quite influential in promoting the accordian as a legitimate instrument. The accordian never achieved the status it has in Russia, but at least it was pushed higher thanks to his efforts. I love all of his albums: he seems to concentrate on Spanish and Italian themed material, but it is the musical or standards selections he does I most enjoy. I don't know why the prices seem so high...I have never bought any of his for more than a couple of bucks or seen them for more than that.

I'm not going to dispute the idea that the prepared piano "exotica" records are more interesting in general but I have to put in a good word or two for the rest of the records, which you're calling schmaltz. And most of them are schmaltzy I guess. But for instance "Latin Pianos" (with Don Costa) is a great record. And scattered through their "now sound" records, there are occasionally great cuts such as "Lay Lady Lay" from the Getting Together LP. I think they were basically always "schmaltzy" but sometimes they got lucky and were more than that.

Does anyone out there know much more about UK Percussion guy Frank Barber?? A list of albums? I have only one album by him - "Swingin' Percussion" and its wonderful. My favorite version yet of "Spanish Flea" - I'm thinking seriously of making myself a tape of all the versions of this song - if I see it on an unknown albums songlist I'll normally buy it. Quite a good quality indicator I find. I've only ever seen one other album by him and it was a "Hits of the 30's" type affair. Picked up a couple of nice odd moog finds this weekend. The Carmets "Synthesizer Electric Sound", Moog & Arranged by Yusuke Hoguchi. (JVC Quad CD-4) "Golden Hour of Golden Instrumental Hits featuring The Many Moogs of Killer Watts" (Pye - Golden Hour) Killer title huh. Pretty good for a budget label and it really is 60mins+ long - on Side 2 the last groove is so close to the label my turntable refuses to play the last song - the autostop kicks in there. Budget or what? The other albums on this label pictured on the back lack any promise - Golden Hours of Max Bygraves, Russ Conway & Jims Mcleods Golden Hour of Scottish Dancing.

The first prepared F&T (and I personally think, while still mighty cool, the least developed and least interesting), _HI-FIreworks_ was released on Columbia CL 573 around 1954-55. Original pressings give the title on the label as something like _Hi-Fi 3-D Pianos_. It was reissued less "Susanna's Last Stand" and "Semper Fidelis" on Columbia's budget Harmony label as _Fireworks_ sometime in the 1960s as HL 7427 and SH 11227 (simulated stereo; actually sounds pretty nifty). > Even better, how's about the URL for an F&T discography?

It's *extremely* important to note that _Heavenly Sounds of F&T w/ Orch._ looks/sounds *totally different* from the original _Heavenly Sounds In Hi-Fi_. With F&T's UA "orchestral" sound so commercially successful, ABC recorded new orchestral overdubs for the _Heavenly Sounds_ album, as well as _Blast Off!_ (minus "In the Rain" as _We've Got Rhythm_ (ABC/ABCS 556)). Sure, occasionally some of the weird piano effects are smothered in strings, but I found many of the orchestral overdubbed versions of HS songs came off much more cinematic and epic sci-fi. And while I'm sure the added orchestra was intended to make these sound more "commercially viable," the truth is there's nothing overdubs can do to un-weird stuff like "Chopsticks Cha Cha" from _Blast Off!_ (I personally think the imposed strings made it even *weirder*). I think any real prepared F&T fan would want these odd variant editions as well. I'd like to close by saying God bless Doug Frisby for helping _Blast Off!_ see the light of day on CD.

There is an excellent version of Spanish Flea by Peter Nero on his Tribute to Herb Alpert album. This album is worth buying as they are not simply cover versions, but differently enough arranged to be entertaining. Wonder if a CD version is out? My vinyl copy sticks...

The new 2-CD set includes these instrumental versions, as well as an English cover of "Chanson des jumelles" ("A Pair of Twins"), a recording of Michel Legrand's work sessions as he tried to come up with that song (5 minutes of him going through various melodies, it's fascinating), and a medley by the Michel Legrand Quintet. The booklet is excellent and has wonderful photos. Overall it's an improvement on the original soundtrack, though I kept my version of that one to have the "clean" songs (without dialog cues).

The show was very good, but not much different from the last time I saw them. No new tracks, though I was happy to hear them play a bunch of the ones I like. It would have been nice to hear Impact, but hearing Spy vs. Spy was nice. They closed with Miniskirt, which is always good to hear. I also taped the show for any Combustible Edison tapers that may be lurking out there. I also picked up their movie, Opening Act. It was described by their merchandise man as "A surreal movie that kinda has a plot." That's about right. I won't give it away, but it's definatley interesting and only a half hour long.

I believe the mono version goes by the title Soundblast! It is a must own, but unfortunately it is not an easy find. I also agree with Nat Kone that some of their earlier albums like Latin Pianos which do not feature prepared piano sounds are quite good, too. I can't handle their ultra-schmaltzy recordings but love the following: Golden Piano Hits (WWS 8505) The Enchanted World of Ferrante & Teicher (UAS 6375) Pianos in Paradise (UAL 3230) Their LP Love Themes from Cleopatra (UAL 3290) seems to alternate between good track, bad track, good track, etc. It almost seems intentional. I have also heard that their early xmas LP, Adventures in Carols, features prepared piano. I have their later xmas LP, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. It's not bad.

Also what was weird was that they did not interview him for the documentary. He is the ONLY living member! What a mistake - Or maybe the guy is too sick to be interviewed, who knows. Also, what about Shirley MacLean? Much has been made of her involvement in the rat pack, yet they didn't even mention her as a member???? I wondered the same thing, as well as why not question living legend Lauren Bacall? I read where Joey is just an old man content to do cross word puzzles and not do interviews(geez, sounds like Julie London)...but he would offer some of the best and only insight around!

I don't think so. The IMdb list 150 credits in Rota's Composer Filmography. Many are recycled snippets from his earlier scores. Scenes from a Mall, for instance, picked up Amarcord and Juliet of the Spirits. But westerns? Got me. Judge for yourself at http://us.imdb.com/search and enter Nino Rota. For an overview of Rota's other film scores, check the 1993 CD, Nino Rota Film Music (CAM, CVS004). DRG sold it stateside. The themes and directors are: Napoli milionaria De Filippo The Glass Mountain Anton & Cass La Dolce Vita Fellini Sunset Sunrise Kurahara White Nights (Le notti bianche) Visconti War & Peace (Guerra e pace) King Vidor Romeo & Juliet (Romeo e Giulietta) Zeffirelli The Leopard (Il gattopardo) Visconti Rocco & His Brothers (Rocco e i suoi fratelli) Visconti La bisbetica domata (The Taming of the Shrew) Zeffirelli Purple Noon (Theme from Plein Soleil) Clement The Godfather (Il padrino) Coppola In 94 DRG Movies released another Rota OST: Spara forte piu forte non capisco (Shoot Louder, Louder...I Don't Understand), a de Filippo film. Intriguing liner notes explain how this almost became a lost score. Recommended for hard-core Rota-philes. It's not his best but makes a lot of his classic moves: A charming Chaplinesque theme for the heroine, played by Raquel Welch, and some delectable quotes from La dolce vita. And you can't forget the bit played on a saw. Am pretty sure DRG is still peddling the CD, and it seems CAM released it in Europe in 93. Thx to all for Rota cover recs. I'd LOVE to hear Snakefinger's take on Rota -- same with the Three Suns. In a dash o' synchronicity, the host of a local lounge/EZ radio show played a tasty La dolce vita theme by the Harmonicats. Harmonicas doing a Rota tango! Maybe not as inspired as Comelade adding toy piano to the Rota mix, but quite pleasing. The host didn't ID the Harmonicats record. Anyone know?

I am convinced that a good boot generally sounds bettter then your average cd. Vinyl sounds the best and the less technology you throw at it when remastering it to cd the better.

I feel very lucky to own a copy and it features a hell of o lot prepared piano effects. The track "Man from Mars" just mystifies me... I never heard that one about Proof and Blast being mono and stereo versions of the same album. The Westminster number on Soundproof is WP 6014 and the number I've found for Soundblast is 6041, so I've always hoped that they were two different albums but I keep finding clues to the contrary. On the back cover of the Research book Incredibly Strange Music vol. 1 there's a picture of Soundblast (lower right). While the cover photo is different than Proof the both have the sub title "the sound of tomorrow today". BTW the date on the back, 1956, places it between HiFireworks and the first UA album.

They had it listed in new arrivals as 'Ennio Morricone house remix' by some dj i'd heard of. It appears to me to be beautiful wordless vocal bossa nova based music recorded with a live band (balanco) rather than samples, though otherwise quite similar to fantastic plastic machine (though humour is not part of the intention), and does include 1 Morricone track. Anyone know anything about it? i'd thoroughly recommend it. also picked up the original cast soundtrack recording from the japanese production of hair (in japanese naturally), which certainly beats it in english. how it got here i'll never know. and a new stock hausen and walkman split 7" 'dirty thirtysomething' that spanks brain meat and can't been beat. ciao rob ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Subject: (exotica) Re: Nymphomania CD's from "Germany" Date: 08 Feb 1999 09:36:12 -0800 Jack I also don't think those Nymphomanias are from Germany, I mean the "Hexy Sexy" record label just reeks of boot smell.

Not ONE other track is even HALF as good as that title theme; it's all rather lame background funk.

Being a huge fan of Julie London, I decided to tape some of her songs for my grandmother. I selected a few from the (very fine) album 'Your number please', and left it recording. However, the autoreverse mechanism malfunctioned, producing an aural oddity which belongs in a modern art show: The song 'One for my baby' plays at a fraction of the correct speed, and so instead of Julie's divine voice, the vocal sounds like a dinosaur rolling around in a swamp. This continues, stretching a three minute song out to about 15 minutes, until the recording suddenly speeds up, leaving Julie to sing the closing bars. Assuming my grandmother wouldn't dig it, I re-did the tape, saving the odd version for myself. Just wanted to share that one.

Any Three Sun afficianado out there want to volunteer to make a little list of the records they consider the "essential" ones? Or even better, list the essential, semi-essential, pretty good but not essential and "don't bother" ones. From the records I own, I guess I'd have to categorize them into A, B and C. "A" would be "Movin and Groovin" or on a good day "On a Magic Carpet" (which is probably more A minus or B plus) And "B" would be "The things I love in hi fi" (the one with the pipe organ) and "A Swinging Thing". And "C" would be this one I found the other day at the Goodwill, "Slumberland" or something. The title should have warned me but the cover was great and it was only half a buck. Or maybe you need to add "D" material too. Then I'd put Slumberland in the "D" and in the "C" I would put "Love in the Afternoon" and "Soft n Sweet". Problem with the Suns is that even records like "Movin and Groovin" which contain absolutely classic sublime cuts like "Danny's Inferno" still contain a cut or two that you hope you never hear again.

This is one of my all time favourite soundtracks. The flute and the moog, laid over the minimal funky music give a very moody and laid back feel. There is no lame track on the whole LP and in general, it is fantastic from start to finish. Interestingly, there is no track from this soundtrack on the Sound Gallery compilation. Alan Tew was asked to do 'The Detectives' theme tune for a Two Ronnies (comedy programme) sketch in the 70s. Instead of doing something original, he knocked up the Hanged Man theme into something slightly different. The Detectives is on The Sound Gallery, not the Hanged Man. This soundtrack is a UK gem and is well worth having. The TV series it came from was also excellent.

I had very high expectations for this soundtrack, after hearing the incredible and superbe title theme by Alan Tew on "The Spond Gallery"; but this CD was a big disappointment! Not ONE other track is even HALF as good as that title theme; it's all rather lame background funk. Some tracks could be described as "mellow", and the beat on many others is closer to disco than to funk. Not recommended at all! >> Unlike Johan, I give this album the thumbs up. It is one of the better '70s funk styled TV or film soundtracks of the '70s The label that put it out, "Intoxica," also happens to be one of the top stores for rare used vinyl in London which should clue you into its interest value in the first place. I don't have the album in front of me but the third or fourth track is a great 3 minute workout of the music that became popularized as the theme to "The Peoples Court" (that enough is worth owning for!) while the rest of the music falls into that Lalo Schiffrin/Streets Of San Francisco/'70s TV cop show style. If that's your kind of sound it is highly reccommended.

The vinyl was released by Depth Charge records, run By J Saul Kane of 'Depth Charge' fame who also DJs Hip Hop/Trip Hop. I think the vinyl was cut very much with this in mind, from the sleeve notes on the Depth Charge LP it would seem that Kane is a lover of vinyl, and I bet he would put a lot more effort into the sound of the vinyl than the CD. I love it. Played through a club system it really comes into its own, just love that bass, especially 'Contract Killer'(?) and GBH on side 1. I can imagine it fitting really well into a Hip Hop/Funk set. Definitely not for the background.

(AP) -- Gwen Guthrie, a singer and songwriter who recorded several dance and R&B hits during the 1980s, died Wednesday of uterine cancer. She was 42. She got her break in the mid-1970s when she was hired as a background vocalist for Aretha Franklin and later worked with Roberta Flack and Luther Vandross. She became a popular recording session singer, performing on albums by Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan, among others. Her biggest solo success came in 1986 with ``Ain't Nothin' Goin' on But the Rent.'' Words from that song -- ``no romance without finance'' -- became a popular catch-phrase. She was also among the first recording artists to raise money for the fight against AIDS. Guthrie's self-titled debut album was released in 1982, featuring the song ``Should Have Been You,'' which helped establish her as one of the top club music performers of the period. http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B4417 *Elario Questas WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) -- Elario Questas, thought to be the oldest man in Hawaii, died Friday at the age of 112. Questas was born Aug. 6, 1886, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. At the time, Grover Cleveland was in the White House and King David Kalakaua ruled Hawaii from Iolani Palace. Questas came to Hawaii after being promised free rent, free water and $20 a month in plantation wages. He was a veteran of both world wars who lived alone in a plantation shack for a half century. In 1989, Questas moved to housing for the elderly in Lahaina, but left soon after because the other residents were ``too old.'' Mark Ballard, owner of Ballard Family Mortuary, said Questas was the oldest man in Hawaii at the time of his death. *Bobby Troup LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bobby Troup, a musician and actor who penned the popular song ``Route 66'' and played a neurosurgeon on the 1970s television drama ``Emergency,'' died Sunday. He was 80. Troup penned a little ditty in 1946 as he drove across the country to California, where he had dreams of making it big in music. He chose Route 66, as his song says: ``If you ever plan to motor West: Travel my way, the highway that's the best. Get your kicks on Route 66!'' Besides ``Route 66,'' Troup also wrote and performed ``Daddy,'' ``The Girl Can't Help It,'' ``Meaning of the Blues,'' ``Baby, All the Time,'' and ``Lemon Twist.'' He also wrote songs for Tommy Dorsey and played Dorsey in the movie, ``The Gene Krupa Story.'' He landed a role on the 1970s drama ``Emergency'' as Dr. Joe Early, a neurosurgeon who was often left in charge of younger patients. Troup also was host of ``Stars of Jazz'' in the late 1950s and had a minor role in the movie ``MASH.'' Among Troup's survivors his wife, actress and singer Julie London, who played Nurse Dixie on ``Emergency.'' http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B11870 http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=9:50:01|AM&p=avg&sql=B71863 # 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 J.

Spotted this myself at exactly the same place just last week and it is LONG overdue! These records are to classical music what Mrs. Miller is to pop vocal although in this case the off-key sound is very intentional and the work of such musical luminaries as Gavin Bryars & Brian Eno.

I would say none of his albums are killer all the way through, but when one of his pieces kills, it slaughters. "Alan Tew Plays The Music Of Tom Springfield Latin Style" (Contour) The "concept" of the album is a trifle touched, so that's a good sign, right? The highlight of this is the cracking version of the theme from "The Troubleshooters", taking at an ultra-fast tempo in a fuzz-guitar funky-cheese manner. "Georgy Girl" is also magnificent (both also to be found on a Phillips "Non-Stop Latin Party" album), and the rest of it ain't bad either. "The Magnificient Westerns" (Embassy) Western themes albums are usually pretty dreary IMHO, but this great. Tew's insane arrangement of "The Big Country" is a classic piece of musical perversion, weirdly shifting genres, sounds and moods compressed into just a few minutes; "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" is similar, matching Morricone's original for sheer coolness (you've got to love the few seconds of Glenn Miller style in the middle of it all, too). Lots of tracks, some not so hot, but in general a nice one. "The Fabulous Swingers" (CBS) I'm not sure if this is quite the right title. Anyway, this is laid back gently-swinging cheese-jazz: all classic big band covers, but with yer kind of 70s small orchestration. This is smoothie seduction music for an "On The Buses" film. The version of "Wild Apple Honey" is my favourite. "Carnival" (Pye 4AD) Pretty much like the Swingers album, but applied to Latin music instead. Versions of "Patricia", "Tico Tico" and all that stuff, and also contains his version of Zoo-Be-Zoo-Be (Sophia Loren's song on the Peter & Sophia album), a song which he co-wrote. "This Is My Scene" (Decca) A swinging 60s album: Tew lays his claim to groovy-scene status with versions of Spanish Flea, and I can't remember what else because it wasn't too good for me. Fabulous cover, though, and liner notes with some biographic info which I can't remember. "Plays The Music of ABBA" (CBS) "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" (CBS) "Rosie" (CBS) Late 70s shit sandwiches, as I remember, although I haven't spun them for so so so long. # 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: pmazz@cysource.com (Paul Mazzucca) Subject: (exotica) more of those confusing "suns" Date: 09 Feb 1999 10:50:33 -0500 i was out cruising for yet more lps yesterday, (i think i have the disease), i came across the 3 suns "SHINDIG" country music, mid 60's, it bordered on surreal, not good, just weird. i do have another odd one from them, "top artists, 3 suns" , montgomery wards 90th birthday celebration. half the album is corny singing, the other half is cool. the best part is its a red plastic lp. i would rate, Midnight for two, A- carrie # 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: Robbie Baldock Subject: Re: (exotica) Alan Tew Date: 09 Feb 1999 16:52:36 +0000 Peter Hipwell wrote: > "Alan Tew Plays The Music Of Tom Springfield Latin Style" (Contour) > > The "concept" of the album is a trifle touched, so that's a good sign, > right?

That's about what the record sounds like, with the super plink plank plonk and call and response of the typical Suns arrangements, when all the sudden this huge booming sound joins in, as if nothing is different or wrong, and yet... it just doesn't fit, like the 70 lb retriever that still thinks it's the a dog, or the grown-up retarded kid playing on the playground. twang twang twang plink plink plink zoop zoop zoop BWAHHHHHHHHHMM BWAHHHHHHHHHM BWAHHHHHHM It's funny. And definitely worth a few bucks. Plus, natch, Movin' and Groovin' and Fever and Smoke which are the holy diumverate (is that a word?) or at the very least, the Stereo-Dynamic Duo of Suns albums. Also, Ding Dong Dandy Christmas is excellent. Very Sunsy arrangements of Christmas carols, with tuba. (I got one for nineteen dollars and one for thirty three cents, just showing that you CAN find these things in good condition for little or no money!) I also have the "Greatest Hits" of the Three SUns, but haven't gotten a chance to hear it yet. I haven't even studied to see what's on it. I'm lame.

He was 80. Troup will forever be known as the writer of one of the classic American road songs, "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66." The blues-based number was composed in 1946 while he was heading west on that venerable roadway. Little did he realize at the time that it would become a signature song, the one number that -- despite his numerous other accomplishments -- would forever come to mind when his name is mentioned. In fact, Troup wrote many well-known songs, some well before his road song classic. Among the more familiar items are "Daddy" (his first hit, a No. 1 song for seven weeks for Sammy Kaye), "Baby, Baby All The Time" (a hit, along with "Route 66," for Nat King Cole), "The Meaning of the Blues" and the lyrics for "Girl Talk." Born Robert W. Troup Jr. on Oct. 18, 1918, he was immediately drawn to music through his piano playing father. And despite earning a business degree from the University of Pennsylvania, he soon turned to songwriting as a career. After serving in the Marine Corps as a captain during World War II, he headed to California, giving himself two years to make it in th= e music business -- helping his ambitions enormously by writing "Route 66" along the way. In a review of a television special dedicated to Troup's works, the late, influential jazz critic Leonard Feather wrote that his tunes "were variously sophisticated, witty, ingenious, trivial or just funny." They also were particularly well-favored by jazz artists and were recorded by, among others, Sarah Vaughan, Joe Williams, Peggy Lee and the Manhattan Transfer. Which was not surprising, given Troup's solid skills as a pianis= t and accompanist. Much of his time in the 1950s and '60s, was spent as an active participant in Los Angeles' then-burgeoning West Coast jazz scene ("I think I worked every club in Los Angeles," he once said). But his closest connection to jazz came in 1957, when Troup began a 2 1/2-year run hosting a KABC television series titled "Stars of Jazz," whic= h went national for a few months in 1958. One of the earliest and most successful airings of jazz on television, the show featured an extraordinary lineup of artists, including Stan Getz, Carmen McRae and Erroll Garner, as well as West Coast stars June Christy, Julie London (Troup's wife), Shorty Rogers, Bud Shank and Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars. "It was an exciting time," Troup told writer Stephen Stone. "We got starte= d in spite of a reluctant producer. . . . I made an appeal on the air for listeners to write in if they liked the program. Within three days we received 7,000 letters." Television and film fans of the 1970s, however, knew Troup from a completely different context. His film career included parts in "M*A*S*H," "The High Cost of Loving," "Number One" and "First to Fight." He also was cast in musical roles in "The Five Pennies," "The Gene Krupa Story" and "The Duchess of Idaho," and wrote scores for "The Girl Can't Help It" and "Man of the West." Troup appeared in the television shows "Dragnet," "Fantasy Island," "Acapulco" (for which he also wrote the music) and "Musical Chairs." From 1972 to 1977 he played the role of Dr. Early in the medical series "Emergency!" His wife, singer Julie London, also appeared in the show--which was produced by her first husband, actor Jack Webb--in the rol= e of Dixie. "I loved doing the show," Troup told Feather, "because I enjoy being active, and because of the camaraderie--we were known as the happiest crew at Universal." Despite the success of "Emergency!," the show largely marked the end of Troup's visibility as a songwriter and musician. In the intervening decades, he and London lived quietly in Encino, raising what they describe= d as a "his, mine and ours family" that included two children from Troup's first marriage (Cynnie and Ronne), two children from London's marriage to Webb (Stacy and Lisa) and three children from the Troup-London marriage (Kelly and the twins Reese and Jody), all of whom -- with the exception of Stacy, who died in an automobile accident -- survive him. Funeral services are pending.

That has undergone a most unwelcome transformation over the last 6-8 months, and now rarely plays anything pre-1980. They are reported to be trying to lose their cardigan image.

I've made similar rants for everyone from Dick Hyman to Mark Mothersbaugh. But they're all WORKING musicians and working musicians go where the work is. In some cases, I think you could make a better case for the idea that the funky moogy stuff was the anomaly and the "filler" was where they actually spent most of their time. Then again, the funky moogy stuff was also filler in most cases. We like this stuff; we're desperate for more of this stuff. We're elevating the funky moogy filler to somewhat greater status than perhaps it deserves. The line between (real) groovy rock music and what I used to see as fake/phoney rock when I was a kid is getting fuzzier and fuzzier, the more I get into this stuff. But I think it's still there. And something tells me that if these guys hadn't spent most of their time making the kind of muzak I don't like, I wouldn't enjoy it so much when they made the kind of muzak I do.

Joey Bishop has been MIA for a long time so it's not a matter of where he has gotten "today" but I'm not sure why anyone would assume that Sinatra's friendship was such a career-making /make-or-break kind of thing. I thought the total exclusion of Bishop from the A&E piece was kind of suspicious but I assumed it was because he didn't do all that much compared to the others. When I was a kid, he was a star to me. He had that Joey Bishop talk show - with Regis Philbin as his sidekick - and all the talk show hosts were "big" as far as I was concerned, especially the ones on at night. Maybe Bishop owed his "stardom" - such as it was - to Frank but the same thing certainly can't be said for Dino. In the end, I think they all benefitted from each other. The Rat Pack made all of them appear cooler, including Frank.

These days there are more and more "official" used record stores that carry easy listening type records - and some at a reasonable price - so you can pursue this habit without going to thrift stores. But even a few years ago when I began this pursuit, that was much less true. You went to thrift stores because they were the only place you could find the stuff. And for some records, I think it's still true. Just as there's a kind of record that you're surprised to find at a thrift store - even if it's happened dozens of times before - there's a kind of record that I'm surprised to find at a record store. It's hard to describe the difference and I know it's partly regional too. When I was in Memphis a couple of years ago, I found Three Suns records in the coolest used record stores but no matter what they were, they were in the ten buck range. In Toronto I don't think I've ever seen a Three Suns record in a record store. The ones I find are all at the Goodwill. I've made so-called "scores" at the Goodwill but I go there for the records I won't find anywhere else and for the opportunity to check out things I probably would pass up if they were more than fifty cents.

In a big way, this very versatility WAS the measure of good in this area of music industry activity... the truly professional artist was able to simulate various styles of musical decoration, or emply semiotexts of many types, and it is THIS very accuracy which makes their music so appealing now. This appreciation we have is all out of context, at the time almost everyone "really" trying to do something interesting in music found this "background work" irksome to do, and the fact that it was seemingly well paid just made it worse... just try and discuss someone like Quincy Jones or (gasp) Henry Mancini with any full time working jazz musician... especially those old enough to have been contemporaries of the above... it's like discussing Keroac with a "real" beatnik (I know from experience as I used to work for the Mingus Dynasty) I am not saying that I endorse this view, (I like to do some designer work myself... surely love to listen to Hank)... just trying to put this into a hermeneutic frameset, and this was easiest by using the contrasting image... cheers peter # 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: peterp@inch.com (Peter Principle) Subject: Re: (exotica) F & T Date: 09 Feb 1999 21:00:40 -0500 >>There is at least one other F & T prepared piano LP that I don't recall >>anyone >>mentioning: Soundproof (Westminster WST 15011).

(mine is mono... is there a stereo version in this cover with a different matrix number does anyone know?) would love to know why this is or how it happened... notice that the matrix numbers are anagramicly related so I always wondered if when Westminster decided to do a run of stereo discs if they didn't pull the "wrong" master 041 for 014, but this wouldn't explain the changed type setting for the titles on the back... any takers? also there are many great F&T bits scattered about on those later discs as well... one of the favorites that comes to mind is the Mod Turk on In the Heat of the Night also Sirocco on Many Splendored (I think) and Quiet Village on Dynamic Twin Pianos...

Rhino Records celebrates the history of this Grammy-winning conga player on April 20, with the 2-CD anthology SKIN ON SKIN: THE MONGO SANTAMARIA ANTHOLOGY (1958-1995), Consisting of 34 tracks on two CDs, SKIN ON SKIN spans nearly 40 years of Mongo's recorded career. Among the many highlights are the first-ever release of "Panamanian Aire," along with the digital debut of some his early '70s Atlantic recordings. The compilation will sell for a suggested list price of $29.98 and will also be available via the Rhino Web sit at . Included on the anthology are such signature songs as "Afro Blue," "Watermelon Man," "Para Ti," "Yambu," and "Canta Bajo," taken from more than 20 albums such as Mongo's Way, Our Man In Havana, Bembe, and Mongo Introduces La Lupe. Also featured in this definitive collection are tracks from Mongo Explodes, Up From The Roots, and other classics albums from Mongo's Riverside and Columbia releases as well as a previously unreleased version of "Sofrito." The liner notes for SKIN ON SKIN include a remembrance by actor/ conguero Andy Garcia, who was hooked on Mongo at the age of 12, when he heard the great percussionist gigging at the jazz club Johnnie's in Miami beach. Also contributing to the notes are Poncho Sanchez (one of the world's most popular Latin jazz bandleaders), Luis Tamargo (contributing editor to Latin Beat magazine), and Jose Rizo (the host of the nationally syndicated show Jazz On The Latin Side). Ramon "Mongo" Santamaria was born in 1922 in Havana, Cuba. Before Fidel Castro came to power, he headed for New York, where he met up with such greats as the King of Mambo, Perez Prado, El Rey de Timbal, Tito Puente, West Coast vibraphonist Cal Tjader, and a young Willie Bobo. As Mongo enters his fourth decade as a recording artist, his place in that pantheon remains secure. # 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: "Bryan J.

The day and cause of death was not available.=20 Boone, who took up the trombone at age 12, moved to Los Angeles in 1956 where he played with Gordon, Sonny Criss, and Teddy Edwards among others.=20 In the late 1960s, Boone joined Basie's band. He moved to Copenhagen in 1970. From 1973 through 1985, he played with the Danish Radio Big Band, considered one of the world's best. Last year, he issued the album ``Tribute to Love,'' backed by Danish musicians.=20 http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=3Damg&sql=3DB58077 H=E9ctor Alejandro Galindo, Mexican Film Director, 93 By JULIA PRESTON (NYTimes) MEXICO CITY -- H=E9ctor Alejandro Galindo Amezcua, a prolific film director who created his own genre of movies set in Mexico's urban underworld, died on Monday. He was 93.=20 Galindo, who was known in the Mexican film world as Don Alex, directed or wrote scripts for more than 70 films, virtually all of them made in Mexico. He was one of the directors, along with Emilio Fern=E1ndez, who pioneered a booming film industry in Mexico in the 1940's and 50's based on movies that portrayed the travails and heartbreak of workaday Mexicans.=20 Galindo was the first Mexican director to place his films in the streets, bars and factories of tightly knit but tumultuous urban barrios, especially in Mexico City. His characters were down-and-out boxers, working-stiff fathers, bus drivers, accountants, prostitutes and small-time gangsters.=20 As both scriptwriter and director, he captured the distinctive broad-toned jargon of a new urban proletariat. Mexicans in the rapidly growing cities loved to hear their voices echoed in Galindo's films and flocked loyally to them for over 30 years.=20 "I won't pretend that I dedicated any deep study to it," Galindo said in a recent interview with La Jornada, the Mexico City daily. "It was a matter of watching, observing carefully, opening my ears and letting the words stick to them."=20 "I always made movies about what I knew and saw, nothing else," Galindo= said.=20 Perhaps his most famous film was the 1945 "Campe=F3n sin Corona," or= "Champion Without a Crown," the melancholy story of a street kid who rises in the boxing ring only to be defeated by a corrupt Mafia controlling the sport. The boxer was played by David Silva, a short, stocky actor on whom Galindo frequently relied to portray his perpetually failing heroes.=20 In 1948 Galindo directed "Una Familia de Tantas" ("One Family of Many"), a portrait of an urban family troubled by poverty and feuds between generations. In 1953 he made "Espaldas Mojadas" ("Wetbacks"), an early critique of the exploitation of illegal Mexican workers in the southwestern United States.=20 Galindo was born in Monterrey, Mexico, in 1906. His sensitivity to urban surroundings came after he was uprooted as a teen-ager and moved with his mother to Mexico City.=20 He became poisoned, as he put it, by the cinema when he was still an adolescent. To learn the trade he entered the United States illegally and became an office boy in Hollywood. In the 1920's he worked with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures, first writing scripts for silent films and later dubbing their talking films into Spanish. The crash of 1929 forced him to take his knowledge back to Mexico.=20 Galindo won at least eight Ariels, Mexico's equivalent of the Oscar, and in recent years he was honored with several national homages in Mexico. But he never received the National Prize for the Arts, the country's highest honor. As a result, no wake was held this week for Galindo in the Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico's most important theater. Galindo's family protested the theater's decision.=20 He is survived by his wife, Mariela Flores, and four children, Valentina, Alejandro, Rosa and Lourdes.=20 http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=3D10:29:24|AM&p=3Davg&sql=3DB90888 # 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: (exotica) Yma Miller Date: 10 Feb 1999 10:54:25 -0500 >Anyone else think that in her lower registers, Yma Sumac sounds like Mrs. >Miller? >I'm not totally familiar with either singer, but they have a similar >quasi-operatic quaver on some of the lower stuff.

The problem with the CDDB data is that it is all user entered. When I found the track listing for "Promo 3", the artists names were not listed, and it was categorized as "Blues". CDDB allows updates though, so I edited the track listing to add the names, and resubmitted, with the genre as "misc" (it was the best alternative). It took my changes even though I had not entered the original information. If you can know the CD that the info was entered from, you can update the information yourself (including the title, I believe). I sent an email to the CDDB developers about allowing information from vinyl records to be entered. This would enable the creation of an online artist/album/song database that could be updated by anyone with the proper software. How useful would this be? Comments?

I noticed even then that most (all?) the shows seemed to involve a hero who was just walking along one day then POW! life changes because of some magical event that causes them to "Fall" (usually literally) into a new and strange world inhabited by evil puppets. The opening sequence invariably recounted that fateful day when it all went wrong, so the songs are REALLY weird. Just your kind of stuff, Johan. The "Lidsville" title sequence gave me nighmares.

Hmph! Where is the abduction fantasy in that? Ho-hum :^) >not sure if they were reasponsible for Shazaam and Isis, they seemed a bit >too NORMAL for them. No. Shazam and Isis were filmed and the majority of Krofft's stuff was on videotape, which even further magnifies the...frugality of the shows. Filmation, perhaps the only animation/live action studio started by a former DJ (Norm Prescott) was responsible for those, I think. >probably plenty of other shows i have never heard of but in retrospect my >current favorite is the Bugaloos, This show was interesting to me because I had never seen someone of my color speak with an accent that sounded English to me at the time.

And yes, this connection is tenuous and wierd and probably wouldn't hold up to any close examination, so please bear with me. I don't know the age of the folks who were reminiscing about the Krofft television shows but speaking for myself (b.1963) I've always felt that I fell inbetween the Boomers and the X-generation. I think that the peak of my childhood awareness of the world coincided with the peak of the Krofft's tv programming. So yes, I'm of the Krofft generation. I think that an interest in exotica was nurtured by the wierdness of these shows. Both exotica and Krofft elicit the "what were they thinking" response. A response I seem to have an almost Pavlovian reaction to! When you come to expect this as the norm and everything else seems to be far less interesting. Since this is just some half-baked ramble, maybe I should quit now. Apologies to those of you who are not 34-39 and grew up with out the *benifit* of Krofft TV.

This one is called "The Soul of the City" and it sounds like some vaguely "crime jazz" soundtrack for a film that was never made. I'd basically dismissed Manny in the past but I took a chance that the reference to "The City" might be a good sign. Maybe it's just a self-fulfilling prophecy. But it's a lot more interesting than the other record - also on Solid State - that I still own for some reason, "Brass on Fire". So, is this some already established "officially cool record"? If you've dismissed Manny like I have, maybe you should check out this record anyway if you see it.

I haven't really been following this thread, so forgive me if this has been covered. But Capitol did, in fact, release a promo with 4 tracks from each of the first 6 ULs (the one titled "Promo 1" here). I had a copy (that I got from a radio station where I worked), but then gave it away. It was just a white cardboard sleeve with a green UL logo on the cover. And if I'm not mistaken, the track listing for this CD was the same as the very first "Leopard" sampler, that is, 4 songs each from vols. 1-6. Subsequent copies of the Leopard had 2 songs each from vols. 1-12 (the version that exists now, and which was created, I believe, after the CD won a Grammy for packaging--and after, of course, vols. 7-12 were released). "Promo 2" here appears to be 4 tracks each from vols. 7-12, and was, I imagine, also released to record stores and radio stations. "Promo 3," also included with the MusicHound book, appears to follow suit, featuring 4 tracks each from vols. 13-18. It's very methodical, really--almost numbingly so. Or is this not what you were asking?

"Promo 2" here appears to be 4 tracks each from vols. 7-12, and was, I imagine, also released to record stores and radio stations.>> I can confirm this. While our radio station's music director claimed the Leopard Skin sampler for himself, the Program Director (me) got the individual CDs, Promo 1 and Promo 2 in their little cardboard sleeves. The first one was in a white sleeve and the CD "top" was black with a olive shape/color offsetting the hole. The second one was in a black sleeve and the CD "top" was white with the olive. Both CDs had, in small print across the "top" these words: "Welcome to the Ultra-Lounge." The front cover had the ultra lounge logo and the back had the track listings with a small version of the logo. Unfortunately, because of the textured white paper they used in Promo 1, the track listings were difficult to read. Promo 2 was less artsy, but at least you could read everything that was printed. I still have the cardboard sleeves somewhere, but decided to stick the CDs in a slim 2-CD case and photocopy the covers...and that is what I use quite a bit. Wish Capitol at least went on to another sampler past the one one it issued for 13+...that way I could put it and the Music Hound CD together. I have often thought it funny, though, that Capitol would issue samplers of samplers...which is really what the Ultra Lounge series is and not a product in of itself. I know some may disagree with me, however I had always hoped the cool packaging would help interest people in clamoring for the originals on CD and would create a market that Capitol would respond to. I do believe the clamoring began, but it may not have been large enough to get Capitol to really act upon it. I suppose once Capitol officially calls an end to the series (as it appears has happened), it will issue a Sampler of the Samplers to the series of samplers.

He was 75. Dayton was an award-winning director of TV commercials featuring celebrities, most notably Buddy Hackett's spots for Lay's potato chips. Dayton served in World War II before beginning his entertainment career on Broadway. His credits included ``A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'' and ``High Button Shoes.'' He soon turned to motion pictures, including ``Love at First Bite'' with George Hamilton in 1979, ``The Sting II'' with Jackie Gleason in 1982 and ``Ed Wood'' with Johnny Depp in 1994. His other TV credits included ``Dallas,'' ``MASH,'' ``Caroline in the City,'' ``Mad About You'' and ``The Nanny.'' http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=10:24:04|AM&p=avg&sql=B17566 February 12, 1999 NYTimes Danny Dayton, Actor and Director, Dies at 75 Danny Dayton, an actor and director, died on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

One of the discs in this new 2-CD set consists entirely of excerpts from those Friars Club "roast" records, which are amusing in spots, but were scripted affairs intended to be "outrageous," and therefore lack the fire of the impromptu freakouts by Orson Welles, Jack Palance, et al. This set also includes a prank phone call attributed to Sammy Petrillo, which is in reality a guy named Harold Flender (a TV and screen writer). It's taken from an LP of phone calls by Flender that's pretty funny in its own right, but again doesn't quite fit in with the concept "celebrities at their worst." Still, for those interested in the sludge behind Hollywood's plastic facade, it's worthwhile. I got mine from Aquarius Records in San Francisco (http://aquarius.bianca.com), and they're charging $15.98 plus shipping, which isn't bad for a two-disc set. ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! -- [This message was sent using an evaluation copy of IMail Server for Windows NT, a product of Ipswitch, Inc.] # 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: (exotica) Krofft Date: 12 Feb 1999 12:15:10 -0500 >>The "Lidsville" title sequence gave me nighmares.<< Not to be confused with Nitty-Gritty Ville....* The questions remain, who is from Nitty Gritty Ville, the Dirt Band or Shirley Ellis?

I'm not a DJ and my Vegas act is still not perfected. But if I had a use for a theme song I think I've found it. On a K-tel Sammy Davis Jr. record. How did I ignore Sammy all this time? The first clue to the sublime nature of Sammy was a record called "Song and Dance Man" on which he does all these TV theme songs, including not only Baretta, Chico and the Man (an obvious choice for Sammy) and "We'll make it this time", the Kojak theme, but also does the only version of the theme for Hawaii Five Oh that I've ever heard with lyrics. It's called "You can count on me". If you sing the tune to yourself, it's pretty easy to figure out how the lyrics fit in. The next Sammy clues were the two songs he sings on the Salt and Pepper soundtrack, especially the rockin "I like the way you dance". But this Ktel record is a treasure trove. There's "Spinning Wheel" and "You've made me so very happy" in which Sammy made a very good case for replacing David Clayton Thomas in B,S and Tears. And then there's my new theme song. "I'm over 25 but you can trust me". Once upon a time, I heard the song of the flowers too, kids. I once fought for the same things you're fighting for. And if here or there, I copped out if it was only because I knew that you would pick up the fight for me. Right arm!

Not only does NOW contain a large foldout poster of Sammy but it also contains the undeniably classic "I am over 25 but you an trust me" as well as the theme from Shaft and MacArthur Park. With songs like that, how bad could it possibly be? (you also might want to keep an eye open for Sammy's stirring "Dont Blame It on the Children").

I'll tell you what happened and then please post your comments or advice. I've been an Ebay user since mid- January and have bought 3 or 4 items without any problems. Since both the buyer and the seller has a reputation to protect (a reputation as in comments that can be left about one's self in the form of "feedback") I always promptly email the sellers. So far everything has gone great. Early this week, Monday Feb. 8th, I won a bid for a $5 map. I emailed the seller that night. I did not get any response by Wednesday and I thought, Okay, well maybe he has been out of town, or didn't see or get my message, so I email a 2nd message. I finally hear back from him on Thursday evening with an apology that his computer system had gone down. However in his message he says he expects feedback. It is not clear if he means he will mail the item when I leave the feedback, or if he means he's going to leave feedback about me, then email me about it. This feedback thing is really ridiculous because the buyer feels coerced into leaving positive feedback in order to get the item. I was so pissed about it, but on the otherhand, I wanted the map with no further hassle, so I got on the computer and left some "positive" bullsh**t feedback for him (to ad to his lengthy collection). Here's his message: <> So you tell me what is the buyer to do? If one ever leaves negative feedback one risks having the same done out of spite by the other party. One really can't be honest and since I've had this experience I can only suppose there are others out there who want a "hassle-free" transaction and who also feel compelled then to post B.S. feedback for the sellers just so they can get their item. Therefore one should look upon all the feedback as suspect and possibly insincere comments by people like myself. - Michele # 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: Matt Hinrichs Subject: (exotica) File under: "shameless self-promotion" Date: 12 Feb 1999 23:00:51 -0700 Please visit my new music webpage, In My Room - http://www.psn.net/~blue/room.html It's groovy. - Matt # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mighty65@pacbell.net Subject: Re: (exotica) Ultra Lounge Promo 1 and 2?

The good thing is: The fusion aspect goes beyond playing rock evergreens with the sitar; on the B-side of the album it's vice versa: Indian music with overdubbed rock-sounds.

This feedback thing is really ridiculous because the buyer feels > coerced into leaving positive feedback in order to get the item. i've never personally run into a situation like this, and it really doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever- feedback can only logically be left by either person once their part of the deal is done. here's the way i work it: if i'm the seller, i post feedback upon receiving payment. hopefully that is enough to encourage the buyer to post feedback to me once they've received their item and are satisfied with it. if i'm the buyer, however, i will only post feedback if the seller has already posted feedback for me (unless they tell me that they only want to do feedback once the transaction is totally completed). remember- the seller always has the first opportunity to post feedback (if you do it correctly- ie, there's no logical way to post feedback at all until either part of the transaction has completed or there is some kind of conflict which prevents the transfer from being completed). posting feedback just because an auction has closed is totally ludicrous!! at that point you know nothing about how the transaction will actually turn out, thus how can you have any opinion at all? if someone is actually coercing you to do this in specific terms, i suggest you verify with them that that is actually what they mean, and then post negative feedback and forget about the item. 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: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: Forever Lounge, Forever +ACEAIQAhACEAIQAhACEAIQAh-90+ACU+ACQ-5 Date: 13 Feb 1999 16:53:42 +0100 At 07:03 -0700 99/02/12, "Jeff Chenault" wrote: >Almost EVERY single photograph of an album is out of focus.

I noticed that the message was written using a Microsoft e-mail application, and I've been reading recently about MS using non-standard, proprietary character codes in their software. Which fail to render correctly in anyone else's software. That wacky Microsoft! I guess this would be a good moment to mention that when participating in mailing lists, it's always a good idea to be sure that your mail program is set to "plain text" -- no fancy stuff that'll just make trouble. And only use characters that you can type directly. Characters accessed with control or alt combinations may not render for someone out there.

Please don't take this as expert advice (far from it), but I'll throw in a few words. Wood shells are generally preferable to plastic or fiberglass, although with *congas* fiberglass does seem to have its good points as far as roadability and cutting tone. But it seems less used with bongos. Wood is richer sounding (and looks nicer). Metal rims with tuning lugs are preferable to tacked-on heads. For one, you can tune 'em. Secondly, head replacement is a bit less daunting. Brandwise, Latin Percussion, Matador (LP's mid-price line) and Cosmic Percussion (LP's budget line) are safe brands. Toca and Gon Bop are also solid brands. As far as prices, this is just my experience, there may be better deals out there. Anyway, if buying *new* expect $60 to $70 for good entry level bongos. Less than that and it's likely to be toy-grade stuff. For full-size bongos (7-inch "macho" and 8 to 9-inch "hembra") expect to slide up over $100. And the sky's the limit from there. Of course, buying used would save you money. I haven't shopped congas, but you probably have to go over $200 for a new pair with stand. Same brands would be good bets. Some links: Latin Percussion: http://www.lpmusic.com/ Geared toward selling their wares of course, but contains a nice helping of general information. Check the online magazine section for articles.

Ouch...it really hurts to hear that sellers can be such pushy assholes on eBay! I've been selling (and buying) on eBay for almost a year, and I've never run into that kind of situation. Here's what I would do if it was me who had received that email: Email the seller back with a short comment about waiting to inspect the item before leaving feedback, since that is what the system is set up for. Then, should shipping/item condition, etc. hold up to expectations/descriptions, positive feedback will be left. Simple as that! If the seller refuses to deal with you unless some bogus feedback is left first, don't send any money to the schmo and send eBay a complaint about his selling tactics, and be specific. They may be able to remedy the situation with the seller. DON'T fly onto the negative feedback thing until all avenues have been explored, lest you look the hothead. That kind of crappy practice on the seller's part really tarnishes what is usually a great resource. You know, upon reading the first excerpt above, it struck me that they meant that they would email you 3 times: 1) on receipt of payment, 2) when item is shipped and 3) when feedback is left...let's hope that's what they meant, and all will be hunky-dunky.

That's all you got." So says one of the cool British chicks ("birds"?) in this flick I only caught bits and pieces of, the other night. It was supposedly called "Naked Youth" and was made in 1959. I recognized Adam Faith as the guy with a guitar and if that was him singing, that's the best I've ever heard him. I also recognized an impossibly young Oliver Reed dancing down in the rock cavern and I think Christopher Lee owned the strip club. The music was a lot more "authentic" than most American "rebellious youth movies" of the same period And there was a neat underlying theme tying in underground rock caverns with underground bomb shelters. Anyone know anything about this movie? I couldn't pay complete attention to it but what I saw, I liked. "If you want to fight, join the army. That's the place for squares".

I hope this comes out better this time. Hi Gang, Well the glut of misinformation is starting to hit the masses via the new book Forever Lounge. It is quoted as being the Laid Back Price Guide to the Languid Sounds of Lounge Music. Here are my first observations........... Almost EVERY single photograph of an album is out of focus. They are 90% blurry. This is totally unacceptable since most of these records are collected for the cover alone. They didn't even include classic album covers just plain mediocre ones that most people don't even care about. PRICES Here's the BIG joke. Most of the albums in this book are priced $5-3. $5 for NM and $3 for VG+ that's for stereo. If you have the mono copy deduct 75%. So if you had a Mint copy of Dick Scory's Music for Bang Baroom and Harp which is worth $5 in mint condition (stereo) a mint mono is worth about $1.25!!! Yeah Right. Other pricing is just as ridiculous....Mundell Lowe's Satan In High Heels album mint in stereo $5. All Bob Thompson albums $3-5 Three pages of The Three Suns records ALL $3-5 except for the Fever and Smoke album $25. Then there is mispricing twice........Harry Revel's album Music Out of The Moon (Capitol 1947) listed at $20-12 while the same album listed under Les Baxter was priced at $40-24. H-E-L-L-Ooooo! Biggest shocker was that ALL Leo Diamond albums were listed for $5-3. Hey if anyone here on this list has Skin Diver Suite in mint condition for five dollars I will take 20 copies!!!! Henri Rene's classic album Music for Bachelors same thing $5-3 with absolutely no mention of the Jayne Mansfield cover!!!!!!!!! Here's a good one..... Jean Jacques Perrey album The Happy Moog listed for $50-30. Not too bad until you look under Harry Breuer where the same album number and all is listed for $5-3. Also they list the Switched on Santa album on Pickwick as Jean Jacques Perrey going under the name Sy Mann. I guess all the other Sy Mann albums I have are really Jean Jacques Perrey too huh? This is just plain idiocy. These people have no clue what the market is and definitely did not do any researching on pricing or proofreading this thing with any accuracy. A few items came close to the mark but at least 75% is waaaaaay off. Other things that didn't make sense. They have a picture of Hair Goes Latin next to the Edmundo Ros section. Looks good but the album is not even listed. Oh, by the way ALL Marty Gold albums in mint condition are only $5. They forgot to mention he had a Moog album though. Ferrante and Teicher's Soundproof is listed at $75 but they didn't include Soundblast. DUH!! Maybe they thought it was the same album. More of the Bigger names like Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman are priced a little more accurate but not by much. I wouldn't say that the Kaliedoscope album by Les Baxter is worth the same as the Passions box $35 would you? I have found so many mistakes in pricing and overall misinformation that I had to view my disgust on this mailing list. Feel free to add any comments. The only reason I bought this thing was to brush up on my discographys. But even this falls flat. This is a total waste of time, money and effort and does nothing to enhance the beauty of this genre we call Lounge. Whew!

I, for one, would like a definitive discography which says which of the Martin Denny albums have no Denny involvement. My general approach is to read the liner notes--if Denny is involved, the notes say so. If not involved, no mention is made of the musicians or at least Denny is not mentioned. HOWEVER, if I don't have the album, I can only guess by the title. For instance, the album "Martin Denny plays Mondo Cane" *SOUNDS* like a "ghosted" effort, but I can't be sure until I get more info. I bid on it in a recent auction at minimum as it does not appear to not be very popular and probably isn't very good (and I suspect sounds very little like Martin Denny).

I seem to recall an interview with Denny in which he said he supervised the preparation of the "Exotic Moog" album but did not otherwise perform. I think it was in Cool and Strange Music Magazine, though I can't lay my hands on the issue at the moment. Some have speculated that it's Bob Florence ghosting for Denny on the later Liberty albums. Florence arranged numerous albums on the Liberty label at the time (including the famous "Exotica Suite" and Martin Denny's "Latin Village") and was featured with his big band on "Here and Now" (Liberty LST-7380).

Although Martin Denny did arrange it, he let someone who was more experienced on the moog do the actual playing. As a personal aside, his record has indeed a far greater status among collectors than it should. I guess because it was an early moog record which due to it not doing all that well originally it is somewhat scarce. But it is its scarity rather than its content that have made it a "prize."

And it really is during thatis period that the quality of these albums suffers, especially in the arranging, due to the ghosted nature. Martin Denny feels very uneasy about these albums as many were released without his control by Liberty who demanded that several albums be released a year while still requiring that Denny tour incessantly. As you can't be in two places at once, hence the ghosting occurs. The real exotica arrangements and the primo Denny material are really within his first 14 albums. That's where you'll hear superb exotic arrangements with his seminal original band. After that (the very early '60s) it only reappears occaissonally on odd album tracks.

I think he was a guitarist. He did one album for Command that I know of (Offbeat Percussion, RS842SD). I think he often worked with Al Caiola, trading lead roles or working together on album projects, but I have little to go on. I discovered a cut from the album on Vol. 10 of Command's sampler albums (the Ultra Percussion series...no just kidding) and found his take on percussion refreshingly different than the rest (offbeat, in other words). It was the only cut on side 1 of that record I could listen to. SOMEONE left part of the record exposed to a paint spraying operation. It apparently was under a stack of other records which were similarly exposed, leaving a large crescent of sprayed paint covering the first five tracks of side 1. Never ceases to amaze me the abuse some people give their records. I have many records which have touches of what appears to be fingernail polish (which I don't think can be excised without damaging the vinyl) and even more with various food particles attached (luckilly removeable).

I have the Off Beat Percussion LP but haven't listened to it in a while. Here are some extracts from the liner notes: "Lamond's musical foundation was established when he studied at the famous Peabody Institute in Baltimore. ... he began a decade of gruelling but priceless polishing of his talents with some of the major bands of the 40s - first with Sonny Dunham's orchestra and then with Boyd Raeburn's forward-looking experimental band and finally as a member of Woody Herman's fabulous bands between 1945 and 1949." The arrangements are credited to Lew Davies but the notes say Don "developed" them with Lew. Most of Don's playing on the album is with brushes. All the usual Command alumni are backing him up.

I *really* dig that bossa nova track, myself. I think I've mentioned this before, but my introduction to that album was via an 8-track scored in Nebraska. The 8-track bleeds a little bit, and the songs blend in and out of one another like pastels, for a very psychedelic effect. I think I like the 8-track better than the album itself. -- Kerry Keane # 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: "Kevin C."

Hello Byron, That's a real cool concept. It might have been sort of a grab-bag. It was five different Command albums but you never knew what five. You're right about there being nothing on the LPs to suggest that they had any connection to the box. Who was/is Olympic? Since you mentioned Hyman. I just got a 1977 Reader's Digest box called Organ Magic ( I believe there was also a J. W. Holmes film around that time by the same name) Anyway, I don't have a working turntable at the moment and there's a song on it by Hyman that I'm not familiar with called "Alfred, the King of Disco". Where is the song from and any guess what Hyman does to it? Roy G.

It was definitely issued in the US and UK, but I don't know about other albums, although I've heard that they were Indian-only releases. Ananda Shankar is definitely NOT the son of Ravi Shankar. How do I know? I also have a six-track 12" 45rpm EP from the mid 70s called "Missing You". The music is meant to be evocative of Shankar's (then) recently deceased father, who was a famous classical Indian dancer (I can't remember his name). This isn't "rocking" music, but instead is gentle and lyrical. And again it's bloody great. Unique, imaginative arrangements: vibey jazz crossed with ragas with a smear of electronics: a superlatively good, moving easy listening experience, which also gets a definite 5-star rating. This is on EMI India and I assume it was an Indian-only release. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Ananda Shankar, "Ananda Shankar Date: 15 Feb 1999 15:33:18 +0000 Anandar and Ravi are cousins # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Doctor Ammondt Date: 15 Feb 1999 10:52:16 -0600 At 09:51 PM 2/14/99 +0100, Arjan wrote: > >Any recent news on our Finnish latin professor? Met up with a Finnish friend >in Amsterdam last week and he told me the good doctor was planning to record >in the Sumerian language for a change... > > >Arjan HELSINKI, Finland (AP) -- Elvis lives -- even in the long-dead language of Sumerian. A Finnish professor who has recorded two albums of Elvis Presley songs translated into Latin now plans to record some of them in Sumerian, a language that died out about 4,000 years ago. Jukka Ammondt said Friday that the first track he plans to record is ``Blue Suede Shoes.'' In that Sumerians had neither suede nor shoes, per se, the title translates into ``Esir Kus Za-gin,'' literally ``sandals of leather of the color of a blue gem.'' Unlike many rockers who don't care if their singing is comprehensible, Ammondt is concerned about enunciation. ``I'm not sure about my Sumerian, but they say Finnish is well-suited to pronouncing Sumerian because it's such a phonetic language,'' said Ammondt, a literature professor at the University of Jyvaskyla, 160 miles north of Helsinki. Not that there will be anyone around to criticize if he mispronounces a few words. Sumerian, used in the lower Euphrates River valley in what is now Iraq, died out as a spoken language in about 2000 BC. Ammondt's recordings have novelty value, but also reflect the wide interest in languages in Finland, where almost everyone is at least trilingual. National radio even has regular programming in Latin. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Kline, Bloede, Watson, Jaki Byard, Doug Weston obits Date: 15 Feb 1999 10:52:13 -0600 *Herbert Kline LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Herbert Kline, a documentary filmmaker who sneaked into Eastern Europe to film the Nazi conquest and later told the story of the Holocaust, died Feb. 5. He was 89. Kline wandered as a youth and wound up in Europe during the turbulent 1930s. During the Spanish Civil War, he teamed up with Hungarian photographer Geza Karpathi to make the 1936 film ``Heart of Spain,'' about a Madrid mother who meets the young soldier she saved with a blood donation. In 1938 he made ``Crisis,'' about the German conquest of Czechoslovakia. It recently was re-released in Europe. To film ``Crisis,'' Kline, who was Jewish, bluffed his way into Czechoslovakia by pretending to be pro-Nazi. He filmed rallies and parades. Nazi storm troopers carried his equipment and follow his directions before the camera. Kline's 1940 film ``Lights Out in Europe'' documented Hitler's invasion of Poland. He also worked with famed author John Steinbeck on a 1941 film about peasant life in Mexico called ``The Forgotten Village.'' After the war, Kline made ``My Father's House,'' a 1947 account of Holocaust victims. He didn't make another film until 1971's Oscar-nominated ``Walls of Fire,'' about Mexican artists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. He made two other documentaries after that: ``The Challenge of Modern Art'' in 1978, narrated by Orson Welles, and ``Acting ... Lee Strasberg'' in 1979. http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=10:16:25|AM&p=avg&sql=B97625 *Victor G. Bloede BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Victor G. Bloede, a former advertising executive whose love for words helped create memorable campaigns for Maxwell House coffee, Conoco Oil and Crest toothpaste, died Wednesday. He was 79. Bloede served as chairman and chief executive of Benton & Bowles Advertising, a large international agency he rebuilt during his 33 years with the company. He joined the ad agency in 1950 as a copywriter, worked his way up to vice president five years later and became president and chief executive by 1968. Three years later he became chairman, a position he held until he retired in 1983. He helped introduce the Maxwell House slogan: ``Good to the last drop'' and the Conoco Oil slogan: ``The hottest brand going.'' He helped Proctor & Gamble with its ``Please don't squeeze the Charmin'' slogan for its toilet tissue and was instrumental in helping the company establish Crest as a leading toothpaste. Benton & Bowles later merged with D'Arcy, Masius to become D'Arcy, Masius, Benton & Bowles. *Irwin C. Watson ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Irwin C. ``Watty'' Watson, a comedian and musician who appeared in nightclubs and on television, stage and cruise ships, died Feb. 1 of a heart attack. He was 70. Watson played at nightclubs around New York City and hotels in the Catskill Mountains. Besides the saxophone, Watson also played trumpet, violin, piano and clarinet. During the 1950s and 60s, he frequently appeared on television and on the stage. He was a comedy star on ``That was the week that was'' with David Frost; a regular on the ``Tonight Show'' with Johnny Carson, and he appeared with Ed Sullivan, Steve Allen, Virginia Graham, Mike Douglas and on other shows. At various times, was the opening act for Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, Jack Jones, Paul Anka, Patti LaBelle, the Fifth Dimension, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Aretha Franklin. The last 15 years he entertained on cruise liners traveling the world. *Jaki Byard NEW YORK (AP) -- Jaki Byard, a pianist, saxophonist and music teacher who recorded with modern-jazz artists Charles Mingus and Rahasaan Roland Kirk, was found shot dead at his Queens home on Thursday. He was 76. Police were investigating the shooting, which went unheard by Byard's family members, said one of his two daughters, Denise Byard-Mitchell. Byard's playing spanned the history of jazz. His improvisations included boogie-woogie and free jazz with zippy stylistic changes. Byard taught for several decades and was instrumental in the re-evaluation of jazz history that began in the late 1970s. Early in his career he was a big player in the Boston jazz scene. In the early 1960s, Byard began recording with Mingus. He played on the classic albums ``Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus'' and ``The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.'' When Duke Ellington became sick just before he died, Byard played piano in the Ellington Orchestra. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B61423 http://elvispelvis.com/jakibyard.htm *Doug Weston WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- Doug Weston, founder of the nightclub Troubadour that showcased such folk, rock and comedy acts as Joan Baez, Elton John and Lenny Bruce, died Sunday after a short battle with pneumonia. He was 72 and had been hospitalized with pneumonia since Feb. 7. Weston prided himself in the acts and audiences he attracted for more than four decades, from singer Linda Ronstadt to comedians such as the Smothers Brothers and Cheech & Chong. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Troubadour was considered the most consistently important showcase of contemporary folk and folk-rock talent in the country. Appearances there could guarantee major record sales for new and emerging artists. Over the years, the club's acts were consistently impressive: the Byrds, Judy Collins, Bill Cosby, the Committee, Bo Diddley, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Gordon Lightfoot, Roger Miller, Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Mort Sahl, Kris Kristofferson and Nina Simone. Weston first set up shop in the 1950s in a 65-seat coffeehouse on La Cienega Boulevard. By 1957 he had made enough money to open the 300-seat Troubadour in West Hollywood. # 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: Jack Subject: (exotica) Denny Moog Player Date: 15 Feb 1999 09:14:58 -0800 I think I heard from Cleve that it was Paul Beaver on Denny's EX Moog rekkit.

I will also surmise the following. Tune in, turn on came out in 1967 when Verve was getting into the Mod/Hip scene with albums by Gary McFarland, Wes Montgonmery, Creed Taylor and others who were doing pop jazz or "fake" jazz. This was Golson's only 60's album on Verve, perhaps his only one so I could be led to believe that his other albums were more mainstream "real" jazz. If any one can confirm my suspicions, speak now. I'm pretty sure I have heard some recent (80's) Golson that was very straight ahead.

Benny Golson wrote my all-time favorite jazz song called "Along Came Betty" which was recorded by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers. He has a lot of recorded work within what this list would probably call "straight-ahead" jazz, but the "good" kind of the Blue Note, Riverside, Prestige ilk--that is, late 50's early 60's stuff when jazz seemed (to me) vibrant. # 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: Jay Schwartz Subject: (exotica) Celebs at their Worst 2 Date: 16 Feb 1999 00:24:17 On Fri, 12 Feb 1999 08:29:37 PST, studio@wayno.com wrote: >Overall, "Celebrities At Their Worst Vol. 2" is less satisfying than the first volume... I fully concur with this review, although the bogus Sammy Petrillo track is pretty odd news. There has been a lot of recent attention given to Sammy in the last few years (OK, a few stories in Psychotronic Video mainly), so this seems like a hard mistake to make. I'll add that the "unknown" track 6 on the Friars' Club disc is comedian Jackie Vernon. The reason I know is that I used to have a bootleg 8-track tape of the entire Don Rickles roast, with all of the introductions. I vaguely recall the bootleg 8-track having slightly better audio than the tape used here. It's a hit-or-miss affair, though there's some good stuff, and the Venom track really grows on you!

Dave Pell singers - Ma Na Ma Na - This one's just arrived and so I haven't played it yet. Thanks to those who tipped me off on this one. Don Harper - Homo Electronicus - Unusual Moog record about Man's place at the centre of an electronic world. The Dr Who theme was on the Beat Actione bootleg - top. Electronic Water - Peter Thomas Orchestra - A Moog infused library record on the Golden Ring (suspect) label. Peter Thomas is fantastic on this LP, strange electronics and big beats abound. Pretty cool all round. BBC sporting themes - A top KPM-ish lp by Keith Mansfield, Tony Hatch, Paddy Kingsland etc, featuring 1970s TV themes from Grandstand, Pot Black, World Cup, Athletics, Tennis etc. Most of these were culled from KPM library records and they're mostly pretty cool. On another note, the expensive, rare and supremely collectable Anandar Shankar lp is Anandar Shankar and his music. Its an Indian EMI release and two of its tracks are on the Blue Juice compilation (which is excellent in itself). I was also once offered a 7" single by Anandar Shankar, put out by The Indian Tourist Board, which is also supposed to be good - unfortunately, I missed it though. And finally, I'd like to recommend Craig Moerer and Memory-Lane records as the two best Internet dealers I have come across so far. Cheap shipping, good condition, nice presentation, prompt service and top records.

After these albums ya talks yer chances regarding the "ghosting" element and like I said a more typical "easy listening" sound. "Exotic Suite" is worth looking out although this is primarily a Sy Zentnar album with Denny playing (Denny's more subtle exotica is steamrolled by the big Las Vegas-style brassy arrangements of Zentner.) # 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: Subject: (exotica) m-i-a?

Maybe so, but they made it anyway. The call attributed to Petrillo on the "Celebs" CD is definitely Harold Flender, taken from his United Artists LP "Candid Telefun." In fact this particular call (inquiring at a pet shop about monkeys for cooking) is depicted on the cover of Flender’s LP. Sammy Petrillo also recorded an album of crank calls, "My Son, The Phone Caller," (I don’t recall the label offhand) which is a laff riot. It deserves to be reissued in its entirety, although mainstream America’s fascination with crank calls (Jerky Boys, Roy D. Mercer, etc.) seems to have petered out. For the time being, anybody wishing to hear Petrillo’s abuse of the communications infrastructure will have to seek out his LP. WFMU has an interview with Sammy on their web site: ****************************************** Elisabeth Vincentelli wrote: >Just got Benny Golson's Tune In, Turn On to the Hippest Commercials of >the Sixties (Verve), which is a good 1967 collection of revisited music >from commercials. I'd never heard of Golson before, and I'd like to know >if the rest of his stuff is any good. Most of Golson’s work was in "legitimate" jazz. He wrote many tunes which have become jazz standards ("Blues March," "Killer Joe" etc.), and is probably best known for his stints with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and the Jazztet, which he co-led with trumpeter Art Farmer. List members might find his album "Triple Play: Pop + Swing = Jazz" (Audio Fidelity, 1962) to be of interest. It’s a stereo novelty record with an orchestra playing a pop standard on one channel while a jazz group plays a tune based on the same chord structure on the other channel (e.g. "Whispering" and "Groovin’ High"). The idea is for the listener to adjust the balance and "mix your own" album, albeit in the most primitive way. The jazz half of the LP was reissued on CD by Fresh Sounds a few years ago. If you like "Tune In, Turn On" you might want to check out Willie Bobo’s "Juicy," also recently issued by Verve. Bobo covers some of the same tunes (Music To Watch Girls By, The Disadvantages of You) and the album has a similar feel. While we’re on the subject, readers of this list who are looking for unusual and entertaining music would do well to investigate some other jazz artists. I see Charles Mingus’s "Cumbia and Jazz Fusion" Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s "Blacknuss" and any number of Sun Ra recordings fitting right in with items regularly discussed here. Keep your eyes peeled in case Verve ever reissues Jimmy Smith’s "Monster" LP (1965). Smith’s organ fronts Oliver Nelson’s big band on the themes from "Goldfinger," "Bewitched," "The Munsters" and "The Man with the Golden Arm." It’s a good ‘un. ---Wayno ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! -- [This message was sent using an evaluation copy of IMail Server for Windows NT, a product of Ipswitch, Inc.] # 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: Jack Subject: (exotica) Benny Golson Date: 16 Feb 1999 08:36:36 -0800 Demi-Goddess and Cultural Icon Elisabeth Vincentelli, writes; Elisabeth Vincentelli Just got Benny Golson's Tune In, Turn On to the Hippest Commercials of the Sixties (Verve), which is a good 1967 collection of revisited music from commercials.

(AP) -- Buddy Wayne Knox, a rockabilly singer and songwriter who hit the top of the charts with ``Party Doll'' in the 1950s, died Sunday of cancer. He was 65. Knox penned his biggest hit, ``Party Doll,'' as early as 1948. Seven years later, he formed the Rhythm Orchids with Jimmy Bowen on bass and Don Lanier on guitar. Studio owner Norman Petty cut ``Party Doll'' and Bowen's ``I'm Stickin' With You'' on the local Triple-D label in 1956, using a cardboard box instead of drums. The tunes were later picked up by Roulette's then-new NYC label, which split the songs onto two records, each with a ``B'' side. Each sold a million copies and ``Party Doll'' became a No. 1 hit. Knox had a string of other songs on the charts in the '50s, including ``Hula Love,'' ``Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep,'' and ``Somebody Touched Me.'' In 1997, Knox joined The Crickets, Bobby Vee and The Shirelles at a Buddy Holly Tribute concert to mark the 38th anniversary of the singer's death. Concerts commemorating ``the day that music died'' -- as singer-songwriter Don McLean put it in his 1972 hit ``American Pie'' -- have become an annual event. http://elvispelvis.com/buddywayneknox.htm http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B4701 *Gerald Gregory GARY, Ind. (AP) -- Gerald ``Bounce'' Gregory, the bass singer who hit the distinctive low notes on The Spaniels' 1950s classic ``Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight,'' died Friday at age 64. While the doo-wop group didn't hit it big nationally, their signature song, penned by lead singer James ``Pookie'' Hudson, was covered by several bands during the 1950s, notably The McGwire Sisters and Pat Boone. Sha-Na-Na sang ``Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight'' to close its television show each week. The Spaniels were made up of students from Gary's Roosevelt High School. Gregory, Hudson, Willie C. Jackson, Opal Courtney Jr. and Ernest Warren formed the group in 1952. The group later signed with Chicago record label Vee Jay Records. The Spaniels were awarded the Pioneer Award from the Rhythm & Blues Foundation of the Smithsonian Institution in 1991. The group's career was at its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, but the Spaniels, with some replacement members, continued to perform around the country. Gregory's last performance with the group was in December 1998. http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B82135 # 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: Lloyd Kandell Subject: Re: (exotica) Arthur Lyman live?

This is pure, sweaty, nasty, dirty, grunting and groaning wild thing music, no human sound effects needed, with some peaceful interludes allowing time to smoke a cigarette (if you don't smoke, then chew). It beats the pants off "The Story of O" OST. My Favorite Astroslut wrote: There is a CD-ROM of Betty Page which i haven't seen that supposedly includes her shorts. Also, while searching the IMDB for breathily intimate torch singer Jeri Southern, who i've never seen mentioned on this list, I found her in 1958's "I, Mobster", a Corman flick with stripper Lili St. Cyr, the delightfully trashy Yvette (Attack of the Giant Leeches/AND 50 Foot Woman")Vickers as The Blonde, and a male character aptly named Cherry Nose.

He was also responsible for the "Scoctopus" (meaning Scotti's Octopus, btw) compilation on Schema records, which was the first comp of italian library music (later followed those on Plastic recs). I have already written to the list that Paolo has a new label of his own now, called "Studio Uno". Three 12" vinyls are out: 1) Piero Piccioni's "O rugido do leao"; 2) Franco Godi's "W la felicita'"; 3) Berto Pisano's "Kill". All releases feature original version of the songs, plus remixes. Also, there's the vinyl/CD compilation "Third Millennium". Future releases are: 1) CLUB MORRICONE: a limited edition, vinyl only, compilation of easy Morricone tracks, half on the bossa side and half on the psychedelic vibe. 2) IL MONDO DEI GIOVANI (The World Of The Young): featuring tracks from Piero Piccioni, Piero Umiliani, Berto Pisano, Luis Bacalov, and other gurus of italian grooviness.

I thought the stereo material was from the stereo version of "Exotica" which Denny rerecorded in '58. I actually liked the presence of these tracks since I already had the mono version on the Scamp reissue. Yes, the mono version is superior, but from a comparison's sake it was nice to listen to. I'll agree that the liner notes were disappointing, although I do appreciate the info on the songwriters and original album info on the track listing (something I wish had been done on the Lyman "Best of" from the Bachelor's Den series). Also, for the most part I thought the unreleased tracks were pretty good (some quite excellent); again I like these since I can't get them anywhere else. Since it is billed more as a "boxed set" rather than a 'greatest hits' these seem appropriate to me.

Strauss" Subject: (exotica) Benny Golson Date: 17 Feb 1999 11:25:20 -0500 (EST) Benny Golson is one of the great arrangers of jazz, having come out of that harmonic fantasyland that Philadelphia was in the late 50s/early 60s. His talent is getting a large group sound of of a half-dozen muscians. If you go to rmb or any of the jazz lists, the word that is perpetually used is "under-rated". However, like Oliver Nelson and JJ Johnson, other brilliant jazz guys with dollar signs in their eyes, he did a fair amount of work in Hollywood. On another note: David Letterman is now making jokes about Ebay. It is a different world than the one we were born into.

The best known artist on this label is Jacques Higelin though I have a few other French soundtracks that somehow managed to get on to the label but I don't think are/were signed to it. Higelin is a blues-rocker & I guess the closest comparison if any would be Johnny Hallyday. I haven't heard Brigitte Fontaine but I always imagine her to sound more like Francoise Hardy's folkier sound or Nico but can't say for sure. I see these everywhere here in Montreal and I've been meaning to listen to them. I don't think they would be too common in most places in North America. Maybe Elisabeth knows these acts but let me have a listen this weekend in the stores and I'll report back. What most interests me on this label os a sub-label called PoPo or Popcolour which is a Japanese affiliated project with Saravah. I have two releases on it, one by a group called Dragibus which plays what I would describe as "acid jazz for kids" and is inspired by traditional kids songs. Another by a group called Mamie Chan Band is a bit less consistent but has a sound that reminds me in places of circus music. One of my interest is finding out music that works for both kids and adults so that's my reason for interest in this label.

The record was designed to make every flirtation an affair to remember. Lots of exotica standards like Quiet village, Shangri-La, Yellow Bird, Flamingo, Bali Hai and Pagan love song. The title is correct. It seems this paradise features one Harpsichord and a lot of rain, it never stops!... lots of thunders too. And birdcalls. There is even a track called "Tiki Waterfall" written by the producer/Arranger Al Capps.

Since it is billed more as a "boxed set" rather than a 'greatest hits' these seem appropriate to me. That's the problem with these three sets they are neither proper best of's because there are glarring omissions in favor of rarities. While I picked them up primarily because of these rare tracks, I think they reflect the compiler's personal tastes more than providing a definitive greatest hits collection.

The violinist-impresario-composer served as a conductor of the Salt Lake Philharmonic Orchestra. He also brought entertainers including Liberace and Frank Sinatra for concerts at what is now the Utah State Fairpark. Born in Ukraine, Jelesnik fled with his mother and aunt to the United States to escape the Russian Revolution. He began his career as a musician in 1935 in New York City, where he was discovered by vaudeville performer Sophie Tucker. Jelesnik conducted 19 overseas USO tours, including two to Vietnam. He received the Civilian Service Award Ribbon from the War Department for his service under fire during World War II in Italy. *Mary Nell Santacroce ATLANTA (AP) -- Mary Nell Santacroce, who appeared in numerous TV movies and starred in the title role of ``Driving Miss Daisy'' on the Atlanta stage and on international tour, died Wednesday of leukemia and bone cancer. The actress was born Mary Nell McKoin in Atlanta around 1917, although she stopped giving her age years ago. She taught speech and drama at Georgia Institute of Technology from 1948 to 1965. Most often she played characters with an earthy, humorous bent, laced with a strong Southern accent. Directing her in the 1979 movie ``Wise Blood,'' filmmaker John Huston described her as ``one of the three or four greatest actresses in the world.'' She appeared in TV movies including ``The Yearling,'' ``Stolen Babies'' and ``Cold Sassy Tree,'' as well as in miniseries including ``Scarlett'' and ``Queen.'' Her feature film credits include ``Something to Talk About'' and ``The War.'' http://allmovie.com/cg/x.exe?USR=10:06:40|AM&p=avg&sql=B63085 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) fwd: On-line auction complaint site Date: 18 Feb 1999 11:22:53 -0600 NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, U.S.A., 1999 FEB 17 (NB) -- By Bob Woods, Newsbytes. New York City residents who feel they've been taken by an online auction house, or by a third party using an Internet-based auction service, can now file a complaint using the same medium instrumental in defrauding them: the World Wide Web. New York City's Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) is now letting Big Apple residents register complaints against online auction houses directly via the DCA's Web site. The Web page containing the sign-up form can be reached from DCA's main Web site, at http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/nyclink/html/dca/home.html . At the site, Web surfers can click on the "File A Complaint Against An Online Auction House" link. The link can also be used for general communications with DCA, a note at the Web site said. Of all online auction houses, EBay in particular has been the DCA's target. DCA press officer Shauna Keogan confirmed to Newsbytes late last month her office is specifically looking into fraud charges against eBay, involving sports memorabilia. Keogan said she could not go into any further details about the investigation. Besides DCA, the New York Post also said the FBI was looking into eBay. EBay has also received negative press coverage in regards to alleged fraudulent bidding. The New York Post in particular has spotlighted what it called alleged fraud charges made against eBay in recent weeks. "We have had subsequent conversations with the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs and they have been unable to confirm elements of the story," eBay told Newsbytes last month. An "unnamed source" was used in the Post's report, eBay said, adding, "While eBay will not directly comment to an unnamed source and hypothetical situations, eBay will discuss its industry-leading trust and safety programs. It has always been eBay's practice to offer to fully cooperate with any investigation involving improper items on the site. EBay takes pride in its close working relationship with law enforcement and regulatory agencies." A source inside eBay told Newsbytes the company urges consumers who feel they have been defrauded to take action against the third party who sold them the product. "We encourage everyone to file a complaint, so the (fraudulent party) can be found and prosecuted," the source also said. EBay has always maintained it is not responsible for fraud on its Web site, because it acts only as a "middleman" between buyer and seller. The Post had reported DCA was specifically investigating eBay because sports memorabilia dealers have allegedly sold "one-of-a-kind" items like signed baseballs to many people. DCA also alleged eBay itself can be charged with fraud because it collects fees from sellers on each item changing hands via the service, the Post said. EBay has recently touted other improvements it has made to its antifraud SafeHarbor and Buddy Programs security features. EBay said SafeHarbor 2.0 and Legal Buddy Program 2.0 will help promote safe online trading, as well as protect the overall community from fraud, the sale of illegal or infringing materials and people that would misuse its system. The programs even go so far as to provide free insurance from Lloyd's of London to respected traders, eBay said. Among the other features of the new systems are verified eBay user identification status, an enhanced feedback forum area, tougher deadbeat bidder and shill bidding policies, clarification of illegal items that are not permissible for sale and strengthened antipiracy and anti- infringement protection. And earlier this month, eBay said it would work with credit-tracker Equifax Inc. to help eliminate fraud on the company's person-to-person auction service (Newsbytes, Feb. 11). A press report said eBay Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Meg Whitman told an audience at the annual Goldman Sachs Technology Symposium Equifax would operate as an independent authority to verify the financial status of buyers and sellers using the eBay service. EBay is making the move to eliminate possible fraud by people on either side of the transaction, something that happens "about 27 out of every million transactions," Whitman said.

I hope you don't mind me copying what you play out there. I also have the Music Hound book, a good resource. I notice a lot of Boston people on the list. An invitation to lounge enthusiasts to contact me about co-hosting a program. We can talk about the music on the air and play your favorite music.

The technology is really better then you make it sound. In fact many smaller record labels are putting mp3-ified songs on CDs in addition to having them in regular audio format. The sound quality can be excellent, especially if you use a 44 khz variable bit rate encoding. I personally have a voracious appetite for music and with mp3s I can trade someone 8 to 10 albums (500 to 600 minutes) of CD quality music on one CD-R and once I have it on a CD-R I can copy an album as easily as coping a document file. You may have to use your computer to play back the music, but there are free standing little Walkman like mp3 players on the market, or it's very easy to patch your sound card into your stereo receiver and use your computer like another audio component. It's also very easy to convert mp3 file to wav/aiff files and burn your own CDs. Especially with some of the rare exotica that may only be on vinyl and may not ever be re-released, it would seem mp3s would be the ultimate format for those of use who just want to hear the music. It's compact, it's cheap and it sounds great, if that's "Teenager-land", then I want a one way ticket to it, baby!!! # 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: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Lonely Harpsichord Date: 18 Feb 1999 12:31:43 EST In a message dated 02/18/99 10:31:33 AM Eastern Standard Time, bellybongo@hotmail.com writes: << Found this LP yesterday; Lonely Harpsichord "Rainy night in Shangri-la" Viva V36011 >> Not quite exotic but the harpsichord so in the first movement of The Brandenberg Concerti # 5 is the hands down best harpsichord piece.

Beginning today, fans can purchase five TMBG albums and 100 tracks at http://GoodNoise.com and on the official TMBG website at http://www.tmbg.com. In the coming months, GoodNoise and TMBG will release 15 previously unreleased tracks. "Our MP3 release will collect a lot of Dial-A-Song recordings, and preview some of our upcoming album material as well as find a home for some of the wilder songs." said John Flansburgh, of They Might Be Giants. They Might Be Giants has built a reputation as one of the most innovative, unique rock bands in the world. The band is known for live performances and has performed over 1000 shows around the world. TMBG has sold over 3 million records worldwide and has released 10 videos. TMBG has developed a special relationship with their fans through innovative programs such as their "Dial-A-Song" service, which offers fans the ability to hear a different new song every hour. "They Might Be Giants has a huge following on the Internet and is certainly one of the most innovative bands of the past decade," said Gene Hoffman, president and CEO of GoodNoise. "TMBG has always used innovative tools to reach out to their fan base. Selling their music in MP3 will allow them to further leverage the Internet as a means connecting with their existing fan base and exposing their music to new fans." "We knew a couple of years ago there was a lot of trading of Dial-A-Song files on MP3. It's always surprising where the next medium for music comes from, and even more surprising how any people, especially music people, think nothing will ever change. When we made our first 'indie' album in the late eighties, the record company didn't even want to make CDs. We had to find another 'indie' to manufacture a CD after the album took off," said Flansburgh. TMBG's music has attracted an extremely diverse fan base ranging from children to older adults. The group's popularity and accessibility to fans has allowed them to build an extremely loyal, active Internet fan base. TMBG.com, the official website of the band, attracts thousands visitors each week and there are dozens of websites created by the band's fervent fans. TMBG's Internet popularity was confirmed recently when TMBG member John Linnell was voted the 9th Most Beautiful Person in People Magazine's 3rd Annual "Most Beautiful People" online reader's poll. In addition, John Flansburgh recently found himself near the top of a Time Magazine online poll for the Person of the Century. Along with their next (old fashioned) CD release, They Might Be Giants are currently completing a children's album and a series of performance segments for ABC's Nightline Primetime to be broadcast this summer. # 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: cscheffy@kinglet.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Re: (exotica) Ananda Shankar (again) Date: 18 Feb 1999 10:31:51 -0800 > > Beware Ananda's later work (as in CDs of the last 10-15 years) - it sounds > very new-agey, sitar and synthesizer yes, but much more of the crystals and > aromatherapy variety. > > Not funky, not even very interesting.

Here's his response: Dear Lou, Hi! It's interesting timing as someone just yesterday asked me the same thing. In five or so years of running the Official Authorized Yma Sumac Homepage, no one has ever asked! The word "Xtabay," of course, was made up by record execs at Capitol Records (although I've also heard that it was a figure in Mayan legend - there is a document in Spanish that I saw about it recently). That means that there may not be a real "written-n-blood" pronunciation of it. The proper pronunciation (the one that I have always heard) is: EX-tabee, although many pronounce it EX-taby, as in "by" or EX-tabay, as in "bay." The first one would be the closest, but the third would also be close and they are both close to each other. But, when using Spanish pronunciation, the second would be best, although it's not a Spanish word so it would not make sense to compare it to that language.

Sumac was my introduction to Exotica, back in 1976 or 1977 when my hip Uncle played several of her 78's for me. Also, he played "Anna (El Baion)" by Silvana Mangano. Slightly before she and the backup singers sing, "El Baion!" there is a line that sounds as if the singers sing, "She gobbles it up!", which was not the line, of course, however, when you are a teenage boy and you hear that, well... About the Xtabay (darned if I can pronounce it either!), through the magic of the internet and the Alta Vista translator, here is part of the legend from Mario Diaz Triay 's" Tour guide of the Peninsula de Yucatan, the Land of the Mayans ", The Tzacam is a flower that arose from the grave of the lustful, sinning, woman Xkeban [Down with the Jaguar, perhaps? - Ed.]. From this flower springs Xtabay: "...she is the woman XTABAY the one who arose from the TZACAM, the flower of the punzador cactus; when it sees a man, it returns to life and waits it under ceibas combing her long hair with a piece of TZACAM made bristle prongs. It follows the men until it is able to attract them, seduces them quickly kills them in the frenzy of a infernal love." Hasn't happened to me yet, but I wouldn't walk near any suspicious-looking cactii.

Mucho interesting stuff is posted in the 50s mp3 group as well as the later decade groups. Doo-woppers and rockabilly fans post rarities from their vinyl, and you can make requests. On the new CD "Songs for the Jet Set Vol.2", someone called Kim & Co. does two songs (including "Lolita Ya-Ya"!!!!) and sounds a lot like Patience & Prudence. Momus is involved with the CD but I don't know much else except I like both volumes and they are cheap. Maybe its because I've been immersed in breathy female vocals lately, including Kahime Karie, Jane Birkin, Astrud Gilberto, Charlotte Gainesbourg, and the verrrrrrry sexy Rhino CD comp "Pillow Talk - The Sensuous Sounds of Sylvia." Yes, she's the one from Mickey & Sylvia, but this is smooooth soul with her hit "Pillow Talk" and a fine cover of Marvin Gaye's " You Sure Love To Ball." Whew!!!!!!!

Date: 19 Feb 1999 00:11:45 +0000 Ahhh....all this talk of Ms. Sumac has bubbled up some great memories for me...namely, the CONCERT I saw her give in NYC in '89!!! It was soon after her re-emergence on the Willner-produced 'STAY AWAKE' comp, in which she cut a beautiful track with full orchestra. This was an intimate, rather Martin Denny-like orchestra with her lilting voice in gorgous form. Man could that woman sing. My buddy and I went backstage and she called us into the dressing room and signed a poster, CD's and my copy of 'Fuego Del Andes', all 'With Love, Yma Sumac 1989" in ornate script. A real thrill. Does anyone have any info as to her status now? Is she in OK health? One last bit: Although all her 50's releases are dear to my heart, my new favorite release by her is my most recent (and super-rare) find, MIRACLES, 1972, produced and penned by Les Baxter. It's a psychedelic rock record with her singing over it. Incredibly Strange Music called it 'one of the most psychedelic albums ever made.' It is so odd that I'd be inclined to agree.

More Sound Gallery than Hanged Man in feel. Featuring Harry Stoneham (of recent studio 2 double pack re-release) on Hammond Organ, and Laurie (man or Woman?) Steel on guitar. Its the kind of record that makes me laugh out loud when I listen to it. Worth the money for the introduction to Georgie Girl alone, the rest of the LP is good too. Other stand outs for me were The Troubleshooters (already described, quite dark), The Carnival is Over and A World Of Our Own with the melody played on what sounds like one of those chime instruments they have in marching bands. I didn't think side 2 was so strong, but I enjoyed side 1 so much I played it several times and haven't given the flip much of a chance yet. The cover is fairly non-descript, a latin street scene that I may have missed in a shop if I'd seen it. But the sleeve notes are good, with a quote from Tom Springfield on how he likes to actively employ the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) in his song writing. So shameless. So, got to look out for the western themes (and the rest) now.

Unlike previous Koray albums (including some CDs that have come out in Turkey that are basically impossible to find), this appears to be a straight reissue of a complete album from 1974, with original cover artwork reproduced on the full color gatefold/fold out. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, but mastered off of vinyl (expecting a master tape transfer on something of this vintage would be about as ridiculous as believing that Santa Claus wears pants). Beautifully developed eastern melodies via a folk-ish/psych merger and some of Koray's most extended tracks. Sitar Psychedelia. Big time mesmerizing stuff. Some amazing instrumentals, some amazing vocals, some vocals with chanting, very melodic and straight forward, not difficult AT ALL to love and be mezmerized by, sing along to, with Tabla, Bongos, Piano, Electric Guitar and Sitar, Bass, Drums and other Turkish Percussion. Totally unfuckingbelieveable. 10 Stars!!!

It's also referred to on the back of Dominic Frontiere's PAGAN FESTIVAL LP on Columbia. There's a song called "Goddess of Love (X-Tabai)" on there. All the songs have parenthetical Inca translated titles. Unless every label was making up bogus Inca words and swiping from Capitol's "Xtabay" to make it consistent, and based on the above Yucatan reference quote, I seriously doubt if the term was invented by Capitol. Also, with my limited knowledge of Yucatan pronunciation, I side with hk-tah-bay, with the first syllable like you're quietly clearing your throat to spit, as I heard a reliable friend pronounce it once.

Shake's real name is Elsworth, but they call him Shakes on accounts of he likes Shakespeare. Shake plays the Flugelhorn, and is... Indo-something or other. But I was wondering what the Keating Sound was. Johnny Keating? If so, I didn't see his name anywhere else on the album. Also, no date, though it looked much later than 50's for a mono record. I tried to bargain it down, but the record guy said that the "mono" made it all the more collectible. Hmmmmm. Anyway, anyone know if these are worth three or four dollars? Also picked up Al Hirt doing Music to Watch Girls by and Mais Que Nada. I don't know about him, but it's hard to go wrong with those two tunes.

No Kirk on it, but I like QJ's arranging skills. Anyone else want to comment on these?

I love "The Big Hurt", one of the great beautiful "mystery"-songs of all times. A very rare timeless spaceless category of undestructable evergreens like "Some Velvet Morning", "Green Tambourine", "Windmills Of Your MInds", "Johnny Remember Me", "Gotta See Jane", "In the Year 2525", "We'll Meet Again", something like that, at least to me. The harmonies of "The Big Hurt"...they never come to an end, mysteriously going and going like eternally. Composer is Wayne Shanklin, who also did "Chanson D'Amour" (Art & Dotty Todd), that's about all I know about him and I know nothing about Miss Toni Fisher, which makes the whole affair even more mysterious, to me at least. Both songs appear on a neat little Cheapo-CD called "Classic Hits" on Curb Records, Nashville... mysterious label, too. -Mo #Exotica mailing list frequently asked questions at: http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Moritz.Reichelt # 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: recliner Subject: Re: (exotica) Its a Lovely Day Date: 19 Feb 1999 18:47:38 -0400 >What a day!

I do have another record with Shake Keane on it -- "Bard with a Beat", music portraying Shakespeare in one way or another (also with the input of David Lindup and Ken Jones). That one's pretty nice "chamber jazz" where Shake is concerned, definitely a very nice record, if not earthshattering.

I picked up a couple of albums by them, "Side by Side" and "On the Move" because someone on the list spoke rather highly of them (Nat?). Unfortunately,I found nothing in them to hold my attention. Honestly I don't get the attraction to these guys, perhaps I picked up their two bumb albums. The arragement actually aren't half bad ( Sid Feller), but their singing is so lacking in any inflection it just counteracts the enjoyment of the music. They sound to me like Andy Williams times 2.

Being the first CD collection of Denny's tracks it was a godsend and the liner notes together make it a truly treasured title, as it was put together with the utmost reverance and respect for Denny rather than a cash in on the several yeras later "lounge" craze. The track choice was so good it was even copied track-for-track by the UK's Revola label in the UK (the reissue arm of Creation records). The only problem with it is from a technological rarther than aesthetic standpoint. The ability to more properly master tracks onto a CD has moved lightyears ahead since this CD was released. All you have to do is compare shared tracks on either the Scamp or Capitol reissues and you'll hear the sonic difference. The other problem with the Rhino set is that for some unknown studio mix-up, the tracks taken form the "Afro-dsia" album have the right and left channels reveresed! Not only that but a huge portion of Augie Colon's tse-tse fly impression has been removed form the "Tse-Tse" fly track. Any true Denny collector should own the Capitol double set if not just for the tracks album track unavaialble on other CD reissues, but for the unreleased tracks. However stay clear of the liner notes which despite being written after actually interviewing Martin Denny, have more errors than an early Mets game and do get somewhat disparaging in places. I guess because RJ Smith had written a couple of "exotica" and "lounge" articles he was (quite incorrectly) viewed by the reissue staff on the Ultra Lounge series as the "expert" to get to write the notes. I can tell you that these liner notes irk Martin Denny to no end especially when they overlook his role as arranger and band leader in favor of labeling him at one point "the piano player from the dagger bar" and for calling the quite elaborate multi-building Don The Beachcomer's Waikiki restaurant complex a "joint." (One of my traesures is a copy of this CD Martin Denny sent me with the inaccuracies he personally highligthed in orange marker!) Not to mention that it says "Exotica" was recorded in the Henry J Kaiser Aluminium dome in 1957 (the wrong year and the wrong place -- please someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't believe the Aluminium Dome was yet built in 1956). So there you have it, time for me to free up the soap box for someone else! ashley # 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: LTepedino@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Sandler & Young Date: 20 Feb 1999 14:24:19 EST In a message dated 2/19/99 8:38:47 PM EST, bruno@yhammer.com writes: << One's French.

They were on the Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin talk shows almost every other day it seemed. Sometimes they sing together in harmony and sometimes they sing in English and French at the same time. I have four of their LP's and love them all. There was always something classy and cool about them. Their version of the Bacharach tune "Odds n Ends" is a classic. I have no idea about reissued CD's but I wouldn't pass up an LP if you see one. Nat, I'm glad you love them too, these guys are among the kings of cheese and they have often been made fun in wonderful impersonations by the SCTV folks (John Candy being Young but I can't quite remeber who played Sandler). There was a nice collection released by Capitol a few years ago that is worth searching out if it is still available. Times were different then for an act like these two to become as famous as they did, I guess you still had the middle America housewife quotient who felt that these two tuxedo clad singers, especially with the cute one singing in French, where a touch of Continental sophistication in their somewaht plain lives. The kitsch value is superb as you can imagine songs like "Feelin' Groovy" "Chicago" and "Cabaret" sung at some point in the arrangement in English by Young and in counterpoint harmony in French by Sandler (yep, "Chicago, that toddlin' town" sung in French!) What is especially funny is when these two sing songs of love (due to the unanticipated and totally unintended homosexual subtext!) and songs of lonliness (yep, the context of two guys together singing about being alone!) My favorite is when these two do "Put on a Happy Face" while Sandler sings the lyrics in French, German and Italian while Young sings the line "Put On A Happy Face" in a mugging vocal style. Then they finish up with the final line before the last chorus being "We spread Berlitz all over the place, so put on a happy face!"

They make a rather big deal out of the use of this instrument. At first I was skeptical, but the film came out in 1960, so I guess it does pre-date some other early Ondioline recordings that came to mind. Still, I wonder if anyone on the list can think of other recordings in or before 1960 that featured the Ondioline? Other unusual instruments used on the album include (quoted directly from liner notes): the sarrousophone, a wind instrument of a chillingly barbaric character; the kythara, a plucked Roman string instrument resembling a lyre; the dulcimer; the Israeli recorder; a Chinese oboe; lute, mandolin, Yugoslav flute, bagpipes; and the Ondioline. -- Brad # 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: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Tonight in SF - Sat 20 - Hullabaloo Date: 20 Feb 1999 15:56:22 EST From the folks that brought you Bardot A Go-Go Hulabaloo!

I don't feel the need to defend my taste which went missing just before I joined this list and hasn't been seen or heard from since. I mean, at this very moment I'm listening to Perry Como so clearly we're talking about a whole new definition of "taste". But there are some parameters left. Sandler and Young capture something like no one else whose records I have. It's nothing like Andy Williams for instance, whose records I also like by the way. There's a kind of "swingin playboy" thing going with "S&Y" whereas Andy is more like a sweet choirboy all grown up. I'm not sure what is meant here by "lack of inflection" but if you mean "no discernible emotion" I can understand what you mean. It's not that S&Y don't have emotions, but more that they're always a bit too happy or proud of themselves. With S&Y, I'd say it's more like "We could inflect here but we're too cool to bother. Hey check out this harmony part coming up. We're good eh?". Their sound is all about the arrangements and the blending of their voices. Beyond that though there's a "showbiz" feeling - a Vegas lounge feeling - that appeals to me. And they do have a way with a Bacharach tune. Especially - once again - "Odds n Ends" with it's great whistling intro.

The interesting thing about Bud's "pop" records - as opposed to let's say Chet Baker in the Mariachi Brass - is that Bud consistently gets off these great sweet jazzy sax solos almost in spite of the musical setting. The arrangements are cool; the female choir is used sparingly and effectively; and then there's Bud.

He was 65. Schmidt died from complications of AIDS at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center on Friday, said his brother Jim. An expert in Slavic languages, he spent many years translating the writings of Velemir Khlebnikov, an obscure Russian poet who died in 1922. He brought Khlebnikov's play ``Zangezi'' to the stage in Los Angeles in 1986. It later ran at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. For the academy's 1995 Next Wave Festival, he composed a libretto for the opera ``Alice,'' which was based on Lewis Carroll's ``Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and ``Through the Looking Glass.'' Composer Tom Waits and director Robert Wilson collaborated on the project. Playwrights Horizons and the Music Theater Group presented ``Black Sea Follies,'' a play Schmidt wrote, in 1986. His collection of Rimbaud translations, titled ``A Season in Hell'' after the poet's masterpiece by the same name, was published in 1997, with photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~art/schmidt.html *Michael Higgins RIVERSIDE, Ill. (AP) -- Glass artist and designer Michael Higgins, half of the husband-wife team who created the colorful and sought-after ``higgins'' glass, has died at age 90. Higgins died Feb. 13 at his home and studio. Some of the household objects he and his wife Frances created from vividly colored fused glass over their 50-year joint career are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the Corning Glass Museum and London's Victoria and Albert Museum. A native of London, Higgins was educated at Eton, Cambridge University and the London Central School of Arts and Crafts. He immigrated to the United States in 1939 and moved to Chicago after World War II to head a department at the Institute of Design. In 1948, he married Frances Stewart, a glass artist who was attending graduate school. In their first tiny Chicago apartment, the two installed three glass kilns behind their sofa and began producing their own art glass. In the 1950s and '60s, the couple worked with major glass manufacturers and potteries to adapt their techniques for mass production, but in 1966 they moved to Riverside to return to independent studio work. http://glassbooks.com/3039.htm FALSE ALARM: Apparently the rumors of Timi Yuro's demise were premature. # 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: "Dom Ciccone" Subject: (exotica) Paul Schmidt, Date: 22 Feb 1999 12:09:18 -0500 >For the academy's 1995 Next Wave Festival, he composed a libretto for the opera ``Alice,'' which was based on Lewis Carroll's ``Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and ``Through the Looking Glass.''

We'll hear most of the classics, including tracks from Dom Frontiere's "Pagan Festival", "Polynesian Percussion" by George Cates, Don Ralke's bongo classic "The Savage and the Sensuous" and many others. Also - organist Eddie Baxter's creepy take on "Quiet Village", Hawaiian music Nashville-style by the Paradise Island Trio (think The Three Suns Go Hawaiian!) plus a visit to "The Enchanted Tiki Room".

The local men knew this and would loiter about at lunch hour for the free 'show'. The cops would then have to engage in enforcing the "23 Skidoo" - chasing the would be oglers from 23rd Street. I don't know if it's true, but it's a very New York story. # 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: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) Barbarella, Bob Thiele and Bob Crewe Date: 22 Feb 1999 14:38:39 -0500 I was watching Barbarella on TV the other night - the first time I've seen it since I was a kid - and I was kind of surprised to hear that the music was almost identical in spirit to the kind of "Now Sound" stuff that I've been marinating in lately. I really liked the music but I have to say that I thought it was fairly inappropriate for the film. Of course I can't say what I would have thought at the time but I think the film deserved a more spacey/trippy sound. Having said that, it reminded me in particular of a couple of records I picked up last week so that was just an introduction. Bob Thiele "Do the Love" and Bob Crewe Generation "Music to Watch BIRDS By" (my emphasis) I'm assuming some people here are familiar with Bob Thiele's "Light My Fire" record with Gabor Szabo and Bill Plummer on electric sitar. Like that record, this one also has Bob's "New Happy Times Orchestra". I love these names. On the "Light my fire" record, the chorus is called "The California Dreamers". On this record they're called "The Sunflower Singers". And instead of Gabor and Bill, "Do the Love" features special guest.... Steve Allen! There are a couple of covers but the highlight of the record are "Do the Love" which basically has the Sunshine Singers repeating those words over a pleasant Now Sound-y melody and "Jet me to Frisco" which has a few more lyrics. Having basically passed through an obsession with instrumental covers of sixties tunes, I'm now trying to move on to an obsession with music that has the same fake-sixties feel but doesn't cover familiar hits. What would I call that? "NOW-soundtrack" as opposed to "NOW sound"? The Bob Crewe record is a classic of that genre I just identified. (The Brass Ring would fit in there too but they do more covers.) Did Bob Crewe have any "hits" after "music to watch girls by"?? There's a great tune here called "Melancholy Serenade" which I think could have been a hit. But on the front cover it points out "featuring Winter Warm and Birds of Britain". Actually the writing credit on "Melancholy Serenade" is "Gleason" and the tune does have a kind of TV-theme show sound. So could this have been Jackie Gleason's TV-theme just made cooler? It does sound kind of familiar... Anyway, "Birds of Britain" has lyrics printed on the inside cover but no actual lyrics sung in the song. The first stanza goes like this: Chasin after chicks - is kicks But when I spend my time in England Here's the word I want a bird! That got me dreaming about Twiggy... at least until I saw Barberella.

It's been a long time but I believe it's the theme to "The Honeymooners". He was almost proud of the fact he could not read music but could compose songs. The arrangements on all those LP's he did are all his. According to the liner notes of the Capitol 2 CD set he would hire a "longhair", the name used in the notes, to write out the charts to his specifications. It sounded like he was very hard to work with.

The film tells a fairy tale and puts the emphasis on the poetic things of a space saga. A more"spacey" soundtrack (more Theremin, Moog etc.) might have been too technical and also too redundant in the end. A more trippy score on the other hand might have taken away the film's main stream appeal and could have turned him into a B-Movie. I think good film music never illustrates a movie 1 to 1; it rather adds the things that you cannot see, sometimes to an extend that it literally becomes the opposite of what you see.

He transcribed lots of birdsong, too, and arranged it for orchestra, which I suppose is marginally relevant to the list. The Ondes Martenot isn't the same instrument as the Ondioline, though. The Ondes Martenot was invented 1928 by Maurice Martenot, the Ondioline in 1940 by George Jenny (not to mention the Ondium Péchadre, 1930, H. Péchadre). See http://www.obsolete.com/120_years/ Messiaen also composed pieces for multiple Ondes Martenot, and as I've mentioned before, if anyone knows titles of these or recordings, I'd be grateful to find out.

Can you or anyone really confirm that this is a different show as I was under the impression that this was the same, stemming from the recording that Sinatra's record company Reprise made in anticipation of releasing, but decided not to (hence the professional recording quality). BTW this was Sam Giancana's club and the Rat Pack had to perform there for free as payback to the supposed labor votes Gianacarna won in the South JFK needed to get elected. There were so many mobsters in that show at the Villa Venice (which also had an illegal casino in the back) that Dino wanted to call the album "The Mob's Greatest Hits"! Also of note, the next day Sinatra and company, also as part of the payback, recorded a series of car commercials with new lyrics written to their hits like "Come Fly With Me," and "Kick In The Head" for Pete Epstein Pontiac (Sam Giancana's car dealership - under a stooge's name!). These recordings can be heard as the additional tracks on the Dean Martin "live At The Sands" CD bootleg.

Fellow musicians and fans are reeling at the death of Feary, of the local group Kalapana, who hanged himself with a bedsheet Saturday in his Halawa Correctional Facility cell. "Mackey was a one-of-a-kind musician, an idol to many, a child star, a self-made legend in Hawaiian music. What took him down was the drug scene," said Malani Bilyeu, a guitar player with Kalapana, from his Kauai home yesterday. "Drugs will strike anybody; it doesn't matter who you are. He had everything," said Bilyeu, who said he fought his own drug war and has been sober for eight years. "I will miss him. He was a big part of the music scene, like Iz," he said, referring to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, who died in 1997. Members of Kalapana expressed anger through their tears that Feary, 43, didn't turn to them for help. "It's sad because I'm a friend right here," Bilyeu said. "Why didn't he talk to me?" Cecilio Rodriguez, of the group Cecilio and Kapono, found out about Feary's suicide from a Guam customs official as he returned to Hawaii from a gig in Japan. "It hit me in the stomach. I was angry. Mackey, don't you know you have friends around you that care for you?" said Rodriguez, choking back sobs. "I said, 'I've got to go home and think about this.'" Feary's family seemed concerned that prison guards left the singer alone in his cell, given his depressed state, said Gaylord Holomalia, who played keyboards with Kalapana. A relative, Rodney Feary, said the family wasn't ready to talk about his death. All the friends who offered their support and the chances the courts gave Feary weren't enough against his addiction to crystal methamphetamine. Feary served six months in jail for smashing his wife's car window with a hammer in a Waimalu shopping center and possessing "ice" on Sept. 4, 1996. The singer tried to hang himself the day after he was arrested, but police rescued him. Feary dropped out of several drug treatment programs and failed several drug tests while serving five years of probation. Feary, who had worn out his chances, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in January. "When he went to jail the first time, I went to see him," Rodriguez recalled. "I told him, 'You're surrounded by friends who love you. Nothing is so bad as to end it all.'" But Feary looked back with a hardened veneer, he said. "I loved him as the man I always knew, but there was an invisible wall there." D.J. Pratt of Kalapana said Feary's problems ran deeper than the drugs. They grew up together and body-surfed as teen-agers at Sandy and Makapuu beaches. They both attended Kalani High School. "At first I was angry. I was kind of surprised, but not surprised at how far he would take it," said Pratt, who lost a younger brother who also hanged himself. "Emotionally, psychologically, it seems Mackey had problems that people didn't know about," Pratt said. Feary had been known as the brooding, quiet front man for Kalapana. He joined the band at the age of 16. "We were all young but he was the kid," Bilyeu said. "He held up the songwriting part of the group. I learned from him. He was one of those special persons born with it." He wrote songs on planes, buses, even while watching TV. "I'll never forget: We were watching TV together," recalled Maurice Bega, 41, of Maui, who played with Feary since 1979. "He left the room, then ran back and said, 'Brah, listen to this song I just wrote.' He wrote it while we were watching TV. I couldn't believe it." Feary structured music and lyrics in his head, unlike many songwriters who need a guitar and endless rewrites. "He was the most talented musician/songwriter I have ever known in my life. He took me to the next level of performing," Bega said. But like many of his peers, Feary got sucked into the drug scene. His use of "ice" affected his marriage to Dana Feary and their four children. Their union began crumbling in the last few years, Bilyeu said. Feary turned to God for help, but he returned to his old circle of friends. "He couldn't grow. He was still weak," Bilyeu said. "You get leeches pushing the dope. They want to be around the scene. He had too many around. Dealers are always around like lice." Feary fought a spiritual battle, but he had "ice" flowing through his veins. "You don't control 'ice,' it controls you," Rodriguez said. "If you don't have forces surrounding you to help you, it calls you back. 'Ice' said it wasn't done with him." http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B75377 http://allmusic.com/cg/x.exe?p=amg&sql=B39764 From the 2/22/99 Variety online: Shirley Stoler Actress Shirley Stoler, who enjoyed a five-decade career on stage, television and screen, died Feb. 17 of heart failure at Saint Vincent's Hospital in New York City. She was 70. Perhaps best known for her starring role as the Nazi overseer in the 1975 Italian film "Seven Beauties," which was Oscar-nominated for best foreign film, Stoler also starred in the 1969 film "The Honeymoon Killers." She also had featured roles in "Klute" (1971) and "The Deer Hunter" (1978). Her TV appearances included the PBS production of "Displaced Person" with Irene Worth and roles on "Charlie's Angels" and "The Edge of Night." She toured the U.S. in the national company of "The Music Man" and was featured in the Broadway production of "Lolita" starring Donald Sutherland. Stoler performed with Caffe Cino, La Mama and Living Theater, entities that laid the foundation for Off Broadway theater in New York. She is survived by two brothers, David and Ira; a sister, Miriam; a nephew; and six nieces. Family suggests donations in her name be made to the Actors' Fund of America. *Bessie Cohen LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bessie Cohen, the last survivor of a 1911 New York garment district fire that killed 146 people, died Sunday. She was 107. The fire at Triangle Shirtwaist Co. on Manhattan's Lower East Side prompted some of the first worker safety laws in the country. The exits to the factory were sealed, trapping many workers in the inferno. Mrs. Cohen, a 19-year-old immigrant from Russia who had been in the United States only three years at the time, was finishing a nine-hour shift when the fire erupted. She later recalled a group of women crying and pounding on the doors of an elevator shaft at the factory. Many workers jumped to their death on the sidewalk rather than perish in flames, but Mrs. Cohen was able to escape by running down eight flights of stairs. She went on to work in a grocery store and marry. She settled in Los Angeles in 1941.

I agree that Ondes Martenot does not sound like the Ondioline (that is the instrument on Experiment in Terror and all over The Ipcress File soundtrack, right?). I seem to recall that the Ondes Martenot is similar to the theremin. It sounds a bit like a theremin, too. The Ondioline sounds more to me like a zither with deep reverb. My Messiaen LPs which feature Ondes Martenot are the aforementioned Turangalila Symphony (conducted by Previn and released on a 2 LP set by Angel in 1978) and an LP with two pieces on it, Petites Liturgies and De La Presence Divine (released on abc Westminster Gold in 1974). A chilling and beautiful piece which does not feature Ondes Martenot is Messiaen's Quatour pour la Fin du Temps (Quartet for the End of Time). This is also one of his most recorded pieces so it should be relatively easy to find.

Actually, I think I'd disagree. I went through my collection and based on the stuff I've heard and like from the Capitol and Scamp collections, I'd probably make different choices myself. For example, where's "Exotica" or "Similau"? Also, this collection took 4 songs from the Quiet Village album (not including "Quiet Village" which also appeared on "Exotica"). My personal opinion is that the Quiet Village album was not Denny's best, certainly ranking below Exotica, Exotica II, Hypnotique, and Afro-Desia. We all would make different choices, this is certainly not a bad collection by any means. Also, you mentioned the inaccuracies of the Capitol collection. I'd love to see Denny's notes on all the inaccuracies! :-) However, I will point out that the Scamp version of Afro-Desia has an error in the liner notes; the Exotica album spent five weeks at #1, not Quiet Village album (at least, according to my sources). # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: cheryl Subject: Re: (exotica) Easy/Sequel Date: 23 Feb 1999 21:32:03 -0500 Peter Risser wrote: > > It's my understanding that there are various Sequel releases being slashed > to cut-out prices, some as low as four or five dollars. > In particular, I'm looking for: > The Easy Project (vol 1) > Sounds Orchestral: Meet James Bond > Highly Strung > John Schroeder: Space Age Soul > Joe Meek Presents Dusty Groove carries a lot of these titles.

I had a copy of Frank Sinatra's Close to You, which I probably bought for under $10 when it came out. I recently got the Capitol box so I had 2 copies. I'd heard this particular disc was out of print but I was shocked when the feeding frenzy drove the price up to $110! It was surreal, especially when you consider that Capitol will eventually re-release it and it's currently available in the box. If someone is so much a Sinatra freak to pay $110 for a used CD, why wouldn't they just spring for the box set? I also run an Ethel Merman website. It started out as a way to learn HTML back in 1996 but it's become somewhat of a source on the web for dear Ethel. I have no desire to buy all the expensive memorabilia on ebay, but I do want the photos for my site, so I download the photos, play with them in Photoshop and add them to my site. SOmetimes they do a tricky thing and you can't save the image because the source is HtML. The way around this to take a screen shot.

The way Barbarella sounds it is the ultimate "camp"film and I can't quite see how this could be managed with one of the musical alternatives you suggest, Nat. Let's face it. In the case of films like Barbarella and lots of biker films and hippy films too, they hired composers who they thought could give them a "hip" sound that matched their "hip" sensibility. Sometimes they got lucky and the composer actually came up with something that matched the film; sometimes the film was totally UN-hip but at least in retrospect, the music that the UN-hip composer came up with kind of fit the film. And sometimes there was a total disconnect between the film's concept of what was hip/cool/current and the composer's concept. If you think that Barbarella is a case of a filmmaker and composer getting lucky and having complementary concepts, I can't argue. But it's my opinion that if the music here works at all, it's an accident. I can't even say that I'm certain that the director was purposely going for a "camp" sensibility but I'm pretty sure the composer wasn't. That was pretty well the kind of music he was making at the time which is why, as cheryl pointed out, it sounded so familiar to me. He would have delivered that sound, I believe, no matter what the assignment was. But if it works for you, great. Your issue of "1 to 1" film music would be an interesting one to pursue some time. As far as I understand your use of that term, I would say that's the concept upon which the vast majority of scores are based and even if most of them are somewhat less than imaginative, they also usually "work". Mostly though I'm curious about your use of the word "camp". Usually something becomes a "camp classic" only in retrospect. If the music works for you NOW, that may not be much of a reflection on whether it was an appropriate choice at the time. I genuinely love lots of biker film soundtracks but mostly because of the lovely way that the crappy music and the crappy films - in retrospect only - complement each other.

The film is absolutely un- >compelling, but the music is gripping (as in many Blacksploitation flicks) On the one hand, I tell myself, I'm flogging a dead horse here. On the other hand, soundtracks come up on this list so often here, maybe it's interesting to have a bit of a discussion about their function in a film. As long as I don't get cheryl angry at me, I'll be happy. She and Brian have promised me an evening of Schlager music and some kind of complementary food - perhaps fondue??? - in the near future and I don't want to jeopardize that. I believe that Shaft is a perfect example of "1 to 1" film music that happened to really complement the film and made it better than it would have been. But maybe I don't know what you mean by "1 to 1". I think Isaac Hayes did a great job and I think he did a better job than most of the other blacksploitation composers because number one, he was more talented and number two, there was already a kind of "background music" sensibility in his work at the time. But I don't believe that Mr. Hayes was trying to create music that was a "counterpoint" to the film. I believe he was trying to absolutely match the sensibility, setting and ambience of the film itself. It just happened that his music was better than the film.

Date: 24 Feb 1999 00:33:54 -0500 It is a good thing that I had a Creative Loafing papaer in front of me, for I was reminded that Little Jimmy Scott was to be at Borders. There, they screened the Bravo documentary abbout his life and also, they had him there to perform several songs and there was an autograph session and a giveaway. So, for free, I thought that it would be worth it! The documentary gathers commentary from an eclectic bunch of people, Ruth Brown, David Lynch, Alec Baldwin (Scott sang at his wedding), Lou Reed (he was a guest on his Magic and Loss album), Rose Marie McCoy (writer of the fabulous "Gabbin' Blues") and his family, which included two of at least four of his ex-wives. For the uninitiated, Scott is a vocalist who has been working off and on since the 1940's and has a medical condition that keeps some of his anatomy from maturing, including his vocal cords, so his voice is rather high, not unlike a woman, but NOT like Marcy! Mr. Scott stepped up to the mike to perform. He was accompanied by the pianist Michael Canaan. From the first note (and a fair distance from the mike), he filled the room with his sweet balladry, sung powerfully. He sings verrrrry slowly, but do not take this as meaning that he does not swing (he does), he is dull (he isn't), or that it is easy to do (which it isn't! Ballads leave a musician naked to the world and they are quite hard to do plausibly). He sang, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child", which was sung with great depth of feeling, made greater by the fact he lost his mother when he was young, due to a drunk driver. He closed with, "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" (yes, the Elton John song!) and while I still don't care for the song, Scott transformed it and made it good. "Someone To Watch Over Me" brought everyone to their feet, however. The penultimate song of the set, he sang this song at Doc Pomus' funeral (and unwittingly netted a recording contract with Warner Brothers because of that) and it is clear that he truly feels deeply about this melody. Since some of you know my high regard of Jazz (there was a short thread some time back about my feelings about the term, "Crime Jazz"), you probably have gathered that I have equally strong feelings about giving the practioners their due. I have waited to hear Scott in person since I heard his record, "Evening in Paradise" on the Cosby Show, so that is about 13 years to get a day like this and I was not only not disappointed in the music, but the turn out was equally gratifying. The store was crawling with people of all ages (up to and including a boy named Cade, who invented the word "Buna") and I am sure Scott was pleased with the number of people that came out on a 30-degree night. One of the Borders employees said that this was the biggest attendance for a musical event ever for them! And if I wasn't already on Cloud Nine, I got a chance to shake his hand and found he was as gracious as he is talented. Plus, I may have a picture of me doing just that, if the guy in line sends the picture as he says he is going to! A perfect capper to Black History Month. Now, here is the plug and question section: 1. Borders (http://www.borders.com) is selling "Bravo Profiles A Jazz Master: Little Jimmy Scott" the CD, while excellent, has NO notes at all. Do buy it, do! I have discerned that these songs are drawn from two sessions while he was with Atlantic form 1969 and 1972, which can also be found on "Lost and Found", but this collection is cheaper and has two more songs! Incidentally, these recordings are rare, due to the fact that Herman Lubinsky (everybody now, Hochh, PTOO!) of Savoy Records, used legal muscle to see that these recordings were rescinded or never released. 2. This brings me to my question. Scott recounts that one of his favorite albums just barely saw the light of day, "Falling In Love is Beautiful" on Tangerine, because Herman Lubinsky (K-kwop, PTOO!) suppressed the release of that one, too. Does anyone have a tape of this? Will gladly trade a tape of this of something with anyone. I may have something you want. Thanks. To relate this to Exotica, his voice is rather odd, the orchestration lush and let's say he in the Mid-to-High Yma Sumac range!

By "1 to 1" I mean to express in the music what you already see in the picture, I think I had said that. And as you say, this is a very common thing and I don't see many film composers these days who are not aware of it. Like when a person approaches a dangerous situation the music will sound alarming as long as s/he isn't already in trouble. "1 to 1" would be absolute silence in that situation as not to warn the bad guys or the monster the person is hiding from. If "the others" suddenly notice him/her, usually "action music" will start, or plain silence. As I said, this is so common that you don't notice it anymore, and you hardly ever see a different use of film music anymore. Now, for the general style of a music for a given film something similar is the case - and here you see big differences in quality even these days. The most famous example of a "counterpoint" film music is of course Kubrick's "2001": The first scene that shows a high tech space craft is illustrated by this really old-fashioned 19th century waltz "An der schoenen blauen Donau" by Strauss. The actual picture is out there in cold space showing this profane piece of engineering and you hear the soothing romantic melody of a K.u.K. dancehall. It is a counterpoint, in the sense of you wouldn't expect this soundtrack here. And of course it "works" because when you bring these elements together they "fit" telling a whole new story, the story of human ingeniuity that is able to bring his natural environment into inhospitable worlds and conducts complicated technical machines lightly as an orchestra that plays a waltz, so you literally forget that it is technique at all. I'm surprised you don't see similar musical forces at work in "Shaft". I must admit, my memory of the film is a bit vague, as I have seen it a long time ago, but as far as I can remember, the very glamorous music makes an interesting contrast to the dirty work in the most unglamorous places this detective has to do. And this makes also the success of the figure Shaft himself: Everybody would like to be gloryfied like this, like being a glamorous person in the ordinary things one does everyday. Often you see meant-to-be funny films that work with "funny" music and so often it is not funny at all and looks so cheap: Cases of "1 to 1" that failed. But when you see a clown doing funny things to really sad music, it can touch you deeply.... A very refined understanding of film music you find in "The Outsiders". Carmine Coppola almost doesn't do any film music at all. Although you hear music nearly all the time, it becomes pure noise. Like in this scene, when this boy runs away from home and meets his friend in the park you hear very low volume main stream rock as coming from a nearby house or a car. It's absolutely not the kind of music that expresses fear and loneliness, but still it works like this here, because it expresses that "the others" are having fun somewhere in their houses and the two boys don't belong to them anymore and are outsiders now. > Mostly though I'm curious about your use of the word "camp".

I knew you would ask that. I was almost done with my explanation until I deleted it, because I thought, this has been explained too often.

I'm pretty sure the camp aspect was intended in Barbarella, even if they had not called it camp. But everything that happens fits so perfectly in what I think is "camp", that I'm not able to believe it's all pure coincidence. It's all so iridescent and dazzling. The images of space machinery is always broken into phantastic, often old-fashioned looks. The fur-inside of Barbarella's ship is the ultimate contradiction to high-tech. Behind all of this you can almost hear the message: Yes, we are using the damn technology of those blockheaded burocratic engineers, but we don't care for it, we care for our own glamorous styling. Even the fact that the film isn't so dramatic adds to the general feeling of arrogance that is a typical camp attitude, like saying: Entertain you? Why? If WE are not interesting enough ourselves, go away and watch another movie! You mentioned the trippy aspect: Same here: We go on a trip, but we don't admit it. It's not the drug, it's us who is so psychedelic, because we are so strange and beautiful. Even the bad black queen is so beautiful that we kind of love her, etc. I would call all of this a very campy pose. Although I must admit "camp" has been a difficult term to explain since it came up, because it seems to be in its own nature to try to escape from all kinds of fixations.

My personal opinion is that the Quiet Village album was not Denny's best, certainly ranking below Exotica, Exotica II, Hypnotique, and Afro-Desia. It is very difficult to do a best of with so many albums and so many great tunes. Collections always bring some personal bias with them.

However, there's always been something slightly ridiculous about its application to caterwauling R&B-pop queens Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. So who can blame Capitol Records for pushing that ludicrous aspect to the limit by using the word retroactively for female performers from the past? That's just what the label has cleverly -- and delightfully -- done for the new compact disc, ``Divas Exotica.'' The ``Divas'' part of the title might be highly questionable, considering some of the chosen artists -- from Marlene Dietrich to Shirley Bassey to, gulp, Jayne Mansfield. But ``Exotica'' certainly fits this madcap mix of the seductively sultry and the downright silly. The CD producers' aim is clearly not art but campy amusement, even when involving such legendary vocalists as Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Nina Simone -- and definitely regarding rarely heard singles sung (or, sometimes, half-talked, half-purred) by '50s sex goddesses Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Mamie Van Doren. Scattered among these 19 tracks are a few comparatively serious, standard recordings -- Piaf's bowl-you-over rendering of ``Jezebel'' (translated into French by Charles Aznavour), a softly swaying ``So Nice (Summer Samba)'' by Astrud Gilberto that's as alluring as her hit ``The Girl from Ipanema,'' a saucier-than-usual Holiday urging her man to ``Do Your Duty,'' Bassey's always-impressive but too-familiar ``Goldfinger'' and a couple of high-spirited goodies from the great jazz-blues chanteuse Simone (``Forbidden Fruit,'' ``Feeling Good''), the only performer represented by more than one song. For the most part, though, ``Divas Exotica'' is frothy celebration of camp. And while the overall touch is definitely light, it's surprising how passable (or better) much of the singing is by several actresses who were certainly more accustomed to a film studio than a recording studio. For instance, even though it's almost three minutes into ``Heatwave'' (from the soundtrack of ``There's No Business Like Show Business'') before Monroe actually starts singing (before that she merely sighs occasional sweet nothings to the male chorus), she essays Irving Berlin's witty lines in a manner that's as solid as it is sexy. Even better than Monroe is Ann-Margret, whose ``Let Me Entertain You'' is smart, sassy and smooth as silk. Likewise, Loren handles the lilting ``Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo'' (from a picture she made with Peter Sellers, ``The Millionairess'') with breezy charm. Brigitte Bardot belts out ``Je Me Donne a Qui Me Plait'' (which translates as ``I Give Myself to Whom I Please'') with swinging sureness. And Carmen Miranda sails with ease through the swift Latin currents of ``Mama Eu Quero (I Want My Mama)'' -- which won't jolt folks who know she was one of Brazil's most popular recording artists before moving to Hollywood, but may be revealing for those who never got past her wild costumes and goofy screen demeanor to realize what an accomplished singer she was. Chiefly chosen for laughs, and sure to get them, are Mansfield's ``That Makes It,'' a breathy take-off on the Big Bopper's ``Chantilly Lace,'' and Van Doren's dumbing down of Caribbean music in a piece of fluff called ``Go, Go, Calypso.'' More in the category of interesting curiosities are Yma Sumac's ``La Molina'' and Maya Angelou's ``Since Me (CQ) Man Has Done Gone and Went.'' Sumac claimed to be a Peruvian descended from Inca royalty, though it was rumored she was born and raised in Brooklyn. In any case, she gained considerable popularity in the early '50s because of her four-octave range and truly exotic recordings. ``La Molina'' perfectly illustrates her still-vital cult appeal. She starts out by emitting deep, ominous growls, moves on to flowery declarations, and then soars up to soprano heights. It may shock fans of Angelou to know that before she became a world-acclaimed poet, author, teacher, actor, film director and much else, she made an album, ``Miss Calypso,'' back in 1957. The acceptable but unimpressive excerpt included here will make those fans happy she moved on to other pursuits. The Angelou anomaly isn't the only letdown on ``Divas Exotica.'' Dietrich, once a superb, sensual vocalist, was obviously a prima donna well past her prime by the time she recorded ``Near You'' in 1947. Same goes for Josephine Baker's relatively late-in-life ``Don't Touch My Tomatoes,'' though the risque number's still fairly lively fun. Eartha Kitt is far from being at her best on a mannered, tiresome rendition of ``Let's Misbehave.'' And April Stevens, best known for her 1963 hit duet, ``Deep Purple,'' with Nino Tempo (they were brother and sister -- real names Carol and Antonio LoTempo), sounds pretty weak on her own ``Teach Me Tiger,'' recorded two years earlier. All in all, though, ``Divas Exotica'' is a delicious, if daffy, delight.

More realistically 8-10 albums on a CD-R, is still a pretty nice idea for those of use who are mass consumers of music. Take a few songs from each and fry up a compilation audio CD to fit your many moods. Plus with a little scanning, and OCR software you can tuck the album art and liner notes for each album on the CD-R, too.

Thanks in advance... Allan Personally, I'm not crazy about any of these in their entirety, except "Revenge of Mister Mopoji", but that's just me! One that is soooooooooooper terrific release though, not mentioned (which I have for sale on CD.) is the "Dave Pike Set-Got the Feelin'". A true original rarity released in Holland, circa 1969, of a limited pressing of 1000 copies, vinyl. It's Jazzy Go Go Sounds featuring Vibes (Dave Pike), Elec. Gtr, Fender Bass, Drums and Organ. SOOPER COOL! with "Spooky", which someone heard me play on my show and bought fro me on the spot. 5 Stars. Desco has also just released (which I carry) "Spike's Choice", which is a 22 track collection of ALL of the limited to 1000 pressings, which by the way are ALL out of print of their 45's, which include 4 Sitar funk go go instrumentals. 5 Stars! It's im-poss-i-ble to get closer to that authentic 70's funk sound from anywhere in THIS modern world, than from Desco. PURE FUNK, NO BULL. Both are $14 each plus shipping, if you're interested Jack # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: Re: (exotica) Desco et al Date: 24 Feb 1999 16:52:39 +0000 Sugarman Three is a nice boogaloo LP - Sounds authentic but it could easily be new dressed as old. Not really exotica at all but not bad if you're into that sound: James Brown in the mid sixties meets R&B/hammond grooves. Cool-ish. The Revenge of Mr Mopoji is definately new music - not an original soundtrack. Average JBs style funkiness with no outstanding tracks - nothing special. Dave Pike's Got the Feeling is an outstanding LP though, although I didn't realise it was on the same label. Euro-jazz collectors go mad for this one - the original has a very hefty price tag - very cool. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) The City!

Got the accordian primed up and the lederhosen and Heino glasses ready... along with that great LP Allan sent me of the singing waiters from the centennial project of Winnipeg's German communty in 1970. A real crowd pleaser!!! Seriously though, I do intend to take this opportunity to sell Nat on Schlager and I do think some of it would be of serious interest to fellow exoticans but for the fact that here in Canada at least, it is not easy to find. I've never been able to give the term an adequate translation into English but maybe Moritz can help. I'm discovering what is kind of the French equivalent of Schlager (they use the term "Ye-Ye" which is equally untranslateable) at a feverish rate as there is a massive amount of reissue material coming out which we find everywhere here in Montreal. Looks like the presure is now on us! I think Moritz wrote this: > I think good film music never illustrates a movie 1 to 1; it rather adds >the things that you cannot see, sometimes to an extend that it literally >becomes the opposite of what you see. I've had similar discusssions with both Nat & Moritz on the role of soundtracks within films and we all had differing opinions somehow. I still feel many soundtracks stand up by themselves alone and just the same, many films stand away from their soundtracks. But sometimes they just click!

Speaking of exotica made to order, let me remind you all that Johan DaDa Vis's FANTASTICA #5 in a highly compressed MP3 format is still available for download/streaming at http://www.xtabay.com It's one of my favorites - it's cut together with some Stan Freeberg bits and WILD ASS piano along with other musical bisquits that will make you jump for joy!

But a concert promoter is hoping to coax an international roster of pop stars into chartered 747s over the South Pacific. The idea: Hold a celebratory festival in New Zealand, which will be one of the first places on Earth to greet the year 2000, and then head for Hawaii in time to do it all over again. The plan is to have two linked events in each locale -- a concert featuring major pop acts and native New Zealand and Hawaiian artists, and a special edition of the Warped tour, the annual youth-skewed trek featuring punk and ska bands with an extreme sports theme. The former is being organized by Michael Chugg, head of Australian booking agency Frontier, to be held on a plot of sacred land owned by the Maori tribe overlooking Auckland Harbor. ``The idea is to have one big act on at midnight, and another on at 5:20 a.m., which will be first light, coinciding with a flotilla of ships coming through the harbor,'' says Chugg. ``And then we'd throw everyone on a plane and go to Hawaii and do it again.'' Chugg says he's in negotiation with several artists, but he won't say who. One focus of speculation, though, has been Sting -- an artist with global appeal and an interest in the tribal culture and spiritual elements meant to be underscored in this event. Sting's publicist, Kathy Schenker, says that the singer, currently working on a new album, has expressed an interest in staying home with his family at New Year. Schenker says she has no knowledge of an offer for the Pacific events. Warped organizer Kevin Lyman has been approached by Chugg and is considering the prospect. The tour usually heads down under that time of year anyway. ``Everyone's trying to talk me out of it, worried about the airlines,'' says Lyman. ``But I was very high on the idea. It was a grueling tour this year, though, and adding something like that might be too much. So I'm not sure what I'll do at this time.''

I've thought of asking that very question for a while now. I can report the "The Hal Leonard Real Jazz Book" and "The Ultimate Jazz Fakebook" (also from Hal Leonard Corp.) both include pretty good helpings of exotica/ space-age/ now-sound standards. I guess they should hit a decent amount purely statistically, with 1125+ songs between the two of them. No duplication between the books (they say). I only have the "Real Jazz" volume, which among many gems includes "Caravan", with the complete original lyrics. Hey -- I just noticed "Wives & Lovers" is in here! A dozen Jobim tunes too. And "Mission Impossible". And many more... But no "Quiet Village". If anyone knows of a book that's really heavy on the list-centric material, I'd like to hear about it too.

Even black-velvet painting....often mass-produced, garish and featuring weeping elvises and bleeding bullfighters, velvet art is synonymous with kitsch. But now its gaining respectability, or at least the art of the late American expatriate Edgar Leeteg is. "Leeteg coined everything that we think of today as velvet," says John Turner, co-curator of a museum show of black-velvet painting that runs until April 4 at the Huntington Beach Art Center in CA. "He is the Rembrandt of black velvet." The exhibition, titled "A Rascal in Paradise," after the book by James Michener that devotes a chapter to Leeteg, features 14 paintings and a grass-canopied bamboo tiki bar. At the opening the curators wore leis. Is the exhibition just a fluke? Not according to David Price, who co-founded Seattle's Museum of Velvet Painting a year ago. His museum...is showing in nightclubs until it finds a permanent home. "I have a passion for it," he says. "It might just be a fetish." Mr. Turner credits renewed interest in Leeteg to "a rebirth of the Polynesian tiki movement," that 1950s decorative homage to the South Pacific. Think umbrella-topped drinks, ukelele music and bamboo-framed paintings of hula girls, a popular theme with the artist. Leeteg was a minor celebrity in the South Pacific, as much for his wild ways as for his artwork. In a letter to his art dealer he described himself as a "fornicating, gin-soaked dopehead." Collectors prefer to call him..."the American Gaugin." The artist sold his first painting in 1933 for $4 and a sandwich. Prices rose to about $15,000 after his death in the 1950s, when Michener immortalized him...Today, his works would bring about $5,000. Would Leeteg have approved of his newfound museum respectability? He once wrote, "I frankly would rather have my paintings displayed in a gin mill...than buried up with the rest of dead art." END Whoda thunk it? Ok wheeler dealers, hit the thrifts and then on to E-Bay. My main question though is why does the exhibit need co-curators? Day and night bartenders?

"The job of any record label should be to reach out to a given artist's fans by any means necessary," said Jonathan Poneman, co-founder and CEO of Sub Pop. "Let others debate the so-called MP3 controversy; Sub Pop is ready to do it's job." Sub Pop gained notoriety in the late 80s with early releases by Seattle rock staples Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney, as well as national bands Afghan Whigs, L7, Reverend Horton Heat, and countless others. This arrangement with MP3.com will highlight Sub Pop's current roster, releasing single tracks from the label's new breed of successful artists. The initial offering of downloadable tracks will include: Saint Etienne, "Sylvie" (radio edit)- from Good Humor More than just a band, Saint Etienne has become something of a sensation, gaining new fans at an alarming rate. Saint Etienne will be turning heads and wooing the masses in Spring, as they embark on their first comprehensive U.S. tour. The Pernice Brothers, "Overcome By Happiness" - from Overcome By Happiness The Pernice Brothers have been embraced by critics and fans alike with their debut release, Overcome By Happiness. The album was named in several year-end top ten lists, including The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and Magnet. The Murder City Devils, "I Want A Lot Now (So Come On)" - from Empty Bottles Broken Hearts Whether playing small clubs or sharing an arena's stage with Pearl Jam, The Murder City Devils gain hundreds of new fans nightly, as people flock to the stage to revel in the band's literally fiery performances. Combustible Edison, "Laura's Aura" - from Impossible World Combustible Edison spent 1997 recording Impossible World, which sees the band maintaining their trademark easy listening / lounge pop sound, while adding an electronic edge. "Clearly, Sub Pop understands that to market music, one must go to the music buyers. Sub Pop has a rich history in the music industry and their progressive approach to music marketing while embracing the Internet, coupled with their excellent roster, positions them well for the future," said Michael Robertson, digital music guru and CEO of MP3.com. MP3.com is the number one music download site on the Internet, logging millions of monthly visitors in search of great, new music and news of the ever-burgeoning digital music revolution. MP3.com has exploded exponentially over the last year as music lovers have discovered the future of music delivery. The site is the clear and undisputed leader in providing MP3 formatted music to consumers. The Webby-nominated MP3.com hosts tens of thousands of songs from many thousands of artists available for download in the MP3 audio format. MP3.com has busily championed artists' rights while facilitating many tens of millions of legal downloads -- over 14 million to date. Sub Pop Records expects to release more tracks with MP3.com as part of the effort to broaden it's artists' exposure via improving technologies.

In general, none of these cd's live up to the hype of the liner notes found on the back of each one. I haven't heard the Spike's Choice compilation, but I have a feeling that by virtue of its variety and (I assume) "best picks" aspect since the songs were originally released as singles, its probably the one to get.

She accepted her trophy with thankfulness and humor. When the first of her 11 grandchildren was born, Page noted backstage that her family members asked what they should call her. ``Grammy,'' Page replied, ``because I'll never get one. Now they can call me grandma.'' *------ LOS ANGELES (AP) -- If anyone should get an award for lasting through the changing times, it's Burt Bacharach, who has won a Grammy in three different decades. He received his first in 1967, two in 1969 and another in 1986 before winning again this year. ``It's really very significant for me and my work as I have been able to span as many decades -- I'd like to go another 10,'' he said. This year he and singer Elvis Costello won for best pop collaboration with vocals for ``I Still Have That Other Girl.'' ``I can't say I've learned any of Burt's secrets because I can't write like him,'' said Costello, who has gained fame for pop songs like ``Veronica.'' Costello said the two have enjoyed working together and just finished recording music for the upcoming ``Austin Powers'' sequel the night before the ceremony. ``This has been among the most exciting things I have ever done,'' Costello said. ``It was great to sit at the piano and write together.'' # 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: "Rajnai, Charles, NPG" Subject: RE: (exotica) Sheet music Date: 25 Feb 1999 12:41:16 -0500 > Came across this place where you can download sheet music (including > individual pieces). > > Looks interesting. > > http://sunhawk.com > This place would be cool if they had a bigger library....thanx for the lead. surfing the chaos, Charlieman # 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: "Marco \"Kallie\" Kalnenek" Subject: Re: (exotica) Schlager/Ye-Ye Date: 25 Feb 1999 19:13:29 +0100 Brian Karasick wrote: > I've never been able to give the > term [Schlager] an adequate translation into English > I'm discovering > what is kind of the French equivalent of Schlager (they use the term "Ye-Ye" which is > equally untranslateable) I don't think the French 'Ye-Ye' is the equivalent of the Schlager.

But I just had to share yesterday's vinyl karma experience with somebody who might appreciate it! I told my wife about it, but she just thinks I'm nuts. Yesterday, I went into my local used record emporium - an ENORMOUS cavern of a place with (supposedly) over two million records in stock and where they never met an inflated price they didn't like (you can buy a beat-to-hell mono copy of "African Jazz" for $150--I'm not kidding!). Decided to rummage around in the ethnic music section, hoping maybe the staff price gouger hadn't made it that far. While going through the "Far East" section I ran across an apparently unplayed (and unpriced) stereo copy of "Orienta" by the Markko Polo Adventurers. I strolled up to the front (a three day hike), shoved it in front of the serial killer behind the cash register and said "How much for this?". His eyes lit up. He said, "Ooh, Living Stereo! And unplayed, too. Wow!" My heart sank. I knew what was coming next. After hemming and hawing for a minute, he looked up and said, "Seven- ninety-eight?". Knowing this place, that could very well mean seven- HUNDRED-and ninety-eight dollars, so I coolly asked, "Seven DOLLARS and ninety-eight cents?". "Yeah," he answered. "That okay?" I quickly coughed up the dough and beat it out the door, not quite believing my incredible luck. For those of you who find these kind of bargains all the time, this might not seem like a very big deal. But around here, you just don't see stuff like this and, if you do, you can bet you'll have to take out a second mortgage to buy it. This copy of "Orienta" looks like it's never felt the stylus before. Absolute stone mint beauty! I also bagged a sealed stereo copy of Roger King Mozian's famous "El Twist". So take a serial killer to lunch this week. Maybe he's got some records in the basement he'll sell cheap.

Date: 25 Feb 1999 11:26:30 -0800 Just got the Moon Gas/Twilight Zone two-fer a couple of days ago from Jack Diamond. and All I can say Is WOW! Can you believe I had never heard Moon Gas before? (Well I can't) And the timing! I had been playing with running backround sounds on web pages the night before, and thought that it would be fun to loop something as music-bed toa web page. It was late and I was out of steam, so I quit. The next day my package arrived, and as soon as the cd tray closed I FUCKIN JUMPED OUT OF MY SKIN! I fired up the Soundedit16, and in 5 minutes had a peerfect loop of the first few bars of Moon Gas. In ten more minutes it was up on the site and incorporated into the background of my "streaming audio" page. I mention this for a two reasons: 1) to hip y'all to a great record 2) to find out if this sound file is being heard. 1) What can I say? Dick Hyman + the ethereal and beeyoooteeeful voice of Mary Mayo. It's freaky and quirky and electonic-y and FUN! I also got the Celebs at their worst vol 1 and 2. I read the posts about #2 being a little thin, but I have not had a chance to listen yet. Vol 1 is a freakin' riot. I love stuff like that. 2) I have been getting a lot of hits on the site (and nobody knows about it but the list) , but not much feedback. I'm interested in finding out if the streaming audio is working okay, and at what speeds. Theoretically a 28.8 modem would receive the Fantastica! stream, but would like to hear your experience. Also, the Moon Gas loop Should play automatically when a user accesses the "streaming" page - I think this might be browser-dependant and am therefore quite interested in hearing if it's working for you. If you have not been to the page to sample the hour-long Mp3 stream of Fantastica! do yourself a favor and make time to do it. You will be astounded by this excellent program.

And for those lawyer types who are out there, I could easily cut my own CD with a CD burner, but I'd rather buy the original. Don't know why. So, now I know for sure I want to get the Baxter 2 disc set (whereas before it wasn't even on my list), but I want to stay away from "You Can Be Wrong About Boys." Before I don't think I would have bought either, but I might have picked YCBWAB at cut-out price, just because it's on sequel. Now I can be a well-informed consumer. Also, I have used them to create my own "Greatest Hits" compilations, although for decidedly non-Exotica groups, where a nice, single disc Greatest Hits disc just doesn't exist. It's handy.

Mp3 does squish some of the magic out of the recording to be sure. Regular Cd's also currently enjoy almost total ubiquity, whereas Mp3 compressed files can only be played on a computer of a RIO player. # 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: Nat Kone Subject: Re: (exotica) Howabout Hayman Date: 25 Feb 1999 16:13:25 -0500 At 10:35 AM 2/25/99 -0500, laura.taylor@us.pwcglobal.com wrote: > >I feel fortunate to have Richard Hayman's VOODO,and GENUINE ELECTRIC LATIN >LLLOOOVVVVE MACHINE...However, I was wondering what else from his "golden >era" is worth getting?

Those who really believe that would have to say the same about some of the most widely heard music of the 20th century, including thriller-movie soundtracks, television commercial jingles and video-game music. But American cultural eccentrics are cherished fantasy figures, and Scott's reputation has been adorned with a gold-plated question mark. In fact, the work of this Brooklyn-raised son of Russian immigrants, composed mostly between the 1930's and the 60's, was totally graspable -- funny, invention-obsessed in the time of Rube Goldberg, and cleverly mirroring innovations both from Ellington and Stravinsky. He was a natural tone-painter, composing multi-part pieces that suggested car chases or machines gone haywire, and his best-known miniatures -- those that were used for Warner Brothers cartoons in the 30's -- gracefully negotiate a path between art for art's sake and incidental music. Even if you don't know which commercial bin to put his work in, your brain knows exactly how to enjoy it. At the Jewish Museum on Monday night, Irwin Chusid, the director of the Raymond Scott Archive, was host of a marvelously tight 90-minute Scott program that included seven selections played by a live sextet* as well as a biographical slide show and some video clips featuring Scott's music. The program offered a multidimensional view of Scott -- from his jazz-related compositions for the Raymond Scott Quintette (which, naturally, had six members), like "Powerhouse" and "Oil Gusher," to some of his electronic music. The electronic music, heard behind some commercials from the 1960's for car batteries and detergent (which were screened for the audience), didn't try to soothe the consumer with cuteness: they were exercises in tone color, sometimes spooky and nerve-racking. Finally there was a recently unearthed film made by Jim Henson in 1967 called "The Organized Mind," about taking a walk through one's mind to see where desires, memories and fears are stashed. Scott's electronic soundtrack perfectly suggested a laboratory experiment gone awry. At least as much as he was a composer, Scott was an inventor, and Monday night's live band reflected that in some strange instruments brought along by Brian Dewan. One was an electric zither, played with a bottleneck slide. For the climax of "Powerhouse" he rhythmically passed a battery-operated vacuum cleaner over the instrument's electric pickups, creating a whooshing sound. But Scott's music wasn't just quaintly humorous. It was curious, during Scott's "Peter Tambourine," featuring Michael Hashim on soprano saxophone, to notice how close the sirenlike motifs and jarring structures approached the sound of Steve Lacy's jazz sextet from the 1980's. In the band's new arrangements, by the accordionist Will Holshouser and pianist Wayne Barker (which, unlike Scott's, included a bit of improvising), one heard both the 30's and the present. * There were actually seven musicians, but in Scottian musical mathmatics that *would* be a sextet! - Lou # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) Movie Trailer Music Date: 25 Feb 1999 14:34:02 -0800 (PST) On Uni Disc/Sonic 1998, comes John Beal Trailer Music, "Coming Soon" This looks to be original movie trailer music from over 60 films on 2 cds, priced cheap.

At the moment I don't own a CD to CD recorder and probably won't until the price gets down around $150.00 USD. On occasion I have made audio CDs on my computer to give to folks, but I tend to copy CDs for my personal use to mp3 mostly because it's faster and takes up much less space then coping an audio CD to wav/aiff files and then burning a CD from that. At the highest variable bit rate setting (150-240 kbits) for mp3 encoding and using Xing software, the high end audio quality doesn't really get effected, (although certain dogs might lose a few notes here and there), and the file size is still pretty damn small. I have had a few weird cases were certain high pitched harmonics caused some encoding problems, but it's only happened a couple of times and only when ripping off one of my CD-ROM drives. Since I've got my computer hooked into my stereo receiver I don't really need the audio CD and if I want to listen to something in the car I can easily go from mp3 to cassette.

My name is Kevin. I've been enjoying and learning from everyone's posts on the Exotica mailing list for a few days now. My tastes are toward electronic/organ/synth music. I have little interest in music leaning toward Easy Listening. There's nothing easy about making music worth listening to. My all time favorite album, of which I have no copy and can't remember the title, is one by George Segal which has more Umph, spirit, and joy than any other record ever recorded. The guy has so damn much fun playing and it comes through so well! Capitol's Ultra-Lounge set has captured that for the most part. The recordings are versions of songs by people truly enjoying their craft! At this time I'm merely a consumer of this type of music. My web pages will soon contain links to many of your sites. I hope to be able to contribute something to this group in the future. I'm pleasantly surprised to find many of you are AOL members. I am too, my pages are located in their web-space. I often use AOL Instant Messenger (AIM for short) when not actually on AOL under the name Ohyes937. Oh=Ohio, yes=937 on the phone dial, 937=my area code. I chose that name to reflect my home town and state, which I am happy with if not always proud of. ;-) http://members.aol.com/ohyes937 http://members.aol.com/kbonnett Email maybe sent to either of those addresses as well as this one. kbonnett@coax.net Kbonnett@aol.com Ohyes937@aol.com How did I 'get into' lounge? Cross an elephant and a rhino! 'Elephino! Actually, I have an idea of how it developed. I only mention it because it rather snuck up on me and caught me completely by surprise. I was CD shopping one day and the UltraLounge Leopard Skin Sampler (Purple & Gold version) caught my eye. I bought it only for the excellent cover. Upon listening, I found I'd opened a Pandora's box. I've been addicted ever since, but it goes back further than that. If anyone's interested, maybe we can discuss the 'roots' of our Exotica/Lounge tastes. I work in a used book store where we sell back issues of Playboy. I think the imagery, ads, etc. played a large part in steering me this direction. Finally, I was wondering if anyone knows of online chats with an Exotica/Lounge twist. I don't mean chats ABOUT it, but a chat that captures the mood and flavor of it. Any ideas for such a thing? It's an interest of mine and any thoughts would be appreciated. : ) Oops, I almost forgot... Re: UltraLounge bonus tracks, featuring "The Continental". I recall at least two 80's episodes of Saturday Night Live in which Christopher Walken played this character. The gag was that he was so suave but totally out of synch with the times. I believe he played the character a bit out of character as well. His dates, if I recall correctly, ran for the door near the end of the skits. My memory is not perfect, just pretty darn good. Anyone? Help me out with this one. Ciao 4 now!

On one hand I half follow the philosophy of folks like MP3.com who believe the record industry needs to change to deal with the existence of home digital reproduction, be it CD to CD recorders, DAT, mp3, mp4 and other formats, instead of trying to outlaw it. Nearly every one of us has taped an album or made a comp for a friend, and I doubt that there were many calls made to lawyers prior to making these copies. Unless you're a hermit, part of the enjoyment of music is sharing it with other people, it's a fact of life. The technology to copy records has been there since the mass production of tape recorders, so it's not so much about IF people will copy or not. What is Phillips claiming that people will do with the Phillips CD recorder. One of their TV commercial has a young man giving a DJ at a club a comp CD that the young man made on his frickin' Phillips CD recorder. That ain't home taping and it sure ain't personal use. Do you think, it's all public domain music? Maybe it's his own band? Do you think the young man called his lawyer before running down to the club in the commercial? What message do our good friends at Phillips want us to walk away with? Questions, questions, questions. Who's got the answers? Who's got more questions? Lay 'um on me. Lay 'um on us all, baby!

After this, it's really clear to me that the whole music distribution business is going to get turned inside out within the next few years. I hadn't played with MP3's any before--but I was pretty skeptical that you could squash the byte size down by 11:1 without doing something pretty savage to the sound quality. So when Lou posted about ComEd's "Laura's Aura" being available, I thought, OK, this is the perfect chance to compare it directly to the CD and see how bad it really is. To make it a fair comparison, I extracted the uncompressed CD audio onto my hard disk, and used SoundApp (mac) to listen to both soundfiles through headphones. I'm stunned. They're virtually indistinguishable. The only weirdness I could notice right away was that when Miss Lili takes in a breath, it sounds steady on the CD but "quivers" slightly on the MP3. (Of course on this particular song, any extra "shimmering" would be pretty unnoticeable.) Now over my modem this still took about half an hour to download, so it's not super-practical as a routine way to get music at the moment. . . but modems are a technology dinosaur in the long run. . . The other mind-blower was that one of the listees sent me a one-off CDR of Bernie Green's Stereo Action _Futura_, plus Hugo Montenegro's _Lady In Cement_ soundtrack. (Despite my insane gratitude--you know who you are-- I think I'll leave this person anonymous for the moment.) _Cement_ is one wild LP, incidentally. . . kind of Zappa meets Bacharach, lurching from heavy fuzztone to delicate harpsichord. To my ears, this sounded great--basically a perfect reproduction of what you would hear playing the vinyl. Plus glossy color inserts with the original cover art! So, we're at a point when virtually pro-quality duplication can come out of somebody's desktop computer.

I may have inadvertantly sent it off when I corresponded with you over the past week or so. Thankfully, I received notification from some friends that this occurred. As a result, I wanted to pass along some info about how to detect it and remove it. If you have NOT executed the file attached to my email message, called HAPPY99.EXE, then all you need to do is delete the message. Otherwise, you need to read the info that follows to learn how to remove it before it spreads even further. Briefly, if you had opened up an attachment that displayed fireworks on your screen, then you were more than likely infected. Any email or newsgroup postings you have sent out since were probably infected. Below are links to Norton's and McAfee's Anti-virus Websites that contain more detailed info about the Virus and how it propogates. I have included basic steps on removing the Virus (worm) also. Removing the worm manually: left * delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE * delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL * replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA ( you can not be online when you do this step) * delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE SYMANTEC (Norton) <http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/happy99.worm.html Network Associates (McAfee) <http://beta.nai.com/public/datafiles/valerts/vinfo/w32ska.asp Sorry about that folks.

The old concept that you are >going to pay to own the object looks to be in real trouble here. . . I think the object will always be important to me and to others as crazy as me. On the other hand, you can get to the point where you just want to hear so many different things that you can't insist on the object anymore. For me, even breaking down and buying a reissued CD represents giving in to the fact that I can't always have the object. But it's always better for me when I have the object. I know that on some level it doesn't make sense but the music is never really enough on its own. I'm not sure I see how a different mode of music delivery will change the music business that much. There will always be a group of people who go out of their way to find the specific music that pleases them and another group who take what's offered. The music business is mostly about the latter group, I think. Maybe when "searching out" music becomes easier - assuming that online shopping IS easier - a few people will leave behind the group that accepts what's offered and will become the searching types. But for that to happen in significant numbers, I believe would require quite a significant change in the culture in general. In 2030 or 2010 - whenever it will happen - and people can come into their house and just say the name of a song and have it play, it'll still probably be the lovely tones of Celine Dion that emerge from their invisible speakers.

Date: 27 Feb 1999 10:01:27 -0800 Anyone have/heard this 1 yet ? GenevaTHOMAS, PETER: Kriminal Filmmusik CD (PRUD 6533).=20 "Original soundtrack recordings by the Peter Thomas Sound-Orchester for a series of Crime Dramas by noted director Edgar Wallace (keep repeating to yourself, mantra style, 'Klaus Kinski... Klaus Kinski... Klaus...') dated 1961-1966. This music predates the already proven Raumpatrouille themes by quite a few years, and fails not to raise a few hairs/hackles within the dermal structure/spinal column of prospective auditioneers. Those w/o a taste for the finer points in life (bumper cars, ripe malangas, flag day...) need not shed an ounce of moisture pining over the relative importance of these leitmotives as compared to, say, Can. I can't think of a single individual who can resist crime-related mouth emittance (screaming, death moans, gangster yalps, etc..) & their resultant overtones (post-echoplex) gracing the 'space' throughout druggy/spiralled (& often dissonant) beat-jazz/plated E-bass epics. No one. Completely in it's own element/orbit. You're all looking ten years to late for the 'meat'. Classy. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) New Peter Thomas ?

If this is the music of the Edgar Wallace films it has been available on vinyl for quite a while. It came in a greyish cover that showed a big eye painted by M.C.Escher - quite unfitting. My judgement on the music is rather positive, in general I like the Edgar Wallace pieces better than the Raumpatrouille things, except for the title melody of course. All in all it is giving a very good example of early German post-war "Krimi"-film-music of the 50s and 60s. Be glad you haven't seen Kinski playing in those films.

It's essentially like a celebrity compilation tape swap. They've asked Hunter S Thompson, Ralph Steadman, Ivor Cutler, Robert Crumb, Gerry Anderson, Peter "Hate" Bagge, Gilbert "Fat Freddy's Cat" Shelton, Iain Banks, Clive Barker and Savage Pencil each to put together a CD of their favourite music (picked I gather from EMI's back catalogue). The project is an idea of EMI's Ciara Nolan. I have to say I think this is a great idea - I haven't seen a complete track-listing for any of the CDs but the Ivor Cutler and Savage Pencil CDs look particularly interesting, with Cutler's including "African rhythms, folk dances, Japanese classical music" and a couple of Cutler's own pieces. Savage Pencil's has Duke Ellington mixing into Sun Ra, Vivian Stanshall and Quicksilver Messenger Service(!) amongst others. And, no, I don't know what's on the Gerry Anderson one! Each of the contributors has also had artistic control over the packaging and printed content of their CD. In case you're wondering about the somewhat gender-biased selection of contributors, there are plans to do another series... Scottish readers might like to read an article about it in today's issue of the Scotsman.

Three locations were shown for After Hours relaxation, as follows: Frankly, there is no excuse for Ally's (McBeal) single status. Boston's dating scene is small but highly organised. If it's Tuesday, the best pickings will be found at Sevens. On Thursday, the crowds will have moved on the the Elephant & Castle (Olde English theme popular with brokers). Weekends tend to be reserved for bemoaning your single state or going on a date. JAKE IVORY'S 1 Landsdowne Street: Karaoke with live pianists to belt out songs from the Fifties to the 80's. Loud, brash and raucous. HIBERNIA, 25 Kingston Street: Boston's trendiest small night club is tucked away on the edges of the Financial District. Most of Boston's bars tend to embrace the Cheers look with a tad too much enthusiasm, but Hibernia bucks the tweed and pine trend. Cool, with loud, loud music. THE GOOD LIFE, 28 Kingston Street: No compost but plenty of crooning in a trashy but trendy bar. Live music Wednesday to Saturday tends towards mellow jazz. Exudes a sense of Sinatra-esque sleeze, red leatherette walls, chrome chairs and an impressive cocktail menu. The lastmentioned sounds wonderful, but might it warrant the Lounge Laura stamp of approval?

With time they've mellowed/matured considerably.

These and other sounds begin in cacophony and build to form a pleasant background to "River of Orchids". The piece reminds me of something by Phillip Glass or Brian Eno. It has an mildly jarring ambien= t sensibility to it. "I'd Like That" was released in a recent issue of CMJ and has had airplay= on WOXY 97X (Bang! The Future of Rock and Roll!) 97.7FM It's a pop ballad similar to much of XTC's work in the past. For their longtime fans this = is a welcome and comfy old leather lounge chair. "Easter Theatre" is harder to place. It opens with a short orchestral ch= ord progression that belongs in a Hitchcock film. It then becomes another quirky, highly original XTC masterpiece. Unusual and pleasant! "Knights in Shining Karma" is so smooth, harmonies reminiscent of the Bea= ch Boys (not a first for XTC), that I'm considering it for my bedtime listening. Quite the lullaby here. Not boring, peaceful. The first of Colin Moulding's 2 pieces on the album, "Frivolous Tonight" picks up the albums pace a bit. Beatle-esque. "GREEN MAN" - Tribal, East Indian, Druidic, Pagan, and magnificently beautiful! This is my first anthem for the year, it will carry me throug= h the end of Spring if not further. This is what Partridge does best. A Master Chef of Music blending a little of this and bringing out the flavo= r of a tune. Back to the comfy leather lounger. "Your Dictionary" Even though the st= yle is common to XTC's later body of work, by using a new palette of instrumentation it's NEW! "Fruit Nut" is Colin Moulding's 2nd piece this outing. It steps away fro= m anything you might expect. It's a musical frolic. "I Can't Own Her" is another comfortable number, but again, with new instruments, something that sounds Japanese (I can't name it right now), strings. Another fine tune, but probably my least favorite on this album. "Harvest Festival" is another of Andy Partridge's 'pining for a simpler time' tunes. He does them often, but very well. "The Last Balloon" The last number sums it up best. XTC has a magnifice= nt knack for taking us away from 'The Everyday Story of Smalltown'^ into idyllic realms where we can calmly reflect on life, the universe, and everything. Another possible lullaby piece, but the horns at the end pie= rce the peace just a bit. This is possibly the single most beautiful collection of music I own. Bu= y it for yourself. Gorgeous white cover with a single peacock feather. Th= e feather was enhanced in color foil to create a shimmer and make it appear= as a real peacock feather. Very well done. Reports are that 'Apple Venus Volume 2' will be released later this year = and will feature XTC's return to electric guitar as opposed to Volume 1's orchoustics. For more information about XTC's past and present, visit www.chalkhills.org ^'The Everyday Story of Smalltown' is another XTC song from their 1984 album, "The Big Express" -----Original Message----- I was in Virgin today and saw that XTC have returned to the studio after a 7-year break. The blurb describes the new album it as superb "orchestral pop" which sparked my interest. Has anyone heard anything of it?

REISSUE OF THE WEEK (TAKE 1): On March 9, 1969, Austin Wiggin Jr. drove his teenage daughters Dorothy, Betty and Helen from their home in Fremont, N.H., to a recording studio in Revere, Mass. The sisters hadn't been playing their instruments for very long. While the studio engineer suggested the girls were not ready to record, Mr. Wiggin insisted on getting the music on tape while it was hot, so to speak. And a group was born. Dad christened them THE SHAGGS, after the popular hairdo of the day, and paid a local promoter to release his daughter's debut album, 'PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD,' on the Third World label. The promoter skipped town with the money and most of the albums. A few copies survived, though, and made their way to people who counted. Frank Zappa, for one, declared 'Philosophy of the World' (newly reissued on RCA Victor 63371-2, out now) one of 1969's best albums. Dorothy and Betty played guitars, intoning sing-songish melodies and lyrics inspired by life as they knew it ("What Are Parents" and "It's Halloween," for instance) or teenage angst in the guise of thoughtful reflection ("Things I Wonder," "Why Do I Feel" and, of course, the title cut). Basic chords swim around or distend from a phantom beat, while sister Helen's drumming occupies its own time zone, intensely yet blissfully removed from the sounds around her. The results are startling, primitive in a way that makes artists like the Legendary Star Dust Cowboy and Wild Man Fischer sound like Steely Dan by comparison. And yet, the botched transitions, mauled chords, and wide-eyed rawness have a twisted logic that makes for oddly compelling listening. RCA's reissue restores the original cover photo and order of songs, all remastered from the original session tapes. RCA plus reissue producers Irwin Chusid and NRBQ's Terry Adams have done a mitzvah by making this seminal album available again on the eve of its thirtieth anniversary. (Jed Distler) 5. REISSUE OF THE WEEK (TAKE 2): What may be most surprising about the reissue of THE SHAGGS' 1969 masterpiece of atonal angst de vivre, 'PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD,' is that it's now available on a major label. Aren't the majors running away from stuff like this these days? What will Bertelsmann stockholders think? The reissue, co-produced by writer/archivist Irwin Chusid and NRBQ keyboardist/frontman Terry Adams, hit the stores last Tuesday (2/23) courtesy of BMG Classics' RCA Victor imprint. 'Philosophy,' originally pressed up on the obscure Third World label, was a work of subgenius from the three eldest Wiggin sisters of Fremont, N.H., a guitar-guitar-drums trio whose over-enthusiastic, somewhat delusional father, the late Austin Wiggin Jr., thought he had the next Beatles on his hands. Unfortunately, the connection between what his daughters sounded like and what the Beatles were doing remains somewhat tenuous; a special-education-class attempt in the format of Sleater-Kinney is more like it. But that's being unnecessarily cruel. The guileless magic evinced on this album seems to have eluded art-poseurs (like a certain Beatle widow, for example), many of whom would likely sacrifice several toes and perhaps a finger or two to channel something as stream-of-alternative-zeitgeist as 'Philosophy.' Think of it as an audio collection of 12 Howard Finster paintings: mini-masterpieces like "Who Are Parents," "Things I Wonder," "Why Do I Feel?," "It's Halloween" and the astonishing "My Pal Foot Foot" are downright atavistic in their wanton disregard for melodic structure and coherent meter, into which songwriter Dorothy Wiggin funneled her hickoid, anxiety-ridden small-town vision. Then there's the Shaggs' instrumental and vocal prowess, which demonstrate the kind of disconnect between rational thinking and the underlying stream of unconsciousness that avant-garde jazz artists often take years--nay, decades--to perfect. Of course, those of you who have heard these songs -- which have been available since 1980 from Rounder on LP and, later, CD -- may wonder: why is it that rock critics for years have been digging deep into their bags of superlatives to praise something that, measured against mainstream aesthetics, is the audio equivalent of a turd in a punch bowl? It's simple. With occasional exception, most of the discs we listen to and write about are products of calculation; the artistic visions of these recordings are, too often, compromised by an editing process that sacrifices the thunderbolt of spontaneous combustion for other, more mundane concerns. "Will this record sell millions? Will it move me up several notches on the totem pole of genius? Will it get me laid more often? Will it enhance my 'coolness' factor on the international stage, or give me a shot of much-needed 'indie cred'?" Nothing of that sort is present on 'Philosophy of the World.' It remains a landmark album whose complete lack of pretense is a cool, refreshing drink of oasis water amid a desert piled high with the lackluster "works of genius" from rock's overachieving auteur class, an album which by its very existence lays waste to any feeble attempts at calculated primitivism by indie-rock slackers. Which, of course, makes this masterwork utterly indispensable.

Date: 28 Feb 1999 22:36:57 -0000 Just back from Jerry Goldsmith's Edinburgh gig as part of his UK tour celebrating his 70th birthday. My it was a treat to hear the composer of some of film and TV's most quintessential music doing it live. The set varied between old and very new: Theme from Star Trek: Insurrection Movie Medley: Sand Pebbles, Chinatown, Air Force One, A Patch of Blue, Poltergeist, Papillon, Basic Instinct, The Wind and the Lion Theme from LA Confidential Music from the Planet of the Apes: The Search Continues, The Clothes Snatchers, The Hunt Theme from The Ghost and the Darkness [ Interval ] First Knight: Camelot Lives, Arthur's Farewell Tiny Creatures: Small Soldiers/Gremlins medley TV Medley: Man from UNCLE, Dr Kildare, Room 222, Star Trek: Voyager, The Waltons, Barnaby Jones Mulan suite The Generals: MacArthur/Patton medley Encore: Overture for Oscar The presentation was, it has to be said, quite cheesy with different coloured lighting and a few simplistic slides projected onto sheets above and to the side of the stage. Funniest of all though was a glitter-ball which got switched on whenever anything "spacy" was being played! The highlights for me I think were Chinatown, hearing and seeing some of the bizarre Planet of the Apes music performed live and the seque from Star Trek: Voyager into The Waltons!!! My only gripes would be on the one hand Jerry going on and on about how he only won one Oscar despite having been nominated 17 or 18 times and the percussion section who, strangely, didn't seem to actually have a sense of rhythm...

I'm trying to collect 'em all! Today at Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com) I tried to complete my set with 'Exotic Moods of Les Baxter' and 'Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason'. I found plenty of the Gleason sets but no Baxter. I asked a clerk to search the computer and he told me they hadn't had it for some time and that "no one in the area has it". He must've meant no other Best Buy's had it. He can't really know what all the local independents have in stock, so I'll keep looking. I'll just have to have my regular store special order it. If anyone on the list is having trouble finding the Jackie Gleason set there were at least 10 copies of it on the rack and me the only person in that aisle. BTW, curses! They had it filed under Easy Listening while the Ultra Lounge set itself was filed alongside such things as MTV's Party to Go and ESPN's Jock Jams discs.

It's not bad - - the cocktails are pretty good, if you get a good bartender. I had high hopes for the place when it first opened, but the pizza-and-burgers menu and clientle of afterwork stockbrokers and bankers cuts into the type of ambience I look for in a gin mill.

Marco is absolutely right - what a beautiful little set this is! A very classy job. It is also very expensive, close to fourty bucks. Each CD is less than 20 minutes long, they range from about 16:30 - 19:30 in length. Each CD has 6 tracks on it. It does not take long to do the math.
