I don't know. Any music style can be extremely boring. We only like the good examples of any style, don't we? But as I understand Alan, he can't get comfortable with Ska in general, although he says he was into it a bit a while ago. I don't know if my "definition" of why reggae, ska or dub is exotica related or danceable or whatever, was any good... To me it is one of the few styles still in aktive living development that I still watch, and since it comes mostly from a tropical island I think it's kind of exotic. As for the Ganja argument... Pot isn't legal in most countries, yet some of them have a strong reggae scene. OK, in Holland - one of these countries - dope is kind of legal, but e.g. not in England and not in Germany, although we are not sentenced to death, when we get caught. > I love the Dub reggae stuff and "toasters". IMHO the ragamuffin direction has become too popular in MTV music these days. It mixed with rap and hip hop in a rather unpleasant way. Classical Dub on the other side: yes, always.

It's a race thing. I often wondered why reggae is so especially unpopular in the States. I don't know if you're being facetious but actually race doesn't explain much here. Or at least not the way you seem to be implying. For instance, it doesn't explain why reggae was also so unpopular with American blacks. Reggae was huge in Canada for a while. Or maybe just Toronto, I'm not sure. But in spite of our large Jamaican population here, it was the white people who made reggae huge. Now this is very unscientific but I talked to a number of black people who hated reggae. And I read articles where similar sentiments were expressed. And their "reason" for avoiding reggae was that essentially it represented an image of the black man that they wanted to distance themselves from. Whether it was just image or not, reggae musicians were closer to the primitive, even the "savage". Closer to nature. Up there in the hills, shirtless, smoking giant spliffs. Going native. Which was a romantic fantasy for us white folks. But kinda "been there, done that" for American blacks. It's sort of interesting to measure this perspective against the popularity of hip hop with whites and blacks. And on the other hand, there's the virtual disappearance of "soul" music as we once knew it. Grunting, sweating R&B a la James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding. Now it's all kind of smoothed out. They use the terms "soul" and "R&B" but it's not the soul I grew up with. It may be about race. In a sense, everything is. But it's not simple.

That sounds pretty wishy-washy. A friend of mine once explained to me the way his musical taste changed as he got older. And he did it better than I could but essentially what he said was that "When we're younger, our emotions are much more simple. And singular. We're angry. We're sad. There aren't a lot of shades to it. No ambiguity or ambivalence. So when we seek out music to match our moods, we go to music that also expresses those emotions in more stark, more simple. I'm angry. Give me some Stooges. I just want to dance. Give me some ska. I just want to jump up and down and bump into people. Give me some punky reggae ska. Etc. " Then you get older and your emotions are more subtle. And you want music to reflect that. Now I'm not sure that explains my present musical tastes. I especially don't know how it explains my easy listening tastes. But in a sense it does. Instrumental music doesn't direct your emotions the way music with lyrics does. But even if my friend's explanation doesn't completely explain the breadth of my taste, I think it does explain the musical genres that have fallen by the wayside for me. I'm never in the mood to just lose my mind in the dance. Or jump in the mosh pit and bang up against all the other men. It's not that I don't have those emotions anymore. But they're seldom that simple anymore. That may not explain why you DO like ska but I think it goes some way to explaining why I don't.

OK, I see what you mean, and I wouldn't try to push new wave as exotica per se (and, Alan, I'm not trying to justify it as appropriate for list discussion)... But I think there's a definite parallel (lines) between the new wave (and punk) fascination for ska, reggae and quasi-tribal beats and the 50s/60s fascination for cha cha, rhumba, calypso, bossa nova, etc. M.Ace mace@ookworld.com http://ookworld.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: "M.Ace" Subject: RE: (exotica) More Specials More topics More reggae More ska Date: 01 Dec 2001 14:51:15 -0500 At 10:22 PM 11/30/2001, various people wrote: > > > One of the few musical genres that I continue to hate. > > > It reminds me too much of polka and the macarena. > > > Interesting point.

The reason is of course, that people who want to play the CD on some kind of computer, can't play them. That already led to a lot of complaints and it looks as if the companies are having a problem. In a way smaller labels seem to get an advantage from this, as they stil usually don't have protection, and automatically have a wider potential buyers group. And it's cooler. We had big discussions here on the list about this, and I remember myself supporting the artists, who, in my believe, have a right to be protected, and that is getting money for their work. However, it's the majors of course, who push this protection campaign, as they will gain unequally more benefits from it. But it's a much discussed problem, even among them, that much I know. It's still a pretty unanswered question for me, what's right or what's wrong. If anybody knows a good practical techno-juristical solution, that will give everybody what s/he deserves, I would be interested to hear about it.

No. You can just go from the usual analog output of your stereo into the audio (still analog) of your computer, then digitally record that signal with some audio program, extract the file, define the startpoints of those tracks and give them a number (btw, Byron, does your program do that perhaps automatically?), and then you save those tracks and burn them as usual, with a digital result, that may sound a little bit worse, but not much. So it's simply more work for a fairly equal result. --Mo ............................ studio ® http://moritzR.de exotica@web.de ............................ # 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) Recent finds - a few Date: 01 Dec 2001 22:44:07 -0000 Long time since I've posted so there's a few records that I've accumulated from Wickford and Hinckley (Essex and the Midlands) - both sleepy towns with biddies and a complete lack of under 25s! Here we go...... Chico Arnez - Non Stop Dance Party Fantastic 1974 easy LP with soul (Funky Chicken, Land of 1000 Dances, Love's Theme). This is a terrible but fantastic instru pop album with blaring horns and rocking drums (including a nice break). Top find (while I'm in a good mood) but not a classic. 6/10 Sid Phillips - Two Generations At last! A valuable (to some UK dealers) charity shop record that I have been searching for. Sid does big band on his side and Simon (his son) does funky easy listening on the other. Drums Away, Watermelon Man and Spinning Wheel are excellent. No cover but I'm pleased. 8/10 The Cross and the Switchblade OST A bizarre christian film soundtrack from Waco starring Pat Boone?!?. A fantastic track features psalms and religious rantings over pure funky drums. Good breaks on a couple of tracks and some mushy choir singing to bore you senseless. 8/10 for the good tracks. The Corrupt Ones OST Crap. Dusty Springfield and strings. A V O I D - Avoid. 3/10 Jeremy Steig - Portrait Cool double LP of Steig playing the flute over loads of jazz 1970 style - some 'songs' and some jazz meanderings. And a sample used by the Beasties - Flute Loop. Pretty cool but not something I'll ever really listen to (so why buy it? You know.) 6/10 Hammond Organ Dance Party - Big Jim H and His Men of Rhythm, etc etc. A shit LP with a reasonable tune on it - Blues for the Keyboard. Pleasant enough funky song but nothing special. This is a very common charity shop record and is a good indicator of how picked through the records you're looking at are. If it's there keep looking, and it often is. 5/10 Joy Division - Love Will Tear us Apart/Atmosphere 12" A recent reissue. Supposed to be good. Joy Division fans? It's OK I suppose. ?/10 Moussorgsky/Ravel - a classical record on RCA Victor Living Stereo Own up. Who said that the classical releases on Living Stereo are valuable. Any more info? Thanks. The Very Best of the Gunter Kallmann Choir I thought I had it but no. Now I do have it - the I Monster sample. Daydreaming is the track. The rest is big soppy harmonies. I've never been into putting an LP on the turntable for the duration - just the one track. Impatience probably. So one good track and I ignored the rest. 6/10 Brian Fahey - Classics go Latin I can't bring myself to listen to this one but I know Fahey's other efforts are good - Sign of the Swinging Cymbal was the Alan Fluff Freeman intro music. Air on a G String can't make a good samba or bossa can it? Ray Davies & the Button Down Brass - What a Wonderful World Half way Between the funk and the completely boring. I can't decide but I like the easy/psychedelic Hurdy Gurdy Man. 6/10 Danny Hodgson - Hammond Goes Bossa I flicked through it and it is a hammond going bossa. Uninteresting. 3/10 Jack Hawkins - Everything is Beautiful Who is he? Tom Jones-esq. Great tunes including 30-60-90, In the Midnight Hour. Soul at a frantic pace with live singing? Is it a live album? Who cares? It had promise but didn't completely deliver. 5/10 Andrew Oldham Orchestra - The Rolling Stones Songbook Excellent sixties easy LP by the RS's manager. Wierd arrangements. The Last Time is the basis of The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony - Massive sampling there and a fantastic track. I paid far too much for this thinking it was the original but it is an 80s reissue. Record Collector's price guide says £50 for the original and £10 for the 80s issue. 7.5/10 Xavier Cugat - Cugat in Europe A great LP with interesting arrangements but it's not my cup of tea. 6/10 Chaquito - The Big Big Sound of Bland latin cash-in by John Gregory. Why can't I find his Spies and Dolls LP? This is middle of the road easy. 4/10 James Last - Voodoo Party A second copy of this great LP. Top cheesy easy funky tunes with almost every tune worth a play. Sly and the Family Stone cover versions by James Last - who'd have thought it. Cool and German. 8/10 # 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) Finds Date: 01 Dec 2001 22:53:43 -0000 And it is my huge Peckham house warming next weekend (8th).

Tenth volume in this highly acclaimed series of Ethiopian music from the archives of this country's lone independent label, Ahma Records (1969-78). This volume focuses on "tezeta" style: ""Emptiness, melancholy, nostalgia; doom and gloom, morbid musings; heartache or homesickness: such is the stock in trade of the misery and mournful memories expressed by the song 'Tezeta' -- Ethiopia's majestic hymm to the blues. Etymologically, the word itself means memory, nostalgia, and several Ethiopian authors have used 'Tezeta' as the title for their memoirs." Featuring tracks from: Mahmoud Ahmed, Alèmayèhu Eshèté, Fréw Haylou, Tèsfa-Maryam Kidané, etc. From the years 1970-74. Some background about this series in general:"For many years the little we knew of Ethiopian music was pretty much limited to Mahmoud Ahmed's cult album Erè mèla mèla. It was the first Western breakthrough for the country's brassy, electric, urban pop: swinging and hypnotic, poignant yet funky. So unique, so different from anything else coming out of the African continent. This amazing, headspinning groove was celebrated the world over, and hailed as one of the finest releases of 1986. Precisely because Ethiopian music remains virtually unknown on our western shores, Buda Musique acquired exclusive rights to the Amha Records (1969-1975) and Kaifa Records (1973-1977) catalogs, two major repositories of the music of the golden age: around 150 singles and over a dozen albums, the highlights of which are being reissued in the éthiopiques collection. Éthiopiques aims to present a panorama of this missing link in Africa's music, to become a reference point, both lively and informative, a sort of audio emissary for Ethiopia's musical heritage. The collection will focus on the golden age of modern Ethiopian music but will also present other archival material as well as recent recordings, both modern and traditional, urban and 'ethnic'." -- Francis Falceto $15.00 CRIPPLED DICK HOT WAX (GERMANY): VA: Les Chansons Des Perverts CD (CDHW 076 CD). "Les Chansons Des Perverts is by way of taking stock, a reflection -- albeit only in part -- of the workings of life inside Crippled Dick Hot Wax. At the present, for this album brings together all sorts of styles from the past thirty years, styles which, for all that, I believe get along very well together. My hobby, thrift-store shopping, means that vinyl of every sort and from every age and era has been collecting up, with my friend Tommy Grenas -- alongside his activities as a musician -- a thrift-store junkie as well, contributing in no small way to this compilation. To get swiftly to the heart of the matter: diverse Crippled and non-Crippled acts here meet up with old heroes. All in all, a blend of highly sought-after, rare or totally unknown numbers and in part new and exclusive tracks. A treat for headphone nerds, DJs and other head-cases whose thinking is light-years away from styles and pigeon-holes. In the end, though, what's on the agenda here is unadulterated entertainment, far removed from any political or moral message." Features 9 previously unreleased tracks plus a bunch of rare/obscure tracks issued on CD for the first time, some contemporary, some going back to the late 60s. Artists included are: Carl Wilson, Anubian Lights, Odyssey Orch., Seksu Roba, Higher Than God, Dodo, Mystic Mood Orchestra, Antena, Don Paulin, Toni Bruno, Monsieur Leroc, Hayner Boehm, The Ray Makers, Henry Buzz Glass, Station Rose. $14.50 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "cheryl" Subject: (exotica) Playlist For Space Bop, December 2 Date: 02 Dec 2001 10:34:22 -0500 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm Eastern time on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada, and on RealAudio (real time only, for now) at: http://www.ckut.ca As usual, all comments, questions, and feedback welcome.

Well, that's the only real retort available to this trend of treating the customer like a criminal under electronic house arrest. Consumer rejection is the only thing that will make it stop. The question is whether consumers on a mass basis will reject it -- or even be aware of it before it's established.

Of course that might limit me, but I haven't been tempted to buy a CD since last June and its worked for me. I use a direct drive techniques turntable to transfer vinyl to CD which allows me reasonable control over when the track begins to record onto the CD, and I do an individual level check on each track before recording it by sampling bits and pieces of the track. I let it just graze the yellow warning light in the level indicator. Then I use the CD-Stomper program to create labels and inserts. A CD is a lot more interesting when you conceptualize it and produce it along with the art work yourself. I have four mixes now: "Slammin' Hammond", "The Now Sound", "E-Z Listening at the Disco", and "Soundbytes from the Space Age"....I've never been happier ::-() # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) @home and weekly upload update Date: 02 Dec 2001 19:52:04 EST In a message dated 12/2/01 7:02:37 PM, jonny_yuma@hotmail.com writes: << Sucks for all those folks, I guess they are..........

Those are them!!!!!!!! The only ones missing from that list, which maybe they'll correct some day are "HR is a dirty guitar player", "Color him Funky" and the one I'm really surprised they left out "Out of Sight". I couldn't really choose between them but if I absolutely had to pick just one, I'd probably go for the first one, even though "All Time" might be my favorite single LP of that group. But they're all great! I think it's so exciting that I can't even maintain that part of my attitude which would say "Oh damn, now I won't be special anymore that everyone will be able to hear him". Years ago I made an all-Howard tape for the legendarily hard-to-please ex-exotica member Miss Mingo-go. I was worried it wouldn't meet her sky-high threshold.

But yes, mr basically hip is right on the money as usual. Out of Sight is probably the most obviously groovy but that's partly because of the obviously groovy cover. But like I said in my previous email, all nine of these records are pretty consistent. And I'm pretty sure these are the only nine. I bought a few made after "Out of Sight" and they're pretty ponderous in a jazz fusion vein. Whereas these nine records just cook!! (Sorry I was channeling Jack Diamond again.) And it's not just Howard's amazing guitar playing which is both jazzy and rocking at the same time, a feat unachieved by any other jazz guitar player whose records I own. It's also the variety of organ players he has working with him, some of whom I've never heard (Burkley Kendricks), some of whom are vaguely familiar (Henry Cain), some of whom are actually familiar (Charles Kynard) and at least one of whom is familiar in another context, not as an organ player, namely Dave Grusin. Anyway, yeah he swings, he's the shit, he's the real deal, he's shagodelic. You're an idiot if you don't buy those CD's. (That was Jack again!)

I've not heard this LP myself, but I've always found the Suns of Arqa to be interesting even if the ideas didn't always work. Generally they have a mix of dub and Indian music (sitar and tabla's) although I have one LP with a more middle eastern sound. Always a favourite with the local smokers although I've seen them live and they can step it up, and do an excellent job. And of course for further exotic reggae there are some of the On-U sound acts with Sitars and fuzzed bass, and even a cover of 'man of mystery' and the 'Dr Who' theme (Dub Syndicate I believe). definite cross over appeal there.

The most pleasing thing to me was the inclusion of the Peanuts songs from 'Mothra' (pretending to be all knowledgeable, but really indebted to listers who gave me all the details when I asked about it before). Sleevenotes including biogs of the various composers and best of all Phonetic pronunciations of the Mothra song in Malaysian and Japanese, as well as the meaning in English. I should have copied them out before coming in to work. The rest of the LP is pretty good too, some dirgy marches, some nice exotic strings, some groovy beats (some groovy beats with odd exotic strings on them), the peanuts songs. Some FX (great big footsteps, now theres a surprise) but not too many. Great cover, very lurid, its the same as the CD cover which someone pointed me at on CDNow or somewhere.

Yes; the catalogue number is GNPD 8055. They also released Volume 2, comprising 1985-199(?) - whichever film it was that Gojira was killed (again). But I didn't go for those. The last time I was in the BIG Kim's Underground on St. Mark's Place in NYC, I found out that you never know what is being reissued in limited-edition, heavy gram vinyl these days. It's stunning. All these goodies issued with original artwork in 180gm and 220gm vinyl. But I don't know who(m)'s responsible for this feat. The Peanuts number is delicious, and the translations are quite a bit cool. For me though the meat of the release is the tracks by the original composer, Akira Ifukube, who(m) at the time of the CD release at least was still alive. The fact that the producers of the film known in the US as "Godzilla 2000" had the presence of mind to revive his chilling monster theme really adds to the respect with which they treated the subject. I think the Japanese title was actually something like MILLENIUM GOJIRA. Except they Engrishized the word "Millenium" because the language has no such word...(???) I must say, unless you have seen the original film in its original language - I have it dubbed on VHS with subtitles from the mammoth Laserdisc box set which was released some years ago - there are plots and whole characters in "2000" which don't make any sense.

My copy of this arrived late last week and while I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, what I've heard so far is really first-rate. Great, funky '70s cop show themes, much of it drawn from the KPM library. There are snippets of dialog from the series between every track, too. Not familiar with the TV series at all, but I really like the CD so far. Highly recommended.

Customers knock back drinks such as Jintai Jiken, which means the experiment, from test tubes in the "Lockup" bars. Laboratory flasks and beakers are provided to allow patrons to mix their own cocktails while relaxing with cellmates. The bars are having to be more and more imaginative to attract customers as the country sinks into yet another recession. University student Kaio Ezawa said she and her friends liked to visit a Lockup bar in Tokyo. "We find the prison atmosphere really exciting and the tension of being locked up seems to help us become drunk more quickly than usual," she said. "That makes us more popular with the guys.

I didn't follow up on the playlist to see what the title was, but when someone sent around the URL for the television theme song site I, by chance, downloaded the file of the ABC Movie of the Week, the version by Burt Bachrach, and there it was. Can somebody tell me the title of the song and how widely it's been covered? I've got to get a copy--Vinnie Bell's would be best, but I'd love others as well. And speaking of Vinnie Bell, I was listening to "The Now Sound of the Brass Ring" this past weekend, and faintly in the background I thought I detected what sounded like VB's guitar style. No musicians are listed on the album, but is there any chance he's on there? By the way, thanks to Darrell for getting me hooked on Horst Jankowski as well. I had one of his albums lying around that I rarely listened to--Piano Affair--and I finally pulled it out after hearing a few of his numbers on the Retro Cocktail Hour. The album is great all around, but my favorite tune is Horst's own "Our Beach Affair." Nothing really exotic about it, but the melody's pretty catchy. Are his "Genius" albums worth picking up? I've seen quite a few copies over the years.

The tune in question is "Nikki", composed by Burt Bacharach and named (so I understand) for his daughter. You're right, it was used as the theme for ABC's Movie of the Week in the late '60s/early '70s. The Vinnie Bell cover of "Nikki" is on the album "Airport Love Theme" (Decca DL-75212). Apparently it's also on the new Bacharach "Lounge Legends" CD.

It's called "Nikki", and it's on Bell's 1970 Decca album "Airport Love Theme". According to the liner notes, it was the theme to ABC's Tuesday Night Movie (I've seen that Movie of the Week clip, too). Never run across another version of it.

It became my favorite obscure Bacharach tune. I have three other versions now. The only vocal version is by Ed Ames on his all-Bacharach record. (Some people probably have trouble with Ed. He does enunciate a bit too crisply. But all you have to do is turn on some Robert Goulet before you listen to Ed.) The second version is by Terry Baxter who also did an all-Bacharach record. And the final version is probably the most obscure given that it was on a record that probably came out only in Canada. But I highly recommend this record to anyone who can find it. The guy's name is Jury Krytiuk. He was the owner of a couple of basically small country labels in Canada. Boot and Cynda. Boot put out Stompin Tom Connors if you know him (and if you don't, shame on you.) As far as I know, this is the only record he put out in his own name. I might not go quite so far as to compare this record to the Bacharach Baroque record that we all love (and yeah I know there are two, but we love the one that isn't German.) But it's similar. Not as good as Baroque but in the territory. Wordless vocals. Really sunshiney and sweet. I guess I win today's Bacharach geek contest. :) AZ # 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: azed@pathcom.com Subject: Re: (exotica) MORE Vinnie Bell speculation Date: 04 Dec 2001 14:28:00 -0500 At 09:48 AM 12/4/01 -0500, Clayton Black wrote: > > And speaking of Vinnie Bell, I was listening to "The Now Sound of the >Brass Ring" this past weekend, and faintly in the background I thought I >detected what sounded like VB's guitar style.

Well I'm not the Vinnie guy (or Vincent either) the way I'm a Bacharach guy but yes, I'd say if you think you hear any of Vinnie's signature guitar effects, then you're probably right. He was definitely one of the usual suspects. Brass Ring is basically Phil Bodner's baby and he and Vinnie were on a lot of the same records. Not that I can name one right now. But I know they both played on Command things all the time. Vinnie is also one of the electric sitar mainstays. Right now for instance i'm listening to the Living Guitars doing "Lady Jane" on their all Rolling Stone's record. Yes, like I always said, if you can imagine it, someone probably did it. They even cover "Wild Horses". But anyway, I don't know if it's Vinnie playing the electric sitar here. I suppose Al Caiola could have picked one up but I don't think they all did. Vinnie seemed to be the guy with the effects and boxes. He's all over a couple of Tony Mottola's "sixties rock" records. Especially "Guitar Underground". And he's playing that gloopy water dripping style. And fuzz. And other effects. Unfortunately this doesn't mean that everything that has Vinnie's name on it is going to be all fuzzed up with effects and sitar and water dripping. Like all of them, he made boring records too. But if you hear that sound of water dripping, it's almost certainly Vinnie. I think.

Mann, a major influence on the Philadelphia sound and dance-craze music popularized by Dick Clark's television show ''American Bandstand'' in the years before the Beatles burst on the scene, succumbed to Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites) last Wednesday in Pompano Beach, Fla., where he had lived in retirement. ``He was a very talented writer,'' Appell told Reuters, speaking from his own home in Pompano Beach. ``He had his finger on the pulse of what was going on in those days. Very simple lyrics, about romancing and dancing. ... And the teenagers dug it at the time.'' Clark, whose long-running program showcased many of the songs Mann co-wrote, remembered the lyricist as ``a very prolific, imaginative guy. ... He was very, very commercial in his treatment of music. Though he was much older than the audience he was writing for, he was very contemporary.'' A Philadelphia native, Mann began his show business career in the 1940s and '50s as a comedy writer for Danny Thomas, Red Buttons and Jack Leonard. In the late 1950s, friend and songwriter Bernie Lowe convinced Mann that if he could write comic parodies he could write lyrics, proving his point when the two collaborated on ''Teddy Bear (Let Me Be Your),'' which became a hit for Presley. Lowe and Mann went on to co-found Cameo/Parkway Records, the Philadelphia-based music label that launched the careers of ''Twist'' king Chubby Checker, teen idol Bobby Rydell and groups like the Orlons and the Dovells. The artists owed much of their success to the label's close links with Clark's ``American Bandstand,'' which gave them instant national TV exposure. 'LET'S TWIST AGAIN' The city soon became a hub of rock 'n' roll. It was at Cameo/Parkway in 1958 that Mann met and began writing songs with arranger-musician Appell, who had been music director on the Ernie Kovaks television show and played guitar for a group called the Apple Jacks. Mann alone is credited with composing Chubby Checker's little-known debut single, ``The Class,'' but he and Appell co-wrote numerous spinoffs of Checker's chart-topping dance craze hit ``The Twist,'' including ``Let's Twist Again,'' ``Twist a Long,'' ``Twistin''' and ``Don't Knock the Twist.'' Checker's original smash hit ``The Twist'' -- the recording that made him an overnight sensation -- actually was a cover of a 1958 B-side that Hank Ballard wrote and recorded for his Hank Ballard & the Midnighters. Mann played a key role in discovering Checker, then a teenager named Ernest Evans who first gained attention by entertaining customers in the poultry shop where he worked for a friend of Mann's. His workplace antics helped him land a Cameo/Parkway audition and his first record contract. The story goes that it was Dick Clark's wife who first christened the portly young singer ``Chubby Checker,'' a sly reference to Fats Domino. With Appell composing the melodies, it was Mann who put words to the Orlons' 1963 hit ``South Street'' about Philadelphia's famously bohemian boulevard (''Where do all the hippies meet? South Street, South Street'') and the Dovells' 1961 dance craze hit ``The Bristol Stomp'' (''The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol when they do the Bristol Stomp''). Mann wrote lyrics for several Rydell Hits, including ``Wild One,'' the ``Cha-Cha-Cha'' and ``Kissin' Time,'' the song that launched Rydell as a teen idol. He also shared songwriting credits for the dance song ``Mashed Potato Time'' by Dee Dee Sharp, and her follow-up ``Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes.)'' Other credits include ``Take Me Back to Toyland'' by Nat ''King'' Cole and ``Butterfly,'' which became a No. 1 hit in 1957 for Andy Williams. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Harold Schafer=20 BISMARCK, N.D.

She was 85. The odd experiences she described =97 which included shopping with Liszt (he was interested in the price of bananas) and watching television with Chopin (he was appalled) =97 found a resonant audience in the era of the Beatles= and flower power. More intriguingly, they attracted expert scrutiny and some approbation from such luminaries as Leonard Bernstein, along with tidal waves of more or less good-natured ridicule from most of the music establishment. Mrs. Brown's credibility as a medium was buttressed by her own musical ignorance. She had just three years of piano instruction and could not play by ear or extemporize. There was no record player or radio in her home and she said she never went to concerts. "I seemed to lose control of my hands; it was as though someone were guiding them," she said of the first time she received a piece of music from Liszt. Peter Katin, an outstanding interpreter of Chopin, was pleased to record many of the piano works, while the composer Humphrey Searle published an essay noting the similarity of Mrs. Brown's Liszt pieces with his later official compositions. Mr. Bernstein suggested he could "buy," meaning accept, a piece by Rachmaninoff, but not much else. Andr=E9 Previn, then conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, said that= if the newfound compositions were genuine, they would best have been left on the shelf. But the British composer Richard Rodney Bennett seemed entirely convinced, at least at the time. He said that when he was having trouble with a composition of his own, Mrs. Brown passed along Debussy's recommendation. It worked. "If she is a fake, she is a brilliant one, and must have had years of training," he said in an interview in Time magazine. "Some of the music is awful, but some is marvelous. I couldn't have faked the Beethoven." Regardless of how much Western music may or may not have been enriched by posthumous contributions channeled by Mrs. Brown, there was scant doubt of her entertainment value. She set off waves of interest in several appearances on British Broadcasting Corporation radio shows, the first in 1969. In the United States, she played at Town Hall in New York and appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson, telling him that her sources said there was no sex in heaven. She described the various composers in often humorous detail. Beethoven, she said, was no longer deaf and had lost "that crabby look." Debussy wore "very bizarre clothes" and was "a hippie type." Chopin kept screaming something in French; it turned out to be a warning that her bathtub was overflowing. <> In 1964, she suffered an accident at the school kitchen where she worked and resumed playing the piano during her long recovery. That was when Liszt returned, as promised. She recognized him immediately, she said, and he arranged for the other composers to come, acting "like sort of a reception desk." They took different approaches. Chopin told her what notes to play and pushed her fingers down on the right keys. Beethoven and Bach liked her to sit at a table and take dictation with a pencil. Schubert tried to sing his compositions, but "he hasn't a very good voice," she said. She was supported by contributions from people who believed in the occult. She wrote three books on her channeling, and made a number of recordings, some featuring her playing the easier pieces, the last in 1988. In the mid-1980's, the visits ceased as she fell into ill health. She is survived by a son and a daughter. She always declined to ask her musical visitors the questions that outsiders thought would prove their existence. When Time offered her a list of 20 questions, she replied, "I cannot push a button and call on the composers just like that." But when she needed notes for an album cover in 1970, Sir Donald Tovey, a musicologist, was pleased to provide them.

Of all people in the universe the notorious Alan Zweig doing a review of a CD by, of all bands in the universe, The Lords!!! . Was that the latest issue? It seems so long ago. I don't remember if I said this in the review but I honestly thought the CD was a hoax when I first opened it. Like the Rutles or Spinal Tap. They went through a few too many stylistic changes to believe they were a genuine band. From garage to ABBA. Then it occurred to me that no one would do a hoax like that and then make the liner notes German only. (Unless they were really sneaky.) So I had to take it seriously. Which was kind of hard. The pictures alone, watching them change their outfits with the changing styles, was worth the price of the CD (though of course I not only paid nothing but subsequently sold it.) I can't recommend the CD but it was a lot of fun. Actually they reminded me of a whole bunch of Quebecois bands. But I can't think of any English Canadian or American band they remind me of. Except maybe the Banana Splits.

Specials - I liked them in the day, still enjoy the first LP (at least in theory) but passed on the second disc for that same reason, all those reviews calling it "easy listening." This was a bad thing. Saw it as a cut-out CD earlier this year, remembered the reviews & thought hmmm, maybe I just wasn't ready. & I guess I wasn't, it's quite good I think. New Wave - when I think of it, I tend to imagine a nervous & possibly skinny vocalist hiccupping over an unrelaxed dance groove, willfully wrong & not often funky, but likeable. At least the stuff I don't dislike. I rented the movie "Urgh! A Music War" the other month & recommend to anyone with warm feelings for the era. XTC, Pere Ubu, the DK's, Klaus Nomi (!), Devo, Gang of 4, Wall of Voodoo, etc. As far as a new wave / exotica connection, I can't help but think that some of the zany period fashions helped make a phenomenon out of thrift-store shopping. Some even ended up in the record section & bought some LPs for the funny, anachronistic covers. Some actually listened to them. gh # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "basic hip" Subject: Re: (exotica) there's no place like @home MAry Jane Date: 05 Dec 2001 18:59:15 -0800 > ...if I'm going to put two of these on each CDR like I did > with the Adventurers and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls... Hold it! unlike CD-R's made from WAV files, where two complete LP's usually just fit onto one 74 minute CDR, you should be able to fit at least a dozen LPs on the same CDR when they are formatted as MP3 files such as these. The Adventurers and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls total 59MB of storage space and a CD-R holds 650MB, so you have tons more room! That's why I started this MP3 thing. So I could bring one CD to work with 15 LP's on it to listen to. IN the process, I started the upload, since I already had it on my computer. You don't even need a CD burner. You can put them on a 100MB zip disk and tote 'em with you that way. Or you can get one of those neato gizmo's that fit in the palm of your hand and download the files from your computer right into it and take a walk while listening to your favorites. And I remember holding a transistor radio to your ear and listening to AM. Or using that weird nude colored single earphone thingy. > Or one of those Stu Philips biker soundtracks... I'm working on the Biker soundtracks, but they are tough to get without coughing up decent dough. I found Born Losers (Billy Jack) not long ago. It has a nice cover and has music by the Sidewalk Sounds and Terry Stafford singing a couple of tracks, but I did not think it was all that great. # 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: (exotica) 78 crack quiz Date: 05 Dec 2001 22:22:12 -0500 Record care question of the week...

It's the Record of the Month December's Record appropriately is a Christmas LP and a darn scarce one, Fred Lowery's "A Family Christmas" I have looked online for Fred Lowery and other whistling records practically on a daily basis for a few years now and have never seen or heard of this one. So my eyes just about popped out of their sockets when I saw it. I immediately contacted the seller and made him an offer he was very happy to get and he closed the auction early. If this is a common find in Texas thrift stores, don't tell me. And if it is, why didn't you tell me!!! I need this stuff :) It is a very old-fashioned, traditional Christmas album. Don't expect any Ding Dongs or Adventures in Carols, it is what it is. I was a little let down when I first listened to it. As is often the case with record collecting, the hunt is more exciting that the capture. But I'm glad to have it and will treasure it for years to come. It is a nice mix of Mr. Lowery's solos, voices by The Calvary Singers, a duet with 10 and 13 year old sisters, even a spoken word piece, the famous "Letter to Virginia". here it is and happy holidays to all - http://www.basichip.com/whistling/sounds/record_of_the_month/album.htm # 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: azed@pathcom.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Whistling Record of the Month Date: 06 Dec 2001 01:19:17 -0500 At 09:12 PM 12/5/01 -0800, basic hip wrote: .> >December's Record appropriately is a Christmas LP and a darn scarce one, >Fred Lowery's "A Family Christmas" > >I have looked online for Fred Lowery and other whistling records practically >on a daily basis for a few years now and have never seen or heard of this >one. . I just want to make absolutely sure you have "Whistle a Happy tune". Because if you don't, you can have it for free. And I can't remember if you're the bird call guy as well as the whistling guy but if you are, I also have a Platt and Whitney record you could have. The first tune is "Jesus is all the world to me", which the whole list is already humming along to as they read this. AS far as that other thing abuot how many MP3's can go on a CD, I guess they must have converted to Wav Files or whatever you said, because I just saved them to my hard drive and then dumped them onto CD with Easy CD creator and they came out to 67 minutes for the two soundtracks. And to be honest, I don't think I'm prepared for the idea of putting a dozen records on one CD. And anyway, if the Mp3's don't get converted, how will my CD player be able to play an MP3?

But I would expect to be able to record it this way, yes. If you can play it, you can record it. Actually I wonder about these anti-copy CD's in other ways too. In case you don't know it, most standalone machines work only with special blank CD's - which can be a fair bit more expensive than the normal variety, at least twice as much. And they say that these special CD's are copy-protected. But all they mean is that you can't copy them if you're going from a CD player to a CD recorder via a digital cable. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone with that particular setup. Anyway does anyone here really expect to be buying a copy protected CD in the near future?

A couple of days ago I wrote a foolishly uninformed email asking help in playing the CD that came with that Italian magazine. My computer showed only Quicktime movie files on the disk, but I knew there were a dozen or so music tracks on it. As Brian pointed out, over the phone, the cd tracks would probably play only on a real CD player (and not my computer). In fact, that was the case, as I discovered when I took the CD home. But this also, as far as I can tell, means the music tracks are "copy-protected", since I can't access the directory containing the music tracks on my computer. I could, perhaps, just try to copy the whole disk, and assume the music tracks would get copied with everything else, but I don't see how I can extract specific songs. Are there software programs that will let me see the music? And how are you, anyway, AZ?

Not sure how this would apply to mixed-content discs. Yes, for the time being, going through analog cabling/components (with a couple more analog/digital conversions along the way) is a workaround. But I think most people are doing this sort of thing internally in their computers, which does indeed make it a large hindrance. And I am sure they are working on solutions to the analog problem, whether technical or legislative (outlawing analog equipment as a 'circumvention tool' under the DMCA guidelines? y'never know). --M.Ace # 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: KK Subject: Re: (exotica) more anti-copy cd news Date: 06 Dec 2001 20:55:15 +0000 azed@pathcom.com wrote: > Unless you're planning to develop a taste for Celine Dion or Creed, it > doesn't seem like much of an issue. > > AZ I think sound carriers will not be much of an issue, sooner or later. On the other hand: “Listening movies” as being reported in the current Spiegel magazine (Germany). This will give a boost to soundcarrier sales I believe. The album concept (or concept album) reinvented. The concept is about incorporating sounds, effects and speach, maybe combing to something like a story, with the music into the thing. The digital media of today would aloow to just hear the music, I suppose.

My fiance's MP3-compatible boomity-box is very new but not very sophisticated and I am willing to believe that they will all work this way: When the boomity-box reads up a CD with MP3s in directories, it takes a bit of extra time to scan each directory and subdirectory (to how many sublevels I don't know), finds the MP3 files, and lists them all. SO for example, in a CD of 16 LP albums given to me by Domenic Ciccone (The Martini Guy), the boomity-box reads all the folders and comes back with 174 tracks to play. It will play these sequentially from alphabetical folder to alphabetical folder unless some different play sequence is programmed. I'm willing to bet that's how your device will access the files as well. azed@pathcom.com wrote: > AS far as that other thing abuot how many MP3's can go on a CD, I guess they must have converted to Wav Files or whatever you said, because I just saved them to my hard drive and then dumped them onto CD with Easy CD creator and they came out to 67 minutes for the two soundtracks. And to be honest, I don't think I'm prepared for the idea of putting a dozen records on one CD. And anyway, if the Mp3's don't get converted, how will my CD player be able to play an MP3?

It's on "The Great Arrival!," one of Doc Severinsen's later Command albums--everyone of which, by the way, includes at least one Bacharach cover, several of them obscure--e.g., "Love was here before the stars" on "Doc S. with Strings." And to latch onto another now-obsolete thread, No, Los Amigos are not the Castro Brothers. They are, however, a 60s version of the Four Amigos, and recorded for Capitol under both names. I put selections from these along with ones from the Castros and "the Fantastic Los Vegas" on a CDR before packing off most of my records to storage. I also included a few cuts from a terrific CD I found at the library, which you can buy for your own listening pleasure: Los Zafiros. They were, in effect, a Cuban (i.e., post-revolution Cuban) doo-wop group that were the Beatles of post-revolution Cuba. But the best cut, which I used to lead off the CDR, is their smoking original, "Bossa Cubana."

Getting a decent playback? Repair? If you have a hairline crack at the outside edge, you can put a bit of scotch tape in the lead in groove to keep it from getting worse. But a cracked 78 is doomed. All you can do is transfer it to salvage what you can out of it. Every time you play it, the needle will take a dive at the crack and eat off some of the groove at that point. Some 78s, particularly those by Columbia, were laminated, and hairline cracks don't affect them as seriously as a solid shellac 78. Luckilly 78s are cheap enough, you won't cry when one breaks... unless it is part of a set. That really hurts because there is no way you will ever find the missing disk to replace it.

As Dan Mastous wrote above, I have what seems like days worth of Dimension X and The Lives of Harry Lime and The Goon Show on 2-3 CDs.

On the other hand, they did make a delightful background back at my Y2K party, in which the invited guests had never heard any of it. I never would have known about Luxuria Music if they hadn't had a cross-promotion with the U-L website at the tail end of May 2000. So... Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

There was a time when it seemed as if all Jamaican records were either them or the Roots Radics. The only UK hit under their own name I recall would be 'Boops', which was big in the clubs around 85(?), maybe later. I associate it with the 'Westworld' nights at the Academy. But for Grace Jones they produced a mellow, funky, dubby groove. Mid paced, nice full relaxed bass, nice percussion, not the normal heavy handed dub pyrotechnics on the percussion, but interesting sounds. I'd say listen to Grace Jones 'Nightclubbing' LP again. The track I was thinking of was "I've seen that face before (libertango)" and not 'La Vie En Rose', Doh. Perhaps I should get a PC and do all this from home.... But its all there, the Accordion, the rhythm sound. I played it next to Gotan Projects' 'triptico' on Saturday night and it fits rather well in mood.

She was 77 and lived in Manhattan. For more than 45 years Ms. Hubley made a film a year, an achievement that Dan McLaughlin, head of the animation workshop at the University of California at Los Angeles, called unbelievable. Her first 21 films were made in partnership with her husband, John, before his death in 1977. Her newest film, "Northern Ice, Golden Sun," came out of the lab just a few days ago; its premiere is to be tomorrow at U.C.L.A., and it is to be shown Jan. 8 at the Museum of Modern Art as part of a celebration of Ms. Hubley's life. Exploring what she called mythic landscapes, Ms. Hubley used primitive myths, magic and music and, in three classic films, the recorded voices of her four young children to comment on the world as it was, is and should be. A jazz fan who sometimes played the cello in her films, she used the works of Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Carter and Quincy Jones as background for what has been described as "filmic poetry." Although the visual images of her later films evoke Miró and Klee, Ms. Hubley has described her films as close to cave painting. "Northern Ice, Golden Sun," not quite seven minutes long, paints the deep attachment the Inuit feel toward the earth. Ms. Hubley once said that the central thread that runs through her impressionistic, dreamlike and often whimsical films is "human development, with a strong emphasis on the importance of children as people and on the environment people live in." When Faith and John Hubley married in 1955 and began making films together, they had only two marriage vows, according to Ms. Hubley. "One was to eat with the children," she said. "The other was to make one independent film a year." The Hubleys kept both promises, and filmmaking became a family affair. They won their first Academy Award in 1959 for "Moonbird," an impressionistic account of young children at play whose unique soundtrack was the recorded voices of their two sons, Mark and Ray. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would not change the name of the category in which they won from "cartoons" to "animated films" until 1971, but the Hubleys were already expanding cartoons beyond Disney. Their second Oscar came in 1962, for "The Hole," in which two construction workers debated nuclear destruction. Their third, in 1966, was for the buoyant "Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Double Feature," in which the band plays on as more and more people crowd into its automobile. The Hubleys' work was the subject of a retrospective in 1998 at the Museum of Modern Art. Until John Hubley's death during heart surgery, Ms. Hubley was considered the lesser partner in their work. When they met, he was already well known. At Disney he had worked as an art director on "Bambi," "Dumbo," "Pinocchio," and "The Rite of Spring" episode of "Fantasia." Staunchly pro-union, he had left Disney during a bitter strike in 1941 and then was a founder of United Productions of America, where he helped move animation away from Disney with the creation of "Mr. Magoo" and "Gerald McBoing-Boing." Ms. Hubley, who grew up in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, had bolted from home at the age of 15 without finishing high school. Reticent in interviews about her childhood except to say that her parents had "made no room for children," she created an intimate self-portrait on film in the 25-minute "My Universe Inside Out" (1996), which hints at child abuse and her parents' burning down the family house. At 18, Ms. Hubley went to Hollywood. Because World War II had emptied the studios of young men, she got a job as a messenger at Columbia. She worked her way up to sound-effects editor, music editor and script clerk, and dreamed of being an independent filmmaker. History gave her a shove in the right direction. Because of John Hubley's political activism, they were blacklisted. Returning to New York, they fed their growing family by working on commercials and educational films. Their first independent film, "Adventures of an *," was finished the year after their marriage, right on schedule. "We could have been rich," Ms. Hubley recently told a reporter. "But I told John, `If you're an artist, you can't be a huckster.' " The Hubleys earned an Oscar nomination for "Windy Day" in 1968. This time the voices of the children were those of their two daughters, Emily and Georgia. In "Cockaboody" (1973), Emily and Georgia played at being grown-up mothers and glancingly mulled the death of their own mother. When John died, the Hubleys were working on their 21st film, "The Doonesbury Special." Finished by Ms. Hubley, Garry Trudeau and their longtime animator, Bill Littlejohn, the film became their seventh to be nominated for an Oscar. After her husband's death, Ms. Hubley turned to larger themes and more abstract images. "Step by Step" (1979) projects mother love against the impossibility of protecting children in a world of foul water and limited food. "Seers and Clowns" (1994), which was animated by Ms. Hubley, both her daughters and Mr. Littlejohn, uses the words of Chief Seattle against metamorphosing images of wisdom and folly. "Faith was always timid about doing animation," said Mr. Littlejohn, who first worked with Ms. Hubley on the 1962 film "The Hole." "The strengths of her films were her brilliant designs and her strong ideas. And making one film a year is a standard no one else has approached." Ms. Hubley's solo films, usually a combination of her watercolor paintings and cel animation, often dealt in a poetic way with the treatment of women ("Witch Madness," 1999) and with pre-Christian myths. "The Big Bang and Other Creation Myths" gives no more credence to the scientific explanation of the beginning of the world than it does to half a dozen primitive beliefs. At the time of her death, Ms. Hubley was a senior critic in the department of art at Yale University. In addition to her four children, she is survived by six grandchildren. To the end, Ms. Hubley loved being an independent filmmaker. As she told an interviewer a few months ago: "I am willing to pay the price: total financial anxiety all the time. I don't have any greed illusions. I need to eat, and that's that." # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Subject: (exotica) [obit] Faith Hubley Date: 10 Dec 2001 09:55:13 -0500 December 10, 2001 Faith Hubley, Oscar Winner in Animation, Is Dead at 77 By ALJEAN HARMETZ,NYTimes Faith Hubley, a three-time Academy Award winner whose 50 animated films often combined elements of myth, jazz and a deeply felt humanism, died on Friday in New Haven.

Her newest film, "Northern Ice, Golden Sun," came out of the lab just a few days ago; its premiere is to be tomorrow at U.C.L.A., and it is to be shown Jan. 8 at the Museum of Modern Art as part of a celebration of Ms. Hubley's life. Exploring what she called mythic landscapes, Ms. Hubley used primitive myths, magic and music and, in three classic films, the recorded voices of her four young children to comment on the world as it was, is and should be. A jazz fan who sometimes played the cello in her films, she used the works of Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Carter and Quincy Jones as background for what has been described as "filmic poetry." Although the visual images of her later films evoke Miró and Klee, Ms. Hubley has described her films as close to cave painting. "Northern Ice, Golden Sun," not quite seven minutes long, paints the deep attachment the Inuit feel toward the earth. Ms. Hubley once said that the central thread that runs through her impressionistic, dreamlike and often whimsical films is "human development, with a strong emphasis on the importance of children as people and on the environment people live in." When Faith and John Hubley married in 1955 and began making films together, they had only two marriage vows, according to Ms. Hubley. "One was to eat with the children," she said. "The other was to make one independent film a year." The Hubleys kept both promises, and filmmaking became a family affair. They won their first Academy Award in 1959 for "Moonbird," an impressionistic account of young children at play whose unique soundtrack was the recorded voices of their two sons, Mark and Ray. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would not change the name of the category in which they won from "cartoons" to "animated films" until 1971, but the Hubleys were already expanding cartoons beyond Disney. Their second Oscar came in 1962, for "The Hole," in which two construction workers debated nuclear destruction. Their third, in 1966, was for the buoyant "Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Double Feature," in which the band plays on as more and more people crowd into its automobile. The Hubleys' work was the subject of a retrospective in 1998 at the Museum of Modern Art. Until John Hubley's death during heart surgery, Ms. Hubley was considered the lesser partner in their work. When they met, he was already well known. At Disney he had worked as an art director on "Bambi," "Dumbo," "Pinocchio," and "The Rite of Spring" episode of "Fantasia." Staunchly pro-union, he had left Disney during a bitter strike in 1941 and then was a founder of United Productions of America, where he helped move animation away from Disney with the creation of "Mr. Magoo" and "Gerald McBoing-Boing." Ms. Hubley, who grew up in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, had bolted from home at the age of 15 without finishing high school. Reticent in interviews about her childhood except to say that her parents had "made no room for children," she created an intimate self-portrait on film in the 25-minute "My Universe Inside Out" (1996), which hints at child abuse and her parents' burning down the family house. At 18, Ms. Hubley went to Hollywood. Because World War II had emptied the studios of young men, she got a job as a messenger at Columbia. She worked her way up to sound-effects editor, music editor and script clerk, and dreamed of being an independent filmmaker. History gave her a shove in the right direction. Because of John Hubley's political activism, they were blacklisted. Returning to New York, they fed their growing family by working on commercials and educational films. Their first independent film, "Adventures of an *," was finished the year after their marriage, right on schedule. "We could have been rich," Ms. Hubley recently told a reporter. "But I told John, `If you're an artist, you can't be a huckster.' " The Hubleys earned an Oscar nomination for "Windy Day" in 1968. This time the voices of the children were those of their two daughters, Emily and Georgia. In "Cockaboody" (1973), Emily and Georgia played at being grown-up mothers and glancingly mulled the death of their own mother. When John died, the Hubleys were working on their 21st film, "The Doonesbury Special." Finished by Ms. Hubley, Garry Trudeau and their longtime animator, Bill Littlejohn, the film became their seventh to be nominated for an Oscar. After her husband's death, Ms. Hubley turned to larger themes and more abstract images. "Step by Step" (1979) projects mother love against the impossibility of protecting children in a world of foul water and limited food. "Seers and Clowns" (1994), which was animated by Ms. Hubley, both her daughters and Mr. Littlejohn, uses the words of Chief Seattle against metamorphosing images of wisdom and folly. "Faith was always timid about doing animation," said Mr. Littlejohn, who first worked with Ms. Hubley on the 1962 film "The Hole." "The strengths of her films were her brilliant designs and her strong ideas. And making one film a year is a standard no one else has approached." Ms. Hubley's solo films, usually a combination of her watercolor paintings and cel animation, often dealt in a poetic way with the treatment of women ("Witch Madness," 1999) and with pre-Christian myths. "The Big Bang and Other Creation Myths" gives no more credence to the scientific explanation of the beginning of the world than it does to half a dozen primitive beliefs. At the time of her death, Ms. Hubley was a senior critic in the department of art at Yale University. In addition to her four children, she is survived by six grandchildren. To the end, Ms. Hubley loved being an independent filmmaker. As she told an interviewer a few months ago: "I am willing to pay the price: total financial anxiety all the time. I don't have any greed illusions. I need to eat, and that's that." # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: G.R.Reader@bton.ac.uk Subject: (exotica) stan kenton - brads page?

I'd guess that the DJ found the cut on the Ultra Lounge CD, Mondo Hollywood. It's a wonderful score, I like it almost as much as Barry's music for the film Beat Girl. tiki kiliki wrote: > I was listening to a local radio show last night and heard a great tune > titled " Séance on a Wet Afternoon " composed by John Barry.

"Defending and justifying this brutality in the name of culture is an absurdity!" Bardot said in the letter, which was posted on her animal protection foundation's Web site and carried by The Korea Times, an English-language newspaper of South Korea, on Monday. In the letter dated Dec. 4, Bardot said her Brigitte Bardot Foundation has received "nearly a thousand insulting and threatening messages from Korea." "I dare to hope that all Koreans are not like those who recently sent those awful messages to my Foundation, and I dare to hope that many of you will not ignore animal suffering," the letter said. She did not detail contents of the messages in her letter. Bardot has long criticized the dog-eating habit of Koreans. About 3 million of South Korea's 46 million people are believed to eat dog meat as a delicacy. Dog meat also is eaten in some other Asian countries, including China, Vietnam and the Philippines. Early this month, the 67-year-old actress angered Koreans by hanging up the phone during an interview with MBC, a major South Korean radio-television network in Seoul, while discussing the country's dog-eating culture.

That Folkswingers record is amazing. I've just finished putting all my groovy Now Sound go-go records onto CD and it's kind of strange to download one from someone else that's probably better than anything I owned. Maybe "better" is not the best way to say it. Maybe "crazy" would be more appropriate. But it's an amazing record. And I'm still blown away that I can download things online and then burn them onto a CD and then listen to them. I put Mary Jane and the Folkswingers on one short CD and they make a great combination. Then I put those two, minus one cut, on a CD with "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" for a couple of friends and they can hardly believe that I "know" someone who just "gave" me those three records online. I guess my friends are even less technologically hip than I am. Having put my entire Now Sound collection onto CD now, I almost feel like I should somehow return the favor. Except for the fact that I don't put every cut on. And I can't imagine what I have that his basic hipness doesn't. But if I had a high speed connection, I'd do it anyway. These days I'm way too busy boiling down my own collection to the minimum number of burned CD's, to think about looking for more records. (After I put the records on CD, I go through them and make "best of" compilations from them. Then I put the original CD's in those binders and hide them in the corner.) Anyway for me, these weekly hip downloads are the perfect little bonus. Between that and the occasional exoticaring thing, I can continue to stay home and work on my CDR project and still know that things will be coming to my door. Thanks. Can't wait for the next one and the next one.

Just had a quick half hour at lunchtime to check out the nearest charity shop. Such a large collection of records, I really didn't have time to sort through them all. I suppose the children of the upper classes no longer by vinyl. So that meant there were a couple of classics in there for me. Walter Carlos - Switched on Bach. Well we've all heard of it. Not bad condition, the sleeve was a bit tatty. Not massively my cup of tea, but it is genre defining. A couple of the tracks are just off the wall enough to make a novelty occasion, but mostly its too straight for my liking. I don't like harpsichords (SACRLILEGE!) and I definitely don't like fake harpsichords... As an aside, I thought the music from the end of 'A Clockwork Orange' (the fairly abstract synthesiser sounds playing over the primary coloured credits) was from this LP. It didn't seem to be. Unless I totally missed it. If its not, is it Walter Carlos? Where is it from, then? Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim arranged by Claus Ogerman. Frankie goes Bossa, oh yes. Very understated LP. Not something I'd normally associate with Sinatra. Great sleevenotes, going on about how quiet the session was, and how Ogerman irons creases into his cardigans (it seems true judging by the picture). All your Bossa fave hits performed by Sinatra, with Jobim accompanying him on guitar and occasionally singing. Very, very nice. Tabu an LP of Balinese Folk music by various Balinese folk artists. From the early 60's judging by the look of it, I didn't get round to playing this last night, so I've not heard it. Interesting sleeve notes. Not just Gamelan, but some other Balinese forms. some parts are played on a bamboo jaws harp. I also picked up the Dread Zeppelin single of 'Heartbreak hotel'. A one joke band, funny the first time you hear them. This, for me, was that record. I did have a tape of their LP for a while, it didn't last long. This should do. Wish I'd had much more time, it looked like there were some more charity shops down the street.

There's a great search engine for buying music besides GEMM. It's http://www.music1search.net/ . They claim to have "5 Million Items for Sale from Over 90 New & Used Music Vendors". They have 3 places that carry "Swinging Safari". One is for $11.14: http://www.music1search.net/orders/orders.php?store=83&id=3910089 The other two are for $20.99 & $25.99. I have only heard one Bert Kaempfert album. When I was a teenager, my friend had an 8 track player in his Corvette, and we would drive around listening to Bert's greatest hits over and over. I hear Swingin' Safari has the old "Match Game" theme song on it. How's the rest of the album?

Far Away Places not very exciting or exotic. I like harpsichord leads though, and this 1961 album has got loads of harpsichord. I think the harpsichord is a very indicative instrument for the recording technology used. Obviously used the engineers light to push the levels to accent the harmonics, and the low-cutty effect of the transformers is in full effect also. You always know in an instant when you hear a transistor era harpsichord. Enoch Light & His Orchestra ? Provocative Percussion Vol.III not very exciting or exotic either. I had one listen so far, and can’t recommend any particular track yet… Augusto Alguero & His Orchstra ? Sounds Spectcacular A “typical“ Polydor find. Very reverb heavy sound, with string and percussion arrangements. Unusal selections: Delilah I’m Coming Home Pata-Pata Cherie Babette Magico Sonido It Must be Love (Sera El Amor) la la la La Muchachita Del Pianillo Cuando Sali De Cuba The Ballad of Bonnie And Clyde Road To Marbella Gran Premio Somehow this reminds me of Keith Mansfield, the groove is more like Roberto Delgado. More over the top ideas and sound than either in any case. Is there more by this man? Desperados Steel Band? Virgin Islands Relatices of the Wesley Thomas Combo tracks: Gagabat Parris Twist Merengue Hugh Born To Love Melody Love Never On Sunday B G War Ja. (Ya) Slow Twist Nelson Know Yellow Bird Yankee Doodle This is one highly recommended Steeldrum record. The ballads may tack some getting used too, as especially the high notes don’t carry much tonal root. But in general: a impressive sound, very exotic to me, and the rhythms are intense and unusal. This will be a favorite on compilation tapes!

This album is the answer to those desires. Here is the Trio today -- augmented by drums and featuring four great guest soloists, each performing in three selections." And indeed it is so... nicely casual small combo takes on a set of standards, including Cole's Mr. Smooth vocals. Core combo is: N'K'C - piano, vocals John Collins - guitar Charlie Harris - bass Lee Young - drums Plus rotating guests: Willie Smith - alto sax Harry Edison - trumpet Stuff Smith - violin Juan Tizol - trombone Jack Costanzo - bongos The highlight from an exotica perspective is a pretty-darned-cool version of "Caravan" -- including Jack Constanzo and Juan Tizol guesting on his own standard. Nifty arrangement... rather than a big, loud Caravan, it's more of a cool 'n' clever late night Caravan. The rest of the tracks: Just You, Just Me Sweet Lorraine Sometimes I'm Happy It's Only A Paper Moon You're Looking At Me Lonely One Don't Let It Go To Your Head I Know That You Know Blame It On My Youth When I Grow Too Old To Dream Route 66 "Route 66" gets a teasing treatment. Recorded at "Capitol's new Tower Studios." Low-key, but not sleepy. Cool.

Edd Byrnes played Gerald Kookson III (Kookie), the jive-talking parking lot attendent with the dreamy good looks, on the popular private eye TV series 77 SUNSET STRIP from 1958-1963. Kookie wanted to be a private eye himself and often helped Stu Bailey (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr) and Jeff Spencer (Roger Smith) on their cases. Kookie proivided the comic relief for the show and his "Kookie-isms" such as "the ginchiest" (the greatest), "piling up the Z's" (sleeping) and "keep the eyeballs rolling" (be on the lookout) became his trademark. In 1959 Warner Bros put out this very hip little masterpiece, simply called Kookie. One of the tracks, the brilliant "Kookie's Mad Pad" was used on Rhino's excellent beatnik box set, The Beat Generation. "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb), with Connie Stevens, hit #4 on Billboard's Top 40 in 1959. I really like "Like I Love You", a phone conversation between Kookie and Marcia, but it's not until after a lengthy guessing game that Kookie realizes he's got the wrong number.

According to the liner notes, "The title brings to mind a dark Paris cafe . . ." Huh? I guess I'm not as cosmopolitan as I thought, but to me the title brings to mind buckskin and warpaint, and frankly the sound of the song does too (I've just been listening to Billy Mure's very wild-west sounding version). Is the title really meant to sound like "a posh" and not "a patchy"? Is there a famous Paris cafe with that name?

Is there more by this man? Two other titles which are well worth picking up are "laugh laugh" (Circle of Sound) and "Top hits my Way"(Polydor). Both contain fantastic up tempo groovy latin tinged UK easy beat numbers. "Top hits..." is, as you would expect, covers. Rousing versions of "Say a Little Prayer", "hey Jude", "love Child" some non-descript fillers and a lovely quasi psych-pop-latin version of "cielito si-si" . Stand out track though is the fantastic original "bocaccio soul" a floor shakin' slab of throbbing hammond soul with funky breakbeats and scorching horn stabs. "Laugh Laugh" is an altogether more accomplished affair. Composed , arranged and conducted entirely by Augusto this release could be the soundtrack to some lost cinematic masterpiece. Spanning lush instrumentals, uptempo wordless vocal grooviness and thriller-esque themes to rock soul numbers like "Great Expectations" (included on the Karminsky LP "In-Flight Entertainment". Great club number "discotheque" is also on this release LP) makes this one of the best UK "easy listening" albums in my opinion, ranking with ease alongside releases by artist/arrangers like Keith Mansfield, Johnny Harris.

I have that LP, which has got to be the brightest summer LP I have. Jonny Delicado who does the musical taste site (http://www.psychedelicado.com) did me a tape of an LP 'Laugh, Laugh' which is more of the same, and according to the sleevnotes on the Polydor A-Z of Easy Listening theres another Polydor LP 'Hey, Jude', which I have yet to find. It took me a long time to find 'Sounds Spectacular' and I was very pleased when I did. The A-Z has a track 'Boccaccio Soul' which is a corker, a bit funkier than this LP with that great full bass and a flute solo. Gran Premio is on a compilation, and I can't remember the name of it, but it has some good Roberto Delgado on it and also a beautiful easy version of 'Try a little tenderness' by Kurt Edelhagen. Apart from that I think he did quite a lot of soundtrack work in Spain, but I've not been able to find much else out about him.

I picked up an album on a local fair yesterday from the Dutch bandleader and arranger Jos Cleber, Music of the city Amsterdam, it's an impression in sound of the Dutch capital (tracklist: The Royal Palace, Night Traffic on Rembrandt Square, the street organ, Carillon melodies, Rhapsody of street musicians, venice in Amsterdam, stormy weather in the harbor, The harbor bar, the stage coach, A provincial in Amsterdam - "Every day A. is invaded by men and women from neighbouring towns and villages in the province... at first they seem to be dazzled by the busyness of the city, but soon they feel at home. Jos Cleber mirrors their feelings in the selections Limburg and Limburg my country...." well, here's the provincial I am, and hello Marco... - The dancing mussel vendor), recorded in Holland, but especially made for the US market, I believe, at least it says "made in u.s.a" on the label. Bought some 42 records for about $50, perhaps I'll post a list of them later when I find time, most records where between $0.75 and $1.50, there was only one record that cost me more, "Thank you, music lovers", a Dutch Spike Jones compilation, and "Hawaiian War Chant (Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai)" alone is worth all $4 I payed for it, it is the weirdest and most insane version I've ever heard. Highlight of the fair was the Silent Night collector, he owns more than 1000 recorded versions of the song in all possible formats except for wax rolls, but that is apparantly going to change soon. His estimate is that there are about 12.000 to 15.000 recorded versions around, so he has way to go. It's a life. BTW One Silent Night among my scores, it's on Nat King Cole''s "Christmas Song" and that's a great album.

Date: 17 Dec 2001 17:29:48 -0500 Here's the latest press release from Dana at C&S Music. Lou =================================================== Have a great Holiday Season! - Dana C&Sm Mag ISSUE NUMBER 23 OF COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC MAGAZINE IS HERE! Loaded with new, informative articles on the coolest and strangest music you never thought you'd hear about, this issue features a 4-color cover, lots of high-quality photos, tons of new wacky and weird CD reviews, and it's more fun than teaching your parrot to sing "Springtime in the Rockies!" This issue features: MEL BLANC Our cover feature is a man mostly recognized as the voice of Bugs Bunny, in addition to a long list of cartoon characters that includes Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, the Tasmanian Devil, Woody Woodpecker, and Barney Rubble. Besides his ubiquitous voice work for animation, Mel Blanc recorded a number of novelty and children's records throughout his lengthy career. He also collaborated with such Cool & Strange luminaries as Billy May, Spike Jones, and Mickey Katz. Walt Mitchell treats us to an illuminating interview he did with Mr. Blanc in 1978, discussing everything from Mel's early days in radio and the dawn of children's records to the various rare promotional recordings and adult releases. It's a fascinating talk with the Man of 1000 Voices! While MAD Magazine is infamous for plumbing the depths of humor on the printed page, "the usual gang of idiots" were known to occasionally project their wild satire onto record as well. From the late 1950s through the early '80s, a variety of wacky releases brought Alfred E. Neuman to your stereo. Although there were a few full-length LPs, the bulk of the MAD sounds came in the form of cardboard and flexi-disc singles which were included as promotional supplements to the magazine's annual anthologies and quarterly Super Specials. Gary Weinraub explores the history of these collectable novelties, and even takes us behind the scenes for one of the last recording sessions, "The MAD Laugh Record," in 1981! BOOTLEG ALBUMS For over three decades, bootleggers have been offering up rare and unreleased audio treats to eager music fans. Ranging from creatively packaged collections of live concert recordings, demos, and studio outtakes to unauthorized CD editions of out-of-print vinyl LPs, these illegal curiosities have become an intriguing genre of their own. Delve into the colorful history of black market releases with Robert Koenig, as he examines not only the intriguing variety of material, but the strange and beautiful cover art that often accompanies them as well. The LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT Between 1976 and '77, Langley Schools Music Director Hans Fenger took a radical new approach to teaching his students. Rather than utilize traditional children's music, which is often simplistic and con-descending, he chose to introduce them to more complex material from contemporary acts like the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Eagles, and David Bowie. The children's unique performances were recorded by Fenger, who then had souvenir LPs pressed to give to each participant. Several years later, these recordings have found their way onto CD and listeners are discovering the strange appeal of the odd arrangements, massed vocals, and colliding percussion. Learn the story behind one of the most engaging releases this year, as Jeff Winner profiles this lost chapter of outsider music history. GARY OWENS Best known as the hand-over-the-ear announcer on TV's Laugh In, Gary Owens has supplied manly voices for a variety of animated heroes such as Space Ghost, Roger Ramjet, and Ren & Stimpy's Powdered Toast Man. He boasts an impressive resume of work in movies, cartoons, video games, and commercials. C&SM columnist Ed Kaz chats with the veteran voice man, and finds out why he's called 'The Rolls Royce of Voice.' JACKIE GLEASON Classic television lovers will always remember him as Ralph Kramden, the portly busdriver on The Honeymooners. But, Cool & Strange readers should know Jackie Gleason for conducting his lush, romantic compositions and arrangements during the 1950s and '60 on albums like "Music for Lovers Only," "Music to Make You Misty," and "Music to Change Her Mind." He inspired a wave of mood music albums for every occasion, and collaborated with the likes of Bobby Hackett, Charlie Ventura, Billy May, and even Salvador Dali. Giancarlo Davis takes us back to the Great One's heyday for a look at the funnyman's musical leanings Modern Artist Profile: ANGELA FAYE TILLETT As the bubbly British voice behind the groups Lollipop Train and Death By Chocolate, Angela Faye Tillett has proceeded to carve out a unique realm of colorful fantasy pop. Her enchanted world is a parade of childlike imagery, bubblegum singalongs, and giddy psychedelia, like the Yellow Submarine on a detour through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Join Mr. Otis Fodder as he peeks through the candy-colored clouds to find out how her garden grows. RAY CONNIFF Anyone who's ever combed through a thrift store record bin has encountered at least a handful of albums bearing this man's name. Often dismissed as bland, easy listening pap, his vast catalog of releases is usually noted mainly for the album covers, which were invariably graced with photos of beautiful women. Conniff was a skilled arranger, though, and he perfected a formula that ensured a consistent sound and continued success. He absorbed a wide variety of material into his repertoire, from classical favorites and movie themes to novelty hits and R&B charttoppers. Such tactics helped move over 65 million albums throughout five decades. Brad Bigelow confesses his appreciation for Space Age Pop's long-distance runner, and reveals that there's more to a Ray Conniff album than just a pretty face! DETROIT RECORD STORES The Motor City has been home to a wealth of music history, so it's no surprise that it offers an assortment of retail outlets for records. Should your travel plans include Detroit, let Marty Winters guide you to the choice spots for Cool & Strange vinyl and compact discs. THURL RAVENSCROFT The last profile in our trio of famous cartoon voicemen for this issue focuses on Thurl Ravenscroft, the man who's brought life to Kellogg's Tony the Tiger in cereal commercials for over half a century. He's also done voice work for Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, and his impressive resumé of back-up singing includes sessions with Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Rosemary Clooney, and Spike Jones. Meet the guy who's usually heard and not seen, as Steve Pastis chats with one of the gr-r-reats! BROTHER THEODORE Equal parts comedian and dark philosopher, Brother Theodore was a staple of New York's Thirteenth Street Theater, where he performed his one-man show for decades. His odd and colorful career encompassed TV appearances with Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, and David Letterman, roles in both Hollywood and Adult films, and even a bit of cartoon voice work. In a rare interview from 1984, G.S. Stewart sheds some light on this enigmatic monologist of the macabre. MEL BLANC 78s This issue's Cover-Mania! Photo Spread boasts a colorful parade of children's 78rpm covers, all featuring the talents of the Man of 1,000 Voices, Mel Blanc! Check out some great album art from the early days of recorded children's music. Starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Tweety Bird, Henery Hawk, and more! Add to all of that a ton of CD reviews and other goodies, & you've got yourself a cornucopia of So get on board!

I decided to follow the excellent example of basichip, otis fodder and others and present a full album for download. However, I would recommend not getting too excited (at least, not as excited as I do when Mr. Hip posts albums). The album I've put up is not especially rare; in fact, in England, I would say it's quite common. However, unless I've missed something, it's one of the lesser trumpeted UK issue easy listening LPs. It's Helmut Zacharias's 'Light my fire', a great example of the sound epitomized on the 'Inflight entertainment' compilation, which I would describe as a brassier, more brazenly cheesy version of the 'Now sound'. Have a listen and let me know what you think: http://www.musicaltaste.com/blog/showrecord.php?record_id=110 To download songs, click the song titles. This is the first time I've done this, so please accept my apologies if my server is unable to take the strain, or if I've screwed anything up. I'll keep the files up there until the end of the year. I hope some people enjoy the album. Although it's some way from being 'cool', I'm absolutely crazy about this version of 'Respect', and there are five or six other really excellent tracks. cheers, Jonny -- recommend songs at www.musicaltaste.com _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup 1 cent a minute calls anywhere in the U.S.! http://www.getpennytalk.com/cgi-bin/adforward.cgi?p_key=RG9853KJ&url=http://www.getpennytalk.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: Paul Penna Subject: (exotica) Re: Apache Date: 17 Dec 2001 17:33:45 -0800 clayton black wrote: >One of my favorite Cugat albums is "Cugat Plays Continental Hits" from the >f:35d series, but I've been curious about a strange write-up on the tune >"Apache" from the album.

The Apache Dance was something of a craze in Paris nightspots earlier in the last century. Not a social dance one would engage in, but an act. They can often be seen in contemporary films with bistro locales. I learned of them first through old cartoons, in which a stripe-shirted tough guy would sling a gal around like a sack of potatoes.

December 19: One of the most highly regarded cartoonists working in comics during the last half century has passed on. Dan DeCarlo, at 82 years still professionally active, died yesterday, reportedly of a heart attack suffered following a bad fall. DeCarlo is most famous for his defining work on the ARCHIE comic books. His distinctive approach proved so irresistable and succesful at keeping kids buying the books that it ultimately became the defacto house style at ARCHIE. DeCarlo also created JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH and CHERYL BLOSSOM for ARCHIE and left his distinctive stamp on all the ARCHIE characters. Despite his yoeman efforts for ARCHIE PUBLICATIONS, DeCarlo was not loved by management. As ARCHIE developed DeCarlo creations into lucrative television and film franchises, friction grew between the artist and publisher Michael Silberkleit. DeCarlo ultimately entered into an ugly legal battle with ARCHIE over ownership of the JOSIE, SABRINA and CHERYL BLOSSOM characters. The COMICS JOURNAL recently reported that the United States Supreme Court refused to revisit a lower court of appeals ruling that "the copyright for Josie and the Pussycats resides with Archie and that DeCarlo's challenge has come 40 years too late.

Hi Peter, welcome to the list. We're all a bit jaded at this point. For us, Esquivel is so 1998. But seriously, this list, which is probably around eight years old (somebody will correct me if I'm wrong) was basically founded around the music of Esquivel along with Les Baxter, Martin Denny etc. I've only been here a little less than four years myself - it seems like longer - and back when I joined, which was during the heart of the "lounge revival", there were probably a dozen posts about Esquivel every single day. A couple of people lurking here are even personal friends of his, I'm pretty sure. I'm not trying to embarrass you about your question. I'm only trying to say that this list sort of ain't what it used to be but the people on it still are. So nobody's saying anything but yeah, most of them probably love Esquivel and if you ask any questions or advice about his recordings, they'll tell you more than you ever wanted to know. As far as Nelson Riddle goes, all I can say is that for me he's on a list with probably a couple of dozen other arrangers who were involved in hundreds of records and if I see a record of theirs in a "genre" I like, I know there's a good chance I'm going to like it. I've had a bunch of his records where he did hits of the sixties and they were all good. He has a great TV theme record - in the sort of spy-jazz genre - called "Route 66 and other hits" which I love. I knew the name Nelson Riddle even before I started down the easy listening, lounge tributary five or six years ago. But now, like i said, I have another couple dozen names of, I think, equally great bandleaders and arrangers who on any given day could make a great record. Having said that, I don't like any of them so much that I'd buy "Percy Faith plays the hits from Oklahoma" or "Nelson Riddle plays songs Celine Dion used to sing with her 13 brothers and sisters at Xmas in Quebec". If you know what I mean. But "Percy Faith plays the Beatles" or "Don Costa plays the hits of Simon and Garfunkel", that's another thing entirely. Anyway like I said. welcome to the list. Maybe some of my jaded fellows will now come out of the woodwork to tell you not to listen to an old crank like me. And while they're at it, maybe they'll tell you something about Esquivel.

Esquivel was probably the artist whose music started me on the whole exotica thing - the Bar None comps "Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music" and then "Music From A Sparkling Planet" were played so much around here, I'm surprised they haven't worn out (even if they are CDs...) From there, I moved on to the RCA Space Age Pop compilations, the Ultra Lounge Leopard Skin sampler, Martin Denny, etc... and haven't looked back since. Back then, you could still pick up exotica vinyl at thrift and other stores cheaply - those were the days! This list has been unbelievably helpful in teaching me and many others everything you ever wanted to know about exotica, and then some. So welcome to the list, and ask away! cheryl # 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: "Peter Zarustica, the King of Prussia" Subject: Re: (exotica) Nelson Riddle...Esquivel Date: 20 Dec 2001 23:16:14 -0200 > If you like Nelson Riddle and Esquivel, maybe I should find out more about > Kraftwerk, Klf and Orb, which you mentioned liking in your first post. Not > familiar with them. Oh Let me put this straight... My first email was headed to the 4 lists I became a member, including Orb, KLF and Kraftwerk. I think that Kraftwerk is a good musical refeerance to anyone into good music and into the story of modern music. But I wouldn't recomend KLF or Orb to this list no. Of course people can like and enjoy both styles, the music that's discussed here and Orb/KLF... I do! But it's not that common. For example people on those other lists often talk about Trance and stuff like Paul Van Dyk etc.. which I truly don't like. I tried, but I think it's to boring. Anyways, as a good friend of mine says, "musical taste is like hair, some people don't have it" :) So I respect everyone's opinion. I'm much much more into 60's funk than House Music, much more into 50's standarts/free jazz than Nu Metal... > We're all a bit jaded at this point. > For us, Esquivel is so 1998. No worries. I won't start talking about Esquivel on and on... I didn't know this list and nobody told me about it.. I found it surfin'. Anyways it's nice to know people who likes him, since I didn't know anyone else but me until now.

Enjoy, Mimi > It is a beautiful (or beauteous) site. I've loved Kraftwerk for years. They helped me discover El Lissitsky (see the album "Man Machine"), which just reinforced my russophilia. There's a terrific live365.com station called ABSOLUT KRAFTWERK that plays nothing but Kraftwerk and all of the remixes all day long. It's not for everybody, clearly, but sometimes it's exactly what I need. This past semester I taught a course on Europe between the wars and I made sure to talk about Bauhaus and I showed Metropolis, and it doesn't take much effort to see the influence of both on Rolf and Florian. As for Riddle & Esquivel--what's not to love? In Riddle's case that's easier to answer (for me) than in Esquivel's. He still can't redeem Linda Ronstadt for me, but I've got three or four of his own albums and they're all excellent, including Pickwick's "Witchcraft." I go for long stretches now without listening to Esquivel, but "Music from a Sparkling Planet" is still as fresh to me as when I bought it (back in '96, I believe). And finding his vinyl in thrifts is still something of a holy grail (although Frank Hunter's "White Goddess" is much more so now).

I've got a scratchy old copy of "Viva Bossa Nova!" If it were in better shape, it would be on my turntable almost every day.

His version of Route 66 is my favorite (despite what I >said on my last post about Nelson Riddle). I know that record and I agree it's great. And there are a couple of other ones in that "series". Something like Viva Bossa Nova AGAIN! There's two or three of them at least with the same sound. A sound which includes a very groovy organ player. But I don't think those are "typical" Laurindo records. If they were, I think he would be a lot less UNsung. Not that he's all that obscure. But he made a lot of records and very few of them were as groovy as the one you're talking about. Not that groovy is the be-all and end-all. "A Man and a Woman" is a nice record but it's not groovy like "Viva Bossa Nova". And I must say I have heard a few of his records that were kind of boring. If not boring, then a little too quiet and subtle. He has this unique style of playing but I find it a bit limited and sometimes it can be a bit repetitive. No matter what the song is or what the arrangement, here comes Laurindo with that little flamenco-sounding thing he does. So yeah he had some great records but I don't think I could just say "If you see his name, buy it!" And by the way, my copies of those Viva records were a little beat up too.

Groovy gets to be a bit tiresome after a while, though. And it also is vulnerable to kitchy-ness. That quality is my biggest complaint with a lot of the music in the Ultra Lounge series.

Just in case nobody noticed, the vinyl is coming down - way down. A VG+ copy of one of Esquivel's first Mexican recordings, "To Love Again" continues to sit at Dusty Groove for 8.99.

"I bought it as it was the most obscure thing in the shop, and I was pretty sure you wouldn't have it." Its a modern, easy funk sort of thing. I'm not really sure what to make of it. There are a couple of tracks that are squarely a cross between Denny and 70's instrumental funk. Slow with lots of bird calls, and what sounds like a kettle drum or floor tom being hit by a beater. One of the tracks reminds of 'Mr Teacher'(?) off the 'Mr Mopiji' fake Soundtrack from a couple of years back. I can't find it to make the comparison, but generally this is a much better LP, even if it does get bogged down into fairly pointless grooves occasionally. Some nice organ grooves, and all round its a fairly mellow affair. It fitted quite nicely into a lounge night I've started at a local pub. Its on Soulfire records, whats their other stuff like that, any of our resident funksters know? Happy Christmas.(Where appropriate). I'm off until the new year....

Still maybe you could elaborate. Some examples of each perhaps. Personally I don't mind when groovy bleeds into kitsch. I think that's because I like to experience clear demonstrations of "ideas". Like "we had the idea that throwing a little electric sitar into our big band arrangement of this rock tune would make it a little hipper for the kids". We've had this discussion a thousand times before and I realize I don't make very clear distinctions between kitsch, cheese and "irony". But to me all those things imply a "failure" of some type. One idea too many crowded into the arrangement. Or an inappropriate cover. Something that stands out as "out of place". Trying a bit too hard. Introducing elements that you can't quite control. Easy listening has made me much more aware of "arranging" than I was before. And it's made me appreciate lush beautiful arranging much more. Some of the stuff I'm thinking about here - Michel Legrand, some Francis Lai, even some of those early seventies Andre Kostelanetz records produced by Teo Macero - might be what you mean by "un-ironic listening". Music where all the elements seem to come together. But having become a fan of arranging, it's also given me an interest in arranging ideas that don't quite work. Music where some of the elements are out there on their own, trying - but failing - to disappear inside the arrangement. Anyway that's enough for a pre-Xmas rant. Around here, irony is not dead.

There's really nothing wrong with seeing irony where none was meant to exist. In fact it seems to be a sign of some sort of evolution in listening skills. And to appreciate it and snicker at it simultaneously is not a bad thing is it? Does it lessen the value of the music to perceive irony within it? Does it cheapen you to listen to it? Not attacking you, but its all good. It took a long time to get from "groovy" as a cliche to a definably "groovy" sound. It works for me.

Hear, hear! It's probably a sin to say so, but I've begun to pay more attention to arranging than to musical prowess. MIchael asked about Charlie Byrd--I've got four or five of his albums, and I like them alright, but there's nothing very exciting (to me) about the arrangements, so I hardly ever listen to them. It's the genius of arranging that makes it possible to listen to thirty different versions of Baubles, Bangles and Beads (a personal favorite) and like every one of them. Of course, the song has to be good to begin with, I don't deny that. But I guess I don't find the "chops" of any given performer more interesting than the arrangement of the tune (with some notable exceptions--Jimmy Smith, for example, although here the critical point may be style rather than technical skill).

To continue with the sitar theme...on the other hand, while that bizarre sitared "Up, Up, and Away" on the Incredibly Strange Music comp always fills me and my wife with glee whenever it surprises us on one of my car tapes, my enjoyment of that piece of work is ultimately hollow.

While some music is born from irony (The Village People), for the most part, irony is something a listener chooses to contribute. So while I'm sure there must be some folks out there who also enjoy the Gleason "Now Sound" record, but only because it's so kooky, their enjoyment is of a lesser sort. Yes, I'm am making a quality judgment here: Ironic listening is an inferior form of appreciation. I'm a fan of Dada. Duchamp's inverted urinal "Fountain" is undeniably touched by comedy. But it also contains the mysteries of the universe. A viewer who merely "gets the joke" doesn't get the whole picture. > > Easy listening has made me much more aware of "arranging" than I was > before.

Failure is also fine with me. I have a record called "Organ Magic", by Al Bollington on Concert Recordings. He's trying his hand at an assortment of solo pieces on electric Wurlitzer 4520. His version of Quiet Village, from timpani effect drum beginning to tropical bird sound end, is inept. But no matter -- this is why I think his performance is such a thing of beauty. Had he been more of a virtuoso, talent would have gotten in the way of the music. --crymad # 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: crymad Subject: Re: (exotica) Laurindo Almeida, A Man And A Woman Date: 21 Dec 2001 19:49:49 -0800 DJJimmyBee@aol.com wrote: > > << At 12:43 AM 12/21/01 -0800, crymad wrote: > > > >Groovy gets to be a bit tiresome after a while, though.

With ironic listening? Yes, yes, yes. Quite simply, irony demands two sets of listeners: one group who gets it, and another group who's in the dark. It's not about you and the night and the music.

Date: 22 Dec 2001 11:27:30 -0500 I will offer my standard rant about Dean Elliott here. Dean Elliott, outside of this record, is perhaps best known as a musical collaborator for Chuck Jones while Jones was at MGM, and then afterwards as well. What always kills me is that as a composer for cartoons - particularly "Tom and Jerry" in 1965/66, Elliott obviously had the same sidemen as on "Zounds!" and many of the same mod-with-a-vengeance touches, but the brilliance level is not even close. His cartoons scores are uninspired, and have none of the subtlety of Jones' most famous cartoon score composers, among them Carl Stalling, Milt Franklyn, and Eugene Poddany. There was a similar problem in the '60s when William Lava filled in after Franklyn's death at Warner's in '62, but Lava redeemed himself in glorious fashion when he was assigned to "F-Troop" in '65/'66.

It >wouldn't be as good if I were driving alone. I'll certainly agree that "Up Up and Away" by Rajput and the Sepoy Mutiny is pretty well the Mrs.Miller of sitar records. No offense to anyone who enjoys Mrs. Miller without irony. And I now understand the distinction you were trying to make. But just barely. And my lack of understanding may have something to do with the fact that I no longer see things in terms of "guilty pleasures". My guilty pleasures for the most part have become my pleasures. I can only think of a very few scattered examples of music where the "funny" part outweighs the part I genuinely enjoy. Jerry Vale comes to mind. I've become a huge fan of that whole era of "crooners" but Jerry's still a bit oily to me. And his version of "Love grows where my Rosemary goes" in particular, always makes me want to laugh. I might say the same thing for The Living Voices doing "Like a Rolling Stone" and a few other examples in that area. Enoch Light Singers - or was it Ray Charles - doing "Hello I love you" also. And I might be willing to admit a bit of ironic enjoyment in some extreme examples of sunshine psychedelia I've been indulging in lately. Free Design may be a true pleasure but there are bands who do the same thing not nearly so well and the excesses are more noticeable. But the problem I have with your original statement is that you applied it to the word "groovy". And perhaps we jumped to conclusions. But it seemed that you were implying that the very idea of grooviness required ironic listening if it's to be appreciated. And it's a familiar refrain. Maybe you didn't mean to imply such a thing but we've heard it before from others. And perhaps the reason we hear the implication is because when we first came upon this music ourselves, there was a touch or irony in our own enjoyment. You said "groovy gets a bit tiresome after a while". I can appreciate that. That even happens to me and "groovy" is my middle name (in Yiddish anyway.) But what is it about grooviness that gets tiresome? Tiresome implies that you're doing something besides just listening. What is it you're doing? Nodding your head and thinking "Ain't I groovy?" I don't know where to go with this. Nice to be talking about music for a change.

Notr only will you find masterworks of the genre but you'll then have pointers to work by other artists, and complete albums by the featured artists. You'll want to know about people like Vladimir Ussachevsky, Tod Dockstader, Morton Subotnick, the "Kontakte" and "Mikrophonie" of Karleinz Stockhausen, Hugh Le Caine who was another delightful mad inventor, David Rosenboom (a bit later)... the list goes on and on.

I've one that would do the trick - it's a French 3 CD set I got from Jack Diamond a couple of years ago - he may still have a few around. It's Pierre Schaeffer, the "father of musique conrete" and his collaborator, Pierre Henry. Three CD's and a booklet covering a span of thirty years of work. Be warned, this is the hard stuff. No bubbly, cartoony fun here - this is the dark side. I can't get thru one CD without turning it off. I see Carl just mentioned Tod Dockstader. I've heard a record of his on Folkways, "Eight Electronic Pieces" which is interesting.

This is for Clayton Black. A reward for his perfect statement there. Maybe you won't appreciate it out of context. But these are the liner notes from a pretty mediocre "now sound" record by Charlie Byrd called "Aquarius". "Hey, you holding this new Charlie Byrd album. I'm talking to you. Whay are you buying this record? Do you think you know what kind of music you'll get when you play this LP for the first time? Does Charlie Byrd make your kind of music? Or is this a purchasing gambit, with you buying the name of the hit song? Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in from the rocker-socker Broadway production of Hair, under the assumption that with the combination of this star-making song and the proven musicianship of Charlie Byrd you can't possibly lose? It is a reasonable supposition. Like me, are you tired of hearing Halloween noises when the windmills of your mind fill with weird non-music careening over the airwaves on radio, over the box with the big eye (and tin ear), on and off Broadway, and even now on the way to invading Okefenokee Swamp (Nashville Country)? Do you still crave "real" music played by deft, trained and flexible fingers of live musicians who play sounds dictated by their inner ear rather than the inner tubes and channels of an electronics specialist? Then you are right on both aforementioned counts, and now, relax. We are ready when you are, C.B. You can make music for us and make the sun shine in (in stereo) through my revolving musical windowbox anytime, Charlie Byrd! We need the likes of you to keep us tuned in to the still lyrical, still melodic and highly inventive instrumental complexities of today's sounds and scenes. YOur mixture of jazz, classical, bossa nova and contemporary is more than enough to placate your followers. This album of Right-Now songs will probably convert a whole new coterie of jaded listeners into Byrd-watchers, and it will return some of the older folks to the fold." All I can say to that last statement is a huge "NOT!!!" I guess you'd have to hear the record to understand the uh... "irony" involved in these liner notes. He does an okay version of "Time of the Season", I'll give him that. But it doesn't matter that he's a good musician or that he has Bobby Rosengarden AND Ed Shaughnessy AND Bernard Purdie all playing drums. Or that he has Vinnie Bell on electric guitar. The arrangements by the great Teo Macero basically suck. And I can only assume that they suck because of some limitations in Charlie's approach to everything. He has this strangely busy style of guitar playing and it can't just be superimposed on everything. But that's what he does. And the arrangements seem incredibly busy and messy and you just want to scream "fire that friggin guitar player and maybe we'll have something here!" thanks clayton AZ # 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: (exotica) my xmas comp Date: 23 Dec 2001 15:11:31 +0100 Inspired by the wonderful comp Vern Stolz sent me last year, I decided to make a christmas comp myself this year.

All the computerized realization music had to be transferred to punchcards at some point. The Columbia-Princeton Center IBMs worked on the punch card system - in fact, another one of those samplers relates solely to to compositions realized at that now-legendary center - and so did other music computers which worked on a now-passe system which universities employed (and upon which the internet backbone was founded really) called VAX. More recently, computerised notation systems have been developed and employed by Larry Polansky and by his students and collaborators. Music by computers has not entirely gone the way of the Groove Box - some of the formalised approach survives.

Okay. I suspect we're just talking to each other at this point but I'm starting to understand your point of view. You're equating "groovy" with upbeat, happy music. And while I don't think that groovy implies upbeat and happy, a lot of the music that I would label "groovy" is also upbeat and maybe even happy. And it's funny you're focussing on that aspect of it because most of the time, I listen to music that could be called "sad" and I've often dismissed music for being too happy, upbeat, celebratory. That's one of the reason I dismiss ska, polka, even traditional (or "hot") jazz. Same with all that Cuban jazz that's been "rediscovered" in the last few years. And yet, the one notable exception to my anti-happy taste, is the Now Sound, go-go and groovy soundtracky stuff that we're talking about here. I've often wondered what the difference was between the happy music I hate and the happy music I like. I guess the simple answer is that I like that quality which makes me identify something as "groovy". That quality somehow supercedes the upbeat happy thing that usually turns me off. Not all upbeat, happy music is "groovy". But when it is groovy, I like it. I don't think I can define "groovy" but I'm sure that there's a nostalgic quality to it. It's groovy if it reminds me of a certain sound that was fairly prevalent in the last sixties. I know that I have a connection to music of that period. I don't know if it's MORE than nostalgia. So what have we established? I think you equate all upbeat, happy, high-spirited music with "groovy" whereas I think that only a very small sliver of upbeat music qualifies as groovy. I agree with you that upbeat music is tiresome. But I make an exception for groovy upbeat music. I do have some theories for why I make that exception. Besides nostalgia. One is that a lot of groovy music is only slightly upbeat. IF I still danced, I could dance to groovy music more easily than let's say, ska. I can snap my fingers or tap my feet to Quincy Jones' version of "Jive Samba" whereas with ska or polka, I'd just have to jump around and hope I hit the beat a few times just on account of the law of averages. I think a lot of groovy music operates at a tempo which is "natural" for me. I also think it often has a jazzy feel without the annoying aspects of jazz. If I just think about Mel Torme's "Coming Home Baby" record, I start to bob my head and dance ever so slightly in my chair. Groovy baby. (Shagadelic!)

I will say that what The Hellers were all about was advertising. This is not an advertsing promo, but that's their background and this is their only public release - all other records they made were send out as promotional material. They were good! When you have 30 to 60 seconds to pitch a product over radio, you'd better be! The Hellers head hancho was Hugh Heller, of the Heller-Ferguson Corporation. They were in the business of putting together advertising jingles and commercial spots for radio stations. Next week's upload will be part two, the ever rarer promos send to potential clients - leave room on your CD-R if you are making two-fers, you won't want to miss these! bye for now - ford # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Carl Howard" Subject: Re: (exotica) upload of the week - part one Date: 24 Dec 2001 10:24:51 -0500 I just downloaded and put this on, and already it's obvious that it's gonna box my ears...

This album was finally reissued on CD a few years ago and I snapped it up. We played it for our two year old last year as lullaby music when he went to bed. Now, a year later, we have been unable to find any other music to play that he will accept to listen. Riley, now three, still loves to listen to "Perry Como!" It isn't so bad, though it did cause some confusion a few months back when I tried to trick him into listen to "Perry Coma" on the Don Tiki album.

Apparently, if they aren't online their shared tracks are unavailable, except in a few rare instances where AG seems to have the track stored on its own servers. Additionally, AG lets you search for FTP servers from which you can also download songs. Sometimes there is a password that is needed, but usually that is listed along with the server info and URL. And, occasionally you have to upload in order to download. I haven't done this as much, but I'm planning on getting into that soon since that is where you are more likely to find entire albums as opposed to the hunt & peck method of searching for single tracks. So, there are user IDs which, obviously, each user has. And there are server IDs which each FTP server has. If you know a specific user or server you can search for them and then browse through all their titles if they're currently online. I've been finding as much stuff on AG as I used to on Napster. I wouldn't wait too long though. I can't see much difference between what AG is doing and what Napster did so I suspect that as more and more people log on there is more and more liklikhood the recording cabal will try to pull the plug on the whole thing.

That's one of the main differences with Napster, Morpheus, WinMX, etc. With these programs the search results are only relevant at that very moment, whereas AG uses a very large database (I think it's cddb, or whatever it's called) for track info. It's my experience that at least 80-90% of the tracks that I que for download actually show up on my hard drive within a couple of days. > I haven't done this as much, but I'm > planning on getting into that soon since that is where you are more likely > to find entire albums as opposed to the hunt & peck method of searching for > single tracks. That's where Hyperku.com can come in handy. It puts entire albums (or at least all their respective tracks) in your download que at once.

I mean, besides the obvious "lets show off the nifty new stereo hi-fi" angle. ;) # 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 Hoffman" Subject: Re: (exotica) albums ending in "a"...and today's score Date: 27 Dec 2001 23:19:00 -0500 >From: "oro" >How many albums out there end in "a" ? >Exotica by Martin Denny >Exotica II by Martin Denny >Exotica III by Martin Denny >Orienta by The Markko Polo Adventurers >Futura by Bernie Green >Dynamica by Ray Martin >Sabra by Ron and Nana >Arriba! by Hugo Montenegro (but I'm not really counting this one) Afro-Desia by Martin Denny Primitiva by Martin Denny Romantica by Martin Denny Exotica by Ted Auletta Aphrodisia by Arthur Lyman [he also did three others but they don't have a contrived name ending in -a: Bwana A, Bahia, Aloha Aloha] David _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJ Marco Subject: (exotica) New Years Eve a-Go-Go in Chapel Hill NC!

On the 20th, Johanne and I snuck off to Lake Placid and got married, in a private ceremony presided over by Justice of the Peace Horace Pratt (whom I chose for the name -- I imagined he would be like the JOP in the Nicholas Ray movie They Live by Night, and he was, sort of. His wife was our witness.) We did this without telling anyone, which means that, technically, we eloped, though at 47 years of age it seems a little pretentious to say that. There was only one exotica angle to all this -- when we got back to the hotel after the ceremony, and turned on the tv, Bob Hope was leading the Seven Little Foys in the sublime Chinatown number.

RPM200 Like most popular institutions Doctor Who has been spawning record releases ranging from the serious to the cash in almost since the day the TV series began. In 1964 Decca, under license from the BBC brought out the original version of the series theme tune , composed by Ron Grainer and realised by the Radiophonic Workshop. From there a number of recordings were made by actors / actresses on the show , plus other spin offs by groups or composers linking their recordings to the show by theme or title. RPM's album collects all these strands together! This is a companion album to the major release programme the BBC have undertaken releasing all the incidental and background music from the TV series and films.) For example - The Go Go's brought out this novelty disc with a girl singer and Dalek voices in between. The Earthlings - first copies of this were banned by BBC Radio as they contained the SOS message in morse. Maclcom Lockyer Orchestra - this was a single that sampled music from the Dr Who & The Daleks film. Roberta Tovey was the actress playing the young girl in the film Dr Who & The Daleks. Frazer Hines played Jamie in the TV series during the late 1960's - Hartnell in to Troughton time. Jon Pertwee - as well known doctor of the early 70's All selections are well known to Dr Who collectors, they have been the subject of chapters in books on Dr Who and trading lists for vinyl collectors. RPM's album is the first time these have been collected together for mainstream consumption. It is anticipated that a second volume will follow up this release , covering the next decade of spin offs. These projects are put together by Dr Who music expert Mark Ayres who has in turn written and recorded music for the TV series and overseen the BBC reissue programme.

I've only ever heard a couple of individual cuts by him that I liked. Surprising actually. Maybe I'm just not seeing his great records. But that "Adventure in Sound" is a score, I'd say. If someone has a clean copy of that, I'd love them to make that their weekly download. I have the record and it's pretty well trashed. My friend found a copy but his sounded just as bad. I get the feeling it's the pressing. I think maybe they put out the record themselves and they just didn't do that good a job. But actually it sounds pretty good when I play it on my old Califone record player with the mysterious needle and the rather heavy tonearm. Of course none of this has anything to do with the music. But that's indescribable so I'm talking about the sound.

In fact when I joined the list I mentioned among my favorites, and every time I listen to it I re-confirm that opinion. I recently picked up Percussion in the Sky, and although I don't like it as much as Hawaiian Swing, I'd still give it a high rating. I've got several non-Phase 4 albums, and my impression is that the Phase 4 stuff is far more interesting. I'm curious, however about Werner's background. I recall either that Darrell or the Space Age Pop site mentions that we know next to nothing about the man. Could he have been a bandleader in the Third Reich? There are several books on the topic of swing music under the Nazis (which I haven't read), and I know that big band music, despite the Nazis' general antipathy to jazz, enjoyed considerable popularity. I wondered this about Bert Kaemfert, but he was a bit too young (I think). Back on topic, is Learn to Love one of the later Phase 4 albums (say, around the time of Chris Waxman's Organized)?

"The Sound of Big Band Jazz in Hi-Fi"--World Pacific This is a terrific compilation of songs with a swinging, almost spy-jazzy kind of feel. Interestingly, the feature of the album, despite solos by such giants as Gerry Mulligan, Art Pepper, Cannonball Adderley, Chet Baker, Zoot Sims, and Bud Shank, is the arrangers (re: recent discussion) Shorty Rogers, Johnny Mandell, Ernie Wilkins, etc. The copy is very clean for 1959, and even though it's probably closer to straight jazz than exotica, I can easily see these tunes finding a place on my tapes (yes, I'm still using tapes). Cannonball Adderley, "African Waltz" I might not have bought this were it not for the title and the screaming woman on the cover. This is the first album by him I have, and frankly I didn't know what to expect. I know it's more JAZZ than exotica (although I don't want to get into definitions again), but it's great in the way "Sound of Big Band in Hi-Fi" is. "The 13 Fingers of Sir Julian" (Mono) I already have this one, but I just couldn't leave it. Still waiting to find a stereo copy. Stanley Black, "Carnival in the Sun" Somebody asked about the pictures of "Big-Eyed" people featured on Edmundo Ros's Calypso album a while back. This album has them too (same label--London). I've always liked Exotic Percussion from Phase 4, but quite a few of the songs on this one have, in my opinion, an even better exotic feel to them--a slower, more mysterious kind of rhumba. There are a few dopey tunes as well, but I was pleasantly surprised by this older release. Hugo Montenegro and His Orchestra, Process 70, Series 2000, Time Records, etc. I love Hugo, but my sense is that this isn't his most exciting. I haven't listened to it all the way through, but it does have one of my favorite versions of "Cry Me a River" on it. John Klein, "A Christmas Sound Spectacular" OD-ing on carillon is easy, but the songs with orchestra are fun, almost ding-dong dandy, I'd say. Eddie Osborn, "Baldwin Organ & Bongos" Weird. It must be the Baldwin organ. I keep buying Audio Fidelity albums and being disappointed by the organ. But I took a chance on the bongos. I can tolerate it, and it might be a good way to get rid of unwanted guests. Lou Rawls, "Merry Christmas Ho! Ho! Ho!" I haven't listened to it yet. I pretty much stop listening to Christmas music once the 25th is past. But, of course, "Merry Christmas, Baby" is a classic. Quincy Jones, "Smackwater Jack" Too recent for my tastes. I would like to get the old stuff on Mercury, and I have his takes on Mancini tunes, but this is too jazz-fusiony for me. Apologies to those who don't like such lists. Happy New Year to all.

Check it out: http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=11686&db=mac It's this program called MacSatellite. Not officially supported (as far as I can tell), but it works.

Soulless, Teutonic easy listening in glassy Phase 4 sound -- God, I love it. The title track with surprising organ solo is the standout. Both sides end with overblown finales ("The Impossible Dream" and "Nights in White Satin"), but you can always just flip the record early. --crymad > AZ # 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: crymad Subject: Re: (exotica) Werner Muller Date: 31 Dec 2001 00:26:42 -0800 clayton black wrote: > > Back on topic, is Learn to Love one of the later Phase 4 albums (say, > around the time of Chris Waxman's Organized)?

No, Muller (1920-1998, real name Heinz Buchholz) didn't become a bandleader until 1948, when he founded the RIAS Tanzorchester (RIAS is - if I'm not mistaken - a Berlin based radio station. The AS refers to the American Sector of Berlin). Before that, between 1946 and 1948, he was a member of the band of Kurt Widman, for whom he wrote arrangements also. He did however get his musical education at a military school. From the late sixties on he was leader of the famous WDR Big Band (which still exists, and is now directed by Jerry van Rooyen). Muller also scored films, worked with Caterina Valente and many other singers, and even wrote four books.

You seem to have the unique ability to ascribe specific qualities to what you like AND what you don't like. That's kind of cool. I can't do that. Maybe Moritz could do it. Maybe a couple of other people here. But not me. I'm securely in the "I don't know much about art but I know what I like" camp. I think it's because in the last six or seven years, I've gotten into so much music that I used to ignore or even hate that there aren't any generalizations that I can safely make anymore. I can't even say that I don't like happy music because then how would I explain The Free Design and all this soft sunshine pop I'm blowing my allowance on? But I think I know what you mean about the soulless sound of Phase Four. I don't know if that's what I like about the Ronnie Aldrich records which I absolutely LOVE. I think I love them for their near perfection of arrangement and sound but I know that they're soulless and and I am surprised I like something so soulless. Maybe I like the soullessness too but I don't know if I can extrapolate that into any of my other tastes. Although sometimes these soft pop records I find are a bit soulless. I can see how, using your terms of reference, you don't like Hawaiian Swing. Do you think you'd like it more if it was just called "Wonky Swing"? Then you wouldn't have any Hawaiian expectations. Do you like Esquivel? He's not exactly relaxing. How consistent are these criteria for you? For instance, you say: >Would Organized qualify as groovy? Cause I do like this one. Yes I would say that Chris Waxman record is pretty darn groovy. For a groovy record, it's a tad soulless. But it's still groovy. So does this mean that you like groovy but you need a little soullessness with your grooviness? I know that my entire post seems a bit facetious and even rhetorical. But I don't mean it that way. If you can outline your taste with any clarity and consistency, I'd be interested.

"Music to Move Families By" a record put out by Allied Van Lines. Dick Boyell has woven his melody created for Allied commercials into a bunch of different styles. Side 1 Allied Moves the Hollywood Bowl (The bowl tracks are not that hot) Allied Moves Down a Country Road (Would Basic-Hip dig the whistling?) Allied Goes A Go-Go (Sounds like something on a Talkin' Verve comp with a stack of horns) Alllied Moves in on a Spy Ring (Mancini-ish with snapping fingers and hammond grooves and a siren at the end) Allied Moves Bourbon Street Allied Moves to Tijuana (Think Lonely Bull/Baja Marimba with one mambo UGH in the middle) Side 2: Allied Moves Brasilia (this has exotica like percussion and bird calls! My favorite track) Allied Moves Around the World (Beatles Ye-Ye/French accordion/Spainish Bullfighting/Russian with a bit of Oriental) Allied Moves It's Hips (Very Bossa Nova-ish with wordless female vocals and sax, Very Gilberto and Getz) After listening to this LP a couple of times thru the basic melody was beginning to get to me. But this is a very nice variations on a theme record very similar to the Marlboro Magnificent Seven cigarette LP. Other recent finds. Dean Martin "Dino Latino" His Cha-Cha D'amor is one of my favorites, being 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Spanish. This one with Don Costa. I finally found a Joanie Sommers LP. "Joanie Sommers arrangements Custom Designed by Neil Helfi". Of course they were custom designed. Lots of cool vibes. Have a happy holiday! Off to mix martinis for the family.

As I mentioned last time, what the Hellers (Heller-Ferguson)were really about was producing advertising jingles/spots/commercials for radio, TV and film. This weeks additions (scroll down past the LP) are the various promotionals they sent to potential clients to showcase examples of their work. Don't miss Johnny Spots, Private Ear with his private dick shtick and Creative Freakout for some top notch commercial work. Johnny Spots (Ben Chandler) also narrates throughout Creative Freakout, this time more in a summer of love kind of way. Both of these have been pared down from the full length recordings which fill the entire sides of the records - there are no individual cuts and sorry, no scans. I'll leave these up for awhile as I need a couple of week break to finish some unfinished business, so no upload til then. Thanks to the help of Ron Grandia, you can now listen to these files streamed through Winamp, if you don't want to bother downloading one at a time. Hellers are here: http://www.basichip.com/album_of_the_week/album.htm I have also uploaded my whistling "Record of the Month", Muzzy Marcellino's "Bird's of a Feather", which came out, I'd guess, around 1958 or 1959. This album easily makes my TOP TEN whistling albums list, wonderful music and a breathtaking cover.

Oh, yeah! I found this one a while back and totally agree. Glad to know it is around other places. And, yes, don't listen to it all at once! The theme just doesn't carry like Peter Gunn or The Third Man Theme...but each cut heard individually it is very cool! I could probably make some mp3 files of it and stick it up on my website if no one else is doing it. My copy is in excellent shape (as I imagine most copies would be) and I have space to do this. I just don't always have the time (or maybe I just don't have the software), so it could take a couple of weeks. Byron ___...--''''***^^^^^^""""""^^^^^***''''---___ "Life is short.
