From: "Mark E. Renwick" Subject: (exotica) Early Ferrante And Teicher Date: 01 Jun 1997 09:40:37 -0400 I have a 2-track, 7-inch reel-to-reel demo tape produced by Sonotape for the 1957 Chicago and New York audio shows. Sonotape was affiliated with Westminster Records. One of the selections on the tape is "Peg-Leg Meringue" by Ferrante and Teicher in there prepared piano mode. It is one of my favorite recordings of F&T. Unfortunately, it's the only F&T on the tape. According to the announcer (Lloyd Moss of New York WQXR fame), it's from a full-length Sonotape called "Latin American Adventure." Does anyone know if "Latin American Adventure" or "Peg-Leg Meringue" were ever released on LP? To the best of my knowledge, the Sonotape catalog was released on reel-to-reel tape, only. --Mark Jacksonville, Florida, USA tibia@compuserve.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/tibia # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kerry Keane Subject: (exotica) Moog Exotica! Date: 01 Jun 1997 14:16:12 -0500 (CDT) I had the greatest score yesterday, and I just have to gloat all about it on here. Martin Denny's Moog Exotica on -- get this -- 8-TRACK! Fortunately, my 8-track is still working, so I popped the thing in as soon as I got home. It bleeds a little bit, but that only adds to its psychedelic quality. Unlike a lot of moog records, it is not at all dopey; it's totally listenable from start to finish, and the reworking of Quiet Village is terrific. Sort of reminds me of a Ventures album. Even the cover is excellent. Kerry L.

The following is excerpted from the *excellent* liner notes by Robert L. Campbell, included with the 2-CD compilation SUN RA: THE SINGLES, on Evidence Records: "Sun Ra took a special interest in the composition "I'm Gonna Unmask the Batman." He retooled it in more traditional fashion and in later years, his nightly blues piano feature could acquire these lyrics without warning. Why would Ra take such a liking to this number? Presumably because of his most famous incognito appearance, back in January, 1966, when a motley crew consisting of Sonny (on Hammond organ), Jimmy Owens, Tom McIntosh, John Gilmore, Pat Patrick and the entire first edition of The Blues Project masqueraded as "The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale" and cut the Batman theme (plus an ersatz theme for Robin, and various rock instrumentals of dubious origin) for an album called BATMAN AND ROBIN (Tifton S-78002)."

The mono record I think has a different track listing - or that may be "Soundblast." There's a confusing history to those titles that a resident expert can clear up hopefully....

Any ideas? According to Sun Ra expert and discographer Robert Campbell, "The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale Play Batman & Robin" LP on Tifton (S-78002; 1966) does include performances by Ra on organ, plus Arkestra members John Gilmore on tenor sax, Marshall Allen on alto sax, and Pat Patrick on bass. They played on the tracks on Side 1. The other side has Blues Project members Al Kooper, Danny Kalb, Steve Katz, Andy Kulberg, and Roy Blumenfeld. The vocalists are unknown. I've heard the album and it's very straight ahead budget label rock; one would not guess any of these illustrious players from the sound of it. Just some quick money for Sunny and the boys. (yeah, one of those organ solos is a little out, but not too far.) br cleve # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mark Miester Subject: Re: (exotica) Glyn Styler/MSR/NPR Date: 01 Jun 1997 18:17:35 -0600 >While in New Orleans for the Jazz Fest, I caught a favorite local act that >has opened for Com Ed several times that would be of interest to members of >this list.

Styler has been the most innovative talent in New Orleans for some time now, but he refuses to tour or gig regularly or, for that matter, engage in any of the other conventions that bands think they need to in order to succeed, so he's still pretty much a cult figure at best. His voice and choice of material are impressive (at his last performance he covered Laura Nyro!) but what makes him so fascinating is his obsessively gloomy originals, compositions that make Hal David and Jacques Brel sound like romantic optimists. On that theme, he has a followup to the incredible "Live at the Mermaid Lounge" in the works. It should be out by August. It's a single that features a duet with, of all people, Lydia Lunch on Brel's "The Desperate Ones" backed with an original that has to be heard to be believed, "Casket Made for Two." Styler doesn't like to tour as such, but he's going to be in Chicago and Los Angeles this summer and he plays Boston and New York maybe once or twice a year, so check him or his CD out if you get the chance.

A mysterious stranger called me the other day, and despite the trouble she had getting complete English words out of her mouth, the caller purported to be the infamous Lounge Laura and said that she had "a message of Love and Peace to share with all on the Exotica Mailing List." -- With a special shout out to Ursula (you lucky devil)! I hung up on her before she could spit out this sentimental pap and the caller ID didn't flash LOUNGE LAURA in liquid crystal letters, so I cannot confirm the source as legitimate. But I do believe sincerely that Lounge Laura still walks among us... somewhere. Oh!

The good Brother Cleve actually performed a hometown(?) gig which I thought I'd never see. Herr Millionenaire counted backwards in German superbly, and I wondered (as always) if he got his guitar from the estate of Billy Zoom (R.I.P.). So... no records bought this weekend, but I was trembling in anticipation of opening this Tony Randall children's record a friend gave to me. I think Mr. Rogers used his great power to suppress Tony's release. But I hold high hopes for it, once I bust it out and slap it down to spin...
