Lenny Dee Down South, I have it right here, as a matter of fact. It was up on the wall for the longest time. The cover looks like this : there is a blonde babe on a single water ski in the foreground; behind her is Lenny, who is on a raft, which is equipped with an outboard motor but being towed...he's playing the organ and giving the smiling gal a curious glance...and on top of the organ are three small dogs. If you actually look at the photograph it's a real mind bender...just what was going on there? One of my favorites, to be sure. The tunes are stuff like Georgia on My Mind and the Tennessee Waltz, it's great. Country music on organ, sure, you can't beat it. Of course, I like the Three Suns Country Music Shindig, too. I only have four or five Lenny Dee albums, only two of them from his prime. I found a copy of Dee-Licious a couple of weeks ago but it was just beat to hell. Oh well, guess I'll keep lookin'. # 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: Shangri-la Subject: RE: (exotica) Les Baxter-Hell's Belles Date: 01 Oct 1997 10:08:03 +-200 Is this a good Les Baxter soundtrack ?

Date: 01 Oct 1997 14:13:12 +0200 >the above available on cd.. as are: > >Super Sounds of Bosworth I and II Our State radio corporation dumped their entire lp library a couple of years back. Amongst the remains I bought these blue-and-white "Bosworth Backrounds" records. The covers are seriously elevator (blue and white with text only) - some of the faster beaty stuff is brilliant early 70's easyrock. They often have one side of full lenght tracks and many small 30sec intro's/outro's on the flipside. Are these related to the above re-release? There are at least 4 brands I've come across sofar of this music for radio/tv backrounds & I'm sure there are hundreds. They often turn out great and I wonder how many good musicians/arrangers/composers ended up on these labels. Happy Records, a german equavalent to Bosworth, is another winner (featured Werner Drexler & orch), and Studio35 (cover always has studio console) released a great Gerhard Narholtz & orch. This is great stuff and I've noticed that he is often covered on other Happy-ish records. Do similar brand-type backround lp's circulate in the U.S.A and are they as good? It seems to be quite a german thing or maybe that's just what we got.

Visitors ride a spherical, oddly named elevator into a maze of cubes containing pictures of the hope and havoc of space and the atom. "First floor," chants the pilot, "threats and thresholds, frustrations and fulfillments, challenges and opportunities." The Bubbleator was Washington State's official exhibit in the Coliseum housed a "World of Tomorrow" exhibit. The Bubbleator, a 150-passenger spherical clear plastic elevator moved 2.5 million people through displays that promised an easier life ahead. The operator wore a silver shiny space suit right out of a Buck Rogers comic strip and is veeeeeery, very cool indeed and the music to "Man in Space with Sounds" was being played through the sound system. Totally outer space man, totally. "Visitors ascend to the exhibit in a globe-shaped elevator for a 21-minute tour of the future." Visitor's to the Seattle World's Fair loved the Bubbleator ride, which was eventually purchased for $5,100 and relocated after the fair's end to the Center House/Food Circus/Armory. In the early 80's the Center House was remodeled and the Bubblelator was auctioned off (amount unknown). The unknown buyer moved it to their home in North Seattle and turned it into a terrarium and that's where it sits today. "Attileo Mineo Conducts Man In Space With Sounds" is the record and the electronic outer space exotica music with spoken word introductions that was played in the Bubbleator at the Seattle State World's Fair Soon to be released on CD Jack Diamond # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Magnus Sandberg Subject: (exotica) Rare Music Date: 01 Oct 1997 13:31:41 +0100 A new look and new artists at: http://www.raremusic.com Lord Sitar, Erotica the rythms of love and George Cates (!).

"Deep in the > Heart of Texas" was the standout track, if geographically skew-wiff. > Does this parade still go on today? Yes, every January 1st, or a substitute day, depending on bad weather on the 1st. I think they had a little trouble with losing their day-long tv coverage a year or so ago, but another station picked it up. > If so, is the music the same? I would imagine so. They may be covering some more recent tunes, but the nature of the Mummers' sound is that their style pretty much dominates the material. I think they could cover Stockhausen and it would still sound like typical Mummers fare. > If so, what do the bandsmen _do_ the rest of the year? I imagine them sitting in their clubhouses drinking beer and sewing new feathers and sequins on their costumes. But please don't consider that to be an accurate picture. For those who don't know have any idea what we're talking about, the Mummers' costumes are sort of a male version of Las Vegas showgirl costumes, thankfully minus the exposure factor (though there is a drag element as well). Duh. I cleverly forgot -- we're on the framdam internet!

If anybody knows = more please let me know!! Another favourite of mine is Bob Kayser's Marimba Band. Also on Happy = Records, it features the same slick production, over simplistic cover = (if you see these records in a thrift shop, chances are you won't buy = it, for the covers consist mostly of background colour and font!), and = cross section of unknown musicians... Then there is Intersound. Another German label that gets me curious. Not = all their releases are that good but some are of the same high standard = as the Happy Records stuff. Etienne Capp and Kookie Freeman and = Orchestras being good examples. One particularly strange Intersound = release is Plastic Zoo by Harry Winkler. It is a bizarre concoction of = what sounds like early sampling (all animal sounds) or electronically = recreated animal sounds, and easy funk. I have no release date, but = guess late seventies. The cover features a plastic dolphin with bow tie = and top hat. Musicians featured are: The Baa Lambs, Bahama Llama, Billy = Goat, Blue Gnu, Clarabella Cow, Rocky Cock etc.=20 I unwillingly think back to the Matterhorn Project's Moo Song....

Owner Steve Spain (who DJ's the 999999s on Saturday nights) has been hit hard by the lengthy construction project on Ninth St. so business is really slow. That means lots of stock -- vinyl and CD including lots of classic lounge, etc. On a not-totally-unrelated note, I just picked up Pizacatto 5's newest CD at Holy Cow and I'm hooked on track 13, Happy Endings, a completely addictive cut.

Let me set the mood. You're a youngster. It's Sunday, and you're stuck at your grandparents' house. No other kids to play with -- nothing but grownups. And you don't have your toys, so you're getting mighty bored. Still, hope springs eternal -- maybe you can watch some cartoons on the TV! But as you approach the living room, you hear syrupy organ music. And as you enter the room, you look at the screen and see... http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/larry.html I think this is younger Larry from the 50's. I seem to recall him looking a bit older in the late 60's / early 70's era. Not quite as smooth-skinned as he appears here. The image comes from a postcard in Ross' possession, produced in 1991 by Quantity Postcards. Although we think they probably pirated the image themselves (they refer to him as "Larry Lamborghini", for one), they do have a copyright symbol slapped on it. So we'll be nice and list their address here.

Now, it features a sample from Taboo, either from Robert Drasnin or Warren Barker I think, can't remember (almost all of my records are in the-not-so-verry-sunny-Sweden.) Ashley - yobehindis? (It has a '97 Cheescake cover too - woman under water.) And another thing. I have a record by the Polynesians on Crown, I think it has the same photo on the cover as Exotica Suite by Denny. Same story here, I don't have'm in front of me. Any truth in this? Aloha daa.

One is "Flame of Love" and the other is "I Just Wanna Be Your Lovin' Baby." They're not as far out as "The Passions," but it's kind of neat to hear Bas sing actual words. ^_- Anyone ever see this one?

Bought 47 for nothing. Some are wonderful, and especially one was a nice surprise. "Hawaii by George Cates". Really good. Anybody have any info on him?" I have an album by George Cates called Polynesian Percussion which is one of my all-time favorites. Great arrangements of classic tunes, lots of nutty percussion and those eerie female vocals from a group of gals let by none other than Norma Zimmer, of Lawrence Welk fame. George was Welks musical director for a time, I believe, and if you start perusing the many releases on the Dot label by Welk, Myron Floren and so on, you'll see a lot of arrangement and production credits in his name. I'd love to find more of his rcords, that's for sure. # 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: nytab@pipeline.com (Lou Smith) Subject: (exotica) Japan wants your smelly Nikes Date: 03 Oct 1997 17:15:37 GMT As a follow-up to a recent thread: -L > > COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Small Earth Inc. wants your old Nike >shoes and its willing to pay big bucks regardless of style, size or even >odor. > The co-owners of the Grand Rapids, Mich., company are in Ohio through >the weekend -- the sixth stop this year in their quest for vintage Nike >footwear. > Chuck Vander Hoek today says he and co-owner Andrew Drasiewski will >pay up to $600 for 1985-91 Air Jordans, 1984-86 Terminators and Dunks, >and the 1985 Air Max Runner. > He says the value is in the style, size and condition; the rarer the >sneaker, the higher the price he will pay.

With the steady cowbell and lurching piano bassline, with occasional colorful outbursts over top, it really draws up the blueprint for that later style. The only element it lacks is the wacka-chaka guitar. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised -- Schifrin is involved on both ends of the string, so to speak -- but I was just struck with what a strong foreshadowing it is. Are there more early examples?

The electric harpsichord was made by the Baldwin piano company and marketed during the early and mid 60's. It was a fairly large keyboard, resembling a real harpsichord (or small grand piano), probably about 3 or 4 feet long to accommodate the strings which were plucked. The Hohner Clavinet, which made its debut in '66 or '67, utilized the same principal, but the strings are under the keyboard, making the thing the size of a compact organ. It has 2 pickups that can be switched like those on an electric guitar. The clavinet has a cloth in it that dampens the strings, the amount of which can be controlled. The clavinet was used on "The Odd Couple" theme and the theme to "In Like Flint". Funk fans know that the clavinet is played through a wah-wah pedal more often than not. It runs on a 9V battery. Jack noted "The Ipcress File" theme. I believe that's an autoharp (which Mancini used on "Experiment In Terror") or one of it's dulcimer cousins (maybe it's the cymbalum that's mentioned in the liner notes). br cleve/have keyboards, will travel # 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: ChuckTFrog@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Speaking of harpsichord Date: 04 Oct 1997 00:51:31 -0400 (EDT) Let us not forget one of the GREAT tunes of all time, (w/ or w/out than noble instrument) featuring a harpsichord lead: DELICADO by Percy Faith @ Orch # 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: ChuckTFrog@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Mission Impossible theme Date: 04 Oct 1997 00:58:59 -0400 (EDT) Does it bother anyone besides me that the "new" version of the M.I. theme changes to 4/4 time after the intro (in 5/4)?

This is a fine collection of James Brown and Meters covers (plus a Manu Dibango cover ("Soul Makossa") and a few originals) from Bill "Ravi" Harris in a sitar stylee (with solid bass, drums, organ backing). Don't know when these recordings were made but apparently: "with newly wed Gina Harris on organ, Ravi Harris and the Prophets' were soon gigging regularly around the Bay Area coffee houses and hotel lounges" so I imagine some of our CA correspondents must have come across this lot before. It's out here in the UK on LP/CD on Barely Breaking Even (BBELP002), contact address: benjolly@aol.com. Stand out track for me is the "Gimme Some More/Hot Pants Medley" but there are plenty of seriously funky sitar tracks to choose from - you need this album!

I just don't think Americans know how to dance to 5/4. (well, I don't. Then again, I don't even know how to dance to 3/4). I've noticed that film making these days is not about the actual film, but about marketability....everything from broadcast rights to overseas distribution to merchandise.

Cleve for the electric harpsichord and clavinet information. You saved me a (possibly fruitless) websearch there. I would imagine the popularity of these keyboards in that 60's era was a simple function of recording artists seeking out new sounds from new instruments. Another album with harpsichord is Lawrence Welk's "Calcutta!" (DOT DLP 3359). "The smash hit single leads a parade of instrumental hits," they say. Also, "Featuring Frank Scott at the harpsichord." And tying into Dave HiFi's post a couple of days ago, George Cates is listed as one of the (7) arrangers. The tracks include the ever-popular "Perfidia" and "April In Portugal", but to my ears, it's all a little too clean and brittle sounding to take in one sitting.

RCA LSP-2117 More chorus...sometimes very inventive, sometimes not so. Just like I found with the Jankowski LP, the original cuts (as in the title selection) were more interesting than the arrangements of standards. The cover was a bit abused, but I'm glad to have the album. Ebb Tide Earl Grant Decca. Actually I had a stereo copy of this that was very noisy from whence I learned how inventive his arrangements are. This copy was meant to replace that one because the vinyl and cover were in much better condition, alas it was in mono. I had avoided even listening to the stereo copy because I had assumed it was too e-z for me...but not true!! I guess it was the all too serene cover which fooled me. Music for Dancing The Merlin Trio Grand Prix. There is no info about this group, but they sound like Three Suns copycats, which is okay because the more Three Suns there are the better! Merlin is not quite as interesting as the Suns, but its music does not just lie there either. Accordian, amplified guitar and electric organ. Of course, I found some duds, too: All the French Hits Kurt Maier Rondo. I was suspicious, but the record was in good shape and the cover was great (DeeDee Woods, who ever that is). Turns out to be a badly recorded classical pianist with a high school drummer. Many of the songs did not even end properly (the tape ran out?). The Heart of Hawaii (various) GNP. This record was only useful in that I learned what GNP stands for: Gene Norman Presents. Ray Kinney's vocals harken back to bad crooning from the 1920's.

From his page on the Space Age Pop Standards website: >http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/cates.htm> George Cates Born 19 October 1911, New York City, New York Lawrence Welk's musical right-hand man for over 25 years, Cates was a bald, goateed, beatnik-looking guy who occasionally strayed from the straight and dull path of "champagne music" to create some strange and irreverent sounds. His album "Polynesian Percussion" features cool instrumental work by brothers-in-law Alvino Rey and Buddy Cole on console guitar and "Novachord" (an early electronic organ), as well as the requisite 15-plus strange percussion instruments. Perhaps Cates was never quite able to shake off the experience of working with the slapstick vaudeville comedy team of Olsen and Johnson on their legendary revue, "Hellzapoppin," after his graduation from New York University. Most of his recordings and much of his work with Welk is, to belie the title of one of his own albums, not the least bit "Exciting." Cates began vectoring down a path of sweet bands to Welk's, arranging and playing saxophone with Henry Busse, Dick Stabile, and Russ Morgan between 1945 and 1951. He served as A&R director for Coral Records in the mid-1950s, and wrote and conducted for the label's stars, including Teresa Brewer, the Andrews Sisters, Bing Crosby, and Danny Kaye. During this time, he hit the Top 40 charts with his cover of "Moonglow/Theme from 'Picnic'," which included wordless vocal effects by long-time Welk star Norma Zimmer. Cates also composed "Champagne Time," the tune Welk used as his theme song after leaving the ABC network for syndication in 1971.

I second Vik's emotion! Songs of adventure + disappointment that won't disappoint disaffected space-agers. Serious (sirius), sensuous, and swellegant songs of pre-millenium angst that wander to and fro between what's been left behind and where in the world we are now.

Out of all the pronounciations, this one seems the best, but if you know German, the last part would be Kemp-fairt as the "E" is pronounced like a long "a" in English. If it were "furt", I believe it would be a "u" instead of an "e". But this is not a name that is likely to cause great embarrassment whilst in Germany as it looks and sounds pretty much the same....

He's fighting to regain the name for himself. ----------- I've seen this, but you know, Robert Moog sold the name and the company once, and it changed hands some ridiculous number of times, finally being run into the ground some time in the 80s. I think Robert Moog always ran it, but he ceased owning it outright at some time fairly early in the game. Many electronic instrument companies saw huge fluctuations in the popularities of their products, and the people that started them were tinkerers and creative scientists who often lacked a real flair for business. Anyway, now Moog Music Inc. is being resuscitated, and is building the modular systems and the Minimoog again, all to original specs. For more information on Moog and many other really nifty synthesizers, i strongly recommend Mark VAil's book "Vintage Synthesizers" published by Ziff Davvis (I believe). It includes really cool information on Moog modular stuff, Buchla equipment (used to great ends by Morton Subotnick) and EMS Synthi equipment (used best, I think, on John Keating's Space Experience Vol 1, two tracks from which are on the Sound Gallery Vol. I comp.) One more note, Moog Music Inc. is fighting the same battle, and unfortunately, I think Robert Moog indeed sold his name at some point. You know, Famous Amos doesn't own his cookies anymore, either. That's what you get for starting a business with the same name as your surname, and then selling it, at least in this country.

I see now that there's also a good "music biz dirt" company history at: http://www.synthmuseum.com/moog/index.html According to that, Norlin bought out Moog, the company, in about 1973. Moog, the man, left in 1977 when his employment contract expired (Norlin had a good go at running Gibson guitars into the ground as well). > For more information on Moog and many other really nifty synthesizers, > i strongly recommend Mark VAil's book "Vintage Synthesizers" Online-wise, I also recommend synthmuseum.com (link above).

Until James Bond, it was always "Stirred, not shaken" ("don't bruise the gin", my dear old grand-mama' used to day). One never toasts oneself, but smiles graciously, accepting the tribute. Biscotti is the plural of biscotto, therefore you can never order one "biscotti". I guess it's a case of choosing your battles.

Yes, Sukia and Tipsy have very little in common. Tipsy is very much a direct take on exotica and lounge sounds put into a 90s context. Whereas Sukia are lo-fi electro-sleaze. They certainly use exotic elements at times. But while I know it appeals to a lot of people on this list, I also know it would very much NOT appeal to a lot of people on the list. Visually, Sukia put on a manic and trashy live show. Dressing in wigs, jumpsuits, 70/80s kitsch clothes, breakdancing in the audience, you name it. There are 3 guys, one girl - though her image is very androgynous. Also, they on their last tour in the UK (a whole 2 gigs!!!), they played almost all new material - very much on the analogue synthesizer tip. Anything else?

As a musician, I sort of have a foot in both worlds and try to appreciate both. There is no doubt that the high level of musical education and skill of the musicians of yesteryear has fallen by the wayside -- most people I know making electronic music (and rockers too for that matter) don't have a traditional music education. They find it exotic and strange that I know how to read music and can do a bit of arranging for 'real' instruments... lately I've been studying Mancini's excellent textbook, in fact. But as much as i'm glad to be carrying on some of the hallowed art of the past, I would never be one to say that there's any less musical talent in the world today; I just see it beginning to be expressed along different paths. To tell the truth, almost none of the contemporary music that really grabs me and really entrances me is created by old-skool Musicians. True, there are certainly plenty of stoned youngsters with racks of expensive gear pressing buttons and spewing out hours of half-baked blithering rubbish, but at the other end of the scale you have, for example, supposedly genius virtuoso musicians at uppity jazz clubs spewing out limp, meaningless, bloated tapestries of 'talent'. Which is worse? Well, personally, I tend to favor the stoned youngsters, in the very least to counter all the snobby Musicians i've had to endure... But of course even jazz was once very different...back in the 1920's there were a lot of very negative reactions when it broke on the scene -- many people who were into 'real' music (i.e. classical) dismissed it as crude cacophony that debased all the valued tenets of musical art. And worse yet that this new music was oriented around dancing! Who can say whether the urban dance music of today will ever become lionized and legitimate among 'serious' musicians as jazz did eventually, but it has already done one thing that jazz did, which is influence a new generation of mood music. Enter Tipsy. That said, I have to complain that Tipsy are a bit weak when it comes to a sense of structure and songwriting; I think their music could use a little more old-fashioned form and melody. But I love it all the same... and i'm really amazed at their skill and creativity with sampling & arrangement. And of course they have utilized the skills of performing musicians as well, of whom the foremost in my mind is DJ Mixmaster Mike, who is not on the album but has been in several of their live shows. I'm not just saying that for the hell of it, either... thanks for the ranting space, -Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Salter brian@headspace.com / bsalter@slip.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # 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: Stilgloria@aol.com Subject: (exotica) FYI Date: 10 Oct 1997 21:37:44 -0400 (EDT) David Smay told me that the new issue of Outre has an article on Linda Lawson.

As the liner notes state, "Each tells a story, describing in turn a brilliantly colored tree, the tropical grace of the flamingo, the potency of a supernatural drug which brings forgetfulness, and the spell of India told by a traveler from her shores." No dates are given but its on the Columbia Masterworks set x-264. I bought it mainly for the cover, which features a small multi-armed Hindu Goddess. The music itself is much too lush and orchestral for my personal tastes 2) The second set is called "Hawaiian Chants" performed by Al Kealoha Perry and his singing surfriders, put out on Decca Records No. A-464, dated 1946. The front cover has printed in red letters "Ancient Legends in Song", which makes me wonder whether this album set was one in a series. The album set features 4 10" discs, and they are a real joy to listen to (except for Disc 3 where someone had inadvertenly substituted an Hawaiian Fox Trot by some other artist) The chanting is fast paced and very energetic ...it is one of my favorite Hawaiian music albums of all time. . . . . . . . . . .

I was going to stay away from it this time, but you folks got me thinking (and that's never good news): If you are involved in the music at a note by note level, you are creating music. If you are involved at a further remove than that, you are manipulating music. I do not say that with negative intent, but simply on a functional level. When working in this mode, you are not creating new music. But you are creating a new musical experience. And like a visual artist constructing a collage from others' work, you are involved in a remote collaboration with those who created your material. Which adds up to shared authorship. A parallel to the shared authorship of a group of "manual" musicians. Now let's complicate things. I think we mentioned the combination of "manual" music and sample constructions last round. So I'll skip that. Here's a new twist. What about an artist who manually creates a collection of new musical pieces -- and then proceeds to assemble a sample construction using those pieces as material? Or how about a scenario that (totally?) negates a human author? Computer programs that generate music. The programmer is the author of the program (no duh), but who is the author of the music? I've tinkered with that sort of thing a little on a very low budget level, and I'm still not sure what I think about it. One factor that never seems to be mentioned in this recurring sample thread is sequencing vs. live "triggering." But I'm too sleepy to go into that. I almost always prefer "manual" music, because I enjoy hearing personal fingerprints on the sounds. But other approaches can be valid and interesting. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Diamond Subject: (exotica) Playlist for Jack Date: 11 Oct 1997 21:38:20 -0700 KFJC play list 9/28/97 for Jack Diamond ARTIST TRACK ALBUM The Planets Chunky Bill Holman Orch.

I've subjected Australian ears to the LP many times over the last year (despite my copy arriving warped from the US). What I was having a dig at was the unfortunate reality that so many of these electronica outfits, no matter how smart their music might be, are invariably comprised of two kinda washed-out & cynical-looking white guys. I suppose I wonder what's happened to the imaginative cross-cultural collaborations that large groups of musicians so enthusiastically undertook under the name of Exotica.I'm all for electronic music made on keyboards, but why sample all your percussion when you could work with some teenage bongo-meister who could make the music more quirky, less metronomic, more alive? To be fair to Tipsy and Stereolab (as two examples) they namecheck a whole bunch of musicians who contribute to their LPs (hence my comment about Tipsy apparently being an "exotic orchestra"). In fact 'Dots and Loops' (which btw I think is a pretty wonderful 90s pop record) seems to utilise a veritable big band by today's standards, with 4 brass and 4 strings players. But why does the music still sound antiseptic, like it's all been assembled after the recording? (maybe it has) I'm someone who's grown up with Kraftwerk, hip hop, house, techno, electronica - I'm no 'real' music purist - but in my dark moments I feel like we're still wading through the murky waters of rock culture - 40 years of dumbness masquerading as rebellion - and we're afraid to embrace the joyful possibilities of other forms of musical expression. Why can't Electronica be the new Exotica, but instead of 'quoting' music from the past, embrace the former music's spirit of playfulness and collaboration and imagine new combinations for players and programmers? I guess I'm imagining a Tipsy-like outfit of the future augmented by Leon Parker on drums, the Stereolab horn section, Ry Cooder on guitar, Bro. Cleve on keyboards, Uakti playing glass marimbas, DJ Spooky adding a sprinkling of ambient noise, Eric B. cutting up new age records. Y'know, something actually exotic. They'll be able to play live. Track suits won't be banned, but natural fabrics will be encouraged.

How do I get in on this scam of scams called sampling Sampling is everything but a scam... There's a very arty-farty word called recontextualising which effectively means (as far as I understand it) taking something from one context and putting it into another so that it kind of turns into something different. I often see sampling as a form of this. You take a sample from one genre and use it in another. Now if I was to sample the break from a KRS One track and rapped over the top, that would be pathetic. But if I sampled a snatch from an old Pretty Purdey track, and programmed that to turn it into a hip hop break, then stuck an Alan Hawkshaw hammond riff over the top and a Jimmy Smith bass line underneath, and then rapped over the top, surely that would be creative? (it might not be too original, but there you go!) Surely the strength of samplers is in taking snatches of things and reworking them to use them in another context to a different effect. Now that's definitely not a scam! Certainly a lot of producers nowadays are getting session musicians in to record sessions to DAT to be sampled later. That aint no scam... As for hip hop artists taking tracks and doing new versions of them, surely that was one of the techniques that the whole easy listening/exotica movement was built upon - where would most of the producers/artists be if it weren't for cover versions? I think we all need to check our record collections before we slag of samplers... over and out...

Believe it or not, I was first exposed to the song "Ticket to Ride" via the Carpenter's Greatest Hits album. I was somewhat surprised when I finally heard the Beatles original version and realized that it had reached the Number 1 position. Although my mind can rationalize that the Beatle's version came first, subjectively I still "feel" that the Carpenter version is the original. I love it when I discover these "backward" cover versions....It's a way of feeling closer to an artist you love by discovering his/her musical heritage. My favorite example was when I discovered that Patti Smith, at the ending of the 'Birdland' track on her 'Horses' album, used the same basic melody as Chubby Checker's Top 40 hit "We Like Birdland" There are times you just don't expect any connections like these to exist, and it opens your eyes a little when you become aware of them. Pardon my discourse, I really should be studying for a midterm now and am instead discovering the wonderful utility of procrastination that this mailing list can provide. Vern . . . . . . . . . .

I have a few old records, like ones by Martin Denny, Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66, Bacharach, Mongo Santamaria, Les Baxter, Mancini, Getz/Gilberto, and I am a loyal fan of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass...I recently got his autograph on my 5-record box set! I also like new stuff such as Combustible Edison, Komeda, Cardigans, James Taylor Quartet, Pizzicato 5, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Stereolab, and I have the wonderful Serge Gainsbourg reissues...I also like Francois Hardy and Mireille Mathieu. I hope to soon get a specialty radio show at my college station, KTCU (88.7 fm in Fort Worth), where I had a "modern rock" show for 3 years...but I've petitioned to get a lounge show, so maybe I'll have good news to report soon.

And along those lines....who here is making music or knows of someone who is and is interested in getting an actual VINYL record made of it. our little label here in Baltimore is ready to put it out if we like it....we are no Hit Factory and rarely make a dime and are operating in the red but we are doing our damned-est to Save the Vinyl but put out some groovy tunes while doing so... contact me privately. thanx bump while i have your attention...i just bought a double vinyl lp called "The Mood Mosaic Vol.2 Barnie's Grooves" with a great photo of Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry on the cover. it is on Stone Records from Italy. very cool crime themes.... the reason i bought it is because the first song is Baretta's Theme by Sammy Davis Jr. i cannot tell you how long i been looking for this. sampled by the Beastie Boys (Dust Brothers) on "Shake Your Rump". the second reason i bought it was it had a song by Alexandro Jodorowsky called "The Desert is a Circle". it starts out very obnoxious with horrible horn playing and then it busts into some heavy grooviness a'la Vampyros Lesbos. the cut is 7:40. one drag about the lp is there is a label track info vs. the actual tracks let me clarify by saying side one lists 5 tracks while the record itself only has 4 therefore throwing off everything by 1. same for the jacket the rest of the songs are: Sanford and Sons- Bobby Forester Evil Ways- Ernie Wilknes The Streets of San Francisco- Henry Mancini They Call Me Mister Tibbs- Quincy Jones The Generation Gap- Rock Steady Super Soul Theme- J.B. Pickers Super Strut- Port Authority Theme from Starsky and Hutch- Blockbuster The Landlord- Al Kooper Executive Party-Andre Previn (i think that is from the Rollerball sndtrk) Ruth Down (and get it)- Jimmy Smith Mission Impossible- 4SOUND Orchestra Bullit- Road Runner Bullit- Contract Man also bought new vinly reissues of James Brown "Sex Machine" and "Slaughters Big Rip-Off" P.S. and the new Puff Daddy.

I kept missing the various exotica-type events, but managed to troll my way through most of the thrift stores (or "op shops", as they're known there), finding a range of nice things. Burt Kaempfert's "A Swingin Safari" seems ubiquitous there, more common than Herb Alpert albums in North America. I also met some very nice people (Hi, Brent) If you're out there, go to The Look, on King Street in Newtown, and say hello to Phil, the manager. He doesn't sell records, but he's very into lounge/exotica, has a nice display of records in the window, and anxious to talk to others with similar interests. I'm going to Pittsburgh on the weekend of the 23rd -- any suggestions on stores/events/etc.?

Now, given that many posts here have mentioned the decline in live performance and "real" instruments (anyone who cares to know why, just call your local BMI rep and ask what studio rates for a day-long recording session go for per musician) and Bro. Cleve's mention that Esquivel is working on new projects, and that (do you all see where I'm going with this) Esquivel, I had heard has a computer now? (Again, from this list I believe) - can Esquivel's New Directions in Drum and Bass be very far off? I really hope not. I for one would love to see what his genius could do with today's technology. Please, Mr. Cleve, tell us that my dream could become reality. Let's take up a collection for Juan Garcia Esquivel's Kurzeil 2500.

(Just turn on the radio for proof) ------------------- I don't turn on my radio for anything except to prove that my radio works (and to listen to Jack Diamond when I'm in San Francisco). I'm being flip of course, but where's the correlation between music education and radio, which for the most part is a commercial advertising medium aimed at the widest (and therefore, necessarily the most bland, derivative, and appropriatably melodic) audience? The relationship between the musician and radio is so distant and full of filters (record labels, advertising dollars, audience demographic, and so on) that I really wouldn't make any such determination. Many people on this list are amazing musicians, well-trained, some even use samplers! Many of these amazing musucians are in their 20s.

Do you think people just pick up instruments and start to play them? When you drive through the expensive homes in your community (wherever that may be) do you see musicians living there? Or maybe lawyers and accountants (and producers) should be the only ones to make $$ in the music business? Musicians work long and hard and invest a lot (time, money) in their careers.

I was wondering, does anyone have a good idea for a swank name for my radio show? I plan to play a mix of 60's lounge w/new stuff that can be called "lounge-influenced"...so far I've only got "Lisa's Metropical Hour" and "Shabam Pow Plop Whizzz" (from Gainsbourg's "Comic Strip"). But I've only thought of it for about an hour, so I guess I should ponder it some more. If it were on saturday, I'd call it "Saturday Sunshine," but I think it might be on Sundays. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

He wanted to get a computer a few years ago, but never did. The fine folks at Opcode were kind enough to send him Studio Vision software, so maybe someday...... Esquivel, being a true musician, enjoys most every form of music. I've played him tracks by Bjork and Dimitri From Paris that contain samples from Latin-Esque, and he is flattered by it. He loved my "Casa" remix of "Miniskirt", and watches TV shows which feature techno banda, as it's refered to in Mexico. Essentially, he likes anything that is "up to date", as he would say. A few years ago I brought a sampler and sequencer to his home, and we played around and came up with a couple of short pieces. He enjoyed it quite a bit. Those who have heard his "Burbujas" television soundtracks know that he did a lot of work with synthesizers on it. That said, his new arrangements are being written by hand on 64 stave manuscript paper, which is how he's written for the last 60 years. ...........so maybe we'll do a remix album. br cleve (user of both manuscript paper & samplers) # 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: ghostown@ix.netcom.com Subject: (exotica) The color of music Date: 15 Oct 1997 00:29:15 -0400 * * * * * * * * * Brent Clough wrote: > > As the one who started some of the Tipsy talk by slagging > their satorial shortcomings may I say I actually enjoy 'their' > music quite a bit....

I've been out and about, trolling some new SE Michgan flea markets and thrift stores lately. . . I'm getting seriously backlogged in listening to things I've brought home. (Partly because of bringing home a huge box of about 90 LPs I would call "the cutouts of 1969"--but that is another story). But here are a few notable ones: _Double Impact_ (Ray Martin Arr., Buddy Morrow Cond.) RCA. Wonderful TV themes circa 1959-60. Several outstanding Crime Jazz numbers ("Johnny Staccato," "The Lineup," "The Untouchables," "International Detective"), plus the wild exoti-crime jazz "Hawaiian Eye." Includes a weird-ass arrangement of the "Bonanza" theme, with jumped-up rhythm (almost polka-fied!) and goofy lyrics: "We've got a right/ To pick a little fight/ Bonan-ZAAA!!" Definitely recommended. _Mrs Miller's Greatest Hits_, Capitol. You have all had the pleasure, yes? Her version of "Chim Chim Cher-ee" (with attempted cockney accent) is one truly paint-peeling musical experience. So my question is, does anyone know whether Mrs. M was *genuinely* that frightening a singer, or was it all a big put-on? _The Electric Symphony_ (Ralph Carmichael), Light Records. Nominally, a Moog Christian record!--in fact since it's all instrumental originals, it just comes across as happy Moog pop and EZ listening. Pleasantly goofy, but not a must--although there are some good liner notes predicting Moogs will soon be common in Sunday services, to appeal to "the transistorized ears of the younger generation." Songs of Couch and Consultation (Katie Lee, lyrics by Bud Freeman), Commentary Records. Exotica value, just about nil--but this was featured in the first RE/search book and CD. What's strange is that while the lyrics are attempted topical humor about psychoanalysis, the arrangements and Katie Lee's forceful singing are done completely straight. An oddball concept, I'm not sure it works for me. _Swingin' with Prince Igor and Tannhauser_ (Skip Martin), Sommerset. Oh man, talk about strange concepts! This lurches unpredictably between a standard orchestral performance of the Polovtsian Dances (side one) and Tannhauser (side two) and "driving jazz statements in sympathetic contrast to [their] original old-world form." Yeah, right. A tour de force in its own twisted way, but I can't imagine who would ever have listened to this. The pinnacle for me is about 30 seconds where that one really apocalyptic Polovtsian dance (sorry, I'm not sure how they're named) gets converted into a "Sing Sing Sing"-type jazz stomp. At least they didn't call this one "Polovtsian Percussion"! _Hawaiian Percussion_ (Billy Mure), Strand. I had some tracks from this on a later budget compilation, so I was ecstatic to find the original. Mure's "Hawaiian War Chant" with its weird little plonking persussion sounds (I think it's on one of the RE/Search CDs) is indeed quite fabulous. Unfortunately Strand Records must have been total cheeseballs, because this is one of the WORST pressings ever. The surface noise is awful, the mix doesn't make any sense until you turn the balance knob over to about 4 o'clock. . . and there is this huge, vinyl. . . ZIT. . . in one of the bands. I mean, I've seen losta little craters before--but this is an actual, stylus-destroying Outie. Mure is one guy who really deserves a decent reissue someday, assuming anyone can get their hands on his original tapes. BITTER DISAPPOINMENT DEPT: I saw this bound album of three 10" disks called something like "the Sound of the Novachord"--not clear whether they were originally 33s or 78s, because NONE of the three disks inside were the correct ones. Grrrrr! A photo on the cover showed the layout of the Novachord's tone controls. Does anyone have this? I was heartbroken because I'm a big fan of the Novachord, Hammond's attempt to make an all-electronic organ way back in 1939. It used tube oscillators (e.g. no tone wheels), and in a way it was the first recognizable electronic synthesizer. But an organ with ~100 tubes was rather fragile and unreliable, so needless to say Hammond gave up on making them pretty quickly. Some of it's timbres are so wonderfully sci-fi that I always like to hear it played--it features prominently on George Cate's masterpiece _Polynesian Percussion_.

I should do, I am one @:-) If you'd given my posting a proper read you'd have realised I didn't essentialise race at all. In fact I think Exotica is a haven for genuine cross-cultural collaboration, a place where cultural differences can be rehearsed, re-routed and re-presented with a lot of joy and humour all round. That there are different 'racialised cultures' (if not races) is kinda accepted these days. In case you hadn't noticed a lot of people in your country and around the world feel happy to talk about "Black music". But I guess you wouldn't do that Irwin. You'd leave that up to the geniuses amongst us. After all, for you racial culture is irrelevant in music. We're all one universal happy family when it comes to a tune.

I >don't think it is a racist issue but more of a genre and cultural occurrence. > >Charl > Hmmm, this one's a real minefield. The danger about espousing the 'funky' or 'soul' theory is that it can work very much as a detriment to black musicians, although it's usually brought up innocently in a positive way. I remember reading a couple of really interesting articles on the subject during the past year -- maybe they were in the New York Press following the the brouhaha over a negative review of DJ Spooky; I can't remember. In any case the writers' concern was that black musicians who pursue a creative course that is off the beaten path often face a really tough battle for acceptance-- they find their work rejected by _both_ the white and black communities for the same reason: it's not 'black' enough. DJ Spooky was cited as an example of this, as someone creating a very experimental and intellectualized sort of art which has resulted in many people reacting to him as a 'poser' or 'charlatan', where a white performer doing the same thing might find a more hospitable reception. This seems to be a pretty valid point to me, notwithstanding however that DJ Spooky could indeed be a poser and charlatan after all. I've just become much more wary of applying the old handy racial generaliz- ations to music, even if they seem fitting or complimentary, seeing how a compliment can become a pigeon-hole. As for exotica, I always have to lift an eyebrow when I hear it affered up as an example of the meeting of western & non-western music; it's always seemed to me to be white america's comic-book interpretation of the rest of the world. That doesn't make me like it any less; on the contrary, I enjoy it shamelessly on it's own terms! Which is what I think any form of music deserves, and why I feel a great amount of resentment towards many music critics and scholars who filter their experience and opinions of music through externalized value systems and politics. Anyhow we've been through that before on some previous threads... This does make me think of something else, though, which is that around the same time that American musicians were beginning to self-consciously introduce 'exotic' influences into their work, the traditional musics of many other countries were beginning to be seriously influenced by western pop music. An interesting parallelism, but I can't say i've looked into it very deeply; I'd be interested in hearing some thoughts on this... -Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Salter brian@headspace.com / bsalter@slip.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # 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: cscheffy@kinglet.Berkeley.EDU (Clark Scheffy) Subject: (exotica) Pierre Henry Date: 15 Oct 1997 18:50:29 PDT Regarding Kevin's post, I just got 2 of the perspective de siecle series releases from a friend in Paris: Pierre Henry's "Le Voyage" which is fucking incredible, and Pierre Schaeffer's "Etude des Objets" - incredible indeed.

Big Mess Orchestra (Plungerboy Music) Big Mess requires a bit of explanation, as it's not an average band situation. Although the cover photo (a pair of comedy performers from the cast) may make this look like lounge exploitation bandwagon-jumping of the worst order, Big Mess has actually been staging cabaret events around Philadelphia since 1991 (with their roots going back to '87). With players numbering in the mid-teens (quantity, not age), the orchestra backs a rotating cast of singers, dancers, vaudeville comedians, poets and other performers, including mistress of ceremonies, Carlota Ttendant. Elaborate costumes and simple, but effective set constructions are also part of the show. The disc was recorded largely because they wanted a souvenir of what they've been doing, and is a mixture of live and studio recordings. I have a feeling that the studio material was recorded basically live also (I know they didn't have the budget for anything too elaborate in the recording process). It's difficult for me to describe the music, as it is fearsomely eclectic. I would not describe them as "lounge" for that reason, but they also intersect with much that is loved on this list. There is an element of pit orchestra, along with jazz and the style of such artists as Nino Rota and Kurt Weil. There's also a rock element now and then, but usually just as an additional flavor (but you are warned, if you are phobic about that sort of thing). There are a few originals, but it is mostly very diverse covers. "No Moon At All" was learned direct from a Julie London record. "Some Weird Sin" (Iggy/Bowie) and "Baltimore Oriole" (Hoagy Carmichael) receive mellow jazz treatments, with some gorgeous female vocals. Such material as "Smoke On The Water", "Give It Away" and "Sympathy For The Devil" look like really idiotic choices in print here, but leader, Andy Bresnan's arrangements really make them work (you won't believe how well "Smoke..." works as a cha cha). Regional goin'-to-the-shore chestnut, "On The Way To Cape May" becomes a Mick Ronson production, of all things. Not diverse enough? How about covers of Beethoven and Schoenberg? Or the swing-jazz take on "Habanera (from Carmen)" sung in operatic style by Vincenzo Tortellini. There's even a stylish take of "I Think I Love You". Oh, regarding a recent thread, there are zero samplers to be heard here. Heck, the only keyboard is on an accordion. Also lots of marimba and little bit of vibes. Excellent liner notes, packed with photos -- more like a re-issue from, say, Varese Sarabande than your average new release. Nice bonus. Unfortunately, it does not have wide distribution. It's supposed to be available in Philly area Tower stores. Perhaps one near you would be able to special order it from their brethren. There may be a website soon. But in the meantime, here's a snail mail address: Plungerboy Music c/o 2300 Walnut St. No. 612 Philadelphia, PA 19103 Sorry to go on at such length, but it's impossible to describe this thing briefly (no, I'm not getting a kickback).

I had some tracks from this on a later budget compilation, so I was ecstatic to find the original. Mure's "Hawaiian War Chant" with its weird little plonking persussion sounds (I think it's on one of the RE/Search CDs) is indeed quite fabulous. Unfortunately Strand Records must have been total cheeseballs, because this is one of the WORST pressings ever. The surface noise is awful, the mix doesn't make any sense until you turn the balance knob over to about 4 o'clock. . . and there is this huge, vinyl. . . ZIT. . . in one of the bands. I mean, I've seen losta little craters before--but this is an actual, stylus-destroying Outie. Mure is one guy who really deserves a decent reissue someday, assuming anyone can get their hands on his original tapes." Yeah, you're right, Strand was a bottom-of-the-barrel label - I don't know what Mure was doing with them. His records are so great.

For this we have constructed a 20.000 Volt Schmaltzmeter which measures the Schmaltzcontent in the atmosphere as well as on single individuals, it becomes some sort of a ritual... kind of difficult to explain. Maybe the liner notes of our flyer help a little: "Brimming with the soft, exotic wonder of life in the luxuriant tropics, pulsing with romance in the great tradition, this dazzling night combines the magic of Besame Mucho with the fantasy and suspense of Caravan.

Not ALL of the albums. Just those that might possibly have some vague relevance to the topic of this list, whatever that was meant to be again. In fact, not even all of those, just the ones that come to mind now. First off, an American release with a red cover, with the words "Music For Sensuous Lovers" on it. Allegedly by "Z", but an inspection of the composer credits reveals that it's by one Mort Garson. One track per side -- Climax One and Climax Two -- this very silly use of vinyl combines gentle flowing synthesizer background with foreground squeaks of pleasure; and also horrific asthmatic vacuum cleaner noises of pleasure, and mysterious "I'm-trying-to-eat-a-rapidly-dissolving-ice-lolly" noises. I'm certainly not going to listen to this very often, but it fills a slot in the curioso cabinet. Managed to pick up this great South African album -- "Under An African Sky" by Nico Carstens and Robin Netcher. Carstens wrote "Zambesi". I was a bit wary of this, because it contains lots of electronic accordian, which usually sounds dreadful, but this is really great, more like a deranged hammond than the expected insipid tootle. Lots of up-tempo swinging cheese with great band arrangements. Specially good is "Kwela Patat" (?potato dance?). Along the same lines, I picked up "Africana" by Horst Wende, which is very like "A Swinging Safari" (but might date from earlier -- ?). Soundtrackwise, I found "What's New Pussycat", "The Greduate" (well worth it for the Dave Grusin tunes), and "El Topo" by Alexandro Jodorowsky -- some of the tracks on this sound strangely like they've been composed for Jacques Tati -- I've never seen the film, but I suspect it's a little "out there", judging from the interview and pictures in the gatefold. Oh yes, and the magnificent duo of "Superfly TNT" by Osibisa, and "BBC Sporting Themes", which is possibly the best TV themes album in the world; not only does it have a selection of tunes that are deeply embedded into the national psyche, but also several forgotten masterpieces, like "Striker" by the Anthony King Orchestra, the 1974 World Cup theme, and "Breezy Bounce" by Ray Davies. Oh yes, I forgot "Visions of Eight" -- Henry Mancini, which also has good moments. And "Children's TV Themes" by Cy Paine and his orchestra -- which has a big band arrangement of the "Magic Roundabout" theme (!). And a few others... From slightly earlier periods I found "Re-Percussion" by the Percussive Art Ensemble (dir. Richard Schory), which is pretty good, especially the 12 tone piece "Cloud 9", which is very atmospherically threatening. The arrangements don't all rely on banging everything as hard as possible; on "Stereo Perspectives in Percussion" and "Stereo Motion in Percussion" this does seem to be the general idea, but it's done with lots of comedy value (there's something about that "Cuckoo Cha Cha" that sticks it in my head). I think these albums have Skip Martin directing, as do the less interesting (to me) "Scheherajazz" (classical-jazz alternation; real stoopid) and "TV Jazz Themes". Another oh-look-we-discovered-stereo album I found was "Dimension in Sound" by Bob Sharples and his Music. I can't get the puported full 3 Dimensional effect, such as the rocket from "Rocket" going through my ceiling, so I think my stereo must be missing a few buttons, or something. But the music seems to work very well straightforwardly, lots of sound effects and silliness going on with the arrangments (the classical pieces are nothing special, though). "Swing Gently With Strauss" by The Len Hunter Collection should be a dreadful album. It looks crap. The idea is crap. But it subverts expectations, particularly in the grrooovy, funky, sexy, smoochy, weirdly dancethatassoff arrangement of "The Radetsky March" (sic, but true). Quite brutally disregarding the conventional presentation of the obviously obsolescent "waltz", Mr. Hunter proceeds to bring Strauss UP TO DATE IN THE MID 70s... on the obverse of this kind-of-a-thing is "Bacharach Baroque" by the 18th Century Corporation -- genteel acoustic guitar, flute, recorders, harpsichord etc. versions of songs by guesswho; this one also works very well. "The Beatles Album" by the Percy Faith Strings is not even in the same league, but is worth it just to hear the elevator version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"... there were a couple of other Beatles covers albums, but ... oh, it is worth mentioning the "Baroque Beatles Book" by Joshua Rifkin -- not at all like the Bacharach album, it seems that some rogue musicologist has been at work -- the songs are sometimes so ornately re-arranged that it's difficult to make out what the hell it's meant to be (some of Lennon's surreal writings are also set to music in this). "Hit Me Hawaiian" by the Big Ben Hawaiian Band has Hawaiian versions of tunes such as "Happy Heart", "Aquarius", "Midnight Cowboy", and so on, which is fairly entertaining (I do very much like the cover, of a bowl of fruit shot through a vaselined lens, with a handgrenade sitting in a hollowed out coconut. It's kind of sweet). "The World Famous Premiere Accordian Band Go Hawaiian" is vastly entertaining -- imagine a ceilidh band with steel guitar added, and you probably get the picture (it is unclear, though, why the medley of tunes from "The Jungle Book" appears). "Silhouettes of Success" -- the Howard Blaikley Orchestra. Howard and Blaikley wrote the hits for Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch (I can never remember if that's the right list)... this is an album of their instrumental;arrangements of some of those eosngs (plus others written for other groups). Unforgivably, "The Legend of Xanadu" is not included, but numbers such as "Hold Tight" and "Bend It" are, and they're great -- nice, precise orchestration with a groovy just-about distorted guitar in places; I really like this. "Brazilian Byrd" by the Charlie Byrd Trio is a really excellent Bossa album, with a couple of original tracks which are great, and a bossa nova version of Limehouse Blues (!). On the oppoosite end of the Latin Spectrum, "Heath Vs. Ros" puts together Edmundo Ros and Ted Heath -- their respective bands taking one speaker each, with Johnny Keating arrangements. Something doesn't quite gel with this one, but there are some startling moments. "Latin Melodies New and Old" by Edmundo Ros has my favourite version of "One Note Samba" on it (not the one he sings on). I also managed to get hold of about 10 incredibly mediocre latin albums which aren't worth mentioning, except in this sentence. Oh yes, and an Astrud Gilberto album (which I can't even remember the title of) which contains her recording of "Bim Bom"... a quality album on the Contour label, wonders never cease... "Spectacular Accordians" by Charles Camilleri has a magnificent cover; a woman in a yellow bodystocking affair sitting atop a giant accordian. The first track, "Jungle Fantasy" is outstanding -- totally manic, furious and squeaky. "Guitars A Plenty" by The George Barnes Guitar Choir is a nice multi-guitar album, with a really great version of "Singing In The Rain", and "Violent Violins" by Michel Legrand (in the same Mercury Super Stereo Series) is also excellent, although it is a little bit same-y after a while. I'm beginning to run out of steam, and I suspect no one wants to read all this drivel anyway, so here's some more titles with the odd comment. "Sleigh Ride" -- Sauter-Finegan Orchestra "White Noise 2" -- David Vorhaus "The Stripper" --- David Rose "BBC Comedy Themes" (Some truly horrific pieces on this. Hearing Ronnie Barker sing the theme song to "Going Straight" must be one of the lowlights of this calendar year. Thus an essential purchase; also has stuff like Fawlty Towers, Reggie Perrin, Some Mothers Do Ave Em, Steptoe and Son, and best of all Spike Milligan's Q... but the agonizing search for stuff like Are You Being Served, George and Mildred, and On The Buses goes on. Hopefully someone will now tell me they are all available on CD...) The Genius of Jankowski / Many Moods of Jankowski "Afroclassic" -- Hubert Laws" (Brilliant, cool jazz flute versions of classical music). "Impelling Dances of Our Time" -- Enoch Light "The Many Moods of Enoch Light" (4 album box set of Light, Mottola, and Kissin' Cousins, all Project 3 stuff, issued by the Longines Symphonette, or however you spell it. Very disappointing.) "Swinging The Bard" (features Ken Jones, David Lindup, Johnny Hawksworth) "Swinging London" -- The London Philharmonic Orchestra (Orchestral versions of "Delilah", "Rudy Tuesday", etc. Cringemaking but great for that reason). "Fancy Meeting You Here" -- Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney (One of the best "crooner" albums I've ever run across -- and I'm not real a fan of either of them. Eye-candy cover!) "Melodies of Japan" -- The Cascading Strings (cond. Johnny Gregory) "The Brazilian Bombshell" -- Carmen Miranda (I'd never actually heard Carmen Miranda before -- bananas not just on hat). "Black Widow" -- Lalo Schifrin SURELY TOO MUCH THAN ENOUGH. # 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: "kevin king" Subject: Re: (exotica) radio as proof?

Dunno... one thing i keep learning (and trying to remind myself) as i age is that the world grows in multiple proportions to my head size... and not the other way around. and whatever that means... you might be surprised at what some of today's popsters have studied and/or deeply listened to. And if your only reference is top 40 then you're doing yourself a severe disservice. as for those 'vulgar' influences... i had to laugh at that. Maybe some on this list would like to live in a vacuum and it's been stated that some are drawn to 'exotica' through a faux nostalgia.. whatever floats your boat. But i have to say 'amen' to bro. Cleve's post as a lover of sounds who's mind maybe 'isn't so open that anything could just crawl in' (Magazine quote), but can appreciate often to enjoyment music/sounds/noises of a wide variety.. disregarding irrelevancies. ... and if you consider music to be a cultural expression, then radio most certainly is relevant as is the hum of a computer or the clack of a keyboard. That's life and that belongs in music and in no way, necessarily at the expense of traditional training. as for sampling: repetition, reruns, post-modern referencing... this is so much a part of daily living that it would be false if pop did not reflect it. Can it be uninspired/done poorly? Yes. So can exotica or any other genre. So what's the point of these arguments against contempo pop? Does love of 'exotica' require some negative justification?

Regards, Chuck >> OK, Here I go . . . I tend to agree with Chuck on this one (BTY, I'm 35 and a pseudo-curmudgeon). Some of my greatest appreciations for music come from learning basic history and structure of true historic music. I hate that most people lump all historic music in the classical category. I think that people who have an understanding of music (not necessarly trained in music) are more open to various musical formats. I think the next step is is when an individual can listen to a form of music he does not like, but at least understand (i.e. appreciate) what the artist was trying to convey. For instance, I have listened to Rap and I understand what they are trying to say (I just don't particularly like their medium). Real question is - Do you think they would listen to Lounge, SABPM, etc. and try to appreciate the arrangements (or choice of instrumentation) in a wordless song? I'm not sure, but I doubt it. I personally think the "all sound is music" idea is a load of crap. I think true music must be the result of some level of talent and composure. Banging on a garbage can may be expression but not music. (I think my parents said this about the Beetles).

Thanks, DickDiablo@msn.com I reply: Yes - Bob Ostertag's "Say No More" is an example of this to the extreme. He began by assembling a group of musician well known for their improvisational technique (If I were at home in front of my CDs I'd give you names - I can remember Bob? Mintun, a British vocalist) and had them each commit about 20 minutes to an hour of pure improvisation and noodling to tape. Bob Ostertag then took the entire tapes, laid them up on Digidesign ProTools, and spliced, diced, and reassembled them into two compositions. This became the first CD of "Say No More." Bob then gave lead sheets for these compositions back to the musicians, and had them learn them. The group then performed these compositions, with Bob Ostertag doing further sampling and processing of the sounds in the context. This live performance became the second CD of "Say No More." He claimed to want to do more iterations, but I haven't been able to find them. But anyway, beyond that, what the Dust Brothers do with Beck approaches this technique, though they still use records for sources fairly regularly. Beck, was in fact, going to call his last album "Robot Jazz" for that very reason - the improvisational aspect of jazz was a component of the reassembling of many improvised chunks into the things that became songs. This discussion of sampling should also make the distinction between sampling a record for a drum sound, or sampling a tupperware container for a drum sound. One is someone else's sound that is "recontextualized", the other is essentially musique concrete.

Of course, new generations taking to music tend to be proud of the "genial dilettante" thing when they start out - and older generations have despised them for that since the early days of jazz. But if we forget about the pose and check the music, things really look different. Most former punk musicians have moved on - either technically (even people still playing punk often do so with a degree of virtuosity better than most 70's art rock heroes) or stylistically (many people have moved on to far more complex musical forms). In a way, the invasion of electronics into contemporary pop has made additional demands on musicians technique - many punk or trash-metal guitar players can play faster and in better timing than, say, Eric Clapton (they have to, as their drum machine won't forgive any errors). > Okay, I admit there are holes in my argument, but I put that thought > out > there.

Is anyone out there learning how to play a fish? A > xylophone > /vibraphone? Horns? Of course, the prevalence of guitars makes for some stilistic poverty in current rock music - but then, there is a wide variety of contemporary music beyond pop and rock, often done by stunningly good musicians. At least hereabouts there still are a lot of people who learn other instruments at home or in school - off-hand, I know at least half a dozen people currently engaged in local drum&bass, electronic or triphop bands who have a formal training as jazz or classical musicians. > So I say, that these so-called pop/rock musicians today, are inferior > when > you look at it from this standpoint. The kind of music our list > members > collect is beyond the capabilities of today's pop/rock musicians. > After all, > they usually learn how to play their instruments from their big > brother or > best friend. Was it really different in the past? It may well be that more people learn guitar, but I doubt that fewer people have piano or violin lessons or join a high-school brass band today - at least in Germany, more people than ever have high-school or college education, with the corresponding musical education to boot. As for arranging and composing for large ensembles - this always was something you'd have to study music for, and at least hereabouts, more people than ever are in fact music students. That not many of them are engaged in composing and arranging thirty year old music should be no surprise, but that is hardly a problem of capabilities, but of their focus of interest. > Well that is all I have to say.

New lounge certainly has a dilettante fringe - but at least hereabouts, quite a few new lounge musicians are fully professional and qualified. Of the three local lounge revival bands I know, one is a tongue-in-cheek comedy thing where nobody can play any instrument at all (but they still are fun), one basically is a fairly versatile surf/punk band, with a stunningly brilliant (and formally trained) keyboarder, and the third is a highly professional jazz band, with every member employed in top-rank jazz or classical bands and orchestras.

Date: 17 Oct 1997 12:12:40 -0400 I'm sorry, I just can't accept these apocalyptic theories that human beings are becoming stupider and lazier and that everything is going to hell. I think the simplest assumption is that we humans basically stay the same over time, but the best creative people are attracted to differerent things in different generations--one generation says, "hey, I think I'll paint some deer on this cave wall!" while another says, "hey, I think I'll learn HTML!" Every generation produces a ton of forgettable dreck and a few things that last. Gifted young musical minds (who in another age would have pored over the classics and composition theory, and gone on to successful Brill Building careers) haven't just died off. But realistically, what chance is there of a career in classical music or on Broadway today? Instead their passion and self-discipline is going into other areas which are more exciting to them--perhaps into mastering technological tools which didn't even exist 15 years ago. Is this somehow inferior to mastering the wood-and-brass technology of a traditional instrument? You can't stop music from changing. . . I can't believe that the overall level of craft or creativity has gone down--it is just being directed into areas which are too new for us to have agreed-upon critical standards (e.g. the recent "sampling" flameage here). And don't forget that when the pendulum does swing way off in a new direction, inevitably there is some kind of backlash, say to "rediscover" to melody and harmony. . .

I'm just curious what the deal is. the P.Prado is dated 1961 and there is no apparent date on the pedro. also, i have seen this with same thing with a carlos montoya album on spin o rama. i dont know if the songs were the same but the covers were identical. what's the case? is someone getting pinched? any info would be helpful, thanks. bailey # 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: "Robbie Baldock" Subject: (exotica) Spaced Out Dick Lieb interview Date: 18 Oct 1997 19:35:41 +0000 It's taken a while to get it together but *finally* my interview with Dick Lieb is available for reading on the Spaced Out website (URL below).

Still, the Perez Prado music does sound like him. I've got a feeling these were either foriegn releases that these little companies imported and re-released in the US for peanuts....or they were recordings made in live performances with no knowledge of the performer. Maybe Perez did authorize them and had only a loose deal with RCA. Or, perhaps, its someone who just SOUNDS like him (but I doubt, no one can grunt-shout like Perez Prado). I don't know how RCA responded to these recordings. I do believe Perez Prado was still recording for RCA back then (note, there is no reference to RCA on these budget labels...usually there is something like "courtesy of RCA" if permission was granted). If I were with RCA, I'd get a little angry about some little company taking some of the Perez Prado market away. So there are at least two of us wondering the same thing.

What do you think of the Sizzling Strings CD? >> hi kirsten... thanks for writing and i'm sorry for the late response. heres the scoop on the Roy Lanham CD: As far as I know, it is the only work by him on CD. This is a "two-fer", combining two complete LP's, "Sizzling Strings" and "The Fabulous Roy Lanham". It is put out by Bear Family Records, who have done their usual outstanding job. A nice little booklet with fine liners and black and white photos. I believe these were originally on the Dolton (Ventures) label. Jack Diamond turned me onto Roy Lanham with one of his typically enthusiastic written descriptions and I picked it up shortly thereafter. Killer guitartist with some brilliant solo work. Not at all like Jimmy and Speedy in sound, but great it it's own special way. You can't go wrong if you dig this kinda thing. While on the subject of country guitar, check out Buddy Emmons as well. Recently reissued is his "Steel Guitar Jazz" LP. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Br.

I buy these records and wonder about their >authenticity. Still, the Perez Prado music does sound like him. These are his early, pre-RCA recordings; master tapes were sold to various budget labels, who would repackage these recordings after an artist had become famous on another (usually major) label. These records were then sold in supermarkets and drug stores for 99=A2. This was a common practice in the 50's and 60's. There are other artists to whom this also happened, usually in the fields of r&b, blues, and latin music. Ray Charles is a perfect example : he cut 42 sides for the Swingtime label from '49-'52. When his ABC recordings took off in the early '60's, these tracks were packaged and repackaged into dozens of budget albums : some added strings, some were reprocessed into "stereo" (which was usually just a layer of reverb added), some had a track or two by a completely different artist. Most did not sound as good as the original recordings, and were just made to cash-in for a quick buck from a dim-witted public. Prado's early recordings are enthusiastic and exciting, but the recording quality was pretty lo-fi, which is not helped by the bad pressings of these budget recordings. Many of these tracks have shown up on CD, but I don't believe anyone has tracked down the original tapes. (Unlike Brother Ray's recordings, which finally were issued properly in Europe about 5 years ago) The Prado recordings can also suffer from a curious problem - there are also numerous recordings by Prado's brother that show up on these records. Because Prado dropped his first name and went only by his full Latin name (Perez being his father's surname, and Prado his mother's), it was not really false advertising to say a recording was by Perez Prado : ethically, it's wrong, of course, because you're not stating which Perez Prado it is (one was famous, one was not), but ethics is something which has never really existed in record industry. 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: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Lung Music Date: 18 Oct 1997 21:23:24 -0400 (EDT) In a message dated 97-10-18 07:52:32 EDT, you write: << Jack, you must be proud!

Hey kids, Jack here;) Those 2 rekkids are damn rare and the liner note booklet is TRE-MEN-DOUS Those guys at Bear Family are the motherload of cool info and pics too! I LOVE BEAR FAMILY REISSUES! The 2 rekkids were not originally on Dolton. Sims is 1 label. Not sure what the other is if it's different Can't remember the label(s) but most definitely not on Dolton. There's a Roy Lanham Web Site created by his daughter and it kills. Both of the rekkids are more towards the Western Swing kind of sound and ARE GREAT if you like that sort of Country Jazz Here's the URL for the grand daddy of all motherload search engines listings for Mr. Lanham. http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&what=web&kl=XX&q=Roy+Lan ham Here is the URL for Roy's Web Site; http://personal.riverusers.com/~debed/rl_index.htm The Roy Lanham LP to find though, IS THE ONE ON DOLTON called The Most Exciting Guitar of Roy Lanham, I'm gonna scan it and put it on my Rekkid Cover Art and Beyond page soon-shoot, so many covers and soooooooo little time. I just can't tell you! I do have a few that 1 just doesn't see everyday though if you wanna look http://www.jackdiamond.com/rekkid.htm Just got this new scanner and I have to screw with it some more to get batter scans so don't give me a had time by comparing them to my KFJC home page scans, OK ??? http://www.kfjc.org/diamond/covers.html Those were done on a scanner by a friend who works at ADOBE in Mt View, CA ? Know what I mean, say no more, say no more:) The Most Exciting Guitar LP is straight ahead rippin' and perfectly melodic, flowing jazz guitar with stand up string bass and Earl Palmer on Drums in the likes of which only come from the best, like Barney Kessel. On the cover Roy is playing THE MOST beautiful RED Fender Jazzmaster geetar they is. Swear to god. He's wearing a black tuxedo and has one of them pencil mustaches just at the very edge of his top lip. He is cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.

I garage sale every Saturday morning. This first one I thought said, "Playtime In Hawaii". Turns out it says, "Playtime In Havana". I should have looked closely at the cover and I would have known it was NOT Hawaiian. It's by George Hernandez & Johnny Martinez and the cover is wonderful. Also got: Ray Anthony - The Dream Girl (Did Ray Anthony every record "Like Love"?) Charles Aznavour = His Love Songs In English Tony Mottola - Love Songs, Mexico/S.A. Billy Vaughn - Music For The Golden Hours This weird album called "Music Programmed with a Purpose, Customusic". It's a two-disk sampler. Absolutely no artist's credits and from the list of songs, looks like it's from the 50s. Sue Raney, Orchestra by Billy May - Songs For a Raney Day. (I've heard this name, anyone have background on her?) Astrud Gilberto - Beach Samba Frankie Carle - Plays the Great Piano Hits Ray Conniff - Hollywood In Rhythm Ray Conniff - Happiness Is Russ Morgan & Eddie Wilser - Kitten On The Keys Robert Maxwell - The Very Best Of Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go My Lovely Last weekend I found an Elvis Presley 78 at a garage sale.

The soundtrack to "The Gentle Rain" (1966) by Luiz Bonfa, is very light and lush and not that interesting. "Neil's Diamonds," by Hugo Montenegro, has its real moments, and "Sweet Caroline" will go on my next compilation tape. As the liner notes point out, "they don`t call Hugo 'The Quadfather' for nothing." Also . . . Richard Maltby and His Orchestra, Music from Mr. Lucky a compilation of early 1970s movie music by Francis Lai, and another Quebec-Latino album, "Los Islenos Trio," as yet unheard, with such cuts as "Tuki-Tuki" and "Brigitte Bardot." And a couple of Canadian curios. One is "Expose 67," by The Brothers-in-Law a group of topical satirists, very popular in the mid 1960s, who were policemen by day, and whom my parents considered quite ribald and too risque for me. And an album, "Love Story," by an Indo-Canadian named "Radeem," with the taglines "Ferdie's Piano, Bangladesh Raga, Chopin's Funk." I'll report back on this if it's interesting. This week's favourite piece of music is the Jean-Jacques Perry-Air collaboration, "Cosmic Bird," which turns up on the Source Lab 3 compilation from France.

Unfortunately, they did a PHONE interview with him, not a live (better quality) interview. It almost seemed like a last second thing for ol' Jack Wagner.

Date: 21 Oct 1997 11:40:44 -0500 You've got a new set of eyeballs readin' the exotica mail. I got into collecting lounge/exotica about two years ago after borrowing a bunch of my friends LP's that he recommended I try. I was impressed at the condition of many of his records since I had just assumed that anything sitting around in the dusty, musty bins of the Goodwill store couldn't possibly be playable...... Anyway, now I get heart palpitations whenever stumbling across a row of old LP's at the local second-hand shop or yard sale. Can't say exactly what I'm targeting, definitely Arthur Lyman and the like, the "Percussion" genre, Hawaiian albums with knock-out covers (I'll pass on the music thanks), "strip" albumns, etc, etc, etc........ I don't dig new groups copying the old lounge/exotica sound.

Under the ruling, by the powerful SACEM music industry body, DJs who modify and put together other people's records will henceforth receive a 12th of the rights for the resulting creation. Mixing and sampling are common in such musical genres as dance, rap, techno, ambient, hard-core, groove, drum'n'bass and trance. But until now the DJ has simply been the person who combined the noises. Now they will be considered artists in their own right and paid as such. The decision was announced at a music industry salon, "Mix Move," dedicated to new music created by new technologies. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Diamond Subject: Re: (exotica) It's Official: Samplers *ARE* Arteestes Date: 21 Oct 1997 14:49:24 -0700 At 05:05 PM 10/21/97 -0400, you wrote: > > PARIS, Oct 21 (AFP) - French disc-jockeys who mix and sample >other people's music to create their own sounds are on a >money-spinner after a ruling that they must be paid for their >creations. he he he he he That's right &*&*&*(*(()^&(&^)('s # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Diamond Subject: Re: (exotica) It's Official: Samplers *ARE* Arteestes Date: 21 Oct 1997 14:55:56 -0700 At 05:05 PM 10/21/97 -0400, you wrote: > > PARIS, Oct 21 (AFP) - French disc-jockeys who mix and sample >other people's music to create their own sounds are on a >money-spinner after a ruling that they must be paid for their >creations.

I'm sure it's just part of that *other* famed aspect of exploitation records - the sound alikes.

This practice continued into the early 70's; the Alshire "Woodstock" records, with sound alikes playing songs by bands that *didn't even play* at Woodstock! These recordings died out on vinyl around this time, but flourished in the mid-70's on 8-track tapes, which were being marketed to a, ahem, more unsophisticated type of consumer. The practice pretty much died out due to the fact that about 3 conglomerates own all the record labels, and indies in the style of Alshire no longer exist. 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: Kerry Keane Subject: Re: (exotica) Virtually uncredited albums Date: 21 Oct 1997 17:34:23 -0500 (CDT) On Tue, 21 Oct 1997, Br.

I go out of my way to buy some of that "sounds like" crap; some of it is so poorly played and sung that it borders on the avant garde. I especially like "Disko Hits" by the "Disko Band" on Pickwick. Hell, half the time with 8-tracks you can't tell if it's the real artist or not, so why not save yourself some bucks by buying the soundalike? ****************************************************************************** Kerry L.

I'm interested, as well, in the budget labels which re-record hits, using "one or more members of the original group," and the ways in which every country or area seems to have its local labels that pick these things up in secondary markets. This seems to be huge, now, in the UK, with Hallmark and other labels, and there's a company here in Quebec that brings out the familiar Troggs and Herman's Hermits re-recordings. My favourite shlock series is the Deja-Vu series out of Italy, which brought out those black-covered albums by Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Dorothy Lamour and others in the 1980s, and now has them on CD reissues . . . and they keep repackaging them, sometimes trying to make them look like authoritative, scholarly-annotated box sets, when they're really just repackagings of grey-market or public domain stuff, in many cases lifted from original film soundtracks.

I must have 3 or 4 albums with identical tracks. The only reason I pick 'em up is for the incredible cover photos of 50's gals decked out in grass skirts, etc., etc. This makes total sense since there is a limited "canon" of traditional Hawaii tunes....anybody else second this or am I full of sh*t???

Well.......Denny's okay, but he's totally blown away by Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter. Of course, we all know we can "thank" (I'm personally getting sick o' the tune) Baxter for "Quiet Village" and some would argue that he's not really in the same "camp" as Denny and Lyman due to his lush orchestrations. Fair enough. Also, Lyman did indeed record some CRAP, but he's definitely good when he's good! Wheras Denny can slap a smile on yer face with some great compositions, Lyman kicks into overdrive with driving rhythms that make you smile AND laugh out loud at his sheer enthusiasm. Denny kinda sounds like he's in "neutral" in comparison (of course, he does kick butt occasionally but still.....) Hey, anybody know how much Lyman is available on CD?

It is really a neat kind of software for people interested in manipulating/rejuvenating audio. There are some Mac-solutions available, but as far as I know, none of them is working without extra hardware (mainly audio cards by Digidesign). Recently I got mail from that there are developers interested in doing a port. Now, if you would like to purchase that shareware, please let David Bisset of macrequests know - he will contact those developers (please enter 'Audio rejuvenation tools' in the subject field). There are only two essential tools: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Diamond Subject: Re: (exotica) NFL Films Music Date: 22 Oct 1997 08:20:11 -0700 This is AB-SO-BLEEDIN'-LUTE-LY BRILLIANT STUFF!

I've been lurking for far, far too long now, probably in bewilderment at the vastness of it all. Anyway, got into this whole "Exotica" thang (whatever) mainly through more EZ stuff but there's only so many strings a man can take without needing a little more pzazz! in life. Anyway, I guess the whole point of this is I'm going to New Orleans rather soon for about a week so where can I shop? Vinyl is preferable but I've heard it's a vanishing breed "over there". I'm particularly after any weird electronica/cocktail-type singers and anything by Lalo Schifrin (more! more! more!) Any places I can hang out in where I can look groovy in a horrible out-of-date shirt? I realise this is all a bit vauge, but, hell, why try and limit myself?

It notes that a condensed version was initially released on Partch's Gate 5 label. The "Scene 10" that Jack mentioned has a terrific title: "The Cognoscenti Are Plunged Into A Demonic Descent While At Cocktails". My introduction to Partch came via a PBS tv documentary in the mid-70's -- it really tore the roof off of my young skull. All those way-out percussion instruments! It would be great to see that again. I got this album several years later through the New Music Distribution Service -- a mail order offshoot of Carla Bley & Michael Mantler's Jazz Composers Orchestra Association.

It's narrated by Thurl Ravenscroft (voice of Tony the Tiger) --who is not as good at pirates as he is at tigers. The flip side of the record features Mr. Ravenscroft singing some quite boring sea shanties and so forth. Oh well... at least it has a big photo section inside! nostalgially, -Brian Oh, speaking of sea shanties, I have another record called 'Vulgar Sea Shanties' sung by Oscar Brand (I think...); can't remember the label offhand... the singer's style is very plain and folkish but the songs are a riot... authentic ditties mainly from the 18th & 19th centuries with titles like 'Friggin in the Riggin' and 'Backside Rules the Navy'... doh!!

If you collect or are interested in Disney vinyl, you must pick up the book "The Golden Age of Walt Disney Records 1933-1988" by R. Michael Murray. The ISBN is 0-930625-70-6. The book is only $19.95, loaded with color photos of select album and jacket covers, and looks pretty darn complete. As a reference, the book is a must.

I think the heyday of "soundalikes" in the UK at least was the 70s - Music For Pleasure (an EMI cheapo subsidiary) in the late 60s/early 70s were really big then. Also I remember those racks and racks of anonymous "Top of the Pops" albums which contained contemporary covers of top pop toons definitely NOT by the original artists. You know, the ones where they used to make up the words if they didn't have them written down, price them at 99 pence and stick a gaudily colored photo of a dolly bird on the front to attract the casual punter. >My favourite shlock series is the Deja-Vu series out of Italy, which brought >out those black-covered albums by Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Dorothy Lamour >and others in the 1980s, and now has them on CD reissues . . . and they >keep >repackaging them, sometimes trying to make them look like authoritative, >scholarly-annotated box sets, when they're really just repackagings of >grey-market >or public domain stuff, in many cases lifted from original film soundtracks. Yep I know the ones - they sell here at petrol (gas) stations etc I believe Italy has strange loopholes in copyright laws, to the extent that AFAIK live recordings are considered public domain. Could explain why when you go in a record store in Italy, you quite often see racks of bootlegs, y'know, the usual Beatles, Dylan and Zep stuff, at the same prices as the regular releases, and stamped with the official SIAE stamp.

It was a great film, and the music wasn't too shabby, either. But to my dismay, our class was divided into groups to make presentations on our four countries of concentration -- Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Cuba, and the group who presented Brazil mentioned nothing about any of the good music from Brazil! They only played some newer music from Brazil that wasn't very exciting. By the way, does anyone have any info on the release date of the Tzadik Records Serge Gainsbourg tribute album? Thanks!

I won't rehash all the comments about Tipsy here, but I think it is Totally Boss, and I'm playing it about 3 times a day now. It takes the whole spectrum of exotica HiFi instrument sounds, and genesplices them into some very 90s drum-loop grooves. . . Meanwhile a couple of nice old-school finds: Harry Breuer _Mallet Magic_ (1957, Audio Fidelity). Xylophones, marimbas, and glockenspiels in all their scintillating monophonic glory! Speaking of genesplicing, the repertoire is pretty cool too, with "Samba Macabre", "Maple Leaf Jump" and the awesome standout track, "Bumble Bee Bolero." Beautiful cover too: mallets and xylophone keys arranged in an abstract design, against a brilliant red background. Music question: If a xylophone has metal keys, does it stop being a xylophone? ("xylo-" = wood) Admiral stereo demonstration record. (Doesn't actually have a title--white cover with "Admiral" in red and an abstract design in orangey watercolor) A lot of demonstration records are pretty boring (e.g. too many classical cuts), but this one is quite fun. It starts off with a wonderfully pompous introduction where our manly announcer works in the name "Admiral" no less than 21 times (I counted). Then there are various selections in different (helpfully indexed) musical styles, all originally from RCA releases. You have to love a record whose "discotheque" track is the Three Suns' "Movin 'n Groovin"! A certain daffy quality carries through all the other tracks as well, even ones I would ordinarily avoid like the "Male Vocal"or the Boston Pops track. So I had a strange experience the other day. . . I guess I have been listening to 35/40-year-old records for soooo long now. . . I put on this sampler of "heavy" rock & roll hits from the early 70's. All that bombastic guitar arena-rock, which saturated my adolescence, and which I was more than happy to forget about once I went away to college and discovered new wave, punk, reggae, etc. Well the weird thing was, there I am sitting with the headphones on, listening to "Smoke on the Water" and god save us, Foghat. . . and I, ummm, *liked* it. It was like hearing all that stuff for the first time, and finding it strangely fresh and exciting. Maybe it's just knowing more of the context of what that music was rebelling against. . .

A few years ago, I read that Disney was selling their comic books in China for an outrageously high price -- like only high party officials would be able to afford them. But I can't remember exact details, so I'd better leave it at that. Ron Goulart's book, "The Assault On Childhood" has an entire 30 page chapter on the history of the Disney machine. It's out of print, but if you can scare up a copy somewhere, it's interesting reading. Their aggressive cross-marketing tactics are nothing new. A very scary company. If Disney and Microsoft ever join forces, we are doomed for sure. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ (tv movie picks for Oct. 19-26 currently posted) # 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: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) Black Orpheus Date: 24 Oct 1997 15:35:58 -0400 "Black Orpheus" is one of my favorite favorite films.

I'm pretty sure I know which one he meant: I've got at least 3 LPs of the same "hawaiian" group under different names. . . But Tony got one thing wrong, even the track titles change. The one I'm thinking of is the one with one truly weird-ass vocal track, where the guy bellows: Oooeeey UNGA oooaaaa-waayyy!!! [etc., etc.] Sound familiar? . . .

Date: 24 Oct 1997 13:36:43 -0700 For those of you who don't know who Thurl Ravenscroft is, he's one of the most popular 'behind the scenes' voices for Disney theme parks. Among other things, he's the Enchanted Tiki Room's German bird (Yavol!), the lead vocal in Grim Grinning Ghost (from the Haunted Mansion) as well as one of the lead voices in Pirates of The Carribean just to name a few. A friend of mine was going to do a short film about his life, and we went on the internet 411 and typed in his name. Sure enough, there was Thurl's phone number in Brea, CA so we called him. He wasn't home but it was amazing to hear his answering machine message. We knew immediatley we had the right guy. I'm not sure why I wrote all this except the Disney posts, reminded me of him. For the record, he's also "Tony The Tiger" and the uncredited vocalist for "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch". Someone will probably correct me here, but I believe he was in a musical group called "the Mellomen" and 'The Thurl Ravenscroft Singers"? He's actually got quite a cult following.

Date: 24 Oct 1997 23:00:31 -0400 (EDT) Partch was classically trained (as was Conlon Nancarrow - the guy who wound up hand-punching player piano rolls for his wild, rhythmic, precursor-to-mechanical-music, explorations). But he felt like western music had strayed from true intonation, developed his own microtonal scale, got a grant, went to England where he had a special organ built to his specs, met Yeats, came back to the U.S., spent a chunk of the 30s hoboing around America (and, I could be wrong about this but I think this is right, engaging in lusty man-to-man sex). At some point he landed in the Sausalito shipyards where he made a massive marimba out of the nose-cones of torpedo shells. His journals are fascinating. He's a big inspiration to Tom Waits (wildly sonic) Frank Trilogy. *AND* He's got some of the coolest titles this side of Charles Mingus, like "The Cognoscenti Plunged Into Hell While at Cocktails" (just to make the loungey connection). --david # 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: jjones@richnet.net (John Jones) Subject: (exotica) Friggin In The Riggin Date: 25 Oct 1997 14:57:36 GMT Sorry if you are seeing this for the second time.........I musta screwed up when I originally posted it...so here goes again!

I have a 12" called "Indian Vibes" that is probably the one Ariel refers to. The group is called Mathar, and it features Paul Weller (yes, the guy from the Jam and the Style Council) playing the sitar! I got it in London, around '95, at the height of the whole Britpop and Mod Revival thing (the Blow Up club and whatnot). It's an excellent sitar groove that fits in well with vintage stuff; probably it's a cover of something from the 60s or 70s.

"Monstrous Movie Music" contains an hour of previously-unreleased music from Them!, The Mole People, It Came From Outer Space, and It Came From Beneath The Sea. "More Monstrous Movie Music" contains an hour of previously-unreleased music from Tarantula, The Monolith Monsters, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, and Gorgo. Both CDs are performed by the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Cracow and conducted by Masatoshi Mitsumoto. Each CD contains a 32-page illustrated booklet that will tell you more about monster music than you ever dreamed possible. Digital times from your CD player's readout are included within the text so you can follow along with the music while you read about it. Specially-commissioned cover art is by Robert Aragon. Here's what some critics have said about "Monstrous Movie Music" and "More Monstrous Movie Music." TOP TEN FILM MUSIC ALBUMS OF THE YEAR: Tower Records "Brilliant new digital re-recordings of classic sci-fi scores." -- The Los Angeles Times "Gosh! Wow! These suites from classic science fiction thrillers will leap off your stereo speakers and grab you. From a technical standpoint, these recordings are flawless. The booklets are a history lesson in themselves." -- Cult Movies "Truly magnificent. The sound is outrageous! The 32-page booklets that come with each CD are worth the price alone!" -- SPFX "Bravo! They're great!" -- Chris Young, composer (Species, Hellraiser, The Fly II, Tales From The Hood) "Must-haves. If you like to think of yourself as a fan and a supporter of these movies and their music, I've got news for you -- you're NOT, unless you order these CDs pronto." -- VideoScope "Some of the 1950's best monster music. Inventive, dynamic, infectious. The renditions are flawless and painstakingly faithful." -- Cinefantastique "Monstrous Movie Music and More Monstrous Movie Music are dreams come true. Excellent liner notes." -- Film Score Monthly. "Two cool CDs which... showcase superb digital re-recordings of musical scores from some 1950's sci-fi classics." -- The Sci-Fi Channel "Put these on your 'must-have' list. They are indispensable. Special note must be made of the 32-page booklets." -- Filmfax "These masterfully produced CDs are the big ones! [Monstrous Movie Music] has set the standard for all future classic score recordings" -- Scarlet Street "[The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" is a first-rate improvement over the original." -- Ray Harryhausen "Amazing! It's like having a time machine and being able to go back to the original scoring sessions!" -- Bob Burns, renowned sci-fi expert. "The music is strong enough and distinctive enough to please both the fans of horror movies and film score aficionados." -- Movieline FEATURED ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, "STRANGE UNIVERSE," AND THE SCI-FI CHANNEL LOOK FOR ARTICLES ON US COMING OUT IN THE WASHINGTON POST AND MIX MAGAZINE. On a technical note, we close-miked the orchestra, so our recordings sound more vibrant than most film music re-recordings. Our intent was to make the music sound the way it might been heard if you'd been at the original studio scoring sessions. As a result, you'll hear a lot more orchestral detail than you're used to hearing in soundtrack albums. If you're interested in limited-edition autographed CD booklets by composer Herman Stein (Tarantula, Creature From The Black Lagoon, This Island Earth, The Mole People, It Came From Outer Space) or Irving Gertz (The Monolith Monsters, The Deadly Mantis, The Incredible Shrinking Man, It Came From Outer Space, The Creature Walks Among Us), the cost is [cut] for each CD. Only one autograph per CD, so you'll have to specify which CD you want signed by which composer. We also have extremely limited-edition prints autographed by Stein and Gertz of scores from some of the films whose music we recorded. We usually mail out a score order form when people buy our CDs, but if you request it in advance we'll send you a copy. When framed, the prints are extremely attractive works of art, and proceeds go to the composers as our way of thanking them for allowing us to record their music. We can be reached at: e-mail: monstrous@earthlink.net We would love to get your feedback on our CDs, and we'd like to know what music you want to have recorded in the future. One of our next two releases will include the complete score from This Island Earth, with music by Herman Stein, Hans Salter, and Henry Mancini. If you have any questions about '50s monster music, feel free to ask us.

I think he describes this whole episode in 'Bitter Music', which is a collection of his writings. I highly recommend this book to Partch fans -- it contains some of his journals from his hobo journeys around California in the 30s and several essays that reveal a lot about his personal philosophy. -Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Salter brian@headspace.com / bsalter@slip.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # 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: vinyllives@earthlink.net (R.Preston Peek) Subject: Re: (exotica) Scratched Records?

It was an interesting publication, giving both the pros and cons and various views of taping at live venues. Interestingly, that issue featured a list of bands that allow taping, and Combustible Edison was not listed.

To clear up a few rumors. No. Vik has not been in rehab. Rehab is for drunks and Vik is not drunk yet. No. Vik has not been taping a recurring role as the DJ for a "lounge" night at the Peach Pit on Beverly Hills 90210. Vik is simply not pretty enough to be on 90210 and his DJ skills suck. So where's Vik been? Well, a combo of casino-hopping jaunts and a new chateau in Alaska (the next hipster frontier) forced a bit of a hiatus for the lounge, but Vik's back with a fistful of new features and three cases of bootleg Russian vodka to celebrate... First up...38 brand new tracks in Radio Vik's Featured Albums. (http://www.chaoskitty.com/t_chaos/radio/features.html) Piero Umiliani, Easy Tempo 3, Mo'plen 3000, L'atome, Lat ofthe International Playboys, Mad Mad World of Soundtracks and more await you in the improved Featured Albums. Improved, you say? yeppers...the Vik-O-Matic 2000 will choose the best quality broadcast for you with a single click of that mouse thingy. Broadcasts are not in lo-fi 14.4, mid-fi 28.8 and the all new hi-fi ISDN...

I was waiting to finish the next issue of this zine I do called "Cannot Become Obsolete", which has been mentioned a few times by other subscribers to this list. Well, issue #4 is finally completed and in the mail to those who already subscribe and here I am finally (and formally) saying "Hello! My approach to "Cannot Become Obsolete" is somewhat different than other publications. I knew that there would be others who could do a much better job at researching, contacting, and interviewing past performers. (There are several good publications which do an excellent job with this) I decided to expand in a different direction. I've always made compilation tapes for myself and other people, but I always felt that although this music was good, that something was missing. Its impossible via cassette to relay the look of the fantastic covers and the impressions and memories that the taped music brings. The result was my home-grown xeroxed publication. Each record featured on the tape has an image of the record cover accompanied by a small essay dealing with various matters. Sometimes I talk about the artist, sometimes I'll review a good book or CD, more often than not I'll ramble off into some personal story concerning my life that may be only slightly tangential to the actual recording. Somehow, it all seems to come together well. The biggest similarity is probably with the Re/Search Incredibly Strange Music books. I do this strictly as a hobby, in fact I lose a little money with each issue. It is entirely a one man operation, written, collated, stapled, and limited hand coloring done by myself. I haven't even taken the time to learn how to generate printed mailing labels yet, so even the envelopes are hand addressed. Issue #4 is rather large, 64 pages. A sampling of the contents include: - Wrecking my Car while listening to the 'Ultra-Lounge" CDs - the Chubby Checker - Patti Smith connection (previously mentioned here) - the full analysis of how "The Graduate" helped kill the original 'cocktail' scene - Concert Review, featuring the booing of Ray Charles's backup orchestra - mystical experiences (my own) while dancing to Middle Eastern music - Racism at old-time Carnival Freak shows and how this affects calypso music - a Beatles 'Sound-alike' record - a review of an old Playboy magazine (1961) for Exotica musical content - cats flying through space - John Wayne's "America, Why I Love Her" (and its not for Coors Light beer) - an LSD influenced lyric analysis of the Beatles "A Day in the Life" - a drunk driving / nuclear bomb comparison. As you can see, things can get a little eclectic. The price is real cheap .... Single issues are $2, a 3 issue subscription is $5 Outside the U.S., single issues are $3, subscriptions $8 If interested, send cash (preferred) or a check made out to "V. Stoltz" to: Cannot Become Obsolete P.O. Box 1232 Lorton, VA 22199-1232 If you want to learn more about me, read my zine. Even my Mom looks forward to reading each issue to see what mysteries lurk in the corners of my mind. Thanks for the space. . . . Vern Stoltz . . . . . . . . . .

The sound is quite good and it had certain things I have been looking for for many years (The Baron). There are some that are cute (E.V.A., by Jean-Jacques Perrey) some that I find awful (The New Avengers) and one which sounds original, but is not the right take (The Thunderbirds sounds as if it was taken from "Thunderbirds are Go!", so there is no countdown). My assessment; worth the cassette price, not the CD price. >>Has anyone heard the new Brit double CD called "Cult Fiction"? It is loaded >>with TV and movie themes--most of which I don't know or haven't heard due to >>the fact that they are all English (practically)...
