The real one is the rarest soundtrack record of 'em all. Only a few copies are known to exist, as they were destroyed by RCA due to a lawsuit by author Herman Wouk. A real mint copy would fetch between $2-5K. A bootleg exists, obviously.......I've seen them from time to time, although they're pretty rare, too. I saw one at Footlights in NYC for $100 or so a few years back. 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: "m.ace" Subject: (exotica) Harpo, teevee Date: 01 Feb 1998 11:33:18 -0500 It took me a while to find the right issue of Filmfax (#55), but they had an article on Harpo's "solo" career which includes mention of his albums. According to this, there were three: "Harp by Harpo" (RCA-Victor, 1951) "Harpo in Hi Fi" (Mercury, 1957) "Harpo at Work" (Mercury, 1958) There's also a brief interview with his composer/arranger son, Bill Marx, who did the arrangements on the Mercury albums. Among his anecdotes, he says that Harpo, being more of a "feel" musician than a well-drilled technician, did sometimes get offbeat from the studio musicians. Also, Harpo was a big fan of the impressionists -- Ravel, Debussy -- and Gershwin. Bill Marx's credits include music for "Who's That Girl?", "Murphy's Romance", "No Deposit - No Return", "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island". Unfortunately, nothing pertaining to who might have done the whistling. But if anyone on here actually knows Bill Marx (hey, you never know on this list!), he would certainly know. Oh yeah, Tuesday night (Feb. 3) at 10:00 pm (eastern standard time), AMC airs a new (they say) documentary on the Marx Brothers, followed at 11:30 by "Love Happy" (1949) -- not one of their best, but as always, Harpo gets his harp segment. And Marilyn Monroe gets an early walk-on part. And as long as I'm on the TV listing jag, also of particular list interest this week are... "The Loved One" (1965) - TCM / Feb. 4 - 11:30 pm. I'll say that Liberace (as an undertaker) is the list connection, but really it's just a killer, killer, droll satire that should be a good fit for the sensibility of most people on here. "THX 1138" (1971) - Bravo / Feb. 5 - 11:00 am / Feb. 8 - 10:05 pm / Feb. 9 - 3:00 am, 1:00 pm.

For once, my reckless buying habits paid off! ^_- The track's called "Tropical Fantasy," which sounds pretty generic, but it's five minutes long, and full of bongos, bird calls, and this amazing woman groaning, moaning, and acting like Yma Sumac. What a great find! And only 25 cents! At the local Salvation army I found yet another reissue of Milt Raskin's KAPU. This one looks like it's from the mid to late 60s, judging from the Hawaiian lady with Shindig-style liquid eyeliner on the cover. It's called "Exotic Sounds of Hawaii." Last but not least, just in case everyone thinks my life is an endless parade of bargain bin finds....my holiday record splurge: 16 bucks for "Go Go GO World!" (mondo soundtrack) 15 bucks for "Billion Dollar Brain" (original pressing, still sealed!!!) ^_- I'm starting to get enough cast-off records to open my own thrift shop. (constantly upgrading, you know) Would anyone on the list be interesting in trading some of their downgrades? I don't have any holy grail pieces, but I have some not to be kicked out of bed--or off the turntable stuff. Any takers? I hope I didn't just violate the list charter. :( Thanks for the space, Jessica ^_^ # 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: (exotica) Nat King Cole Date: 01 Feb 1998 14:20:25 -0500 Oops.

Whether or not the characters on "Melrose Place" have matured through the years may be a matter of debate, but the show's producers believe that their musical taste and that of their fans certainly has. That's the reason the Upstairs Club has replaced less sophisticated pool hall Shooters as the hangout of choice for the drama denizens on the program. On Tuesdaay, Windham Hill Jazz will bring the smoother side of "Melrose Place" to the masses with the release of "Melrose Place Jazz." Aside from being the label's first TV-oriented soundtrack, the album serves as a coming-out party for several new Windham Hill jazz acts, including Todd Cochran, Ricky Peterson, AC crooner Jim Brickman, identical-twin bass-and-sax duo the Braxton Brothers, and Tom Scott, who contributes the "Melrose Place" theme plus two additional tracks. "Melrose Place Jazz" also features label standards Tuck & Patti, the Tippingtons, Etta James, and Earl Klugh and a sprinkling of non-Windham Hill artists such as Lisa Fisher and Don Grusin. "The characters in the show are getting a little older, and their tastes have changed," says Wendy Shanks, marketing manager for Windham Hill Jazz. "They have moved into the more adult-type music, which is contemporary jazz."

Today: 1. All Star Surprise Party Kapp KS-3282. The record was in top condition so I thought I might as well try it. Most of the names I knew I wouldn't like, but as it turned out I found one neat cut: Pagliacci performed by the Fortune Tellers. It was arranged by someone named Maxwell. Anybody know anything more about this group or who Maxwell might be (I have my suspicions)? 2. Acapulco 1922 and The Lonely Bull Al Caiola & Ralph Marterie UA S 6256 Not one of my favorite Caiola records. Mr. Smooth won't play it on his show, that's for sure. 3. The Big Sound, Salute to the Bandleaders, Vol. 2 Eddie Maynard Spinorama S-86 Credible performances recorded decently, but nothing spectacular enough to turn away from the original performances Eddie is trying to duplicate. Actually, I got a bunch of other albums but either the genre doesn't rate discussion (like the Soundtrack to Ice Station Zebra) or the performance is not likely to be worth talking about. Oh, here's one I bought last month that I don't think I have mentioned: 4. Latin Favorites Dick Kesner Vocalion VL 73777. This is surprisingly good! I was afraid Dick would have such a major role in each selection that I wouldn't get to hear percussion or more interesting arrangments, but I was wrong. The solo violin accents rather than dominates and there are some neat versions of standards such as Brazil or (my favorite) Ay, Ay, Ay.

But the star find was US RCA LPM 1252 Guy Lupar & his orchestra "The Esquire album of music for the Continental Host". 1956. Cover features a very sultry lady reposing on chaise longue, with lecherous cartoon character Esky leering over. The blurb is rather blatant: "...this is music which belongs to that special occasion when the champagne is cooling and the blood is warming. For such an event there must be a beautiful woman - but then, in these circumstances _all_ women are beautiful....". Quite. Most selections are written by Lupar and have titles like "Glorious", "Strawberry Festival", and (somewhat inappropriately) "Bagdad Ballet", and is a cross between Leroy Anderson and Nelson Riddle. 8/10.

I realize there is a lot of diversity just on this little list of where people are coming from, musically. However, I suspect there may be a significant percentage of you who have roots in punk. Here is why I ask: I got a letter from a Flipside reader complaining about my coverage of "lounge music" and what legitimacy there is in discussing the subject in a punk zine. (BTW: The new issue of Flipside is out and in my column, "Michele's Matters," is the debate between Ashley and Randall about lounge and whether or not it is a "scene" as well as the mating rituals argument pro/con, etc. that was discussed on the mailing list last summer) Personally I feel the two scenes have many parallels: the D.I.Y. aspects such as the club scene and start up of independent labels to put out the music. Also, I suspect that there may be a significant percentage of lounge listeners who have some affiliation with punk - or so I've gathered at least from a few comments posted from time to time by various list members. So what I'm asking is for some response on just how many of you are former punks or at least have roots in punk music. Of course this is by no means a "conclusive" study or even a scientific one, considering this list does not represent the entire lounge population (and in fact only represents those of you with computers). You can respond directly to the list or privately to my email address, if you prefer and if you have friends that are former punks that are into lounge music but not on-line, I'd like to hear about them to. - Michele Flipside Fanzine # 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: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) Survey of musical roots Date: 02 Feb 1998 20:14:22 -0500 Dear Michele: This is a fascinating set of questions, and I'd love to know the results of any survey you do. I hang out with a bunch of people into the lounge scene, and most of us are ex-punkers. Those who pretend there are no links are, in my view, being disingenuous. Being a punk fan has mostly been about being a music connoisseur and having fairly cosmopolitan tastes, reading music magazines, knowing how and where to buy imports, etc. Those who want to claim it's somehow about being spontaneously angry are engaged in a lot of wishful thinking. As I've said before on this list, a proto-lounge inclination was there from the early days of punk, evident not only in the way early punkers like Vic Godard and Captain Sensible turned towards the heritage of American non-rock popular music, but also in the long unfolding rediscovery of Julie London, John Barry, Burt Bacharach, Martin Denny and so on which run under the history of punk and post-punk from the word go. I remember John Barry-James Bond soundstrack stuff being cool in punk clubs in 1979; I remember the way the Raybeats riffed off an easy sound that confounded those who thought they were simply a surf revival band; and I liked the laconic loungey stuff on Lydia Lunch's first album. Weekend's first album was all about trying to capture the sound of afternoon-radio easy listening. What unites punk and lounge culture, of course, is a firm anti-rockism, a willingness to root around in forgotten histories in search of unexplored margins, and, most of all, a belief that rock/pop is at its best when it's part of a long history of popular music, not one more move in the struggle of popular music to become art. That's my rant for tonight. But the idea that lounge might not be punk when the most obscure little avant-cowpunkey move by some alternaband some is . . . well, all this is grist for argument.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - "EROTICA ITALIA" 1) Maras Theme - SERIOUS female moaning AND sighing to THE BEAT with great tabla, sitar and bongos 2)Crescendo-Waves of the ocean sound w/ seagulls in the distance, cool orchestra comes in with bongos.

But wouldn't _real_ punks, like kamikaze pilots, fail to survive their finest hour? You might also consider that the overlap areas are not so much as a result of common interest in the _subject matter_, but through common traits in the followers, ie that neither punks nor exoticans really care if their music doesn't suit the majority. The Australians have a word for such people, whom they call dags. A dag is actually a rather unpleasant thing, but to be called a dag is a compliment: it means that you're an individualist, and to be held in esteem because you're your own person. Best wishes, Hugh (too old to have been a punk, but unconcerned by fashion). # 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: David Retief Subject: (exotica) Ramsey Lewis Date: 03 Feb 1998 09:02:16 +0200 My biggest surprise in quite a while came care of Mr Ramsey Lewis a fortnight back. Mother Nature's child is quite a bland looking lp with Ramsey playing the piano in a jungle studio surrounded and covered by squirrels and raccoons - but does it rock!!! All tracks have great moog intros and are damn funky. Definitely not a Beatles tribute, all tracks are Lennon/Mcartney but quite obscure choices really and they work. I'm posting this 'cause you have to get this if you see it and I almost didn't. Oh, my friend C tells me Buddy Rich played on JJP Moog Indigo...I should've known.

Great! Great! Mellow and non bossa with plenty wordless vocals arranged by Mr Schifrin. You've obvoiusly gotta like Stan Getz but the others most definitely leave there mark. => Man with the Golden Arm OST Great cover, but I'm actually dissappointed with this. I got excited by the session line-up and knowing the title track wanted more melody and big brass. Very moody tracks and and too soundtracky and demanding (expecting a shootdown...) => Brass Menagerie 1973 - Enoch Light & LB Very cool stuff with great versions of Donovan's Season of the Witch (sitar), Carol King's I feel the Earth Move (yes, there are good versions after J Keating) and a refreshingly interesting Shaft with bongos. Dick Hyman has a moog workout on the last track. => Antonio Carlos Jobim w/ Nelson Riddle Very nice bossa with ACJ singing on most tracks. Nelson Riddle adds a lush string backround as hoped. => Astrud Gilberto - September 19, 1969 Brilliant, perhaps my favourite Astrud. Opens with Beginnings (on Espresso Espresso), the main lovely feature being the production (great 70's smooth)especially of her voice. Big sound. => Howard Roberts Quartet - So Nice? I know this is stricly jazz but that can be argued of most of the stuff we discuss and HRoberts deserves an honourable mention. I love all the stuff I've come across - great organ/e guitar combo sound /w Shelley Mann drumming and Dave Gruisin on the electric organ on this specific one. That's all I can remember remotely, unfortunately DavidR. # 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: allmusic@wco.com Subject: (exotica) List of exotica CDs, etc. Date: 03 Feb 1998 02:42:27 +0000 As I have mentioned from time to time on the group, I have a record & CD business here in San Francisco, specializing in shows, vocals, some soundtracks (the more unusual the better) and offbeat stuff. Don't have a catalog or website yet--but I put together lists of new releases/arrivals which I email to everyone on my e-mailing list. Please feel free to drop a line to be added to that list, and I'll send you a copy of my latest list of (& all my past lists, too, if you request it). Highlights of the current monster list include--and I quote: April Stevens, TEACH ME TIGER--Classic sultry babe album from 1960 (originals are valued at $100!) on CD, plus nearly 20 additional tracks with her brother, saxophonist/singer Nino Tempo (they scored a huge hit with Deep Purple in '63). Mostly standards (Do It Again, Tea for Two, Indian Love Call, Whispering, Begin the Beguine, I Get Ideas, Paradise, Honeysuckle Rose) and a few more, uh, contemporary sounding songs (All Strung Out, Poison of Your Kiss, Baby Weemus) Various Artists, MARIJUANA UNKNOWNS, VOL. 1--Dozen ultra-rare marijuana songs of the psychedelic era by forgotten psychedelic bands; songs incl. Mary Jane is Love, Pot Party & Stoned Is MANDINGO--Funky '70s blend of blacksploitation music and 60s exotica, played on both primitive and electric instruments by an uncredited ensemble (or is the artist Mandingo??), with tracks like Jungle Wedding, Moon Goddess, Pagan Ritual, Chant of the Virgins, Black Fire and Sacrifice. Various Artists, THRILLER MEMORANDUM--Spy/thriller collection--billed as "24 cracking shots of leather armchair mood swingers inspired by the world of international espionage"--by obscure sleazy-listening ensembles of the 60s and 70s, incl. Ken Woodman & His Picadilly Brass, the orchestras of John Shakespeare, Tony Hatch, Mike Hurst & Brian Marshall. Tracks incl. Danger Man, The Party, Kissy Suzuki, Ghost Squad, The Saint, Mission Impossible, The Silencers Various, BEAT AT CINECITTA VOL. 2--Follow-up CD to the successful vol. of Italian soundtrack music. Andre Popp, DELIRIUM IN HI-FI--You know, a lot of lounge & easy listening recordings of the 50s & 60s promised mayhem and hysteria in their titles and didn't deliver. THIS ONE DELIVERS! Electronically created and altered instruments & vocals abound in this 1957 release by French arranger-composer Popp (who later wrote the smash instrumental Love is Blue). Dutch import. Raymond Scott's SOOTHING SOUNDS FOR BABY: AN INFANT'S FRIEND IN SOUND, vol. 1-3--Legendary early experimental recordings by rediscovered mad musical genius Raymond Scott (Mr. Dorothy Collins to you). Despite their title, these recordings, each ostensibly created for a different stage of infancy (1-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months) are, in reality, an "often skull-splitting...mixture of high frequency easy listening and sonic space-pop that, when cranked up, would keep not only the baby awake and bawling, but half the neighborhood, too." You go, mad genius! Dutch import. SETTING THE SCENE--22 tracks of generic, often funky easy listening music from the KPM Music Library, with titles like Percussion Highway, Heat Haze, Underlying Expectancy, Afro Metropolis, Safari So Good, etc. Various artists, CELEBRITIES AT THEIR WORST!--Amaze your friends with the ultimate collection of flubs, outtakes and foul-mouthed hilarity from the likes of Julie London, Carol Burnett, Zsa Zsa, Elvis, Brando, Liz, Frank, Dean & Sammy, incl. truly horrific tirades by Buddy Rich & Paul Anka. 2-CD set. Various/Betty Page, JUNGLE GIRL--Follow-up to the popular DANGER GIRL CD honoring the great Betty Page. 21 original burlesque tracks in a digipak with 20-pg. color booklet of glamor shots & rare nudes of Betty. Criswell, THE LEGENDARY CRISWELL PREDICTS YOUR INCREDIBLE FUTURE--I CANNOT RECOMMEND TOO HIGHLY this wacky recording by the star of Ed Wood's infamous PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, and early television personality, in which he unctuously and often ungrammatically spouts off about the future: "I predict the new age of nudity for the human body will be glorified! Body design, self- painted, will take up most of your spare time! Women will decorate their breasts in startling colors, while men will decorate their genitals! Those who are politically orinated [sic] will print body slogans on themselves and this will take place [sic] of the present-day bumper stickers! I was not allowed to say [this] on television, radio, or in my column, as the advertisers would clomp down on me, and clomp VERY heavily." Huh? $14.99. Also avail.: Original soundtrack, ORGY OF THE DEAD, another insane, inane Ed Wood vehicle starring--who else?--Criswell, and THE WORST, an original Ed Wood musical (!) by Josh Alan. Mary Schneider, YODELING THE CLASSICS--I LOVE THIS CD! Billed as "Australia's Queen of Yodeling," Schneider yodels--are you ready?--the William Tell Overture, Brahms Lullaby, Semper Fidelis & more. (She also sings--in a pleasing, older soprano voice.) For those of you who don't know me and wonder what my musical tastes are like--what, for example, I might go into a store and buy unheard--THIS IS IT! Speaking of yodeling, that's exactly what I did with Trude Mally & Luise Wagner, the old (VERY old) German singers who yodel Tyrolean mountain songs. And I didn't regret it! I highly recommend their 1994 release, DOS IS MEI HOAMATLE. LSD: BATTLE FOR THE MIND--This CD combines two naive, paranoid late 60s LPs explaining why LSD is a greater threat to America than the atomic bomb--Willard Cantellon's LP of the same name, plus W. Cleon Skousen's INSTANT INSANITY DRUGS. Skousen is the author of such "best sellers" as "The Naked Communist." (Figures.) Jack Kevorkian (yes, THE Jack Kevorkian)--THE KEVORKIAN SUITE (subtitled A VERY STILL LIFE--get it?) features the good doctor on flute & organ on this much talked-about 12-track contemporary jazz instrumental CD. Apparently he practices between court appearances and--what would you call them?--extinguishings? Personally I'd prefer he sang vintage tunes (I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You; I'm Checking Out, Goombye; My Man's Gone Now), but you can't always get what you want. (Is it true his next CD will be acoustic and called UNPLUGGED?). Various, A CRAFTY LADIES CHRISTMAS (45 rpm)--7-track EP recorded by the participants in the arts program of the San Francisco Recreation Center for the Handicapped. Read between THOSE lines. This is a MUST for collectors of, shall we say, unusualia? SOUNDS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO ADULT BOOKSTORE--Described as "authentic, totally uncensored field recordings," this purports to be a narrated tour through Frenchy's Books, New Locker Room Video, Le Salon & other porn palaces. 7" 45 rpm pressed on milky white vinyl with full-color picture sleeve of the inside of an adult bookstore. VINYL ONLY: Dick Schory & the Percussive Art Ensemble, RE-PERCUSSION (Concert Disc label)--Hard to find 50s LP by the guy behind BANG, BARROOM & HARP. Mint, minor cover wear. So feel free to drop a line--I'll put you on my list.

Okay, yeah, register me as a veteran punk fan, beginning when I heard "Anarchy In The UK" on WXPN in early '77. But then again, I always gravitated towards obscure music. And this tendency got a huge boost around, uh, '75 when I found WXPN, a way-out, free-form station at Philadelphia's University of Pennsylvania (sadly taken over by the NPR Folk Police in the late 80's). You can imagine the impact on my young mind of a steady diet of European space music (Can, Faust, Tangerine Dream, etc (I'm just not comfortable with the term "kraut-rock" -- besides I don't hear much rock in it)), leftist art-rock (Henry Cow, Hatfield & The North, Magma, etc), synth/minimalism (Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company, Riley, Reich, etc), avant-jazz (Sun Ra, O.Coleman, the AACM crowd -- Art Ensemble of Chicago, Anthony Braxton, etc) and contemporary classical (Harry Partch and so on). Whew. Besides that (partly via 'XPN, partly on my own) there was pre-punk stuff like Brian Eno (at the time, he seemed like a colorless, odorless gas which penetrated everywhere -- even onto a Genesis album!), solo John Cale and that first VU album. This is all a gross oversimplification, of course (and where does the Bonzo Dog Band fit in on this continuum?). So when punk hit, I was ready (and already well-trained at digging out obscure and/or import records). At the time, punk floored me because it seemed to ball up so much that I liked: the fun of rock, the energy of screaming free jazz and the "into the void" "prankster with a cause" commitment of the dada movement (which I had just recently discovered and dug into the history). The DIY element was also very key, but really that didn't soak in until well after the initial impact. Today, it's almost hard to remember what a "new" sound punk was at the time. No, punk is not "exotica" on a musical level, or even on a philosophical level (other than the "opposition to rock" angle and maybe some other things). But it does connect to genres which do contain the exotic impulse (meaning an emphasis on atmosphere, texture, "otherness"), like space music and industrial (as discussed the other week). Mr. Rotten was a huge Can fan, as the old saw goes. But once you get past the real ramalama punk bands, one does find more solid connections in groups like: The B-52's (I think their interviews were the first place I saw Yma Sumac mentioned), Devo (obvious pop-synth children), Bow Wow Wow (faux tribalism) or The Monochrome Set (too many years since I've heard them to comment). As Will noted, the John Barry sort of sound (or a cool, hipster sound anyway) was definitely in the atmosphere. Ever heard Lydia Lunch's languid cover of "Spooky"? (was that with 8 Eyed Spy?) As far as some wonderful, withering statement for your anti-lounge critic, I don't think I have it. Maybe a lot of punks wound up here because of natural disposition towards the different. Maybe because punk was partly about destroying barriers. Or maybe we're just exploring the many worlds that open up when you reject Clapton as your God. Sorry for the length.

I know a lot of old punkers who either stuck with old punk, migrated to punk's bastard child, Hardcore, migrated through Naked City to free Jazz or just faded away and listened to Jimmy Buffett and Blues Travelers the rest of their lives. I came to Exotica through a decidely non-punk vehicle. I DJed for a college station and developed a taste for all sorts of obscure musics, including, but not limited to funk, prog, exotica, electro-acoustic, heavy rock, free jazz, experimental, noise, etc. etc. although, not particluarly punk. I found this list totally by accident (I subscribe to the Zorn list on the XMission server also) and have since been turned on to all sorts of wonderful things. I guess my point is again, that I don't think there's any connection between punk and lounge, per se, except perhaps for those people who just love music in general and I think you find a lot of that on this list (and the Zorn list). When people can rave about a range of performers that includes everyone from Martin Denny to Pierre Henry, that says something. I will say, though, that I think you are right in comparing the DIY attitude that's prevalent in Lounge, and will note that the same attitude also appears in techno/rave stuff and the downtown jazz scene. So, that's my two cents, for the non-punkers.

The original lineup then split and JT signed to Urban (Polydor) in early 88 with a new band (AFAICR incl the ex-Style Council drummer) where he did the Starsky & Hutch remake, which came out on a single, and then I kinda lost interest ... there were a series of IMHO kinda bland albums for Polydor, and Acid Jazz, and Verve. JT's back on his own label now I think. Before the JTQ of course there wuz the Prisoners - GREAT band - anyone here dig'em? I used to go see them loads. BTW I have a spare copy of "Scored 1-0" if anyone wants it - that's the JTQ and spin-off groups album of covers of film/TV themes. Unplayed double vinyl.

Punk/Polka !!!! Date: 03 Feb 1998 19:43:21 -0800 > However, I suspect there may be a significant percentage of you who have roots > in punk. Punk was the first music that I purchased (while I was in college) that was not based on the Top 40 radio hits, so count me in as one who has the punk-exotica lineage. But I also used to be, while in high school, a drummer in a polka band and there are also strong linkages between Punk and Polka. Both are high tempo high energy music that builds a real sense of community within the local audience. Both have high energy dancing - one can get just as sweaty swinging to a fast polka as when one is pogo-ing in one spot to the fast paced punk beats. I've experienced enough 'elbows in the side' and witnessed enough bodies being knocked to the floor with both music styles. The biggest difference between Polka/Punk and in a way Punk/Exotica is that most punk songs have very angry lyrics and are very critical of the world, while polka/exotica has more of a "forget your troubles - let's celebrate while we can" attitude. Also Polka bands generally played for a wide range of ages (usually at a large family wedding celebration) while most Punk bands played in dark clubs to a very narrow age range. Also, I never was spit on while playing in a polka band. Spilt beer, Yes, but never spit. Vern Cannot Become Obsolete P.O.

Nice surprise to see you here -- will you be hanging around or are you just passing through? It would be great to hear from a guy who truely knows how the 'exotic' got into Exotica. To partially answer your question (this is a Lowery release, but not of 78s), here's a write-up (by a former Exotica list member) from the All Music Guide. --Lou Artist Fred Lowery Album Title Whistle a Happy Tune! AMG Rating (Good) Genre Easy Album Review Muzzy Marcellino is not the only virtuoso whistler, and near-blind Fred Lowery's technique is even more dazzling. Accompanied by the Anita Kerr Singers, Lowery achieves sounds on Whistle a Happy Tune! that would be absolutely impressive if sung or blown through or a horn. The high vibrato certainly is hard to imagine coming from any other source. On the great Decca label, one of the best guarantees of unpretentious worth and novelty. -- Tony Wilds Album Releases z - Decca DL 78995 # 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: Ariel Tagar Subject: Re: (exotica) 50s Hi-Fi Date: 04 Feb 1998 15:00:11 +0200 Brett Leveridge wrote: > > I just scored a ton of '40s 78s today but have no way of playing them Well, it is rather shoking, if I lived somewhere near you I would have give you one of mine... somehwo I keep buying these Hi Fi sets and all kind of players- closet players, desk players, coffe table sets and portable sets- I dont know where to put them. # 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: MUV96TBD@Student2.lu.se (Chester W.

Here is why I ask: I think younger people like myself, born in the 2nd half of the seventies, who like lounge music, might come from a post-rock/shoegazing background...it's the same thing again there, the whole DYI thing, people who release records on indielabels (in the true sense of the word, not 'fake' indies backed up by majors) and distribute them through other channels than the usual (word by mouth instead of big adverts in the mainstream press, for example). I really admire the whole Bristol 'scene', not the triphop one, but the one with Flying Saucer Attack, Movietone, 3rd Eye Foundation, Hood, et al (Home recording bands whose music can sound like anything from the most abrasive drone drumandbass stuff to the softest folkmusic). They don't care about the music press at all and basically never do any interviews - not because they're arrogant but because they aren't intrested in the media and are not dependent of the press to sell records - but they still reach out to a lot of people who buy their stuff. I think we're currently in a phase where more and more people are getting tired of Britpop and its arrogance with the same old influences, that's why bands like Stereolab or High Llamas who are extremely influenced by exotica-ish music sound really fresh and 'new' (particularly since music like Enoch Light or Les Baxter haven't been exposed and plundered the way The Beatles and The Stones have been) - they're the perfect antidote to Britpop.

Pretty complicated if you ask me...apperantly > it'll be a 12-track album. I just happened to catch "Grace Of My Heart" last night. I liked parts of it, but not a keeper for me (only my opinion). It's about a Brill Building songwriter, sort of a composite of Carole King and Ellie Greenwich? Lots of fictionalized versions of real people, making for an odd parallel world phenomenon, which really gets jarred when they mention real people. Anyway, the Elvis rendition of "God Give Me Strength" runs under the closing credits. There's also a female vocal w/ piano rendition of it in the film (the credits were too tiny for me to make out the singer). Now, at the end of the PBS Bacharach documentary that ran a little while back, there was a mini-feature on Burt & Elvis tacked on afterwards to fill out the hour. I may not have this straight, so take this with chunks of salt, but my impression was that "God Give Me Strength" was sort of their "try-out" project -- and they talked about how they worked on it over the phone, at least initially. But I *think* there was some footage of them in the same studio (unless my memory is muddling together jump cuts of them). Anyway, that song apparently went well enough for them to continue with more. Good for them. Can anyone clear all of this up?

Hippies hated bands in ca. 1961 thin-lapelled suits and skinnier ties, so we embraced the Ratpack-James Bond sensibility. We also used sounds rock had "matured" beyond, like Farfisa organs and reverby surf guitars and melody (read the liner notes to Split Enz's greatest hits for a proto-punk, anti-rock defence of lounge as offering an oasis of melody, arrangement, frivolity in the desert of 70s rock). Of course, if you're a pop fan growing up in a rock world, Bacharach and bossa and TJ-brass are musical saviors just a turn of the dial away, and punk -and even more, new wave - gave me a manifesto for coming out of the closet of suburban rock conformity. But what about today's young people, who listen to lounge? Do they have some memory of adult easy listening before it was Bolton-ized?

Date: 05 Feb 1998 00:27:19 +0000 OK exoticats, steady yourselves, I can exclusively(?) reveal that this summer will see the release of a Free Design compilation CD! Here are the details: Varese Sarabande plans to release Kites Are Fun - The Best of The Free Design on July 28, 1998. This collection will feature 15 selections by the group from their Project 3 sessions that were produced by Enoch Light, in addition to a bonus track of unreleased material. Liner notes by Elliot Kendall will feature interviews with Free Design leader Chris Dedrick and original sessions engineer Phil Ramone. This mid-line priced release will spearhead the Soft Pop Classics series for Varese that will be continued with Sunshine Days Vols. 4 & 5 this summer. Check out the Varese website at www.varesesarabande.com for more details. Sadly, I cannot claim any credit for this but, boy, am I pleased to see some of this material finally making it out onto CD (though of course the Japanese have had the joy of four whole Design LPs being issued on CD in recent years)! And what a *perfect* summer CD that's going to be! More news when I have it...

Korla Pandit NEEDS to be seen in his original TV show to get the full effect - talk about "exotic"!!!! Seek it out. still alive? he was a couple of years ago - i saw him perform at Bimbos. It was a largely a "lounge" crowd who seemed bored with him. they probably just showed up to play dress up and drink hi-balls. it was disappointing. # 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: LTepedino@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) easy tempo 4 Date: 05 Feb 1998 00:32:29 EST In a message dated 98-02-04 13:18:20 EST, Quiet@village.uunet.be writes: << i didn't like vol 4 of the italian "easy tempo" series half as much as the previous 3 volumes! the subtitle should have been "roots of acid jazz" because that's exactly what it is. only side 4 (of the dble lp version) sounded like the other volumes. >> I got to stand up for Volume 4.

They recommended the Rhino Cocktail Mix series first and foremost. So I started out with that, and have expanded from that.

A lot depends on geographics; if you think everything French is cool/quirky/exotic, than you'll love the French one. If you're not sure, then go for the German. That one only has 2 crap tracks, by Katja Ebstein, and Lilian Atterer; both very plain 60's popular vocals. 8 other are vocal tracks, the remaining 14 are instromentals. all in all a very soulful and funky compilation, with plent of that "European" big band sound. some highlights: * Klaus Wunderlich's version of Mancini's "Baby elephant walk", which is very true to the original Mancini sound and yet very different and original. * James Last's "Aquarius" with phase shifting all over * Hildegarde Knef with a slow funk number; if you like low, smokey, female vocals, then check her out. * Orchester Horst Jankowski: "Pata pata" has both whistling (in the intro) and wordless scat "pabapaba" vocals from the swinging Jankowski Singers * Die Jankowski Singers have a second track, "rocking voices", on which they sound very much like the Swingle Singers, but with a beat. * also 2 Peter Thomas tracks not on any other cd. I like these 2 Jankowski tracks VERY much, that's why I wonder if the Horst Jankowski cd "Black forest explosion" mentioned in the booklet has that same sound, with wordless scat vocals... anyone knows? the included booklet mentions several other Motor cd's that might be interesting, like: * The Singers Unlimited: "Masterpieces" I've never heard anything from or about them, so any info about their sound is very welcome! * Martin Bottcher: "Sound Kaleidoscope" anyone knows if this one is recommended? i tried listening to some of his "Winnetou" soundtrack music, but couldn't stand it, so awful it was, think over-dosed sugar strings... more info on (I'll have to visit it myself yet) Johan quiet@village.uunet.be + dada@bewoner.dma.be --- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) New eXotica Releases Overview Update Date: 05 Feb 1998 14:39:23 +0100 The software struggle is over, and the XRO is running again: A new update to the eXotica Releases Overview is now available.

You know (if you're old enough.....) those great cartoons of dancing food, etc. shown between a double feature to try and pry a few extra bucks outta your wallet. I interviewed a guy for my (now defunct) Drive-in Newsletter who worked for one of the companies that made these shorts, and he mentioned that they had a library of stock music that they'd pull to use on the various trailers but he didn't know where they ever came from. A lot of it sounds like a recording of a high school band or something. The closest I've ever come is discovering that they did use a Leroy Anderson tune for one 'em (And I think I've even got the album - a "Percussion" title put out on Grand Prix doing all Anderson songs - this album's a hoot!). Anyway, enlighten me if you can.

My name is Steve Funk, I'm 27 years old, I'm from Wisconsin, I currently live in Anchorage, Alaska, and I love all kinds of music, especially jazz and "lounge". My favorite music includes: Frank Sinatra (I'm also on the Sinatra Mailing List which I highly recommend for other Frankenmavens out there) Dean Martin/Sammy Davis Jr./Nancy Sinatra Esquivel (Discovering him is what turned me on to "lounge" music) Incredibly Strange Music Vol 1 & 2 (amazing discs) "Space Age Bachelor Pad" music Les Baxter Jazz (from Art Tatum to Miles Davis) Big Bands (from Ellington to Mingus to Sun Ra) Modern Classical (John Cage, Stravinsky, etc) Obscure Epic Piano Music (Alkan, Busoni) Anyway, 'nuff said.

Indeed! For me, punk was always an attitude towards music, rather than any particular form of music, much less a fashion. Punk was open towards lots of kinds of music, as long as it was vaguely non-mainstream, and seminal labels like Rough Trade put out "straight" punk rock along with reggae and stuff like Cabaret Voltaire, without anybody finding the combination particularly strange. I used to play in a punk band that played electro-acoustical ballads (for want of a better description), and wrote for a punk fanzine about groups like Red Krayola and early Scritti Politti. Those were the days when I would write off for a mail order-only single recorded in somebody's bedroom and pressed in 500 copies with handmade covers, just because the name of the group sounded cool. And well, the eclectic spirit of this exotica list is not all that different in that particular sense. But I'm sure I see the connection between the punk ideology and the "lounge scene", whatever that is. What is so "DIY/underground/anti-establishment" about lounge music? Much as I like a Negroni, isn't the only anti-establishment cocktail a Molotov cocktail?

Also on that LP are "Go Away Little Girl", "Valley Of The Dolls", others.....Quoting from the liners, "Dropping in at the studio while the Smith/Nelson version (of "Mission Impossible") was being taped, Lalo Schifrin admired the unusual treatment of the theme which is doubled in length from 12 to 24 measures (and is the only known theme at the time to have been written in 5/4).He declared he preferred the Smith/Nelson arrangement and wished he'd thought of the approach himself!" # 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: "Charles Moseley" Subject: Re: Re[2]: Re: (exotica) Jimmy Smith (Mission:Impossible) Date: 06 Feb 1998 19:50:42 +0100 This track is available on the recent German compilation (Motor Music GMBH); Greatest Hits of Lalo Schifrin (along with his own version from the MI soundtrack).

Tarzan may be king of the jungle, but it's a cinch he's never heard jungle drums like those played by lovely Kay Marston, who's known in show biz circles as Queen of the Tom Toms. (she's posing with a conga drum) Kay Marston's a gal who's loaded with talent. Not only does she beat out a mean rhythm on the tom-toms (they're not tom toms! >:[] ), but she sings to her accompaniment. Kay doesn't sing words, she sings "sounds" a la Yma Sumac. It's a gimmick whereby she duplicates tonal qualities of instruments like flutes and clarinets with just her voice. *caption: Her record collection contains many Capitol discs because, as she says, they always feature a lot of bongo drum music. What a cool gal! Wonder if she ever recorded anything? Thanks for the space, Jessica ^_^ (who wants to be Queen of something.

It was suggested that comments might be a good idea for those of us who post playlists, so here goes... Andre Popp: Mon Amour, Mon Ami "My Way of Music" I found this record in a Salvation Army shop for $0.50 last week. Overall the lp is rather bland, but there are one or two good tracks. The Burtons: McArthur Park "Hybrid Kids" ...since everyone on the list was talking about versions of this song, so... Kid Koala: Taboo Soda "Scratchhappyland" Montreal-based DJ gives Arthur Lyman's version of "Taboo" the scratch treatment. Tom Recchion: The Perpetual Motion Clock "Chaotica" Try to imagine every record ever mentioned on this list skipping and/or looped. Tim 'Love' Lee: Badder Bongo "Confessions of a Selector" Tipsy with big beats. Synthesonic Sounds: Superfly "The Easy Project" 'nuff said Isaac Hayes: Theme from Truck Turner "Badmutha's" some of the "18 Black Movie Hits" on this cd includes themes from "Shaft", "Cleopatra Jones", "Foxy Brown", "Trouble Man" etc. Recommended. Jimi Tenor: Love is My Game "Outta Space" Surprisingly funky for a Finn. Jake Slazenger: The Big Easy "Das ist ein Groovybeat, Ja" Jake is U-Ziq's Mike Paradinas. Kraftwerk: The Model "The Man Machine" an old favourite British Standard Unit: D'ya Think I'm Sexy "Hybrid Kids" ummm...better than the original Air: Sexy Boy "CMJ New Music cd" I haven't heard "Moon Safari" yet, but based on this track the group is more Soft Cell/Suicide than lounge, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Kvantett O. Jonson & Grjoni: Timi i Rimini II "Karnival i Texas" Kvantett O. Jonson & Grjoni: Magnificat "Karnival i Texas" Outstanding instrumental music from this Icelandic outfit. Combustible Edison's "Spy vs Spy" meets Link Wray in the desert...no, that's not quite right. The Gentle People: Travel Bug "Soundtracks for Living" ending with an EZ glide. Until next time, Allan. # 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: Jan Fornell Subject: Re: (exotica) The punk/lounge connection Date: 09 Feb 1998 01:02:23 +0900 > The DIY > aspects are plain to see: Fanzines sprung up dedicated to lounge music, > deejays started underground lounge nights at established clubs, and > independent labels came about to market old lounge music (re-issues).

Well, yes... and no. Fanzines, clubs and independent labels are definitely good things and very important, but, really, ALL musics have them, and in that respect lounge is no different from, say, progressive music or death metal. What made punk different was that it wasn't just another "listen-to- obscure-records-that other-people-don't-like" thing, it was also very much a "play-your-own-music-even-if-other-people-don't-like-it)" thing. Punk made me go out and buy a guitar, but how many people have started tinkling the ivories because they heard Martin Denny? OK, a number of people may have bought a theremin because of the lounge boom, but the scale of the punk movement was so different. As for the establishment rock press, I don't know about the US, but the UK rock press (I used to live in Sweden where there wasn't any rock press to speak of at all, so we always bought the British papers) certainly didn't hate punk -- it was all they wrote about for a couple of years!

Indeed, I have had similar thoughts. It seems like these various labels' marketing departments determined that having the "acid jazz" brand on the packages will move X% more units, especially with such-n-such age group. "Hey, kids, get new *ACID* Jazz! It's HIP! It's NOW! It's WOW!!!" (sorry, lemme turn down the sarcasm-a-tron) (and lest anyone be offended, I'm not slamming acid jazz, just market-think) This is much in the same manner that "lounge" has been affixed to so many releases the last few years. On the other hand, some fun comps have come out of it (along with some duds). I guess we just have to block out the packaging (if one finds it offensive) and focus on the music. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Magnus Sandberg" Subject: (exotica) Dr. Seuss Date: 09 Feb 1998 02:59:50 PST Thanks to a conversation with Jonas at the excellent shop Subliminal sounds & stuff, I bought an album by Dr. Seuss the other week.

I remember some time back asking about the topic of "Schlager" and feeling, after the fact, that I had opened up a topic that nobody wanted to deal with, in addition to one that was deeply offensive among Germans. I don't want to discuss it as serious music but only for the "exotica" value as we do on his list. I'm still curious as to how Heino fits into this whole scheme of things but as his name seems to have caused the strongest negative reactions in the past, I won't force the issue... > I liked "Get easy 4: the German Pops collection" (Motor, germany) a lot > better than the "French collection" This one stood out back when Johan posted his releases of the year. I haven't found it yet but am in the process of looking. I notice there are more releases that I must check out on this label. What of the ZYX "decade" samplers of "Schlager "1950's, 60's, 70's & 80's?

I have been given the names of a few artists to look for, by what I consider an extremenly reliable source on the subject, one one of those artists being Hildegard Knef. The others: Manfred Krug, Uschi Olas, Christian Anders, Francoise hardy (in German) and Daisy Dor. Also, but of older vintage: Caterina Valente, Peggy March, Conny Fioboess and Ulla Nielssen.

Hi, This is the soundtrack to the "film" _Four Rooms_, which is actually a collection of four short films by four different directors (Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino). The four stories take place in four rooms of a hotel on New Year's Eve, and bellhop Tim Roth provides the glue that connects the four. ComEd did original music for the film, plus some of their songs from _I, Swinger_ are on there (Millionaire's Holiday, Breakfast at Denny's). In addition, there are a couple Esquivel tracks on the soundtrack as well (Sentimental Journey, Harlem Nocturne). I think the soundtrack's pretty good--there are a couple of choice ComEd pieces on it (Junglero, Eva Seduces Ted). As it is largely incidental film music, many of the tracks are very short (a minute or less); there are 29 tracks altogether. The film, though, was a letdown for me: I liked Rodriguez's piece, and Tarantino's was okay, but the rest was disappointing (even Tim Roth, whom I normally like). Other opinions and/or clarifications?

If so, how is it? "Merry Christmas From The Space Age Bachelor Pad" BarNone AHAON 083 Yes, it came out in October '96; it was available through Christmas that year and again last year. It was only available (legally) in the U.S., due to BarNone's license with RCA/BMG. Most stores only carry it during the Xmas season and then return them. We noticed that many stores were filing it with the Xmas CD's and not with the other Esquivel ones, which is why you possibly didn't find it. You can get it from BarNone via mail order; info is at their website and in the booklets to the current batch of Esquivel 2fers. 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: RoccoAnd@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Ernie Morricone Date: 09 Feb 1998 23:21:51 EST Hi all, I am temporarily suspending my read only status to tell about an Ernie Morricone CD that I found. I apologise if this is as common as dirt, but I'd never ever seen one. "Un' ora con/An Hour with Ernie Morricone", 1993. The printing on the CD is all in Italian, so I'm not even sure of the song titles. All I can translate is 'the good the bad and the ugly' and 'a fistfull of dollars', and maybe 'holocaust 2000'. (I can't tell if that is a song or a movie). I really dig this disk. Fun for the whole family. Even my 4 year old son, who has never seen a spagetti western knew that the first cut was about cowboys and indians. Isn't it great how music can really paint a picture in your mind? Anyhow, I was wondering if all his stuff is as good as this compilation, or if there might even be some better, more obscure EM out there. BTW- I bought two copies, so if anyone wants to trade something, I'd be happy to swap.

Francoise Hardy did a number of albums in German and as well in Italian, I believe, as during the '60s it was both very trendy and very commercially astute to selling records in the respective countries. Most of the other artists do fall into the "Schlagger" category -- sort of the German versions of MOR popular singers who to the youth were considered about as kitschy as say an Englebert Humperdink was to America/the UK. One of my favorite kitschy/shlagger singers was Freddy Quinn whose singing persona was pretending to be this "I've seen the world" Hamburg sailor. I particularly love the few songs where he tries to be "hip" and sing in English "I've got the blues tonight, I've got bad news tonight, Mah baby's gone and I'm so alone with those doggone lonesome blues" in a voice that if you ever wondered what a Hamburg resisdent trying to sing like a Dallas Teaxan might sound like vocal!

I guess your reaction to them will be based on what flavor of exotica you favor - These tend to favor highly produced pop music - Very kitshy/Campy Hollywood stuff. If you are looking for Now/GoGo/Electronica, you will be sorely disappointed. Of particular interest to me were the "Mambo Fever" and "Organs in Orbit." # 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: MUV96TBD@Student2.lu.se (Chester W.

I'm trying to build up my promotional record collection and would like to know what to look for. These are the ones I already know about : Tijuana Today for Pet Ice Cream Tijuana Taxi for Acme Supermarkets Tijuana Taxi for Der Weinerschnitzel Tijuana Party for Pizza Inn Colonel Sanders' Tijuana Picnic Taco Bell presents Tijuana Taxi Alpha Beta presents Tijuana Brass Tijuana Brass at Pizza Connection Squirt Does Its Thing in Semi-Soft Style (or something like that) Eating at the International House of Pancakes with Captain Kangaroo Good Humor Ice Cream Presents Real Cool Hits by the Avengers Six Some Moon Landing Thing for Arby's I forget the title of Yeah, I know, they're mostly the same record repackaged and repackaged. ^_- I'm also interested in hearing about any other strange promo albums--I've been obsessed with these things ever since I did a presentation on 'em for an american studies course. I just got one for Gilbey's Vodka and Gin--mostly Living Series stuff, but what a package! A beautiful gatefold cover with pics of colorful drinks--and there's even an insert to order more copies! "Music to Use the Trim-Twist By" is another fave--with tracks like "Fatty Tissues Delight" and a scary cover (triple-exposed action shot of blissed out woman trim-twisting), it's a keeper. I have a friend who actually has one of these things--only it's from the 70s so it has a different name. That same friend recently gave me a copy of "Ali and His Gang vs Mr. Tooth Decay"--oh boy, is that one a classic! Believe it or not, the music in some parts is really really good. Mr. Tooth Decay gets a fuzztone guitar/boogaloo percussion theme, there's some Sesame Street style moog music, and a weird blues guitar riff while Ali does one of his fight poems ("I'm so bad....I murdered a rock..."). All this, and it's dedicated to Lily Tomlin too. ^_- So unless you're a big George Foreman fan, get yourself a copy.

I've decided to reproduce my ratings here for hopefully your benefit. This rating system is totally subjective, somewhat anal, and applies to CDs only. I have a stereo with remote control and I lied on my couch with headphones on and imagined I was on the Gong Show or giving out my own Olympic style ratings, which are: "4" Outstanding Song: One that gets you feeling so good you hit the repeat button over and over again "3" A Good Song: One that is enjoyable, but you're ready to move on when it is finished "2" Average: It may have its moments, but it doesn't really excite or move you. "1" Disappointing/Annoying: You wonder when the song will end, and are ready to hit the forward button at any moment to move to the next song "0" Absolutely Terrible: In your opinion, no redeeming qualities. Hit the forward button quickly. In my view, a CD made of of mostly "3"s and "4"s is worth owning. The more "1"s and "2"s that are on the CD, the greater the chance of me listening to only a few select songs versus letting the whole CD play out.

I guess I considered myself a punk when I was in middle school and high school, though I was "punk lite" - no mohawk, though I did Manic Panic my hair into all sorts of unnatural colors. (Actually, I did get semi-serious at one point, listening to a lot of Crass, reading Slug and Lettuce and planning to join the Anarchist Youth Federation). Since it was circa 1989, at some point I morphed into some kind of indie-rocker, and along the way started reading and making zines, being more interested in underground and DIY culture(s), and reading various RESearch books, which led to reading Incredibly Strange Music vol.1, where I noticed mentions of a few things I had borrowed from my parents' collection... thus reconciling my indie-ness with my love of Astrud Gilberto etc. and prompting me to actually buy some of the records I tended to see at thrift stores. Oh, and at some point I actually did read at least one issue of Flipside (and way too many issues of Maximum Rock and Roll). Actually, I have been known to get into conversations with other people my age (I'll be 23 in two weeks) about how we learned about the music we liked through a process of exploration, making us somehow superior in a sense to "today's kids" who like ska or whatever because they saw a video on MTV, and not because they found out about it through reading fanzines, scouring thrift store bins, and learning about a bunch of other musical and aubcultural genres along the way. At that point I feel prematurely old and grumpy and I shut up. -Jordana (who has also in her life been "goth lite" and "psych lite," among other things) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jordana Robinson" Subject: (exotica) two questions Date: 10 Feb 1998 19:59:33 PST 1.

Murphy?? Date: 12 Feb 1998 04:39:45 +0500 Hello, I am not a member of this listserv, but I was advised that you people may be able to help me out in some information that I'm looking for. Those of you who are fans of Enoch Light and/or Command Records releases, there is a very distinct style of cover art for its releases. Nearly all of the records list Charles E. Murphy as art director. I am looking for information about Mr. Murphy. I am very interested in how album art affects the perception of record buyers and I am interested in finding out about Mr. Murphy's history. His (or perhaps Enoch's) style of artwork is very similar to the artwork of Stereolab's current releases, so I think that he could be/should be/is considered a very important artist in the world of cover art. I think that the Command cover art is the main reason that I collect Command releases. It definitely adds alot more mystique to the albums over the typical pretty-girl-looking-naughty-into-the-camera covers that seemed to saturate the times. There is absolutely nothing about Mr.Murphy on the 'net, as far as I can find, so if any of you have any info, or pointers about where I could find info about this man's art, please CC: your response back to me, since, as I mentioned above, I'm not a member of this list.

"Spy Surfer" is a catchy, driving spy instro' anno 1998, although its super-clean sound misses some of that genre-typical rough 'n tough fifties/sixties accoustics & three-dimensional space, and the guitar could have used slightly more "twang". "Johnny's theme" sounds like a marvelous cartoon-version of Combustibel Edison! Again a very catchy, uptempo, funny, cocktail/EZ-jazz pop tune, with lots of breaks, twists and changing instrumentation, accented by Hanna-Barbera-like drum rolls and short big band outbursts. (I'm not sure if this single CD with only 4 tracks is the complete soundtrack.)

They attempt to define an "easy" aesthetic that goes beyond lounge or exotica, and that goes beyond music as well, into film and design. Anyhow, if that isn't an "easy" film, I don't know what is.

They played a video from (I presume) the new Jean-Jacques Perrey album. Cool. I can't remember the title of the song--something with three letters (like "E.V.A."). Jean-Jacques's lookin' pretty spry, decked out in a Hefneresque robe, if memory serves. The show also featured a Tipsy video. Hey, while we're on the subject, can someone fill me in on _Amp_?

Checking the discography at http://siteworks.com/szabo/lsd55_65.htm would this be "Gone With The Wave"? This is the only release they list on Colpix for the '55-'65 range. Released (or recorded?) October 1964. On the reviews page http://siteworks.com/szabo/ls_rev.htm he gives it a thumbs-up, describing it as, "A terrific collection of catchy, upbeat jazz tunes accompanying a documentary film on surfing." Also says it's "very, very hard to find."

(soundtrack) Date: 18 Feb 1998 14:02:00 +0100 This review has been added to my web site........... Roberto Bonati: "Voglio Una Donnaaa!" (soundtrack) REVIEW: This is quite a mixed bag. The six vocal tracks are modern, commercial Italian pop. The rest of the soundtrack is much more interesting, and could well appeal to Italian soundtrack lovers as well as the new lounge fans. It's written by Roberto Bonati, contrabass teacher at a conservatory and active in both jazz and contemporary music. Several of Bonati's 19 tracks are played by a small jazz combo (1 or 2 saxes up front, piano, electric guitar, drums, bass) and create nice and tight, propulsive, danceable, sophisticated, no-nonsense pop jazz. Especially on track #2, "Genitori stecchiti", it's hard to sit still! Other similar titles are "Chinotto", "La scuola", "Getaway" and "Addio Ermete". This last one adds some wild piano abuse. The first half of "Jail blues" is a very slow and moody blues for guitar and drums, but then switches to some playfull, uptempo jazz pop in the same vein. Playfull too, and yet intimate, is "Beguino dello yogurt". Yet another Latin piece, "Suite del tango", has some nice touches of circus music. "Hermann, il cattivo" sounds to me like an homage to the Batman theme! "Suite di Roxa" is one of the most interesting and intrigueing tracks. Over 10 minutes of rather minimalistic, repetitive and hypnotising music with only flute, alt sax, light Latin percussion, and bass. Watchamacallit? New age beatnik? Bonati's simple and straightforward approach, without much ornaments, reminds me slightly of Badalamenti's "Twin Peaks" score on a couple of tracks, especially in "Sheridan, il tenente". Several other of Bonati's tracks are more sentimental, played by a chamber orchestra ("Cecilia"), piano plus cello ("Psyco"), acousticic guitar and flute ("Addio Cecilia", "Addio Roxa", "Addio Ida"), piano and flute ("La notte de Cecilia"). About the only one of these romantic tracks that wasn't too sentimental for me, is "Valzer", a beautiful, very very Italian waltz, reminding me of Franco Battiato. The eclectic nature of this score (tango, circus music, jazz, chamber music) has to remind us of the inevitable influence of that Italian genius, Nino Rota. I'm afraid the TOTAL soundtrack will only appeal to people who watched and liked the album, but if you don't mind zapping your CD, there's a lot of good tracks to enjoy here!

Just like buses, eh - wait for 25 years and two come along at once! Siesta also released a FD Christmas EP last year so, rather belatedly, here's some info about that first (it's still available): FREE DESIGN- "CHRISTMAS" EP (siesta 65) If there is one re-issue worth doing in the whole wide world for the Christmas of 1997, certainly this is the one. The Free Design's Christmas single. Siesta rediscovers this lost masterpiece that is however, as fresh today as it was some thirty years ago. The single features 3 outstanding ecclesiastical-vocal cuts (dorian benediction/ my very own angel/ lullaby) inexplicably unreleased in Japan that is wrapped in perfect white-vinyl and classy design "siesta trademark". To be served with a plate of oysters. And here's what they have to say about the compilation: FREE DESIGN - "BUBBLES" CD/vinyl Free Design enthusiasts who have been wishing and hoping for a more definitive collection of their music will get their wish next month [3 March to be precise] when Siesta will release a 20-song CD/ double 10" vinyl LP (with tracks from the legendary Children's album). We're sure that what the world needs now is more Free Design... If you're in the UK you can get these titles through Rough Trade. Alternatively, you can get them directly from Siesta. Their website is at: http://www.get.es/siesta/ Woo-ee, I can't wait!

Gals & Pals -- Vocals 1963-1967 . . . CD . . . $13.99 Metronome (Germany), Mid-60's Condition: New Copy Cool reissue of this obscure Swedish vocal jazz group from the 60's, with a sound that's similar to The Blue Notes of Paris, The Double Six, The Singer Unlimited, The Swingle Singers, or other European jazz vocal groups with male and female singers. This CD compiles 22 tracks of their hard to find tracks from the mid 60's, including "Wives & Lovers", "Walk On By", "Blue On Blue", "What The World Needs Now", and "Lullaby of Birdland".

Date: 18 Feb 1998 23:34:37 -0500 Some historical significance to February 19 (soon to be today, it already is for some of you)... Edison was granted a patent for the tin-foil cylinder phonograph on February 19, 1878 -- making for roughly 120 years of sound from needles in grooves! Actually, the original prototype did its first recording and playback on that legendary "Mary Had A Little Lamb" jam session, December 6, 1877 (maybe preceded by an earlier paper-medium prototype in July, 1877 -- that recording supposedly being, "Halloo"). Here's a couple of links for the occasion (which reminds me -- where's Lou been lately?)... http://ac.acusd.edu/History/recording/notes.html Provides a historical chronology of recording technology. This also includes a bit of information on the 33/45-rpm format wars. Columbia introduced the 12" 33 1/3; RCA countered with the 7" 45, but after a few years, they called off the war and added each others' formats to their own production. No mention on the 78 angle, or what other companies did while this was going on. http://www.rose.com/~caps/index.htm Is the home of the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society, pretty much self-explanatory. They also have a nice batch of links on hand. So...

He uses "Metal Aunglongs" on the song "Shore Leave" - played by Francis Thumm, who was the guy who turned Tom onto Harry Partch. Don't know if that's a Partch special, but it could be. Elsewhere he uses lots of odd instrumentation, but I don't see anything unrecognizable. Certainly not the Chromolodeon. Lots of odd percussion (Bass boo bams, brake drum, bell plate). Some marimba - which was a Partch favorite, but nothing else distinctively Partchian. The book _Small Change_, about TW, does describe Partch's influence on Waits. Which Tom himself would acknolwedge as primarily a sense of liberation, the ability to make music out of anything, rather than using Partch's scales or specific instruments. Of course, the Hal Wilner project of Minus music uses Partch's instruments extensively. --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: Shangri-la Subject: RE: (exotica) Re: Perez Prado Date: 19 Feb 1998 10:45:05 +-200 > once again, the music suddenly stops a couple of times, > and then the whole band shouts: "Marylin Monroe!"

Will Friday February 20 8:36 AM EST Schifrin Launches Record Label By Phil Gallo HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Composer, arranger and conductor Lalo Schifrin, best known for his "Mission: Impossible" theme, has launched a record label that will be distributed through the Internet worldwide. The first Aleph Records release is "Film Classics," a CD of a December 1995 concert in Marseilles, France, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Lumiere brothers' film process. In May, the label will release a recording of Schifrin's "Gillespiana," featuring trumpeter Jon Faddis and Paquito D'Rivera on alto saxophone. A new recording of "Jazz Mass," the piece for which Schifrin won his first of four Grammys, is slated for later in the year, and in April, the London Symphony will record his "Jazz Meets the Symphony No. 4." Schifrin's wife, Donna, heads Aleph -- named after the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet -- which is exploring retail distribution in Europe. "We are waiting a little to create a catalog" before considering retail distribution, Lalo Schifrin told Daily Variety from his home in Los Angeles. He will serve as Aleph's artistic director and the label's main artist. The score for Schifrin's most recent film work, "Tango," will be released by Deutsche Grammaphon. His other works have been issued by Warner Bros., Atlantic, Verve and others. Schifrin, who has been touring Europe and Argentina, sees the label as a chance to bring his work in jazz, film, TV, pop, Latin and the classical fields into one central place. "Because there are several aspects of my career and it continues to evolve, the label gives me a chance to show the breadth of my career along with soloists of great stature." The label can be accessed at www.alephrecords.com or www.schifrin.com.

I can also recommend Primal Scream's recent "Echo Dek" album for fans of wacked-out 1970s styleee dub (like me). It's an On-U-Sound re-recorded version of the band's last studio LP... I'm not a fan of the band themselves (except perhaps "Loaded") but there's precious little of them left in the dub plate version. :-) It also comes as five 7" singles in a box, which is great for the vinyl junkies.

A >> dag is actually a rather unpleasant thing, but to be called a dag is >> a compliment: it means that you're an individualist, >This may not be the place for semantic debate; still I always thought >a *dag* was more a wanker with a bad attitude than an proud >individualist. Speaking as an antipodean myself (although not as an Australian), I can say that a dag is the sheepshit that gets stuck in the wool around a sheep's bottom, and, oddly enough, if a person is called a dag, it means that they are quite funny and amusing ... but in a good way as opposed to being someone you'd laugh AT. A situation can also be a dag, as in an amusing, fun time. My father would always tell us to "rattle your dags" if he wanted us to hurry up. I suspect that this phrase, like many crudities of my father's, may have come from Barry Humphries via his character Barry McKenzie. Some of you may know Barry Humphries as Dame Edna. Barry McKenzie was a character he created to be the archetypal Australian (ocker) bloke. The first Barry McKenzie movie (which is hilarious, by the way) brought Aussie culture to the world. And tore shreds out of it. It also created a whole new dialect of colloquialisms like the above, which, if my father is anything to go by, have stuck around. (My father lived in London when the movie came out, and won a free ticket by guessing what the various phrases meant). There's a Barry McKenzie website if anyone's interested. Sorry if I'm off topic, but I figure Aussie culture is exotic to most of the list in any case.

(Unless you count my childhood listening to the Beatles, T-Rex, and Flutes of the Andes!). I've been wondering for a while what other music people on this list are into. Sorry if this subject has since been done to death or something. Well, my roots are in punk and also in NZ music, which is quite distinctive - kinda punky, kinda Velvet Undergroundish. Pavement have taken a lot of inspiration (and whole songs) from NZ bands, so that will give you an idea. Basically though, I've always collected oddball looking records. At first only for kitsch value and because I liked steel drums, but then in a more and more serious fashion. And then I found you guys and found there was a name to my collection: lounge! ... or is that exotica, or SABPM? I refuse to call anything I listen to Easy Listening. That just sounds too much like Richard Clayderman to me. I'm still into punk (mainly the good old stuff like the Buzzcocks, the Fall, etc), and NZ music, and Ska (which DEFINITELY leads on to lounge type music ... how many Ska James Bond covers are there?). These days I'm also into Rockabilly, Psychobilly, and Roots music. I even like a little bit of Country (& Western!) occasionally ... gasp! A bit of yodelling (a la Slim Whitman), and lotsa jazz, which I used to hate. I've always been into a bit of "authentic" ethnic music as well. Oh, and dub, and reggae, and stuff. So there you go. Some unscientific data! Oh, and yes, I know several punky types who are into Eartha Kitt, Tom Jones, and Shirley Bassey. (Who's seen, by the way, that bloke from the Red Army Choir performing with the Leningrad Cowboys and singing "Delilah"? That was great. You can't beat our Tom, though). And my parents were never into lounge - although my father is into dodgy comedy records from the '30s and '40s England, and '50s USA like no-one else! I think I like both punk and lounge because they are FUN and energetic and open to experimenting with different types of music. Also, both scenes seem less snobby and exclusive than some of those associated with other types of music - although I don't know about in the USA. By the way, I bought a record the other day because it had a track called "Denny" and had an appalling cover: a "jungle" scene with someone in a gorilla suit standing next to a stuffed monkey and 2 stuffed peacocks. On the back are the band - white guys with afros and polyester clothing. I STILL don't have my stereo unpacked, but when I mentioned the band name - Pablo Cruise - to a friend of mine, he told me that they are one of the worst bands - possibly THE worst band ever (cool!)! I must admit that that would confirm my gut feeling from looking at the cover, but I thought I'd get the opinions of you lot, just out of interest!

Tolbert that was in the Feb. 19th issue of the Washington Post newspaper. FYI, "Roy Rogers" is a fast food chain, similar to McDonalds, named after the cowboy film star. Vern LA VALE, Md.=97It may be the only Roy Rogers restaurant in America with a lounge act. It may be the only lounge act in America with a star who's 91. He may be the only 91-year-old fast-food lounge act star who's an African American saxophonist who practiced his nightclub art for decades in the Jim Crow Appalachia of his youth, retired into factory and janitor jobs, and then suddenly in his old age taught himself to play a piano that appeared in a Roy Rogers. He'll say: "A man like me always had to do whatever it took. Work wasn't always steady with the groups and when that music faded out I pushed a broom for 17 years." Now he's a musician again, a noon-hour star of small but distinct wattage in a shopping mall near Cumberland, in the hill-country panhandle about 100 miles from Washington. Live long enough, it seems, and anything can not just happen, but it can happen again. This might account for the seen-it-all-before briskness of James Darr. "Morning, Mr. Darr, how are you today? Looking good," says a middle-aged white-haired woman as Darr opens the doors to the Country Club Mall, which sits atop a knoll of the Appalachian Mountains. He moves fast and dresses well, walking the walk of a man on a mission. "Hey, how you doing today?" asks a burly, red-bearded man. Sometimes Darr nods back and sometimes he fires off a curt "Morning" but always he keeps moving. The girls behind the Roy Rogers counter utter a chorus of "There he is!" He ignores them. He takes off his overcoat to reveal a charcoal-gray sport coat set off by a crisply positioned red tie. A man introduces himself, wants to ask some questions. "I can't talk to you right now, I've got work to do," he says. Meanwhile, this may be the only Roy Rogers in America that has an 88-year-old regular who wants to get here so bad he pays a nurse to help him. He comes not for the food but for the musician he's been listening to for more than half a century, starting when he was on the other side of the Jim Crow divide. "When he starts playing, it's like neither of us ever got old," Loman Bennett says. Bennett, a white businessman, heard Darr play the saxophone in the black jazz and swing bands that toured the region back in the 1930s and '40s: the Original Bellhops, the Black Diamonds, Bud Mills and His Orchestra, and the Broadway Serenaders. Bennett sits at the table closest to the piano. "Hey, Mr. Darr, do you remember one called 'The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi'?" A faraway look crosses Darr's face. He begins gently bobbing his head to some unheard melody. Then the fingers work the keyboard.

Part 2 Date: 22 Feb 1998 19:22:17 -0800 (this is the second of two parts of a recent Washington Post article) Bennett first heard Darr play at the Riverside Casino in Ridgeley, W.Va. That was before a flood of the Potomac washed the place away. Bennett would listen and drink. Darr would play and thirst. It was one of the rules of Jim Crow. Darr says, "We could play in the clubs and the white people would sing and dance to our music. But we couldn't buy a drink and they weren't allow to buy us a drink even during intermission. We opened up nightclubs all over the East Coast. It was quite a life, quite a life." They toured around in seven-passenger cars with instruments tied to running boards and rooftops. There were few black-owned hotels, so boardinghouses and friends' extra cots were the accommodations. "It brings back memories to all of us here when Mr. Darr sits down at that piano," Bennett says. Some of Darr's best tips come from old favorites: "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Miss You" and "If I Had My Way." "Sometimes I'll suddenly remember some tune from 50 years ago and it just comes out," Darr says. "I never learned to read music. The guys who could read music in our bands weren't always the best players because they were used to reading too much and not feeling enough. And I'm not even a piano player. I'm a sax man who has trouble getting enough wind these days to play my favorite instrument. I just decided to pick up the piano like this when they put this thing into the Roy Rogers a few years ago." He takes the bus every day but Sunday from his downtown Cumberland apartment for the 20-minute ride to the Roy Rogers. "It gives me something to do. I can't sit in my apartment every day. It's like being in jail. So I get dressed up nice, come here and meet the folks and play for them. And once in a while I make a tip or two," he says. He plays the piano from noon to 2. He says: "I never made it to the big time like my daughter did. She was an international star." He flips through his wallet until he finds a publicity shot. "Her name is Alice. Alice Darr. She played instruments and sang on stages in New York and Europe. She's in her sixties now and doesn't talk to anybody because her arthritis has got her crippled up and she doesn't want anyone to see her that way." He's 91 and still working. Darr won't buy into the idea that work and life as an African American in Appalachia decades before the civil rights movement was any worse than it was in any other part of the country. "It was tough, real tough. But it was tough everywhere. It still is tough. It's just that now everyone wants to make out like everything is easier for us black people. But it isn't." He is done performing for the day. The crowd has been friendly but small and there's only $4 on top of the piano. "I'd probably have made more if you weren't talking to me so much," he says to a reporter. With that he gets up from the bench and with the dignity and dress of a man heading for a chauffeured ride he heads toward the door. "I can't talk to you anymore right now," he says.

[CD] - can't go wrong with any Blue Note Jimmy Smith Various Artists - The Cocktail Shaker [CD] - space age kitsch done the modern way. with new mixes of Mah Na Mah Na, E.V.A. and Miss Lily doing Bluebeard Montefiori Cocktail [CD] - old news to some. i remembered the good reviews and gave it a shot. have not listened to it much, but what i hear, i like very much. Living Guitars - San Franciscan Nights [LP] RCA Camden - mind expanding now sounds of the Haight Ashbury era. Hot pink cover with purple flower-power lettering and green sitars frame a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of sitar through and through. Better than I had hoped - MUCH better!! Jimmy's gonna love it. Hugo Montenegro - Moog Power [LP] RCA Victor - long on my moog hit list, side one came up short. side two got better, but, overall, this record was NOT as good as i had expected. Dizzy and MacArthur Park are my favorites. Touch Me is really struggling. Chim Kotari - Sound Of Sitar [LP] Deram - Pop sitar, heavy sitar. Thick, fat sitar that is right up in your face. Strangers in the Night, Winchester Cathedral, Downtown, Eleanor Rigby and others plus a couple of originals. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) annotated Playlist Fantastica: Beatles exotica 2 Date: 23 Feb 1998 15:58:10 +0100 Fantastica runs on Radio Scorpio, FM106, Leuven, Belgium, each Saturday 15-16 h.

Right up there at the top of the top with Moon Gas, if you like that sort of thing. Marty Manning wrote and arranged the most recognizable version of "The Twilight Zone" that "most" of us have heard. In 1960, released on Columbia an LP was released called "The Twilight Zone" recorded in 3 different sessions; November 7, 21 and 29th; The "basic group" consisted of; Marty Manning - Martenot and Ondioline Melvin Tax-Woodwinds Buddy Brennan-Piano Danny Davis-Trumpet Mundel Lowe-Electric Guitar Bradley Spinney-Percussion On November 7th, also present were; Martin Grupp-Percussion Lois Hunt-Etheral Vocal Effects Anthony Rongo-Drums Ed Arndt-Bass On November 21st all of the above were present PLUS Harry Breuer-Percussion as well as Attilio J. Macero-Special Elctronic Effects For yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears, us collectors out here in the San Francosco bay area thought that the spelling for Mr. Macero was a TYPO and that in reality it was Attilio Mineo on Special Effects, but we have come to learn that it was indeed not a typo:) On November 29th the "basic group" was increased to include; Phil Krause, George Shaw and Martin Grupp-Percussion Jerry Murad-Harmonica Effects Arnold Fromme-The Serpent On November 7th, Titles; The Twilight Zone, The Moon is Low, The Lost Weekend Theme were recorded. On November 21st; The Unknown, Far Away Places, Spellbound Concerto, Shangri-La and You Stepped Out of A Dream were recorded. On November 29th, Forbidden Planet, Night On Bald Mountain, Invitation and The Sorcerer's Apprentice were recorded. Great informative liner notes and a short but very cool bio of Rod Serling is also featured. This is not the music of "The Twilight Zone' BUT just as weird, great and fucked up genius audibly as that TV show was visually. FIND IT NOW!

Does anyone know anything about this artist? Any other projects of note? I love the lp: Outstanding covers of Venus and Lay Lady Lay. Amusing spacescape on the cover. Other finds: Gershon Kingsley's First Moog Quartet; Hugo Montenegro: Mammy Blue (What is that title all about, jeeziz... lp's alot of fun though... spacy version of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. John Montenegro manning the omnipresent ARP synthesizer. Speaking of which, what beyond nomenclature distinguishes it from the Moog?); HM's Vibrations (with Muzzy Marcellino in lieu of theremin); Electronic Music (Turnabout label): features John Cage: Fontaine Mix, Luciano Berio: Visage, Ilhan Mimaroglu: Agony. Kenyon Hopkins: Contrasting Colors (have to tape a new comp. just to include "Cool Village") Walter Wanderly: Rain Forest Joe Harnell: Bossa Now! Enoch Light and the Brass Menagerie (only thing of interest here is the cover: nubiles sparsely clad in barbarian-looking animal skins and shackled in straw-lined cages. Douceurs!)

There are a couple uptempo eurodisco-style instros,one called surprisingly "I Need A Man." Front and back cover photos are of women apparently of legal age, in contrast to Hamilton's usual young subjects, who are continually reposted in certain Usenet binary groups. It ok if you are into that kind of thing, and i dont regret paying the $6 at Amoeba. Now i guess i should listen to and review the OST's from 'L'Histoire D'O", Klauz Schulze's "Body Music", "Emmanuelle" ,"The Chapman Report' (surprisingly cool almost-crime jazz) and the outrageous 60's or 70's musical "Let My People Come." Never see any of these discussed on the list soooooo........ BTW, Fausto Pappetti sure knows how to pick album covers, if you get my drift....

I also got the Four Rooms soundtrack, which is great, but some of the "themes" are so short! I long for more. So, I have two questions. One, how does Combustible Edison's output stack up, compared to the soundtrack. More of the same? Cuz if it is, I need to purchase them right away. Two, and I hesitate to say this on this list, I still don't click with Esquivel. It's funny, the two songs they put on the Four Rooms soundtrack are definitely two of the most exciting in the collection. Is there something I'm missing? Is this a mediocre collection? Or is this all I can expect from him and just write it off as not my thing, except for the occasional exception? Anyone?

They look like they're from the 80s so they might be kinda itchy. I didn't recognize the composers. I picked up a couple of Capitol's Media Music LPs from the same bin.

I know, I blather about Dustygroove a lot. Well, this was the first chance I had to check out the location. Now, I'm sorry but I have to slam them regarding their used vinyl. They were selling mediocre old moog and lounge records for like $20-$40. They must have had about six or seven records in there that I'd gotten at a thrift store for less than a buck. Oh, and I think the Claude Denjean was in there, the one with "Big Yellow Taxi" and the cool lips on the cover (did anyone notice the sexual allusion in that cover? kind of hard to ignore). Anyway, I don't think that record is very good, certainly not worth the fortune they're charging. What else...some of the bad Les Baxter albums, the ones with choruses. Lots of soundtracks that are easily gotten elsewhere and aren't very good anyway. I can understand someone wanting to plunk down a lot of bucks for good Les Baxter, moog, or Esquivel, but as I happen to own these records they had, I can testify that most of them were momentarily amusing at best. At one point I even laughed out loud, provoking stares. That was when I came across a record that I'd just picked up in a dollar bin at another record store only two or three weeks before. They were asking $35 for it. I wish I could remember what title it was, but it was that unmemorable. Oh, but I did manage to pick up the "Coffy" soundtrack reissue, and I recommend it for you blaxploitation soundtrack fans. And only $8! The next day, I went to Unique thrift store and got an Abbaesque-era Heino, an Indian movie soundtrack 45 and a double-album set of stethoscopic heart recordings. No doubt, they're worth a fortune. _______________________________________________________________ http://www.ripco.com:8080/~luddite # 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: Joe Batutis Subject: (exotica) Sammy Davis Jr. "Live" Date: 24 Feb 1998 21:01:29 -0500 (EST) Hi there- I just got a great two CD set of Sammy Davis Jr. Live at the Sands, 1968.

Date: 24 Feb 1998 22:40:21 -0500 . . . .was definitely the David Rose Orchestra playing "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (!?!?) This is from his MGM release _The Velvet Beat: Lush String Interpretations of Today's Hits_. Ay chihuahua, it doesn't get ANY more misguided than this! Though the liner notes do run a close second, blathering on about Satisfaction's "basic American Negro character." They go on to say, "David Rose hews to the blues line in a version surely most acceptable to Mich Jagger and his long-tressed cohorts." . . . Eh? It goes straight downhill from there--though "Tambourine Man" does get an ambitious treatment, i think attempting to turn it into a minuet or something. Oh, and there's a weirdly Copland-esque version of "Downtown"! Slight Letdown Department: Tak Shindo's _Accent on Bamboo_ (Capitol) The Asiatic detours are fun as far as they go ("copious Koto plinking throughout the album," per the liner notes), but at its core this is really a big-band jazz album, which doesn't do a lot for me. I liked Shindo's noir-ish original, "Portrait In Blue"; also "Stumbling," which features goofy koto and gongs. So I guess this one is still a keeper.

Some of my friends like the records I've found, and some don't, but I finally figured out how to describe the music I collect. The term "Exotica" doesn't seem to have the right connotation. (Wasn't that the name of a Madonna record? No, that was Erotica...) I used the term "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" once or twice, but that's a little too involved to explain. I can't bring myself to use the name "Lounge Music"; that would bring a blank stare for sure. So what can I call this stuff? How about... EXOTIC & TROPICAL It's descriptive, and fits well with Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, or Country & Western. They all have an ampersand, so why can't we? In defining Exotic & Tropical, I use the same logical model as the definition of Country & Western music; a record doesn't have to be BOTH Country and Western to be a Country & Western record; that's a genre which consists of all Country music plus all Western music. By analogy, Exotic & Tropical includes anything you would think of as Exotica or Exotic music plus all Tropical music, however you want to define that. I sometimes expand E & T to include particular things I like, including: (Here are some of my record hunting tips, to return the favor for all the good leads I got from Exotica list postings...) The Chordettes, specifically their sublime version of _All My Sorrows_ as calypso with light bongos which is just dreamy! (Uncharted single, perhaps on an LP?) Comedy is not excluded. Elsa Lanchester's "Songs for a Smoke-Filled Room" features _Fiji Fanny_, a song about a hula-hula girl, her prized Frangipani tree, and a MAN who only wanted ONE THING. Hint: he was a botanist. I think this was reissued on Everest as "Bawdy Cockney Songs." The Limeliters, for their rendition of _Spanish is the Loving Tongue_ on their LP "Fourteen 14K Folk Songs", and maybe even Dorothy Olsen's version of this tune, on LP "I Know Where I'm Going" which is also worth getting. Both on Victor. In the same vein, there's _Senora_ on the Kingston Trio's LP "Going Places" Guy begging chaperon for a little privacy. It's hot stuff. The Brothers Four, who made the Cashbox top 100 with _My Tani_ off the LP "Rally Round." "Ricky Ricardo music", and really anything Latin American; even some Trini Lopez makes my party playlist. Some less folksy recommendations include: Keely Smith, when she sings _Tea Leaves_ on the LP "Dearly Beloved" or _Christmas Island_ on the LP "A Keely Christmas." If you can get the "Mmmmm, Myrna" LP on Liberty, by Myrna Fox, she does a nice version of _Majorca_. (I think she later changed her name to Myrna March...) Xavier Cugat's _Africano Soy_ on the LP "OLE'" (with maniacal laughter on it!) and the great _Maria Elena_ on "Viva Cugat." "Eddie Cano at P.J.'s" (Reprise) has a great swingin' _Hello Young Lovers_ on it. Another fave is the "Marimba Mambo y Cha-Cha-Cha" LP on Audio Fidelity 1802 with a fine orchestra of Marimbas. Includes Cherry Pink! Ricardo Juarez' Orchestra doing _Too Young Cha Cha_ on the LP "Happy Time Cha Chas" on Grand Award rocks me more than the Command stuff I've found, but then I'm partial to that old Nat King Cole tune. I'll bet you can just imagine it now...

In the last case, it was goodbye to pristine Yma Sumac 10 inch, hello remnant "bones-picked-clean" stringwash fodder. Bah! Anyway, to remind me that I get more than my fair share anyway, here's some of my favourites from the past couple of months. Duff records rarely get a mention because there's too many. It also contributes to "keeping the British end up", as they don't say any more. "100% Cotton" -- Peter Thomas (Crippled Dick) New Crippled Dick Hot Wax 2CD/2LP collection of music from German spy crime (Jerry Cotton), with lots of previously unreleased stuff. Excellent, up there with "Raumpatrouille", with characteristic P.T. sounds. 60 tracks (some are very short). "The Very Best of Les Paul and Mary Ford" (MFP/Capitol) Funny that the Les Paul guitar is much better known than Les Paul's actual music. Anyway, his early overdubbing and tape speeding-up experiments create a novel guitar-only (sometimes with voice) texture which I really like. This was copied a lot. "The Crazy Horse Saloon" -- Albert van Dam and Orchestra (Pye) "The most sophisticated strip-tease club in the world" -- The Crazy Horse Saloon, Paris. It is clear that a Wild West style theme could not at all be considered tacky or declasse, and nor could the quasi-"Prussian Military" attire of the lady on the front cover (carefully positioned medals concealing the chest region and a helmet with a pointy bit on top). Nor indeed any of costumes of the femmes (and one marionette -- POSSIBLY -- the B&W photos are difficult to make out) on the back cover. Anyway, hammocks and bubbles and Germanic ladies are sophisticated, and I'm glad that's clear. The music on this is good. Very good. Very very good. The arrangements are (nearly) all by the mighty Les Reed, which is perhaps one reason. A track such as "Voodoo Doll" offers up the most ultra-tempo squawking whooping sounds -- sounds a bit like "Jungle Fantasy" from Camilleri's "Spectacular Accordians" crossed with the George Barnes Guitar Choir (why bother saying this? I don't know). Great steaming kettledrums in "Bubbles Galore". I was disappointed that it didn't quite live up to the liner notes promise that many "crazy" sound effects would be incorporated (really only in the first track), but nevertheless, a bloody great slice of top music that blows away David Rose. "New Sounds of Chico Arnez" (Contour) While not every track on this is fantastic, the ones that are, are very fantastic indeed. Magnificent pieces of hyperbolic cheesiness on it, leering vocal intejections on "Would I", an "easy funky listening" version of "Whole Lotta Love", and a great "Hawaii Five-O". "Dilo (ugh!)" -- Perez Prado (RCA) Every track on this IS fantastic, and I was really pleased to find this in Oxfam after such a long search for Perez on vinyl. "Mmm, Nice" -- Bob Thompson, his Chorus and Orchestra (RCA) Unfortunately in mono, but still has nice arrangements and a couple of original tracks; good for those who like those kind of arrangements that have some vocal fragments rather than brain-numbing mmmmmmmming continuous-like. "16 Small Screen Greats" -- Ronnie Hazlehurst and his Orchestra (Polydor) TV classics from Hazlehurst, including the mighty "Two Ronnies" theme, and "Some Mothers Do Ave Em" (this programme was Michael Crawford's first claim to fame, when he was a sitcom actor rather than a singer). Which is splendid, but things go awry when he ventures onto pieces he didn't write. Still great. "BBC TV Themes Vol. 3" (BBC Records) I don't know many hundreds of TV theme albums I own, but this one had on the proper old theme for "Tomorroww's World", and also the theme for "Parkinson" by Harry Stoneham. Hurrah! "Latin Lowrey" -- Harry Stoneham (EMI Studio 2) (On subjects Stonehamian, I really LIKE this, it really has a magnificent "test card cocktail" ambience I find irresistable. Probably not everyone's cup of tea.) "Stereo Parade" -- Various Artists (Polydor) This one is a 50s (?) compilation, featuring the likes of Kaempfert, Zacharias, Horst Wende, and I can't remember who else. Has Kaempfert in the most frisky mood I've ever heard him (does anyone know what album "Explorer" is from?); the Zacharias song "Fiddler in Hawaii" is odd; "Hey Eula" by Max Greger is honking sax. The cover features a parade of bathing beauties wearing sashes inscribed with the featured artists' names in big gold letters. Tasteful. "On The Move" -- Werner Muller (Decca Phase 4) A round the world kind of an album. Not all great, but the rocking version of "Calcutta" and the rendition of "Istanbul" are excellent. "Flight To Tokyo" -- George Wright (Hi Fi) Normally I hate Wurlitzer records, but this one has some great moments with "Rickety Rickshaw Man", and "Japanese Can Can". "Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be" -- Original Cast (Decca) Written by Lionel Bart, who also wrote the musical version of "Oliver". This is very strange, and very low-fi, being a live recording by a tape recorder wearing a very thick jumper. Yootha Joyce and Barabara Windsor are in this fifties obscurity. I still think the stage version of "The Canterbury Tales" featuring Wilfrid Bramble must be one of the mindbogglingest stage show albums ever, but it might well be that I could be put rapidly right on that point. "Good Morning Starshine" -- Sounds Orchestral (Pye) Hair pieces and others with the Sounds Orchestral sound. I also picked up a disco version of Hair, can't remember the artist now. Others with good bits: "You Only Live Twice" OST -- John Barry (Sunset) "The Great Escape" OST -- Elmer Bernstein (Sunset) "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" OST -- Ernie Morricone (UA) "Leroy Anderson conducts Leroy Anderson" (Brunswick) "Latin Favourites" -- Chaquito (Wing) "Braziliana" -- Jack Parnell and his Orchestra (MFP) "Festival in Costa Rica" -- Stanley Black (Decca) "Fly Me To The Moon" -- Joe Harnell and Orchestra (London) "Stop The World I Want To Get Off" -- Original Cast (Decca) "Songs of Couch and Consultation" -- Kathy Lee (Reprise) "The World of Caterina Valente" (Decca) "A Polka Spectacular" -- Polkarama (Somerset) [Look, I like this. Leave me alone.] Plus about 8 Bruton music records, featuring names such as Alan Hawkshaw and David Lindup, but generally not being as good as that would make them sound. Most of them are comedy music. Which isn't funny. *************************************** WARNING: SOME SICKNESS AHEAD ---------> *************************************** "Bert Weedon and his Dancing Guitars" (Dansan) Solely noteworthy for the cha-cha version of the theme to "Soap", which is surely Bert Weedon's finest hour. Probably his only ever fine hour. "Pianorama" -- Bill McGuffie Triple-tracked piano (and celeste) are used in a horrifically laid-back cheesy cocktail-latin-mellow implosion, which features, believe it or not, a version of "I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" (not sure if this is familiar outside the U.K. -- you can hear a portion of it at the end of "Seven Seas of Rhye" by Queen, which is surely a slice of trivia to amaze and amuse for weeks). "Great Operatic Works Tijuana Style" (Boulevard) Hoo, hoo! I've begun to get more and more fascinated by these classical perversion albums... there are some extreme gobsmakers out there (watch out for Ken Moule's "Tchiakowsky Beat!", The Len Hunter Collection's "Swing with Strauss" or Slip Fingers O'Reilly (yeah, right) doing his classical "Honky Tonking"). In this case the arrangements are pretty duff, but it still sends me spiralling off the edge (down to the world where "Ros At The Opera" lives). "Reggae Party Time" -- The Blooblos (Contour) I have a Jamaican reggae album that has a cover of "The Magnificent Seven" theme and also a song that mixes "The Peanut Vendor" with "My Grandfather's Clock", both of which are excellent. This is nothing like that. I feel obliged to point out that reggae covers of songs like "Maggie Mae" and "You're So Vain" are NOT big and clever. Unfortunately, the "squeeze an album out in the last remaining 35 minutes after an all night session of heavy boozing" ambience that the musicians project means that they're not even remotely funny either, just immensely tiring. Much like reading all this. "Battle Royal" -- Bob Sharples (Decca Phase 4) Sounds of four famous wars rendered in stereo with sound effects and music of the time. This could be the worst record I own, but unfortunately it isn't. ******** LAST BIT ******** Does anyone know of a list for spoken/comedy record collectors? I've been picking up tons of these, but I'm a bit reluctant to start talking about them here, as they might be straying too far off-topic for some people. I must just mention "Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet" (Hallmark) One episode per side, original voices and Barry Gray music; nice find for those who like to find this kind of thing. Which I do. I had a dekko on some Anderson collector's sites to find a discography, and I never realized how much merchandise these shows generated.

Here's my review of Danger Girl from Exotica/Et Cetera Issue 7: What hasn't been said about Betty Page? America's naughty-but-nice girl-next-door pin-up has inspired volumes of adulatory biography and playful photographs since a new generation has discovered her captivating mixture of innocence and smouldering sensuality. Framing her considerable charm with music, however, has never been attempted-until now. Betty's photographs can be divided into two broad categories: her widely-published nude and semi-nude pin-ups, and the more obscure fetish and bondage shots taken by benefactor Irving Klaw. It was the latter that sparked the idea for Danger Girl. "To me, Betty Page was always a Danger Girl," says Thomas Hartlage, who researched and produced the album. Rejecting the soundtrack music used in the burlesque films with Page appearances as "mostly just funny," Hartlage turned instead to 50's page-photographer Bunny Yeager for ideas. These conversations, coupled with his own intuitive selections, produced an album of extraodinary music. Danger Girl is a compilation of dark and smoky spy & crime jazz, culled from mid-century English and American archives by a dozen or so composers, including John Barry, Robert Farnon and Jack Dorsey. If 60s crime soundtracks like "Richard Diamond" and "M Squad" are your cup of tea, you'll think you've died and gone to black&white heaven: Mr. Hartlage has assembled 22 cuts that do nothing less than define the genre. With names like "Agent Who," "Johnnys Dive," "Crime Action 1" and, of course, "Danger Girl," the songs sport enough pounding drums, bleating horns, slack-stringed guitars and reverberating bongos for even the most insatiable appetite. Hats off to Hartlage for unearthing these gems. If you're having a hard time drawing the connection between Betty and the beat, Q.D.K. includes a 28-page digipack booklet with some of Klaw's best shots to help you along. Anything for art... Issue 12 will carry the entire QDK catalog, including some pretty amazing new issues, on both vinyl and CD.

Date: 25 Feb 1998 10:32:57 -0500 I can't remember the last time I did one of these score lists....it's been said before, but February is a lousy time for records...thank God it's such a short month. >_< the super cool section: Coffy OST (Roy Ayers)--I hadn't heard on the list that this had been reissued--on vinyl, yet! Great music from a great movie. Get it while Pam Grier's still on the comback trail! (fave cut: "King George" with cool whispered vocals, but everything is wonderful--lots of vibes and fuzztone guitar). The guy who owns the store where I bought this told me he found an original copy at a yard sale for 75 cents and sold it for 75 dollars. Yow. :O Peter Matz Brings 'em Back--Five bucks was a little out of my price range for this one, but last time I went to the used book store where I go record hunting twice a year, it had finally been marked down to a quarter. For three cuts featuring MR. VINCENT BELL on electric sitar, I'd be a fool (on the hill) to pass it by! Great go-go arrangements of big band hits, but it's the Bell touch that makes it a keeper (on "Bei Mir Bist du Schon," "Song of India", and "the Music Goes Round and Round"). It's a Project 3 release I haven't seen mentioned on the list before. Blow-dried lounge section: Liberace Presents Vince Cardell: 70s cocktail lounge piano? A keeper for the cover: Vince is wearing a leopard skin tuxedo and is posed next to a hideous plaster leopard statue. Hey, it's autographed! On American Variety International records. From El San Juan Hotel and Casino, Jesse Pessoa, "the Brazilian Harpist"--Strange lounge record that looks like it's of an 80s vintage, judging from the crappy new wave cover art. Not bad music, but what a selection of tunes! Lounge standards like "Never on Sunday" and "Yellow Bird" next to "Chiquitita" (the ABBA Unicef song)!?! Senor Pessoa favors a love boat style leisure suit and permanent wave. What an operator. ^_^ Wash and wear lounge section: Presenting, the Heartbeats: Imagine a group of fun loving doctors from the Texas Heart Institute getting together to wear serapes and play Herb Alpert cover songs. Now imagine them making a record. Can you believe one of these guys operated on my grandfather!? (the bass player, to be exact) ^_- In Person at El Matador by Brasil '65: Early Sergio Mendes effort with Wanda de Sah and Rosinha de Valenca. Best named cut: "Samba da Astronauta." Good live bossa nova with a Joan Miro ripoff cover. Comedy section: That Was the Year That Was by Tom Lehrer--Comedy tunes, with the famous "Vatican Rag." A little dry for me--I like his earlier, sicker stuff better. Someone stuck his first 10 inch LP in the sleeve, but I left it behind. The Piano Artistry of Jonathan Edwards (with Darlene!)--Sadly, I've heard so many genuinely crummy amateur albums that this had no comedic value for me at all. I found myself saying, "gee, they're not that bad." The cover is a keeper, though. ^_-; The stereo section: Ferrante and Teicher: Keyboard Kapers--What a kute kover! I already have the original "Dynamic Twin Pianos," but this cover is nicer. However, "DTP" has better liner notes, so it looks like I'm keeping that one too. Anyone have this problem? I am the only one concerned with piddling cover changes and reissues? I am the only one dumb enough to keep them? <[ :( Provocative Percussion volume 4: After a while, all Command albums sound alike to me. But they have nice covers, so what are you gonna do? :( the Christian section: Under a Musical Mushroom with Mrs. Miggsy: I had to buy this album. How many religious childrens' records have a psychedelic singing mushroom (accompanied by a canary) on the cover? Almost as scary as little Marcy, especially Mrs. Miggsy's "Church Manners." Remember kids: God doesn't like it when you scarf down cookies in church. Spacy organ music, too! Patch the Pirate Goes to Space: A studio musical with a great cast, including Patch, the evangelist pirate, his kinfolk Pixie Pirate and Pee Wee Pirate, and their friends Sissy Seagull, Wally Whale, and the Oyster Trio. Featuring a guest appearence by Marvin Martian (isn't that plagarizing Warner Brothers?) and his Flying Sausage. Ahoy matey!! ^_^ and last but not least, BONGO-MANIA! Bongo Bongo Bongo by Preston Epps--Fantastic and amazing bongo record. Side two is one 12 minute track with animal noises (not just birds, either) and chanting people, in addition to the lighting fast bongo beatin'. "Call of the Jungle," and how! Bonus points to the label for actually putting a photo of Mr. Epps on the back cover. They decked him out like Harry Belafonte, but dumb duds can't diminish this guy's talent. Bongo Session by Mike Pacheco--Afro-Cuban style jazz, heavy on bongos (naturally) and with a great cover that looks like it came right out of _Downbeat_. On the Tampa label. Is this a reissue (or original) of Tampa's "Bongo Date"? If memory serves me, Pacheco was the bongo man on the I Want to Live soundtrack. Someone who knows what they're talking about feel free to correct me. There's a drawing of Pacheco on the cover, and I think he's wearing Jack Diamond's glasses. ^_- Baldwin and Bongos by Eddie Osborn, with Bob Rosengarden--sort of sappy, compared to the killers above, but good, in a bongo-lite sort of way. Kind of reminds me of old game-show music. remember boys and girls, God doesn't like it when you play bongos in church, either.

Come Back To Me is on this, as is Birth of the Blues, as well as absolutely KICK ASS versions of Once in Love with Amy and , of all things, Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. This is the album that the recorded intro to Come Back to Me was on. Originally released as Reprise LP 6214, its available on CD as DCC Jazz DJZ-625.

Sure, the very first time you hear these songs done in the "percussion realm" it's funky and interesting, but the appeal wears thin real quick. The arrangements are pedestrian and B-O-R-I-N-G.

I own a buttload of moog, but I bought all of it when I was living in Lincoln, Nebraska for five years. I got Exotic Moog, Happy Moog, Age of Electronicus, Copper Plated Electronic Circuit (which was going for a fortune at dustygroove), both Switched On Bacharachs etc, etc, all at the local Goodwill. I'm thinking that one needs to look in those smaller towns, although I have had some luck here in Chicago, albeit only in skid row neighborhoods. Basically you have to go some place where no hipsters would venture. My family lives in northwest Indiana which is near Chicago, and I'm always finding stuff when I go down there. Maybe things are tougher on the coasts... I've got this great book called _The Rag Street Journal_ that lists thrift stores all over the U.S. and Canada.

(John Zorn produced but doesn't perform on any tracks... that may be a plus or minus depending..) Anyway, it's really cool and acutally the "arrangements" are very respectful of the original songs. Only a few times does it veer of into the pointless chaotic strange noise and sounds realm. On the whole it's thoroughly listenable, clever, tuneful, and very much in the Bacharach spirit.

Dusty Groove has come through with some real gems for me and many of the list members (at decent prices) and it sounds like they've come through for you a few times too. I'm sure these prices weren't just based on a random figure - they're smarter than that. What's more, I'm sure if you told them that you thought something was over-priced they would accommodate you. At the very least, they would tell you why it was priced that way. Just because you found the same records at a thrift store for loads cheaper, is a terrible reason to "slam" them. I bought Martin Denny's 'Exotica' for 10 cent's (mint) at a hospital rummage sale. It doesn't mean that it wasn't worth more than that, and I would never bad mouth any store because they are selling it for more than I paid for it.

Well, they've only come through for me on the reissue side of things, which I feel they are very good at. Don't get me wrong - they fill a big hole in the market. I went to the actual store, though, and their used vinyl section just wasn't up to snuff. We have plenty of used vinyl stores that sell the same records, only at much better prices: Hi-Fi, Second Hand Tunes. Reckless has a "lounge" section that is better and cheaper than dustygroove. > I'm > sure these prices weren't just based on a random figure - they're smarter > than that.

Believe me, I know the actual worth of some of this stuff - it was total crap. They did not have a single decent lounge record in the pile. I suppose if they make a good buck off it, it's only because some trendy fools are willing to pay those prices. I had no need to complain to them about the prices, because I don't pay those prices for records. That would take all the fun out of it for me - it's the thrill of the score that motivates me. > Just because you found the same records at a thrift store for loads cheaper, > is a terrible reason to "slam" them.

My point was that the records they were inflating were not very good and not worth very much at all. I also pointed out that other stores, namely Reckless, in the area were selling the same records for about $10. Don't take it so personally. I was just making an observation. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Subject: (exotica) Everyone has stories Date: 25 Feb 1998 14:45:19 -0800 Everyone has those stories of scoring killer stuff for next to nothing no matter what it is. 1930/50's rayon XL hawaiin shirts, rekkids, motorcycles, cars, books, folk art, paintings, sculptures, furniture, whatever.

THE POINT WAS THAT THESE RECORDS WERE NOT KILLER SCORES AT ANY PRICE!!!! Have I made it clear enough yet, because it doesn't seem that my point was understood. This wasn't some bullshit rant about "the man" or "greed", OKAY?? I don't blame them for charging a lot of money for a good record. And I suppose a lot of people would sell crap records for a lot of money as long as some fool is willing to pay it. Why not just take the money. Sure, whatever. I do think that I am perfectly entitled, however, to speculate who would buy a crap orchestral record for $40. I suppose anyone who does pay that amount deserves to pay it. I, for one, am not that foolish, and I wasn't "complaining". If anything, I was quite amused, in fact, I could sell my record collection for a pretty penny. I'm sorry to waste all of your time with these rants, I didn't want this to explode into some flame war.

So there! >> I agree with Michele (the spit wad and gum part was funny). I do hit the thrifts from time to time but I find it sometimes (most times) reasonable to pay someone else a small (usually) fee to search for me. Most of the record vendors are reasonable and if they are not it usually cuts their throat. A careful search of a net vendor's inventory will usually find what I need. A little friendly (and courteous) haggling and I got what I want. This is not to say that I do not enjoy finding the occasional 50 cent record at Goodwill. But if I really want it, 5 to 20 dollars is not unreasonable to pay. On the subject of Michele's post: I owe a great debt to her because she found me some truely excellent Martin Denny abums at a large flea market she goes to in Pasadena. About 15.00 bucks a pop and well worth it. Just as Scamps re- issues are worth the 15.00 a pop for them. Point is if I would have waited to find them in a record bin I would still be looking! (and then there is the gum/spit wad issue). Once again I remind everyone that I collect CD's, LP's and 78's (ain't into 8 tracks yet) so I am not biased towards one medium.

I think a nerve has been struck. I guess I'd better clarify my previous statement, and hopefully re-frame some of the other comments. What Jack says is quite true - I've been to the Diamond pad, and he lives quite simply: surrounded by rekkids and groovy art artifacts and overstuffed ashtrays. I NEVER give Jack a hard time about prices because HE IS *KEENLY* AWARE OF THE VALUE OF COLLECTIBLE VINYL, and prices accordingly because he DOES NOT SELL CRAP. His grading is E X T R E M E L Y strict. Jack deserves the prices he gets, and he knows it. Now, on the other hand, you have the dealers who could not care less about the condition of a record, and likely don't even understand why it's some people want it. They know the Beatles/Elvis market, and that's it.There is a local dealer with outrageously high prices - AND IT"S JUNK!!! If it looks exotic or is mentioned in the index of the RE/Search incredibly strange books, It's automatically $15.00 or more.He won't deal on prices (much) but has 50% off sales from time to time (when he's hard up for cash).I've seen Esquivel records there for $50.00 in damn-near unplayable condition. I don't know how these guys live, because I can't imagine anyone falling for that guff twice. It's not like they are criminals waiting to fleece the unsuspecting... I think in many cases it's laziness or disinterest. It's much easier to set arbitrarily high prices. Grading records and looking up catalog numbers and pricing differently for reissues is all a lot of hard work, and as Jack pointed out, the return is not that too-terribly great. It's true that you can find lots of KILLER stuff at thrift stores and such. I LOVE to troll these places. But serendipity will only get me so far. When I want a particular record in minty-mint condition, I turn to the handful of reputable dealers who will charge me through the nose for their skill and patience and CONNECTIONS. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) Everyone has stories...here's mine.

It's nice to see what's to be had out there. These lists often contain detailed descriptions of the contents of the records that would not have been provided in other contexts. Not many on this list would otherwise sit down and compose synopses of records, so in that respect, they have immense value outside of the opportunity to crow over a "steal." (Which should be tolerated to a certain degree among friends, no?) Some folks do have better things to do than getting down and dirty in the stacks, and that's cool - but I hope that won't cast those of us who thrift out of necessity or artistic expression in a bad light. I have printed and put some of these lists in a binder that I am going to keep in my car. Sometimes I go braindead in record stores and can't focus myself in any one direction. Between these lists, my own want lists, and other references I'm compiling, I hope to get a little more efficient and stop wandering aimlessly from bin to bin. # 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) "Score" Lists Date: 26 Feb 1998 19:34:25 -0600 (CST) On Thu, 26 Feb 1998, Ron Grandia wrote: > > I have printed and put some of these lists in a binder that I am going > to keep in my car.

Peruse and enjoy! MOON SAFARI AIR (SOURCE/CAROLINE) Break out the wraparound shades - the debut album from the French instrumentalist duo of Jean-Benoit-Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, otherwise known as Air, has arrived. A decidedly retro-70s affair, Moon Safari looks back to the age when synthesizers conveyedsterile, intergalactic funkiness (think Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Gary Numan, early Devo, etc.) If it sounds like a one-joke idea, think again - Air rises above the level of kitsch gimmickry through pop smarts, especially evident on two tracks featuring Beth Hirsh's pensive, Sarah McLachlan-ish vocals. The end results make the disc much more subtle and varied than expected. Fittingly, the best songs most obviously pay homage to earlier artists: "Ce Matin La"'slush strings and wah-wah guitars re-create the perfect pop of Burt Bacharach, and the vocoder-enhanced choruses of "Remember" recall the cheesy grandeur of "Xanadu"-era Electric Light Orchestra. With not a bad track in the bunch, Moon Safari is perfect mood music for a trip around the Milky Way in a souped-up '78 Trans-Am. - Matt Hinrichs # 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: Dlsmay Subject: (exotica) Pure Pleasure of Bandwidth Date: 27 Feb 1998 02:10:14 EST Ola Lou (and Exoticats), Thanks to the list, I've spent the last half hour reading an archive of Burt Bacharach articles (as suggested by the list) and listening to KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic concert of Com Ed.

Don't apologize, Jessica! A few years back thrift stores were the *only* place you could find this music! Has everybody forgotten that? It was only a pioneer generation of "bottom feeders" who rescued this music from total oblivion. . . Even now I would still rather spend a dollar each, on 17 unknown scrounge-o LPs (in the hopes of discovering some forgotten gem), rather than plunk it all down for one price-guided, "expert-approved", Goldmine-graded album in a collector store. It's just more fun! How else would I have stumbled across that truly bizarre harpischord "Quiet Village" cover? That one will not be in ANY price guide I promise you. And if I do occasionally score one of the "famous" ones, so much the better. I still feel like there is so much to learn about this music. . . "so who is Al Caiola again?" How could you even *know* who to spend your $40 per LP on, before you had socked away your first 100 thrift-store discoveries. . . started to trace the names that overlap between albums. . . figured out who really knocks you out. . . If none of this had been available at thrift-store prices, I probably would have gone into collecting something else entirely. (Wood-grain toaster ovens?) A british anthropologist named Michael Thompson wrote a hilarious article in the 70s called "Rubbish Theory." (Later it became a chapter in his book of the same name--larger university libraries might have it.) He was writing about the strange process where cultural artifacts drop out of fashion, and then literally become "taboo" for a while. (He was actually writing about buildings and whole neighborhoods! --But the principle applies on all scales.) During this phase where something has become "rubbish," only a few cranks want anything to do with it. . . but soon they are followed by avant-garde trendies, then collectors, then a full-blown phalanx of archivists, scholars, and "heritage" organizations. This process has happened over and over again in different contexts (It's kind of hilarious to see it happening now with Rock and Roll!) But where does it leave us, those original cranks? Forgotten and despised, that's where.
