Andreas Dorau's age is not indicated but on the LP and video he looks about 14-16. The album 'Blumen Und Narcissen' (Flowers and Daffodils - I think) is a classic. Good to see Doreau is still going.

The one that particularly sticks in my mind is "The Lustful Sexlife of a Perverted Nympho Housewife" (the cover really says things like "listen as Pete the vacuum cleaner salesman demonstrates EXOTIC NEW PERVERSIONS"; but, I already have the Frank Zappa back catalogue, so...). Anyway, there were a range of things, including the "Shaftman" (I guess you call it blaxxxploitation) album, which featured no music, just "sound effects" and a free g-string on purchase, the Emanuelle films (not to be confused with the Emmanuelle films -- one less m), "Deep Throat" etc. etc. Serge Gainsbourg and "Sweden Heaven and Hell" were the only things mentioned that I've previously seen discussed on this list, I think. Basically the indication was that there has been an explosion in collectability for these things. The discography at the end featured items ranging from 25 to 350 quid.

Wish I still had it, too! It was bundled with (then) Walter Carlos' "Well-Tempered Synthesizer". I remember some of the songs quite well: Conlon Nancarrow - He made wonderfully detailed music for player piano. The whole Study #7 is great and I had the great privilege of meeting him face to face in a class and he said he disliked the recording, because the producer was seemingly more interested in electronic music than the sonorities of the player piano. He preferred the Arch recordings of his work. However, it was the snippet from this EP that got me excited about his work, so... Luciano Berio - Singing and speaking through Berio's piece is none other than the Swingle Singers. I found the record later for 29 cents. "Going? Going? Going on? You call that going? You call that on? Steve Reich - I remember this piece. It sort of reminds me of the "Frippertronics" experiments that Robert Fripp did in the 80's (which is, of course to say, later). Harry Partch - As I have mentioned on the list before, I greatly admire the work of Partch and I also had the rare privilege of touching some of the instruments he built. The album "The World of Harry Partch" (from whence the excerpt derives) is well worth seeking out and those who are Dr. Demento fans will get a kick out of the piece "Barstow", which the good Doctor excerpts in the "Funny Five" countdown("Number Three"), so some of you are Partch fans and you didn't know! Kind of like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", no? Another interesting facet of Partch is that he was an Elvis Presley fan. Well, at least of his presentation. Partch wanted his musicians to be "corporeal" when playing his music and move as the mood dictated. He admired Presley's motions onstage. He did gripe that Presley had become a parody of himself in later years. Oh yes! "The Well-Tempered Synthesizer" is nice, too! >I found a white label, 45 sized record (although it plays at 33 1/3) today called >"The Wild Sounds of New Music" on Columbia Masterworks, which is >labelled "Bonus Record."

David, That's the "beauty" and wonderment of VINYL! No doubt it SUCKS BIG TIME;-( There really is no way of telling that I have ever found CROWN and Modern, which CROWN was born out of were the biggest culprits of horrible sounding records in the USA that I have found. I would venture to go out on this limb to say that anyone that has ever bought a used record and has bought a Crown or Modern Label record would agree that they were the hands down absolute worst. These guys would recycle and recycle AND RECYCLE old and tired vinyl to make "new records". Melt down anything black and plastic like to make records, like Black ashtrays, butts included;-) Of "special note" about Crown though is that IMHO 1 of the top 5 best bongo beatin' beatnik Latin jazz records of all time is on Crown; Buddy Collette's Latin Jazz All Stars-Jazz Heat Bongo Beat. Crown and Modern also made records in RED Vinyl and those were "usually" Stereo pressings. One never knows what the sound is going to be like on a Crown label record or for that matter if you already had the record because they would also Repackage and Retitle the record, meaning that the Buddy Collette LP was renamed something else and you would not know it until you dropped that needle:-) Jack # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Mar 1998 16:41:23 GMT From: lousmith@pipeline.com (Lou Smith) Subject: (exotica) FWD: 'Tipsy' monkeys playing merry hell at Indian laboratory > NEW DELHI, March 21 (AFP) - Monkeys in the Indian capital have >been playing merry hell at a state-run laboratory for their daily >fix of alcohol, the Hindustan Times newspaper reported Saturday. > A front-page report said officials at the laboratory, located in >the heart of the city near several newspaper offices, complained >that the monkeys also vandalised offices within the building. > An official said a group of seven monkeys, living in the complex >for several years, had become "addicted to alcohol samples," sent by >drug manufacturers and by the police, for tests. > Hundreds of monkeys inhabit the Indian capital and roam around >freely in key buildings such as the federal secretariat and the >presidential palace. > Another official at the laboratory said the monkeys last week >"jumped" into his room, tore files and "ransacked the entire office" >because "alcohol was not available to them. > "The monkeys get violent if they do not get their daily dose of >alcohol," another official said, adding that they even "cut >telephone wires by biting them. > "They have broken all the window panes and sip the alcohol >samples each night.

I've read messages of the last month, and i'll write something about it later, in my next messages (having not read all that have been said before, it might happen that i'd come late or repetitive on some of the topics, and i beg your pardon in advance). So, lemme tell you that they call me Gionni Paludi (something like "Johnny From The Swamps"), from my radio show the "Gionni Paludi Show", which i hosted for some years on local radio, here in Bologna, North of Italy. Sure you know about the place, as is home of the most ancient university of the world and - above all - home of that deli sung by Weird Al Yankovic in his immortal "My Bologna" (though you haven't really eaten good Bologna - that we call "mortadella", sounds exotic isnt'it? - until you actually come to Bologna). I have suspended my regular G.P.Show (dedicated to find obscure music from the 50's & 60's, mostly), and now host an all-dedicated-to-exotica show called "Take It... Easy!". I think you will be able to hear it on Radio Vik, in the next future (i wish to thank you in public, Vik!). Last summer i was offered from radio R.A.I. (our national radio) to partecipate with my records & stories in the "Maccaroni Radio Container" show. Two days ago, i received phone call from the big boss, asking me to feature again in another national radio show for next summer. I'll do my best, i want to tell you, to promote easy tunes all over the land, and all that is being said in this list by you experts is gonna be huge help. In the Maccaroni radio container, my partners were the "Maccaroni Circus", a local easy/comedy band that has put out, by now, a single cd on indie label Kom-Fut Manifesto, quite hard to find also here in Italy, so i guess you don't have it nor haven't heard of. Other local easyboys are the Montefiori Cocktail, who i think rule! (they have out "Raccolta n. 1" on Irma Records: did you know that Irma heads from Bologna? And do you know why it is called Irma? It's because the label has her offices right where, some decades ago, there was a red light casino hosted by maitresse Irma!). BTW, the Montefiori Cocktail are just back from a 24-day tour of the States (last date on peak of the Twin Towers in N.Y.); has anyone seen them? That's too much annoying you, i guess, so i'll just send you all my big CIAO. I was wonderin': does anybody need some translation from italian c.d.'s or need to know more about italian music and cinema? Just ask me. (Ci sono altri italiani nella mailing list? That's encrypt for "Are there any other italians in the list?". Not you, Rocco, i won't count you in, you don't even know the name of "Ernie" Morricone!) Take it easy, molto easy.

I would describe the sound as eerie, childlike vocals with an accomplished uptempo orchestral backing, although all I can find on them is a discussion in an R&B newsgroup. I like the record very much and wondered who they were, what albums they put out etc. Any info would be appreciated. regards Jonny _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I am Brian Phillips. This weekend, I have just heard I Pelati (were they popular?), I Pelati (The Skinheads) came from Sardinia and had this killer 1966 garage punk song "Brunedda" (I guess that's just what you have heard, maybe on "Infernal World - vol. 2", lp comp. on Martian Recs.), with a peculiar mediterranean flavour due to the sound of the "zagara", a traditional mouth instrument used by sardinian shepherds! B-Side was "Pepe e miele (Pepper And Honey)", italian cover of "I Don't Love You Anymore" from the Hot Rods and the Honeycombs as well. Second, and last, single was: "Come i ragazzi di via Paal" b/w "Oh, Giorgio" (the latter being cover in italian of country classic "The Long Black Veil"). Their country vein popped up also in their participation at the instant movie "Per un pugno di canzoni" (For A Fistful of Songs). The Pelati were five, no hair on their heads (which indeed was against the stream, in days when everybody was actually GROWING their hair). Once they realised that cutting their hair to the bone was just not enough to sell millions of records, they switched name to "The Colours", and recorded 2 more singles in 1967 & 1968: "Con un sorriso" (cover of "One Little Smile") b/w "Detroit City" (sung in italian; of Jerry Lee Lewis & Tom Jones fame); "Hush" (sung in italian; beautiful version of the classic Billy Joe Royal/Deep Purple tune) b/w "Anniversario dell'amore" (cover of "Anniversary Of Love"). Can anybody help and tell me who recorded the original versions of both "One Little Smile" and "Anniversary Of Love"? For those of you who may be interested in Sixties' Beat Italiano, i have just completed "The Catalogue of The Beat Italiano's Singles - 1964/1970". It will be out in few weeks, i still haven't decided its price yet. First edition is of 300 copies only, so hurry if you care. however, the question I have is about a town mentioned in a song by a German group the Rattles. The town is Finale Ligure. The song is all about their concert there. My question is this: does or did this town have a reputation as being a great place to see concerts or having a good scene? Finale Ligure was really the place to go & have fun in the sixties, just like all the riviera in the region of Liguria, which is the part of Italy right across the border from the french cote d'azur (St. Tropez, Cannes, Montecarlo). Noticed the spot on the rear cover of the Montefiori Cocktail cd? That's a typical sixties club from Liguria! Take It Easy.
