As I will be moving from Quebec to Ontario this week, this is the last show I will be hosting before turning the programme over to fellow Exotica list members Cheryl & Brian. Comments & questions welcome (er...before I unsub tomorrow & resub in about a week). See you on the flipside... Allan Criswell: Plan 9 Intro & Theme "Mondo Movies Music" + released by Big Beat records. There are a few songs on this release, but it features mostly spoken word trailers for such cinematic gems such as "Night of the Ghouls", "Maniacs are Loose" & "Thrill Killers". Dimitri from Paris: Prologue "Sacrebleu" + I don't think I've enjoyed a cd this much since Tipsy's "Trip Tease". Nurse With Wound: Darkness Fish "Who can I turn to Stereo" + Musical surrealism. DJ Vadim: Theme from Conquest of the Irrational "USSR Reconstruction" + remix by The Prunes. The Creed Taylor Orchestra: The Secret "Shock Music in Hi-Fi" + this is a seriously twisted record. Elliot Fisher: Dr. No's Fantasy "Bongoland" + one of the recent Ultra-Lounge releases. Johnny Hawksworth: Jane Bond Theme "Betty Page: Jungle Girl" + this comp features production music in the jungle-jazz/mambo/crime styles. United Future Organization: Fool's Paradise "3rd Perspective" + "Secret Agent Swing from the Cosmic DJ Collective" sez the sticker. Very good indeed. The Hollywood Persuaders: Drums A-Go-Go "Las Vegas Grind Pt 1" Dick Hyman: The Moog & Me "Moog: The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman" + cd reissue on the Varese Sarabande label. Dimitri from Paris: Dirty Larry "Sacrebleu" Thievery Corporation: Vivid "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi" + lots of smooth dub & the occassional latin-tinged instrumental. This particular track features tablas, moog & harpsichord (I think). Cornershop: My Dancing Days are Done "Woman's Gotta Have It" + from the groups 1995 release. This sitar & tabla track is far superior to their recent "hit". Tricky: Ponderosa "Maxinquay" + I just finished reading Phil Johnson's "Straight Outa Bristol - Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky & the Roots of Trip-Hop" (Sceptre paperback). Has to be one of the best music-related books published lately. Esquivel: Sentimental Journey "Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music" Neu!: Neuschnee "Neu 2" + Krautrock classic. Imitated by many, surpassed by none. Danielle Dax: Tomorrow Never Knows "Blast the Human Flower" + Whatever became of D.

I think there was some mention of it about six months ago, but I can't find the post. Considering the price (over US$60), I wondered if it featured actual footage of Prado or what. BTW, does anyone have any videos of Prado in action? Or a copy of the Jane Russell movie "Underwater" in which he supposedly makes an appearance or know where there's a copy (in stock) that's for sale? It's currently "out of print" from the publisher. Also, he's listed as being a guest on the Ed Sullivan Show. Does anyone know the exact date? The year probably coincided with his hits "Cherry Pink" or "Patricia" hitting #1 in 1955 and 1958, respectively. Thanks!

I was sorting through my collection and noticed Command did more than one "special" release LPs. There may be a name for this pervasive practice, but these are the specially numbered LPs "prepared expressly" for this or that company. It seems most prominent record labels did this...culling cuts from their catalogs, slapping together some generic artwork (sometimes laying out the product line of the company the album was made for) and running a bunch for distribution by the company. It made a great promotional device for the company AND for the label ("now that you've heard one cut from each of these artists, you can go out and buy the entire albums..."). I sort of enjoy these more than the self-promotional albums for the label itself because of the additional product advertisements. My question is: what Command special LPs are you familiar with and which cuts seem to be used again and again? I've got three in my collection now: CPS-1 SD/ OL-4 SD "Command Pops Special" prepared expressly for Olympic Radio & Television Division, Long Island City, NY. Total Time 32:06. This one is interesting in that the CPS-1 number is what is on the label and OL-4 is on the cover. My theory is that Olympic went for the cut rate special here...using a generic special LP that slipped into a custom cover (which was not a gatefold nor did it list the cuts). I bet that other special releases for the cheap companies were also CPS-1. Cheek to Cheek Beguine Tampico Forty-Second Street Vieni, Vieni I Want to Be Happy Johnny One Note Moon River Temptation While We're Young Love for Sale Tra Veglia E Sonna On the Street Where You Live WH-1 SD "Westinghouse Presents The Best of Command Records". Total Time: 37:07. This one had the standard Command label, but the label information was mostly consistant with the album cover, although it said "The Best in Command." Go figure. So this issue was probably unique to Westinghouse? Cheek to Cheek If I Loved You Love for Sale Nina Let's Fall in Love Big Ben Bossa I'm Over Here Tonight Walking to Winnetka Moments to Remember Cumana The Cocoanut Wireless MD-5 SD "Magnovox Presents Command Records". Total Time: 32:35. Here even the label was custom...a plain white label without the Command logo.

It was written: >[The Monkees theme]It's available on Estas Si Viven (PGD/Polygram Latino 31462-2). >Fantastic CD--includes killer covers of "Fly Me to the Moon" and "The Eyes of Texas >Are Upon You." I can second that! A couple of weekends ago, I just got a load of vinyl which I will be summarizing the highlights for the list soon. It included the aforementioned Prado LP. Before any talk is started, this acquisition was not achieved by elbowing Jessica away from any thrift stores. Furthermore, YES, there were a number of Cugat LP's and YES there was an LP sampler with...Edmundo Ros! Since I wasn't fussing about either of them, I guess it isn't poetic justice. Let's call it prose justice. The LP in question also features the fabulous Prado "Unh!" and "O Ganso", which I have also acquired in perhaps it's original form on the "Gentle Rain" soundtrack. For those who read my post of last("Lest we Fugat..."), two of the tracks from the LP made it to the sampler "Bravos Del Ritmo", which you could buy before or after Prado and still be a happy chappy or groovin' wooman. For those of us who don't speak Spanish, Estas Si Viven translates as "The Living End" and the cover features a waist high picture of the North end of two Southbound women.

Hi, Brian, I wrote a really long letter and then the computer crashed. Scheisse! It was all about Heintje and Heino and instrumental Volksmusik in the alp-countries. Damn software! I don't know if I can redo it all. I'll try... Heintje, who is actually Dutch, was a child star with his big hit "Mama" and nobody really nobody cares about his music, there is no devided opinion about it. It's all very unfunky. Whereas Heino has some weird qualities that make him at least being "camp" in my opinion. Because of his weird look - as an albino he wears sunglasses - as well because of the fact that he seems to have some humor despite his nationalistic appearance in general. When the punks in the 80s made him their Nr.1 enemy and fun of him by wearing blond wigs and sunglasses, he appeared in a TV-show in a punk outfit. His music however is neither Schlager nor German "country", it's Volksmusik or "volkst=FCmliche Musik" as they put it today to include non-traditional material. I didn't hear all of the hundreds or so records that he made (I don't like it), so I can't tell the good songs from the crab. I only own the only two records, where you can see him without his shades and you see his strange eyes popping out of his face. His lyrics, if not old folk songs, are all about men friendship, soldier dignitiy, adventure comradship, climbing mountains, sailing seas, "love" so deep you drown in it etc etc. and I don't know what... Forget him, if you can. If not you might end up listening to "Zillertaler Sch=FCrzenj=E4ger" or "Margot Hellwig Duo". There is however really interesting instrumental Volksmusik from countries like Austria, Tyrol, Switzerland and also Bavaria (where I live), and I should really know more about it. It is often played on dulcimers (Hackbrett, Zither) and can be really fast and serial, like Steve Reich or Terry Riley with alp-harmonies. It's really worth an expedition to find out more about its history and the people who made it. I listen to this kind of music when I drive through those landscapes to give them a proper soundtrack... But, you know, what I do right now is reading the books of Thor Heyerdahl and his southsea expeditions. That's why I'm in the Exotica mailing list, I guess. I finished "Con Tiki" and "Fatu Hiva", the island where he lived "back to nature" for more than a year and I just started "The Secrets of the Easter Islands". And you know what I found out to my greatest surprise: TIKI really lived! Yes! Heyerdahl claimes that the myths of the natives of Polynesia all identically tell the story of their primal god, the forefather of all forefathers, Tiki, who came in an ocean-raft from "The East", which is the direction of South America. In Peru there was a god king, who appears in the old tales of the Indians, called Con-Tici-Viracocha, or just Tici, Ticci or Tiki, his official title, when he ruled Tiahuanaco, who left the country one day to the open sea and never came back. He apparentely had red hair, bright skin and a beard. When the second Spanish ship reached Fatu Hiva of the Marquesan islands in 1595 the sailors described some of the natives as white skinned, red-haired and bearded. Thor Heyerdahl has an endless list of proofs that the polynesian islands were settled from South america, such as the plants, the animals and artworks, that you can find in both regions, so there is no doubt about that. Question is: where did Tiki and his tribe come from in the first place, as they were not Peruvian natives and don't seem to fit into the Southamerican folkscheme. Legend is they came from a far away country from the north. Where they Vikings? Heyerdahl never says that, at least not in the books that I have read so far. Oh, the letter is going to become too long.

Maybe they all "did" South America and then left for a greater paradise ;) Ehh well... A paradise until the europeans came along.

It's in the Hotel Bayrischer Hof, Promenadenplatz. Check out the Atomic Cafe, to see what they're playing. Today they have Mouse On Mars, great Duo from Dusseldorf. Easy listening in a nice environment is played in the "Egon Bar", Seitzstrasse 12. A MUST. In the Hofbrauhaus you can drink beer by liters and dance on the table, while bavarian oompah music is played. when it's warm enough visit a beergarden, the one at the chinese tower (english garden) has live music sometimes. get a "prinz"-magazine to see whats going on or an "in", which you find lying out for free in many bars. Eat at the Waikiki, Tengstrasse/Georgenstrasse...or at Trader Vic's. Have brunch sunday morning at Weisses Brauhaus, Tal. Weisswurst, sweet mustard and live oompah! See the "showscan"-filmtheatre at the Bavaria-filmstudios, if you haven't had that.

It's in the Kollosseumstrasse, Munich, Bavaria. There is also a steady fleamarket in a hall in the Kunstpark Ost, near Ostbahnhof, where you find interesting second hand records.

That indicates that Tiki and his people came from somewhere else and stayed in Peru only for a while. On the other hand it is very difficult to find 100% polynesians today. Heyerdahl had already difficulties to find them 50 years ago. Many many died from diseases brought by the westeners, many mixed. I'm not an expert in zoology or botany or genealogy, but I'm an artist and I can only say: the similarities you find in sculptures are striking!
