I just wanted to drop a line about Tiki Central, which is the Tiki club mentioned by KK; I thought I'd give you guys a rundown of what the club covers... Tiki Central is a large gathering of active Tiki enthusiasts, the members talk about Tiki bars, drinks, and Tiki in pop culture (including a recently discovered Tiki video game, which is probably why the club messages looked like a video game club to Ben). The Photos section has a ton pictures of Tiki bars, mug collections, Tikis around the world... and, well, everything tiki-like!=20 Tiki Central hosted club parties and bar crawls in LA and is San Francisco, members have covered the Tiki Fete in Palm Springs, The Book Of Tiki book signing at Oceanic Arts by author Sven Kirsten (also an active member of the club) Shag's Night of the Tiki gallery opening in LA, and a lot of other cool Tiki events all over the globe! One thing that ISN'T discussed there too much is Exotica music, which is why I read the postings here, and which is why I encourage all of you to check out the club and see if its something you'd be in to! Tiki Central can definitely use more Exotica experts and enthusiasts. Just like this mailing list, Tiki Central's heart is its members.=20 Thanks for your time,=20 Doug=20 - -----Original Message----- From: KK [mailto:Kahuna.K@hamburg.de] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 2:26 PM To: exotica@xmission.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Mai Kai Ben Waugh wrote: > Thank you kindly.

Song titles are great - Dance of the Headhunters, Witch Doctor's Nightmare,= and Voodoo Dance at Midnight being favorites. Yes, it sounds like you'd = want it to - wild drums, bird calls, etc. Martin Denny "A Taste of India" - Of course, this is Denny "in name only" = mostly bland tracks, but an interesting softer version of Hypnotique and a = cool version of Incense and Peppermints (This is India? I guess the = "incense" qualifies it!?.........).

REVIEW: This album was originally released as a production music LP, recorded in 1976 for Liuto Records, and impossible to find now. The (stunning!) original LP cover art is included in the booklet. The music was used as a soundtrack to various documentaries, the most important of which was "L'Automobile" dedicated to FIAT in 1977. It's a concept album, with Umiliani's jazz view on various city parts (or cities). Such concept albums are pretty rare in the world of library records! The line-up is that of a typical jazz band (piano, trumpets, trombones, flutes, sax, bass, drums) augmented with -- not so typical -- Hammond, Wurlitzer and... MOOG! The resulting sound is yet not quiet the same as on his "Ellington" tribute, since the Moog is only used on about 5 tracks, and even then mostly for a strings sound somewhere in the background. So don't expect any Moog extravaganza! The opening main theme paints a busy city by what I'd call typical popular Euro big band jazz from the seventies: a short and catchy melody line, a tight and strong rhythm section, little or no room for improvistation, and with a lot of breaks, tempo and instrumentation changes. This same title theme is repeated later on in a shorter, lighter, and less impressive version -- and a third time played on Hammond and Moog. The second track, "Friendly City", speaks for itself: a more gentle, Brazilian jazzy piece with a steady rhythm and melody. "Hectic City" is pushed along by frantic conga's and drum kit, and features nervous brass and flute bursts, and again a lot of breaks. It's party time in "Uptown", a flourishy piece with a Mariachi band, and an irresistible rhythm. The very nervous and slightly funky "Viaducts" jazz leads us to "Siena Square", where another jazz marching band is awaiting, accompanied by. a Moog; an odd combo, but one that works. Moog again plus Hammond spice my fave track of the whole CD, "Urban Network", which is even more nervous than "Viaducts". What follows are 2 versions of "Power stations", with a repetitive melody line that sounds very much like a sine wave: fluently up and down and up and down. how appropriate! The use of Moog rhythm box of the first version create an cool, electrifying effect, and immediately bring Kraftwerk to mind, but the added Hammond results in a much thicker and mellower sound than Kraftwerk's. The second version is slower, without the rhythm box, but also sharper with the piano as rhythm instrument. Follows a very relaxed version of the "Friendly City", played on Moog, fluegelhorn and Hammond. And while the rest of the CD is very melodic, the last track (City Sounds) is much more experimental with its nervous, tense, rather abstract kind of jazz. Personnaly, I'm glad it's the only piece of its kind on this CD ;-) Recommended listening!

Fun, Esquivel-ish arrangements (but no zu-zu's). The Invitations: Hawaii Calls Nice. Very tight five man vocal group, incredible falsetto singing, very swingin' Vegas-style arrangements. Side 1 is with Russ Garcia and his orchestra, side 2 has Billy May and his orchestra. Francoise Hardy: Loving Her first LP in English. She covers Elvis (Loving You) , Carole King (Will You Love Me Tomorrow), The Kinks (Who'll Be The Next In Line), Phil Ochs (There But For Fortune) and Buddy Holly (That'll Be The Day) among others. Outstanding. The Johnny Mann Singers: This Guy's In Love With You - The Look Of Love The Johnny Mann Singers: We Can Fly! Up-Up and Away Arthur Lyman: Isle of Enchantment The first cut on both sides is unplayably warped, but what the hey, this record cost 25=A2 at a garage sale. Nice version of Moe Koffman's Swingin= ' Shepherd Blues. Sandler & Young: Honey Come Back "Swingin' and easy, that's their style. Easy they sing and easy they swing. . . through songs that are glamorous, songs that are outtasight, that started out as Rock, as Country, as Movie Themes and hits from Broadway Shows. But with a simple twist of tempo, Sandler & Young turn these songs into Specials. Very, very easy swinger Specials. Jim Webb's Honey Come Back takes on an ultra-sophisticated European sheen as Tony recites the opening spoken lines in French. In English, the words are lovely, but in French, they are absolutely stunning." He's right, I was stunned. My own favorite is Lennon/McCartney's Blackbird -- it seems so obvious now that that tune was meant to have a horn section. I also like their version of the theme from Midnight Cowboy -- it sound like they made up the lyrics as they sang them: "Midnight cowboy / Midnight cowboy / See the lonely / Midnight cowboy." Those Fantabulous Strings Play The Sonny & Cher Hits A so-so record, but the word "Fantabulous" in the name makes it... well, fantabulous. Isaac Hayes & Dionne Warwick: A Man and a Woman Double live LP. Dionne sings I Say A Little Prayer, Isaac sings By The Time I Get To Phoenix. At the same time. And it works. Fantabulous! Robert Goulet: Woman, Woman Goulet is a guilty pleasure of mine. Odd & amusing to hear him doing these 60's hits: Woman, Woman; This Guy's In Love With You; Sunny; Love Is Blue; The Unicorn; By The Time I Get To Phoenix; Do You Know The Way To San Jose; Honey (I Miss You); etc. Perez Prado: Big Hits By Prado Hurrah! Finally a copy in good condition and in Living Stereo. Now I can trash my scratched-to-hell, held-together-with-masking-tape copy. Pete Rugolo: The Music From Richard Diamond The New Classic Singers: self titled "We think that a truly great melody can stand alone, and so the New Classic Singers do not sing the words. They sing, instead, easy-flowing one syllable sounds that emphasize and enhance the melody's appeal. In print, some of these sounds might resemble the following: Ba-ba-ba-duh-ba. Da-dl-up. Bahh-dum. But no cold print can convey the warmth and subtleties the New Classic Singers bring to these sounds. There are a thousand ways each syllable combination can be interpreted - -- from the hard crispness of the Bup by-yup by-yup-by-yup of "Sukiyaki" to the soft Bahhhhhhh of "Bye Bye Blues." A great record. That's enough for now.

He was 71. The cause was cancer, said his son Lucas. Mr. Cooper was born in Philadelphia and graduated from Columbia Business School in 1954. He had worked as an agent for MCA and Famous Artists, where he represented performers like Shirley Bassey and Charles Mingus. After booking bands at an Upper East Side nightclub called the 80's and taping many shows, he decided to start a record label. He incorporated ROIR (an acronym for Reach Out International Records) in 1979 and put out its first release in 1981, by James Chance and the Contortions. The album was released on cassette only, which came to be the label's hallmark. Mr. Cooper quickly produced an extensive catalog of some of the most notable artists of the era, including Glenn Branca, Television, Suicide, the New York Dolls and the Skatalites. The label adopted the cassette format because many of its artists were already signed to exclusive contracts with other record labels; but cassettes, often of live recordings or other miscellany, did not violate their contracts, said Lucas Cooper, who has taken over the business. One of ROIR's most popular releases was the first, untitled album by the Bad Brains, an ultrafast punk band of Rastafarians from Washington whose only previous recorded output had been a two-song single. The album was released in 1982. The label has continued to release new material, eventually switching over to CD's and reissuing many of its classic tapes in that format. In addition to Lucas, of New York, Mr. Cooper is survived by another son, Nicholas, of Santa Fe, N.M., and a half-brother, Jerry Cooper of Florida. - ----------August 23, 2001 Betty Everett, of 'The Shoop Shoop Son,' Dies at 61 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ELOIT, Wis., Aug. 22 — Betty Everett, a singer whose recording of "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" made Billboard's Top 10 in 1964, was found dead on Sunday in her home here, family members said. She was 61. Ms. Everett is remembered primarily for her one huge hit, but she also recorded many other songs and was recognized as one of the top soul singers of her time. Born in Greenwood, Miss., on Nov. 23, 1939, she played the piano and sang in church beginning at age 9. She continued to sing in gospel choirs and in 1957 moved to Chicago, where she recorded songs for the C. J. Cobra and OneDerful labels. She signed a contract with VeeJay, a record label that was issuing hits by the Beatles at around the same time. Her release of "You're No Good" just missed the Top 50 in late 1963 and would later be recorded by Linda Lewis and Linda Ronstadt to become a hit song. Ms. Everett recorded "The Shoop Shoop Song" in the spring of 1964, and it became one of Billboard's Top 10. It was later recorded by Cher for the soundtrack of the 1990 movie "Mermaids" and more recently by Vonda Shepard for the Fox television show "Ally McBeal." # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2001 15:24:03 From: "Robert McKenna" Subject: (exotica) Sound effects CD of some exotic interest Found this on the b3ta.com website.

Going thru a bunch of crap in a local flea market. I found "Nelson Riddle: Music for Wives and Lovers" on the Solid State record label. Winchester Cathedral, Wives and Lovers, A Man and A Woman Spanish Eys, Music to Watch Girls by. Strangers in the Night. That's just side 2. Light and groovy instrumental LP, seasoned with a cheezy organ. And none of that annoying singing by that guy Riddle had hanging around...the one with the hat. This is what record hunting is all about. Also found but not listened to yet. "Bossa Nova goes Nashville" Harold Bradly his guitar and Orchestra. Country songs ala Bossa....humm..... "Swing and Sway au go-go with Sammy Kaye. I ALWAYS pick up go-go LP's.. Was this mentioned in Cool and Strange Mag? Jo Basile "My World"...the name rang a bell....now I remember I don't like this guy. Lets see what this one is like...... And finally found in stereo "Bellafonte Sings the Blues".

This is one of my favorite records. I really wish he'd chosen better songs. He should have taken a cue from Les and Larry Elgart, whose a go go records are stone classics. But the fact that he can make me love "The Hucklebuck" is a tribute to the groovin twistin au go go arrangements on this record.

Fun, Esquivel-ish arrangements (but no zu-zu's). There's a story about this record where Brian and Cheryl played this for Will and I and Will went home thinking "Maybe I already have this. I hope I do". And sure enough I do. And so do I now. But I have one with a different cover. Not the gatefold Phase four one.but the London records version with a Hawaiian girl caressing a tiki mask on the cover. I love the version of Hawaiian Eye. It makes the record worth it. >The Johnny Mann Singers: This Guy's In Love With You - The Look Of Love >The Johnny Mann Singers: We Can Fly! Up-Up and Away> Once upon a time someone on this list made some comment about this being really white and homogenized. I agree. That's why I like it. But I don't like it nearly as much as... >The New Classic Singers: self titled >Ba-ba-ba-duh-ba. Da-dl-up. Bahh-dum." A great record. I agree. A suprisingly good record actually. Nothing about it, on the surface, would lead you to believe it's any better than your average Johnny Mann or Enoch Light or Ray Charles Singers record. But it is. Way better. Closer to the Fifth Dimension or even (hushed respectful silence)... the Free Design. >Sandler & Young: Honey Come Back >"Swingin' and easy, that's their style. Easy they sing and easy they >swing. . . I love Sandler and Young. Their version of the Bacharach tune "Odds n Ends" is the best one I've ever heard They can get tiresome but when they hit it, they hit it. I've had three or four of their records. Supposedly there's one that's by far the best but I don't think I've found that one yet. > >Those Fantabulous Strings Play The Sonny & Cher Hits >A so-so record, but the word "Fantabulous" in the name makes it... well, >fantabulous. I also like the cover with the mannequin heads. (Right?) I've had other Fantabulous records. They tend to cover one artist for the whole record. And I agree. They ain't the Hollyridge or Manhattan Strings. Then again, if you don't like Strings records, you won't be able to tell that there are good ones and mediocre ones. >Robert Goulet: Woman, Woman >Goulet is a guilty pleasure of mine. Odd & amusing to hear him doing >these 60's hits: Woman, Woman; This Guy's In Love With You; Sunny; Love >Is Blue; The Unicorn; By The Time I Get To Phoenix; Do You Know The Way >To San Jose; Honey (I Miss You); etc. You're really hitting the (former) centre of my taste here. Goulet is the great enunciator. Sometimes he enunciates too much and it's a bit too kitschy. But sometimes he loosens up just a tiny bit. Almost imperceptible but it's there. And he almost sounds loose. Or his version of loose. Maybe those were the cuts he recorded when they woke him up from a deep sleep and just sang the tune from his bed before dropping off to sleep again. But when the most tightly wound singer in the world loosens up a tad, he almost achieves greatness.
