The tunes will be conducive to lounging, of course, and there will be cheesy nibbles for those who get there early enough. Entry and nibbles are free, and the barman makes a mean Saketini. When: Thursday, 27 September from 8pm onwards Where: Hat-On-Wall, 24-28 Hatton Wall (off Hatton Garden). 5 mins (really) from Farringdon Tube.

"Its the now sound - its whats happening!" The only way I can see to squeeze that into Alan's version of 'Now Sound' is that "You can even make your guitar sound like a sitar!" Alan's site is really beyond comment. Several lengthy essays and information on his film vinyl, I'd say go. I can see that keeping up essays at the length he's published so far would diminish his energy levels for ranting here. Which would be a shame. But I wouldn't want him to feel under pressure (Alan, think of your public!) # 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: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 09:11:55 -0400 From: "cheryl" Subject: Re: (exotica) Electro Lounge Vol. 2 There are four Les Baxter songs on it, actually.

Vol. 2 is good, but again, it will take a few listenings for it to begin to grow on me...

"Drag Race Sound Effects: A Study In High Fidelity Sound" (Audio Fidelity) Stereophonic (the label says, "Doctored For Super-Stereo Series", with the hypodermic syringe logo). Drag racing field recordings, captured at the 1964 Winternationals in Pomona, CA. With titles like "AA/FD Dragster Blows Blower Belt On Ready Line" you know you can't go wrong. Good, chunky sound. The Beach Boys - "Surfin' U.S.A." (Capitol) Obscure surf-exotica combo (more of that hard-to-distinguish list humor). Mono version, in pretty good shape except for a sneaky little warp which turns the first track on each side into an Evel Knievel at Caesar's Palace jump ramp. But "The Lonely Sea" plays fine, so I'm content. The Banana Splits - 7 inch ep (Hanna Barbera) "Doin' The Banana Split", "I Enjoy Being A Boy (In Love With You)", "The Beautiful Calliopa", "Let Me Remember You Smiling". Cross-promo shenanigans from the Saturday morning show with anonymous guys in plush animal costumes. This is one of their two Kellogg's cereal coupon mail-in exclusives. No picture sleeve, and side two is awfully crunchy sounding (snap, crackle & pop?), but for 15 cents, I can't kick. I like the side one songs better anyway. And incidently, I've gotten my copy of the book, "Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth" and it really is excellent. If you're at all interested in the genre, grab a copy. And to everyone on this list who was involved in the book, thanks and congratulations.

Dang, that EP really is some odd, great listening, and has helped me tremendously in achieving my late-night visions of massive, shifting clouds of psychedelic Fruit Loops. By the way, that other B.S. EP on Hanna-Barbera also contains a ringing piece of bubble-gum pop: "The Very First Kid on My Block", but it doesn't touch "I Enjoy Being a Boy". Which methinks might rate very highly amongst all you fans of big-production psychedelic pop. - -Dan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # 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: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 23:10:06 -0400 From: "Brian" Subject: Re: (exotica) Questions about Redbone Colleen wrote: > Naw, Doug, I just need to wise up...it was really funny, it's funnier > still that I fell for it!

A web search turned up almost nothing about it. I found it in the basement of a record store a few years ago. It certainly ain't as good as Bedazzled, and it has some awful, long overly symphonic pieces. But, if I remember correctly, it had a few good tracks - one of them called "Hello Sailor" - classic, uptempo 60's now-sound soundtrack stuff, no fuzz, no sitars, just some pleasant string's n rhythms. It's a keeper, but it ain't in the great league, at least not IMHO. jb _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # 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: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 14:20:42 -0400 From: "M.Ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) Car racing records "Sounds Of Sebring" is said to be one of the classics.

And she should be mentioned again. I thrifted Sonic Seasonings a while back and finally played it. Another masterpiece from W. Carlos! The music combines synthesizers and natural sounds. Wind blowing, thunderstorms and really beautiful synths. This is a 2 lp set with 4 titles Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter. Wendy then Walter really brings some depth to the music. The moog has a more natural softer edge sound here than Switched on Bach. I am most impressed this lp is from 1972, before Brian Eno did ambient music. Only the Mystic Moods "One Stormy Night" (1967) and Music for a Rainy Night-Lonely Harpsichord appear to predate this lp's concept of combining natural sounds ie thunderstorms, with music. This is an electronic music concept but with none of the simplicity of the later new age music. I see its now available on cd with bonus cuts. The copy I thrifted is popless, perfectly quiet. By the way I think the Mystic Moods are now considered the "father of New Age music". Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

VIVENDI PUTS A LOCK ON ITS MUSIC CDs Vivendi Universal's Universal Music Group, the world's biggest music company, says it is preparing to roll out "a number of releases" on CDs that contain technology preventing consumers from making digital copies. The move is the most aggressive to date among U.S. record labels to block copying onto computers and other devices. A company spokesman declined to say exactly what technology would be used, but said it "will not impede the consumer experience." Meanwhile, Sony Music Entertainment reported it has used copy protection on some promotional releases of its new Michael Jackson single that were sent to radio stations last month, but doesn't plan to use on commercial releases of the singer's new album. However, the company affirmed that its "goal is to implement copy protection on a broader basis to deter digital piracy." BMG Entertainment said it's conducting trials of copy-protection on promotional CDs in the U.S. and Warner Music is "looking closely at the technology" and doing market research on the concept. No comment was available from EMI. (Wall Street Journal 26 Sep 2001) http://interactive.wsj.com/archive/retrieve.cgi?id=SB1001427903167857240.djm (sub req'd) Copyright 2001.

I first found a still sealed stereo copy of "The Reporter" at a record meet in New Jersey and fell in love with his music. Next I sent away for "East Side West Side" and I constantly played the two LPs over and over. I was hooked. I already had the Shock/Panic/Nightmare bootleg cd, but after the two LPs I recently sent for and now own Lonelyville, The Sound of New York, Ping Pang Pong, Yellow Canary and Mr. Buddwing. Of them all, I love The Reporter, East Side West Side and Yellow Canary the most. I even find myself rewatching old Brady Bunch episodes just to listen to the music. Does anybody know if Baby Doll, The Hustler, Lilith or The Fugitive Kind are any good? Inquiring minds want to know.

Inquiring minds want to know. Baby Doll is definitely worth it. And I can't believe The Hustler wouldn't be great. But you didn't mention his Esquire records. Like Sound Tour: France and Sound Tour: Italy, the two I have. (Unless that's what you mean by "Sound of New York) I assume there's more. I quite like them. (I also love the packaging). The music sort of reminds me of Ping Pang Pong. It's like lounge heavily influenced by crime jazz. And of course the original tunes are much more crime jazzy than the covers. But I agree, Kenyon Hopkins is a hero. And I was completely unaware of him before I joined this list years ago.
