The reason is of course, that people who want to play the CD on some kind of computer, can't play them. That already led to a lot of complaints and it looks as if the companies are having a problem. In a way smaller labels seem to get an advantage from this, as they stil usually don't have protection, and automatically have a wider potential buyers group. And it's cooler. We had big discussions here on the list about this, and I remember myself supporting the artists, who, in my believe, have a right to be protected, and that is getting money for their work. However, it's the majors of course, who push this protection campaign, as they will gain unequally more benefits from it. But it's a much discussed problem, even among them, that much I know. It's still a pretty unanswered question for me, what's right or what's wrong. If anybody knows a good practical techno-juristical solution, that will give everybody what s/he deserves, I would be interested to hear about it.

No. You can just go from the usual analog output of your stereo into the audio (still analog) of your computer, then digitally record that signal with some audio program, extract the file, define the startpoints of those tracks and give them a number (btw, Byron, does your program do that perhaps automatically?), and then you save those tracks and burn them as usual, with a digital result, that may sound a little bit worse, but not much. So it's simply more work for a fairly equal result. - --Mo ............................ studio ® http://moritzR.de exotica@web.de ............................ # 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: Sat, 1 Dec 2001 22:44:07 -0000 From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Recent finds - a few Long time since I've posted so there's a few records that I've accumulated from Wickford and Hinckley (Essex and the Midlands) - both sleepy towns with biddies and a complete lack of under 25s! Here we go...... Chico Arnez - Non Stop Dance Party Fantastic 1974 easy LP with soul (Funky Chicken, Land of 1000 Dances, Love's Theme). This is a terrible but fantastic instru pop album with blaring horns and rocking drums (including a nice break). Top find (while I'm in a good mood) but not a classic. 6/10 Sid Phillips - Two Generations At last! A valuable (to some UK dealers) charity shop record that I have been searching for. Sid does big band on his side and Simon (his son) does funky easy listening on the other. Drums Away, Watermelon Man and Spinning Wheel are excellent. No cover but I'm pleased. 8/10 The Cross and the Switchblade OST A bizarre christian film soundtrack from Waco starring Pat Boone?!?. A fantastic track features psalms and religious rantings over pure funky drums. Good breaks on a couple of tracks and some mushy choir singing to bore you senseless. 8/10 for the good tracks. The Corrupt Ones OST Crap. Dusty Springfield and strings. A V O I D - Avoid. 3/10 Jeremy Steig - Portrait Cool double LP of Steig playing the flute over loads of jazz 1970 style - some 'songs' and some jazz meanderings. And a sample used by the Beasties - Flute Loop. Pretty cool but not something I'll ever really listen to (so why buy it? You know.) 6/10 Hammond Organ Dance Party - Big Jim H and His Men of Rhythm, etc etc. A shit LP with a reasonable tune on it - Blues for the Keyboard. Pleasant enough funky song but nothing special. This is a very common charity shop record and is a good indicator of how picked through the records you're looking at are. If it's there keep looking, and it often is. 5/10 Joy Division - Love Will Tear us Apart/Atmosphere 12" A recent reissue. Supposed to be good. Joy Division fans? It's OK I suppose. ?/10 Moussorgsky/Ravel - a classical record on RCA Victor Living Stereo Own up. Who said that the classical releases on Living Stereo are valuable. Any more info? Thanks. The Very Best of the Gunter Kallmann Choir I thought I had it but no. Now I do have it - the I Monster sample. Daydreaming is the track. The rest is big soppy harmonies. I've never been into putting an LP on the turntable for the duration - just the one track. Impatience probably. So one good track and I ignored the rest. 6/10 Brian Fahey - Classics go Latin I can't bring myself to listen to this one but I know Fahey's other efforts are good - Sign of the Swinging Cymbal was the Alan Fluff Freeman intro music. Air on a G String can't make a good samba or bossa can it? Ray Davies & the Button Down Brass - What a Wonderful World Half way Between the funk and the completely boring. I can't decide but I like the easy/psychedelic Hurdy Gurdy Man. 6/10 Danny Hodgson - Hammond Goes Bossa I flicked through it and it is a hammond going bossa. Uninteresting. 3/10 Jack Hawkins - Everything is Beautiful Who is he? Tom Jones-esq. Great tunes including 30-60-90, In the Midnight Hour. Soul at a frantic pace with live singing? Is it a live album? Who cares? It had promise but didn't completely deliver. 5/10 Andrew Oldham Orchestra - The Rolling Stones Songbook Excellent sixties easy LP by the RS's manager. Wierd arrangements. The Last Time is the basis of The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony - Massive sampling there and a fantastic track. I paid far too much for this thinking it was the original but it is an 80s reissue. Record Collector's price guide says £50 for the original and £10 for the 80s issue. 7.5/10 Xavier Cugat - Cugat in Europe A great LP with interesting arrangements but it's not my cup of tea. 6/10 Chaquito - The Big Big Sound of Bland latin cash-in by John Gregory. Why can't I find his Spies and Dolls LP? This is middle of the road easy. 4/10 James Last - Voodoo Party A second copy of this great LP. Top cheesy easy funky tunes with almost every tune worth a play. Sly and the Family Stone cover versions by James Last - who'd have thought it. Cool and German. 8/10 # 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: Sat, 1 Dec 2001 22:53:43 -0000 From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Finds And it is my huge Peckham house warming next weekend (8th).

Tenth volume in this highly acclaimed series of Ethiopian music from the archives of this country's lone independent label, Ahma Records (1969-78). This volume focuses on "tezeta" style: ""Emptiness, melancholy, nostalgia; doom and gloom, morbid musings; heartache or homesickness: such is the stock in trade of the misery and mournful memories expressed by the song 'Tezeta' -- Ethiopia's majestic hymm to the blues. Etymologically, the word itself means memory, nostalgia, and several Ethiopian authors have used 'Tezeta' as the title for their memoirs." Featuring tracks from: Mahmoud Ahmed, Alèmayèhu Eshèté, Fréw Haylou, Tèsfa-Maryam Kidané, etc. From the years 1970-74. Some background about this series in general:"For many years the little we knew of Ethiopian music was pretty much limited to Mahmoud Ahmed's cult album Erè mèla mèla. It was the first Western breakthrough for the country's brassy, electric, urban pop: swinging and hypnotic, poignant yet funky. So unique, so different from anything else coming out of the African continent. This amazing, headspinning groove was celebrated the world over, and hailed as one of the finest releases of 1986. Precisely because Ethiopian music remains virtually unknown on our western shores, Buda Musique acquired exclusive rights to the Amha Records (1969-1975) and Kaifa Records (1973-1977) catalogs, two major repositories of the music of the golden age: around 150 singles and over a dozen albums, the highlights of which are being reissued in the éthiopiques collection. Éthiopiques aims to present a panorama of this missing link in Africa's music, to become a reference point, both lively and informative, a sort of audio emissary for Ethiopia's musical heritage. The collection will focus on the golden age of modern Ethiopian music but will also present other archival material as well as recent recordings, both modern and traditional, urban and 'ethnic'." -- Francis Falceto $15.00 CRIPPLED DICK HOT WAX (GERMANY): VA: Les Chansons Des Perverts CD (CDHW 076 CD). "Les Chansons Des Perverts is by way of taking stock, a reflection -- albeit only in part -- of the workings of life inside Crippled Dick Hot Wax. At the present, for this album brings together all sorts of styles from the past thirty years, styles which, for all that, I believe get along very well together. My hobby, thrift-store shopping, means that vinyl of every sort and from every age and era has been collecting up, with my friend Tommy Grenas -- alongside his activities as a musician -- a thrift-store junkie as well, contributing in no small way to this compilation. To get swiftly to the heart of the matter: diverse Crippled and non-Crippled acts here meet up with old heroes. All in all, a blend of highly sought-after, rare or totally unknown numbers and in part new and exclusive tracks. A treat for headphone nerds, DJs and other head-cases whose thinking is light-years away from styles and pigeon-holes. In the end, though, what's on the agenda here is unadulterated entertainment, far removed from any political or moral message." Features 9 previously unreleased tracks plus a bunch of rare/obscure tracks issued on CD for the first time, some contemporary, some going back to the late 60s. Artists included are: Carl Wilson, Anubian Lights, Odyssey Orch., Seksu Roba, Higher Than God, Dodo, Mystic Mood Orchestra, Antena, Don Paulin, Toni Bruno, Monsieur Leroc, Hayner Boehm, The Ray Makers, Henry Buzz Glass, Station Rose. $14.50 # 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: Sun, 2 Dec 2001 10:34:22 -0500 From: "cheryl" Subject: (exotica) Playlist For Space Bop, December 2 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm Eastern time on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada, and on RealAudio (real time only, for now) at: http://www.ckut.ca As usual, all comments, questions, and feedback welcome.

Well, that's the only real retort available to this trend >> Agreed...I've made it a mission to purchase vinyl only and invested in free-standing CD-R recorder when and if I need to make a CD for myself or friends. Of course that might limit me, but I haven't been tempted to buy a CD since last June and its worked for me. I use a direct drive techniques turntable to transfer vinyl to CD which allows me reasonable control over when the track begins to record onto the CD, and I do an individual level check on each track before recording it by sampling bits and pieces of the track. I let it just graze the yellow warning light in the level indicator. Then I use the CD-Stomper program to create labels and inserts. A CD is a lot more interesting when you conceptualize it and produce it along with the art work yourself. I have four mixes now: "Slammin' Hammond", "The Now Sound", "E-Z Listening at the Disco", and "Soundbytes from the Space Age"....I've never been happier ::-() # 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: Sun, 2 Dec 2001 19:52:04 EST From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) @home and weekly upload update In a message dated 12/2/01 7:02:37 PM, jonny_yuma@hotmail.com writes: << Sucks for all those folks, I guess they are..........

Those are them!!!!!!!! The only ones missing from that list, which maybe they'll correct some day are "HR is a dirty guitar player", "Color him Funky" and the one I'm really surprised they left out "Out of Sight". I couldn't really choose between them but if I absolutely had to pick just one, I'd probably go for the first one, even though "All Time" might be my favorite single LP of that group. But they're all great! I think it's so exciting that I can't even maintain that part of my attitude which would say "Oh damn, now I won't be special anymore that everyone will be able to hear him". Years ago I made an all-Howard tape for the legendarily hard-to-please ex-exotica member Miss Mingo-go. I was worried it wouldn't meet her sky-high threshold. But it did and she started asking me where she could find these records. THAT'S HOW GOOD THEY ARE! MAKES ME WANT TO DO A JACK DIAMOND IMITATION!!!! BUY THEM. THEY'RE THE REAL SHIT!! AZ But those are great two-fers. There's not a bad record there. I don't have a favorite but "All time" comes close. . # 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: Sun, 02 Dec 2001 23:16:00 -0500 From: azed@pathcom.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Howard Roberts question At 04:21 PM 12/2/01 -0800, basic hip wrote: > >I have three from that aren't listed below and I'm pretty sure AZ would >agree that these are among that string of great Capitol LPs: > >Out Of Sight >Color Him Funky >H.R. is a Dirty Guitar Player I guess I should read all the emails before sending off my replies. But yes, mr basically hip is right on the money as usual. Out of Sight is probably the most obviously groovy but that's partly because of the obviously groovy cover. But like I said in my previous email, all nine of these records are pretty consistent. And I'm pretty sure these are the only nine. I bought a few made after "Out of Sight" and they're pretty ponderous in a jazz fusion vein. Whereas these nine records just cook!! (Sorry I was channeling Jack Diamond again.) And it's not just Howard's amazing guitar playing which is both jazzy and rocking at the same time, a feat unachieved by any other jazz guitar player whose records I own. It's also the variety of organ players he has working with him, some of whom I've never heard (Burkley Kendricks), some of whom are vaguely familiar (Henry Cain), some of whom are actually familiar (Charles Kynard) and at least one of whom is familiar in another context, not as an organ player, namely Dave Grusin. Anyway, yeah he swings, he's the shit, he's the real deal, he's shagodelic. You're an idiot if you don't buy those CD's. (That was Jack again!)

Kind of sums up my thoughts at the time... but about disco! But I very much agree with Moritz that the new wave was about protest, exploration and bringing some life back into music. It explains why it was at this time that I became exposed to all sorts of things that sounded new and interesting, from Grandmaster Flash, Bunny Wailer, and the whole German New Wave scene. It had to have been among the most productive times in history for independent labels and music with a sense of humour. I almost think groups like Fun Boy 3 were maybe even making fun of disco...

Does anyone have any comments? 3 comps of music from Irwin Allen TV shows. One was definitely the Time Tunnel, I assume Lost in Space was another. Has anyone heard them? I've been trying to remember them. I remember the cheesy graphics from the beginning of Lost in Space but not the music. Also I saw the 'Music from the Sweeney' LP. Does anyone have this? I remember someone mentioning it, but no review. I have the main theme and end theme on one of the Funky Soundtrack LP's, so is it worth getting for the rest? Come on now.....
