I've one that would do the trick - it's a French 3 CD set I got from Jack Diamond a couple of years ago - he may still have a few around. It's Pierre Schaeffer, the "father of musique conrete" and his collaborator, Pierre Henry. Three CD's and a booklet covering a span of thirty years of work. Be warned, this is the hard stuff. No bubbly, cartoony fun here - this is the dark side. I can't get thru one CD without turning it off. I see Carl just mentioned Tod Dockstader.

This is for Clayton Black. A reward for his perfect statement there. Maybe you won't appreciate it out of context. But these are the liner notes from a pretty mediocre "now sound" record by Charlie Byrd called "Aquarius". "Hey, you holding this new Charlie Byrd album. I'm talking to you. Whay are you buying this record? Do you think you know what kind of music you'll get when you play this LP for the first time? Does Charlie Byrd make your kind of music? Or is this a purchasing gambit, with you buying the name of the hit song? Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in from the rocker-socker Broadway production of Hair, under the assumption that with the combination of this star-making song and the proven musicianship of Charlie Byrd you can't possibly lose? It is a reasonable supposition. Like me, are you tired of hearing Halloween noises when the windmills of your mind fill with weird non-music careening over the airwaves on radio, over the box with the big eye (and tin ear), on and off Broadway, and even now on the way to invading Okefenokee Swamp (Nashville Country)? Do you still crave "real" music played by deft, trained and flexible fingers of live musicians who play sounds dictated by their inner ear rather than the inner tubes and channels of an electronics specialist? Then you are right on both aforementioned counts, and now, relax. We are ready when you are, C.B. You can make music for us and make the sun shine in (in stereo) through my revolving musical windowbox anytime, Charlie Byrd! We need the likes of you to keep us tuned in to the still lyrical, still melodic and highly inventive instrumental complexities of today's sounds and scenes. YOur mixture of jazz, classical, bossa nova and contemporary is more than enough to placate your followers. This album of Right-Now songs will probably convert a whole new coterie of jaded listeners into Byrd-watchers, and it will return some of the older folks to the fold." All I can say to that last statement is a huge "NOT!!!" I guess you'd have to hear the record to understand the uh... "irony" involved in these liner notes. He does an okay version of "Time of the Season", I'll give him that. But it doesn't matter that he's a good musician or that he has Bobby Rosengarden AND Ed Shaughnessy AND Bernard Purdie all playing drums. Or that he has Vinnie Bell on electric guitar. The arrangements by the great Teo Macero basically suck. And I can only assume that they suck because of some limitations in Charlie's approach to everything. He has this strangely busy style of guitar playing and it can't just be superimposed on everything. But that's what he does. And the arrangements seem incredibly busy and messy and you just want to scream "fire that friggin guitar player and maybe we'll have something here!" thanks clayton AZ # 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, 23 Dec 2001 15:11:31 +0100 From: "Marco \"Kallie\" Kalnenek" Subject: (exotica) my xmas comp Inspired by the wonderful comp Vern Stolz sent me last year, I decided to make a christmas comp myself this year.

Okay. I suspect we're just talking to each other at this point but I'm starting to understand your point of view. You're equating "groovy" with upbeat, happy music. And while I don't think that groovy implies upbeat and happy, a lot of the music that I would label "groovy" is also upbeat and maybe even happy. And it's funny you're focussing on that aspect of it because most of the time, I listen to music that could be called "sad" and I've often dismissed music for being too happy, upbeat, celebratory. That's one of the reason I dismiss ska, polka, even traditional (or "hot") jazz. Same with all that Cuban jazz that's been "rediscovered" in the last few years. And yet, the one notable exception to my anti-happy taste, is the Now Sound, go-go and groovy soundtracky stuff that we're talking about here. I've often wondered what the difference was between the happy music I hate and the happy music I like. I guess the simple answer is that I like that quality which makes me identify something as "groovy". That quality somehow supercedes the upbeat happy thing that usually turns me off. Not all upbeat, happy music is "groovy". But when it is groovy, I like it. I don't think I can define "groovy" but I'm sure that there's a nostalgic quality to it. It's groovy if it reminds me of a certain sound that was fairly prevalent in the last sixties. I know that I have a connection to music of that period. I don't know if it's MORE than nostalgia. So what have we established? I think you equate all upbeat, happy, high-spirited music with "groovy" whereas I think that only a very small sliver of upbeat music qualifies as groovy. I agree with you that upbeat music is tiresome. But I make an exception for groovy upbeat music. I do have some theories for why I make that exception. Besides nostalgia. One is that a lot of groovy music is only slightly upbeat. IF I still danced, I could dance to groovy music more easily than let's say, ska. I can snap my fingers or tap my feet to Quincy Jones' version of "Jive Samba" whereas with ska or polka, I'd just have to jump around and hope I hit the beat a few times just on account of the law of averages. I think a lot of groovy music operates at a tempo which is "natural" for me. I also think it often has a jazzy feel without the annoying aspects of jazz. If I just think about Mel Torme's "Coming Home Baby" record, I start to bob my head and dance ever so slightly in my chair. Groovy baby. (Shagadelic!)

Next week's upload will be part two, the ever rarer promos send to potential clients - leave room on your CD-R if you are making two-fers, you won't want to miss these! bye for now - ford # 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: Mon, 24 Dec 2001 10:24:51 -0500 From: "Carl Howard" Subject: Re: (exotica) upload of the week - part one I just downloaded and put this on, and already it's obvious that it's gonna box my ears...

This album was finally reissued on CD a few years ago and I snapped it up. We played it for our two year old last year as lullaby music when he went to bed. Now, a year later, we have been unable to find any other music to play that he will accept to listen. Riley, now three, still loves to listen to "Perry Como!" It isn't so bad, though it did cause some confusion a few months back when I tried to trick him into listen to "Perry Coma" on the Don Tiki album. So, in thirty or so years except another message like this one from my son Riley... :-) Merry Christmas everyone. - -Kevin "Kevdo" Crossman - -- *********************************************************** * Kevin Crossman kevin@kevdo.com * * http://www.kevdo.com - The Narrow Interest Portal * * Lip Balm Anonymous, Ultimate Mai Tai, Exotica Archive * *********************************************************** # 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: Mon, 24 Dec 2001 13:36:31 -0500 From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) Happy holidays to all you exoticats and exoti-kittens... ...and anyone else that doesn't cover!

I hit upon an idea, and compiled a playlist from Ford's tracklist, so if you have sufficient bandwidth, click on the link I have provided below, and you can have the whole album stream to your MP3 player. You'll still have to download the whole kaboodle individually to your HD if you want to keep copy for yourself, though. http://www.bccommunications.com/hellers.m3u Rock on with your bad selves...

I can't get thru one CD without turning it off. talking of the dark side, the Roger Roger (as Cecil Leuter) 'Pop Electronique' LP is pretty heavy, although with a constant rhythm section underneath. Morton Subotnick was mentioned too - his 'The Wild Bull' LP is great too, one side of which is very unlikely to sooth baby. # 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. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #1090 ******************************
