I'm quite new to the exotica/lounge genre, digging it, wanting more, but not having clue what to be looking for. I'm hoping you all can make some suggestions as to what I might try and seek out... So far, I prefer (and I'm not even sure what terminology to use here) 50's/early 60's pop jazz that really swings, prefer instrumentals to vocals - kinda swingy and swanky beatnik sort of stuff. The kind of stuff that I remember from old Popeye cartoon episodes when they were in beatnik clubs, everybody was saying things like "square" and "daddy-o" and the background music was really swingin. I've also been wearing out the tracks "Something For Cat" and "Loose Caboose" from Mancini's Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack, so maybe that lets you in on what kind of a taste-space I'm in. I also like Euro (French and Italian) stuff same type/same era, as well as 60's Euro film music, and Latin Jazz/Bossa stuff. Bongos are good. I'm also liking Les Baxter, Xavier Cugat, JG Esquivel, well, I could go on. Suggestions from all comers welcome. Would love to get some more Bob Thompson stuff... Does anyone know what's available from Rubin Mitchell? I'm really grooving on his version of "Mas Que Nada" from the Ultra-Lounge series, but having a devil of a time finding out what else he did. This may seem like an odd request - but does anyone know where I could find out a complete listing of all the music used in the "Ren and Stimpy" cartoon series? I know they used a lot of Raymond Scott as well as classical, but there is also some great pop jazz stuff that I would like to know more about - who did it, what it is, that sort of thing. Hoping to graduate up to being a bit more sophisticated in my knowledge soon, Glad to be here, the swingin hillbilly kitten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

That being the case I'll recommend something I just recently got into -- music from the Japanimation cartoon 'Cowboy Bebop.' I would guess too that you would probably dig most stuff labeled as 'now sound' (regardless of the fact that this list can go on forever about what exactly now sound is). And you'll probably enjoy lots of the Easy Tempo compilations, Music for TV Dinners, and so on. Finally, check out Crippled Dick Hot Wax at http://www.crippled.com/ and Dusty Groove records at http://www.dustygroove.com. But nothing will help you as much as just lurking this list and gobbling up all of the musical references. These people are walking encyclopedias when it comes to music.

There are a few songs I have heard on TV that should be on that CD that weren't (there are also a couple on the CD that really shouldn't be). Any other CD's with that type of music? thanks Jeff In a message dated 01/31/02 12:33:26 PM, robc@parkerlepla.com writes: << Wow, Courtney, you just described the music I most enjoy.

If you don't have the second volume, you might want to check that out. It's groovier. I liked it more. Both of the recent Cinemaphonic compilations ("Electro Soul" and "Soul Punch") are in the same vein and recommended. - --Rod hitchmagazine.com # 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: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 21:12:39 -0500 From: "tiki kiliki" Subject: (exotica) Vinyl Valentine I'm needing some assistance from anyone willing to share ideas, images, and sites of reference.

Hi, Some Exotica news for Brits or those who may be visiting the UK in late March – John Zorn is performing The Gift at The Barbican on March 25. The Barbican’s own publicity pamphlet reads: John Zorn has come to define the musical promiscuity of downtown New York’s rock, jazz and improv scenes. An astonishingly gifted hard bop soloist, he has fronted a baffling range of projects over the years, from thrash metal quartets to Bacharach tributes; from Klezmer bands to classical chamber compositions based on games. Here he switches from the alto sax to piano and theremin for a world premiere of his new project ‘The Gift’, melding surf-rock, lounge jazz and worldbeat exotica. Zorn’s band features a host of New York luminaries including trumpeter Dave Douglas, guitarist Marc Ribot, keyboardist Jamie Saft, drummer Joey Baron and percussionist Roberto Rodriguez. Ticket prices range between 10 – 20 Pounds. You can book online at: www.barbican.org.uk ‘The Gift’ is a pretty good album, and I’m looking forward to hearing it performed live. Hm, now… what to wear?
