Though this appears to be more of a declaration than a question, I think I'll answer anyway (and start out, of course, by asking a question of my own). What, oh what, causes you to think that these three instruments are any more exotic than a guitar? Sure, you might be thinking that use of these "exotic" instruments is limited to Denny, Lyman, and Ravel--but don't forget John Tesh, Victor Feldman, and Kenny G. An instrument by itself does not connote a musical genre (with the possible exception of the koto and the ukulele), so if by "exotic" you mean rare, then the answer would be very, very long. Of course, you may mean that the *combination* of these three instruments is exotic--again, I beg to differ. There must be hundreds of lousy jazz bands that use these. Organ, electric guitar, and accordion is a far more exotic combo to my ears. :-) Your list of interviewees is also quite puzzling. What does it have to do with exotica?

I just picked it up last night ($24.95 cover price), so I haven't read it, but the sheer wealth of information here is incredible. Five-hundred pages are devoted to individual artist profiles and discographies, followed by reviews of compilation albums, reviews of lounge movies, listings of lounge books/zines, listings of lounge radio stations and tons more. Best of all -- as with every other MusicHound book (the new "Soundtracks" book is also worth a pick-up) -- it comes with a free CD. In this case, it's (naturally) an Ultra-Lounge sampler, comprised of 24 tracks from the last six volumes. This book promises to be one of those rare read-every-word reference works. I'd also recommend getting Dylan Jones' "Ultra-Lounge: The Lexicon of Easy Listening." Supposedly, it's been discontinued because of copyright infringments, but I've seen it at Barnes & Noble stores across the U.S. for more than a year now. Lastly, a friend of mine from journalism school co-wrote a lounge book with a work colleague that is due out this fall.

There is no substitute for live performance. I have come to regard recorded performances with a completely different set of expectations much in the one would think of sculpture compared to dance. Apart from their inability to accurately reproduce the live experience though, recordings can do things that live performances cannot. The example that springs to mind is Les Paul or Chet Atkins, two artists who painted the magnetic canvas with recording tricks. I cannot imagine how these would be aproximated in a live setting. Most recent live performance for me: Bomboras at the Agenda in San Jose. Wild Ass surf from the ugliest bunch LA punks what ya ever did see. This is a good example for this discussion - I don't much care for the recorded stuff I've heard of them. I don't dislike it... I could take it or leave it. But put me in the same room, pour some doctored-up gin down my throat, light the Farfisa organ on fire with some Ronsonal lighter fluid, and I'm gonna respond!

I find this interesting, although I have a Sonny James record ("Running Bear" on Capitol in the 70's) which I don't recall hearing a ukelele on. I will listen again. The same may go for the banjo, which has it's roots in Africa (Take one turtle shell, hollowed...) as well as the accordion, which I would rather associate with Zydeco, even though it found it's way to New Orleans via German Immigrants ("Fraulein von Spain, ich liebe dich!")

I first had the idea for a COMPACT DISK VINYLIZER (c)/TM in 1991 and published a fake ad (since it's about fake sounds) for it in a satirical monthly called Klaxon Cintrik, vol. 1 no. 1 (Antwerp, Belgium, July 1996). Xeroxes on demand...

I think everyone will have to flip through it, if not purchase it. My quick take is that there's lots of info but that they had to broaden the definitions a bit in order to get the page count up. For instance, there are entries for Erasure, Joe Jackson, Marianne Faithfull, Jonathan Richman, Carly Simon, Kathie Lee Gifford, etc. While I was there I picked up a few other books: Disco Duck and Other Adventures in Novelty Music: The true stories behind the greatest novelty hits of all time, by Ace Collins (1998;269 pages;Berkley Boulevard;$12.00) The Exotic in Western Music, ed. by Jonathan Bellman (1998;Northeastern University;$25) "The contributors examine the compositional use of exotic styles and traditions in the works of artists as diverse as Mozart and George Harrison." Brian Eno: His music and the vertical color of sound, by Eric Tamm (1995;De Capo;$14.95) Voices In Bali: Energies and perceptions in vocal music and dance theater, by Edward Herbst (1997; Wesleyan University press;$19.95; with 17 cut CD) My exotica of choice is Balinese/Javanese -- gimme gambelan! This book goes into the 'place', 'time' and 'context' of Balinese theatrical presentation. - -Lou # 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, 24 Jun 1998 14:38:04 +0000 From: Darrell Brogdon Subject: (exotica) And Still More Books It's not musical but if you're on this list you might also enjoy "Mondo Macabro : Weird & Wonderful Cinema Around the World" by Pete Tombs.

Fabulous Satellite Lounge, VelvetElivis,Martini @ Chianti and the Orchid Lounge just to name a few. At the Orchid Lounge, Thursdays it's Ultra Lounge Night...."...win Ultra Lounge CD's and other cool stuff..." But check this out...every Sun. night the Necro Tonz play here. I never heard of 'em, you? The reason that I bring them up is because they are a Death Lounge act from Vegas. Death Lounge? What is that? I gotta hear this right now! Have you ever heard of Death Lounge? It sounds too cool! We went to a place called Benjy's. It was smooth. A kind of mellow lounge that played a mix of 50's cha-cha,40's swing and 90's ambient house. It was cool until it got a little crowded and the cigars strarted to light up. I couldn't breathe. I want to be in a Death Lounge band(whatever that is)!

One of my favorite topics. Can you believe the amount of promotion that has gone on - linking Ultra Lounge with AMC for a sweepstakes where the winner gets the entire UL catalogue and a date with some lounge has-been in Palm Springs, plus a vintage restored car! And then there's TVLand jumping in as well with that Rat Pack screening and the promotion of that. Quite amazing... they can continue to pump new life by continuing to link it to current societal events (as in the redescoveryof the rat pack film) or by finding these new promotional avenues (linking up with Nik at Nite and TVLand).... What is their connection with AMC and TVLand? Does anyone know? They've managed to have amazing staying power for a company that has basically been promoting the same subject now for over 2 years. - - Michele # 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, 24 Jun 1998 17:15:41 EDT From: Subject: Re: (exotica) The rich rich record industry In a message dated 98-06-19 10:51:18 EDT, you write: << I am afraid that the record companies will quit releasing exotica because its not selling.

It stars Uma Thurman as Ema Peel but I don't know who the male lead is. Saw the previews at the movies last week. EVen if the plot bombs, it should be a visual sight to behold because the costumes for Uma look fabulous They got her in a leather cat suit in at least one scene and some killer retro 60s garb in another). I didn't hear the Avengers theme at all during the preview though. They can't possibly do an Avengers movie without "The Shake" can they? I wonder if there was a licensing problem with that? - - Michele # 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, 24 Jun 1998 16:53:51 -0500 From: "Indy Rutks" Subject: RE: (exotica) New Avengers Movie > Sorry if this has already been mentioned (lots of my recent email > got deleted > because a co-worker was harrassing me while I was trying to read > it), but did > you guys know that they are doing a movie on the old Avengers series?
