Off the top of my head I'm going to vote for: "Music from Mathematics" which came out in 1962 and featured the quasi-musical tootlings and warblings of a giant IBM 700 series mainframe, all programmed on punched cards by men in white coats. I wonder who, in 62, saw that album in the stores and thought, "I must buy it and take it home and play it every day"??? It's great though - from the gee-whiz concept down to the cover (period early 60s graphics) to the "music" itself, some of which sounds like a pipe organ ,some is white noise, some is straight outta 50s sci-fi, and so on .... yeah! "Criswell Predicts" which will be familiar to many of us since it got a reissue last year. TV psychic Criswell (as seen in most Ed Wood movies) recites 42 minutes of interesting preditcions. Sample: "I predict that LSD, marijuana and speed cann change your sex". Indeed. "Miniatures" put together in 1980 by Morgan Fisher (ex Mott the Hoople!) consisting of contributions by invited celebrities, artists & musicians, the brief being that each contribution must be less than one minute long. Some of this is seriously strange. Check it out. "Hybrid Kids" also by Morgan Fisher under a variety of unlikely assumed names. Oddball cover versions of contemporary pop tunes. Great and really odd version of "D'ya think I'm Sexy". And on another tack - computer data on record: I can remember that in the early 80s in the UK several home/hobbyist computer mags of the time would come complete with a flexidisc on the cover featuring programs for a contemporary home computer (ZX Specturm, BBC Micro etc). What fun one could have trying to get that to load. Also for a while the BBC used to transmit programs over the air late at night just before "closedown" (a forgotten concept whereby TV & radio would shut down for the night so that the nation could do the same) the idea being that computer bods should tape such programmes and hey, just load'em in to their machines later.

Any other >favorites out there? I think your life will be far less endurable without "Hi Fi Harp" by Robert Maxwell on Mercury. The best cuts are probably his versions of "Cumana" and an amazing "I've got rhythm" as well as two originals "Scoop" and "Hot tamale". But the record also has two of the coolest names of songs anywhere in exotica-land. "Injury Music for Football Games" and "Accidental Sip on an Oriental Rug". The last one is also a pretty cool tune. And you shouldn't confuse that record with "The Harp in Hi Fi" which is my second favourite Maxwell but not as good as HiFiHarp" But I think the most surprising Maxwell record is by a group called "The Fortune Tellers" on the record called "Song of the Nairobi Trio". It's his record but the harp playing is not so upfront. Very exotica, kind of fake Arabic stuff. The record sort of reminds me of what the Three Suns might have been like with a harp instead of an accordion. Oops, I just remembered what a big Three Suns fan Ross is... It's a great record. Very cool guitar parts especially on this one cut "Pagliacci Cha Cha".

I think my non-intentionally weirdest musical record is "The Best of Ernesto Hill Olvera (The Organ That Talks)." He plays funereal organ (no Hammond B-3 here) and uses that voice machine as you may have heard on Pete Drake records or "Rusty in Orchestraville." Strangest cut is "Pancho Lopez" set to the melody of "Davy Crockett" and slowed down to a snail's pace. Totally otherworldly! On the Carino/Dynalflex/Mexican RCA label. Finally, the following cracked my shit up. From The Onion (www.theonion.com): >> MOTHERSHIP ACCIDENTALLY DESCENDS ON HOOTIE CONCERT ROSEMONT, IL -- Confusion and awkwardness resulted Monday when the P-Funk Mothership, outer-space chariot of Dr. Funkenstein and the Star Child, accidentally descended upon a sold-out Hootie and the Blowfish concert at the Rosemont Horizon arena in suburban Chicago. "Thumpasaurus Peoples! You have summoned us through the Groove, and we have returned to refunkatize the planet!" said Dr. Funkenstein, the fur-bedecked, disco-booted Mothership Supreme Commander, moments before the popular South Carolina-based band was about to launch into the song "I Only Wanna Be With You." Members of Hootie and the Blowfish, whose 1995 release Cracked Rear View sold over 14 million copies, were caught off guard by the arrival of the Mothership. "The man who came out of the spaceship attempted to shoot me with something he called a 'Bop Gun,'" lead singer Darius Rucker told reporters. "Somehow I sensed it would be detrimental to my career as a singer." Added a visibly distressed Rucker: "He also seemed to imply that if I let my mind go free, something would happen to my bottom." Bandmate Dean Felber was equally disturbed by the appearance of the cosmic visitors. "Their mode of dress was, frankly, garish," Felber told reporters, "not at all like the muted, earth-tone flannels and oversized cable-knit sweaters appropriate for concert wear." Sources speculate that an inadvertent hip shake by Rucker, who briefly lost his balance stumbling over a stray mandolin, may have accidentally summoned the Mothership. It is also speculated that Rucker's powerful baritone voice may have exceeded Hootie and the Blowfish's normal safety standards for "bass," inadvertently summoning the intergalactic funk saucer. Said band member Mark Bryan,"We had just finished a really super rendition of 'Let Her Cry' that sounded exactly like on the CD, when out of nowhere these strange men came down shouting about getting up and doing the backstroke, or something." According to police, no serious damage was caused by the incident, but it did result in a 45-minute concert delay, causing many in attendance to go to bed later than they had wanted to. "I had a 9 a.m. meeting the next day with a very important client," said concertgoer/stockbroker James Norridge, 42, who did not go to sleep until well after midnight. "I really needed to be at the top of my game." Norridge's disappointment was typical of the 17,456 whites in attendance. "I did not wish to get 'funked up,'" said Roger Kleist, 33. "If I did, I would have attended a Dave Matthews Band concert."<< Carl "Ratso" Russo http://russo.onza.net/home.html # 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: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 00:15:01 +0800 (SGT) From: chuck Subject: (exotica) French weirdotica I too have "scoured the web" and only have one lead, DJBRECORD@compuserve.com, a used record store in France is attempting to locate the cd at other French record stores or distributors.

I wouldn't doubt these are the only great ones on the album anyway. I wonder if his single on MGM, Solfeggio, was put on an album? That I would get! The tune is also known as "Song of the Nairobi Trio." Robert Maxwell had at least a couple of albums on the later Command. I have Robert Maxwell Anytime (Command RS 913 SD). Robert Maxwell was also involved with a group calling itself "The Fortune Tellers" and recorded on Kapp. His arrangement of Pagliacci was pretty good, although I don't know what album it is on (another compilation LP). Maxwell is one of those mysterious musicians to me...in that I don't know enough about him to know what to look for. I actually like this, though. When going through records I'm like a kid eating Cracker Jacks...I will eventually find the prize.

If so, how? I really don't want to write on the cover. I've been thinking about maybe putting a song rating for each song on = the actual label of the record in pencil. It would display ok and come = off pretty well, probably. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm just finding it hard to remember what songs I liked of this or that = obscure album. Ya know?

If Cheryl plays it on Space Bob, she might know what it is, no? No. Haven't got a clue - I have the same CD as Gionni, and it has absolutely no information on it, aside from saying that the original vinyl has been transferred onto CD, so it's obviously not a new recording. Could definitely be Klaus Wunderlich - there's lots of cheesy organ on it. It's just soooo groovy...definitely one of my favourite compilations! ciao, cheryl # 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, 09 Dec 1998 23:28:35 -0500 From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) Marking Albums >I've been thinking about maybe putting a song rating for each song on the actual label of the record in pencil.

My best albums have a clear poly cover on them, so I throw a large index card in the bag with the album where I keep track of the cuts. I am interested in both rating the selections as well as making sure I don't play the same good ones over and over (don't want to miss other good cuts). I have, occasionally, done the light pencil bit...as long as its on the back cover and only on white...so I can erase it later if need be. Some of my most interesting used record albums were "evaluated" in pen...and usually were quite accurate (usually noted the tempo or style for dancing purposes). So, while I like to keep my albums pristine, I also ask...for who?
