Imagine Liquid Liquid sampling Perez Prado, among others. It's primitive-sounding sampling, with a strong beat - most of the tracks are 4 or 5 minutes long, and they go all over the place - ranging from one with tons of sitars and tablas, to one with a very obvious Prado sample.

They were definetely french, and had commercial success also in Italy, where they were quite famous in the late seventies disco craze era. 3 ladies, the long blonde haired one fronting the trio had some previous fame in the sixties, both in France and in Italy, as she recorded under the name "Evy" some singles. Her best track was "L'abito non fa il beatnik", an uptempo r&b italian version of Spencer Davis Group's "Keep On Runnin'", sung with a potent and raw voice style a la Lulu. Can't remember "Bamalama" nor "Destruction", but "Black Is Black" (cover of the 6ts spanish combo "Los Bravos") was huge and well remebered still nowadays in the discos. Sorry no mo', Mo.

What's the cost of the equipment etc.? Basically, what you need is a PC with a sound card that can record and a CD-R deck. Most CD-R decks come bundled with software. My CD-R deck came with Toast (for the Mac). It even comes with software for extracting audio tracks from CD's. Use the sound card to record the vinyl, put it in the format that the mastering software wants and burn the CD (greatly simplified). I'm still learning this stuff myself. The difference over the cost of the PC (or Mac) is less than $400.

However, lasers apparently diminish in performance after time, and have more difficulty reading discs, which leads to skipping, or not reading entire discs at all. Depending on how much your machine is worth, you can either buy a new player, or pay to have the laser checked and/or replaced (usually way too expensive to consider, unless you have a machine worth upwards of $1000, and want to keep it). Skipping was the first sign that my laser was going - and it got really irritating!!! 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: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 13:18:00 -0500 From: Tom Karches Subject: Re: (exotica) I'm gonna DO it! -Reply SLarry3595@aol.com wrote: > > Making CDs at home; > You can always buy one of the Philips home CD makers.

As mentioned before, a disadvantage of the home CD makers is that they only work with the special serialized media. You can get the regular cd-r media that work with the computer cd-r drives much cheaper. I just bought 2 ten packs of sony cd-r media for $40 and got a $40 rebate. You do the math.

Needless to say it has become a very temperamental machine, sometimes downright infuriating. I'm such a cheap-ass, I'll probably won't get another one till' this one explodes or something.

Of the featured instrument, the Hohner Cembalet, the jacket notes say it "… is the most revolutionary electromechanical keyboard instrument of our time." It "… can duplicate the sounds of guitars, bass, harp, zither, harpsichord and other stringed instruments…". I bought the reissue of Electric Lucifer from that playlist guy and have enjoyed it much. I can't wait to get this home and onto the hi-fi. Track list is: Side 1: Introduction; Shadows; Popcorn; Coco Bouzouki; Pots and Pans; Little Pigs. Side 2: Clocks; A Little Concert; More Machines; The Hamburger Song; The Stubborn Bird. 2. Joe Longthorne, Roxon Records, Ltd, 1982. The bouquet of this cheese was so strong I could not resist. "Joe", featured on the cover with a big blond feathered & blowdried butt-cutt 'do, a silk shirt unbuttoned to the unspeakables, collar raised, gold chains, aspect festooned with a last-call smile… you get the picture, offers "vocal impressions of the world's great artists, from Frank Sinatra to David Bowie, and Barry Manilow to Johnny Mathis … and not being one to forget the Ladies, we have the added bonus of hearing … Miss Shirley Bassey, Miss Cleo Laine, and many, many more, delivered with a panache that only Joe can achieve. … His touching tributes to Elvis Presley and John Lennon leave us almost weeping and wondering at the enormous range of his talent." Wow. And it is signed, by Joe. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

(CDR recording) > > And yes you can copy CDR to CDR, I use a variety of methods... My favorite "Quick n dirty" method is to make a Minidisk master and trim up the tracks using the nifty edit function and then port it digitally to the The Marantz MD recorder. I use the version that records on the "data" type CDR's. The Consumer CD-R Decks can be fooled into using the cheaper disks, just put in one of the expensive disks and put the machine into record mode. Pull the tray out with your fingers NOT the eject button, and replace the "Music" cd with the "data" CD. There is NO difference between the two, except the expensive one has some I.D. Code on it to tell the machine that it is a music cd (read TAXED cd) For things like the Christmas compilation, I record each track to Hard drive and burn them on a CD-R drive after cleaning and ducking the audio for each track. If I am recording an entire vinyl disk to digital, I record it as a whole, letting it track through the entire side, and then divide the tracks at the beginning of each song, thereby preserving the pacing of the original vinyl record and the sound of the needle tracking through. CD-RW's have been problematic for me... They don't work in a lot of cd players, and I don't see much use for 'em when the Minidisk is such a robust editing format AND rewriteable. Minidisk uses some kind of compression scheme, but for the life of me, I can't hear the diference. Wow! a dual deck recorder would be cool! I am wondering if both sides record? Now THAT would be something, recording two disks at a time. What a timesaver!

Remember The Boys from Brazil? This guy looks like a beefed-up Heino. A Night with One Man and 100 Stars Sensational singer and impressionist Joe Longthorne will be taking Northampton by storm when he plays live atDerngate on Thursday 4 December. With his outstanding voice and unique talent for impersonation Joe is one of the UK's most dynamic entertainers, regularly winning standing ovations from his legions of fans who follow him up and down the country. For one night only audiences will be able to enjoy all their favourites under one roof from Julio Inglesias to Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey. With the support of a superb orchestra Joe does them all, bringing a hundred famous voices to one stage. Each concert that Joe does is different as he bases his impersonations from requests in the audience, his infamous impersonation of Shirley Bassey, entwining hands and all, has become a favourite amongst audiences and the star herself has said 'Joe does me better than I do myself' Joe had his first big break as a singer-impressionist when he appeared on the London Weekend series of Search for a Star in 1981. His success on the show led to appearances at The London Palladium and the following year he received the Variety Club of Great Britain's coveted award for the Most Promising Artist of the Year. Today, following numerous TV appearances and world-wide tours he is recognised as one of the most dynamic entertainers in British show business. Speaking about his forthcoming tour Joe Longthorne said: 'I can't wait to get back on the road. I love the thrill of live performances and get such a high from the audience reaction. When I look out and see them all on their feet shouting for more I can't think of anywhere in the world I would rather be. It is a fantastic feeling and one that I wouldn't swap for anything. I have had a great season over the summer in Blackpool and am looking forward to a brilliant tour. The future really does look good!'

This is an ongoing effort over here. cuts from the guglielmi are available in a compilation. The issue for me is that liner notes and cover art are expensive, and if i stick to one-off CDs burned and mixed "custom" or nearly so, the cost to the purchaser can be $10 for a full hour of listening, making incredible and rare music more widely available. I love the covers and they are part of what makes the original recordings valuable and part of the 'vinyl experience', but being able listen to the records or selected cuts is still primary for me.

Unfortunatly, mine is somewhat scratched. Re: I'm Gonna DO it! How will you decide which two-fer to make? Are you going to poll the list after you devise a short list of titles? I think that no matter what you decide on many on the list will opt out on buying it. I see my vote for a two-fer of the non-CD released Planet of the Apes series OSTs has been seconded. Anyone have them all? Anyone recommend which two would be best to put on a two-fer? They are so hard to find. I only have the Varese Sarbande one.
