That's Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso and Augustus Pablo - three of the all time greats - in the space of one year. Short recap for the Pablo novice: instrumental melodica : This is Augustus Pablo (Heartbeat) & Original Rockers are both essential. Original Rockers vol.2 is also good. The rest like King David's Melody or East of the River Nile are more uneven balanced. Don't care for much of his later output (Rockers come East or Rising Sun), a bit too mellow, but that may be a matter of taste. "Zion Seals Dub" on Rising Sun is pure bliss for instance. Look out for "Java" on various reggea compilations, don't think it crops up on one of his regular releases. dub: King Tubby meets the Rockers Uptown (various labels) - essential!!! Best dub album ever made King Tubby meets the Rokcers Ina Firehouse - so so Ital Dub (Trojan) - good Africa Must Be Free by 1983 Dub - excellent Eastman Dub - so so compilations with A.Pablo productions: Augustus Pablo presents Rockers Story (RAS) - excellent. Struggle in Soweto must be my favorite Pablo tune Classic Rockers (Mango) - excellent. Paul Blackman's Earth Wind and Fire is magnificent Classic Rockers vol.2 (Rockers international) - even better than vol.1 IMO. Horace Andy's Rock to Sleep and the instrumental dub workout of Rockers Mood/Tubby's Mood are works of utter genius. Rockers International Showcase and Rockers International are comps with 80s productions. All good various Pablo productions Hugh Mundell - Blackman's Foundation (Shanachie) - excellent Hugh Mundell - Africa Must Be Free by 1983 - excellent. There is a CD on Greensleeves which has the vocal and dub version together on one CD Jacob Miller - Who Say Jah No Dread : the classic Augustus Pablo sessions 1974-75 (Greensleeves). Six vocals + dubs by late Inner Circle frontman. The six dub cuts are the same as the ones on King Tubby meets the Rockers Uptown. various v/a - Melodica Melodies. An old compilation on Trojan with early 70s stuff b y various other excellent melodica players likeJoe White and Glen Brown.

He was 46. >> He was suffering from a muscle disease. >> > >I hope it wasn't a bullet sticking in the heart muscle, as usual in Jamaica... > >- -Mo From the NY Times, May 20, 1999 Augusto Pablo, 46, Musician; Helped Shape Reggae's Sound By JON PARELES Augustus Pablo, a widely influential reggae producer, died on Tuesday at University Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. He was 46 and lived in the hills outside Kingston. The cause was myasthenia gravis, a nerve disorder, said his brother, Garth Swaby. Pablo, whose original name was Horace Swaby, was known for what he called the "Far East sound": haunting, minor-key tunes with sparse lines for melodica (a harmonica with a keyboard) floating above deep bass lines and echoing keyboards. He was an architect of dub reggae, music in which deep bass lines and dizzying echo effects envelop a few shards of melody. Born in Kingston in 1953, he became a Rastafarian while still a teen-ager; he also taught himself to play piano. Bob Marley brought him into the studio to play keyboards on early Wailers recordings, and he began working regularly as a session musician in the late 1960s. He joined the house band at Randy's Studio, a leading Kingston studio. A friend introduced him to the melodica, and he took it into the studio when he had his first recording sessions as a leader in 1969 with the producer Herman Chin-Loy. His first single, "Iggy Iggy," was credited to Augustus Pablo, a name Chin-Loy used for instrumentals. When Adams moved to the United States in 1971, he left the Pablo name to Swaby. With his next single, "East of the River Nile," Swaby as Augustus Pablo inaugurated the Far East sound, and he followed it with his first major Jamaican hit, "Java," in 1972. While making solo recordings, often reworkings of past and present hits, he was also in demand as a studio musician, and he worked for a dozen leading Jamaican producers in the early '70s. In 1972 he started running his own labels, including Hot Stuff, Rockers International, Yard and Message. Pablo produced recordings for singers, notably Junior Delgado, Jacob Miller and Hugh Mundell, and he released instrumentals under his own name. Those instrumentals are cornerstones of modern dub reggae, particularly those he recorded in the mid-70s, including the albums "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" (a 1976 album of Pablo instrumentals remixed by the engineer and producer King Tubby) and "East of the River Nile" from 1978. Pablo rarely toured; his milieu was the recording studio. He had hits in Jamaica as Junior Delgado's producer in the mid-80s, and he continued releasing his own instrumental recordings well into 90s, adding digital technology to his older style. In addition to his brother, he is survived by his companion, Karen Scott; a son, Addis; a daughter, Isis; a sister, Claudia Swaby McBean, and his mother, Buelah Swaby. # 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 May 1999 12:21:37 +0200 From: "Arjan Plug" Subject: (exotica) Ethio Jazz I don't think this series has been mentioned on the list before but they are definitely recommended for exotica-fans. Start with volume 3, which I think is best too. The stuff below (picked up from the web) should give you an impression Arjan <<<<>>>> VARIOUS Ethiopiques, Vol. 1 - Golden Years Of Modern Ethiopian Buda 82951-2 ..... CD - $15.98 17 tracks, 70 mins, highly recommended Wonderfully exotic and exciting music recorded between 1969 and 1975 that has rarely been heard in the West. The music is a mezmerizing blend of the old and the new and features some of Ethiopia's finest singers with intesely emotional vocal style and distinctively Ethiopian warble. They are accompanied by hard-charging bands with wailing horns, swirling keyboards, and stuttering rhythms. The fascinating 28 page booklet has notes in French and English about the music, the musicians and the political climate out of which they emerged. (FS) Ethiopiques, Vol. 2 Buda 82952 ..... CD - $15.98 Ethiopiques, Vol. 3 - Golden Years Of Modern Ethiopian Buda 82963 ..... CD - $15.98 Ethiopiques, Vol. 4 - Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumental Buda 82964-2 ..... CD - $15.98 Ethiopiques, Vol. 5 - Tigrigna Music Buda 82965 ..... CD - $15.98 The fifth volume in this remarkable series features music from Tigray and Eritrea recorded between 1970 & 1975. <<<<<>>>>> a few Sound Clips at: http://www.ethiopianmusic.com/Merchant/NewReleases.html <<<<>>>>>> Following the beautiful funk / rocksteady / Ethiopian folk fusions on the first compilation, AQ has stocked the full catalogue of the "Ethiopiques" series. Here's a shortened version of what Windy wrote in her Bay Guardian review of the albums. I recommend you pick up #3 and the stunning instrumental volume #4, then #1. Volume #2 is from the 1990s, not the 1970s as are the other three, and is good but very different. "From 1969 to 1975, spanning an astonishly short six years, a fascinating set of factors contributed to the golden age of modern Ethiopian music. Unless you're already a Mahmoud Ahmed fan or own the sadly out-of-print 'Ethiopian Groove' compilation, then this is some of the most amazingly beautiful music you've never ever heard. Ethiopia, unlike the rest of Africa, was never deeply colonized. Thus the institutional bands, like the Imperial Body Guard Orchestra and the Police Band, used conventional western instruments without regard for western song forms; the music sounds at once familiar and strange, a tantalizing combination. Alternately wistful and eerie arpeggios in pentatonic scales are warbled by the vocalists and horns. Rhythm guitar and jazz-like drums wreak havoc on a westerner's sense of time (once you think you're tapping toes along with the beat, you realize you've lost it.) And American sixties soul-type guitar follows its own melody above it all." V/A Ethiopiques 3 (CRC/Buda Musique) cd 17.98 Ethiopia was the site of some of the most beautiful yet sadly forgotten music in the 60's and 70's. This compilation takes some of the best tracks from the enterprising Amha Records. This label specialized in recording unusually catchy and groovy pop songs that are not dissimilar to late 60's Jamaican rocksteady fused with jazz signatures and Ethiopian folk, plus plenty of James Brown funk. What makes these recordings (and most from the "golden era" of Ethiopian music) especially strange is that they were all performed by the institutional military bands who played all of the Imperial marches. Includes tracks by the great Mahmoud Ahmed (different from those on his wonderful Ere Mela Mela disc), ...Those of you who loved the Ethiopian Groove compilation, or who couldn't get a copy (as it's now out of print), be thankful. # 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 May 99 16:21:15 PDT From: "Jill Mingo" Subject: Re: (exotica) free designing hippies - ---------- > > I was in Tower records at lunch time and spotted a 4 volume comp of thi= s > Orpheus/Association hippy harmony good feeling late 60's music called = Sunshine > Days. > Nothing to obscure on them but a lot of hit pseudo hippie harmony singl= es > compiled. > The cds were rather short and the price was $11.99 at Tower .

Keith said The major RING WEAR on the sleeve...looks...friggin' brilliant. No drugs here, kids, it just occured to me that if a designer today were to create that ghost-like image of outer ring of record, inner ring, and yes, even faint sign of hole (all can be seen on this baby), I would fall to my knee pads screaming GENIUS. How funny that all these years, I've treated that wear as a screen through which I tried to view the image better, never once incorporating the graphic reality of the rings into the total look of the artwork.

He was 70. The Liverpool-born Rossington was best-known for his string of more than 40 films, including the classic ``Lawrence of Arabia,'' ``A Hard Day's Night'' with the Beatles, the World War II epic ``The Longest Day'' and ``A Night to Remember'' about the Titanic disaster. His stage career included stints at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Laurence Olivier's pre-National Theatre company at Chichester, England, and in the Royal Shakespeare Company. His many TV credits included ``I Claudius.'' Rossington had been working up until November in the London West End stage hit ``Beauty and the Beast,'' but bowed out after a fall on stage. *James Blades LONDON (AP) -- James Blades, a symphonic percussionist whose most widely heard work was banging out ``V for victory'' for the BBC's wartime broadcasts, died May 19 at his home in Cheam. He was 97. Blades also recorded the sound of the gong that was featured in the opening credits of films by the J. Arthur Rank studios. His recording of the Morse code for ``V'' was played up to 150 times a day at the start of British Broadcasting Corp. broadcasts to occupied Europe. Blades began drumming with a circus, then in cinemas. In 1982, he joined the London Film Society Orchestra. During the war he began playing with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and later with the English Opera Group, the Aldeburgh Festival and the English Chamber Orchestra. He wrote ``Percussion Instruments and Their History,'' published in 1970, and two volumes of autobiography. *Owen Hart KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Owen Hart, the youngest member of a prominent Canadian wrestling family, died Sunday following a fall at an World Wrestling Federation event. He was 33. Hart plunged 50 feet into the ring at a Kansas City arena as he was being lowered by cable before a match.. Hart, who wrestled under the nickname ``Blue Blazer'' for the federation, was pronounced dead at a hospital. At 5-foot-10 and 227 pounds, Hart entered the WWF in 1989, the last of Stu Harts' seven sons to do so. During his 10-year career, he won several WWF titles, including four tag team champions, two intercontinental championships and a European championship. Hart had recently told a magazine that he was planning to leave wrestling when his contract was up.

I like the suggestion that the Teddy Bears and Fleetwoods were among the first soft pop groups and I don't see any reason to limit the genre to the '60s. The late '60s post hippie soft pop groups are for me a special genre of soft pop, influenced by folk, garage and/or psychedelic music but fo me this is not really a large jump from bands that preceded them. This whole discussion did start with Free Design/ Association type bands, but Free Design is really not that much different music then Bryand Holland's "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Poka Dot Bikini" or Gary Lewis and the Playboys or Leslie Gore/Girl Groups or the Teddy Bears. I can't imagine describing Patience & Pudence as anything but soft pop. For me, in the pop music world, or bubbling under the charts, we could limit the genre to the modern pop music, 1955 to present. This would exclude rythmn & blues, some doo wop, big band, and 1920-40s ballads. But like DJJimmyBee suggested, its difficult to describe it unless you hear it. There's a new compilation out called "Monster Ballds" its heavey metal ballads, its not soft pop even though its ballads. In January of 1955, on Mercury # 70529, The Crew Cuts softened up and poped up the doo wop ballad Earth Angel. This song had a different feel, much popier and less earthy then the Penguins version. Soft and bouncy as was their remake of Sh Boom, this is the earliest soft pop song I can imagine. Like Nat, I'd like to draw some parameters here, anyone for suggestions? This thread interests me alot.

It can be slightly, pretentious, but not dogmatic. It is influenced by the 6T's Folk Music period but not "pure" in an acoustic folkie sense. It might be called E-Z Folk. And it seems to be an exclusively 6T's category. The Soft Rockers of the 7T's don't fit.....Help elaborate > > _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I sort of wish I still had that record but only so that I could sell it and make a bundle. (Maybe enough to finance a copy of Skip Spence's "Oar". Dont know why but somehow I associate those two records with each other.) I kept trying to like "Discover" but I don't really like calypso or steel drums and I could never get into it, no matter how many times I read what a genius Van Dyke was. But now I discover this Nilsson record which is either called "Duit on mon Dei" or "Formerly God's Greatest Hits", depending on which cover you look at. And it's produced by Van Dyke and has that same steel drum sound as "Discover" but it's a way better record... for me. More modern. None of that fake Bing Crosby stuff that's all over "Discover". A modern-sounding eclectic record with cool tunes by Nilsson but with that extra bit of exotica that Van Dyke brings with him. Anybody else know or love this record? This is a real find. I would never have thought I'd even like a Nilsson record this much, even with "The Point".

This is one wild rollicking rough edged psychedelic journey that should please some listees a lot. One cut captures a dj talking in that wild late 60s fm radio style and raw primitive no bounds journies into the psychedelic corners of garage music. Hard psychedelic garage pop with allot more creativity then I imagined. Strange ideas about how to do the music, nothing much like Pink Floyd or Hendrix going on here, this is raw. The best Pebbles for the list I've heard yet. This cd is worth the price of admission. One listen is worth a 1000 words, to paraphrase that 1967 Look magazine picture. I added: I have had the vinyl version of this for about 15 years; it's a great one. Also, if you like DJ's (Charles is referring to Dave Diamond as he descends into "The Diamond Mine") that go on great flights of fancy, I recommend Pete "Mad Daddy" Myers, whose ravings can be found at http://www.earthstation1.com/Mad_Daddy_Meyers.html and also he recorded What is a Fisterris? as the Joker. I would love to know if there are anymore sound clips of this fellow! Also, Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson) can be sampled at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/7356/ghoul.html Is Horror Asparagus Stories by the Driving Stupid on the CD? It is listed on the LP but not on the record. Also, there was a bonus cut, uncredited, which I think is Timothy Leary.

I'm actually a Sarstedt fan, but this song has lines like "We had this fine old place in the country, where we grew melancholy on the lawn . . ." and then goes on for a verse or two before we hear this : "As I was walking lonesome through the garden, in someone's sick homosexual half-world". Or something. And then there's his old-time-movie concept album, and then there are the records by his brother.

And they want DJ's playin' it. Its called "Operation B.O.M.B.A." and the cover is done in the style of a 6T's spy-thriller movie. To share a couple of quoteson the contents: "multi-layered songs that are actually arranged, with the depth and panache of European films of the 60's", "cool, laconic, and licensed to kill." All radio and club DJs please contact me. Be SURE to include in your correspondence the following: Station Call Letters, Name of Program, Station Phone Number, Your on-air name, the hours your show airs, and the description your station's program guide gives your show.

From such early classics as "Music Out of the Moon", "Voice of the Xtabay" and "Ritual of the Savage" to his numerous commercial pop records and '60s soundtracks, it's a wide-ranging look at one of exotica's leading lights. All of the famous and much-discussed Baxter albums are represented, including "Space Escapade", "The Passions", "Jungle Jazz", "Skins!" and many more, alongside his later work for Reprise, Alshire and American-International. Plus, we'll hear a very rare 1962 interview with the B-Man in which he discusses the popularity of "Quiet Village" and his latest (in 1962) exotic album, "The Primitive and the Passionate"!
