The Comstock cover is bizarrely printed on rather interesting textured paper, I don't know if that reflects the original sleeve at all. Its very nice too. Almost exactly pin-pointing what I imagined 'space age exotica' to sound like. The Harry Stoneham LP is the one with him on a motorbike with some dodgy bint sat in from of him on the petrol tank. I'm afraid dodgy bint is the only phrase that does this picture justice. Its all very 1971. Great LP though. They also had another Stoneham LP 'Latin on the Lowrey', or something along those lines. I just didn't have the money, does anyone know if I should go back for this (at 7 pounds)? It does sound tempting.

This is from the Mencken list. It's one of my favourites, along with Exotica, of course. For a European guy like me who wants to learn a bit about America this man Mencken is a hell of a source... Ton "The radio, I take it, is quite satisfactory to the wowsers who now propose to make the movies safe for morons. That is to say, it is as devoid of ideas as a Kiwanis orator, and as bare of beauty as a city dump. For hour after hour its customers sit listening to bad music, worse speeches, and other entertainment so dreadful that it cannot be described... Music, if it be instrumental, is supplied mainly by gangs of union men sawing away dismally in the dining rooms of second-rate hotels; if it be vocal, it is performed by decayed fugitives from third-rate church choirs and fourth-rate opera companies. As for the speeches, they seem to issue, with few exceptions, from gentlemen trained as ballyhoo men at county fairs." H.L. Mencken Baltimore Evening Sun June 29, 1931 PS Gerard Jansen of "The Easy Alohas" was on the tele yesterday. Apparantly he studied with one of the Dutchmen who've just won the Nobel Prize for Physics. The real prize, not the Ig Nobel Prize...

Brain fog won't stop me here. Wasn't one of the creators of the "electronic stylings" music used on the Forbidden Planet soundtrack a female?... OK, IMDB says Bebe Barron and Louis Barron. Was there ever an OST made of this music? It's the only film music credit the IMBD lists for Bebe Barron. Which leads me to another movie recommend: Beat Girl, aka Wild for Kicks -- John Barry's first soundtrack, with songs by the John Barry Seven. The combo might even perform in the movie but the credits are too terse to say for sure. A wild teenage girl, mad for music and adrift in London's 1960 caves and coffee houses...and flirting with a career as a stripper. Fab, fab for the music, the melodramatic plot, the Bardot-like aura of the star Gillian Hill. Plus there's one eyepopping exotica-modern sex bomb dance number that will leave you panting. Racy for its time. Distributed by Kino International, so should be available in shops with good cult movie stashes.

They're "four swinging youngsters from Mexico City" and their first record for Capitol is called "Latin and Hip"... which is almost redundant, no? It's a vocal quartet with great harmonies and they add a Latin flavor to standards like "Tenderly" and "Summertime". The orchestra is conducted by the sometimes great Jack Marshall. They also have great matching suits.

True it's partly a >>TJB clone, but there's more going on here than that > >I don't get this "TJB" clone thing. The term is maybe thrown around a little too freely. For myself, I don't see it so much as a concrete musical designation as a lasso for stuff that the record companies (at the time) saw as a way to get a little slice of Alpert's action. Whether it was a tight copy or just something vaguely related, the TJB had opened up a window of opportunity that was there to exploit while the exploitin' was good. But on the whole, I would prefer to defer to Brad Bigelow on this subject. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # 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, 13 Oct 1999 19:00:56 -0400 From: "m.ace" Subject: (exotica) idiot boxed A few more teevee things...
