If the reader is interested in either the Denny or Baxter double-sets you are advised to acquire them post-haste, as EMI has been folded into the Time-Warner conglomerate. Technically all Capitol-EMI product is currently without distribution, and music retailers are waiting for the other shoe to drop, whether existing stock simply needs to be re-barcoded or there will be a massive recall on everything. I doubt this will mean The Beatles and Garth Brooks will disappear from the shelves, but it's anyone's guess if obscure (and expensive) doubles such as the Denny and Baxter will survive the transition.

It has a classic cha-cha-cha version of "Light My Fire". Other covers on the album include "Hey, Jude" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". Just about every cut on this record is good. For the pure latin stuff "Latin Hits I Missed" is pretty good. What I have always enjoyed about Ros is the combination of a great band and questionable choices of material. The dreadful singing always provides some comic relief. I buy every Ros album I come across and usually find something enjoyable about every one.

His music ties together some of the ancient underlying strands of the world's music, resulting in a sonically sensuous weave. On this program we listen to his new Tzadik release, "Izutsu," and call him up in Tokyo to talk about his music. March 24, 2000 That elegant instrumental hero of classical music, the cello, is heard in unusual contexts: featured are performances by cellist-composers such as Fred Katz, Arthur Russell, Hank Roberts, Robert Een, Peter Lewy, and others, plus selections from a tribute to the late New York downtown cellist Tom Cora. March 17, 2000 Two very old Irish traditions are represented on this St. Patrick's Day edition of the show: the a cappella singing style known as "sean nos" is presented by the voice of Joe Heany, and Bat Burns, Irish raconteur, tells us about the Gaelic language and recounts some old Irish stories. March 10, 2000 That noble musical creature, the accordion, is featured. In contrast to common assumption, the accordion is an instrument, not a kind of music. Several horizon-expanding accordionists are heard: Mat Mathews, Bratko Bibic, Dom Frontiere, Vladimir Denissenkov, Guy Klucevsek, Will Holshouser, and more. March 3, 2000 George Duning's music brought charm and poignancy to such films as Picnic; Bell, Book, and Candle; Houseboat; Any Wednesday; The 3:10 to Yuma; and even Mr. Magoo's 1001 Arabian Nights. We hear from all those film scores on this program, which aired just a few days after Duning's death. February 25, 2000 During WNYC's fundraiser, a variety of music: Brazilian troubadour Xangai, Austrian composer Max Nagl, songwriters Michael Holt and Brian Dewan, unreleased music by the Raymond Scott Orchestrette, Charles Albertine & Larry Elgart's "Barefoot Ballerina," and more. February 18, 2000 Because he was an arranger for Frank Sinatra, you might expect that Gordon Jenkins' music would be pretty mainstream. In a way, it is-- and, in a way, it's really weird. This show features two of Jenkin's ambitious and peculiar musicals for records: "Seven Dreams" and "Manhattan Tower." # 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, 03 Apr 2000 17:18:01 GMT From: "james brouwer" Subject: Fwd: Re: (exotica) Re: New Finds >Thanks, Brian.

There have been many efforts by other manufacturers to capture the attention of the world’s DJ’s with new formats and fancy gimmicks, but the truth still remains: Vinyl is the only real format for mixing DJ’s With this in mind our best technicians have been working all the hours available in order to produce a machine with the specification that meets the demands of professional DJ’s and recording studios. The VRX-2000 is that machine. DJ’s can record their own music to vinyl. The process of getting new music onto vinyl for DJ use has now been made easier. Various sounds and loops can be compiled to vinyl for DJ’s to use in their sets. This will reduce the amount of records needed in DJ battle situations. It will also allow DJ’s to have their own personalized mixing tools made up of specific sounds unique to the user. The newest music on MP3, tape or CD can now be utilized for DJ performance. Our new specially developed vinyl has been designed especially to withstand heavy DJ use, including scratching, making this new format much better than standard acetates or Dub-plates for DJ’s. http://www.vestax.co.uk/flash/ - -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net # 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, 3 Apr 2000 11:01:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Peter Risser Subject: (exotica) Edmundo SLarry said something like "From following those posts it seemed that most were not to impressed with his records and I stayed away from them."

Further more they looked great and had great names like Karmann Ghia and Alfa Romeo Julietta Spider (we will never pretend to want something named Hyundai -- ever!) They also came with 8-track cassette players "for the quintessential sound and comfort on the road ". Well this is the road to which we're heading once more, and like you never heard it before; not since the days of The Persuaders, transcendental meditation, Roy Lichtenstein, Carnaby Street, Shaft's Big Score, Scandinavian sex reports (or even German schoolgirl ones ), the Italian Gallio fever, Art Vandalay, Bert Kampfaert and Peter Thomas! Recent years have seen a resurgence in this unique era in culture as film festivals, video re-issues and cd compilations are showing, what once was considered trash is now high pop art. The cd collections have helped those who cannot afford the silly prices paid these days for pieces of vinyl that once hung around in the bargain bins of yesterday. From books, magazines, tv shows, revival bands like Mike Flowers Pops and even the occasional hollywood project (Ed Wood & Boogie Nights) they rise form the flames paying homage to an era of a fascinating frenzy of genial gestures and psychedelic perfection. One of the true leaders of this ethos IS ..... Bobby Trafalgar! Repap's CD compilation is dedicated to this all but forgotten but truly ingenious musician of the wilder years this side of Sodam and Gommorrah. If it felt good they did it and the sound of Trafagar certainly reflects this. Little is known about his years as a Romanian native, but Trafalgar was born Bogdan Trefer in the war year of 1942. His family came from a long line of artistic and creative stock, all of whom would have little weight at the time of Stalin's regime. Young Bogdan still took violin, then piano lessons and performed in the Third Pioneer Brigade Orchestra of Bucharest in the early fifties, and was soon getting attention from the country's best conductors. Touring in the Eastern Bloc soon followed with trips to Paris and Berlin. Thanks to these trips he discovered jazz and rock'n'roll, and it was not long before he could hear the call of the west. It was at this turning point in 1961 that he managed to defect into West Berlin during the Ulbrecht celebrations of that year. He paid the rent first as a bar pianist at the infamous Klempinski Hotel, then as accordionist in "Die Josef Moosholzer Rytmusgruppe" performing in some of the most popular knackwurst restuarants of the time. He found his creative outlet during the late night jams sessions, where he often sat in together with like minded players, as the already successful bass player at the time, James Last. Through Last he was introduced to band leader Horst Herrman, at that time arranger for the Berliner Rundfunk, and soon landed the spot as piano soloist. Soon he was backing vocalists like Hildegard Knef, Zarah Leander and even Marlene Dietrich who took an instant liking to the young prodigy. It was she who took him over to London's Hammersmith Odeon and New Yorks Carnegie Hall as replacement for her then musical director Burt Bacarach, who was away doing songs for a new Doris Day movie. He spent 2 weeks in the vibrant new york scene of the early sixties with its art house theatres, beatnik lifestyle and around the clock music, it really stimulated Bobby Trafalgar. He heard Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard, saw 8 1/2 and Breathless and went to Andy Warhol exhibitions. it was 1963, the same year as the movie How The West was Won; it could have been the perfect title for the next chapter of Bobby Trafalgar, the thoroughly gifted and fully defected romanian pianist-arranger who by now had left his native name and country behind him, as well as the violin! as the Dietrich tour was now at an end, he returned to europe full of ideas and decided to try his hand at composing. Back in germany he got in contact with producer Wolf.C. Hartwig, specialist in sordid accounts of crime, delinquent youth culture and the horrors (as well of the delights of) sex. He wrote the scores to films like Die Jungen Tieren von St. Pauli (The Young Animals of St. Pauli), Ein Gorilla Im Haut des Madchens (A Gorilla in the Skin of a Girl) and Wagenwild! (Carcrazy!). These were the years when the so-called respectable names in the business mixed with the underground talent to interesting results, to say the least! In these fims one often saw international actors such as Gert Frobe, Horst Bucholz and Klaus Kinski enjoying themselves as they scared the clothes off different shaped starlets and models whose enthusiastic and exhausted screams always made up for lack of acting abilility. Trafalgar also did uncredited arrangements for Ennio Morricone and Daniel White at this time. Bobby Trafalgar travelled wherever his work took him and once again returned to the States in 1968, this time for a longer and stranger sojourn. The late 60's and the early 70's offered a no-holds barred way of life and a future of art that seemed limitless. Trafalgar released psychedelic dance records together with his backing band The Squares (in spite of this tongue in cheek name the group was indeed very hip to the most contemporary sounds), he went into different musical ventures of oriental as well as militant black jazz poetry. The Trafalgar Squares wasn't your ordinary group but also part of a commune with influences from Buddhism, existensialism, mysticism and ufology. The collective was formed in 1969 and lived isolated 150 miles out in the Nevada desert. After 18 months "The Temple" fell apart and the group split in early 1971. The bass player is now a mayor in a small Utah town. it was after this event that Bobby Trafalgar began to experiment in transvestism and during this period he discovered the Moog synthesizer which came to be his favourite instrument. Legend has it that he is seen in the lost Ed Wood film, Take it Out In Trade, as a madame sporting a pink skeleton around her neck but it remains to be seen if the movie ever resurfaces again. The rest of the early seventies is just as enigmatic ... 1976 saw the return to music from a five year hiatus with the movie score to the French porno film "Hotel d'Amour" by Francis Hulot starring Brigitte Lahaie and the lovely Kitty McBride, who also became Mrs. Trafalgar. Trafalgar later stopped composing again for reasons unknown. Rumours say that Kitty left him to join a lesbian camp in San Francisco in 1982. The last recording from Bobby was released one year earlier and then he vanished into obscurity. Other rumours are that he turned to the lucrative market of commercial jingles and later television infomercial music. In any case he should be heard for his unique musical vision in the many fields he pursued, some of which have been assembled on this collection. The era of the sixties and seventies was truly an age of nonconformity and true freedom of expression. This is for all of us who experienced those years, who took the unique zeitgeist for granted, the movies for taking the snapshots, those hip cats and the musical sounds in fashion -- well, it seems we woke up and smelt the eighties and the nineties in just a few weeks, or before you could say a-ha! And all of a sudden it was over, forever ... Thanks to a stroke of luck, sheer persistance and the fantasic technology we have today, many of these pieces of music have been taken from vinyl, film and 8-track then redigitised, remastered and/or remixed by Hakan Lidbo from Sweden. If you listen carefully you can hear the personality of the man 'Bobby Trafalgar' contained in these tracks ... wonderful!!!

I can just see you with the straw hat and suspenders too. I'm not sure if you're serious but I am very serious. The antidepressants apparently don't kick in till tomorrow, the patch may be working but this nicotine gum is hard to light. Maybe when the drugs do kick in, I'll hold onto a few of those jazz CD's but I doubt it. This is purely a case of vinyl vs CD. When I got a CD player and they were reissuing all this jazz - especially on Blue Note - which I never thought I would see, I know that I wasn't the only one to go a bit crazy. Most of it is gone by now and part of the reason has to do with Blue Note itself. It turns out that having fewer BN records is a good thing. The more you get, the more generic they ALL start to seem. (With the exception of a few Jackie McLean records.) Not to return to an old issue but if you listen to too many Blue Note records, the myth of improvisation starts to become a bit stale. But the point is, I hardly ever listen to jazz anymore. And if I want to hear it, I can play an LP of which I still have plenty. Even though the vinyl jazz is also due for another purging. I kept a couple of Coltrane CD's. A digital copy of my all time favourite jazz record which I still have on vinyl too. It's funny. I had this idea that the jazz CD's were there if "women" came over and I could just "slap it on and forget it". As it turned out, the first woman to really test that theory DID prefer CD's to LP's. But even though she still comes over, that's not a good enough reason to keep em. I've run out of licorice. And I'm having trouble finding a baby carrot with the right circumference. Gotta go.

I bet other people agree with you but there's SO much brainwashing out there now that even people who know the "truth" are tired of arguing against the propaganda. Try telling some of those kids that sex does not equal AIDS. Or that taking drugs does not lead directly to a permanent state of Cheech and Chong-ism. You think of McCarthyism. I think of Dragnet. The episode where the kid takes LSD and jumps off a building, thinking she can fly. Anyway, speaking as one who's trying to quit smoking, I had no idea all these years what a powerful drug I was on. In the end I think it's going to be the physical habit that I have the hardest time getting over. The reaching for, lighting, holding in my hand etc. But when I saw the rage and sadness and irritability that washed over me for the last couple of days, even with a delivery system on my arm, I realized I was HIGH - or low - - the last 25 years. I didn't do animation high on drugs but while we're here, that's also total bullshit that somehow animation is this fine and exacting work that only the most sober mind can accomplish. I know plenty of successful animators who got high. It's embarrassing to me to even say something so trite. "Like hey man, we were so high last night..." Which is probably why no one else has responded to this silly propaganda. I hope. I hate to be arguing in favor of drugs but in general I have preferred the people who got high to the people who never did. I prefer the people who got high and sorta moved on but that's another story.

Smith and Prima drew crowds to the lounges of Las Vegas in the 1950s. Their hits include "Jump, Jive, an' Wail," "Just a Gigolo," "I've Got You Under My Skin," and "That Old Black Magic." Smith talks about her marriage to Prima, the music they made together, and her career. Smith has just released a new CD called Swing Swing Swing (Concord Records). Check with your local NPR station for their broadcast time. Eventually, you can also hear it in RealAudio at the Fresh Air site: http://whyy.org/freshair/ Thanks for the space!

But I would also recommend the storming vocal version by Connie Francis "Bossa nova Hand Dance", easily foundable on "Cocktail Mix, vol. 2: Martini Madness", on Rhino. Just my 200 lire.

But I don't feel exactly the same way anymore. How can you hate the guy who did that tic-tac-toe-cha-cha version of "United We Stand"? And his "Light My Fire" is another classic of cha-cha-minimalism. At the time I went after him, it was only because I thought someone was comparing him a bit too favorably to Perez Prado. But at that point, I hadn't found any mediocre Prado. I might not make that argument today. Buy all the Ros you can find. Except when he sings, it's never terrible. And like almost everyone we talk about here, there's always a couple of better-than-average cuts.

Frankie covers Killing Me Softly; Fidler On the Roof; It's Impossible; And I Love Her So; Tiny Bubbles; Spanish Eyes; My Way; The Most Beautiful Girl; For the Good Times and Money, Money (Cabaret) - on electronic instruments. Here's Frankie: "Singing is my primary thing, with the synthesizers becoming another important part of my life. I really love them." The cover info also refers to "oscillators, filters, envelope generators, ring modulators and other devices." No dates, but I'd guess it's early seventies or late 60s (judging by set list and Frankie's supper club get up). And it's dedicated and signed by the man himself. Wow. Found Project Comstock also. A blessed day in the trash shop. Can't wait to get home with these weird new toys. For those I offered the Rudy Rosa tape to - Squire Burke will be on the flip.
