From: Michael Clifford Subject: (exotica) smelly sounds Date: 31 Aug 2000 23:40:53 -0700 (PDT) A band whose name escapes me had a record out called "Scratch and Sniff Car Crash." I can't remember if it was the record or packaging itself or a promo item sent along with it that had that cordite/ brimstone / burnt rubber smell impregnated in it. They were from California, I think, the label seemed to headquartered out of Orange County. I encountered this sometime in the middle years of my long college career, while I was music director at a college radio station in New Mexico, around '89-90. Also have fond memories of Night Music. I saw/ heard the Gilbert & Sullivan piece, as well as Sonic Youth and the Indigo Girls doing Iggy Pop's "I Wanna be your Dog," although the memories are all kinda hazy. In those days, by that time of night I was usually in a slightly or mostly skewed state of mind. Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Reckless in Islington (Angel tube, Upper Street) has some good stuff too - check downstairs for the soul, dance 12"s (where I finally found the Los Chicharrons lp), and on the ground floor for Easy. Also Disque is near Angel tube, opposite Marks and Spencers (which you should be able to get direction too), has some interesting stuff. The biggest HMV on Oxford St is the one to go to, walking from Oxford Circus, it's on the left hand side (North) before you reach Poland St and Berwick St (both on right hand side (south)). The Easy/Lounge CD section is downstairs, and the lps are in the Jazz section (also downstairs). They're not really sorted, so you have to check them all. They're more expensive than Selectadisc, but Selectadisc tends to sell out of the popular re-issues. The Jazz CDs are pretty good too - they often have sales like 3 for 20 quid. Also the back of the ground floor has other interesting lps and reissue lps among the Soul/Dance stuff. Also - Division One (new and 2nd hand) (behind Virgin Megastore at junction of Oxford St/Tottenham Ct Rd/Charing Cross Rd) and the (quite expensive) 2nd hand-only shop a bit further along that road may be of interest, after doing the rest. Camden has a record fair fortnightly Saturdays in the Electric Ballroom, and a shop in Inverness St (forget name) next to Bar Vinyl, but Camden tends to be a nightmare at weekends due to thousands of slow-moving tourists, and the sheer number of piercings, Dr Martens, 'Korn' teeshirts etc of them tends to put you off... (it's a Mecca for indie/grunge/goth types) There's plenty to look round, just depends how much time/money you've got. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Charles Moseley Subject: RE: (exotica) London record stores Date: 01 Sep 2000 10:57:06 +0100 And if you're really keen, Beano's in Croydon is the biggest 2nd hand record shop in Europe. Well stocked. Not too expensive and quite interesting - Millions of rare 45s, good selection of 60s/70s pop, psyche, etc. Loads of easy LPs and soundtracks but its in Croydon (20 mins south from Central London). Easy to find. I guess it would take a whole weekend to do West End/Notting Hill/Camden/Islington/other selected shops. And it would cost you a fortune. The most expensive London record shop has to be Music and Video Exchange rare record exchange on the top floor of one of the Notting Hill shops. Incredible selection and incredible prices.

The CD contains previously unreleased music from the 1954 Universal-International classic. The 35-minute suite contains 21 cues available for the first time! This landmark score by Herman Stein, Henry Mancini, Milton Rosen, Hans Salter and Robert Emmett Dolan conjures both the beauty and horror of the Gill-Man=92s Amazonian world, and this suite offers practically every second of music previously unavailable on disc.

This morning on my way to work, I realized that there's a bit of production music that I'd like to locate, and maybe someone here can help me out. I'm looking for the tune that was *always* playing whenever one of the Brady kids would turn on the radio on The Brady Bunch. Why? Let's just say I'm in a masochistic mood this week. If anyone has any idea what it is called, who it is by, and where I could get a copy, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks, and sorry to get downright obscure.

And there's no question they were interesting. >But you shouldn't go getting all dewy eyed about them. Unless of course >you like the idea of David Sanborn pouring his one saxophone trick all over >everything, whether it belongs or not. Hey! Every generation needs a Junior Walker imitator! :^) I still dug the show, Sanborn notwithstanding. Not only were you able to see some pretty wild mixes of acts, but I forgot to mention the vintage footage thrown in to every show. Here are some of the film clips they showed: 1. Hank Williams 2. George Gershwin 3. The Treniers 4. Sonny Boy Williamson 5. Lambert, Hendricks and Ross 6. Art Tatum What was far more excruciating was the attempts at humour with Jools Holland and Kevin Meaney. Even when the jokes were funny, the audience was as lively as a cold slab. Thankfully, Meaney left. Holland left as well, which was a shame, because he had more personality and I preferred his playing to Sanborn's. Is the show's passing, taken as a whole. worth getting dewy-eyed over? Perhaps, perhaps not. I lament that the concept didn't go over, though. Music is music and music that is worth listening to ai not always in the Billboard char...oh heck, look who I talking to. I can kind of see Mr. Zweig's point about one monkey stopping a show, though. There was another, far more obscure show on PBS a woman used to host. I remember turning to the station and seeing King Sunny Ade and his African Beats (does anyone remember THAT marketing push?). I thought, this is wonderful. Then she and her vocal group followed Ade's performance by singing "O, Johnny, O", which was one of the single worst renditions I have ever heard. I am not biased against older music, but this rendition. while in tune, didn't swing, it just dangled. It's down there with a rendition of "All That Jazz" I heard on a soap opera rendered with a bad Southern Belle accent ("Alllll a-they-at a-Jayazzzzzzz", it's enough to make the blood run cold). So for those who taped "Sunday Night/Night Music" there is always the fast forward button so I can listen to Sweet Pea Atkinson of Was (Not Was) singing and zzzzzzzzzip past "Earth to Doris" which features one of the Wases singing. Since I am the one who has posted the most about the show for me it's true, man, dewy wins. I promise that I won't go Wanderley about it, though (if you legacy listers know what I mean). Chacour a son gout, which as everyone knows translates as "Tupac and his son had foot problems". And the big word for THIS post is "Vespertine", Brian Phillips P.S. In the lyric change sweepstakes that Mr. Zweig mentioned with "Love The One You're With", I have a new song, the Beatles' "Got to Get You Into My Life". The Beatles, "Another road so maybe I could see another kind of mind there." Earth, Wind and Fire, "Another road so maybe I could see another side there." Marilyn Michaels, "Another road, but maybe I could see another kind of life there." This is proof positive that you CAN cover the Beatles, even have a hit with a Beatles cover, but you end up losing your mind. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Jemmeson Subject: Re: (exotica) Underwater Geetars and Alfie Date: 01 Sep 2000 15:12:40 +0100 Peter Risser wrote: > > So...

That's some serious double-entendre nightmare fuel for both kiddies and adults... I'm also quite fond of Yul Brynner's drag performance in "The Magic Christian" where he sings "Mad About the Boy" to, of all people, Roman Polanski!

He turned to his grand piano, and from the= =20 circular living room of his Hawaii Kai condo, pounded the familiar bars that= =20 start Quiet Village. Don Tiki joined in and took up where the master left=20 off. As all are aware, my fondness for Denny is of major proportion. I know that= =20 Fluid Floyd shares this same sentiment. The video was a highlight of the=20 evening. It set the mood for the rest of the evening. I expressed thanks t= o=20 Floyd and Perry as well as other members of the band for coming and for=20 bringing the Denny greeting. On this note, I think a digression is needed. As much as I loved The Kahiki= ,=20 the Tsaos and the event in general, it was the announcement that Don Tiki wa= s=20 playing that had me calling for reservations. As I expressed to them in=20 person, and will here do it again, I truly appreciate the dedication and=20 effort that this premiere, modern Exotica band has made =E2=80=93 both to th= is music=20 genre and to the Kahiki event. Once again, thanks to all involved with Don=20 Tiki for participation in this event. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) The Kahiki Closing Party - Part 5 Date: 01 Sep 2000 12:57:35 EDT OK, so we had been talking about the event on the main level. The main=20 dining area that is. There was a whole other show going on 15 feet below. A= t=20 the entrance foyer, a stair case to the left takes you to The Kahiki=E2=80= =99s=20 basement. For the event, the basement was the center for the gastronomical=20 indulgences the Tsaos and the staff offered. This was not a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet. The food and presentation wa= s=20 as good as it can be for an event of this magnitude. The kitchen staff was=20 responsible for providing food for the 400 plus attendees of the party. The= =20 variety and presentation of the food just continued to unfold as one worked=20 their way along the buffet. The center of the room contained a 4 sided=20 buffet that was about 20 feet long on each side. On one side wall there was= =20 an a la carte section where you could choose the ingredients you wanted and=20 the chefs would lightly fry or wok your selections for you. Cleanliness and presentation was obviously of tantamount importance to the=20 staff. I bounced back and forth from the main floor to the basement and at=20 all times the buffet was in top order. Trays of food were replaced when half= =20 empty and dirty dishes were quickly taken away. Tables with clean linens=20 were adequately arranged for the party guests. No one had to balance a=20 plate on their knee. Later in the evening, the buffet was cleared and a vast array of deserts was= =20 presented. The whole food affair was top notch and I told the Tsaos so on=20 more than one occasion. And if the buffet was not enough, the back wall offered a menu more for the=20 ears than the mouth. Exotica List members Jeff Chenault, Michael Toth, Jack= =20 Fedderman and Brother Cleve each took their appropriate turn at the dual=20 tables spinning Exotica fare that added excitement to the accompanying buffe= t. There was so much festivity going on in the basement I observed some people=20 never really ventured upstairs. =20 An enjoyable aspect of my evening was spending time visiting with Josh and=20 Glendale Agle. Josh is better known as Shag and he and his wife spent a goo= d=20 amount of time just sitting at one of the tables, enjoying the buffet scene,= =20 grooving out to the DJs=E2=80=99 tunes and talking with fans and passerbys.=20= Again,=20 testimony to the fact that no matter where you were in The Kahiki, something= =20 worthwhile was going on. Back up on the main floor, Don Tiki was winding up their first set. The=20 crowd, with the help of the bar staff, were really getting loosened up now.=20= =20 King Kukulele entertained the crowd with his antics. I really enjoyed his=20 performance. A few folks found his follies a little puerile but I was=20 impressed. Here was this guy, all by himself, entertaining all manner of=20 folks =E2=80=93 and following a 9 piece band nonetheless. Most of the peopl= e around=20 me enjoyed the King too. The crowd was getting a little boisterous though=20 and it was a little difficult to hear him. Michael Tsao made an appearance and, with mike in hand, addressed the crowd=20 at length regarding his reign as Big Kahuna of The Kahiki. By this time the= =20 crowd was really "juiced" and their patience to hear Don Tiki again was=20 growing thin. There was a little break where I took the opportunity to head back to the ba= r=20 and visit with some of my new found Columbus friends. I met some really=20 remorseful folks from Columbus that were thoroughly depressed that The Kahik= i=20 was closing. These were people that had grown up around The Kahiki=E2=80= =99s=20 festivities. Most of these people were happy at the party, but there were a= =20 few that demonstrated real sorrow over the closing. And most of those were=20 obviously trying to drink as much as they could at The Kahiki=E2=80=99s bar=20= before=20 the closing later that night. Eventually Don Tiki took the stage again and the crowd, even livelier than=20 before, greeted the band enthusiastically. The dance floor was crowded for=20 the whole second set and Tiki Bob must have thought he was back in his=20 college days because he was a "dancing fool." At least I think I got the=20 fool part of it correct. The band hammered on, the bar staff continued to pour and the Exoticats, bot= h=20 tiki and Columbus types, swayed on into the night. Don Tiki, having played=20= a=20 rather long second set, wound things down about half past midnight. By that= =20 time most of the Columbus contingency had vacated the premises. I made my=20 rounds, thanking and "goodbye-ing" all the folks hanging around to the end.=20= =20 Alice and Michael seemed pleased that everybody had a good time. Ever the=20 hosts, they seemed more concerned about how the party went off instead of th= e=20 pending close of their restaurant. The evening was a tremendous success. Everybody I talked with enjoyed the=20 party and, obviously, will miss The Kahiki tremendously. I took one last=20 look around before heading out to the parking lot. Michael and Alice were i= n=20 the foyer talking with some other folks that were on their way out. From th= e=20 front doors they were about 15 feet away from me. I gave a wave goodbye and= =20 pressed through the double doors leading out to the twin tiki entrance way.=20= =20 As the doors were closing behind me, I heard Michael yell, "Aloha, Bob!=20 Thanks for coming!" The doors closed behind me and the sounds of The Kahiki= =20 faded quickly as the car traffic noise took over. I thought about how aloha= =20 means both hello and goodbye. Unfortunately, this time it meant the latter.= =20 And it was goodbye for good. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Robbie Baldock Subject: (exotica) Poptones Date: 01 Sep 2000 18:05:00 +0100 Some very interesting looking activity about to take place courtesy of Alan McGee's new label: http://www.poptones.com/ Particularly: http://www.poptones.com/bands/selo.html Robbie Spaced Out - the Enoch Light Website http://www.rcb.easynet.co.uk/light/ # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: Green Hornet Date: 01 Sep 2000 15:25:15 +0200 Billy May: The Green Hornet CD, Max Entertainment BLXL-1001, Japan, 199 The "Green Hornet" soundtrack sounds as if mastered from vinyl. The CD adds 9 bonus tracks to this soundtrack: some fit in with the "Green Hornet" soundtrack, some don't. The first bonus simply duplicates the closing track from "Green Hornet", under a different song title. Then there are 3 versions of the title theme: one performed by Al Hirt, another is the TV version and the third is (I guess) the radio series' theme song -- both in not so Hi-Fi sound. Then come a couple of bonusses of unknown origin: "Fury of the dragon", "Flight of the bumblebee" and=8A the "Batman" theme! "Longstreet" -- music + a dialogue snippet -- sounds as if it comes from a TV series, maybe even from the "Green Hornet", who knows? And the last track (almost 12 minutes long!) is just a filler: some classical thing called "Adagio in G minor" by one Tomaso Albinoni. Liner notes in Japanese only!

He was 53. Clayton was pronounced dead at the scene after the collision. Police said a sport utility vehicle struck his car at an intersection. A Los Angeles native, Clayton wrote or collaborated on dozens of R&B songs since the 1970s. ``Take Your Time (Do It Right)'' was his most enduring hit, selling 2 million singles for The SOS Band and frequently copied by other artists. During his 30-year career, Clayton has been listed as a writer on albums by such artists as DJ Jazzy Jeff, Salt N Pepa, ex-Fugee Wyclef Jean and the late Eddie Kendricks, former lead singer for The Temptations. Most recently, Clayton had been recording songs with his nephew Darryl Jones for an album on Joclay Records. Jones plans to finish the album. Mort Ruby LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Mort Ruby, who managed Nat King Cole early in the singer's career, died Monday. He was 97. Ruby had worked as an advance man for Spike Jones and other entertainers when he saw Cole playing piano at the Swannee Inn in Los Angeles in the early 1940s. As Cole's road manager for five years, Ruby helped guide the young pianist toward his lasting career as leader of the King Cole Trio and as a singer. Ruby wrote a book, ``The King and Me,'' about the experience. Ruby, who owned his own theatrical booking agency in Hollywood, worked as a volunteer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after retiring. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Will Straw Subject: (exotica) Manchester Date: 01 Sep 2000 15:00:37 -0400 Hi, folks -- I'm off to Manchester, UK for a week on Monday, and while I know it ain't exactly a music-free city, I'm wondering if there are shops/clubs/events there of the sort we're interested in here.

I think there are a few elements to it, but the main thing is a high-speed pitch modulation. There might be a bit of volume modulation in there as well, but the pitch modulation is the main thing (a Fender amp's tremolo/vibrato wouldn't do it -- that's only a volume modulation). There's also a dose of spring reverb, but that alone would not do it. You need the high-speed pitch warble for Vinnie's sound. Nowadays you could approximate it with a fast flanger or chorus effect... something to wiggle the pitch. Add reverb to taste. I have no idea what Vinnie would have been using in the 60s. Maybe a Magnatone amp? They had a true pitch-bending vibrato, back in the 50s already (hear it on Buddy Holly's "Words Of Love").

On an upnote, Michael Tsao said that Kahiki Foods will be shipping to Sam's Club stores across the United States. I take it he was talking about the frozen dinners? >> this is just my impression, so please take it as such: i have the feeling he was kind of telling people what they wanted to hear -- that he will reopen The Kahiki. while not discussing that issue, he was telling me all about the cost and hassle of running the restaurant and how the frozen food side was more profitable and manageable. i got the impression that the plans to open another Kahiki will not materailize. again, that is just my feeling. tb # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve Morgan Subject: Re: (exotica) Manchester Date: 04 Sep 2000 13:53:54 +0100 i lived in manchester a few years ago, and although i still visit occasionally, i can only give you sketchy info : >record stores : vinyl exchange, oldham st : 2nd hand vinyl downstairs, good prices, reasonable jazz section and some bits of exotica piccaddilly records, oldham st : best place for new/reissued stuff with helpful reviews stuck on the display copies. fat city, oldham st : more reissues, plus some 2nd hand decoy records, deansgate : great for new/2nd hand jazz. kingbee, chorlton : don't make a special trip, but if you're driving past you might find a bargain or two. expansions, swan st?? : i think this is somewhere near 'band on the wall' (the main jazz venue) now. pricey, but you might find some unusual stuff here. goldmine : this one's also moved because of the bomb a few years back. a real mecca for northern soul 45s, but you might pick up some real bargains from slightly different musical territory. a legendary record store. afflecks palace, oldham st : there's a soul/jazz stall on the 1st floor which always has some good, cheap records. >shops : downstairs from 'cafe pop', oldham st : an aladins cave of kitsch furniture, clothes, radios, etc etc, all original stuff (but expensive). nice cafe too. >clubs : i think there might be a weekly exotica-type night called 'the tiger lounge'. >bars/cafes : too many to mention : oldham st, canal st, deansgate, castlefield are the main areas though.

As part of the Festival des films du monde de Montreal, a surprise outdoor concert by Emir Kusterica and "The No Smoking Orchestra". For the unacquainted, Kusterica is a film director from former Yugoslavia, responsible for a number of completely wild films including Time of the Gypsies, Underground, Black Cat White Cat, and Arizona Dream, the last one filmed in the US, featuring Jerry Lewis and including some seriously deranged music by Iggy Pop. The orchestra today played something which one could only describe as "deranged gypsy" sounds! The films are not to be missed and soundtrack recordings are mostly available as French imports. One of few instances where I've enjoyed listening to music with accordion in it! The CDs may appear under the name of the composer of many of the scores, Goran Bregovic.

Toth" Subject: (exotica) Italian Instabile Orchestra Date: 04 Sep 2000 23:42:49 -0400 When I was driving up to see Ursula 1000 in Cleveland Sunday night, the Cleveland NPR station was having their simulcast of the Chicago Jazz Festival on the radio. I caught the end of a set by this "Italian Instabile Orchestra" which was INCREDIBLE. I'm not much of a "serious"/"straight" jazz fan, but this group seemed to have more in common with the Space Age Pop orchestras than what I tend to hear as "jazz" these days. It was manic, eclectic swing big band with some bizarre experimental edges and a definite sense of humor. One of the commentators was describing them as Nino Rota/Felliniesque. Not stylistically necessarily, but its *attitude* reminded me of big band Prado at its frenetic, crazed horn-section best with a Sauter-Finegan smart, highly-skilled quirky playfulness. I don't know how their recordings stack up, but upon an initial listen of this live material: REALLY INTRIGUING STUFF. Anybody familiar with their stuff or have any other dirt on this band? There's only a new release due in a week that I see listed at CD Now. The scoop lifted from the Chicago Jazz Fest Chicago Reader schedule site: http://www.chireader.com/music/jazzfest/schedule00.html Italian Instabile Orchestra This gig is certain to be the major revelation of this year's fest. The Italian Instabile Orchestra, first convened in 1990, is a large, woolly assemblage of the most adventurous musicians from Italy's potent jazz community. Its music draws together many of the threads running through various Italian takes on jazz -- melancholy folk material, vaudevillian cheekiness, astounding technical feats, soul-searing intensity, unabashed experimentalism, a winning theatricality, and a genuine love and understanding for the full breadth of American jazz. One might expect an 18-member ensemble of any kind to sound totally out of control, but while some healthy chaos was a key ingredient of a performance I saw this summer in Montreal, overall the music was stunningly disciplined, even at its most absurd. The members take turns conducting their peers on original compositions that place equal emphasis on ensemble passages and roof-raising solos and duets; it's not hyperbole to say there was never a dull moment. "Instabile" of course means unstable, and the lineup is in constant flux. Though heavies like trumpeter Enrico Rava and pianist Giorgio Gaslini have played in the band, none of the really big names is coming to Chicago. But many of those who are coming are distinguished in their own right: reedist Gianluigi Trovesi, for example, just released In cerca di cibo (ECM), a wonderful duet recording with accordion player Gianni Coscia that addresses Italian folk melodies with free jazz exuberance. Also on board are trumpeters Pino Minafra, Guido Mazzon, and Alberto Mandarini; trombonists Sebi Tramontana and Giancarlo Schiaffini (who played duets at the Empty Bottle Festival of Jazz & Improvised Music in 1999) and Lauro Rossi; French hornist Martin Mayes; reedists Carlo Actis Dato, Daniele Cavallanti, Eugenio Colombo, and Mario Schiano; violinist Renato Geremia; pianist Umberto Petrin; bassist Paulo Damiani; and percussionists Vincenzo Mazzone, Tiziano Tononi, and Riccardo Bergerone.

I've been chasing down exotica LPs since about 1993. I like the thrill of the hunt, so rather than buying through dealers I spend quite a lot of time scrounging through yard sales, thrift stores, flea markets, etc. I've discovered quite a lot of bizarre and delightful music in this way. And as they say, it builds character. Anyway, after 7 years and pawing through probably miles of record bins, I have never ONCE even SEEN an Esquivel LP. Until this weekend. At a flea market in northern Michigan I came across this deluxe RCA package, _Stereo for the Joy of It_. This is a big padded binder-like sampler, which contains 10 complete RCA albums in pockets which reproduce the covers of the original release--with several extra pages full of colorful verbiage about the miracle of stereophonic sound. This includes several fun LPs like Cugat's _The King Plays some Aces_ and Dick Schory's _Music for Bang Baaroom and Harp_(as well as some other real snores). But keep your eyes out for this one, kiddies, cause it also has the complete Esquivel _Other Worlds Other Sounds_, his US debut album. Six dollars. Great condition. It's missing two disks, but they're the ones I would have considered the most expendable anyway. I'm not at liberty to reveal the exact location where I found this. But I will say that it's a very short drive to nearby establishment where you may purchase excellent homemade Elk, Ostrich and Bear jerky. . .

The album cover looks like an ordinary jazz cover of that time and perhaps therefore was undiscovered for by the lovers of an exotically intoxicated brazilesque jazz sound. But it's an amazing recording, especially because the guy's instrument is the saxophone, which in Exotica is a rather rarely used instrument. But it fits well into the layers of big orchestral instrumentation and surely adds up some different spice for those who have heard "everything" already. Somehow the recent changes in company ownership by shareholder madness have made it possible that records of A&M can be rereleased at last. I hope there will a lot more come out of this corner, like all the Herb Alpert albums etc etc. The past still has some surprises to offer...

Same with me, except I've been doing it for 20 years. That's why a few months ago I finally decided to buy me 3 of those CD reissues, which I usually never do. And here's the down part of the story: I was a little bit disappointed by what I heard. Especially the "4 Corners Of The World" album didn't live up to the high expectations I had about Esquivel from the extensive praise I've been reading in this list over the years. The "Latinesque", which was the only one I owned - and actually knew before - is still by far the best, imho. Do I share these opinions with anybody else?

I really love the records he made for Verve and CTI after he left the Quartet. During his lifetime Desmond was widely quoted as saying he always tried to make his alto sound "like a dry martini".

Well, I'm fond of "4 Corners" myself, but I know I'm in the minority there. It doesn't have any of the elaborate, hyper-dynamic arrangements of his full orchestra records (that 'Calder mobile in a windstorm' quality). Those wild arrangements being his famed and acclaimed superpower. "4 Corners" is simply a casual small-combo set. If I didn't also have CDs of his wild stuff, I might feel differently, but I like "4 Corners" for the contrast. To me, it feels like after-hours Esquivel... kicking back and breezing through some standards... nicely and intimately recorded. I don't like it better than the *POW* albums -- I'm just grateful for the opportunity to hear another side of him. m.ace mace@ookworld.com http://ookworld.com http://ookworld.com/linkalog/ # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lang Thompson Subject: Re: (exotica) (Fred?)

What's up with that is that the Onion writers are actually of my generation (born late 60s and early 70s), and actually *did* have experiences like that (I remember chuckling over my best friend's parents' Percy Faith records). I doubt any kid born in 1984 would even get the humor. Most of them don't even know what an LP is. And those smelly records we're buying in thrifts and garage sales?

I think they bought the whole thing more as an amusement for us kids. We had very few LPs that could be considered best-sellers. Instead we had lots of LPs that were bought from the cut-out bins for only 50 cents, and stuff that might have been bought in bulk during the closing minutes of a yard sale. Our collection featured stuff like 'The Lonseome Valley Singers play the hits of Hank Williams', 'Today's Pop Hits' by some unknown cover band, the cash-in LP titled 'Ballad of the Green Berets' with the beret on the cover - not the original by Barry Sadler, and those fake Beatle Lps that didn't quite really sound like the Beatles. Also featured were Grade B and C country performers, quite a few polka records, and those Christmas LPs that one could buy really cheap from your local Firestone dealer. Yet, I consider myself fortunate. Much worse would be those parents who didn't bring any stereo or Lps into their house.

Amidst the Stravinsky, Victoria de Los Angeles (Mom's favorite opera singer), Les Baxter (10 inch of "Le Sacre du Savage") and Taboo (thanks to a list member, I have this one on tape again!) there were a couple of lapses: Jerry Vale - What a Wonderful World The Living Voices of Christmas - The Bible says you should make a joyful noise unto the Lord, but I don't recall reading, "Make a banal and flaccid noise unto the Lord". Which translation did these folks get? The worst record that either of them bought was...Jo Basile's "My World", my brother and I's nomination for worst record issued in the Western Hemisphere.

It had ethereal strings and a nice melody that I felt wouldn't be out of place on a record considered Exotica. One record that I know, "Safari" by Edmond De Luca, is half originals and half classics, such as the Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel de Falla (that's what the record company did! I didn't start de Falla! I am REAL sorry about that pun). Here are some other pieces deemed as "classic" that I think would fit on an Exotica tape: :Danzas de Panama - William Grant-Still Little Train on the Caipira - Heitor Villa-Lobos - It really sounds like a train. Woo woo. L'escales - Jacques Ibert Jacques ze Bear - Le Duke de Ellington (Sorry. Just kidding, I'll stop) Can anyone think of others?

Most of the parental record collection is 50's & 60's R&B (of which I've been known to *ahem* "borrow" a few things - such as the classic James Brown Live At The Apollo), jazz, rock, etc. Not to say there haven't been a few detours I haven't been able to stomach.... Neil Sedaka, Pablo Cruise, John Denver, John Denver & The Muppets....etc. But I suppose these are mostly harmless. I was actually rather disappointed the last time I went spelunking through their vinyl to not find anything more "exotica" oriented. Of course, then again, my Dad has been rather horrified to learn that I'm listening to Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and the like. I tried to subject him to my Hugo Montenegro album of Bob Dylan songs, but his turntable conveniently broke.

You bet! Jacques Ibert's "Escales: Ports of Call" is very exotic, to my ears at least. It's a sound portrait of various Mediterranean ports -- Rome, Palermo, Tunis, Nefta, Valencia. It's similar in some ways to Les Baxter's "Ports of Pleasure". Doesn't seem to get recorded too often, but there are at least a couple of CDs still available containing "Escales".

The sound quality of the original stereo vinyl LP's, however, are vastly superior to any CD of Esquivel's recordings.

I believe it's also missing 2 cuts, as it was a mid-priced item.

Date: 09 Sep 2000 14:36:23 -0700 I am thinking of trying to put together a cd (for my own personal use, of course) of the stereo version of Martin Denny's Exotica album (the better mono version is available on Scamp Records, and sounds great). Probably 2/3 of the tracks are available on CD (Capitol boxed set, et al.) somewhere. Before I try to convert the remaining tracks from LP (well, and to obtain the LP) does anyone have these on MP3 or other electronic format? This would obviously ease "production" Obviously I would be happy to purchase a real release of this, but until such time I believe this is the only way to do this and maintain reasonable ethics.

"Confoundingly inexpensive European CD issue of the first LP of Moondog sessions (aka 'Caribea') from 1956, identical to the domestic version. Moondog was of course Louis Hardin, the Episcopalian minister's son from Kansas/Wyoming who before losing his sight as a teenager (explosives) witnessed/participated in several native American ceremonies and rituals, placing in young Louis a disctinctive/ instinctual rhythmic drive. After moving about restlessly he settled down in New York city in the early 40s, performed his disjointed etudes on the street and met folks like Charlie Parker, Toscanini, etc... Although it's normally the proto minimalist tendencies that counfound most (repetitive Eastern-tinged modal themes), elements ranging from city-life sounds (traffic, machinery) and straight up philosophical rants made their way onto these sides, often abetted by Moondog'scosmic percussion and piano melodies. Arguably the first of the musical outsider geniuses. Take it as it may..." -- Hrvatski. $9.00 _____________________________________________ SUMMERSTEPS: VA: Naked In The Afternnon: A Tribute To Jandek CD (SUM 0020). "Jandek, the man and the musician, exists almost more as an abstraction than any kind of graspable reality. Over the course of 28 albums, Jandek has painted a complete picture of a universe that is simultaneously empty & teeming w/ life. His recordings ­- even w/ other, nameless musicians ­- exist on a plane of otherness that seems beyond the reach of otherOs spirits. His music & his muse, bob on a slate grey sea whose boundaries reach so deep into the cosmos that their gently lapping waves fold back on each other, forming an all-encompassing stone halo for the ages. And while the music of Jandek is always difficult to describe, its effect on those who dare to listen w/ all their holes open can be profound. Summersteps Records has assembled Naked in the Afternoon ­- A Tribute to Jandek, in order to help others to help themselves in their approach to Jandek¹s massive body of work. The disk has 21 tracks, recorded by a variety of musicians whose breathing apparati must be fully functional. Each of them takes a different, highly personalized approach to the music of Jandek. And each of them is absolutely successful in internal terms, making for a mind-imploding blend of sound and vision. If you have never had the fortitude to grasp the horns of Jandek directly, this may be yr best shot at a roundabout approach. Summersteps was able to assemble an extremely varied cast of Jandek appreciators to sing his praises. The cast ranges from the well-known (Low, Amy Denio, Thurston Moore¹s Dapper, Gary Young, Monster Island, Retsin, Bright Eyes etc.) to the hermetic. The music is culled from albums as old as 1978¹s Ready for the House and as au courant as 1998¹s New Town. There are even a couple of original pieces dealing w/ the paradoxical absolutes of Jandek¹s existence rather than w/ the absolute paradoxes of his music. The set is, if not authorized, at least acknowledged, by Jandek himself. It includes a cover photograph by the Corwood label¹s staff photographer. We are convinced that there is a precise moment at which Jandek¹s music can make perfect sense for anyone. Maybe that moment for you is now." -- Byron Coley $11.00 _____________________________________________ ESP/CALIBRE (NETHERLANDS): RA, SUN: Heliocentric Worlds Vol. 1 CD (ESPCD 1014). "Recorded in April 1965, this is the first recording by Sun Ra for ESP and an ideal introduction to his music. An exploration of the outer nothingness." From Remco Takken's liner notes: "This record goes deep into the low noises...bass, bass clarinet, baritone sax, bass trombone, tympani, and even bass marimba (played by Sun Ra when he is not playing keyboards). Around 1964, the Sun Ra Arkestra, balancing on the edge of free jazz from 1954 on, went in a readical new direction, when Sun Ra started conducting 'free' improvisations for sections of his Arkestra. The first results were released on Sun Ra's own Saturn label as Other Planes of There, microtonal blackos of sound were set against complex rhymical patterns...It is safe to say that with ESP's The Heliocentric Worlds Vol. 1 a larger audience could, for the first time, encounter the new sound worlds Sun Ra was into in the mid-60s." $15.00 # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: itsvern@ibm.net Subject: (exotica) Sleaze Date: 10 Sep 2000 11:55:41 -0400 The latest issue of SPIN magazine features the '100 Sleaziest Moments in Rock' Exotica does make an appearance on this list.

A friend laid this *huge* pile of of Magic Organ and Happy Organ LPs on me, which I listened to with the lowest possible expectations. I ended up saving only one of the M.O.'s--the circularly-titled _Organ Magic_ --which had slightly more interesting organ effects. The series was on Ranwood and actually the organist was a Nashville session guy named Jerry Smith. However I have to say that in contrast, the "Happy Organs" were quite astonishing. As far as I can tell, they were a kind of a lower-priced imitation of the Magic Organ format. But I want some of you keyboardists to tell me what the deal is with these LPs,--to my ear, the lead instrument sounds like No Organ Of This Earth. Could it be a bit of discreet Moogery? And the robotic rhumba-matic percussion lines are totally hypnotic. It's really the missing link between cocktail lounge organ and Kraftwerk.

It is mono. Do I > actually have the better version? The stereo version is inferior? I think the Mono version is outstanding. It's THE one Martin Denny album, where his combo still has this truly (in the best sense) primitive sound and wild attitude. Even Primitiva and Afrodesia sound much milder compared to Exotica 1 Mono. This has nothing to do with the fact that it is "the original version". It is in fact very different.

I love the film, Captain invincible is a faded superhero living as a drunk somewhere in the bush, who is found by the Australian President, and told that he must save the world from another dastardly plot by Evil Mr Midnight. Theres a duet with Alan Arkin, when Captain Invincible works out whos behind the criminal goings on, which has some great one liners, and another where he tries to tempt Invincible with drink 'Might I say that I'm old fashioned?...' surrounded by dancing girls in torn fishnets. I've never seen a soundtrack to this film, but i loved those songs so much I taped them from a worn out video. Christopher Lee has a great voice, fruity and deep, if a little limited.

I got V1 of 'World of Phase 4 Stereo (SPA32 if you're out there Pete, its not in your discography). Primarily for Ronnie Aldritchs's version of 'Ride my See-Saw', but it has a great Edmondo Ros version of La Bamba, and I don't know, but I like his singing. But then I like Christopher Lees as well, so..... James Last A Go-Go, well, it has 'A Go-Go' in the title, and I saw about 10 copies of it this week (and I'd never seen it before), and it has a great day-glo and silver sleeve, it seemed to be calling to me. I wouldn't normally, but as I say it seemed to be calling. Well, its a little chirpy for my liking, but not awful. A couple of Dean Martin LP's including one conducted by Frank Sinatra. Beyond criticism really, you know exactly what you're going to get, and you do, even with Francis Albert at the helm. Wout Steenhuis meets the Kontiki's, Studio 2 (two 187, but i think you got that one, Pete) straight up, competant Hawaiian style, probably the straightest Wout Steenhuis LP I have. Not remarkable. Wout Steenhuis presents the Kontiki's with Leon Young 'Hammond in Hawaii'. This was less cheesy, than I was hoping, similar to some Leo Addeo I suppose. The Hammond wasn't particularly prominent, and it worked quite well. Still, Leon Young is no Harry Stoneham. Herb Alpert S.R.O. I always thought that Tijuana Taxi was the theme for 'Its a Knockout' (don't ask), but it seems to be 'Wall Street Rag'. Almost identical I'd say. Latin dance Beat of Xavier Cougat. Great, my first Cougat experience, and just as expected, a superior latin record. A fairly obvious selection possibly, but no faulting that, 'Cherry Blossom Pink', 'Mambo Jambo', 'Peanut Vendor'. Shame you don't see more of his stuff knocking about in the UK. Except on dodgy comps. And I finally found in a record shop in Rye (sorry, Historic Rye) rather than a charity shop, but who cares, six quid after 3 years hunting, Augusto Alguerro 'Sounds Spectacular'. The two best tracks, 'La La La' and 'Gran Premio' are on a comp I already have, but the rest of it is still pretty good. Mostly covers (a crisp 'Delilah' is the only one I can remember), the arrangements are good even if they lack the erratic imagination that make Gran Premio and Boccaccio Soul so great. I've only given a quick play, so there may be gems hiding away in there I haven't discovered. And sleevenotes (50 OST's recorded before his first UK release! Any Spanish Listers know anything about that?). I remember someone else was searching for this when I've posted about AA in the past, so if they want a copy, please contact me offlist, I can't remember who it was.

A blend of familiar and unfamiliar gestures, this vibrant musical language takes the listener beyond the ordinary by evoking foreign cultures and forbidden desires. In this pioneering collection, distinguished musicologists explore the ways in which western composers have used exotic elements for dramatic and striking effect. Interweaving historical, musical, and cultural perspectives, the contributors examine the compositional use of exotic styles and traditions in the works of artists as diverse as Mozart and George Harrison. The volume sheds new light on a significant yet largely neglected art form, and it makes a valuable contribution to music history and cultural studies About the Author Jonathan Bellman is Associate Professor of Music History at the University of Northern Colorado. He is the author of The Style Hongrois in the Music of Western Europe, also published by Northeastern University Press.

Lewis,Alan Caddy Date: 11 Sep 2000 13:07:06 -0400 SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) -- Joseph H. Lewis, who directed ``Gun Crazy,'' ``The Big Combo'' and dozens of other B movies, died Aug. 30. Lewis was believed to be 93, although some reference books list his birthday as April 6, 1900. Between 1937 and 1958, Lewis made 38 pictures with names like ``Singing Outlaw,'' ``Bombs Over Burma'' and ``Retreat, Hell!'' ``Gun Crazy,'' shot in 30 days in 1949 for $400,000, was Lewis' favorite and became a cult classic. The film noir tale of a couple on a robbery spree won the acclaim of director Martin Scorsese. Lewis, who was born in New York City, came to Hollywood in the 1920s. He was directing films by the mid-1930s, and for the next three decades cranked out everything from Westerns to war movies to science fiction films. He directed all the musical sequences for ``The Jolson Story,'' the 1946 biopic of entertainer Al Jolson, and during World War II he made instructional films for the Army. Lewis also directed episodes for television shows, including ``The Rifleman,'' ``Gunsmoke'' and ``The Defenders.'' http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?p=avg&sql=B99636 Alan Caddy Guitarist who found fame with the Tornados Friday September 8, 2000 Alan Caddy, who has died aged 60, was a founder member of the Tornados, the only serious challengers to the Shadows as most popular British instrumental unit of the 1960s. The quintet are best remembered for 1962's million-selling Telstar. If unable to build on a number one in the US - where no UK outfit had ever made much headway - the Tornados scored three more entries - Globetrotter, Robot and the Ice Cream Man - in 1963's domestic Top 10 before the advent of Merseybeat, with its emphasis on vocals. Suddenly rendered passé, they soldiered on with a still impressive workload while largely repeating earlier ideas on disc. Unlike the others, Caddy, who was born in Chelsea, London, was classically trained, having served as a boy soprano in Westminster Abbey, and studied violin as leader of the orchestra at school in Battersea, before the onset of puberty found him looking for an opening in pop as a guitarist. It came when he joined a skiffle group, the Five Nutters, who were omnipresent at their own KKK Club in Willesden. After a transitional period as Bats Heath and the Vampires, they went professional as Johnny Kidd and the Pirates in 1958. Among few homegrown rock 'n' rollers regarded with awe, they made a television debut on ITV's Disc Break, with 1959's Please Don't Touch. Much of its charm emanated from Caddy's galvanising riffing. However, because Caddy was riven with self-doubt about his ability, another guitarist picked the staccato lead on Kidd's climactic Shakin' All Over - which, while it knocked Cliff Richard from the top in August 1960, netted Caddy only a standard session fee of 15 guineas. Within a year, Johnny Kidd was becalmed outside the Top 50, and Caddy and his fellow Pirates had abandoned the apparently sinking ship, retaining their stage costumes to be the Cabin Boys behind Tommy Steele's brother, Colin Hicks, a huge attraction in Italy. Hicks proved a difficult employer, and Caddy flew home to land on his feet as mainstay of the Tornados, assembled in the first instance to back Ken Charles, Pamela Blue, John Leyton and Mike Berry and similar protégés of the console boffin Joe Meek, in his RPM studio in Holloway Road, London. Following a miss with Popeye Twist, written by Caddy and drummer Clem Cattini, the ethereal Telstar was taped as a routine backing track - albeit with a poignant "second subject" plucked by Caddy - hours before a show with Billy Fury in Great Yarmouth. Overnight, Meek transformed it into the quintessential 1960s instrumental. Though dismissing the RPM sound as "unadulterated lift music", Caddy remained a Tornado throughout their period of greatest celebrity as both respected sidemen, hit parade contenders and patron saints of myriad combos created in the same image - notably the Volcanos, with Polaris. The first perceptible sign of danger occurred with Dragonfly, a comparative flop, coinciding with the exit shortly before of bass player Heinz Burt - and, with him, most of the group's teen appeal - in autumn 1963. As injurious a departure in its way was that of Caddy, after the release of 1964's Away From It All, an album containing four of his compositions. By then, Caddy was well-placed to make a living as a session musician, and even become a star in his own right, but, said Clem Cattini: "He never achieved his potential because he didn't believe in himself." Caddy took a job as house arranger and producer for Avenue Records, a budget label specialising in covers of current hits. Next, he moved to a similar post in Canada. Back in England by 1975, Caddy was involved in a remake of Telstar by a reconstituted Tornados, but chose not to return to the public stage - although he was persuaded to pitch in occasionally when attending RPM Appreciation Society evenings - as he was a few months ago when he gave his last performance, which included a game, if ragged, crack at the timeless Telstar. Alan Caddy is survived by his wife and daughter.

Hi, Jane. I have a copy of this! According to Jeff Chenault's Les Baxter discography, it was apparently released as a 10" and a 45 rpm set. I bought my copy from a guy whose dad worked for Capitol Records, and it looks like a test pressing. It's a heavy 12" album, with what looks like a Capitol in-house label slapped on, and the track listings typed right onto the label by an old Corona typewriter. The music's not particularly interesting, to my ears anyway. Pretty straightforward, Jacques Offenbach-ish ballet music. > I recently got an LP on the Carlton label called "Atlantis." Would this be "Atlantis in Hi-Fi" by Alexander Lazlo and the Bavarian State Symphony Orchestra (Carlton 12/106)? According to the liners, it's music from the "Forbidden Island" (isn't this the movie in which MARTIN DENNY appeared??). I guess A. Lazlo did the music for a lot of Hollywood cheapies -- including "Attack of the Giant Leeches", "Atomic Submarine" (sounds like there might be a theremin in this one) and "Beast from Haunted Cave", among others. Here's a track listing for "Atlantis in Hi-Fi": The Coral Empire Temple of Poseidon Traffic of a Sunken City Sunset on the Ocean Floor Night Below the Reef Conference of the Sea Gods Rapture of the Deep War at 90 Fathoms Exiles of Atlantis Maybe it's not exotica, but "oceania". Sounds like a candidate for a two-fer CD with "Skin Diver Suite" or "Jewels of the Sea"...? "Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat" is out on CD. Dusty Groove had it, also Jack Diamond.

He attended Trinity College of Music in Oxford, beating out Gustav Holst in a scholarship competition. Although he achieved some critical recognition for his choral and chamber works, his greatest success was in descriptive pieces, much along the lines of Delius's "In the Fens," but with much more exotic subjects. His "In a Persian Market," "In a Chinese Temple Garden," and "In a Monastery Garden" were very popular with theater orchestras and in sheet music form. Although this type of music is now out of style, it was well considered at the time--Ketelby was in some ways the last of a line that included Johann Strauss and Franz Lehar. From the Space Age Pop Music page: http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/ketelbey.htm I'd add that several albums of his compositions were recorded on classical labels in the 1950s and any of these are worth looking for. Respighi, Vaughn Williams, Mussorgsky, and William Grant Still are some better-known descriptive composers. And Sibelius--"Finlandia"--is another.

Its surprisingly good, theres a couple of tracks that made my hair tingle. The package is nice and the cut is better than the promo 12 I have, really full bass and nice punchy drums. I was a bit disappointed by the propellerheads remix of Goldfinger, but that may have been raised expectations after Ashley's rave a few weeks back, its sinuous and you keep expecting it to get sinewy, but it doesn't quite get there, lacking the punch of their version of OHMSS. The mantronik mix (Diamonds I think) was a tingler for sure, both versions of light my fire are great (dusty groove describe the 12tree mix and drum and bass, but I'd say its nearer a two-step/UK garage style). I thought the Groove Armada mix of 'Big spender' was going to be dreadful, but its a treat, lots of indie guitars. I still think that version of spinning wheel is messy. The version of Brel's 'If you go away'is hilarious, nice floaty beginning, then off on a furious euro/pop-trance tip. Theres a Nightmares on Wax remix of a tune I don't know that i liked in spite of my reservations of them as people (I hate tossers who send their 'representatives' over to talk to you). I'm going to start my next Thursday night with a full half hour off it.

I scoured all the requisite thrift stores but they're getting really picked through. I visited a great record dealer in Vancouver, however, and I also went to the Vancouver Record show. Between the two I scored the following. - "Bongo, Bongo, Bongo" by Preston Epps (great bongo exotica thing. One side is an extended bongo and bass jam with sounds of lions and tigers and various 'jungle sounds' thrown in, along with 'authentic' African chant music. Must date from '62 or something) - "Magoo in Hi-Fi" by Jim Backus and some orchestra. Mr Magoo stuff and music. A bit scratched but plays well, worth the 3 bucks i payed for it. - "Let's Do it Again" OST. Starred Jimmy Walker! Not so great OST except for the slow-funk 'Big Mac' - "Adventurers" OST by Quincy Jones. A good one. - "Singing Dogs: The Caroling Dogs of Copenhagen". Dog barking that is manipulated into notes to form melodies, then put over top accompanying music. From the 70's. A little goes a long way. - "Vibe-Brations" by Bobby Christian. Has a cool sitar & vibe track. - "L's GA" by Salvatore Martirano. The full title is too long to bother with. REALLY twisted electronics and effects out-there wierdness. from '68 I think. Not in perfect shape, but definitely good enough. i can't get enough of this sort of thing. - "Cincinatti Kid" OST. Not Lalo Schifrin's best, but it was dirt cheap. - "Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room" - "Farewell Aldebran" by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester. From '68. Has one very cool/strange tracks and a few others that'll grow on me. - "The Landlord" OST - "Devil's Angels" OST. Lot of fuzzed out Davie Allen stuff for an old biker flick. - "Electronic Evolutions" by Sear/Hayman - "Quiet Village" by Les Baxter - "Exotica II", "Exotica III" and "Hypnotique" by Martin Denny - "Ghandarva" by Beaver and Krause. Dull, useless, don't bother. - "Ragnarock" by Beaver and Krause, better than the above but not great. At least it's on Limelight. - "Welcome to the Ponderosa" by Lorne Greene. Great! I love this guy. - "Groovie Ghoulies" by Groovie Ghoulies. o.k. songs from this old TV show. Not much different than the Archies really. - "People of the Sky". Electronic thing from '69 on Nonesuch. In the Nonesuch vein. - "What's Up Tiger Lily" OST. Not bad. - "Candy" OST. Sealed copy. I have this already but its too noisy. It's good but not great. - some album by the Hobbits from '68. o.k. lyte psych. a bit scratched but only cost a buck. - "New Time Element" by Emil Richards. not bad. - "Mah-nah, mah-nah" by dave pell singers. - "Themes For Secret Agents" by Roland Shaw Orchestra. thrift store score. I also got some great CDRs from this record dealer, mostly of rare brazillian psych. At the record show he scored, amongst other great albums (helps to get in with the other dealers), some crank-hippy lp called "Rock is a 4 letter word". Looked nuts. Anyone out there have this?

He was 88. Sandell died Aug. 26 in Santa Monica, where he lived. Born in Malmo, Sweden, Sandell was raised in Denver and graduated from Denver University with a bachelor's degree in music in 1933. He studied in New York under the viola virtuoso William Primrose and on scholarship at the Royal Swedish Conservatory in Stockholm. Sandell moved to Los Angeles in 1938, where he played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Pasadena and Santa Monica Symphonies. Along with classical, he performed pop, swing and Latin music, and played with the string sections of big band luminaries Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey and Xavier Cugat. ``He was a very, very unusual man in that he had extremely eclectic background,'' said Sandell's stepson, Arlen Lessin, from New York City. ``He was a classical musician performing at the same time with great bands of Dorsey and James - and while Frank Sinatra was on the stage.'' Sandell also played in recording studios, including some of Sinatras recordings, Lessin said. ``They had a very unusual, symbiotic kind of relationship that hardly anybody knew about.'' Sandell worked for almost all the big Hollywood studios, playing on orchestral soundtracks for movies such as Citizen Cane. He also worked for the arranger Nelson Riddle. In 1946, Sandell received a U.S.O. commendation for his work entertaining the troops during World War II and a citation from the Treasury Department for organizing War Bond events in Hollywood. His life took a different turn the following year, when he invented the Gee-Bee, a kitchen sponge with a plastic handle for washing dishes. He sold the company to DuPont in 1953. Sandell continued to perform throughout the 1960s and '70s, and taught master classes in violin and viola. ``He didn't come from a family involved in music,'' said Lessin. ``His father was a newspaper man and owned an interest in a paper in Sweden. He apparently just had it, and was a child prodigy.'' Sandell is survived by Lessin; his third wife, Sheila Ruby; and a granddaughter. AP-NY-09-10-00 1449EDT ------ Jazz Saxophonist, Turrentine Dies By BETH GARDINER .c The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - Stanley Turrentine, a jazz saxophonist whose hit ``Sugar'' established him in the popular mainstream and influenced musicians in many other genres, died Tuesday. He was 66. Turrentine died at a New York hospital two days after suffering a stroke, said his agent, Robin Burgess. He lived in Fort Washington, Md., outside Washington, D.C. Turrentine, who played tenor saxophone, mixed jazz with blues, rock, rhythm and blues and pop. ``His impact on jazz was just astonishing,'' Burgess said. ``He had a large impact on fusion, electric jazz and organ trio music.'' Turrentine started his career playing with Ray Charles and Max Roach. He scored his biggest hit in 1970 with ``Sugar,'' which became something of a jazz standard, frequently performed and re-recorded by admirers. He grew up in Pittsburgh, surrounded by music. The piano player Ahmad Jamal lived nearby, and often visited to practice on the Turrentines' upright piano. Stanley's mother played piano, his father played tenor sax and his brother Tommy played trumpet. The brothers played at the Perry Bar in Pittsburgh, their first professional gig, while they were still in high school, and often performed together as adults. Turrentine began traveling with a band when he was 16, and later joined one of Charles' early rhythm and blues groups. He played in a jazz band headed by Roach and replaced the departing John Coltrane in Earl Bostic's band. Turrentine went solo in the 1960s. His blues-influenced riffs brought him commercial success with albums such as ``Stan 'The Man' Turrentine,'' ``Up at Minton's,'' and ``Never Let Me Go.'' When ``Sugar'' brought him fame outside the jazz world, some fellow musicians accused him of abandoning artistry to pander to popular taste. He said he preferred mixing genres to being boxed in. ``One day, my stepson and I were alphabetizing my albums over the years, and I noticed that they categorized me as a rock and roll player on certain albums, a bee-bop player on other albums, a pop player, a fusion player,'' he once said. ``And I'm just saying ... 'Gee, I'm just playing with different settings, but I'm still playing the same way.''' AP-NY-09-12-00 2222EDT ---- Nature Photographer/Filmmaker Tad Nichols Dead at 89 TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Tad Nichols, a photographer whose images of nature, wildlife and geology graced the covers of National Geographic and Arizona Highways magazines, died Wednesday after complications from a stroke. He was 89. Nichols took up photography as a child and studied under Ansel Adams and Brett Weston, said his granddaughter, Lisa DelViscovo. Aside from photography, Nichols also made nature films for Walt Disney's movie studio and documented scientific expeditions, including a 1944 Harvard University journey to Mexico's Paricutin volcano.

Date: 13 Sep 2000 08:18:25 -0400 I've just received the latest release list from All Music. Check this out!: RCA Spain continues their exciting, reasonably priced ($15.99) series of rare vocal, soundtrack and exotica albums of the 50s and 60s with: Helen Merrill, PAROLE E MUSICA (rare tracks recorded in Italy in the early 60s, previously avail. only as a pricey Japanese import) The Voices of Walter Schumann, EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN Sid Bass, FROM ANOTHER WORLD Esquivel, LATIN-ESQUE Jeanne Lee & Ran Blake, THE NEWEST SOUND AROUND Here's some other odds and ends from the list: -Lou NEITHER FISH NER FOWL And some VERY weird stuff.... Fans of the recent JUDY SPEAKS, private tape recordings of Judy Garland (which we have on hand) are bound to enjoy FOUR STRONG WOMAN, the latest entry in the CELEBRITIES AT THEIR WORST series, featuring nearly an hour of Courtney Cox cussing & complaining, Mae West pretending to be someone else on the phone, Tallulah Bankhead and buddies getting tipsy in the studio, and best of all, the recent, infamous Nina Simone radio interview in which an unwilling Nina complains, "I'm ILL and I can't stay on this phone very long!" and then spends the next 20 minutes attributing all her troubles and her current condition to "raaaacism!" $11.99 Various, SLEIGHED: THE OTHER SIDE OF XMAS--Songs for the holiday doldrums, incl You Aint Getting S*** for Xmas, I Farted on Santa's Lap, Santa Doesn't Cop Out on Dope, $11.99 Marilyn Chambers, STILL INSATIABLE--We are now taking pre-orders for AUTOGRAPHED copies of this new CD of spoken-word autobiographical reminiscences. Mae West's famous line--"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted"--never applied more than in the case of Chambers, who began as the girl on the Ivory Snow box and ended up as the queen of 70s hard-core porn. There's fascinating info here on the porn industry and Chambers' attempts to go legit, beginning with a small role in Streisand's OWL & PUSSYCAT--(All she'll say about Barbra is: "[She] was...just what you thought she is. I'm thinking, Omigod, how does anybody put up with.... She was just impossible.")--incl. 3 versions (2 vocal) of the theme from her latest film STILL INSATIABLE, $16.99 SHUT UP, LITTLE MAN!--Incredibly popular cult album--a MUST for any serious collection but not for the faint of heart. Here are the real-life rantings, ravings & ramblings of Peter & Raymond, two belligerent, aging white-trash alcoholic San Francisco roommates from 1987. Culled from 15 hours of raw recordings made by their frustrated neighbors, these 72 minutes of vitriolic, almost surreal, hysterical (in both senses of the word) verbiage, profanity and abuse, illustrate their twisted co-dependency and mirrors the wreckage of their lives ("You always giggle falsely!"...."You wanna stick me with that fork?"...."I got a decent dinner ready.

In fact, there are few "exotic" cuts in the purest sense of the term. The concept is more along the lines of "Beatles covers from all around the world and done mostly in non-rock styles", from moog to disco to hillbilly, etc., plus some rock groups singing Beatles songs in languages other than English. I can't remember which tracks are on which CDs. One has a great version of "Fool on the Hill" by Caterina Valente. I think that Klaus Beyer is on v.2, but I'm not sure. I would guess that if you have to choose between 2 & 3, I'd pick number 2. Experience has taught me that the later CDs in a series involve barrel scraping. Although, in this case, we're talking about a whole series devoted to barrel scrapings. Get them both if you can, and if you like the Beatles and / or weird cover versions. -- Kerry # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Stephen W.

Is it because of the sound of the music, the digital medium, or bad engineering? While listening to a Rhino Tennessee Ernie Ford collection the other day, I was shocked to hear the engineer popping radically different EQs in and out to minimize the the surface noise of the original 78. Whenever there were vocals, the sound was muffled and distant. Whenever the trumpet sounded, the sound suddenly got much sharper, and surface noise could be heard under it. I have an original 78 of the same song, and the vocals have ten times more presence and punch than the emasculated CD version. Come to think of it, most CD reissues sound bad compared to the originals. (The recent ASV Django and Mills Bros sets sound great though.)

Worth wrote: >I've noticed that the Louvin Brothers never sound the same on CD >either. Why is that? Is it because of the sound of the music, the >digital medium, or bad engineering? Probably a combination of all three. Because of the way recordings used to be made, there was a lot more air in the sound (bigger rooms, more large diaphram microphones, reverb created in acoustic chambers), and that's something that seems to come out more in the electro-magnetic medium. If you A-B an Esquivel LP with it's CD equivalent, you'll notice immediately that the CD doesn't sound as big. But I think it's also true that there's not much care put into the digital transfers on a lot of this stuff. The original tapes are baked so that they don't fall apart when played (even though the tapes from the 50's and early 60's are far superior than their counterparts from the late 60's and '70's - it's kind of like the films and TV shows from that era that have washed out color), and there's additional compression put on in the remastering that can flatten out the sound. CD's are convenient (of course so is McDonalds, but....) and are fine for current recordings that are, for the most part, digitally recorded (at some point in the chain, be it mixed down to DAT or recorded on ADAT or mastered in ProTools), but for the analog era, it's best to stick to the analog artifacts for the real deal. br cleve # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) searching the Exotica Mailing List Archive Date: 13 Sep 2000 19:45:46 +0200 searching the Exotica Mailing List Archive isn't possible, and it won't be easy to make it happen i think. i tried to set up a free Atomz search engine (try it out at http://gallery.uunet.be/Quiet/exotica_archive_search.htm ) but quickly ran into problems, because : 1) the free Atomz engine is limited to 500 pages, while the Exotica Mailing List Archive currently has 872 files; and 2) the Atomz engine sort of suffocates in those huge pages -- some of the Archive files are 1.3 MB big! so the search robot only indexed the first 30 or so pages. the prime service of Atomz costs a hefty $300 per year to crawl 1000 pages! should we all pay $2 to get it? too much trouble, i think. but even if we could set up an engine, the result of your search would be a link to one of these huge files, and you would be forced to download 1.3 MB just to read 1 article so to speak.

Lately, I've been scooping up hundreds of dirt cheap 78s and transferring them to CD. When I find a nice clean copy of a song, my home-made transfers sound better than the CD reissues of the same material. I'm doing almost no digital manipulation... only declicking on really loud pops. I've found some great music and great sound too. In fact, an acoustic recording I have of Stokowski and the Philadelphia orchestra from the early 20's sounds more focused and well balanced than half of my D-D-D classical cds. It certainly isn't all that difficult to get old recordings to sound good on cd. I think it must be that most of the engineers that produce the reissues are running on auto-pilot (or they're stone deaf) ...too much twiddling dials and scanning readouts and not enough real listening. Whenever I talk to a kid who doesn't remember "records", I'm amazed to find that they think that all records had tons of surface noise and skips. But I find that CDs are a heck of a lot more susceptible to serious damage from rough handling. Not only that, they sound better. I played my half speed mastered version of Dark Side of the Moon for a friend who had only heard it on CD. He was amazed at how much better the vinyl sounded. I think I've evolved into an audiphile luddite.

And I almost never go there. For a number of reasons. I don't like the owner. I don't like the stuff he has. And I don't like the way it's laid out. The guy's British. Except for the fact that he lifts weights, he reminds me of Al Stewart. (But then all British "fops" do.) He's the kind of record store owner who never clues into the fact that one of his customers might actually know something about the music they're buying. The merchandise is fairly eclectic actually but he himself is mostly interested in the new CD's at the front of the store. Pentangle, Van der Graaf Generator, Steve Hillage, Manzanera... you get the idea. He almost never has any vinyl I want but the other day there was a sign announcing "Vinyl Sale, $1 each". And to my delight, it was mostly of the easy listening/lounge variety. I had a nice little pile including Claus Ogerman's "Saxes Mexicanos" (a second copy for me) and 101 Strings "Sounds of Today" (with titles like "Karma Sitar" and "Strings for Ravi" and also includes "Blues for the Guru") when a young lad strolled in and loudly asked "Do you have any garage or punk records in the vinyl sale?" Kind of a dumb question. So the owner cut to the heart of the matter and replied "Look. There's nothing great here". Just as I came to a copy of Les Baxter's "Tamboo". Admittedly it isn't Steve Hillage but still... PS - I just CDR-ized and put into the "outbox" six or seven "minor" Les Baxter records so getting a real one was kinda cool. P.P.S. the store is called "Abba Zappa". I wonder how many stores there are in the world with that same name. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: alan zweig Subject: (exotica) Paul Griffin Date: 14 Sep 2000 19:42:58 -0400 Was Paul Griffin also "The Mustang"? It seems self-evident but I don't want to jump to conclusions (not that there are many people interested in the "controversy") I was making CDR's and I noticed that my two Paul Griffin LP's and my Mustang LP were all on Somerset. And the organ sounds the same. On the other hand, he plays quite differently on his 101 Strings LP ("Swing with Hammond Organ") so maybe the playing style isn't reliable.

Playlists and info are here: http://swampfire.diaboli.com/ (yep, named after the song). It's a mix of exotica, lounge, surf rock, easy listening, jazz, blues, big band, mambo, a bit of classical, some 70s glam rock, a dash of industrial and other assorted weird stuff. In other words, totally schizophrenic. Broadcasts are at 11am, 5pm, 11pm and 5am CST (and GMT). There are 5 other shows on the the network as well, including Vault of the Lost, which plays old time radio theatre shows.

well well well  this is something that, while i worked in such industrial dinosaurs as racine and west allis wisconsin, truly the heartland of the musically unenlightened,  i have never encountered someone with the net savvy to put together a sight dedicated to the promotion of what i call hair bands and their "music"  while i can hear the groans, i was poised to see a grateful dead concert in early 1983, shortly after the arrival of mtv, and i asked a bar patron next to me about his view of a video that was playing on mtv at the moment, and his comment was that he liked the dead and just couldn't  get the hair band thing.  further, at a point in time shortly before the above incident,  i was visiting a woman at her dormitory and when i flipped through some of her friends albums, i found that mtv was dictating musical tastes to MY generation.  but what i was seeing was albums like duran duran (or as i have always liked to call them sirhan sirhan)  thriller, ghosts in the machine and 1999 (which i have to admit, is one of my all time favorite albums - - must've listened to that sucker 1999 times) not hair band albums,  i remember the bon jovi sensation and the guns n roses sensation, but i always wondered who that this music appealed to.

I'd have to say it's definitely one of the more amazing reissues I've heard in a while. It's a big sort of bleep-bloop-squonk affair. At times it reminds me of Raymond Scott's electronic music, particularly some of the songs on the recent 2 CD set. Some of the songs are sinister. Some of them are cute. Some of them have an air of humor about them. Some are very rhythmic, but not what I would consider funky. It's for sure an interesting thing to hear for people interested in early electronic music. It's also good for Umiliani fans. I would say the more open you are to strange lounge/electronic/jazzy experimentation, the more you will enjoy it. Does that help anyone?

Date: 15 Sep 2000 15:34:06 -0700 (PDT) With so may exotica friends posting about various radio programs I feel funny mentioning another one that you might not have time to listen too. This one has a special significance for me as it led me to dig deeper in the world of old records and artists like Esquivel, Les Baxter and Martin Denny. WICN just started broadcasting on the web this month. I would like to direct your attention to The Saturday Jazz Matinee on 12 noon to 4PM (EST) is hosted by Joe Slezik. There web page is www.wicn.org Joe started DJ-ing as a young man just over 40 years ago. That golden age of records around 1957-1959 and he is still playing the same records! For instance. He has a Jack Jones LP called “Dear Heart”. He played the song “Thank Heaven For Little Girls” (I hope I got this all right) right after his daughter was born. And he wrote the fact and date on the record cover. This has got to be the early 60’s right? Well I was there during a pledge drive and he was still playing it! I think Joe missed the entire Lounge revival, didn’t know it even happened. When all these compact disk reissues started coming out I noticed that there was this entire black hole of material he seemed to avoid. Since I discovered Baxter and Denny through the UL reissues I noticed that whenever Joe played these artists he always managed to find the least exotic records possible. You won’t hear any mambo’s or cha-cha’s although he did mention Perez Prado a few weeks ago but didn’t play him. And the closest he gets to the Bossa Nova is playing Astrud Gilberto and the Frank Sinatra Reprise LP. But this program really swings. It’s still great. And you will get a really good idea what radio sounded like 40 years ago. But then you not might like it. A list member who visited me on a Saturday to trade records listened to the program in the car for a while. He told me he had to change the station to hard rock for a while to, and I quote: "wash my brain clean of it". Maybe you can help me figure out why the records we like to talk about here on the list were mostly ignored when they first came out? It's so obvious listening to a time capsule of a program like this one. Domenic P.S.

Date: 16 Sep 2000 00:57:31 -0400 I have to bring up that controversial subject of which many people have and will continue to have strong opinions... ie. Napster. I mention it as I only this week "joined" this community. It all began when I saw a recent German film a few weeks back with a song done in German by Francoise Hardy called "Traume". Finding such a thing here is impossible, even while Quebec is the most likely place if any you'd turn up her music in North America. I asked a few contacts in Germany without much success as it turns out there is almost nothing on CD of hers in German, and a used record store there would be the only chance. So, I asked the guy in my office (remember I mentioned him before, the guy that downloads stuff that would make you cringe in horror... ) to search a few names for me. To my surprise, he turned up a pile of Francoise Hardy (not the German piece mind you) and a lot more by a number of big names in the German Schlager scene. I was curious so I figured I'd give it a try myself as I have a T1 connection. I don't know about any of you, but music from people like Gitte Haenning, Wencke Myhre or Heidi Bruhl is virtually unobtainable in any store on this continent I know of, yet all of the above were listed and files quite available through the community. Same goes for similar Italian, Spanish and French artists, few of which you're going to find here and many of whom I've never even heard of! This is not music you can readily find in most stores so it was a real treat to be able to listen to some of it. Some of it of course would best be left in a vault somewhere, and I say this as a more disturbing discovery was the sheer volume of people that seemed to have Heino files available!!! But I can say with certainty that you can find anything from Heino to Nurse with Wound! Even a quick check on Boyd Rice turned up some 40 files! I sense there are two very different users profiles of this service: Those that want the latest pop or traditional rock, and any of the scores of "users" with Britney Spears or Zeppelin in their "shared folder" would qualify. Then there are those with easy listening, more offbeat, or even classical music interests. The catch here is the latter are from all over the world so you will see all sorts of things you have probably never seen or heard of from say a German or French users "holist". And that was what I found so intriguing. As a way to simply get to hear things you could not hope to otherwise hear, there is some merit to this service. It's not like any large mail order outfits stock the stuff or feature clips online. The few specialized services who do sell this stuff are expensive. After being subscribed to it for a few days I have to admit the concept is positively ingenious and the rebel in me sees it as a way to overcome the limits that make it impossible in this day and age to be able to buy a lot of this music. And believe me I buy a LOT of music and I search high and low to get it! I don't want to fuel another debate but just to let others know of the possibilities out there. What people choose to do with the data they download is of course another issue and something each person must decide on their own. Making the music available through an open medium like the internet is just another form of information sharing, and to me this is what makes the internet such an amazing thing. One may argue that the fact that the internet cannot be controlled by governments or lawyers is in many ways a positive thing, but I won't go there as there are two sides to every argument...

It's a puzzle. I got this (via Johan himself) and loved the music: groovy organs and all, that's really a floorshaker. Cover art is great, too. Why the hell have Sensateria to spoil this amazing record with wrong tracklisting and duplication of tracks? Also, another thing is a bit disappointing, in my opinion: many tracks have already been reissued in other discs. Anyway, I tried my best to figure out what the correct tracklisting is, and here's the results: 1. Quik: Bert's Apple Crumble (also on Decca's "The Mod Scene" and Kent's "Rhythm'n'Blue Eyed Soul") 2. 3. Dr. John: One Night Late 4. Keith Mansfield: Boogaloo 5. Wynder K. Frog: I'm A Man 6.

Certain Lions And Tigers: Fever 11. 12. 13. Brian Auger: Kiko (also on Drive In's "Out Of The Cool, vol. 3") 14. Keith Mansfield: Boogaloo (same as track 4) 15. Bob Crewe Orchestra: Queen's Black Beads (also on Partners In Crime's "Mood Mosaic - The Haschish Party") 16. James Clarke: Wild Elephants (also on Blow Up's "Blow Up, vol. 2" 17. Jack Arel: Following You (also on Virgin's "House Of Bamboo Presents Jack Arel") 18. Merced Blue Notes: Mama Rufus (also on Kent's "Mod Jazz") 19. 20. The tracks I didn't already know and couldn't relate to proper track number are the remaining: - Dudley Moore Trio: Strip Club - Big Jim H: Blues For The Keyboard - Tony Hatch: Herbin' - Mohawks: Soul Organ - Carnaby Street Orchestra: Funky Fanfare - Pierre Dutour: Teenager's House The missing track is definetely: - Ennio Morricone: Allegretto per signora but you can find it in the free 7" which comes with n.1 of "Il Giaguaro" magazine). Hope it helps who bought this boot.

Well, I don't know if I would bet on that... they've barely begun to make an effort to control it, and control it they might. All of the recent court decisions have been going the way of the corporations. A solid commentary here: http://www.suck.com/daily/2000/09/08/ And now they've lobbied the FCC into requiring copy prevention technology on digital tvs, vcrs and set-top boxes: http://www.latimes.com/business/20000915/t000086946.html A rollback of legal home-use taping seems in the works. Along with other concepts in the works (some of the e-publishing schemes), this could be setting up a future where you're not *allowed* to own anything... everything is pay-per-use instead. Then there's the college kid in Oklahoma who was raided and had his computer equipment seized after the RIAA complained: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-2783386.html?tag=st.ne.1002.tgif.ni A quote from an official: "We're doing some forensic review of the hard drive and determining what is there," Eaton said. "After we finish that review, we will evaluate the amount of substance he was distributing." Substance? Sounds like the "war on drugs". If hard-line laws are passed, and backed up with hard-line enforcement, this will not be a thought-provoking parlor talk issue anymore.

(AP) - Musician Bob Foster, who played steel guitar at the Grand Ole Opry and on many country music records, including the first recording session of Patsy Cline, died Tuesday. He was 71. Foster had suffered from diabetes and heart problems. Foster, a native of Greenville, S.C., moved to Nashville in 1946. He worked first with Red Foley, and went on to play on many hits, including some by Carl Smith, Kitty Wells, Webb Pierce and Gene Autry. He performed at the Opry from 1947-1963. Foster was hired to play on Cline's first recording session, which resulted in the song ``A Church, A Courtroom and then Goodbye.'' ---- EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) - Jack Cooper, a former drummer for the singing group the O'Jays, died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack. He was 55. Cooper was the drummer on several O'Jays albums, including ``Live in London,'' released in 1974. He left the group in the 1970s and continued to work in Cleveland area nightclubs. The O'Jays, a Philly-style soul vocal trio, released a string of popular songs during the group's peak years in the 1970s. --- By Rod Ohira Star-Bulletin Hawaii-born professional wrestler and actor Charles "Charlie" Kalani is best known as a villain. But in real life, an Iolani School football coach, the Rev. Kenneth Bray, saved Kalani from turning into a bad guy. "Attending Iolani turned his life around," the former Doris Peterson said about her husband of 47 years, who died Aug. 22 of a heart attack in Lake Forest, Calif., at age 70. "He was a street kid getting into trouble and would have ended up in reform school if Father Bray hadn't helped him out by bringing him to Iolani. He felt Iolani saved him." Kalani, who began wrestling in 1967 as "Professor Toru Tanaka," also appeared in more than 20 films -- most notably "Perfect Weapon," "Running Man," "Last Action Hero" and "Missing in Action 2" -- and television series such as "Airwolf," "The A-Team" and "The Fall Guy." Contrary to his real-life personality, Kalani always portrayed a villain. "He was just a gentle, good, soft-hearted island boy," Doris Kalani said. "And he had to work very hard all his life. "It was hard not to be bitter when he got into wrestling and show business because he had to change his personality. He always told our kids, 'I'm your father at home and other people will not know the real me.' " Kalani was a tackle and place-kicker in football. After graduating from Iolani in 1949, he attended Weber Junior College in Ogden, Utah, where he met his wife in 1952. Sol Naumu of Pearl City attended Compton College and recalls playing against his former Iolani teammate and good friend. "Charlie was playing linebacker and I remember going through the line and him hitting me hard," Naumu said. "Then he stole the ball from me and ran for a touchdown. "Everybody thought I gave him the ball." Naumu, who last visited with his friend in 1998, described Kalani as "an easygoing guy, always kidding people." "He was a happy Hawaiian from Waimanalo," he added. "He was very kind and compassionate but if you got him mad, watch out." Kalani was drafted in 1955 and discharged in 1966 as an Army sergeant. He began jujutsu studies in 1939 and held the rank of Danzan-Ryu Black Belt. Survivors, all of whom live in California, include his wife, daughters Cheryle Kalani and Karen Kalani-Beck, son Carl, sisters Jeanette and Charlene, brother Robert, and six grandchildren. The family plans to honor Kalani's request to have his ashes scattered at sea in Hawaii later this year. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: cheryl Subject: (exotica) Playlist For Space Bop, September 17 Date: 16 Sep 2000 23:41:55 -0400 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm Eastern time on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada, and on RealAudio (real time only, for now) at: http://www.ckut.ca As usual, all comments, questions, and feedback welcome.

On another topic, I hear from Scott Smith, Ferrante and Teicher's lead guy, that this release of an old soundtrack they did (never released before) is waiting on new enhancements from the duo. Apparently the music doesn't stand well on its own (no real endings...just cues and that sort of thing), so F&T are adding new prepared piano performances to make it whole. Don't know how this will work, but we probably won't see this until early 2001 now. I am definitely looking foward to this!

Indeed. One clumsy alternative, which doesn't help us at all on a mass basis: Fortunately, they are all plain text files. So if you had the disc space (bigger and cheaper by the minute these days, it seems), you could take a sledgehammer approach and simply download the whole archive to your computer, then use text-search utilities to find topics.

Usually he says nothing, just looks at me like you'd look at a mentally challenged person you pity, but on this occasion he pointed out the Jackie Gleason "Ooooh" record on the top of the pile and smiled. (I don't know what it is about that record but this was the first playable copy I've found of that, after five or six previous tries.) I wasn't sure what his smile meant but it looked less judgemental than it usually does. Then again, it could have just been that this was one of those British pressings (you know, with the more pliable, shinier record jacket) and this guy is such a British chauvinist that maybe it made him appreciate the record more than usual. I know it's hard to work in a used record store and not be a little judgmental about people's purchases. I used to heap scorn upon the kids who came in looking for that Bob James record that whoever the hell (DeLaSoul??) sampled. They wanted Bob James 1 but they had no interest in 2, 3, 4 or anything else I might point out to them. But this guy is just judgemental period. End of rant. (Abba to Zappa, my ass. More like Abba and Zappa and not much in between.) # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Helen Barrell" Subject: (exotica) Burt's Apple Crumble, Blow Up and gangsters Date: 18 Sep 2000 08:38:01 GMT Giovanni said: > 1.

Back in my jazz announcer days, I remember that Pausa was a GREAT jazz label! George Shearing, Laurindo Almeida, Art van Damme, the Singers Unlimited, Oscar Peterson and many other greats had records on Pausa in the late '70s/early 80s. They also released a lot of material from Germany's MPS label in this country (some of the stuff on the "Snowflakes" comp probably came out on Pausa in the USA). Pausa was one of my favorite labels from the early '80s. Haven't seen any new Pausa releases in more than 15 years, so I guess they're gone. For some reason, I've got it in my head that Verve owns their catalog now.

I did! It was the last label that Jazz label great Norman Granz ran. There was a wonderful Art Tatum release on the label (well after Tatum's passing, of course) and also, there was a flutist by the name of Sherry Winston that recorded "Do It For Love" for them. This album was very hard to get from the distributors, as I recall. When I worked at Tower, this album was getting a airplay and our inability to stock the album frustrated a lot of potential buyers. It was a "fusion" affair, if I am not mistaken. >Who owns the music on this label these days? I would not be surprised if >someone here on the list knows this! Well, I didn't know this, but I found out from a web page that the rights seem to be held by Verve Forecast, which is fitting, seeing that Norman Granz founded Verve. I don't know whether the other artists on the label make it the Pausa that refreshes, Brian Phillips # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: (exotica) Sorry, no great records Date: 18 Sep 2000 10:27:53 -0400 >I know it's hard to work in a used record store and not be a little >judgmental about people's purchases. When I worked at Tower, life wasn't much better. If Barbara Streisand so much as belched, the fans would start calling the store within seconds ("Is Color Me Belch" in yet? Well, when are you getting it!?). There is a store here in Atlanta that I used to dislike, because the people were rude and the used records overpriced. A garage/Beat comp, Pebbles 20, was being sold for 15.00 and I could have bought it new for five dollars! They have switched out the rude folks and when I bought several records and a 78 (which I will have on my site soon) by a potential cousin of Dick Hyman, with the name of Dick Beavers. When they saw the 78, they said, "You're buying this for the same reason we bought it, huh?" I replied, "Yes" and they said, "Go ahead and take it!' THE worst place I have ever been in was the Record Collector in Los Angeles. I asked for a specific Classical record, which he had for twenty dollars. I didn't want to pay that much and within seconds, one of the workers came right up to me and said, "You won't spend twenty dollars!? That's like a burger, fries and a soda!" Needless to say, I warn anyone I know away from that place. I was in another store and was having a nice conversation with one of the fellows and I mentioned that I was in another store where they practically demanded that I buy a record from them, one of the guys, said, "Record Collector? That guy's a jerk!" I had not told him the name of the store before he said that!

When I started getting into this stuff I found a used “Wild Cool and Swingin’ UL comp. I asked the owner about where he puts “lounge” stuff (it was new to me) and he said that stuff was hard to categorize and he didn’t know where to put it. They put Les Baxter on the speakers for me! I didn’t buy it “The Poor People Of Paris” scared me. I still can’t get used to it. Well now there is a used CD exotica slot, but it’s always empty, sold out I assume. But he does have exotica/lounge records and they sell for less than the other over inflated used record stores in the area. One nice thing he did for me. I bought a used Nina Simone Phillips recording that I thought was a concert but was another of her many comps. I brought it back in for a trade a ½ year later when I was in town again and in conversation told him I was returning it since I had all the material on her other CD’s. He gave me full credit for it! The last time I was in there was this January with another list member. I like talking with these folks because you always learn something, maybe it was the cold weather but I wasn’t getting anywhere this time. On my way out with my purchase I smiled and said “See you next year!” And it was worth it for the perplexed expression on J’s face. It’s September now…the way things look I might not get there until next year. But it’s the only place in town, besides CD Spins, where you can still get decent CD’s for under 8 dollars. Domenic P.S.

Well, the source I thought would confirm it does not include the motif. It did have other almost stereotypical Japanese tunes, but didn't hear that one. Sorry I chimed in without confirmation.

Part of my interest is that I teach in an Asian American Studies department, and part of what I deal with are ethnic stereotypes and whatnot. But this is the only specifically *musical* "stereotype" I can think of -- that is, that little musical flourish already automatically denotes "Asian music." It's already musical shorthand of sorts. And the other reason I wanna know is that it's been bugging me for the longest time now... Man, it's gotta come from somewhere... A colleague of mine claims it's from Gilbert and Sullivan, but he's not sure. And as for the seven-note phrase associated with "Injuns:" I'm afraid I'm not even sure how it goes! Can you hum a few notes? =) Oh, and I got another one!!! It's those four notes that are played after someone, say, in a comedy skit, gets humiliated or embarrassed. Kind of like the musical "Doh!" (as said by Homer Simpson): it goes "wah wah wah waaaaahhhh." Know what I'm talking about? Does it come from vaudeville, perhaps? I just figure that if someone knows, it'll be on this list.

Can you hum a few notes? =) If you watch an Atlanta Braves baseball game, you'll hear that one soon enough. Putting both tunes together, I notice that they share some notes. For those who know both tunes, hum them in the same key to yourself and you'll see what I mean. I just noticed it. >Oh, and I got another one!!!

I cannot verify that this is the exact source, but I know of two songs that end this way, "On Moonlight Bay", but I would venture that the cartoon favorite "How Dry I Am" may play a part in it. I have almost never heard anyone sing a sober version of that one and it could be possible that playing a well-known ending of a song about how drunk one is could play a part in this.

You could ask that question of Ms. Fondle, because she would be more than happy to tell you that Scott Walker does a great version of this Jacques Brel song.

Close, but no cigar. And no Tiki Room 45s, cassettes, or CDs, either. In fact, finding Tiki Room merchandise anywhere in the park is rather impossible. Luckily Disneyland continues to play the original show audio, whereas the one at Disney World plays what is by all reports a ruined 'modernized' show which I have yet to see. -Brett At 12:02 PM 9/19/2000 -0700, Jane Fondle wrote: >--- Brett Dunst wrote: > > > > I was in Disneyland's Tiki Room just the other day, > > and can't get that > > particular rendition of HWC out of my head.

The song is "Jackie" Thanks so much, Brian, for posting the lyrics. I can't sing to save my life, but if I were ever magically granted the ability to flawlessly sing one song, it would be that, ala Scott Walker.

I would recommend the CD 'Chop Suey Rock - Songs About the Orient Vol 1' on the 'Hot and Sour' label if you want to hear various interpretations of this Oriental Theme. 14 songs from mostly 60's garage-type bands, with one of the artists being Ken Nordine performing 'Hot Saki' Roughly half the songs on this CD start out with the nine note oriental theme - or slight variations of this theme. It's quite amazing how all these various bands, to put the listener in an oriental mindset, incorporate that 9 note theme. There is also a Volume 2, but I don't own that one yet. Wayno did the cover art for Volume 1. As for the Indian theme .... is this theme identical to the controversial 'Tomahawk Chop' song that the Atlanta Braves and Florida Seminoles use during their games -- the song that is chanted as the crowd move their forearms upright and forward in a 'first down' type motion? I noticed after doing a search at CDNow for 'tomahawk' that a selection called 'Brandishing the Tomahawk' appears on various Native American Chant compilations. Perhaps the 'Tomahawk Chop' is derived from this 'Brandishing the Tomahawk' chant?

After all the anticipation associated with going through five or six unplayable copies, I thought this would surely disappoint me. But it didn't. Of course you have to have a thing for "choir" records like I do but if you do, this is a good one. It really is what it says it is. Lots of "oooohing" and not much else. I generally prefer wordless vocals especially when the alternative is the kind of unison - harmony-less - singing that Ray Conniff and Percy Faith's "singers" got into in the sixties. The problem with this record, like many Jackie Gleason ones, is that it's so quiet that you really do have to have a perfect copy to appreciate it. It's like Jackie Gleason was a pioneer of "ambient" records or something. And even this relatively quiet copy isn't quite quiet enough. But I like it. Relatively speaking of course. Not the way I like the Anita Kerr singers but not everyone can be a genius. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "james brouwer" Subject: (exotica) Playlist for "The Back Ward" September 20, 2000 Date: 20 Sep 2000 20:37:51 GMT "The Back Ward" can be heard Wednesday mornings at 10 on CFRU 93.3fm in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

Funny you should mention this tune. I'm about to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, and make an exoticaring soft pop CD which starts with that tune. The reason it would kill two birds is because I also have to make a housewarming CD for my friend Moe and he's been looking for that song (and I got the record recently.) It's not quite my idea of soft pop but it's close enough.

I have both as well as another library LP called "Music for Fun" on Mondiophone. On this last one all of the 24 pieces are just over 1 minute long. I remember reading somewhere that he did a huge number of library records. Of course what comes first to mind with all of these records is Perrey and Kingsley but that should come as no surprise. All three of them seem to have been done with Nino Nardini. BTW, does anyone know if this is the same Nini Nardini of Desco fame?

Anyway, I thought I'd heard it all with Hugo Strasser, Germany's own answer to Lawrence Welk, doing a psychedelic sounding cover of "Black Magic Woman". Then I found the LP it came from and it had an even stranger version of "Indian Reservation" (which appeared recently on Nymphomania vol.3) and is in my opinion at least better than the original. Well in a recent Napster search I turned up an MP3 of Hugo doing "School's Out"!!! I mean Hugo Strasser covering Alice Cooper!!! Those drugs must have been some powerful in the 70's, that's all I can say! So if you see this piece on Nymphomania Vol. 4, if and when it appears, you can say that you heard about it here first...

If I were to make the argument AGAINST biff, bam and zoom, Jackie Gleason would not be my first choice of an artist to make it with. Maybe Percy Faith or Michel Legrand or Nelson Riddle or even Les Baxter, but not Jackie. So if you don't like Jackie's records, you won't get an argument from me. Personally I usually prefer his record COVERS to his records. Having said that, bif bam and zoom do get tiring sometimes and at those times, I need the kind of rest that "ooooh" can provide. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kevin Crossman Subject: (exotica) Re: Tiki Room 45s (was Hawaiian War Chant lyrics?)

Oh, you don't want to see it - believe me. It was quite the disappointment. And the "tiki with the red eyes" who rises up in the middle of the show to threaten the birds scared the living daylights out of Alexander (who was 3 at the time).

Date: 21 Sep 2000 20:40:13 -0400 Hi, all, This Sunday, September 24th, on the CBS Sunday Morning News show (starts at 9 AM on the East Coast), Charles Osgood will host a short feature about my partner, Pat Conte, and his Secret Museum. They filmed yours truly, Citizen Kafka, in at least 2 segments, but the piece has been shortened from a projected feature of about 20 minutes down to a short 8 minutes, so I may be lying on the cutting room floor (actually in the uncharted silicon darkness of raw video footage deep inside a hard drive in CBS's editing suite). If you see a bald guy in a Hawaiian shirt with no front teeth, that's me! Anyway, it's still worth a look, since Pat's home/museum is unique; over 50,000 78 rpm records, tons of strange and wonderful artifacts, and Pat himself. They shot this over several weeks and really did an in-depth job, so we'll see what's left! Tape it if you're sleeping that early... take care, citizen kafka -- Listen ANY TIME at: http://www.citizenkafka.com/sma/sound/soundmain.html Citizen Kafka, Producer, "The Secret Museum of the Air" every Tuesday 6 to 7 PM EST WFMU 91.1 FM http://wfmu.org/ then go to 'listen to wfmu' # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Will Louviere Subject: (exotica) Strange Napaster finds Date: 20 Sep 2000 21:50:32 -0700 >Funny to be reporting strange Napster finds but yes even this hotbed of >much mainstream music has its moments.

Had I known you wanted it I would have sold it to you The purpose of my making these CDs is to get rid of records, not acquire new ones, however clean and playable they may be. Like I said, Little Marcy is one of the few artists who actually benefits from the odd skip or pop. Anyway the CD is 60 minutes - 40 cuts - of Little Marcy mostly singing about her best friend Jesus or her worstest friend the Devil, with a few minutes of nursery rhymes. Then there's cut 41 which is side one of "Little Marcy visits Smokey Bear", a musical journey crying out for a Broadway revival. (Maybe Barney could play Marcy.) Anyone want a copy, write me privately.

They just sent me their older CD which sounds a lot there new one, “Smokin”.

Sure looks like it, which makes sense because (if I read my Deutsch correctly) it comes from a film called Morderspeil (oomlat over the o) which sounds like it has something to do with murder or death!

Picked up a Perez Prado LP on Camden called “Mambo Happy!” There is a vocal track with Johnny Hartman on it called “Wild”. This LP seems to be a mish-mash of various sessions. A record “designed for dancing” with the other tracks featuring other vocalists or sax players. Did Hartman and Prado record anything else? Don’t you just love it when you find out 2 artists you like have worked together? A few months ago our friend in Taiwan was asking who might have been the female vocalist on his Prado comp and it was not Rosemary Clooney? This LP has a duet with Abel del Rivero and Cecilia Conzales. Maybe Conzales did a solo number with Prado? Domenic P.S.

Many months ago in the early days of eBay, I bid on a cheap album based on one of the shortest write-ups I've ever seen: "Gals & Pals, 1960s vocal jazz group, sealed." Luckily, no one else bid and it was in my hands a few days later for $4.20 including postage. The album was Gals and Pals, Fontana SRF 67538. Gals and Pals turned out to be a Swedish vocal jazz group, three men and three women, something along the lines of the Double Six of Paris. They covered a nice selection of tunes, including "Bossa Nova U.S.A.," "Sould Dance," "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," and "Dat Dere." All in all, a very good deal. Jump forward to last week. I should mention that in the meantime I have become a Bacharach fanatic, buying every all-Burt album I can find. So I occasionally go to eBay and browse for Bacharach listings. I spot an entry for another Gals and Pals album, "Something for Everyone, which turns out to be an all-Bacharach album. (An odd title for non-Burt fans). Hoo-wee, baby. Starting price is 9.99 GBP, a bit stiff, but geez: vocal jazz AND Bacharach! So I stake out this item and gleefully watch it for a week, getting up at 4AM to make my last-minute strafing run. I had just received a $75 windfall, so I was ready to get serious. I hit eBay. Two other bids now, price up to 12.99 GBP. No problem. I can top that. I add 2.00 GBP. Outbid. Add 2.00 GBP. Outbid. Add 2.00 GBP. Outbid. Add 5.00 GBP. Outbid. Damn! Add 10.00 GBP. Outbid. I keep bidding, the clock ticking away. Finally, I'm well past 75 pounds with no end in sight. I try a couple more times, but end up conceding that "mahnahmahnah" from the UK has deeper pockets than I. I am now deeply depressed. What are the chances I will ever see this album again? I will only dream about its never-to-be-heard pleasures. Then I think to check the net. After all, if I was willing to pay 75 pounds, I ought to be able to find it somewhere. No luck on Musicfile or Gemm. No luck doing an AltaVista search. Finally, I try a combination of "Fontana" and "Gals," and get a pile of stuff that includes a link to Nickleodeon Records, a venerable store in San Diego. They have a sealed copy for $10!! I send an email. I get an answer that evening. I call. I order. Two days later, it's in my hands. And after all that, it does turn out to be a great album. Two rare Bacharach tunes--"Crosstown Bus" and "Close"--delicious harmonies, a gentle swing, and a better-than-average selection of Bacharach tunes. Even liner notes by Burt himself, who'd heard them when he toured Scandanavia with Marlene Dietrich. Once again, the depths of the vinyl vaults proves to still have undiscovered treasures. Happy Happy, Joy Joy!

I can certainly relate to the emotional highs and lows that accompany the pursuit of a desired slab of vinyl. For me, that's what makes record collecting so much fun. I am familiar with Gals and Pals. I've never seen an original LP but do recall seeing Dusty Groove selling a couple of their CD's a couple of years ago. Former Swedish listee Ingemar set me up with a Gals and Pals tape and it was very nice, indeed. I'm looking at the track list now and sure enough there are a few Bacharach tunes on there along with I Left My Heart In San Francisco and Blue on Blue. The other side of the tape is another popular Swedish vocalist, Monica Zetterlund. Dusty was selling her CD at the same time, no more tho.. Another group from Sweden and very similar in sound to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 6* are The Gimmicks. Again, I've never seen an actual LP from this outfit, but thanks to Ingemar, I was able to snag a CD. The Espresso Espresso comp has a track or two from the Gimmicks. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: alan zweig Subject: Re: (exotica) Favoriate Record of the Year So Far Date: 23 Sep 2000 23:45:30 -0400 At 03:22 PM 9/23/00, Brad Bigelow wrote: > >Jump forward to last week.

Tell us what you got. (I also love all-Bacharach records but I don't pursue it at ebay.) Here are two great ones and I'd be willing to bet you don't have one of them. (And you should.) The Dells sing Dionne Warwick's Greatest Hits (and you know who wrote them!) Jury Krytiuk "Portrait of Burt Bacharach" This is the one I expect you don't have. Jury Krytiuk was involved in a lot of records out of Winnipeg and Western Canada - mostly on small labels like Cynda and Arc - but it was mostly polka and bad country. This is a really sweet record.

"Evidence Music returns with a highly- anticipated series of five CD packages, including a 2-CD box of unreleased albums, by Sun Ra, the colorful jazz bandleader whose association with interplanetary travel, ancient Egypt, and big band and electronic keyboard innovation made him one of the 20th Century's most influential and eccentric musical icons. Evidence has been working on the series for four years -- since issuing its award-winning Sun Ra compilation The Singles in 1996. All but Lanquidity emanate from Sun Ra's own label, El Saturn Records. All packages contain extensive liner notes, historical documentation and photographs. Easily one of the oddest personalities in the history of jazz, the bandleader, composer and keyboardist known as Sun Ra claimed to be an extraterrestrial from the planet Saturn. Actually born Herman 'Sonny' Blount in Birmingham, Alabama in 1914, he studied music at Alabama A&M University and became a big-band leader in his home town. Eventually, he moved to Chicago where he would write arrangements for Fletcher Henderson, change his name to Le Sony'r Ra, and start his first 'Arkestra' with saxophonists and band members-for-life John Gilmore, Marshall Allen and Pat Patrick. In the mid and late '50s, he prolifically recorded 45s and LPs for his own Saturn label, even accompanying and writing arrangements for doo-wop groups. His earliest albums were for Transition Records and later Delmark Records in 1957. In 1961, he moved to New York where he continued to record for El Saturn and the indie ESP-Disk label. Sun Ra continued his extensive concert date schedule into the early '90s, and even got as far as signing with A&M Records. He left this planet on May 30, 1993, but his music remains an ongoing source of wonderment and inspiration for all who discover it, as it was for musicians as diverse as George Clinton, Sonic Youth and Phish. Thanks to Evidence Music's reissue program -- five important new CDs in addition to 16 earlier reissues -- his most important music continues to become available for future generations.This album, When Angels Speak of Love, originally recorded in 1963 and released in 1966, is the rarest of Sun Ra's self-released albums on his own El Saturn label. Only a handful of the original pressing still remain. The album was recorded during Sun Ra's New York residency. Considered by many to be his richest period. This reissue preserves what has been a lost artifact from the 'New Thing' revolution in jazz in New York City's Greenwich Village in the mid-60s." $14.00 RA, SUN & HIS ARKESTRA: The Great Lost Sun Ra Albums: Cymbals/ Crystal Spears 2CD (ECD 22217). "This 2-CD box is comprised of two albums originally intended for release on ABC's Impulse Records but never issued. After Impulse abruptly ended a licensing agreement with Sun Ra's El Saturn label, the two unreleased album masters were boxed up and returned to Saturn, where they languished in obscurity for the next 27 years. Evidence has remixed the original four-track tapes down to two-track stereo. Former Impulse Records head Ed Michel wrote the notes, which chronicle the short, strange history of Sun Ra's major label tenure." $27.00 RA, SUN & HIS ASTRO INFINITY ARKESTRA: Pathways to Unknown Worlds/Friendly Love CD (ECD 22218). "This package combines two LPs on one CD. Pathways was originally released on vinyl in the mid-70s at the very end of Sun Ra's relationship with Impulse and remained in print for less than one year. Evidence has remixed the original four track tapes and has added a track that was intended for the original album but omitted for technical reasons that have now been corrected. Like Cymbals and Crystal Spears, Friendly Love is an early 70s album that is being released for the first time. Sun Ra biographer John Szwed wrote the liner notes, and provides an in-depth glimpse into Sun Ra's recording and Evidence's mastering techniques." $14.00 RA, SUN & HIS ARKESTRA: Greatest Hits: Easy Listening for Intergalactic Travel CD (ECD 22219). "Of course Sun Ra never had 'hits' per se. But for those wondering where to begin when buying their first Sun Ra album, this is it! Greatest Hits contains tracks from 15 different El Saturn Ra albums, one movie soundtrack and two 45 singles spanning the artist's peak period of 1956-73. These 'easy to listen to' tracks have proven to be among the most popular with Sun Ra fans, and demonstrate Ra's evolution and innovations during this period. They were also selected for their musical 'accessibility', relatively speaking, of course." $14.00 RA, SUN & HIS ARKESTRA: Lanquidity CD (ECD 22220). "Lanquidity has become the most valuable of all Sun Ra albums, vinyl copies presently fetching $400 or more despite the fact that it was originally released in 1978. The album was originally on the 'micro-label' Philly Jazz, owned by a Philadelphia recording engineer who knew Sun Ra from his live performances on University of Pennsylvania's WXPN. The album has become a much in demand rarity among the ranks of acid jazz DJs throughout the world. Liner notes by Echoes' John Diliberto focus on Sun Ra's years as a Philadelphia resident. For audiophiles, Evidence has employed the HDCD software and A/D converter to bring this rare recording to compact disc." $14.00 # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Marco \\\"Kallie\\\" Kalnenek" Subject: Re: (exotica) is this what I think it is?

Anyway, it seems the French are beating the Americans at their own game in the movie business in more ways than one. A short trailer before this film we saw was something "presented" by Luc Besson, shot in Marseilles, in French, and with easily more car chases, ammo releases, and car crashes than any American action film I've ever seen! We were getting dizzy just watching the short! So there you have the action film one-upped by the French. Next the main feature. You may have read about this one but you will not likely have seen it as it is presently banned in just about every place on earth and that includes France, its country of origin. The film is called "Baise moi (no don't ask your French teacher what it means!). But imagine this... A film made by two women, with more violence than any Tarantino product and graphic sex to a level found in hard core porn (BTW, the two lead actresses are former porn stars). It picked up an "X" rating worldwide which means it can play only in porn cinemas if at all. A few people would have seen it at the Toronto Film festival but it is safe to say it will otherwise never play there again. Of course here we are in Quebec, next province over and the film rates an "18+" so it plays in regular release! Only place on the continent... I think a few European countries have allowed it but it surely will never see a release anywhere in the US or UK. It had English subtitles which was good as the film was full of North African slang so even being fluent in French I could never have understood most of it. Oh yes... a good range of music from vintage porn soundtrack to high energy hip hop. I'd like to say "coming to theatres in you area soon" but not too likely somehow...

I don't think I've ever seen an Enoch Light LP in a charity shop before, so I was delighted, it had quite a scratch on one side, but fair enough. And then I got it home what a great LP. It totally ROCKED MY WORLD. Great Now Sound LP, I'd say almost more in keeping with Studio 2 than the other Enoch Light LP's I have. Not too much in the way of ridiculous stereo, just great arrangements of songs by Beatles, Bach and Bacharach (I wonder when it came out in relation to Alan Moorhouses 'Go Bossa' LP) and you can't hear the scratch. Now I thought the Studio 2 imprint was reserved for recordings made at EMI's studio 2 in Abbey Rd, So did Enoch Light come over to record this? It says 'Licensed from Project3' on the back of the LP. And is it the Free Design doing the vocal duties here?

Suffers a bit from recurring Themeitis, the main theme is quite martial. There is a nice track of fighting effects and Bruce Lees Cat squeals at the end, that would be fun to sample and mess about with. I don't know what I was thinking when I picked up the Morganized LP, a modern Hammond LP? To quote the Leningrad Cowboys film, what a load of shite... I don't really like to be rude about someones hard work, but this is terrible rock bollocks, it reminds me of the second Faces LP, short on tunes and long on solo's. And I don't know how it was I got Thievery Corps 'Mirror conspiracy' cheap either, I think it must have been a mistake. But its a good LP. Is there an early 90's revival going on? I've heard several things recently that have put me in mind of the Original Rockers 'Speaking in Tongues' LP (from 93? 94? recommended anyway), and this is another. Nice dubby basslines, some skanking, some echo's and nice effects, this visits Bossa'ish places, which is nice, and there are a couple of Sitar tracks I liked.

That's what big disk companies have discovered about . . . The Sweet Sound of Sex-cess" . Excerpt: "The new trend toward sex-spiced album covers has come in for some sharp criticism. Variety, show business trade paper, recently warned in an editorial that something has to be done about "mood" album covers. The independent labels were branded as the prime offenders." "'Some of the mood poses,' Variety continued, "would indicate that the prime purpose of these mood music album covers is to inspire a mood for French postcards." I emailed Brian Karasick separately to tell him that his report on "Baise-Moi" (unfortunately translated as "Rape Me" for the English version) set off the mood-watch feature of Eudora 5.0, which puts a certain number of "hot red chiles" beside a message in the inbox, depending on the frequency of certain words.

Date: 25 Sep 2000 12:22:45 -0400 While going through the film archives in Peru, I was given access by the government to view certain footage that had been heretofore unseen. There I was, in a secret government theater, that only....EEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeouch! My good lady wife has...informed me that I should tell the truth about what I did this weekend and to knock off the flowery language. Have you ever had an editor that pinches you? Oh well, I was busy cataloguing our videotapes and I found something that I forgot to tell the list about. I came in early but not at the beginning of "La Canciones Unidas" (The United Songs). I very rarely watch the Spanish language stations, but this looked like fun The set is a reeeeally bad United Nations mock-up. The delegates (this is in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish) argue that their country has the best music. When one country had the floor, they made their pitch and that was the cue to show a music clip. Now you know the plot. It was music and old, so I started taping. The one thing that I had failed to notice when I recorded was a clip of a group of worshippers, bowing to a woman on a pyramid. The voice was right and sure enough it was Yma Sumac, in living color! I had to list 30 tapes, so I don't know the song she was singing, but I am certain it was her. As in "Secret of the Incas", her lip-synching is dreadful, however, the other clips I saw showed the other singers were having just as hard of a time! The rest of the film is rather nice, too, although I don't know any of the other artists. It's nice to go thrifting in one's own house!

Yeah, but they're always saved for me when those Bobby Hackett, Pee Wee Erwin or Charlie Ventura solos kick in. Makes me want to take a nighttime stroll on a rain-slickened big city street.

It does seem to have more pizzazz, oh my…a lot more ump a, than the regular Gleason LP… Noticed that this LP has drums…where the selections on the UL comp do not seem to have any. I have the UL 2 CD set and do find the linear notes but by much disliked RJ Smith amusing. From the linear notes: “What he didn’t want was drums-- maybe thought that adding percussion to a late night sound would wake up the neighbors”. P.S.

Well, I would then be remiss by not pointing you towards my Oahu trip report on the Ultimate Mai Tai site: http://www.kevdo.com/maitai/oahutripreport.html Other island reports via the geographic section of the site: http://www.kevdo.com/maitai/ As for kitschy... well you'll certainly want to hit the International Marketplace across from the Moana hotel and check it out. Kinda kitschy, kinda sad... look for the dead Trader Vic's up on the 2nd floor (photos:http://www.kevdo.com/exotica/waikiki.html). As for retro places: The Hawaiian Village has a bit of that feel, though less so these days since they plowed the Aluminum Dome to make way for another hotel tower. Still, it's at least worth a walk through - check out the Shell Bar where Martin Denny first played with the frogs... The Royal Hawaiian or Moana Hotels (old wing only) still have a great old feel, as does (to a lesser extent) the Halekulani. The Royal Hawaiian and Halekulani have great Mai Tais too. Much of the "retro" feel of Waikiki depends on your ability to filter out the new stuff and focus on the retro stuff. I recommend a viewing of Blue Hawaii as there are some great arial shots of Honolulu and Waikiki during the opening credits - can orient you prior to your trip. Make sure to send us some Mai Tai reviews... and enjoy!! -Kevin -- *********************************************************** * Kevin Crossman kevin@kevdo.com * * http://www.kevdo.com - The Narrow Interest Portal * * Lip Balm Anonymous, Ultimate Mai Tai, Exotica Archive * *********************************************************** # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) [hype] Cool&Strange Music! #18 Date: 26 Sep 2000 08:02:50 -0400 I'm passing this along for Dana Countryman, head honcho of C&SM!. -Lou #18 ISSUE OF COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC MAGAZING IS HERE!

He was 92. Erwin provided music to more than 70 silent films and toured into his 90s. He began his career while still a high school student in Huntsville, Ala., substituting for the regular organists at two local theaters. He continued playing for $20 a week while attending the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. In 1930, he went to Paris to study with French organist Andre Marchal and composer Nadia Boulanger. He returned to Cincinnati in 1932 and began as a staff organist at WLW-AM radio station. He was well-known for playing the music to ``Moon River,'' a late-night show he once described as ``pretty pop tunes and a man reading love poems.'' After 11 years, Erwin moved to New York and joined CBS where he was an organist and arranger until 1966, appearing as Moneybags Erwin on the ``Arthur Godfrey Show.'' He resumed movie work in 1967. He prepared a score by replaying a movie, timing important scenes and jotting notes on themes and characters. In addition to 1923's ``Hunchback'' and 1925's ``Ben Hur,'' Erwin's scores include the entire collection of Buster Keaton films and Mary Pickford's ``My Best Girl.'' http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?p=avg&sql=B89112 http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=B24004 # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: (exotica) Tony Mottola's Guitar Factory, Date: 26 Sep 2000 13:05:07 -0500 a disk Robbie mentioned in passing.

This is probably an appropriate time to mention that my dad passed away last week and at his funeral yesterday we chose to have "The Impossible Dream" from this LP played at the end. Guitar Factory was an LP my dad once owned (alongwith Spaced Out) and it was these records which first turned me on to Enoch Light... Anyway, I believe this is actually a compilation LP of Tony Mottola's other Project 3 recordings and to my mind is most notable for a surprisingly rocking version of Tequila. In fact I would say it's the best version of the tune I've ever heard! Mottola fans might like to know that a Xmas compilation of his Project 3 recordings is coming out mid-price on the SPJ label. It's actually already listed at CDNow but I don't know what the track listing is yet...

How is it? Worth seeking? I'm in the >(smallish) camp of people who find his playing silky, not tedius. Tedious and silky are not mutually exclusive. The thing I don't like about Tony's playing, generally, is its silkiness. At least when it's silky and not much else. Like this record I'm dubbing right now. "Tony and Strings". At this very moment I am transferring some of his silky playing to CD so I can get the record out of here. Having said that, I will be keeping - for the time being anyway - a little group of records of his, among which is the above-mentioned Guitar Factory. Also Guitar Underground, Latin Love-In, Guitar U.S.A. and the last one I'll hold onto even when most of them are gone... Warm, Wild and Wonderful. That's the one Chris Dedrick and the Free Design - here dubbed "The Groovies" - have their hands (and voices) all over. (I also like the covers on these records. There's a lot of metal on the Guitar Factory cover. The "covergirl" is holding this metal studded guitar as if she's playing it. On the other hand though, she's on her knees and has that come-hither look. She kind of looks like Natalie Wood and for some reason she's wearing one of those train driver hats.) But I keep it for his version of Sugar Sugar.

Mom's a big Goldsmith (Steiner, Herrmann, Waxman) fan. The plot, however, ai not the greatest (the price I pay for going to many movies with my brother. He dissected it after we saw this and many other Science Fiction films), although I did see an interesting...uh, facet of Jenny Agutter in that film (in an icy environment, yet!!). The novelization has the distinct feature of having the chapters numbered backward. By the way, you can argue the quality of the movie with me all you like, but I think we can all agree that the TV series really bit the wax tadpole.

Kids probably won't enjoy this disk, but anyone who ever sprang to attention at the sound of the approaching ice-cream man, or who actually remembers that crappy local kiddie-park being as fun and magical rather than the hoky, morose dump it actually is, will be immediately transported. Brilliant in it's simplicity, Sounds For Little Ones is a collection of recordings made "of 25-cent kiddie rides, ice-cream trucks, and the best of Children'sFairyland [Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA] I bought this CD on the speculation that the ice-cream truck tune that haunted my childhood would be on it, and sure enough Ice-cream truck #1 (track 2) was "And the Band Played On" - just as meandering and nearly tuneless as I remembered it. Other points of interest are the prerecorded messages at Fairyland where one imagines children gaping at some aging, discolored fiberglass display while a bad recording blares a nearly illiterate middle-aged man reading, " Hi, My name is Grandpa Gnome....i live mostly around Goosy-Goosy Gander's Castle. Do you know about Goosy Goosy Gander? (waits for pause) you Don't?. Well..." The result of the whole collection of sounds ends up being very chilling. Chilling because it all seems so...hollow... One of my favorite recordings is called "Fairyland Music Space Pop" It's the ambience around the park: Cheezy speakers blaring kiddie music, the sound of what could be the only child in the park is heard briefly in the distance. Suddenly the threadbare recording of Baroque Hoedown (pirated form a Disney record no doubt) snaps off to accomodate someone barking, "Randall, please contact the Pumpkin...Randall, please contact the pumpkin... long silence...music snaps back on." The track goes on seemingly forever without any human interruption from there on out.

Here's a sampling: Terry Baxter--4 LP set As usually with the non-existent Mr Baxter, this rises and falls on the strength of his arrangers. But probably 40% or better decent stuff, with a very good "Bond Street" Longines Symphonette--5 LP set Much higher syrup factor, but still a few good arrangements slip out. Since my threshold is usually one decent cut per $1 spent, this is a recommended buy. Connie Francis Arranged by Claus Ogerman(n), with a very good "Make It Easy on Yourself," maybe the best. The Wilders A Vega trio of sax-playing brothers, fairly soft, not at all now sound-ish. Ed Ames Hey, he played basketball with Burt, so he can't be all bad. Good cover of "Nikki." Anita Kerr Singers One of the great ones. Every day I grow more impressed by Anita's work. Amazingly beautiful version of "Windows of the World." Peter Nero Hit and miss. Worth several bucks, though. Sir Christopher Scott Two albums, actually, done on the Moog. Very good, with several arrangements that break away from the standard mold. Frank Chacksfield Arranged by Johnny Keating. Mellow but not inert. Pleasant. The Renaissance Masterminded by Snuff Garrett. Anita Kerr meets the Swingle Singers at Bacharach Junction. Excellent. Double-D doo wah. The 18th Century Corporation A German baroque ensemble, spiced with vocalese. Also excellent. Sheila Southern Avoid. Brit singer who takes everything too slowly, and E-Nun-Cee-Ates X-Cess-Ive-Ly. Gene Pitney Some people hate Gene's voice, but it's perfect for these early Bacharach/David songs. No one else does "24 Hours to Tulsa" right. Living Marimba Nice but not noteworthy Stan Getz Must buy Cal Tjader Must must must buy. I play this all the time. Cal Tajder on Gary McFarland's Skye label doing Bacharach. Can't beat it. There are a few more I'm too lazy to look for now. Anyway, thought I ought to answer the mail on this one.

Because, i was listening to 'Goldfinger' - and the hairs only shot up on the back of my neck when that barrage of string, brass and timp crashed in, which made me think that remixing the tracks was perhaps... pointless?

It's a VERY clean 1971 BMW 2800CS. Kind of rare, very elegant. My boy, this is just crying out for a nice sugary dose of vintage upbeat Schlager! None of the heavy Heino or classical nonsense! Save that for the late model full size Mercedes or 700 series BMW... This is a FUN car!!! I posted not long ago about the massive selection of this kind of material on Napster. Finding it in any store in our part of the world is nearly impossible. Someday I hope to compile enough to burn a CD or two but you may not want to wait that long.You can of course check me out as user on Napster if you can, and you're welcome to upload all I've found to date. But here's a few names as my own search is still a work in progress: Heidi Bruhl; Gitte (Ich will n'en Cowboy, My Boy Lollypop); Manuela (Lollypop, Helikopter US Navy); Caterina Valente (Peppermint Twist, Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini); Connie Francis (Shoener Fremder Mann); Conny Froboess; Peggy March (Carnaby Street); Gus Backus; Peter Kraus; Wencke Myhre (Ein mark fur Charlie); and many more I may have yet to discover. It's hit and miss as so much of this stuff is so horribly bad... But there is much good stuff and I'm still looking myself. Let me know if you find anything good. PS. This stuff drives my wife crazy too so don't worry!

Generally I'm looking for moog records that go over-the-top without crossing the line into Keith Emerson territory - as for instance those Montenegro records featuring his son John do (imho). In other words, who needs a tasteful moog record? But I make the exception for these two records. From tune to tune, he uses different sounds, different kinds of arrangements. They're both great records even leaving aside the great tunes. I love the version of "Wives and Lovers", off the top of my head. >The Renaissance > Masterminded by Snuff Garrett.

But I love Gary McFarland and I love Cal Tjader and I love Burt Bacharach and if you actually play this all the time, it must be great. Gotta go make another CDR.

They've got music from Munich and Bavaria (and where else would you find true Oktoberfest music?!) as well as Berlin and Austria. The compilations combine traditional music from the turn of the century as well as some cabaret and spoken word thrown in. A friend bought the whole series and torments guests at his Beer-B-Ques with them. (Try "Bayern: Volksmusik" or "Oberosterreich-Salzburg: Volksmusik" for an oompah vibe.

I think this is one of those that is just pleasant. Not great, but a couple arrangements are decent enough that I would include them in a Bacharach retrospective.

Baden Powell died early in the day at Rio de Janeiro's Sorocaba Clinic, where he was in intensive care for the past month with pneumonia and health problems related to diabetes. Baden Powell was a prominent guitarist and bossa nova composer from the same generation as Tom Jobim, author of "The Girl from Ipanema." Jobim died in New York in 1994 at 67. Baden Powell worked closely with Jobim and famed Rio de Janeiro poet Vinicius de Moraes to create the sensual rhythms and romantic lyrics that made bossa nova, a mixture of soft instrumental jazz and samba, popular the world over. After a number of successes at home, Baden Powell, a mustachioed, bespectacled man with thin fingers, burst onto the international stage in 1966 and 1967 and eventually went on to play with greats such as Thelonius Monk and Stan Getz. His song "Samba de Bencao" was featured in a 1966 hit romantic drama by French film director Claude Lelouch "Man and a Woman." Some of his best-loved songs included "Berimbau," which he composed with de Moraes, and "Apelo" and "Deixa." Baden Powell, whose father was a leader of Brazilian boy scouts as well as a guitar player, was named after the British founder of the Boy Scouts, Robert Thompson Baden Powell. He was born in a small town in the state of Rio de Janeiro but later moved to the music mecca of Rio itself. Baden Powell grew up listening to samba and was also influenced by the Afro-Brazilian culture from Brazil's northeast. He wrote songs that were made famous by Brazilian singers such as the late Elis Regina and Milton Nascimento. He was forced to cancel shows with Gal Costa when he was hospitalized. "He was a guitar genius, a genius of the Brazilian music," singer Leila Pinheiro told Globo television. In the last years of his life Baden Powell joined the Presbyterian Church, breaking away from Afro-Brazilian cults that inspired many "sambistas." For religious reasons he stopped singing some of his songs and according to local media, the church also helped him give up drinking. Baden Powell is survived by his wife and two sons, both of them musicians. A vigil for the guitarist was to be held in Rio de Janeiro's Chamber of Deputies Tuesday night. Wednesday he was to be buried at Saint John the Baptist cemetery in Rio, the final resting place for many famous musicians and public figures. Reuters/Variety ^ REUTERS@ ------------- The Telegraph(UK) reports the recent death at 90 of illustrator Mary Shepard,born Christmas 1909. Her father E.H. Shepard illustrated the Winnie-the-Pooh books,and she was selected,after her father declined on account of being too busy,by Pamela L. Travers to illustrate the latter's Mary Poppins books. The obituary goes into some detail about how Mary Poppins was patterned on a doll Travers had(Shepard got a similar doll to be her "model"), and Travers insisted that Mary "must have no figure". ------------ KYOTO, Sept. 25 (Kyodo) - Eiichi Kudo, director of a string of samurai films including the 1963 classic ''The Thirteen Assassins'' died Saturday of a brainstem hemorrhage at a Kyoto hospital, his family said Monday. He was 71. Hailing from Tomakomai, Hokkaido, and graduating from Keio University in Tokyo, Kudo entered Toei Co. in 1952 and became a director at the company's Kyoto studio in 1959. His hits include ''The Flute Playing Warrior'' in 1956, ''The Foreign Shark'' in 1961 and ''The Fort of Death'' in 1969. He became active in directing television dramas in the late 1960s, directing some 50 samurai dramas of the ''Hissatsu (Certain Death)'' series. The wake will be held from 6 p.m. Monday at the Tenryuji temple in Kyoto and his funeral from 1 p.m. Tuesday at the same temple. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) sci-fi & umbrellas Date: 27 Sep 2000 22:36:27 -0400 >what? no "OMEGA MAN"??? jeez, it's wayy better than "Soylent Green" (we all >know 'it's people'), but maybe that's just too much Chuck Heston for one >night. If you ever get the chance to see Vincent Price in "The Last Man On Earth" (1964), it makes for an interesting comparison with "The Omega Man". They're both based on Richard Matheson's book, "I Am Legend". I slightly prefer "Last Man" myself. B&W plus VP gives it the edge. Seems more gritty (and I do believe George Romero must have seen it before making his little zombie flick). But that's just me. A desperate attempt at getting back to music...

The Kenny Dope remix of light my fire is straight with teh drums re-eq'd and brought up in the mix with a couple of breaks for those with a sampler. The rest are chopped about and filterd to a greater or lesser extent, The Euro trance version of 'if you go away' is very funny, the gloomy Brel lyrics floating in over the top of a terminally cheesy bit of pop trance (Moloko remix). Its tru that the hair raising bits are teh where her voice comes in. But thats why shes there.

Because, i was listening to 'Goldfinger' - - and the hairs only shot up on the back of my neck when that barrage of string, brass and timp crashed in, which made me think that remixing the tracks was perhaps... pointless?

For those that don't know, Ed was the 'other' great Brasilian Samba organist, alongside Walter Wanderley. Dusty Groove reckon the LP was originally from the early 70's. There are a couple of tracks that are straight Ed Lincoln, with the trademark odd arrangements, stopping, starting, whistling and sound effects, but for a lot of it, he seems to be branching out into other musical styles. Instrumentally the lineup is again, organ, trumpet, (pedal?) bass, drums and some guitar (as on the 'Ed Lincoln' LP), but there is a lot more of a funk feel to the thing, riffing brass, and a heavier rhythm section. Dusty Groove make a deal out of a break on one of the tracks, but its only about a bar long, and a fairly standard funky drummer break at that. There is a lot of what sounds like Wah-wah organ, and some of the vocal tracks are distorted and effected quite heavily. A couple of ballads, a fairly lightweight batacuda, and a track that veers between the British 60's psyche-pop group Nirvana and samba. Some of the tracks were co-written by Orlandivo, and i know that Ed Lincoln worked with him (her?) at some stage, so there a chance that some of the vocals are Orlandivo's. Probably copied from an old record, judging by Dusty Groove's comments and the sleeve quality (with all that that entails) but given how expensive and hard to find outside South America his records are, its nice to see. I just love organ records. I'll have sleeve pictures and a review up on my Ed Lincoln site in a couple of days.

Munich: BECK am Rathauseck, O-Ton OPTIMAL, Kolosseumstrasse 6 VOLKSMUSIKST=DCBERL gegen=FCber Hofbr=E4uhaus HIEBER am Dom WOM, SATURN, MEDIA MARKT, M=DCLLER, MONO, http://www.fischrecords.at Gr=FCss Gott! Endlich gibt's von einer der ber=FChmtesten Blasmusiken Bayerns einen Tontr=E4ger. Die KRINOLINE BLASKAPELLE, die smootheste, butterweichste, soulfulste Kapelle weit und breit, spielt und bl=E4st zur Oktoberfestzeit auf dem Krinoline-Karussell und jetzt auch auf CD. Das Quintett wurde f=FCr diese Aufnahmen um die 90-j=E4hrigen Zwillinge u= nd Fl=FCgelhornisten Sepp und Franz (der =E4ltere!) Schmid zusammengestellt, weil die beiden noch eine ganz eigene Art des langsamen, weichen, bayrischen Blasmusikspiels verk=F6rpern. Dabei sind au=DFerdem Franz F=FCrst (58), Tenorhorn, Sepp Preis (51) an der Tuba und Sigi Kaiser (60), Tenorhorn. Die "Schmid Buam", die =E4ltesten Zwillinge M=FCnchens sind seit gut 20 Jahren auf der Krinoline dabei. Vor dieser Zeit haben sie jahrzehntelang als Bierzeltmusiker auf dem Oktoberfest gespielt: Im "Armbrustsch=FCtzen"-, "L=F6wenbr=E4u"- und "Augustiner-Zelt", bei der "Fischer Vroni", in der "Ochsenbraterei", beim "Winzerer F=E4hndl" und in der"Br=E4urosl". Perfektion stand bei dieser Produktion, die live ohne Publikum aufgenommen wurde, nicht im Vordergrund. Entscheidend sind Groove, Innigkeit und Entspanntheit der Musiker. Deshalb haben wir auch kleine musikalische "Unsauberkeiten" auf der Aufnahme gelassen. Das sind die "Bavarian Bluenotes". Die Krinoline f=E4hrt seit 1924 auf dem Oktoberfest und ist heute auf der Wiesn eines der =E4ltsten Schaustellergesch=E4fte. Das vielgepriesene Traditionskarussell wird von Theo Niederl=E4nder betrieben und ist nur au= f dem Oktoberfest zu erleben.

It's the opening track of the cd 'France Gall en Allemande - Das Beste in Deutsch'. (Eastwest Records, 1998) The subtitle of this version of 'A Banda' is 'Zwei Apfelsinen im Haar'.

(AP) -- Carl Sigman, who wrote music or words for dozens of songs, including the theme song to the 1950's "Robin Hood'' television series, died Tuesday at age 91. One of Sigman's best-known legacies is a phone number. In 1938 he wrote "Pennsylvania 6-5000,'' in tribute to the Hotel Pennsylvania, where the Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw regularly performed. The Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded the song, which became a smash hit. The phone number -- PE6-5000 -- still rings at the hotel. Sigman wrote the words to Duke Ellington's "All Too Soon'' in 1940 and "What Now My Love,'' for which he wrote English lyrics in 1966 for a French song written four years earlier. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Sonny and Cher and Mitch Ryder sang his version. He also wrote the words to "Ebb Tide,'' a song originally composed as an instrumental by the harpist Robert Maxwell; Vic Damone, the Platters and the Righteous Brothers, among others, recorded it. More recently, his song "Enjoy Yourself'' was used in the 1997 Woody Allen movie, "Everybody Says I Love You.'' Sigman's son, Michael, noted that a current Mercedes commercial shown during the Olympics uses "Enjoy Yourself'' to underscore a middle-aged driver's automotive spree after being yold by a doctor he has only "45 to 50" years to live. A graduate of New York University Law School, Sigman was admitted to the bar, but never practiced . Instead, he was drawn to music and became acquainted with Johnny Mercer, the lyricist, vocalist and composer who became his mentor. In 1942, Sigman was drafted into the Army and served in Europe in the crew of a glider. He was awarded a Bronze Star for heroism. He also wrote what became the 82nd Airborne Division's official song, "The All American Soldier,'' receiving a $25 war bond for the achievement. AP-NY / 09-30-00 05:56 EDT The Associated Press --- 'Annie' Choreographer Peter Gennaro Dead at 80 NEW YORK (AP) -- Peter Gennaro, whose choreography for the 1977 musical "Annie'' won him a Tony award and whose dance sequences and dancing entertained millions on Perry Como's "Kraft Music Hall'' in the 1960s, died Thursday at age 80. As a performer, Gennaro captivated the critics in shows like "Pajama Game'' in 1954 and "Bells Are Ringing,'' with Judy Holliday, in 1956. As a choreographer he left his mark on musicals from "West Side Story'' (1957), which he choreographed with Jerome Robbins, to the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Fiorello!'' (1959), "The Unsinkable Molly Brown'' (1960), "Mr. President'' (1962), "Bajour'' (1964) and "Jimmy'' (1969). Besides his work on "Kraft Music Hall,'' he appeared on other television shows like "Your Hit Parade,'' "The Steve Allen Show,'' "The Andy Williams Show'' and with Ed Sullivan. The youngest of three children of Sicilian immigrants, Gennaro was born in the New Orleans suburb Metairie, La., and was dancing for prizes by age 4. He enlisted in the Army during World War II, and wound up in India, where he joined an entertainment group. Later, he trained at the American Theater Wing and then enrolled under the GI Bill at the Katherine Dunham School in 1946. In 1947 he was hired as a dancer by the San Carlo Opera Company, a touring troupe based in Chicago, where he met his future wife, Jean Kinsella. Gennaro faced his first New York audience in "Make Mine Manhattan'' in 1948 and was later in such musicals as "Kiss Me, Kate'' (1948), "Guys and Dolls'' (1950) and "By the Beautiful Sea'' (1954). He is survived by his wife, two children, a brother and two grandchildren. AP-NY / 09-30-00 04:27 EDT --- VENTURA, Calif. (AP) -- Former actress Carmen Robertson, who had roles as a child in early "Little Rascals'' movies and performed as a synchronized swimmer in Esther Williams films, died Tuesday from injuries suffered in a car crash. She was 77. As a child, Robertson performed under her maiden name Carmencita Johnson in the "Little Rascals'' movie series. When she turned 20, she began to work as a synchronized swimmer in the Esther Williams aquatic movies for MGM. Robertson also worked as a movie stand-in for Lana Turner throughout the 1940s. 09-28-00 / 10:22 PM EDT The Associated Press # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Pearmania@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Re: Cal Tjader Date: 30 Sep 2000 13:35:21 EDT In a message dated 9/30/00 10:06:20 AM US Eastern Standard Time, eric_taub@wgbh.org writes: << Any suggestions on my first Cal CD or other vibe artists/cd's? >> A classic Cal Tjader recording is the one he made with Eddie Palmieri in 1965, El Sonido Nuovo (The New Soul Sound). As far as I know, it's still available on CD. It's a tough sound to describe -- some Latin elements, but not as traditionally Latin as some of his 50's stuff. Very groovy. They make a good duo -- Tjader's vibe playing mellows the often violent piano style of Palmieri. Likewise, Palmieri's playing helps to liven up the lack of dynamics that sometimes characterizes vibes music.

Welcom to the list Danny, It's been a good day for records today. I'm listening to "Hello Amigos" The Ames Brothers under the Direction of Juan Garcia Esquivel. And it is like listening to any of the Esquivel records, especially when the boys from Boston take a break singing and the man can almost let loose. "Explosive Brass Impact" Warren Cline and his Brass Impact Orchestra Vol 2. Some friends here have passed on some copies of this series to me, but not this one and they deliver on their promise of Pow!Pow!Pow! POW! An Overwelming Music Experience". Nice wordless vocals. I needed another version of "Gregory Girl". Henry Jerome "Brazen Brass Zings the Strings" I’ve got some of the other Brazen Brass series... After an adventurous "Holiday For Strings" it seems to be all downhill. "Sing a Song With Riddle" Ok I've haven't listened to this yet. The description: “YOU are the solo star, with big orchestra backgrounds by NELSON RIDDLE (Booklet complete with music and lyrics enclosed)." Have you, like me, been guilty of speeding down the highway, car speakers blaring and singing along with Frank? "My Baby Cares Just For Meeeee!!!!!!!

Andrew Rogers was a seminal internet personality (since 1983!) who mainly contributed to the on-line guitar community. His note-perfect transcriptions of pop songs from the '50s to the '90s (but mainly of the '60s) are the stuff of legend to internet-connected guitar players. Mr. Rogers tabbed out many Bachrach/David tunes among hundreds (nearly 700, actually, 17 from Gene Pitney) of others, and his wry commentary and attention to detail will be remembered by many.

It will include both "Tamboo" and "Skins!". It will also have 3 bonus tracks but they are just standard lush material. Kind of weird to see these albums on one CD. Kind of mismatched if you ask me. "Ritual" and "Tamboo" would have made a more logical pair but hey, we'll take what we can get right? I hope they do more. The next logical two-fer in my mind would be both "Jungle Jazz" and "African Jazz" on one CD.
