"We were literally flooded with the most amazing variety of nominations imaginable," said Ron Bonk, president and founder of the B-Movie Hall of Fame. "Some of our inductees were expected, such as Roger Corman and 'The Night of the Living Dead.'

Beautiful topless Batgirl cover image by Vargas. A perfect party CD and a weirdly hypnotic experience. $12 pp So Groovy Inside (Various Artists) The Jesus music of the "now generation."

Yes, that sounds like a familiar title. The song I really remember (I can still hum the bass line) had the tag line, "No -- mind your own business", but I'm not sure if that was the title. They were part of the British post-punk sorta funk thing. A less aggressive variant on the Gang of Four sound.

It has very spacey and dopey spoken word selections about the zodiac signs, with music that is part psychedelic-exploitation (parts of it remind me of parts of Vampyros Lesbos) and part weird electronic effects. This stuff is genius. Kind of like Eden Ahbez gone electric. I don't remember anyone discussing this one before, thought I'd throw it in.

Mort Garson is a genius. I just got hold of Atraxia - - The Unexplained. The back cover is full of late 1960s psycho babble about the unknown and the LP is full of moog wierdness and unearthly noises. Mort Garson is also responsible for Lucifer - Black Mass (highly recommended) and The Wozzard of Iz (also recommended), both in a similar vein. I also have and love Electronic Hair Pieces - My current fave Moog LP - with songs from Hair re(un)arranged. Mort's Let The Sunshine In and Easy to Be Hard are both superb and far removed from the originals. In fact, my girlfriend and I just used Easy to Be Hard to accompany a psychedelic 8mm cine-film filmed inside an oil wheel lit, sensory art installation. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 12:28:50 GMT From: Peter Hipwell Subject: Re: (exotica) Pete Moore > From: "Charles Moseley" > > I recently saw a Pete Moore plays Bacharach LP for sale, which wasn't > expensive and didn't look all that cool, and I also have Exciting Sounds of > Tomorrow, an LP of his which features Catwalk, the track featured on In > Flight Entertainment.

However, the two other albums I've found by him, "Lively and Latin" and I-Can't-Remember-The-Title, both on Rediffusion, are pretty boring, fairly lacklustre cover versions of boring songs. This seems to be pretty much the in-house Rediffusion style, with a few exceptions: if you ever see the album "Silhouettes of Success" by the Howard Blaikley Orchestra (writers of hits by Dave Dee Micky Dozy Beak and Titch and The Honeycombs present instrumental versions of their own songs), grab it, as it is stupendous, especially the versions of "Hold It" and "Have I The Right". - -- Pete H. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 14:22:00 +0100 From: "Arjan Plug" Subject: (exotica) New releases (Partch/ McKuen) from Forced Exposure: _____________________________________________ INNOVA: PARTCH, HARRY: Enclosure Five 3CD (INNO 405). "The American Composers Forum announces the forthcoming release of the final part of its series chronicling the life and work of Harry Partch (1901-74), one of America's most extraordinary, yet central, composers. Partch was a self-taught musician, eclectic visionary, instrument-builder, microtonal theorist, gay, sometime-hobo, who conceived and composed a Corporeal, integrated, ancient ritual theater. Enclosure Five, the final installment of this multi-media biography, is a 3-CD set focussing on Partch's works inspired by ancient Greece. It includes important works published here for the first time, reissues of out-of-print recordings, and new performances. With this issue, the entirety of Partch's recorded ouevre (with one exception) is publicly available for the first time. Taken with the rest of the Enclosures series and the Harry Partch Collection on CRI, we can now begin to assess Partch's whole output. Works include: A reissue of 'Ulysses at the Edge' with Jack Logan playing the trumpet part originally intended for Chet Baker; 'Revelation in the Courthouse Park (after The Bacchae of Euripides),' in its original version recorded at the University of Illinois in 1960 and excerpted on Partch's own Gate Five records; 'King Oedipus,' the culmination of Partch's Speech-Music period, in its original version using the translation by W.B. Yeats. Although Partch considered this his most important work (it took 19 years to write) and an excellent performance (featuring the incomparable Allen Louw as Oedipus), it was never released because of a permission dispute; Miscellaneous short Speech-Music works: 'By the Rivers of Babylon' (reorchestrated from the version heard on Enclosure Two); 'Come Away, Death' from the lost collection, December 1942. This work, for voice and guitar, appears in with the work by Douglas Moore that inspired Partch's own setting; and 'Minuet,' a curious Baroque duet performed by Partch and his then-student, Ben Johnston; 'The Bewitched (A Dance Satire)' in a 1980 recording from Cologne featuring an extraordinary performance and recording of this major Partch work (produced by Kenneth Gaburo for the Berlin Festival, with Danlee Mitchell, music director and Isabelle Tercero as The Witch). Partch's own spoken introductions to two of the works are included as well as an extensive booklet. The Enclosures series, named after Partch's last contemplated work and released on the Innova Recordings label of the American Composers Forum, is the culmination of a 13-year endeavor by Dr. Philip Blackburn, a Minnesota-based composer, performer, administrator and scholar. Inspired by Partch's pioneering spirit and dearth of published materials, Blackburn worked with the Harry Partch Foundation, colleague Kenneth Gaburo, and many others to bring Partch's singular voice to the public, attempting to 'let Harry speak for himself.'" $32.00 _____________________________________________ P22/ATOM SMASH RECORDS: MCKUEN, ROD: Beatsville CD (P22 006). "Reissue of the classic 1959 LP. First time ever on CD in an exclusive arrangement with the Stanyan Music group. A unique look into Beat Culture. Includes 7 bonus tracks plus a font on CD." "One of the great lost artifacts of late 50s popular culture, an insider's portrait of a Bohemian community delivered with all the wit, affection and stylistic confidence it deserved. This was McKuen's second album, following Time of Desire. Beatsville was conceived as an affectionate send-up of the beat scene in deliberate response to the excesses of the mass media. McKuen brought in session cats Buddy Colette, Paul Gray and Howard Heitmeyer and taught them the basic melody lines; the whole thing was recorded in an evening. Delivered in a pristinely affectless all-American drawl, this is Rod at his sardonic peak. It makes you simultaneously ache for a pad in '58 Frisco and laugh your ass off that anyone ever took this goofy behavior seriously. I wouldn't trade one Beatsville for a dozen Howls. Rod McKuen. Too earthy for the hippies. Too honest for his own good. Poet. Gentleman. Millionaire. One-time teenaged disc-jockey. Orphan. World-class character. Genius? He's strong, but he likes roses. He's not afraid to appear ridiculous, and he doesn't. Long live Rod McKuen -- The King of the Beats!." --Kim Cooper. $13.00 Arjan # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 10:00:49 EST From: BasicHip@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds Charles writes: << I wholeheartedly agree.

She was 79. Best known as the ``Singer Without a Name,'' Servaes-Beij's repertoire of about 600 popular folk songs included ``Oh Daddy Dear,'' ``Mexico'' and ``Mandolin in Nicosia.'' Many of her songs contained doleful lyrics mirroring her own difficult early life. In ``Oh Daddy Dear,'' she pleads in a trembling voice with her father to stop drinking, singing, ``Mummy cries time and time again.'' *Albert Washington CINCINNATI (AP) -- Albert Washington, a blues guitarist prominent in the 1960s and '70s, died Friday of diabetes. He was 59. Washington, who recorded albums and performed at clubs and concerts, was influenced by gospel music and bluesman B.B. King. In the late '60s, he recorded the single ``Turn on the Bright Lights,'' which The Grateful Dead covered in the 1970s. Washington's album in the early 1970s featured his signature song ``Wings of a Dove,'' which combined his gospel-style singing with a pounding blues riff. He enjoyed a resurgence in the late 1980s and early '90s, but illness curtailed his ability to perform in the last few years. # 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. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #236 *****************************
