I was thrilled to see they included the groop's cover of Jobim's "One Note Samba/Surfboard" from Verve's "Red Hot + Rio" collection a couple of years back. I was even more thrilled to see them cover the "Get Carter" theme. For a band not known for doing covers, they sure do them well. Of course, it goes without saying that all their original material is top-notch, too.

Here's the catalogue copy: EXOTIQUARIUM: Album Art from the Space Age by Jennifer McKnight-Trontz Foreword by Lenny Dee An indispensible guide to the wonderfully bizarre, fantastically retro-hip (and highly collectible) world of space-age pop and exotica albums and cover art. Featuring gorgeous color photographs throughout, EXOTIQUARIUM is a giddy guided tour through the greatest moments of 1950s' and 1960s' space-age pop and exotica. From newly rediscovered and trendy names like Esquivel and Yma Sumac to lesser knowns like The Melachrino Orchestra and the Markko Polo Adventurers, this collection of bizarre and fascinating vintage musical ephemera will enthrall both the serious collector and the neo-Swinger weekend enthusiast. The accompany text supplies information about the artists (both musical and visual), the (mood) music they created, definitions of the odd instruments used to create these strange and beautiful sounds (like the theremin), and much more. Complete with a foreword from Lenny Dee -- Decca recording artist and "Organ Lounge Master" -- EXOTIQUARIUM offers a complete portrait of this surreal time in American musical history. An invaluable resource for a dynamic and continually growing international collectors' market and a must-have for lounge lizards new and old.

Please, I hope you don't think of these lists as comprehensive. I scrounge through the listings each week for my own benefit, and throw some stuff on here to hopefully be a little helpful. But it's all very haphazard. And for example, I know TCM has lots of good stuff, but I don't check them, because I don't get that channel.

He was 60. The writer, composer, poet and artist who lived in New York City was known for works with such esoteric titles as ``foew&ombwhnw,'' an acronym for ``freaked out electronic wizard and other marvelous bartenders who have no wings.'' The 1969 book of essays, whose pages featured columns of word scores, visual poetry and essays that ran vertically from spread to spread, was bound in leather, like a prayer book with a ribbon bookmark. He also founded, funded and ran several publishing companies, including Something Else Press. Established in 1964, it published works by Gertrude Stein, Richard Hulsenbeck, Merce Cunningham and John Cage and went out of business in 1975. The Cambridge, England native played a key role in the Happenings and concrete poetry movements. He was the co-founder of the Fluxus movement, which accepted any activity as art and played fast and loose with definitions. *Paul Misraki PARIS (AP) -- Composer Paul Misraki, author of more than 160 cinema soundtracks and a major influence behind the growth of swing in France, died late Thursday or early Friday after a long illness. He was 90. Misraki was born in 1908 in Constantinople -- now Istanbul, Turkey -- but spent most of his life in France. During the Nazi occupation, he moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and later worked for RKO Pictures in Hollywood. He began playing the piano at age 4, and wrote his first piece three years later. In the 1930s, he teamed up with musician Ray Ventura in France, where they tasted success with their brand of swing. He moved into cinema in the 1940s, composing for Orson Welles, Jacques Becker, Luis Bunuel and Jean-Luc Godard, among others. Up until his death, Misraki continued to work, compiling a compact disc of his most famous works that is due to be released within weeks, his family said. He also wrote a dozen essays on spirituality. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Nov 1998 11:25:30 -0600 From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Coati Mundi live/free Brooklyn Museum of Art 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn (718) 638-5000 x372; http://www.brooklynart.org Saturday November 7 7-9pm Bindlestiff Family Cirkus (as seen in Kutie#4) and musical group Fresh Fish.

He retells the tale with a generous, and gentle humour that is lost when it is translated so literally. Perrey 'sampled' the methodology, never the music. If I may again quote from a piece copyrighted and first published in May 199= 6: "Having witnessed Pierre Schaeffer's elaborate artistry at first hand, and hearing huge loops of sound, Perrey chose to edit his repetitions into quirky compilations of rapid rhythms. Utilising the environmental sounds of musique concr=E8te, he created the LP 'Musique Electronique du Cosmos' in 1961, with just two tape machines linked together." Equally as influential as Schaeffer upon Perrey's work, is the Dutch composer of electronic music, Tom Dissevelt. yves@inwpent1.rug.ac.be typed: > To put some more oil on the fire: doesn't the last track on > Moog Indigo : Passport to the future , sound a bit like > Telstar by the Tornados ?

I do not recall him specifically mentioning that he sampled Schaeffer. (This does not meant that he did not say that) As a result of the write-up I did for the list, I got some email forwarded to me from Brian Phillips (Thanks again, Brian!) Seems Brian sent my post = to someone who passed it on to JJP. Mr. Perrey sent me a very nice note. I replied, but have not heard back. If I do start a correspondence with him, I will endeavor to settle this once and for all. > = Desmond Writes: > "Having witnessed Pierre Schaeffer's elaborate artistry at first hand, = and > hearing huge loops of sound, Perrey chose to edit his repetitions into > quirky compilations of rapid rhythms.

This the gist I got from Perreys story. Personally, I do not think that = it matters, except as a point of fact. It would just make Perrey responsible for another first: Being the first to sample other artist works and incorporate into his own unique composition a'la the DJ's of the present. (With whom Perrey is quite impressed.)

I always thought the tune was a bit derivative of Telstar, or maybe the other way around...I neve paid attention to the chronology.

Nicki Lee Foster said her 78-year-old mother had the stroke Oct. 27. ``She's conscious and her family has been with her,'' she said Monday, refusing to say where her mother was hospitalized. Ms. Foster said doctors were trying to determine whether the stroke caused permanent damage. Miss Lee is best known for the hit song ``Fever,'' remade by numerous artists, including Madonna. She won a Grammy in 1969 for the song ``Is That All There Is?'' A diabetic, Miss Lee has been troubled by a number of health problems. In 1961, she contracted double pneumonia. In 1976, she had a near-fatal fall in a New York hotel and was seriously injured in a fall in Las Vegas in 1987. In early 1985, she underwent four angioplasties -- balloon surgery to open clogged arteries. While appearing in New Orleans in October 1985, she underwent double-bypass heart surgery. # 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 #240 *****************************
