The more informed habitues of this list may not find much new in it, but it does offer a decent overview of the rise, fall, and rise again of exotica/lounge/SABP music. Those who'd like a sneak peek will find a text-and-image excerpt at: http://www.bn.com/subjects/entert/entert.asp (In the interest of full disclosure, let me add that I work at bn.com.

'breeze from the east' was the biggest surprise and probably comes closest to being pure exotica. it sounds as if it could have been recorded in arthur lyman's metallic dome, and dick hyman even makes a cameo appearance with some wobbly organ lines. the opening track has stan applebaum's driving, sinuous string arrangements in counterpoint to a fantastically understated angular, funky guitar line. 'fuji' is beautifully ambient and has the earliest example i've heard of the 'violining' guitar technique (bringing the volumb knob up from zero as the string is plucked). even the version of 'east of the sun' is great, and a lovely cover too. eleven out of ten. (incidentally, david toop's 'exotica' book mentions the fact that tjader himself hated the album, and 'almost vomited' when he first heard the tapes.) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 11:50:56 -0700 From: cscheffy@kinglet.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Mambo by Tjader Steve Morgan wrote: >'breeze from the east' was the biggest >surprise and probably comes closest to being pure exotica Another of Cal's "nearly pure exotica" albums, and a real beauty on Fantasy (complete with colored vinyl) is "Latin For Lovers." I picked this album up a few years ago and was also really surprised - it is only tinged with latin, and really has much more of a Martin Denny feel - maybe like Latin Village? One of my favorite *exotica* records, though jazz would be where you'd find it.

I highly recommend the film, even if all you can find is the 84-minute version. One of the best of the British horror films, and you get to see Christopher Lee in drag. About 15 years ago, Showtime aired the long version (I think it was around 102 minutes). Around that time, it also made the rounds of artsy theaters. Forgot to mention -- there is one part of the soundtrack that is improved with the inclusion of dialog and SFX. It's the music from the scene where Willow (Britt Ekland) tries to entice Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) with her seductive song. On the CD you can hear her butt-slapping sounds.

Actually, it isn't all that bad; if you really really loved the film in the first place (and it is one of my favorites), then you'd certainly enjoy it. While the presence of ambient sounds and dialogue in the mix was disappointing at first, it does serve to anchor the musical pieces. That is, in and of themselves the instrumental pieces aren't very compelling; even if you're a fan of creepy folk, they're a little more disturbing (except for the lovely fertility song sung by the kiddies) only in the context of the movie. But yes, you do get to hear the buttslaps in that seduction-of-the-Equalizer song, performed by Britt Ekland (before Rod Stewart got his grubby paws on her). [This was my first post, primarily because I have little to contribute: I only own three measly exotica *CDs* (one of which doesn't really count), and grew up in a household with a lot of vinyl, yes, but mostly of Easy Listening dreck (Ray Conniff and his Singers, post-prepared piano Ferrante and Teicher, etc.).] Later, Ben np: godspeed you black emperor!, "slow riot for new zero kanada" http://www.bigfoot.com/~bvergara/ ICQ# 12832406 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 22:06:34 +0200 From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: (exotica) cartoon Jane and Magnus visit the pyramid an easy comic. 1) || =20 || || _|| ||_ =F6 =F6 | | J: look! a pyramid!

This is true, and a good thing too! CD's saves future generations the memory of having to flip or put on another record to hear this symphony. (*what* is he talking about??? Let me explain) As a teen, after seeing the 9th performed on TV I bought an LP boxed set of all 9 symphonies. The 1st, 2nd and 1/2 of the 3rd movement of the 9th was on one record, and the 2nd half of the 3rd and the 4th movement on another record. I may have listened to the 9th from this set a lot because though the years whenever I played a CD of the 9th, or heard it on the radio, and the music gets to that part of the 3rd where the first record ended I remember that that is the place where my record ended. People growing up with CD's will not have this deja vu (sp) and hear the symphony uninterrupted. Their listening experience will be different than mine. Imagine how hard it was for folks growing up with 78's! Now back to regular Exotica posts!

Yes, Dutch breweries are extrordinairy prolific at the moment, I think this Spring Bock is probably also from "Gulpen", there's a nice one from "Grolsch" too, and I'm sure there are many more. Forgot to mention a very fine Old Dutch Product, Boerenjongens.

Incredible as it may seem, RCA stood behind the 45 rpm format as better than the LP. As Peter Schickele parodied on his game show "What's My Melodic Line?": ..."the winner receives a complete edition of Beethoven's 9 symphonies on convenient 45 rpm records!" What was RCA thinking?

Any ideas on what can be done to help it" Not much can be done for actual scratches. Skips can sometimes be fixed with an old Garrard turntable, by finding the skip, shutting off the turntable (Garrards won't automatically ejct when shut off) and then moving the stylus back and forth over the skip a few dozen times. I've fixed many skips in this manner, and I keep a flea-market Garrard TT around for just this purpose. I guess it acts kind of like a lathe and either pops out the crap that was making the record skip, or cuts off the deformed piece of vinyl that made the skip. I know it sounds dopey, but it works, as I say, about 1/2 the time. For scratchy records, go back to the flea market/thrift store and find an old record player (you know, the '50s kind, all in one unit with the hinged lid; do an internet search on "stylus" or something for a new needle) and play your trashed records on that unit. They'll sound great. Put the record player in some other room, slap on that beat copy of Hank Williams' "Sing Me a Blue Song", go sit at the kitchen table, open a brown bottle, and wait for Laura Dern to show up. Age thing? 12/19/51. I guess it shows...

In the "Incredibly Strange Music, Volume 2" book, Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys made a short comment on the music of Brazil's Os Mutantes. It was something along the lines of sounding like "Sgt. Pepper" on acid. Can somebody look this up and post exactly what he said? My local library's copy of "ISM vol.2" wasn't on the shelves and I *really* need to know.

( You would sniff this in discos and get like a 15 seconds high from it; I never even tried it) For a potential world-wide success Rita Lee came up with a version of "Lanca Perfume" with different, harmless lyrics, but failed. I heard an Indonesian version of this song and a personal friend of mine, who had a group called "Lost Gringos" in Duesseldorf in 1984 came out with a German version, called "Bargeld Amore", translates like "Cash Love", sung by 12 year old girls. - -Mo =95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95= =95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95 http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Moritz.Reichelt Second e-mail adress: tiki@europe.com =95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95= =95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95=95 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 21:51:50 -0400 From: Risser Family Subject: (exotica) Sure, it's probably mostly rock schlock... But they could have something good! Peter == LOS ANGELES-Rhino Entertainment surfs the wave of the future with the formation of Rhino Handmade, a Web-only imprint that will issue limited-edition releases from Rhino-owned and -controlled archives. The first title will be made available Monday, August 2. Rhino Handmade releases (each one individually numbered) will be issued in quantities as small as 1,000 copies and will be deleted as soon as this initial run has sold out. They will be available exclusively on-line at the Rhino Handmade Web site and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Each release day, detailed information, including streaming audio files and the pressing limit for the new project, will be posted on the site. Whether a rediscovered classic or forgotten oddity, Rhino Handmade will span all styles of music, from rock and folk, to jazz, spoken word, and more. Fittingly, its initial offering will be from Rhino's first artist, Wild Man Fischer. Also upcoming is a previously unheard 1982 album from Tower Of Power, as well as a set of Devo rarities. Current plans call for a new release every two weeks. Unlike most digital-download and custom-made CD-delivery systems, Rhino Handmade will focus on material that is either out of print or that has never before been released. And fans won't need a computer degree to access the vaults; the new cyberlabel offers the ideal guided tour. Rhino Handmade's smaller quantities and overhead will permit it to release titles that might be deemed too esoteric for conventional distribution outlets. # 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 #428 *****************************
