Don Tiki was a masterpiece in my mind. Really tremendous effort that succeeded beyond my expectations. So can we hope for another release?? How about a Christmas concept album from Don Tiki. We could use a little more Halloween exotica also. Not to mention sci fi exotica. Really, is there hope for another Don Tiki release???

I'm cross posting it to the Pop Nouveau list (which I've just joined) as I really can't figure out which list is the most appropriate forum a both are new recordings but sample so much of interest to the exotica crowd: 1. Various - New Testament of Funk 2000 - Unique Reords - Germany - This one is a top notch compilation following in the "breakbeat" theme. For a change its NOT from the UK so its a bit less expensive. Includes a piece by The Bobby Hughes Experience (also on Fusa Riot) and another likely from the Wilp remixes. What impressed me most is this is the first one I found on my own, but only after careful training from Br. Cleve! There is also a first volume I've ordered which I hope is every bit as good. Highly recommended... 2. Oleg Kostrow - The Great Flashing Tracks from Iwona - Storage Secret Sounds - Germany. This one is a cross between Tipsy/Sukia and Stock, Hausen & Walkman with a little Breakbeat thrown in. Tons of exotica samples and quirky beyond belief! I has a cardboard sleeve and an eye catching cover that certainly worked on me. Comparing to Tipsy or Sukia is the highest compliment I can give a recording so take it for what it's worth! After checking the website link I discovered, to no surprise that there is a connection to the Gagarin Records-Felix Kubin collective.

I don't think fans of the stuff think in terms of titles of tapes - the stuff I've seen is usually a mixture of "hits". Occasionally Bollywood tapes turn up on ebay - IME the sixties and seventies stuff is far better. I had a harder time finding a dealer on the web (except those in India). The best place to look is in little shops in Indian neighborhoods. There is an excellent CD called "Doob Doob A Rama" that has lots of Asha Bhosle on it.

Most of the Indian tapes/CDs (as opposed to British-made comps) tend to be stuff you see once or twice and then never again. Or maybe I just don't hit enough stores. In any case, the tapes are generally about two bucks and the Indian stores (at least in my area) sell CDs at three for $20. They're all pretty cheaply made and don't expect any liner notes but it's certainly inexpensive enough to experiment a little.

Darrell Brogdon does a great job on his radio show, plus has playlists up, etc. So I finally got to see who did what. I still like comps, but it has led me to find the "good stuff". By the way...anybody a big fan of Bobby Darin...didn't care for his rock and roll stuff....but his pop/lounge stuff is great!

I'd be interested in any comments on these - any worth getting? - -Lou (no relationship to Aquarius other than as a satisfied customer) * Aquarius Records --------------- * * 1055 Valencia Street * * San Francisco, CA * * 94110 USA * * aqua@sirius.com * * http://www.aquariusrecordsSF.com * ) ) New Arrivals #91 ( ( ( ( May 10, 2000 ) ) GARLAND, JUDY "Speaks! (Celebrities at Their Worst, Volume 2.5)" (Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God) 2cd 14.98 Volume "2.5" of the series that shows what stars past and present say when the cameras and tape recorders *aren't* supposed to be rolling. This double disc set features just Judy Garland in all her drunken pillpopping glory, much of it purportedly from never-released home recordings she made for her autobiography. "I'm an angry lady: I'm a lady who is angry. I've been insulted, slandered, humiliated -- but still 'America's Sweetheart.' Now I'm rather intelligent, I think, and I'm emotional -- YEAH -- I'm a woman; I'm emotional... I wanted to believe, and I tried my damndest to believe in the rainbow that I tried to get over and I COULDN'T... I've sung, I've entertained, I've pleased your children, I've pleased your wives, I've pleased YOU -- you SONS OF BITCHES! Now you better write it, YOU BETTER PAY FOR IT, OR DON'T LISTEN AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!" HOAHIO "Happy Mail" (Amoebic) cd 15.98 Totally great debut recording by this all-female Japanese electronic avant-pop trio featuring sampler player Sachiko M. (ISO, Ground Zero), koto player Yagi Michiyo (who has a solo disc on Tzadik), and vocalist Haco (After Dinner, Acid Mothers Temple), who also contributes theremin, guitar, tapes, effects, and handclaps. This group also has an upcoming release on Tzadik (May 23rd) which we eagerly await. (This release isn't all that new, but we hadn't stocked it before...) ITO, TEIJI "Meshes: Music for Films and Theater" (What Next Recordings) cd 15.98 Three interesting pieces composed by Teiji Ito, most notably his score for Maya Deren's seminal avant garde film "Meshes of the Afternoon", made in 1943 as a silent film and only graced with sound in 1959 after Deren had met Ito (they later married). I first saw the film ten years ago in school and everyone wanted the music -- thank goodness someone finally put out the soundtrack! Using flute, guitar, cello, Japanese mouth organ, koto, bells, drums, wooden xylophone, didjeridu, Indonesian bronze metallophone, shakers, kazoos, and duck calls, Ito conjures up an extremely evocative sonic world. Also contains his soundtrack to Deren's "The Very Eye of Night" and a theater work called "Savages". None of that trendy soundtrack-to-a-film-that-doesn't-exist-because-I-don't-know-how-to-write-real-s ongs bullshit here -- this is the real thing: soundtrack music that stands ably on its own. JECK, PHILLIP "Vinyl Coda I-III" (Intermedia / Strunz) 2cd 16.98 Why Phillip Jeck isn't as famous as Oval and DJ Spooky is beyond us, as we think his brand of repetitive, crazily evocative warmth is just as good if not better than Oval, and his turntable installations are more interesting than anything Spooky ever (wet)dreamed. For instance, Jeck has subtitled his turntablist experiments "low-fi classics for the electronic generation," working with his orchestra of antique Dansette turntables - an arsenal 180 machines strong!!! With the crackling hiss of records found at flea markets, Jeck's concept for his performances / compositions involve a bottle of glue and a scalpel forcing the record needle into locked grooves at the desired points on the records. Anyway, for the three WONDERFUL "Vinyl Coda" pieces spread across these two cds, Jeck's scratchy vinyl-derived loops fade in and out of percussive polyphony, fractured orchestral majesty, almost industrial / factory grinding, 50's pop vocal snippets, and laughably long applause. It's quiet yet there's SO MUCH going on. And some points it sounds like the quiet parts of a Godspeed or Slint record, gently but urgently loping and hiccupping. Highly recommended! KLOSOWSKI, A.K. & PYROLATOR "Hometaping Is Killing Music" (Captain Trip) cd 18.98 "Pre-sampler plunderphonics" from this German duo, first released on LP in '85 by Ata-Tak and now reissued on cd as a Japanese import. Kurt "Pyrolator" Dahlke played in the amazing Der Plan band of new-wave electro weirdness. This is fun stuff in a similar vein, and you won't believe the '80s Buck Rogers recording studio equipment depicted on the inside. With bonus tracks. STOCK, HAUSEN, & WALKMAN "Organ Transplants 2" (Hot Air) cd 15.98 Stock, Hausen & Walkman's second volume of organ transplants is filled with lots and lots of organs. And we don't mean that in an eviscerated Hermann Nitsch kind of way... well sort of. The Manchester outfit has liberally spiked their lysergic electronica grooves with any form of organ deemed ripe for appropriation. Church pipe organs, Farfisas, hand-crank organs, Hammond organs, and tons more! Like records by fellow plunderphonists People Like Us, "Organ Transplants 2" is full of seemingly obvious musical quotations, tweaked just beyond the point of recognition. Beyond the brain-teasing / tongue-twisting frustration in trying to pinpoint the references (we're damn sure Aavikko pops up at the end of the record), this is wonderful collection of cool weirdness. V/A "Ein Wigwam Steht In Babelsberg" (Cinesounds) cd 14.98 Disturbing and baffling, but pretty amusing collection of music from German "Indianerfilmen" - an entire genre of German films about Native Americans. No, not cowboys and indians, just indians. Yes, there's a lot that's just plain WRONG about this genre - the cover features a buffed out topless German man in Indian drag, replete with long black wig, feather & rifle. The music on this disk, which spans from 1966 to 1978 (must have been a popular genre), ranges from faux-Indian psych-rock (sung in both English and German), country, cabaret, lieder and instrumental scores which, when not actual Morricone covers, sound as though they could accompany a Sergio Leone film. Includes two pages of liner notes in German if you can read it. Supply limited. V/A "OHM: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music: 1948-1980" (Ellipsis Arts) 3xcd 34.00 Following hot on the heels of the Early Modulations compilation from a while back, the Ohm box, takes the same general idea; a brief and cursory overview of the whole of experimental electronic music, and attempts to give it a little more depth. And it does, to a certain degree. But such a massive undertaking could fill 10 cds, or 20. So what we have here, is 3 cds, 42 tracks, from a who's who of electronic muisic in the last 32 years: Clara Rockmore, Oliver Messien, John Cage, Edgard Varese, Stockhausen, La Monte Young, Xenakis, Luc Ferrari, Terry Riley, David Tudor, Morton Subotnick, Steve Reich, Raymond Scott, Brian Eno, Robert Ashley, Bernard Parmegiani and a bunch more. A pretty great assortment, for sure, and definitely the best 20th century/avant electronica primer to come along. The only frustration is that a great number of the pieces are edits, often 5 or 6 minutes from a 20 or 30 minute piece, rendering some slow building gradual shifting works a bit limp. But other than that, the Ohm compilation is pretty excellent, packaged impeccably in a triple digipak, housed in a cool silkscreened transparent slipcase, with a fairly well researched book and some spot on musical choices. Definitely a great place to start. # 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: 10 May 2000 18:44:48 -0700 From: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: (exotica) Exotica comps/Bobby Darin At 06:37 PM 10-05-00 -0500, Colleen in Texas wrote: >By the way...anybody a big fan of Bobby Darin...didn't care for his rock and roll stuff....but his pop/lounge stuff is great! Yes. I agree! Everytime I play Mack the Knife or Beyond the Sea I still get goosebumps and am automatically in swing mode. I don't understand why Frank Sinatra didn't like him. He also did folk type material which I also don't like...but if he starts snapping his fingers, okay!

Perry Coma & I are frothing at our mai tais to unleash another. we've got a zillion (popular # here) concepts and 13 different album titles, but alas lack the kala ($) to go back into the studio right now. we've been a critical success, but not a box office hit as they say in show biz. we're hoping to raise the money via more gigging and a new distribution deal for Europe with ata tak. btw, hope i mentioned that Perry did a tune for the Wilp/Bunny Remix project. also, the Duke Kahanamoku joint release with Hana Ola/Cord and our label may help fund our exotica dreams. will let y'all know when and if DT2 is gonna happen... thanks for the encouragement! alohaderci, Fluid Floyd Taboo Records - --- chuck wrote: > Hi Fluid Floyd > > There just is not enough straight ahead exotica in > the world..Don Tiki was a > masterpiece in my mind.

I really loved the original stuff on "Forbidden Sounds" but I consider your version of Martin Denny's "Exotica" to be better than the original, so... I could suggest the "usual suspects" such as "Quiet Village", "Taboo", or "Caravan" but my vote would be "Love Dance". One thing for sure, if there is ever another Don Tiki album I'd sure love to attend the record-release party!

Lewis etc. Something Weird Video has been doing a bang-up job recently with DVD releases of HG's films. Haven't had time to fully watch Gore Gore Girls, 2000 Maniacs and the classic Blood Feast in their restored glory, but so far the film transfers are spectacularly lurid and usually have a funny alternate audio commentary track of Herschell talking about the film. Blood Feast has an instructional short tacked on about meat carving starring Harvey Korman(aka Hedley Lamar.) Appears that SWV is reissuing its most popular titles on DVD - upcoming releases include Betty Page shorts(films that is!), two Chesty Morgan movies and Blaze Starr Goes Nudist, which I originally saw from a hill overlooking a drive-in theatre. And you know the music is gonna be great to go with the eye candy. Meanwhile Argento's "Profundo Rosso" is on DVD uncut with the Goblin score, "Bird with Crystal Plumage" has a jukebox to play the isolated Morricone score, Esquivel is heard as cocktail lounge music in the Clooney-Lopez "Out of Sight" and a song or two can be played from a DVD jukebox, and finally the funny high school flick "Election" includes Patience & Prudence, April March and Joey Altruda. So life is beautiful, ain't it? Fuad Jameses, Busy preparing an Egyptian Feast for Mother's Day.

I was most interested in this part: >he made the biggest fuss about Raymond Scott. He went on and on >about what a genius he was Moog and Scott definitely were aware of each other--Moog built some electronics projects for Scott, and Scott was customer #2 for Moog's first synth. But I'd seen some older interviews where Moog kind of made Scott sound like an enthusiastic crackpot (e.g. Grand Royal #3, page 57). Scott was really paranoid and secretive, so it may be that Moog just didn't know how far ahead of his time Scott's electronic music really was. I suspect it's the Manhattan Research CDs that opened his eyes too! [P.S.

Yes, Moog did talk about what an introvert Scott was, and that he was a bit paranoid about his ideas, music and inventions being stolen. Moog also said that Scott died broke. > >I suspect it's the Manhattan Research CDs that opened his eyes >too! Yes, after Moog played some of the new Scott CD for us, someone in the crowd was really intrigued about the music and wondered if it was available commercially, and Moog was very happy to show everyone the new CD Set. There was so much more that happened and that was said by MOog that I didnt include in the post. Moog is such a character, I wish that more people would have been there to hear him talk, his lecture was nearly 2 and a half hours long, but alas, it was in Southern Indiana in the middle of a corn field (no joke, the school was in a corn field about 1 mile out of town) I also wish he would have talked more about some of his new items he has out, MoogerFooger etc. - -jonny ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # 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 #714 *****************************
