Subject: (exotica) The latest haul, but don't tell my wife!

I had to spirit these finds into the house because, as many of you know, I
recently bought four boxes worth of records.  Here is what I came up with
(haven't heard all of it yet):

1. Korla Pandit - Music of Mystery and Romance
This is on Fantasy, on red vinyl (Mort Sahl's first was issued this way
too).  Solo organ and great stuff.

2. Apparently, all this talk of 10" records and Cook has gotten to me.  Not
only do I find a record (12 inches) supervised by Cook  (a fellow named
Foote?), I found a 10" record called "Speed the Neighbors Exit" by Jimmy
Carroll.  With a note on the back that said something about "Bull in a China
Shop Hi-Fi", this record yelled "Buy me, daddy!".  It is an assault of
bells, drums and other percussion, much like DAVID Carroll.  One of the
tracks is "Tinkle, Tinkle Little Bell" Is Jimmy a brother to David?  Has
anyone else heard this?  Do I know where the question mark key is on my
machine or what???

3. Another 10 - incher was a beat but playable "An American in Paris"
starring a fellow named Leslie Caron and a woman named Gene Kelly.  "I'll
Build a Stairway to Paradise" by Georges Guetary is too much!

US Version:
This plus a 78 by the Harmonaires and a 45 by the Gants cost me $6.96!
International:
This plus a 78 by the Harmonaires and a 45 by the Gants cost me 41 Francs!
This plus a 78 by the Harmonaires and a 45 by the Gants cost me 10 Canadian
Dollars
This plus a 78 by the Harmonaires and a 45 by the Gants cost me 4 Pounds!
This plus a 78 by the Harmonaires and a 45 by the Gants cost me 10 Swiss
Francs!
This plus a 78 by the Harmonaires and a 45 by the Gants cost me 12, 235
Lira!

Whew!

4. Can we talk more about 10 inch records and Cook?  It worked for me!
Let's also talk about Stormy Weather by the Five Sharps, how it felt when
you won the lottery, dream vacations, world peace and 0% unemployment?  Who
knows what can happen next?

Yes, I do know who Kelly and Caron are,
Brian Phillips

Really?  And how would you make that point clearer to them?  I've got the
Hollyridge Strings doing the Beach Boys songbook.  Is there still hope?
(By the way, if that was a flame that's okay because I like being flamed.
I've never quite understood how a bunch of people could discuss music
without occasionally impugning the other's taste.)
This is kind of a funny question for me because it reminds me of all the
different ways of ORGANIZING records that I've come across.  The people
like me who have their records in twenty different categories on the one
side and on the other side, the ones who have all their records in
alphabetical order with no regard for genre or category.
I don't have Beach Boy records but if I did, I'd put them near the Beatles,
except I don't have Beatles so maybe I'd put them near the Beefheart -
unless you think Beefheart's not really his last name so you should put him
under "Captain" instead.
But I wouldn't put my phantom Beach Boys records next to my Les BAXTER
records, assuming I had my exotica stuff in alphabetical order which I
don't.  And assuming I had my exotica in one section which I also don't.
I don't know.  I think of the Beach Boys as a rock n roll band.  Or as the
pathetic shadow of a once great rock n roll band.
I don't think of them as lounge or easy listening - even if a lot of their
stuff is soft and easy - or as exotica, even if their beach, island vibe
relates to exotica.
This keeps coming up.  People posting "I know this isn't quite exotica but
do you mind if I talk about this anyway??"  The permission-asking gets kind
of tiresome.  But so does the justification...
"Can I talk about this please?  It isn't exotica but on second thought IT
REALLY IS".
I'm still back on the record organizing question.  I'm ashamed to admit
that I have my Marty Robbins Hawaaian record with my Hawaaian records
rather than with my Marty Robbins records.

Subject: (exotica) You only live once

Did a bit of shopping at the weekend at two record fairs at Victoria and
Tottenham Court Road and emerged with some bizarre new gems (including Mort
Garson's Zodiac Sounds). While I was there, I spotted the 'You Only Live
Once' soundtrack - not the 1937 film but a more recent (late 60s/early 70s)
film. The LP has a blue and white cover, does anybody know more details?

An excellent soundtrack, by the underrated Jacques Loussier. A couple of
tracks from this have shown up on some EZ and funk bootlegs - - "Clara's
Jerk" is on "Beat Actione", for example. There's some bossa nova and other
groovy sounds. Don't know anything about the film, except that it's from
around 1967.

Loussier also did the beautiful "Dark Of The Sun" track (the theme is
incredible). He's best known for a series of albums featuring his jazz
arrangements of Bach compositions (Loussier is a pianist, btw)

The Maurice Pop disc is great; it's that uptempo, horn driven late 60's
'Sound Gallery' style of Discotheque a Go-Go. Highly recommended if you
like that style.

The Bottcher disc was a disappointment; I was expecting more of that Go-Go
sound, but overall it's fairly syrupy and slow. But if you like that
'elevator' sound...........

Haven't heard the McFarland, but I've got high expectations for it, based
on his "Bloop Bleep" track on 'Les Yper Sound'. Personally, I'm a big fan
of that uptempo Latin groove (made by folks of all ethnic backgrounds)

No, this wasn't a flame. This "point" business refered to you saying someone
having Beach Boys in a collection they thought to be exotic as "missing the
point". I wrote my comment above simply to point out what I wrote in my next
statement , that music is subjective. I personally think a track like
"Diamond Head" is an exotic classic which I am quite sure was recorded in
direct reference to Hawaii-exotica culture. No, they are not an exotica
band. Yes, they have exotica tracks. I don't think there is one person on
this list that has that track who would disagree with me.

Much light pop music often gets categorised as "Easy listening" music - like
The Free Design, for instance. Beach Boys are light pop music quite often,
almost easy-esque.

If someone said to me, "I like exotica. I've got the Beach Boys." Well, I'd
wonder a bit. But if someone into exotica mentioned how much they liked the
Beach Boys, I'd know immediately what they were talking about. Your comments
just kinda seemed like since you don't particularly see the exotic side of
this band (am I right to assume that you probably wouldn't buy their stuff -
note: I didn't say "dislike them", I just said you wouldn't buy their
stuff..) And I think there are plenty of people out there who could
understand their relevance in briefly discussing them from time to time on
the list. Much like Sinatra. He's seen as easy or lounge, which a lot of
exotica gets classified as. I don't see him as "exotic" although he probably
has the odd track that is.

Which is why I made the comment at the end that we're all just really
passionate about music. I like the looseness of the list.


>This keeps coming up.  People posting "I know this isn't quite exotica but

>REALLY IS".

I agree. People should just ask something if they want. We all have a wide
range of musical knowledge. People should just ask or write what comes up.
It just seems that you took offense when someone questioned why there was so
much Sinatra talk and to try to justify your point, you started pointing out
how un-exotic the Beach Boys were. Well, that is your opinion, but it isn't
that far-stretched to see them as having exotica-influenced tracks, in mine.
And considering the original posting that started this off was about their
work getting covered by a Mariachi band, a long time exotica/EZ practice,
the covering of pop hits, it all seemed kinda topical. And then it was
discussed about their cancellation of working with The High Llamas, a band
that is quite commonly considered as modern exotica.

So I think it is relevant to give them the odd nod. And there were only a
handful of postings about them anyway.

>I'm still back on the record organizing question.  I'm ashamed to admit

As for categorising, another subjective thing. Can't comment on that one...I
just do what feels right so I can find stuff.

Again, no flames from me...like 'em or not.

Subject: (exotica) re: Dear Ex, I didn't think...

This is at LEAST a day late, 'cuz I go the digest route.  But I have to say,
 there is a warm, bitter-sweet feel-good as I see some of these
reactions...  Even Alice Faye.  I've watch some movie classics and
appreciated why she had her turn in the spotlight.  Ella and Sarah were
mentioned.  I also think of so many of the great authors/composers who gave
the great interpreters the material.  Start with Johnny Mercer.  Or Hoagy
Carmichael.  When you analyze the "why" of the world's reaction to
Sinatra's death, versus so many others..  one place to start is life-style.
 None of the aforementioned were regular subjects of gossip and scandal.
None had quite the pose or attitude that Sinatra had, that seemed to
fascinate so many.  I think these are legitimate factors in piecing
together an explanation.  I think they say a lot about this media-guided
world!

Subject: Re: (exotica) The distant and mysterious....Sinatra?

Just my perception here, but lately I feel like we're doing far too much
debating over whether [fill-in-the-blank] is or isn't exotica. It's beginning
to suck all of the fun out of the room, and I can't help but wonder if it might
not have something to do with our dwindling traffic. People afraid of having
their posts "policed"? We're never going to agree on *exactly* what the term
"exotica" itself means, so why even try to administer litmus tests to artists?

I think we all have a pretty good feel for the general neighborhood of where
we're at. Why not just relax and not worry about it so much? We might go off
the path now and then, but we'll get back to it before too long. And the change
of scenery will do us good.

Regarding Sinatra, I will admit that he's never quite connected for me (yet).
But I *do* respect him. Anyway, I know from experience that when an artist
who's really been significant to you dies, the feelings can approach those felt
when you lose a relative (not immediate family). And it's helpful to talk about
them. So for the people feeling that way about Sinatra, I think it's fine for
them to remember him here.

Just my opinions. Thanks for reading.

Subject: (exotica) CD - Another Crazy Cocktail Party

I have a CD called "Another Crazy Cocktail Party - Shake Your Congas", on
the BMG/RCA Victor label, apparently produced through BMG Ariola Belgium,
1996 and distributed through BMG USA.  It's claim to fame is the song
"Pancho", written by David Bowie for a 1960's European TV show (or so says
a large yellow sticker on the front).  It's kinda Latinesque/cha-cha stuff.
 I have been trying to find out about the artists on the disc
(specifically, what years the songs were released), but have come up empty
handed.  And trying to get any info out of BMG is like pulling teeth.  Does
anyone know the years these songs were released, or any info on the
artists?  Here's the songlist:

1.   Los Albinos - Bing Bang Conga
2.   Ruben Calzado & Orchestra - Chiquito
3.   The Golden Dream Orchestra - When the world was mine
4.   Jo Carlier et Son Orchestre - Aquarella
5.   Jean Claude Pelletier et Son Ochestre - Loin de mes yeux pres de mon
coeur
6.   Los Albinos - Go Go Conga
7.   Jean Evans his piano & his strings - Blue Candlelight
8.   The Boxeros - Los Patatos
9.   Reg Owen & his Orchestra - Obsession
10. DeeDee & her Panchos - Pancho
11. Los Albinos - Chinese Conga
12. The Sadi Quartet - Blue Sunrise
13. The Peter Loland Orchestra - La Cucarachacha
14. Peter Krender his piano & his orchestra - Birds of paradise
15. Stan La Banm & his orchestra - A la salud
16. Los Albinos - The swinging conga
17. The Clippers - Forever
18. Willy Albimoor & his lucky 13 - Headin' north
19. Teddy Mertens his trumpet & his orchestra - Marijuana brass
20. Los Albinos - Frere Jacques conga

Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Agreed. In the case of O'l Blue Eyes, I wanted to keep that thread going
because I thought it was an interesting example of the type of artist
that illustrates that point perfectly. (poifectly)

I tend to believe this list uses the term "exotica" in the
absence of a better expression. No single word is going to
hit the idea squarely, so exotica will have to do. That was
what I was trying to get at, and I wanted others to weigh in
and see how they would describe the same idea. This was merely an
excercise in semantics - not attempt to narrow the focus of these
discusssions. I took pretty strong measures in my original post
to try to keep that point clear.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being on the list is
watching threads about  ...oh... let's say Serge Gainsbourg
metastize into ruminations about Robert Plant and then touch
on the subject of 50's space-age furniture - all without
changing the subject line. Whether or not it's "exotica"
means little to me, and likely little to other listers. This is
an All-Star lineup of personalities on this list - just about
any topic you all want to tackle will doubtless be interesting.


So I hear ya. Enough already with my pedantics. Let's talk about
cheesecake album covers!

Subject: Re: (exotica) The distant and mysterious....Sinatra?

I'm getting a feeling (correct me if I'm wrong) that some of the
anti-Frank sentiment on this list is coming more from politics rather
than true talent.  Both my parents and grandparents disliked Sinatra for
totally non-musical reasons (which makes me kind of a blacksheep).  My
Grandma because of his "infidelity" and my grandpa because he stayed home
while he was in Europe fighting the Jerrys.  Even I was a Frank-hater in
my punk teens.  Some people say he was too slick. He was beyond just
"slick", he was the standard everyone aspired to.  Everytime I listen to
him, all those stories I've heard about him being a jerk or whatever, go
right out the window.  I'm 28 now, and I'm so glad I had the wherewithal
to come around to such great talent.

Subject: (exotica) Do any of you know ...

there is a song by the dream warriors (granted, not genre related) whose
title is, i think, 'my definition of a boombastic jazz style' (or
something along those lines) -- anyway - they sample these great loops of
swanky music and i was wondering if anyone happens to know
a. what i'm talking about
and
b. what they are sampling.

thanks

a. yes
b. Quincy Jones "Soul Bossa Nova" which now has the infamy of being the
opening music to the dreadfully unfunny Austin Powers...

Yes, and why not. If part of or even most of the whole Frankieboy-appeal comes
from categories like slickness, coolness, or if he was the model that
everybody wanted to be etc. than those political questions are rather
interesting.

I reported about two of the 3 in an earlier mail. The Gary Mc Farland is
indeed great! I had 3 pieces of this on a tape that a friend gave me 4 years
ago and they defined among others my understanding of this new Easy Listening
Thing that was just developing. I tried to explain the impact Farland had on
me, but in vain. I think he's so strange and pleasant at the same time. A def buy!

Read Julian Cope's Book about "Kraut Rock (One head's Guide to the Grosse

Subject: (exotica) 78s

I just came into a slew of 78s from the 1940s and early '50s. I'm pretty
sure it's been addressed on the list before but I hope you'll indulge me
as I ask again how best to give these discs a cleaning. I know there'll be
hiss and pops no matter what but I'd like to get them as clean-sounding as
possible.

Anyone have expertise in this area?

Good points indeed. Maybe I'm a purist, but when I evaluate an artist,
the music comes first and the other stuff is merely incidental such as
image, folklore, politics and such.  I guess its easier to do that for a
yungin' like myself who wasn't there when it was happening.  I can't just
say that I don't like artist/singer/whatever because of something they've
done apart from the music.  For lack of a better cliche', the song
remains the same.  Somebody shoot me!!

I've seen two different TV commercials for this film (I think it's this
one) wherein they've used "Vertigogo" by ComEd, and "Sentimental Journey"
by Esquivel (clearly not looking much farther than the _Four Rooms_
soundtrack).

one of the main reasons i started picking up martin denny albums (blindly)
back in 1981 from the thrift store next the to record store where tosh (from
our list here) and i worked (for years) was because brian wilson mentioned
martin denny
in some interview from then, in reference to the instrumental arrangements
on 'pet sounds'.

there is a definitive brian wilson/exotica 'crossover' dynamic out there.
its not hard to distill if one spends the time looking :)

frank is not exotica, nor is he really lounge, though some in proximity to
him were.

frank is soul, sensuality, and style... all wrapped up in the consumate pop
artist
of the century.  one would have to probably read fifty volumes of carl jung,
to
really 'get down' the essense of why frank has and will speak to the ages.
but best, skip the fifty volumes of jung, and just listen.

the two mandatory (and non obvious) sinatra albums;

uptempo swinging hard, his "never mind the bullocks" if he had one -
    "Ring A Ding Ding" ( Reprise 1961)

down tempo brutally suicidial saloon set -
    "No One Cares"  (Capitol 1958)

Any idea where we could find this? Is this the same Motor that Andreas

It was his first digital recording.  If you're a fan it's quite good.
If you really want it I did notice the CD reissue listed for only
US$8.00 through Wayside Music, a US mail order outfit of high repute.

KS is one of the pivotal points of discussion within the "Space Music"
list (along with Steve Roach & Robert Rich). Anything you ever want
to know about him (including some really classic verbal brawls
between self proclaimed KS image styler Klaus D. Mueller and a few
less than enthusiastc fans) has likely been discussed there. I
wounder if there's an archive? Having some 30 KS records myself I have
to say I burned out on them (along with the list!) after many years
but he's truly a legend in the space music field and is still going
strong and touring.
