Subject: (exotica) SESAC Recordings

    Would appreciate any information about SESAC Recordings.  Picked
up about 30 of their LPs at a garage sale a couple years ago.  All
of the album covers are of the same style, black with a SESAC logo on
the front.  The top half of the front cover has a label affixed
which wraps around to the back cover.  There appears to be color-
coding to the cover labels: blue for light classical, red for easy
listening, yellow for vocal performances.  Performers on these albums
include Richard Maltby, Richard Hayman, Bill Snyder, Jose Melis,
Alfredo Antonni, and there is even a Jordanaires record in the bunch.
Have never seen these anywhere again--any info. is appreciated!

Subject: (exotica) REVIEW> Cordara Orchestra

if you liked the tracks by Cordara Orchestra on the 2 "Mo'plen" compilation
cd's (on La Douce/Irma, from Italy) then you should get his full cd "the
best of". sound quality is not perfect, as these racks were mastered from
vinyl. some tracks (tipsy/battuta d'arresto/hypotesis) remind me of
Mirageman, because of the electric fuzzed guitars. most tracks are better
crafted than Mirageman's songs. Cordara was a diplomated pianist and
conductor, after all. it all sounds more gentle than Mirageman too. some
latin influences (distensione/saguia) , lots of funky influences
(especially on target/irony), but a sophisticated kind of funk. almost all
of the songs have the flute as main instrument, which gives it all a jazzy
feeling too. the last 3 tracks of this 18 track album don't fit in very
well i find, they're much more funky and the last one is even disko.
as far as i can tell these are all original Cordara compositions.
the "smart" compilers call it "italian sound gallery". it does fit in with
the british loungecore scene, and yet it is differnet all together. there
are more jazz, latin and funk influences here.
rated very good!

I tuned into this and was pleasantly surprised though there were a
few ultra-cheesy morsels (eg: Charles Aznovoice) which were a bit
much for me.

But as for Perry Botkin...

After hearing his contribution I was inspired to see what he
was up to nowadays as his arrangement of "Ode to Billy Joe" is
in my all time Top 10 (anyone know what LP that came out on -
my copy is on a Readers Digest comp?) - the way it builds and builds
is spine-tinglingly wonderful!

Only to find that, as seems to be the case with many EZ folk, he's
now into experimental electronics!

Check out:

http://kspace.com/KM/music.sys/Botkin/pages/title.html

He's got two CDs out at the moment (Combines and Combines 2) and
there are samples of both to listen to on the site.

A question to Stateside list members - how commonplace are Botkin LPs
over yonder?  I don't think I've ever seen one over here.  And who
did he arrange for mostly?

Speaking of mixing and horror stories;

Dissvelt/Kid Baltan's MASTERPIECE recording of "The Song of The 2nd
Moon/The Elektrosonics-Electronic Music" originally issued on Phillips and
then on Limelight as the music bed.  I think though that they slowed it

Subject: (exotica) Capitol Records info sought

Hello folks,
Can anyone with a knowledge of the workings of
Capitol in the 1960's give an educated guess to
the following question please?

Two consecutive Lettermen albums were:
ST 2142 "She Cried".................November 1964
ST 2213 "You'll never walk alone"....January 1965

I actually need to know when the second album was
recorded: is it likely that it could have been cut
before the previous album was out?  Before that
even?  As early as March 1964?

The only clues I have are on the Capitol Collector's
series Lettermen album, which shows the tracks being
mostly cut about two months before issue.  The same
pattern also shows in the Four Preps issues for the
same era.

Thanks, Hugh.

If you liked that release, you'll love Pierre Henry's lp "Variations for a
door & a sigh" (Limelight Records LS 86059). 25 brief tracks which
alternate between the sounds of someone sighing & a door creaking!

Ideal for compilation tape use or radio airplay me thinks.

This isn't an earth-shattering observation, but despite its total
meaninglessness, it struck me as something worth passing along:

Here's another for the "separated at birth" album cover category: I
finally got a copy of Perez Prado's "Rockambo" LP (RCA LPM/LSP-2308),
only to find the woman from The Three Suns' "Fever & Smoke" (RCA
LPM/LSP-2310) wearing that same outfit and dancing inside the second "O"
in "Rockambo." Kinda makes you wonder if she's hanging out on 2309 as
well, whatever that record is...

Hi Everyone.  I'm new to the exotica scene.  I found you through the
web.  Before that, I never would have believed that anyone besides me
would be interested in this stuff.

I need some information.  I'm basically looking for some records, or
recordings of them.

Right now, I'm interested in a few specific things, but no doubt will
become acquainted with much other cool stuff as things progress.

Can anyone tell me where I can get "Stereo Action" records?  I have a
bunch, but need to complete my collection.

My favorite record in the Stereo Action series is "Futura."  Does
anyone know of other music that sounds like this?   Any insights
would be appreciated.

I'm also interested in Dick Schorry albums.  Again, does anyone know
where I can get hold of some?

Anyone who wants to recommend any other cool stuff is more than
welcome to do so.  My musical interests are truely wide, and I'm
always on the lookout for cool stuff.

Thanks very much.

Peter

I'm annoyed i missed that first programme now, it looks like a broad
coverage of 'easy' - good to see Music For Airports etc included.

About a year ago their was a Top 100 of Easy Listening produced by Radio 2
and published in The Times saturday magazine. Anyone else see that? A lot
of pretty obvious ones in there but a couple of unusual ones too.

Haskell and Brian Eno ...

Perry Botkin arranged and produced for The T-bones, the sixties band that
concocted an enjoyable instrumental sound somewhere between surf and easy
listening. The LP's I know of are "No matter what shape (your stomach's
in)" and "Sippin 'n Chippin". They may be available on CD, dunno. Botkin
composed two tracks on the first-mentioned LP. It also features Bob "Music
to watch girls by" Crewe's "Let's hang on". And a version of "Fever" that
begins just like a Pixies song!

I also really love the Readers Digest comp Botkin version of "Ode to Billy
Joe" (composer Bobbie Gentry's LP of which it was the title track was
actually arranged and conducted by Jimmie Haskell). I think some of the
Readers Digest comp stuff of the late sixties was absolutely super. So
well-arranged in an easy, pop instrumental mode. Botkin's "Billy Joe" was
part of the great 1969 Readers Digest four-record box-set "Love is blue".
It was also in the "Festival of International Hits" mega-set. People with
top credentials contributed to these box-sets: Nelson Riddle, Billy May,
Les Reed, The New Classic Singers and Pete King.

The Readers Digest Johnny Gibbs rendition of "Love is blue" is truly
brilliant and my favourite of the many versions of the song I've heard - it
has a much more driving, harder beat than the Paul Mauriat hit recording
and is just generally a sure winner for any party or dance floor. (Almost
on the power of this track alone I turned friends away from Pavement and
The Chemical Brothers ... into EZ ! )

And for what it's worth, on the "Love is blue" set there are quite a few
very well-executed Botkin tracks: An top notch, beautiful version of
"There's a kind of hush". Two songs by the unsung genius mr Bert Kaempfert,
"The Happy Trumpeter" and "That Happy Feeling". Also: "It must be him",
"For what it's worth", "Here comes my baby", "Ode to Billie Joe", "A whiter
shade of pale", "Eleanor Rigby", "Wonderful World", and "What the world
needs now is love".

  I misunderstood what you were saying, then.  Genuine appreciation is
  different from the ironic type.  I like The Carpenters and always have.
  That tribute album a few years back was reeally painful, because so many
  of the bands were doing winking versions of the songs:  "Hey, we know
  these are cheesy songs, so we'll butcher them."  How fitting that a lot of
  the members of the bands who pull that kind of stuff will be corporate
  middle managers in 5 years, while "Yesterday Once More" will be coming out
  of the Muzak systems in their offices.

  I also detest the lounge revival for that very reason - a smothering sense
  of irony and postmodern remove.  There comes a point when doing something
  and pointing at that doing at the same time - "Look, I'm reviving a dead
  trend, which means I'm hip because the trend was hip, because it's so
  kitschy, because no one's done it before, etc." - becomes a hall of
  mirrors that removes one from any real experience, and that's truly
  pathetic.

  It's condescending in the sense of saying, "Oh, we know better now, don't
  we?", and I'm as guilty of it as anyone, having embraced Negativland's
  withering dissection of those '50s/'60s hygiene films.  I used to be a big
  fan of MST3K, who use the same paradigm, but the show just got to be too
  much of the same joke - fun poked at others for trying, albeit failing, to
  create something.

  I guess that's what really bothers me about the lounge-revival and the
  whole ironic school - that it gives people an excuse not to try to create
  anything, to do nothing but laugh at those who *do* try.  Effort is seen
  as a bad thing by "hipsters", and that attitude leads nowhere but down.

  I should note that the Moog Cookbook do not try for any sense of period.
  I would place them in the same catagory as "Weird Al" Yankovic or Tom
  Lehrer, satirists using common idioms to make a point about those idioms.

So it was told to me and further corresponded by the fact that the RA files for

Still, Kudos for the ability to hear new stuff before buying it.
I'd like to encourage that, for I am truly tired of shelling out fifteen bucks
for crap.
And this stuff is ever so tasty...

So, I'm not as impressed as if it were a single person,
But it's still a great deal.

Plus, they've got the whole Barbarella soundtrack on realAudio.

So.
Take that for what you will.

Vik's continues to be (as it always has been) a comnpletely non-commerical
hobby site designed, edited, written, coded and maintained by one single
person. in the early days, it was accused of being some elaborate marketing
company tool to cash in on the "lounge" trend. guess i should've expected
the caroline connection. yes, Vik's uses a bit of Caroline's bandwidth for
Real Audio. No, the sites are not on the same server (caroline.com has a
server and chaoskitty,com has it's own server). yes, the Scamp site at
Caroline is in fact a copy of the Scamp site at Vik's (actually the
Caroline Scamp site is more up to date). Why? Because Vik's day job is the
internet director for Caroline (you don't actually think Vik's pays the
bills) and he gave Caroline the Scamp site rather than building a new one.

Other than the day job connection and the use of the Real Audio server,
Caroline has absolutely nothing to do with Vik's (either monetarily or
editorially). Most of the albums featured in 1997 were purchased by Vik
from Other Music in NYC (a handful came from Vik being a music biz weasel).

hope this helps,
Vik "not Caroline" Trola

I agree Jack and thanks for turning me on to Dusty Grooves.  I don't

what we  like and for a reasonable price.

For those of you who are anywhere near Chicago, DustyGroove
has begun opening its doors to the public on weekends.
Actually, I think it is Friday and Saturday.  Check
your Readers, Chicago people.  I'm going next weekend,
so I'll give a report if I find anything noteworthy.
Next thing you know, they'll be opening a regular
store!

The Scored I-O comp from JTI records is just that, with bands swapping
members.   JTQ also covers 3 soundtracks on the unfortunately-named Acid
Jazz Movie & TV Themes from Acid Jazz/Hollywood Records.  Great
arrangements--intense beats.  Maybe there are more JTQ comps--what do I
know?

The reason that they can offer what "other people" sell at "more
reasonable" prices is because they are also a DISTRIBUTOR, meaning they get
it for at least a few dollars less than someone who has a "store" gets it at.

Has anyone else noticed this?

In a TV spot for the movie "Wag The Dog" there's a snippet of someone doing
something that sounds like Perrey & Kingsley's "Swan's Splashdown" (opening
riff). What's up there?

Subject: (exotica) REVIEW> The Forbidden Sounds of Don Tiki

do you like wordless vocals? Martin Denny? exotic percussion? bird calls?
loungy "Las Vegas" vocals? lazy cocktail jazz? Hammond sounds? 90's lounge?
exotic atmospheres?
then get "The Forbidden Sounds of Don Tiki" (Taboo TAB 8888).
It doesn't happy very often that you get a chance to listen to a _new
production_ of *classic exotica*!
Martin Denny is on it, AND Lopaka Colon, son of Augie!
Almost 50 minutes of warm, excellently played "exotic lounge", that will
bring Hawaiian heaven into this cold winter season.
9 well crafted originals, 2 Denny compositions, 2 covers; 4 vocal tracks,
the rest instrumental.
Gorgeous cover painting by Mark Ryden, who also did Capitols "The exotic
moods of Les Baxter" double cd.
listen to them at Radio Vik if you hesitate!

Actually, it's the opening riff from "Walking On the Sun" by Smashmouth.

It *is* pretty similar to the P & K tune, though...

Subject: (exotica) Outer Space Electronic Exotica

Hello everyone:)

Well the day has finally come that I can truly present to you a project
that I have been working on, along with Stefan Kery and his Subliminal
Sounds label in Sweden and that is;

"Attileo Mineo Conducts Man In Space With Sounds" is now available on
Compact Disc and a gorgeous package it is, I must admit:)

It's outer space exotica with electronics and it is truly a masterpiece
like I guarantee you have never heard anywhere

It also has Spoken Word Introductions that speak of "The Promise Of The
Future" that are tremendous in their own right.

Originally recorded in the early 50's and released at the Seattle State
Worlds Fair in 1962/63.

It was played inside of a ride at the World's Fair called "The Bubbleator"
It is ___awesome___, guaranteed (as always)

You can read all about it and see it too on my New Arrivals page at my web
site at
http://www.jackdiamond.com/NewArrive.htm

Titles: 1)Welcome To Tomorrow, 2)Gayway To Heaven, 3)Soaring Silence,
4)Mile-A-Minute MonoRail, 5)Around The World, 6)Century 21, 7)Man In Art,
8)The Queen City, 9)Man Seeks The Future, 10) Boeing Spacearium, 11)Science
of Tomorrow, 12) Space Age World's Fair, 13-24) Man In Space With Sounds

Last copy I sold of the original went for $200.00 as this is a 1 of a kind
release

This is it!  We have landed and are now taking passengers:)

Retail as well as Wholsale Inquiries welcome

Overseas contact Stefan Kery of Subliminal Sounds at [e-mail]
and right here in the good 'ol USA, I'm the man, at least for now:)

Most sincerely, the guy who truly has your musical cultural best interests
in mind, unlike the chain stores and corporations.

Jack Diamond
