Subject: (exotica) Carlos Rustichelli?

I've recently been delving into many an Italian soundtrack from the 1960s,
and this Carlos Rustichelli guy is amazing, my discovery of the year thus
far. Does anyone here know anything about him?

Re: Air: Moon Safari - I'm glad it's not just me that thinks it's *very*

Laila France: Orgonon (Bungalow records)
I'm sure many ppl will say it's nothing new, and it's certainly not
groundbreaking, but still rather good. Produced by Momus (although I
haven't heard any of his albums).
Sleevenotes:
 'By listening to this record by Miss Laila France, the new Thai-Parisian
Supergirl you are not just gaining an introduction to Trance Cocktail
Music. But are contributing to the level of Orgasmatronic Orgone Energy in
the world'

Subject: (exotica) Gainsbourg items

I've been obsessed by Gainsbourg for several years, and find his music so
compelling that I found no need to look beyond the 2 volume french
'gainsbourg a gainsbarre' complilation until recently.

However, I soon realized that I had been incredibly stupid to pass up on
those three Phillips/mercury compilations ('the pop one , the latin one
and the jazz one').
Actual titles are 'comic strip', 'couleur cafe' and 'du jazz dans le
ravin'.  Like everyone else, I saw them on the racks for probably a year
or more, but didn't buy them, perhaps because the song titles they chose
as names are not amongst my favourites.  But they are absolutely
brilliant releases.

I picked up the Jazz one a few months ago, and it is one of the best CDs
I have ever bought, and an excellent example of how valuable CDs can be
(although I will look, I am unlikely ever to find the vinyl).  The other
two followed soon after.  Many of the tracks on 'du jazz dans le ravin'
are from 10" singles, while I've never found the albums 'gainsbourg
percussions' and 'confidentiel' anywhere.  Judging from how many DJs I
know who play them, they should have released those three compilations on
vinyl.  Oh well.

Re: Ashley's comments on Beat at Cinnetia Vol II, I would agree that the
cover art misrepresents the content, but I actually still think it's a
good compilation.  Again, these things are so much more valuable when
they contain stuff you are never going to hear otherwise.  In particular,
that first song by Pierre Piccioni (Mr Dante Fontana) is unbelievable.

regards
Jonny

PS I have the BB compilation; is there a France Gall one with mainly her
Gainsbourg stuff on it?

does anyone have any suggestions for locating vintage (50's, 60's) TV and
Radio commecials on CD, besides the TeeVee Toons release?

i usually tape 'em off of videos and wish there was a better way.

Also radio spots, Public Service Announcements, jingles - anything like that i
am interested in finding.  I know about PAMS, but that is about it.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

Subject: (exotica) Esquivel film project

LEGUIZAMO BANDLEADER FOR 'ESQUIVEL'

By Chris Petrikin

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - John Leguizamo is attached to star in the lead
role in a movie about Juan Garcia Esquivel, the famed Mexican bandleader
who pioneered space age bachelor pad music.

"Esquivel" is set up at Fox Searchlight, the arthouse division of 20th
Century Fox, and will be written and directed by Robert Pulcini and
Shari Springer Berman, the duo behind the documentary "Off the Menu: The
Last Days of Chasen's."

Leguizamo, who will get a producer's credit, was seen last year in New
Line's "Spawn," and currently is starring in his one-man show "Freak,"
which makes its Broadway bow Feb. 12 at the Cort Theater.

"Esquivel" is set in the 1960s and will chronicle the life and career of
the Mexican composer, producer and bandleader. His recordings were
sprung from obscurity in late 1994 when the Bar/None label issued "Space
Age Bachelor Pad Music," a term that had been applied to the hi-fi music
he pioneered in the 1960s.

Coupled with reissues on other labels, Esquivel soon became the sultan
of exotica and was reinstated, as Variety had reported in the 1960s, "as
being to pop music approximately what Aaron Copland is to serious music
or what a John Coltrane is to jazz."

Born in Mexico in 1918, Esquivel moved to the U.S. in 1957 to record for
RCA Victor. His arrangements took full advantage of the stereo
phenomenon through bongos, glass-shattering brass, wordless vocals,
sparkling xylophones and steel guitar. As his arrival coincided with the
birth of rock 'n' roll, Esquivel was in essence the last great big band
leader; although he was able to work into the 1970s in Las Vegas and
Reno showrooms, he returned to Mexico, where he now lives, and retired
in the '80s.

He also arranged and wrote for television and film and his work has been
featured in more than 400 TV episodes.

Harpo whistled in all of their movies, I think. It was one of his speech
substitutes. Can't recall "musical" whistling for sure (offhand) but I wouldn't
be surprised.

The real one is the rarest soundtrack record of 'em all. Only a few copies
are known to exist, as they were destroyed by RCA due to a lawsuit by
author Herman Wouk. A real mint copy would fetch between $2-5K.

A bootleg exists, obviously.......I've seen them from time to time,
although they're pretty rare, too. I saw one at Footlights in NYC for $100
or so a few years back.

Subject: (exotica) Harpo, teevee

It took me a while to find the right issue of Filmfax (#55), but they had an
article on Harpo's "solo" career which includes mention of his albums.
According to this, there were three:

"Harp by Harpo" (RCA-Victor, 1951)
"Harpo in Hi Fi" (Mercury, 1957)
"Harpo at Work" (Mercury, 1958)

There's also a brief interview with his composer/arranger son, Bill Marx, who
did the arrangements on the Mercury albums. Among his anecdotes, he says that
Harpo, being more of a "feel" musician than a well-drilled technician, did
sometimes get offbeat from the studio musicians. Also, Harpo was a big fan of
the impressionists -- Ravel, Debussy -- and Gershwin. Bill Marx's credits
include music for "Who's That Girl?", "Murphy's Romance", "No Deposit - No
Return", "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island".

Unfortunately, nothing pertaining to who might have done the whistling. But if
anyone on here actually knows Bill Marx (hey, you never know on this list!), he
would certainly know.

Oh yeah, Tuesday night (Feb. 3) at 10:00 pm (eastern standard time), AMC airs a
new (they say) documentary on the Marx Brothers, followed at 11:30 by "Love
Happy" (1949) -- not one of their best, but as always, Harpo gets his harp
segment. And Marilyn Monroe gets an early walk-on part.

And as long as I'm on the TV listing jag, also of particular list interest this
week are...

"The Loved One" (1965) - TCM / Feb. 4 - 11:30 pm. I'll say that Liberace (as an
undertaker) is the list connection, but really it's just a killer, killer,
droll satire that should be a good fit for the sensibility of most people on
here.

"THX 1138" (1971) - Bravo / Feb. 5 - 11:00 am / Feb. 8 - 10:05 pm / Feb. 9 -
3:00 am, 1:00 pm. Futuristic score by Lalo Schifrin!

Yeah, good question!! Isn't there a story in the Incredibly Strange Music
V.II book about how only one copy was known to exist and when a second
showed up it sold for $6100.

Has this LP been pirated, or was that ISM story bogus??

Subject: (exotica) Lido Exotica, etc.

I've been meaning to share this with everyone for weeks--after Christmas, on
a record trip to Maryland I found the most amazing long exotica track on a
obscure label "soundtrack" of the Lido de Paris revue. For once, my reckless
buying habits paid off! ^_- The track's called "Tropical Fantasy," which
sounds pretty generic, but it's five minutes long, and full of bongos, bird
calls, and this amazing woman groaning, moaning, and acting like Yma Sumac.
What a great find! And only 25 cents!

At the local Salvation army I found yet another reissue of Milt Raskin's
KAPU. This one looks like it's from the mid to late 60s, judging from the
Hawaiian lady with Shindig-style liquid eyeliner on the cover. It's called
"Exotic Sounds of Hawaii."

Last but not least, just in case everyone thinks my life is an endless
parade of bargain bin finds....my holiday record splurge:

16 bucks for "Go Go GO World!" (mondo soundtrack)
15 bucks for "Billion Dollar Brain" (original pressing, still sealed!!!) ^_-

I'm starting to get enough cast-off records to open my own thrift shop.
(constantly upgrading, you know) Would anyone on the list be interesting in
trading some of their downgrades? I don't have any holy grail pieces, but I
have some not to be kicked out of bed--or off the turntable stuff. Any takers?

I hope I didn't just violate the list charter. :(

Thanks for the space, Jessica ^_^

I guess there's no problem, providing Jessica's thrift shop operates on
behalf of a relevant charity, e.g. one that sends landlocked exoticans
on recuperative holidays in Hawaii, or perhaps trains up novice cocktail
waiters/tresses to send to parts of the world where they are urgently
needed (Salt Lake City?).  Further suggestions welcomed...

If you want a treat, listen to the "Fantasy Island" theme song and then
listen to the main title to "Beneath the 12-Mile Reef" by Bernard Herrmann.

The horror, the horror  . . . from the new Billboard

Catherine Applefeld Olson, "Soundtracks and Film Score News,"
Billboard January 31, 1998, pg. 22.

    Whether or not the characters on "Melrose Place" have matured
through the years may be a matter of debate, but the show's producers
believe that their musical taste and that of their fans certainly has.
That's
the reason the Upstairs Club has replaced less sophisticated pool hall
Shooters as the hangout of choice for the drama denizens on the program.
On Tuesdaay, Windham Hill Jazz will bring the smoother side of "Melrose
Place" to the masses with the release of "Melrose Place Jazz."

    Aside from being the label's first TV-oriented soundtrack, the
album serves as a coming-out party for several new Windham Hill
jazz acts, including Todd Cochran, Ricky Peterson, AC crooner Jim
Brickman, identical-twin bass-and-sax duo the Braxton Brothers, and
Tom Scott, who contributes the "Melrose Place" theme plus two additional
tracks.

    "Melrose Place Jazz" also features label standards Tuck & Patti,
the Tippingtons, Etta James, and Earl Klugh and a sprinkling of non-Windham
Hill artists such as Lisa Fisher and Don Grusin.  "The characters in the show
are getting a little older, and their tastes have changed," says Wendy
Shanks,
marketing manager for Windham Hill Jazz.  "They have moved into the more
adult-type music, which is contemporary jazz."

Melrose Place music.

Hey gang,  and as I was channel surfing the other night, I think that Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy was featured on Melrose Place or Beverly Hills 90210.  I'm not
sure which one.  Not sure that I can identify which program.

Now, you really didn't think that I was going to admit to watching one of
these shows -- did you??!!??

Exploring cheap vinyl is fun and *sometimes* rewarding.

Today:
1. All Star Surprise Party  Kapp KS-3282.   The record was in top condition
so I thought I might as well try it.  Most of the names I knew I wouldn't
like, but as it turned out I found one neat cut:  Pagliacci performed by
the Fortune Tellers.  It was arranged by someone named Maxwell.  Anybody
know anything more about this group or who Maxwell might be (I have my
suspicions)?

2. Acapulco 1922 and The Lonely Bull  Al Caiola & Ralph Marterie  UA S 6256
  Not one of my favorite Caiola records.  Mr. Smooth won't play it on his
show, that's for sure.

3. The Big Sound, Salute to the Bandleaders, Vol. 2  Eddie Maynard
Spinorama S-86  Credible performances recorded decently, but nothing
spectacular enough to turn away from the original performances Eddie is
trying to duplicate.

Actually, I got a bunch of other albums but either the genre doesn't rate
discussion (like the Soundtrack to Ice Station Zebra) or the performance is
not likely to be worth talking about.

Oh, here's one I bought last month that I don't think I have mentioned:

4. Latin Favorites Dick Kesner  Vocalion VL 73777.  This is surprisingly
good!  I was afraid Dick would have such a major role in each selection
that I wouldn't get to hear percussion or more interesting arrangments, but
I was wrong.  The solo violin accents rather than dominates and there are
some neat versions of standards such as Brazil or (my favorite) Ay, Ay, Ay.

yup.

Fortune Tellers = Robert Maxwell

Look for the LP "Song of the Nairobi Trio" (Kapp, 7534) featuring
"Pagliacci Cha Cha Cha" (i'm assuming it's the same) and the Kovacs theme
"Song of the Nairobi Trio" plus others.  very cool.
