Subject: (exotica) Marty Manning's Twilight Zone
Anyone ever hear of this electronic outer space masterpiece ?
Right up there at the top of the top with Moon Gas, if you like that sort
of thing.
Marty Manning wrote and arranged the most recognizable version of "The
Twilight Zone" that "most" of us have heard.
In 1960, released on Columbia an LP was released called "The Twilight Zone"
recorded in 3 different sessions;
November 7, 21 and 29th;
The "basic group" consisted of;
Marty Manning - Martenot and Ondioline
Melvin Tax-Woodwinds
Buddy Brennan-Piano
Danny Davis-Trumpet
Mundel Lowe-Electric Guitar
Bradley Spinney-Percussion
On November 7th, also present were;
Martin Grupp-Percussion
Lois Hunt-Etheral Vocal Effects
Anthony Rongo-Drums
Ed Arndt-Bass
On November 21st all of the above were present
PLUS Harry Breuer-Percussion as well as
Attilio J. Macero-Special Elctronic Effects
For yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears, us collectors out here in the San Francosco bay
area thought that the spelling for Mr. Macero was a TYPO and that in
reality it was
Attilio Mineo on Special Effects, but we have come to learn that it was indeed
not a typo:)
On November 29th the "basic group" was increased to include;
Phil Krause, George Shaw and Martin Grupp-Percussion
Jerry Murad-Harmonica Effects
Arnold Fromme-The Serpent
On November 7th, Titles; The Twilight Zone, The Moon is Low, The Lost
Weekend Theme were recorded.
On November 21st; The Unknown, Far Away Places, Spellbound Concerto,
Shangri-La
and You Stepped Out of A Dream were recorded.
On November 29th, Forbidden Planet, Night On Bald Mountain, Invitation and
The Sorcerer's Apprentice were recorded.
Great informative liner notes and a short but very cool bio of Rod Serling
is also featured.
This is not the music of "The Twilight Zone' BUT just as weird, great and
fucked up genius audibly as that TV show was visually.
FIND IT NOW!

i guess L.A. is one of the markets that will have programming occassionally
pre-empted for local sports (fishing last night, i hear). sorry you missed
it.
the call letters are mentioned rarely as there are a number of stations in
a number of cities simulcast.
"King Kini's Radio Velvet" can be heard coast-to-coast on Beat Radio
every Sunday Night at 10:50pm ET, 9:50pm CT, 7:50 PT

Subject: (exotica) Claude Denjean, etc.
I found an lp over the weekend on London's Phase Four label,
Moog!(1970), by Claude Denjean. Does anyone know anything about this
artist? Any other projects of note? I love the lp: Outstanding covers of
Venus and Lay Lady Lay. Amusing spacescape on the cover.
Other finds: Gershon Kingsley's First Moog Quartet; Hugo Montenegro:
Mammy Blue (What is that title all about, jeeziz... lp's alot of fun
though... spacy version of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. John Montenegro
manning the omnipresent ARP synthesizer. Speaking of which, what beyond
nomenclature distinguishes it from the Moog?); HM's Vibrations (with
Muzzy Marcellino in lieu of theremin);
Electronic Music (Turnabout label): features John Cage: Fontaine Mix,
Luciano Berio: Visage, Ilhan Mimaroglu: Agony.
Kenyon Hopkins: Contrasting Colors (have to tape a new comp. just to
include "Cool Village")
Walter Wanderly: Rain Forest
Joe Harnell: Bossa Now!
Enoch Light and the Brass Menagerie (only thing of interest here is the
cover: nubiles sparsely clad in barbarian-looking animal skins and
shackled in straw-lined cages. Douceurs!)

[7": "The Fool On The Hill"]
* The Portsmouth Sinfonia: "A (Slightly Faster) Day In The Life"

Subject: Re: (exotica) Hope I don't catch Bilitis
<< If it's anything like the
director's photos, it would be gauzy, sleepy sort of music.
>>
I have the german LP with a couple pretty songs, espec the theme (twice) and a
nice wordless vocal. There are a couple uptempo eurodisco-style instros,one
called surprisingly "I Need A Man."
Front and back cover photos are of women apparently of legal age, in contrast
to Hamilton's usual young subjects, who are continually reposted in certain
Usenet binary groups.
It ok if you are into that kind of thing, and i dont regret paying the $6 at
Amoeba. Now i guess i should listen to and review the OST's from 'L'Histoire
D'O", Klauz Schulze's "Body Music", "Emmanuelle" ,"The Chapman Report'
(surprisingly cool almost-crime jazz) and the outrageous 60's or 70's musical
"Let My People Come." Never see any of these discussed on the list
soooooo........
BTW, Fausto Pappetti sure knows how to pick album covers, if you get my
drift....

in 1973, he put out "Open Circuit" which includes:

Big Yellow Taxi

Kiss This
and others, all given the pop moog treatment. Good, but not as good as Moog.

i have not listened to Moods lately, but recall it being not-so-hot.

Subject: (exotica) Esquivel
I just got the RCA Cabaret Manana collection. I also got the Four Rooms
soundtrack, which is great, but some of the "themes" are so short! I long for
more. So, I have two questions.
One, how does Combustible Edison's output stack up, compared to the soundtrack.
More of the same? Cuz if it is, I need to purchase them right away.
Two, and I hesitate to say this on this list, I still don't click with Esquivel.
It's funny, the two songs they put on the Four Rooms soundtrack are definitely
two of the most exciting in the collection. Is there something I'm missing? Is
this a mediocre collection? Or is this all I can expect from him and just write
it off as not my thing, except for the occasional exception?
Anyone?

I keep hearing them mentioned, yet I know nothing about them.
Are they similar to Combustible Edison?
Sukia and Tipsy?
Where do they fall in the spectrum?
Thanks,
Peter

it's a he and he's jungle/drum'n'bass
breakbeat techno underpinned with reggae dub bass
think big phat dancefloor soundz crushing yer chest...
he is nothing like Tipsy or Sukia and only bears a passing resemblance to
the ultra rare unreleased Combustible Edison deep jung-ill session from
Dusseldorff (circa 1996).

Extremely soporific. Interesting punk-related note: it has liner notes
by Judy Vermorel who in 1978 (together with hubby Fred) wrote the
first book on the Sex Pistols.

Subject: (exotica) KPM Libraries
Bay Area types might be interested to know that Recycled Records has some
KPM Libraries production music albums for sale cheap. They look like
they're from the 80s so they might be kinda itchy. I didn't recognize the
composers. I picked up a couple of Capitol's Media Music LPs from the same
bin. Recycled must've bought a collection.

Subject: (exotica) i'm rich
So, I went over to Dustygroove last weekend.
I know, I blather about Dustygroove a lot.
Well, this was the first chance I had to check
out the location. Now, I'm sorry but I
have to slam them regarding their used vinyl.
They were selling mediocre old moog and lounge records for
like $20-$40. They must have had about six or seven records
in there that I'd gotten at a thrift store for less than
a buck. Oh, and I think the Claude Denjean was in there,
the one with "Big Yellow Taxi" and the cool lips on the
cover (did anyone notice the sexual allusion in that
cover? kind of hard to ignore). Anyway, I don't think
that record is very good, certainly not worth the fortune
they're charging. What else...some of the bad Les Baxter
albums, the ones with choruses. Lots of soundtracks that
are easily gotten elsewhere and aren't very good anyway.
I can understand someone wanting to plunk down a lot of
bucks for good Les Baxter, moog, or Esquivel, but as I happen
to own these records they had, I can testify that most of
them were momentarily amusing at best.
At one point I even laughed out loud, provoking stares.
That was when I came across a record that I'd just picked up
in a dollar bin at another record store only two or three weeks before.
They were asking $35 for it. I wish I could remember what title
it was, but it was that unmemorable.
Oh, but I did manage to pick up the "Coffy" soundtrack
reissue, and I recommend it for you blaxploitation
soundtrack fans. And only $8! The next day,
I went to Unique thrift store and got an Abbaesque-era
Heino, an Indian movie soundtrack 45 and a double-album
set of stethoscopic heart recordings. No doubt, they're
worth a fortune.

I think so, as an LP, but never on CD. I have a "best of Sammy" collection
that I think includes a couple cuts from the concert... "Come Back to Me"
and "Birth of the Blues"... are those on your CD? They are incredible
performances...but I can't remember the year.

So!
No one here has ever heard of The Twilight Zone LP by Marty Manning on
Columbia ? Electronic Outer Space Brilliance ?
You can't be serious.
So many of you want the same LP's, list after list after list after list.
Where you all get these "want lists" from, a book ?

Subject: (exotica) Betty Page CDs
Now that I'm enjoying the "Betty Page Jungle Girl" CD (mostly European
artist latin-type and crime jazz) I'm possibly interested in the earlier
"Betty Page Danger Girl" release, which was billed as "burlesque music."
Anyone out there heard both and want to say which you prefer?
Also, know a domestic source for Danger Girl?

Subject: (exotica) The most twisted thing I put on my turntable this month...
. . . .was definitely the David Rose Orchestra playing "(I Can't Get No)
Satisfaction" (!?!?)
This is from his MGM release _The Velvet Beat: Lush String
Interpretations of Today's Hits_.
Ay chihuahua, it doesn't get ANY more misguided than this! Though the liner
notes do run a close second, blathering on about Satisfaction's "basic
American Negro character." They go on to say, "David Rose hews to the blues
line in a version surely most acceptable to Mich Jagger and his
long-tressed cohorts." . . . Eh?
It goes straight downhill from there--though "Tambourine Man" does get an
ambitious treatment, i think attempting to turn it into a minuet or
something. Oh, and there's a weirdly Copland-esque version of "Downtown"!
Slight Letdown Department: Tak Shindo's _Accent on Bamboo_ (Capitol)
The Asiatic detours are fun as far as they go ("copious Koto plinking
throughout the album," per the liner notes), but at its core this is really
a big-band jazz album, which doesn't do a lot for me. I liked Shindo's
noir-ish original, "Portrait In Blue"; also "Stumbling," which features
goofy koto and gongs. So I guess this one is still a keeper.
Also this month: Something--maybe El Nino?--made me buy 3 CB radio
instructional records. . .
Negatory, good buddy,

Subject: (exotica) Atomic Age Pop
Hey, all--
Just acquired a stack of near-mint Vik LPs from the 50s at my local used record
emporium. One of them is Richard Maltby and his Orchestra, "With Strings Attached".
It's pretty standard mid-50s big band stuff, but there's a tune here called "Isotopes
and Isobars", part of something called "The Nuclear Suite". Anybody know anything about
"The Nuclear Suite"? Was the full suite ever recorded?
Just curious...
