Anyone know if the ST or theme from one of the sequels, GOODBYE EMANUELLE,
has ever been released? Great, cheesy song!

Subject: Subject: (exotica) The Single Eye Playlist for March 1/98 with comments
The Single Eye can be heard every Sunday at 4pm on CKUT 90.3 fm in Montreal,
Canada
This week's show was guest -hosted by Cheryl and Brian. It featured music by
some well-known, not-so-well-known, and some best left unknown artists,
playing exotica from around the world!
Bobby Setter's Cash & Carry: Tchip Tchip "Dancing at the Moog-o-Theque"
+ the "bird dance" (yes, that bird dance) performed by the resident band of
the Hilton Hotels.
What more do we need to say?
Heino: Die blauen Dragoner "...und sensucht uns begleitet"
+ this one pre-dates the sunglasses and slick hairdo, although it's not
necessarily an
improvement... musically!
Peter Ehhlebracht & Karl Dall: Der mude Cowboy "Quartett im Bett"
+ cowboy music from a German porno film... at least that's what the cover
implies!
Pascal Comelade: Bal de moros i christians "Un Tal Jazz"
+ even Pascal Comelade can do schlager-style exotica! Scary...
The Three Suns: Danny's Inferno "Cocktail Mix Vol. 1: Bachelor's Guide To The
Galaxy"
+ another masterful compilation, as only Irwin Chusid can put together!
Hawaiian Brass: Quiet Village "Exotic Trilogy Vol. 2"
Orizabah: Tabu "Exotic Trilogy Vol. 2"
+ just two of the many offbeat variations of Quiet Village, Tabu and Caravan
contained on this
compilation. Vol. 1 is just as good!
Robert Maxwell, His Harp & His Orchestra: Accidental Slip On An Oriental Rug
"Cocktail Mix
Vol. 1: Bachelor's Guide To The Galaxy"
+ reminded us of Combustible Edison, so...
Combustible Edison: Breakfast At Denny's "I, Swinger"
+ a modern classic
Peter Lauch und die Regenpfeifer: In Honolulu "Lauter Lose Lieder"
+ where's the suntan lotion?
Harry Breuer & His Quintet: La Rosita "Mallet Magic"
+ continuing on our exotic journey around the world...
Screamin' Jay Hawkins: I Love Paris "Frenzy"
+ truly an original version!
Peter Lauch und die Regenpfeifer: Ohne Hemden, ohne Hosen "Lauter Lose
Lieder"
+ no shirt, no pants, no comment
Korla Pandit: Harbour Lights "Hypnotique"
+ there's only one Korla Pandit...
Jonathan Richman: "South American Folk Song "Rock & Roll With The Modern
Lovers"
+ and now for something completely different...
The Secret Dub Life Of The Flying Lizards: Lime And Salt "The Secret Dub Life
Of The Flying
Lizards"
+ 70's dub meets ambient
Brian Eno: Juju Space Jazz "Nerve Net"
+ thankfully not of the ambient strain.
Jean_Jacques Perrey: Flight Of The Bumblebee "Moog Indigo"
+ always a fun song, and different from the Perrey and Kingsley version.
Harry Breuer & His Quintet: Tulip Polka "Mallet Magic"
+ more fine percussion from Mr. Breuer
Thanks for reading. Any comments?

Subject: [exotica] Brother Dave Gardner
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Anybody out there stumble onto Brother Dave Gardner yet?
He was a comedian/song and dance man in the 60's whose Southern drawl
belied a fierce wit and a crystal-clear understanding of human nature.
His take on the world was remarkably progressive and probably earned him
more than a few enemies in the charged atmosphere of that particular
place and time. His language is a combination of rural rube and city
slick all rolled into one mess. Imagine Jim Varney (Ernest goes to...)
Billy Graham and Lenny Bruce sharing the same body.
Unlike a lot of humor in the 60's, it still works, though a lot of the
imagery he conjures is deeply rooted in the time. Brother Dave did a
stint as fill-in host when Jack Paar walked off the "Tonight" show.
I found one of his records at a Salvation Army store, and could tell by
looking Picture of brother Dave on the cover looking ever-so smug (Kick
Thy Own Self, RCA, 1960 or so) that I was in for a treat. I have since
bought several others. I think the guy is frigging Geeeneeeeuuusss!
Rumor has it that he died penniless in the early eighties.
=======================================================
Wow! i just looked up Brother Dave in the All-Music Guide, and I guess I
share some psychic connection to the person who did the write up.
Here's an excerpt:
> Next to Homer and Jethro, the most successful Southern-derived comedian was undoubtedly Brother Dave Gardner. In the late
> 1950s and into the middle 1960s, Brother Dave's albums found themselves esconsed in record collections in far more urbane
> and Northerly locales than one would suspect and his style was instantly influential and widely imitated. Variously described
> as a "Southern Lenny Bruce" or "Billy Graham with a sense of humor," Gardner's best routines still sound fresh and original
> today, a testament to his off-kilter genius. There was much, much more to this small statured stand up comic than your average
> hillbilly plowboy set of wheezy jokes; Brother Dave may just very well have been the true innovative genius of classy
> Southern humor.
>
> After recording a handful of semi-successful singles as a drummer/vocalist in and around his native Memphis (he had the
> original hit of "White Silver Sands"), Gardner found his true calling when Chet Atkins discovered him in Nashville doing
> comedy routines between drum solos. His on stage character (and by most accounts, off stage as well) was one part hipster,
> one part Sunday-morning preacher, peppered with off-the-wall observations about history and life, all of it barely concealing a
> personality that was as convention shattering as the times would barely allow. His debut album on RCA (Rejoice, Dear
> Hearts!) was released at the height of the comedy-album craze in 1960 and his followup, Kick Thy Own Self, was even more
> successful.

Oh yes! This is very, very wonderful and highly recommended. Melon was
originally
a (not very interesting) Japanese punk/new wave band, with Watermelon as
an exotica side project. Yan Tomita, who wrote the sleeve notes for the
compilations you mention, also played steel drums in Watermelon and
apparently had a HUGE collection of exotica records (this was 15 years
ago already).
On "Cool Music", they perform tongue-in-cheekish versions of "Quiet
Village"
and other exotica favourites, as weel as some original songs in the same
spirit. There was also a live album called "Snakeman Show Presents the
Watermelon Group Live at the Pithecantropus Erectus" (P.E. was a club in
Tokyo in the early 80's) with some other songs (songs, yes -- there are
vocals on most tracks) interleaved with strange jokes mostly in
Japanese.
(Hilarious, actually, if you speak the language.)
Once again, this is great stuff. None of the more recent neo-exotica
stuff
I've heard is even in the same league.

My hippy friend wants to know if the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was released
as a soundtrack album on its own. He claims every CD by this composer (who?)
has got this material but in compilation with other material. He wants a
soundtrack only. Do any of you know if this was released as a soundtrack by
itself and if it will be easy to find? He also wants to find the soundtrack
for a movie called "Under Fire". He claims he's been looking for year for
that one, but has not been successful. Thanks in advance to anyone that can
answer these questions.

Since you post these playlists so frequently, I feel it's my duty to inform
you that this columnized version of your playlist may look really nice on
YOUR computer screen, but it comes out a thoroughly unreadable jumble on
mine (and I doubt I'm alone).
I suggest a different, less fancy format.

To keep to a universally readable standard, you need to keep the line
length down to about 72 characters, and jettison any use of tabs
(that's what's screwing these up). I would LIKE to read these lists,
but it's impossible to decipher what's what.
Cheers,
Pete.

Any search for info about soundtracks and their composers should start at
the Film Score Monthly site:
<http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/>
Scroll down to the search box labeled "Does it exist?" and plug in the last
name of the composer.
Here's your answer:

Subject: (exotica) Yes! It's worth a dollar......
I've been going through all of my albums and writing down the tracks that
are "worthy" for inclusion in compilation tapes. Since a lot of these
albums appear generic but contain a few great tracks, I thought I'd start
posting the albums so you don't inadvertantly pass something by in the $1
bins.......
Fire and Romance of South America (101 Strings) - Yellow cover with
color drawing of cosmopilitan nite-lifers whooping it up in a congo line
against the night sky and row of skyscrapers.
Three tracks pull this LP outta the standard "101 Strings treatment." But
when their "lush sound" works - it works!
- - Desifinado
- - Inca Theme
- - Encanto del Caribe
Of course, we all know Desifinado.....
Both "Inca" and "Encanto" include great "female voice" accompaniment,
two haunting scores that would sound right at home on any "exotica" LP
release.
Don't pass it up!
Sorry, describing music in words isn't my forte' but there's a strong
emphasis on the rhythm section and bassoon.
BTW- What do ya call that wooden scratchy thing with grooves in it that
you run a wooden rod across?

Hello,
Someone on the list told me that on their screen, my playlists come out all
screwed up.
How do they look on YOUR screen ?
I certainly don't want them to be "unreadable" as that is not the point.
I am not doing anything "fancy" to them as that is the exact way they are
on the KFJC DJ Playlists page.
http://www.spies.com/misc/kfjc/md/pl/
I just simply "save" them in text form and then cut and paste them into my
Eudora mail program and send them off.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated:-)
Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but I think it is called a Guaracha in

Thanks, I always wonder about those 101 strings albums.
I just have not been able to bring myself to buy one,
yet, because I can remember that my grandparents had them.
One "one hit wonder" album that comes to my mind is
a comp called _Music to Scare Hell (sic) Out of
Your Neighbors_. I bought this one for the cover,
which is a cartoon of a skeleton hanging from a gallows,
and "Crime Jazz"-type graphics and lettering. This
has an odd assortment of stuff, including a symphonic
interpretation of "Adolf Hitler" which I can't bring
myself to listen to. Anyway, I never fail to
use this when making mix tapes, because it has
"Fire Goddess" by the Surfmen on it! It's a great
crescendo exotica piece, complete with femme oo-ooo vox on it.
I've never seen this one anywhere else, but I'll bet
someone else here has this album. I managed to score
this one before the "Incredibly Strange.." craze,
for a mere $6. Worth it for the cover alone!

Glad to "enlighten" you.
Actually, I've seen that "Music to Scare Hell...." album, but unfortunately
some brat got hold of it and colored all over the cool skeletons. Actually,
that cover reminds me exactly of an old Aurora model kit box illustration -
hell, the skeletons might actually be an Aurora model kit.
I've got that Surfmen album, it's called "Exotic Island" and has a great
cover of an exotic flower with a nekkid native girl emerging from its
"trumpet." It's on a familiar "budget" label but I can't recall the name right
off.
Great album! Love that female voice ooo-oooo stuff :-) !!!

I think you're thinking of
_Astro Sounds from Beyond 2000_. Is
that the Living Strings, though?
This one would be pretty tuff to find in
the cheapie bins, so I would get the CD.
It's pretty good, if you like psychploitation,
which I do. There's one track, though, which
is a total ripoff of "Gimme Some Lovin", and it
is damn annoying. A few tracks on this, BTW,
were also included on the Arf Arf anthology
_Everything You Need to Know about ..._,
which I would recommend. Arf Arf has been
accumulating quite a bit of psychploitation,
judging from their compilation output.
I don't know if anyone has seen that _Easy Listener_ magazine,
but they came up with the genre of "acid easy". Two of
my favorite genres combined in one! This would include
the above album, along with any easy listening record
that has *sitar* on it. Yessss....

Subject: (exotica) Danny and Dena G
One of my favorite recent finds is Danny Guglielmi's Adventures In
sound, with vocals by Dena. As I mentioned to someone, if I had to
describe the sound of this record to someone I could only describe it as
Les Paul and Mary Ford produced by David Lynch. Perhaps as a result of
her reputed pipe-smoking, Dena's voice is pleasantly ethereal and
together with husband Danny's Les Paulish "multitaping" techniques, this
is a very curious lp (I love "I'll Remember April" in which Dena's voice
fades out in haunting oohs and ahs). Can any recommend other lps by
these two? Has anything made it to cd?

Subject: (exotica) Flea Markets, Yard Sales, Hurrah hurrah!
Yes, folks, as somebody mentioned - 'tis quick approaching the time
when weekends will be spent sprinting to strangers' front yard to pick
through records and knick-knacks.....
Here's a helpful hint: When drawing up your itinerary (looking through the
paper for yard sale ads), put a piece of clear tape over the ad you want
and then lift it off. Then, transfer that tape to a sheet of paper and viola!
you've got a list of all the places since the ink will lift off onto the tape.
Thanks Heloise.....
