I caught the Residents' live show at the Fillmore last New Years Eve.  Very
scaled down from the last time I saw them (The Mole Show in mid-80s).  In
fact, it was a little on the dull side.

According to a friend who works at the Fillmo', they'll be back next New
Years and might make it a regular thing.

A friend of mine has the one with a green string instrument, half a womens

yes it is groovy with at least 2 sitar tracks to boot.  Sorry, I don't know
more.
Does anyone have this lp?

It's called "Groovin' With The Soulful Strings".  I just sold that LP and
"Paint it Black" too.
They have a few records.  It's on the very groovy Cadet label from the mid
60's
which did somewhat go go now sounds funky pop jazz
They were a studio outfit that changed personnel.  Some had the great Phil
Upchurch on Fender Bass and Guitar but never listed the Sitarist.  Hmmmmmmmmm

Kenny Burrell's "Have Yourself a Soulful Christmas" is on Cadet, Odell
Brown and his Organ-Izers are on Cadet but that outfit is more jazz than
Now Go Go Sounds and most likely much to sophisticated for this crowd
though their "Mellow Yellow" LP is pretty groovy

i have this, Jack.  Criswell goes on and on predicting and commenting on such
topics as:

fashion and body painting
a "push-button" society (he got dat right)
riot, rape and destruction
flying saucers and insects
LSD and pot
population explosion
TV, education and firearms
leprosy
nudity and artificial food

pure spoken word with no music.  you can add your own.  i like it because i
like this kind of oddity.  but you should also know that there are NO liner
notes and the entire CD is just ONE 42 minute track.   the only way i could
identify what was what, was by listening all the way thru and marking the
digital read out where my favorites started and stopped.  he always begins by
saying "I predict!..."

kind of a pain, but after you do it once, it's done.  good filler for slippin'
onto a tape.

Now, does anyone have this "audio-erotica" CD called "Cyborgasm"?
KFJC would love it but there might be laws against such things.

Subject: (exotica) Re: eyeball buddies

Yep, me too. I own 12 Residents albums myself, though I think the band's
really stuck in an artistic cul de sac in recent years. (Dump that grating
Gomer Pyle speaksing, and get back to the old "nightmare nursery rhyme"
group-vocal sound. And find a new guitarist to borrow, or at least upgrade
those sterile faux-string synthesizers!) Yeah, Eskimo just might be my
favorite of their records -- so evocative and visual, compared to most of
their other releases. But I like Third Reich 'N' Roll, Duck Stab,
Fingerprince and Not Available an awful lot also. Haven't heard anything
since The King & Eye which I liked enough to buy.

Cyborgasm, and its sequel "Cyborgasm 2 - the Edge of the Bed" are both
definitely adult-only erotic CDs.  The tracks are different audio sexual
fantasies where you are "immersed" into different scenarios. They were
released in 1993 and 1994.

They were both recorded in a special 3-D format and are meant to be
listened to while wearing headphones.... its a fairly realistic
technique MUCH more realistic than standard stereo sound.  For example
one fantasy features a female dominatrix who slowly circles you as the
sounds come from various directions ..... whips whistling and cracking,
scissors clicking near your ears, matches being lit from all directions

  I also remember about 8 years ago buying a Stephen King horror
audiotape (the Mist?)recorded in the same format whose highlight was the
sound of someone vomiting, and a split second later, the sound of the
vomit hitting the floor at your feet.

PS - If only C Edison was in existence then!! BTW, I just finished watching a
1996 Munsters movie (I had no idea it existed) called "Here Come The Munsters".
A lot of the music in the film was faithful to the original TV show but I
couldn't find any music credits at the end of the film - that would have been a
good gig for The Tiki Tones or Combustible Edison!

Subject: (exotica) Stuff

Not shilling for the big guys, just  relaying some recent releases from the
March Collector's Choice catalog - worth buying something just to get the
print catalog because this stuff doesnt always jump out at you from the racks.
I ordered a few CD's  2 years ago via the 1-800 # and am still on the mailing
list - you'll pay retail prices, but the monthly catalog is usually a treat.
website is at www.ccmusic.com

Pete Rugolo - twofer of "Introducing Pete Rugolo/Adventures in Rhythm $16
(why doesnt Time release the "Thriller" CD after those Cafe Whatever cheapos?)

The Caterina Valente Collection-The Breeze and I  - the Cat sure can belt a
tune, and looks HOT in a jungle cat print outfit on the cover.  $12  (already
got this at Virgin)

One Step Beyond - TV Soundtrack - One UNBELIEVABLY GREAT song (Fear), one
almost great song (Weird). The rest is travelogue music, but I've paid $15 for
a mono copy with a scratch cuz i had this record as a kid.   $15

Chico Hamilton - The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings (a Mosaic release)
I'm not interested in spending the $100 for these 6 CD's but i'd sure like to
find his score for the Polanski/Deneuve film "Repulsion."

Finally, a $60 4 CD set by the Trashmen ! Do some people have too much money?
Maybe if they threw in the "Surfin Bird" video clip from Pink Flamingos and
you know what i mean.

Lots of other stuff such as Cugie, Lecuona, Kathy Young & the Innocents,
Gordon Jenkins, Julie London, Music From Mike Hammer, Osibisa 2 Cd set, Play
Guitar with the Ventures, etc etc etc.

JB Twist, still buyin records too!!!!!

Subject: (exotica) a residents question

Clearly a lot of people here are Residents fans. Perhaps that's not a
coincidence and   maybe that, in itself, qualifies it as a legitimate
obsession of the list. But maybe one of you could explain the "musical
qualities" that make you see this band as somehow related to exotica.  I've
heard them but not that much.  They're definitely "novel". Is that the
connection?
Occasionally people here bring up something and wonder if it's
list-appropriate.  Maybe one of you old-timers could tell a relative
newcomer like me if that term means anything here.  I mean, I think Captain
Beefheart is/was a true musical genius and maybe I could make a connection
to exotica but...

While you're on the subject of those cyborgasm CD's, maybe someone could
come up with a list of the "precursors" for this kind of thing.
I mean, I have a couple of Xaviera Hollander records, although one of them
is just this soundtrack by my countryman Tom Cochrane and not very sexy.  I
have the cast album from "Let my people come".  And then there's "music to
massage your mate" but the instructional booklet is a lot sexier than the
music.
Then there's Charo singing "Let's spend the night together".  And Amanda
Lear.  And I guess I'd have to throw in Claudine Longet.
Anybody?

Nat,

Well, seein's that you're on my mailing list, I'm sure you saw that rekkid
I just had for sale that some very smart person snatched up, no pun
intended, by Mort Garson called "Music For Sensuous Loves by Z" that is pop
instro bubbly electronic music under a very real woman having sex and
*many* very real orgasms.  We hear a guy talking every once in a while.

Wet slurping sounds included, giggling, loooooooooooong wondrous sexy moaning
and panting yada yada yada and on and on and on.

Side 1 is "Climax 1" and Side 2 is "Climax 2"

Damn great

Then the 101 Strings put out a record on their "Adult Contemporary Series"
called "The Sounds of Love" with Pop Instrumentals and the very real
ooooohing and ahhhhhing so sexily by Bebe Bardon, seriously heavy sighing
going on that 1
That came out in 1970, the Mort Garson around the same time.

Bebe is also pictured on the front cover in a mini skirt, great legs by the
way and that skirt is just a half inch away from.....

This time period of out pop culture was of course approaching the disco era
where SEX was the primary force and hell, the "Summer of Love" was only 3
years previous to that

On the Scamp (EMI) Label, the CD that was released of 101 Strings: Astro
Sounds
From Beyond The Year 2000(damn, we're almost there), they included a few
extra tracks that has the 101 Strings Orchestra and their pseudo-psych
sound and a title of "Whiplash" and a young nubile sexy sounding lady doing
the short "Oooh", "Ahhh" and a "whiplash" sound.

Those 3 stick out, no pun intended, in my mind.  There are more.

I have an "exercise" record in which June Wilkynson(sp?)does the spoken word
instruction over cool cheesy "cocktail jazz" and that's a riot and kinda
"sexy"
and I'm with you on the "booklet action" there on that 1 Nat

The front cover is kinda "sexy weird" BUT actually the back cover has 4
color photos of June but it looks like they just put her head/face, same
exact look of 4 different bodies.
You know "that look" ?  Tooooooooooo weird.

It's too funny, but the spoken word exercise parts by June are a "sexy" scream

Anyone else out there tell us, me and Nat, about some more of these that
may have been the precursor those those cyborgasm CD's ?

I'm not that much of an old-timer, but...

My personal feeling is that it's very healthy to stretch the lines here and
there (without being obnoxious about it). And as it happens, this is something
we regularly do. Things would get awfully boring in a hurry if we limited it to
a strict canon. When I bring up something that's on or over the edge, I do try
to make an effort to relate it back to the center -- and I won't try to insist
that it is part of the canon.

Like, I brought up the ECM label because I happened to dig out an old Colin
Walcott album
("Cloud Dance") the other night. He plays sitar -- a well-liked instrument
around here -- but he's not pop sitar, or fully strict Indian sitar. Since a
lot of the music discussed here is similarly 'floating between worlds', I
thought it might be relevant to some extent. Maybe, maybe not. But it was a
fresh token to put into play, anyway.

These are just my feelings on it. Thanks for the space, to quote someone.

Subject: (exotica) The Wild Sounds of New Music

I found a white label, 45 sized record (although it plays at 33 1/3) today called
"The Wild Sounds of New Music" on Columbia Masterworks, which is
labelled "Bonus Record."  It includes excerpts from Terry Riley: A
Rainbow in Curved Air, Lasry-Baschet: Chronophagie, Harry Partch:
Castor & Pollux, Luciano Berio:  Sinfonia, Section III, Steve Reich:
Violin Phase and Conlon Nancarrow:  Study #7.

Anyone know about this record?  I'm curious what it was a "bonus"
with, etc.

I hold UWEB (That's "Uncle Willie's Eyeball Buddies" for the otherwise
unaquainted) badge no. 1613.  I joined the club a bit late but I can
count as a charter member of Smelly Tongues! I think one could
arguably include the early Residents as Exotica only as much as Der
Plan or Ptose would qualify, seeing as all of these groups
seemed too have shared the same sense of humour.  But then what is
everyday normal to some may appear exotic to others. Hmmm... Exotica
as a state of mind... Sounds mighty good about now as the snow
continues to fall, and fall, and fall!

But, I really think there was a certain naivete about the 50's and
60's that seems to have been lost in the 70's & 80's and I have
trouble relating the old with the more recent exotica "inspired".
However, since I pride myself on collecting music that is otherwise
unclassifiable, I think I'll stop here before I set my own trap for
myself.

I guess it follows "Fred Vom Jupiter", one of my all-time favourites
Is it true that Die Marinas were only 12 at the time and Andreas
himself not much older?  Now I really have to get those two Motor
CD's!

I think it's an unwritten law that musicians are never appreciated
at home until someone elsewhere discovers them.  I can relate to
the french language issue, living as I do in Quebec.  Ironically, I
think German would qualify as "ethnic" here and therefore be OK...
As long as it isn't that dreaded English!

Me too but it's a telling sign of my age!

Let's not forget Donna Summer's 17 minute epoch "Love To Love You Baby" and
the stuff on "Schulmadchen Report" (perhaps the volkswagen and shower scenes
to which they refer) and Claudia Vita's moans on "Mood Mosaic-The
Sexploitation"

Subject: (exotica) The Single Eye playlist for March 22, 1998 (with comments)

The Single Eye can be heard Sundays at 4pm on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal,
Quebec, Canada

Ennio Morricone: Peur sur la Ville "Les Plus Belles Musiques d'Ennio
Morricone Vol 1"

Syrinx: Aurora Spinray "Long Lost Relatives"
+ released in 1971. Sort of like Gershon Kingsley meets Tuxedomoon and
might appeal to fans of "Air" Funny how this band hasn't been
"rediscovered" yet, but the advantage of this is that you can still find
their records cheap.

Air: Remember "Moon Safari"
+ this track is co-written by the great Jean-Jacques Perrey.

Laika: Martinis on the Moon "Sounds of the Satellites"
+ from this duo's last full-length release.

Isaac Hayes: Theme from Shaft "Badmutha's: 18 Original Black Movie Hits"
+ We now know that Special Agent Fox Mulder can quote the lyrics to this
tune. This cd (released by MCI Music) is turning out to be one of my
favourite recent purchases.

Orchester Erwin Halletz: John-Kling-Twist "Kriminal Magazin"
+ German Crime/Spy instro lp.

The James Taylor Quartet: In the Park "The Money Spyder"
+ soundtrack for the imaginary spy movie.

Bruno Nicolai: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang "Beat at Cinecitta Vol 2"
+ Asks the musical question: "Vats de matter, wit you now?"

Mario Vinciguerro/Gerardo Iacoucci: Supermercato "Scoctopus: The In Sound
from Octopus Records"
+ from the double vinyl set of cool crime jazz instros.

Funki Porcini vs Jerry Van Rooyen: Great Train Robbery " Funki Porcini vs
Jerry Van Rooyen 12" "
+ on this Mr. Porcini remixes a couple of tracks from the "At 250 miles per
hour" release.

Guido & Mauricio de Angelis: Gangster Story "Easy Tempo Vol 1"
+ I think the track title tells all.

Amon Tobin: Hot Pursuit "Pirahna Breaks ep"
+ hyperfast bongos! Another outstanding Ninja Tune release.

Gert Wilden: Title Theme "Schulmadchen Report"
+ Psychsploitation!

Carrie Nations: Look on Up at the Bottom "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
soundtrack"
+ It's important to keep a positive attitude. This cd also contains the
"Groupie Girl" soundtrack.

Fille Qui Mousse: Part 6 "Trixie Stapleton 291"
+ impossibly obscure band from France. Weirdsville.

Sukia: Vaseline & Sand "Contacto Especial con el Tercer Sexo"
+ electro-sleaze.

Dr Gunni: Storu Strakarnir "Abbababb!"
+ punk for pre-teens.

Comments or questions welcome.
Allan.

...and the drums are sampled directly off the beginning of the Beach Boys'
"Do It Again"!

Subject: (exotica) tv movie (not so) brief

Upcoming movies of list interest (All times eastern standard. Times/dates split
at Midnight. Meaning: if the time is 11:59 pm, March 1 -- one minute later will
be Midnight, March 2). Quite a catch this trip...

"Forbidden Planet" (1956) TCM / March 23 - 2:00 pm. Groundbreaking electronic
score by Louis & Bebe Barron.

"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) TCM / March 23 - 10:00 pm / March 28 - 5:30 pm.
No explanation necessary? Supposed to air in wide-screen letterbox format.

"The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie" (1972) Bravo / March 24 - 4:15 am, 5:30
pm. Surreal slapstick from Dali's old cinema collaborator.

"La Strada" (1954) TCM / March 27 - 8:00 pm. Bravo / March 30 - 5:00 pm, 10:30
pm / March 31 - 4:00 am. Fellini. 'Nuff said.

"Black Orpheus" (1959) TCM / March 27 - 10:00 pm. Yes! A totally magical movie
that has been discussed on the list several times over the years. The Orpheus
legend reset in Rio during Carnaval. Terrific music by Antonio Carlos Jobim and
Vinicius de Moraes (lyrics).

"Amarcord" (1974) TCM / March 28 - Midnight. Bravo / March 30 - 2:30 pm, 8:00
pm / March 31 - 1:30 am. Fellini. See above.

"Beat The Devil" (1954) A&E / March 29 - 7:00 am / March 30 - 4:00 am. Droll
John Huston comedy with Bogart, Peter Lorre, Robert Morley, Jennifer Jones and
Gina Lollobrigida. Scripted by Huston & Truman Capote.

"Laura" (1944) AMC / March 29 - 2:30 pm. Easy list in-joke. Also, Vincent
Price.

"Blow Up" (1967) TCM / March 29 - 6:00 pm. Swingin' 60's London.

"Spellbound" (1945) AMC / March 29 - 11:35 pm. Hitchcock, Dr. Hoffman's
theremin and Dali dream designs.

"The Colossus Of New York" (1958) AMC / March 30 - 1:15 pm. Odd little robot
monster movie, with odd little piano & celeste score by Van Cleave.

"What A Way To Go!" (1964) AMC / March 30 - 9:30 pm. Kind of clunky 'Big
Hollywood' musical comedy from the dying days of same. Includes a sequence with
totally over the top (and then some) design and costumes. With Shirley
MacLaine, Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, many more. To be honest, I
had to fast-forward through chunks, but then this sort of thing isn't generally
my cuppa tea. Give it a try if you're intrigued.

Plus, actress/filmmaker, Ida Lupino on A&E's Biography -- Tuesday night at 8:00
pm.
