For me, since I only own one Cugat (comp CD), I only know of the guy because
of all the 40's musicals he made - I think his movie image may have had way
more impact since way more people saw him in those old movies than ever bought
his records.

"The Single Eye" can be heard every Sunday at 4pm on CKUT 90.3 fm in
Montreal, Canada. As I will be moving from Quebec to Ontario this week,
this is the last show I will be hosting before turning the programme over
to fellow Exotica list members Cheryl & Brian. Comments & questions welcome
(er...before I unsub tomorrow & resub in about a week).
See you on the flipside...
Allan

Criswell: Plan 9 Intro & Theme "Mondo Movies Music"
+ released by Big Beat records. There are a few songs on this release, but
it features mostly spoken word trailers for such cinematic gems such as
"Night of the Ghouls", "Maniacs are Loose" & "Thrill Killers".

Dimitri from Paris: Prologue "Sacrebleu"
+ I don't think I've enjoyed a cd this much since Tipsy's "Trip Tease".

Nurse With Wound: Darkness Fish "Who can I turn to Stereo"
+ Musical surrealism.

DJ Vadim: Theme from Conquest of the Irrational "USSR Reconstruction"
+ remix by The Prunes.

The Creed Taylor Orchestra: The Secret "Shock Music in Hi-Fi"
+ this is a seriously twisted record.

Elliot Fisher: Dr. No's Fantasy "Bongoland"
+ one of the recent Ultra-Lounge releases.

Johnny Hawksworth: Jane Bond Theme "Betty Page: Jungle Girl"
+ this comp features production music in the jungle-jazz/mambo/crime
styles.

United Future Organization: Fool's Paradise "3rd Perspective"
+ "Secret Agent Swing from the Cosmic DJ Collective" sez the sticker. Very
good indeed.

The Hollywood Persuaders: Drums A-Go-Go "Las Vegas Grind Pt 1"

Dick Hyman: The Moog & Me "Moog: The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman"
+ cd reissue on the Varese Sarabande label.

Dimitri from Paris: Dirty Larry "Sacrebleu"

Thievery Corporation: Vivid "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi"
+ lots of smooth dub & the occassional latin-tinged instrumental. This
particular track features tablas, moog & harpsichord (I think).

Cornershop: My Dancing Days are Done "Woman's Gotta Have It"
+ from the groups 1995 release. This sitar & tabla track is far superior to
their recent "hit".

Tricky: Ponderosa "Maxinquay"
+ I just finished reading Phil Johnson's "Straight Outa Bristol - Massive
Attack, Portishead, Tricky & the Roots of Trip-Hop" (Sceptre paperback).
Has to be one of the best music-related books published lately.

Esquivel: Sentimental Journey "Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music"

Neu!: Neuschnee "Neu 2"
+ Krautrock classic. Imitated by many, surpassed by none.

Danielle Dax: Tomorrow Never Knows "Blast the Human Flower"
+ Whatever became of D. Dax?

Subject: (exotica) Perez Prado on video

Has anyone ever seen the Japanese video/laserdisc of Perez Prado titled
"Hora Azul"? I think there was some mention of it about six months ago,
but I can't find the post. Considering the price (over US$60), I
wondered if it featured actual footage of Prado or what.

BTW, does anyone have any videos of Prado in action? Or a copy of the
Jane Russell movie "Underwater" in which he supposedly makes an
appearance or know where there's a copy (in stock) that's for sale? It's
currently "out of print" from the publisher.

Also, he's listed as being a guest on the Ed Sullivan Show. Does anyone
know the exact date? The year probably coincided with his hits "Cherry
Pink" or "Patricia" hitting #1 in 1955 and 1958, respectively.

Thanks!
Joseph Levy

Subject: (exotica) Burt's TV Party

No one else has mentioned it yet, so...

Burt Bacharach has a 90 minute TV special coming up this Wednesday night on
TNT. Airing at 9:00 pm (eastern daylight time) and apparently repeating
immediately at 10:30 pm.

Burt is executive producer and will be playing piano and conducting the
orchestra. The singers I've seen listed are a mixed lot indeed. Dionne Warwick,
Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Salt-N-Pepa, Chrissie Hynde, Luther Vandross, Mike
Meyers, Ben Folds Five, All Saints, Wynonna?!?

It was actually taped last Wednesday in NYC. Did anyone on here catch the live
event? Or hear anything about how it was?

Subject: (exotica) Command "Special" LPs

Anytime I find a cheap Command LP I've never seen, I snag it (well, except
for the ones featuring singing groups--my own personal preference).  I was
sorting through my collection and noticed Command did more than one
"special" release LPs.  There may be a name for this pervasive practice,
but these are the specially numbered LPs "prepared expressly" for this or
that company.  It seems most prominent record labels did this...culling
cuts from their catalogs, slapping together some generic artwork (sometimes
laying out the product line of the company the album was made for) and
running a bunch for distribution by the company.  It made a great
promotional device for the company AND for the label ("now that you've
heard one cut from each of these artists, you can go out and buy the entire
albums...").  I sort of enjoy these more than the self-promotional albums
for the label itself because of the additional product advertisements.

My question is: what Command special LPs are you familiar with and which
cuts seem to be used again and again?

I've got three in my collection now:

CPS-1 SD/ OL-4 SD "Command Pops Special" prepared expressly for Olympic
Radio & Television Division, Long Island City, NY.  Total Time  32:06.
This one is interesting in that the CPS-1 number is what is on the label
and OL-4 is on the cover.  My theory is that  Olympic went for the cut rate
special here...using a generic special LP that slipped into a custom cover
(which was not a gatefold nor did it list the cuts).  I bet that other
special releases for the cheap companies were also CPS-1.
    Cheek to Cheek
    Beguine Tampico
    Forty-Second Street
    Vieni, Vieni
    I Want to Be Happy
    Johnny One Note
    Moon River
    Temptation
    While We're Young
    Love for Sale
    Tra Veglia E Sonna
    On the Street Where You Live

WH-1 SD "Westinghouse Presents The Best of Command Records". Total Time:
37:07.
This one had the standard Command label, but the label information was
mostly consistant with the album cover, although it said "The Best in
Command." Go figure.  So this issue was probably unique to Westinghouse?

I can second that!  A couple of weekends ago, I just got a load of vinyl
which I will be summarizing the highlights for the list soon.  It included
the aforementioned Prado LP.  Before any talk is started, this acquisition
was not achieved by elbowing Jessica away from any thrift stores.
Furthermore, YES, there were a number of Cugat LP's and YES there was an LP
sampler with...Edmundo Ros!  Since I wasn't fussing about either of them, I
guess it isn't poetic justice.  Let's call it prose justice.

The LP in question also features the fabulous Prado "Unh!" and "O Ganso",
which I have also acquired in perhaps it's original form on the "Gentle
Rain" soundtrack.  For those who read my post of last("Lest we Fugat..."),
two of the tracks from the LP made it to the sampler "Bravos Del Ritmo",
which you could buy before or after Prado and still be a happy chappy or
groovin' wooman.

For those of us who don't speak Spanish, Estas Si Viven translates as "The
Living End" and the cover features a waist high picture of the North end of
two Southbound women.

Cheekily,
Brian Phillips

Good God, *Luther Vandross*...?! I remember seeing a rerun of an early '80s
Saturday Night Live show where he completely destroyed A House Is Not A

fest. "Soul music", they call it...pah!

    inbetween the two: not really excellent, but not "not bad" either,
    just good, which means average, nothing to get excited about,
    but nothing to regret buying either...
    lots of short pieces, different styles, instrumentations.
    several rather minimalistic tracks that are only good for use in

    bad vinyl quality BTW!!!

Grreetings to the Exoticats:

I purchased Easy Tune Vol 3 & 4 and really enjoyed them.  My usual
sorces have dried up for the  first two volumes.  Does anyone know
where I could purchase or trade for Vol 1 & Vol II of Easy Tune.

 I finally purchased the Electronic Toys Cd from Jack.  Its great
wayout there & Jack's description fits it perfectly ( he also had the
best web price for it).

I also recommend the Hotel Easy CDs,  all 4 vol's swing nice and easy.

I don't believe in staying on topic.  Ask anything, everyone is here to help
and if it ain't "exotic" enough for the others, too bad.  ;P

You say Pusherman, but don't say Superfly.  So, if you heard Pusherman on the
radio or someplace else and don't have the Superfly soundtrack, that's what
you get first.

There is some fancy new double CD of this out with extras.  i still have the
original which i purchased 25 years ago as a high school kid.  One of my all-

From: Moritz R <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) TIKI REALLY LIVED!

Hi, Brian,
I wrote a really long letter and then the computer crashed. Scheisse!

It was all about Heintje and Heino and instrumental Volksmusik in the
alp-countries. Damn software!

I don't know if I can redo it all. I'll try...

Heintje, who is actually Dutch, was a child star with his big hit "Mama"
and nobody really nobody cares about his music, there is no devided
opinion about it. It's all very unfunky. Whereas Heino has some weird
qualities that make him at least being "camp" in my opinion. Because of
his weird look -  as an albino he wears sunglasses - as well because of
the fact that he seems to have some humor despite his nationalistic
appearance in general. When the punks in the 80s made him their Nr.1
enemy and fun of him by wearing blond wigs and sunglasses, he appeared
in a TV-show in a punk outfit. His music however is neither Schlager nor
German "country", it's Volksmusik or "volkst=FCmliche Musik" as they put
it today to include non-traditional material. I didn't hear all of the
hundreds or so records that he made (I don't like it), so I can't tell
the good songs from the crab. I only own the only two records, where you
can see him without his shades and you see his strange eyes popping out
of his face. His lyrics, if not old folk songs, are all about men
friendship, soldier dignitiy, adventure comradship, climbing mountains,
sailing seas, "love" so deep you drown in it etc etc. and I don't know
what... Forget him, if you can. If not you might end up listening to
"Zillertaler Sch=FCrzenj=E4ger" or "Margot Hellwig Duo".

There is however really interesting instrumental Volksmusik from
countries like Austria, Tyrol, Switzerland and also Bavaria (where I
live), and I should really know more about it. It is often played on
dulcimers (Hackbrett, Zither) and can be really fast and serial, like
Steve Reich or Terry Riley with alp-harmonies. It's really worth an
expedition to find out more about its history and the people who made
it. I listen to this kind of music when I drive through those landscapes
to give them a proper soundtrack...

But, you know, what I do right now is reading the books of Thor
Heyerdahl and his southsea expeditions. That's why I'm in the Exotica
mailing list, I guess. I finished "Con Tiki" and "Fatu Hiva", the island
where he lived "back to nature" for more than a year and I just started
"The Secrets of the Easter Islands". And you know what I found out to my
greatest surprise: TIKI really lived! Yes!
Heyerdahl claimes that the myths of the natives of Polynesia all
identically tell the story of their primal god, the forefather of all
forefathers, Tiki, who came in an ocean-raft from "The East", which is
the direction of South America. In Peru there was a god king, who
appears in the old tales of the Indians, called Con-Tici-Viracocha, or
just Tici, Ticci or Tiki, his official title, when he ruled Tiahuanaco,
who left the country one day to the open sea and never came back. He
apparentely had red hair, bright skin and a beard. When the second
Spanish ship reached Fatu Hiva of the Marquesan islands in 1595 the
sailors described some of the natives as white skinned, red-haired and
bearded.
Thor Heyerdahl has an endless list of proofs that the polynesian islands
were settled from South america, such as the plants, the animals and
artworks, that you can find in both regions, so there is no doubt about
that. Question is: where did Tiki and his tribe come from in the first
place, as they were not Peruvian natives and don't seem to fit into the
Southamerican folkscheme. Legend is they came from a far away country
from the north. Where they Vikings? Heyerdahl never says that, at least
not in the books that I have read so far.

Oh, the letter is going to become too long.

Bye for now, MO

I haven't heard anyone mention the Burt Bacharach tribute tommorow night.  I
think it's on TBS. I know Burt isn't necessarily "exotic," but I've sure
heard some exotic versions of his songs, and I think his stuff fits in well
with the exotic vibe here.  And Elvis Costello and Chrissy Hynde doing
Bacharach could be pretty exotic.  Just wanted to mention it for anyone who
hasn't heard already.

I read in a news paper recently about some genetic tests made on the
people of Polynesia, where they found no evidence at all that the
population should have migrated from South America.

On the other hand, I understand Heyerdahls fascination in this matter,
and he really has some stunning examples of similarity in culture
between the two areas.

Maybe they all "did" South America and then left for a greater paradise
;) Ehh well... A paradise until the europeans came along. As Heyerdahl
writes about Fatuhiva, the population went from about 100 000 to 4000 in
a hundred years.

our motion specialist record shop finder at
http://www.state51.co.uk/motion/ should have a few stores in amsterdam, and
it has a few in germany, but none in munich ... if anyone on the list knows
of any decent shops we don't have, could i ask a favour? - can you either
email me with details, or better still enter the details into the
shopfinder yourself ...?

the record shop finder relies totally on public input, but now has details
of over 320 shops, gathered in just over 3 months! thanks for your support
...

dan.

Oh, both Burt and this special *have* been mentioned often on the list. I
don't think there's any arguement that he's appropriate here.

Here's the info on tomorrows show:

Munich:

You MUST visit the Trader Vic's. It's in the Hotel Bayrischer Hof,
Promenadenplatz.
Check out the Atomic Cafe, to see what they're playing. Today they have
Mouse On Mars, great Duo from Dusseldorf.
Easy listening in a nice environment is played in the "Egon Bar",
Seitzstrasse 12. A MUST.
In the Hofbrauhaus you can drink beer by liters and dance on the table,
while bavarian oompah music is played.
when it's warm enough visit a beergarden, the one at the chinese tower
(english garden) has live music sometimes.
get a "prinz"-magazine to see whats going on or  an "in", which you find
lying out for free in many bars.
Eat at the Waikiki, Tengstrasse/Georgenstrasse...or at Trader Vic's.
Have brunch sunday morning at Weisses Brauhaus, Tal. Weisswurst, sweet
mustard and live oompah!
See the "showscan"-filmtheatre at the Bavaria-filmstudios, if you
haven't had that.

The OPTIMAL record shop is one of the best I found in the whole wide
world. It's in the Kollosseumstrasse, Munich, Bavaria.

There is also a steady fleamarket in a hall in the Kunstpark Ost, near
Ostbahnhof, where you find interesting second hand records.

That indicates that Tiki and his people came from somewhere else and stayed in
Peru only for a while. On the other hand it is very difficult to find 100%
polynesians today. Heyerdahl had already difficulties to find them 50 years
ago. Many many died from diseases brought by the westeners, many mixed. I'm not
an expert in zoology or botany or genealogy, but I'm an artist and I can only
say: the similarities you find in sculptures are striking!
