Subject: (exotica) Question I should have asked two years ago
Something has been bugging me for a long time, so here goes:
City of Westminster String Band - who were they and did they release any
records?
I'm sure many list members enjoy their two tracks on the Sound Spectrum
compilation, 'a touch of velvet, a sting of brass' and 'split level'.
Also, there's 'le blon' from the 'house of loungecore, easy project vol
2' collection, which was mentioned in Jimmy's playlist. It's great,
crisp orchestral easy listening with a swinging percussive backing.
In addition, I recall one or more tracks (one was 'this guy's in love) on
some of the compilation double LPs released on the Marble Arch label in
the UK in the late sixties and early seventies.
But I have NEVER seen any trace of a record or full length LP exclusively
by them.
Was one made? If so, does anyone have it?
Or was it just production music?
Please tell me there's more...
regards
Jonny

Subject: (exotica) Beach Samba
I had the Astrud Gilberto CD "Beach Samba" in my hand at the record store
yesterday, and then at the last minute I put it back...
Did I screw up? Should I run back there right now?? I've never heard her
work outside the Jobim collaborations... what do you guys and gals think of
this record?
I did get to the cash register with the newly reissued 2CD "Superfly"...
thanks to all who advised me about Curtis. This is exactly what I was
looking for... love the instrumental extras, too. This is an example of
what a CD reissue SHOULD be... if only they all had this much style and
class.

Just goes to show how tastes vary. I didn't see that SNL episode, but
Luther does "House is not a Home" on one of his older LPs and I
absolutely loved it. It was one of the first Burt-penned tunes I heard

Subject: (exotica) Fwd: Old Blue Eyes Online
JERSEY CITY, N.J., April, 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Separate fact from
fiction, as New Jersey Online, ( http://www.nj.com ), salutes New
Jersey's native son, Frank Sinatra, with a multimedia tribute. New
Jersey Online, NJO, New Jersey's premier Internet publisher, features
The Frank Sinatra Celebrity Shrine where you can track the life and
times of Old Blue Eyes himself, from his humble Hoboken beginnings
through his hey-day in Hollywood to the rumor mill of today.
"Frank Sinatra - The Voice of Hoboken" ( http://www.nj.com/sinatra
), breaks new ground on the Web in a multimedia 'Net documentary. NJO
lets the voices of Sinatra friends and admirers tell the story of
Hoboken's most beloved hometown boy. Using RealMedia's Real Presenter
software, the "in their own voices" tour mixes with vintage and
present-day photographs for a dynamic 'Net documentary.
There's no clicking required, as you listen to Sinatra's longtime
neighbor and fan Rose Cerbo, Hoboken Mayor Anthony Russo and biographer
Ed Shirak share the anecdotes and influences of an American icon.
"You can find a lot of information about Frank Sinatra on the Web,"
said New Jersey Online Entertainment Producer Randy Abramson, "but we
wanted to create a site that focused on the influence he's had on his
hometown and home state. And we wanted to do it with the latest
technology."
Visit NJO's Sinatra photo gallery that follows "The Chairman of the
Board" from the early days through his high-profile romances, the "Rat
Pack" years into his very active retirement.
Check out the stories from the Star-Ledger, the song and video clips
in the multimedia section and talk Frankly in the forum. Or send an
electronic card with sound and a personal message to your favorite fan
or to Sinatra's family -- we've got Sinatra's e-mail address.

Subject: (exotica) PRODUCT MUSIC Vol 1
i don't remember reading hearing anything about this before, but i just
picked up a copy of a new CD entitled PRODUCT MUSIC Vol 1. it's over one
hour of the most painful, laugh inducing music i've ever heard (pardon me
for my 90's perspective) from industrial films of the 60's & 70's (in-house
promotional films including)
some of the "oh, god help us" titles include:
Hoorary For Human Engineering
Tractor Driving Man
My Bathroom Is A Private Place
Dance The Slurp
He's A Penny Man (JC Penny's)
My VIP--Tribute TO Salesmen
etc.
It's a limited edition of 1000...from Honest Abe Discs in Japan. but
considering the liner notes are in perfect english and very upfront about
not having copyright permission to do any of this....i wonder about the
validity of either of those.
either way, i picked it up at a local shop for the low, low price of
$12.98....a bargain i would say.

It was written:
>[The Monkees theme]It's available on Estas Si Viven (PGD/Polygram Latino
31462-2). >Fantastic CD--includes killer covers of "Fly Me to the Moon"
and "The Eyes of Texas
>Are Upon You."
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

I don't know if it is the same version or not. I would assume that it is
not. What label is the Singers Unlimited version on? I did not mention

I really liked some of the songs off of the first Frenchy album,

blindly purchasing another cd by the band.
Does anyone know about the Che's Lounge album?
I appreciate any help you can give me about this record. I found it

Hello talmonstudio:
What a perfect description of this wonderful collection.
Product Music was discussed on the list over a year ago and was also
mentioned at Vic's Lounge. I had trouble finding it until I contacted
Other Music in NYC.
They may still have copies of the PM cd at a price similar to what
you paid.
I know there's probably a lot more of this music out there but
I have never seen it for sale.
Thanks Chuck

Can't let this pass by unmentioned...
In yesterday's edition of that ageless, single circular-panel comic, "The

The comics appear online at the King Features site:
http://www.kingfeatures.com/comics/
But they seem to maintain a 2 week delay (to protect the newspapers?).
So to describe it briefly here:
Daddy is seated at an upright piano, plunking away with one finger while little

Do you know anything about '60s electronic sound pioneers,

Both worked w/ audio generators, ring modulators, etc.

Availability of recordings would be much appreciated,
as would folk tales of their lives. Please e-mail me

You wanted to know more about the Hotel Easy cds?
Well they are on Virgin UK though 4 other lables do appear on them.
There are four volumes of Hotel Easy: Hotel Easy London, Hotel Easy
Paris, Hotel Easy Rome & Hotel Easy St. Tropez. I purchased my
copies from Other Music which can be reached at sales@othermusic.com
or call 212 477-8150. Tom who works at Other Music is very
knowlegable about the exotic scene. He still has copies available for
sale there.
I hope this helps you, Thanks, Chuck

i have not heard it yet, but it is the guitar player for the Dead Kennedy's.
it is probably pretty good depending on what you are into.
Remember Viva Las Vegas.
the album cover is worth the $6 itself.
i am going to buy it for the reason that i was involved in starting a club
here that eventually fell thru in which i was going to call it Che's Lounge!

Dear Michael,
Thanks for you posting supporting Ros, Cugat & Prado. I enjoy many of their
recordings and never stop to collect their LP's & CD's. I don't see why
other people had to publicly put down these artists because of the
difference in taste. W
Well, whatever they say, I will continue to cherish the good works by Ros,
Cugie, & Prado.
Best wishes,
Anthony

You use "cheez" in a way that makes me think you have a *negative*
value
judgment attached to that term. ;-)
Everyone's entitled to their taste, and this taste is a good
contrast as
pretty much the OPPOSITE of me. I, and historically a potential
majority
of folks on this list, are more drawn to those other artists and
started
pillaging the thrift stores because, while LPs like POPS & PRADO and
ROCKAMBO may not be "definitive," they're much more quirky,
eccentric,
and, well, *FUN*. "Legit" jazz, "legit" Latin, "legit" big
band/swing,
are far too often uninteresting to ME. (Give me Dean Elliott over
the
Dorseys ANY DAY, and Living Stereo-era Prado over all those
"definitive
mambo" masters combined.)
My world, for one, is a much more fun place for them having "sold
out."
;-)
BTW, I concur with the view stated on here before that Mercury had
the
near monopoly on cool Cugat LPs.
Speaking of Ros, has anyone ever heard his early 70s Phase 4 album
THIS
IS MY WORLD? It's got this *incredible* lead track with Ros singing
about
himself and his music, "El Mundo de Edmundo (This Is My World)" that
comes off like a theme song for some bombastic Edmundo Ros Sonny &
Cher-esque TV show (maybe it WAS!??). I don't have any vivid
memories of
the rest of the record, but that track is just mind-meltingly
amusing to
me.
And let it be said that Ros' HAIR GOES LATIN is one of my favorite
albums
to listen to, and for me goes far beyond one-time-joke "camp." I
could
listen to that sucker indefinitely. (Meanwhile, I don't think I've
ever
made it all the way through any of those Machito LPs I picked up,
but I
intend to someday.)
Not intended to be flame-inducing hate mail,
Michael "Double Cheez Pleez" Toth

Subject: Re: (exotica) Frenchy: Che's Lounge
Personally I loved the first one and this one is just as good but a bit
different
I think it's good enough that you will like it though you will probably feel
it has the same amount of hits and misses
It is a bit different but not too much (ie If you like the band you will still
love this CD)
There is a bit more guitar - in a Loungey way though - due to the addition
(but subsequent subtraction) of East Bay Ray (formerly of the Dead Kennedys
and currently of surf instro band Jumbo Shrimp)
>for $8.65 at everycd.com.
heck at that price you can't complain

Subject: (exotica) Shaft's big score!(Sizable, but look who's posting it)
I bought a collection from a fellow who had a father in radio. The
collection is about 400 or so albums which, combined with my collection,
brings me up to about 409 albums. This is an extremely conservative estimate.
Not all of it is exotica (Ray Conniff. Noooooo!) so I will not bother you
with the stuff I don't feel meshes with the list. I will also issue my
standard disclaimer: sorry if someone has mentioned this before. You also
will not be reading about ALL of the things that I got that I feel will be
of interest in this post alone. I would like to spread it out, so I can
give the albums their due and not bore all of you. Who needs a bunch of
angry villagers storming my house holding Tiki torches?
Pagan Love - Stanley Wilson (Capitol T-1552)
This is hot stuff, down to the cover (a far away shot of a woman who must
have left the house in an awful hurry. Hope the shower isn't still
running). The back cover has rather garish line drawings. See it at
http://www.tamboo.com/Selections60.html
The liners say that this was composed for a documentary called "The Mating
Urge". The titles range from conservative (The Proposal) to the
descriptive (Abduction of the Bride) to the "Wow" (The South Seas
Can-Can!?), each title has a country and a description next to it.
"Abduction" sounds somewhat like Respighi's Pines of Rome in spots, the
whole affair is very Les Baxter-esque (it is a Capitol record!). Lush
orchestration and winning tunes. Viva Wilson!
More Bagels and Bongos - Irving Fields Trio (Decca DL 74114)
The thrust behind this series of albums is "...a wonderful blend of popular
Yiddish Favorites set to various Latin American rhythms..."
The cover shows a happy couple, a bongo player either cropped out of the
picture or cursed to live life with only two hands and a lap and 11 rows
of, yup bagels hanging behind the couple. Reading the notes, I see that
Fields composed "Managua, Nicaragua" which Dr. Demento played when the news
was filled with stories about Nicaragua.
The music consists of a piano, bass and either bongos or highly resonant
bagels being struck rhythmically. The music is quite nice and it is
indeed a blend of cultures, with neither winning or losing. A rather
enjoyable outing (not the Lesbian Seagull kind of outing, Nat!). Some of
the titles: I'll Always Be Yours, My Hometown Girl, Bublitchki and my
favorite, Hora Merengue.
Hot and Cole - Buddy Cole (Warner Bros WS-1252) (1958)
Personnel - Cole - Organ, Red Callender - Bass, Vince Terri - Gutar, Alvin
Stoller - Drums
The cover is a woman's head, mouth slightly agape, licking her lips.
Apparently, this was his second album for the WB, the first being "Have
Organ, Will Swing" (whatever that is supposed to mean). the liners are
also in dubious taste [referring to the executives that were pleasantly
surprised with the sales of his first record] "The first thing they thought
was simply, "Wow!" Which, with just the right kind of shake of the head,
indicates a profound admiration and appreciation of Buddy's swinging
organ." In an odd move, the back album suggests other Organ albums for
listening pleasure and they list OTHER companies labels (Yes, Lenny Dee is
mentioned!)
While Mr. Cole is not Jimmy Smith or John Patton, he does quite well on
"Lullaby of the Leaves" and "Idaho". It is a pleasantly swinging album of
standards.
The Astromusical House of Pisces - Ed Bland (G.W.P 1012) (1969)
Cover is a woman kneeling wearing a Sea Green (Pisces' color) one-piece
bathing suit designed by Oscar de la Renta. Apparently, this is a sign of
the Poet or Interpreter.
I could quote from these hilarious notes all day.
1. "In A WHITER SHADE OF PALE, the Piscean opens for us the ultimate of his
retreat."
2. "MY FAVORITE THINGS, for the Pisces born, will probably evok memories of
days at the beach, picnics with gay friends in amiable congregation..."
3. "But for the Pisces, the space left by the lost love is hastily peopled
with goblins of fear..."
Carroll Richter (Astrologist) could have gone into comedy. There are 11
other albums (I only have this one. I am a Libra, son of a book) each
programmed to the particular sign.
Please refer to the artist credit. Bland is right. This is a dreadful
album of tepid muzak that is best forgotten, or hopefully will come off
after a few tomato juice baths.
The Gentle Rain - Music by Luiz Bonfa, Arranged and Conducted by Eumir
Deodato (Mercury MG 21016) (1966)
The movie was about a lonely and frustrated woman who flies to Rio de
Janeiro and meets a fellow with trauma-related muteness. For a film with
such a morose plot, the music is, on the whole, rather lively. Hoora for
Bonfa! It features "O Ganso", in two versions and many other great songs.
It's one of those soundtracks that is good enough that I needn't see the
movie. Sometimes full orchestra, sometimes small combo, all wonderful.
Summary (if you ever see any of these albums)
Pagan Love - Buy!
More Bagels and Bongos - Buy.
Hot and Cole - Buy!
...Pisces - Don't buy, unless it's a dime and it has the liner notes.
The Gentle Rain - Buy!
Good-bye for now, my amiable congregation,
Brian Phillips
