     ...er, ah, ahem. Open Channel D.

     Hi! I've never posted, but I've been getting the list for about a year.
Once and awhile, I have time to read a digest.

     Does anyone know what happened to the actress that played Lola on Peter
Gunn and recorded Dreamsville? Is she still around? Basically, I'd like to
know the whole nine.

Thanks,
Lar

"No ukeleles or steel guitars or falsetto singers or overused bongos, but a

the pop sound of today."

So says Leonard Freeman, Executive Producer of the series.

To which I say "drats...give me the bongos."

Subject: (exotica) Sex Italian Style

I'd like to alert all y'all to "Erotica Italia: The Kama Sutra of Italian
erotic movie music from the 1960s and 70s."  It's available on double LP or
CD from Arista/BMG Eurodisc, compiled by the Sound Gallery guys.  Tracks by
Morricone, Micallizzi, Trovajoli, etc.  Extremely groovie--on par with the
Easy Tempo collections.  But like "Stroboscopica," no film titles!

The brief liners also mention other recent reissued anthologies called
"Cinema 100" and Movie Grooves."  Whither these?

a few other versions:

The Mermen - Hawaii Slo-Mo (very slooooow surf version on the live CD "At
the Haunted House")
Radio Birdman - Aloha Steve & Danno  (off the seminal punkalbum "Radios
Appear")

there were also a bunch of French dance-remixes (by the likes of Dimitri of
Paris et al.) last year of popular sixties tv-tunes like Mission Impossible,
Professionals and Hawaii Five O

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. I recently scored this in LA for $2 thinking it might be
something I could sell on to someone. NO WAY. This is one helluva
soundtrack. "Beach Trip" is simply a mindblowing low-key tripped out groove
- - very "Mingo-go". This is really a soundtrack worth having. Don't know if
it's rare,but it should definitely be sought out.

More recent Peter Thomas stuff to watch out for is a remix he did about 1
year ago for L'Age D'Or in Germany. It is a remix 12" for Die Sterne called
"Themenlaeden" no.2. The mix is called "Out of Lugano 2 ON-Arrangement plus
Re-Mix von Peter Thomas". It is well groovy in a crime jazz sort of way.
Definitely something I play out when I DJ. I think I maybe even wrote about
it last year when I got it....

Subject: (exotica) Shaft in Exotica! (Long, baby)

More reviews from my big haul:

It's a Bossa Nova World - Laurindo Almeida and the Bossa-Nova All-Stars
(Capitol ST 1946)

Cover is a human (sorta) figure, sitting next to a globe.  Apparently, this
is the third album under this band name.  Accompanying him are Jimmie
Rowles, Howard Roberts, Max Bennett, Bob Cooper, Shelly Manne, Vic Feldman
and Chico Guererro.  For those of you who are jazz fans, you can imagine
the musicianship is of very high caliber.

The songs they picked, are an eclectic bunch, Till Then, Danke Schoen, Hava
Nagila and they LEAD OFF with Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport!  I am not lying
though, this is a great record.  If you see it, buy it!  Tasteful
percussion and immaculate percussion.    Interesting note: Almeida is
credited with playing a 12-string guitar and a gut guitar.  It's nice to
know where Almeida plays from.

How to Succeed(Vol. 5) - Presented as a Public Service by the United States
Army. (Do not use after January 1, 1972)
Cover is far too busy to describe accurately.  Let's just say that it looks
like Peter Max for kids who are easily convinced that the Army = Flower
Power.  Not quite exotic, however, I love records with ads on them!  This
is a true Public Service Announcement radio record.  The record has locked
grooves, so I have


...to get up while typing, to hear the next track.  Some quotes: "Good-bye
New York, Hello Fort Knox!"
"Freedom...

(had to get up again) is the right to choose a friend."
"If you've got a dose of the separation blues, see your Army recruiter
to-day"(about re-upping within 30 months and keeping your rank.

The most interesting ad is a patch on Neil Diamond's "Sweet Cherry Wine",
which goes  on about the ability to see the country.  The album is a
mixture of campy rock (30 Months NOT a sequel to Chuck Berry's 30 days),
campy C&W(Talkin' Enlistment Blues) and campy pomp (Freedom is...).

Rating: Boot Campy.

Merv Griffin - Appearing Nightly at the Piano (Metromedia MD 1023)

Cover can be described this way: take the background of Traffic's "Low
Spark of High-Heeled Boys" , with the same shape and perspective and put
Mr. Griffin in a turtleneck.

My wife and I have roughly the same conversation when we talk about
Griffin.  I think about coming home from school and having seen the
cartoons and sitting through talk show after talk show, all of which lead
off with the host(ess) singing a current song to stay hip with the times.
I remember Mike Douglas' rendering of Neil Sedaka's "Bad Blood",  John
Davidson attacking the Miracles' Shop Around (remember, this was a hit for
Captain and Tennille as well and THEY had a show, too!) and my favorite,
Dinah Shore singing "Get Back, Honky Cat".  After I work up a good lather
about this, my wife says, "I'd rather listen to Merv Griffin playing the
piano than sing.  He can play!"

Yes, yes he can.  However, the album that ensued has arrangements by one
Frank Hunter that have me looking around for Busby Berkeley chorines.
Well organized, but a bit over the top.  One will hear him sweep his hands
over the keyboards so many times over the course of the album, one hopes
that the picture would just START, already!  He covers Jean, I Talk to the
Trees and to fan the rumors of his sexuality, one of only two orginals is A
Time for Tony (in all honesty, it sounds as if it was written for a boy.
Maybe I'd best stop talking about this.)

The last song (had I paid more for this) sums up my feeling about this
record.  Not the fact that it's called "Moonlight on the Lake", the fact
that it's taken from the movie..."The Rook".  Buy this album and you will
have been rooked.

The Music of Les Baxter - Don Tiare and his orchestra exotique (Mercury SR
60845)

Cover features a woman of no fixed ethnicity, save the fact that she is NOT
of European extraction, next to a plant of some sort.

I must confess that this record started off wrong for me "Quiet Village"
should be played in C and Tiare played it in F.  Plus, I am so familiar
with Baxter's version (and find no fault!) anyone else's, I have a tough
time with.  Bangkok Cockfight (difficult to say) is very good indeed,
though.   The album does not list musicians.   These are small combo
renditions and they are very good indeed.

Baxter must have liked Tiare, since, according to the liners, he wrote some
pieces specifically for this album.  I am not versed well enough in Baxter
(Paging Lounge Laura!) to say which songs they are.

Good album, however, don't pay too much for an original, since it clocks in
at slightly over 19 minutes.  If it is reissued (and it should be), perhaps
they'll pair it with something.

Percussion in HI-FI - David Carroll (Mercury MG 20166) (1956)

The cover is of various percussion instruments.  The liner notes are as
detailed as Tiare's were vague.  not only do we have personnel (Dale
Anderson, Hubert Anderson, Bobby Christian, Sam Denov, Harry Brabec and
Frank Rullo), I also know that it was recorded in Studio A of Universal
Recording Corporation in Chicago, with Telefunken U-47s (Frank Zappa LOVED
these mikes!) and recorded on Ampex machines!  Favorite quote: "The
cymbal's shimmer, the virile woof of a huge bass drum..."

I recall there was a thread about David Carroll a while back and I grew up
listening to "Children's Guide to the Orchestra", so I hopefully will not
be retracing old ground.  This is a fantastic album and not just because I
enjoy drums.  The tunes are great (Jungle Drums, Discussion in Percussion,
Malaguena) and the arrangements are lively.  The recording is indeed
impeccable.  If you see it and pass it up, imagine Dick Butkus.  In a
dress.  Singing.  And then tackling you.

Wild Stereo Drums - Various (not Edgard) (Capitol ST-1553)

The cover is a picture of a Timpani, orange background.  Liners are just as
descriptive as the previous.

Quote from the notes: "Powerful Percussion!  Dramatic Stereo!  Exciting
Variety!"

This was one of those records that I had heard about a couple of years back
and wanted.  The reason was the fact that I grew up in New York, outside of
the city and I remember Dan Ingram signing off on Musicradio WABC (ding!)
with a rather brash song, which turned out to be "Tri-Fi Drums" from this
album.  There is a web page dedicated to this Radio Station, which has him
saying just this.  So now I finally have it and you know what?  It's one of
the lesser tracks on the album!  The quoted bit is from the middle of the
song and flames be doggoned ('scuse the language), I am not a fan of Billy
May.  Too smooth or something, I am not sure, just not my style as talented
as he is.  For the May-ites, yes, I know he backed Yma Sumac on Mambo! and
I prefer Vivanco and Baxter.

The album is good, but knowing what I do now, I would go with the Carroll
album first and this one next.  Plus, the other album is straight
percussion, tuned and otherwise; this cheats with horns.

Small racial axe to grind:  Plas Johnson, a great saxophonist, is mentioned
in the notes.  He is (was?) black and where do they mention him? On the
song, "Uncle Tom Tom".

Aliki-my love Soundtrack - Manos Hadjidakis (Fontana MGF 27523)

Cover is of Aliki Vouyoulaki on the Greek island of Ios(sigh).

This the same fellow that wrote "Never On Sunday".  I know nothing about
Greek musics, even though my last name is Greek (it means lover of horses
and one snide comment out of ANY of you gets the Butkus experience).  It is
a pleasant album, with many nice melodies, however, it is not exceptional,
although I really appreciate the tasteful arrangements after Griffin's
album.  Some of it even sounds like a Greek band catering to a Mexican
audience (Aliki's Cha Cha).  There is always the front cover to consider.
Sigh.

A fond, virile woof, until the next time,
Brian Phillips

Yes, Arling and Cameron produce the bulk of the music, along with some of
their friends from the Dutch dance music community. Richard Cameron coined
the term "Easy Tune" to describe the music he was playing at parties in
Holland around 1995-1996. It was a mix of loungecore, house, 70's soul and
funk, 60's ska, French Pop and disco. The parties became a sensation, and
"Easy Tune" became the hottest thing in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the press
pigeonholed Richard and his style as being just about "old records", so
last year he declared "Easy Tune" dead, and proclaimed his new style
"All-In". "The Best of Easy Tune" is a 1997 compilation of 12" and CD
singles and EP's that were issued in Holland on the Drive-In label; some of
the tracks were pop hits in Holland. When the album was released in
Japan,it met with instant success. Richard had hosted a party for Konishi
and Tanaka (Pizzacato 5 and Fantastic Plastic Machine, respectively) in
1996 in Amsterdam; soon after that Richard, along with his mate Karin, were
DJ'ing regularly in Tokyo. They'll be back there again for most of this
summer. Richard has also DJ'd in NY, LA and with me in Boston. He hosted
Combustible Edison when we were in Amsterdam 2 years ago. Gerry and Richard
also DJ'd alongside Le Hammond Inferno at the ComEd/Peter Thomas show at
Berlin's Templehof Airport lounge.

Richard and Gerry had a falling out with the Drive-In people (those records
are now out of print in Holland), so they started their own label called
All-In. They issued 2 12" singles earlier this year; a full length CD is
due sometime soon. Richard plays little if any easy listening music now,
prefering more of the Big Beat, French House and Speed Garage styles
favored in Tokyo and London these days. One recent track however, titled
"Voulez-Vous", retains the Easy Tune feel and groove - - it's sensational.

You can also hear Richard, Gerry and Karin on the most recent Pizzacato
Five album, doing the track titled "Arigato! We Love You!".

The Dutch team The Easy Alohas continue to DJ  around the Benelux
countries, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S., playing ez listening
mixed with funk, acid jazz, Big Beat and what's called Popcorn records
(mostly old soul 45's played slowed down somewhat; the name comes from the
club in Belgium where the records were played, and the dance that goes with
'em). They issued a 12" last year called "Spy-Fi" [Pssst Records; Holland]
that falls in the electro-spy realm of Big Beat (like The Propellerheads
and The EZ Drum & Bass Orchestra)

From: Brian Phillips <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) I'm just talking about Shaft's big score(Long!)

This time let's start with a soundtrack:

Dingaka - Bertha Egnos and Eddie Domingo(Mercury SR 61013) (1965)
Cover is a depiction of various scenes from the movie.
For those who thought that Jamie Uys (pronounced Ace) started with "The
Gods Must Be Crazy" (myself included), here you go.  This is exotic sure as
you are born.  It is apparently, comprised primarily of traditional song of
South Africa.  They are all quite good and well-recorded (even if it IS in
fake stereo!).  The soundtrack also includes spon excerpts.  It does sound
rather similar to Ladysmith Black Mambazo at times (not a complaint).
Best song title: Thunder Orgy.


Dance Party - Ralph Marterie and his Marlboro Men (Mercury-Wing SRW 16259)
Cover is a Pink background, with yellow and white polka dots, with
silhouettes of black polka dancers(well, maybe not the polka but that was
too easy to resist!)

Prize winner for the least liner notes.  Back cover is and ad for other
releases.  I don't have a date for this, but the rather lusty sax would
indicate a late 50's release.  Duke Ellington and Jimmy Forrest page your
service!  The song "Night Stroll" is really "Night Train", which is an
extrapolation on "Happy-Go-Lucky Local".  Pretend Cha-Cha is a plausible
Cha-Cha, Cha Hua-Hua is better.  Hey Babe will have you begging for Bruce
Channel's "Hey, Baby",a  far better song.  "Torero" is the oddest, with
French-style accordion, a twist beat and a jazzy guitar.

Rating: whaaa?


The Sounds of the Exotic Guitars - (Ranwood RS-1)
Cover is a house, with pictures of five of the albums that were released
under this name.    This leads me to believe that this is a best of.  To
which I say, this is the best?  Bill Justis (well past Raunchy and heading
towards Paunchy and leaving me feeling punchy) seems to be of the mind that
exotic guitars are ones that sound like Duane Eddy against orchestral
backdrops.  The selections are a varied bunch from Indian Love Call to
Everybody's Talkin'.  I would not only not recommend this album, I will
wash my hands after placing it back in the jacket.


AY! Amor...Tito Guizar Sings - (Coral CRL 57437)
Cover is a woman with a black ribbon and a red shawl (hey kids, we're in
Mexico!) looking at a man who is in danger of being hit by the guitar neck
that is above his head.

Long known to me only as a blooper ("Ladies and Gentleman, presenting Tito
Guitar and his Guizar"), it was nice to finally hear him.  What a guy!  Not
only does he play guitar and sing, he was amateur middleweight boxing
champion of Mexico and member of the Davis Cup Tennis Team.  He also sang
opera with the Chicago Grand Opera Company having trained in Italy, as well
having been in movies and on TV.  He also happens to be a "superbly
handsomely six footer", which may explain his absence on the cover.  Who
want to see a fellow with four extra feet, no matter how handsome he is?

This is a pleasant album of standards (Ojos Verdes was in a Popeye cartoon.
 The one featuring the danicing team of Popito and Olivita).  He can
certainly play the guitar and sings very well.  He is backed minimally,
with guitar and singes.  I am fonder of the Cuban music styles than some of
the Mexican genres; this is a very good album for those who are fond of the
latter.


Fantasy in Orbit - Thomas Dissevelt (Philips (yay!) PHS 600-189) (1965)
Cover is a lovely scientific impossibilty.  We are looking at Saturn an
Earth-like planet and the Sun, in eclipse.  On the ground, hope against
hope, are mushrooms, which is odd, since everyone knows that the stork
brings mushrooms!

The album is subtitled "An Astronaut's Imperssons While Orbiting the Earth"

Dissivelt was board in Leyden, Holland on March 4, 1921 according to the
liners, "...European education and experience well qualifies him for his
particular probing."  Maybe he was abducted by aliens, too.

This is incredible, abstract stuff.  Very forward-looking electronic music
for 1965 and quite challenging.  I can only imagine the time it must have
taken to have recorded this with the technology available.  Not a
soundtrack for a movie, but an aural adventure, with descriptions of each
track, so you may take the voyage along with the astronaut on the record.

No amount of liner notes can explain how "Waltzing Matilda" got on this
record, though.

Subject: (exotica) Big Bob, Pale Andy, Befuddled Hulot

Airing on u.s. tv this week...

Thursday night at 8:00 pm (eastern daylight time) on A&E's Biography: Robert
Mitchum.

Friday night on Bravo, 8:00 pm, 1:05 am (also Saturday at 1:00 pm): the 1991
documentary, "Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol". Has a good, droll
sense of humor -- doing things like cutting together comments from people who
have totally opposite viewpoints regarding the white-wigged one.

Friday night/Saturday morning on TCM, 2:00 am: "Mon Oncle" (1958), directed by
and starring Jacques Tati. Almost no dialog as "M. Hulot" confronts his
sister's ultra-moderne house. If you're not familiar with Tati, this means
complex slapstick situations delivered at a relaxed pace. Been a while since
I've seen it, but I'm sure it's got a lot of pleasant music on the soundtrack.
Maybe someone here can educate us on the music in Tati's films (such as who did
it)? Thanks.

Subject: (exotica) re: Xmas Music Question

Okay, here's the problem: Xmas '95 I'm listening to AM radio in the
early morn, and the DJ put on a modern parody of "Winter Wonderland".
I've never heard it since, and I have no idea who it's by... Can anyone
help?

Obviously this was a fairly modern recording (within the last 15 years I
would think) done in eezee-listening style (sorta like Charlie Rich or
something), but the male singer had the slyest, most subtle, delinquent,
smirk-tone in his voice, as he sang:

...Lacy things gone missin'...
Didn't ask her permission...
Wearin' her clothes... silk pantyhose...
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear...

(another stanza went like this):
Later on, if ya wanna
We can dress like Madonna...
Put on some eye-shade, and join the parade
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear...

Yeah, I know, it was stupid, it was childish, juvenile, silly. But damn
it was fun!

If anyone knows this recording, I'd be grateful. If I could get this
album by June/July I think it would sound great blasting out the back
yard during barbecues, tee hee.

Thanks,

 Darcy -

Subject: (exotica) David Carroll and space

In a few days I'll post the list of FREE MOOG records I was given and why.
And the records I just bought at the record show here. (Why?  So someone
else can be jealous for a change.)
But I just played this David Carroll record, "Happy Feet" and there's this
completely amazing cut called "Blue Blazer", written by the man himself,
which is like some great spy movie soundtrack theme for a film that never
was.  Or was it?
The rest of the record is pretty cool in that David Carroll heavy
percussion and arrangement kind of way.  And it's produced by Quincy Jones.
 But nothing on the rest of this record compares to or prepares you for
this cut.
Is this already well-mined territory?  Is that cut on all kinds of CD
comps?  (It should be.)  You David Carroll record-owners, fish that record
out and see if I'm lying.
On another note, on the recent Space album lists, I didn't see any mention
of the John Keating synth record "Space Experience".
Of course, maybe I don't know what a "space record" is.  But if "Sounds in
Space" - that essentially classical music sampler with a few non-groovy
words by Ken Nordine - qualifies, then this certainly must.  It's got a
picture of an astronaut and a space ship on the cover and he does "Star
trek", "Rocket Man" and best of all "I feel the earth move".
Stay tuned for the attempts at eliciting jealousy, to come.
Nat

Yep, yours was the message I was thinking of. CDNow has deleted the
LaserDisc from their catalog. But despite the expense, I went ahead and
ordered the video anyway since footage of Prado is extremely hard to find. I
think you're right about it being a Mexican TV show, probably from the
1970's. Will let you know when (and if) the tape arrives. BTW, it's also
backordered!

Thanks!

I wholeheartedly concur.  Also his "Viva Bossa Nova" and "Ole Bossa Nova".
And you didn't mention the groovy organ playing by Jimmy Rowles.  And my
new hero Howard Roberts.

And Arthur Treacher, Merv's sidekick, reciting pop lyrics in a
Shakespearean tone, in order to make fun of them.
As much as I/we resented this or made fun of it, in the end all these
VERSIONS of rock n roll that we endured, were as significant a part of the
pop culture we grew up with as were the genuine rock musicians who we
wished we could see more of.  On TV at least.
And now I listen almost exclusively to these fake renditions of rock hits
that I once resented so much, and almost never to the originals.  They won!
I don't care if I never hear another Beatles song by the actual Beatles but
if it's the  Hollyridge Strings, I'd even sit through "When I'm 64".
"Maybe that's because you're actually pushing 64", I can hear someone say.

>to fan the rumors of his sexuality (MERV'S that is), one of only two

I hate that I know this.  I'm sure I'm not the only one.  But Tony was the
name of Merv's son.  It may have been a marriage of convenience but Merv
did have a son.  I seem to remember he died.

>Percussion in HI-FI - David Carroll (Mercury MG 20166) (1956)

David Carroll rules!  Latin Percussion.  rePercussion.  Percussion
Orientale.  Even the records without "percussion" in the title.  I don't
know anything about him but I even kept his show tunes record so that's the
ultimate tribute.
Those triple babe pictures on the front rule too.
(I think that's the first time I've used the word "rules" but nothing else
would do.)

Subject: (exotica) Peter Thomas

So this Peter Thomas everyone's gushing about.. and I don't doubt them for
a minute.  That must be the same Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra that I have
on some Polydor album doing "Lady Madonna", "Something Stupid", "Delilah",
"Words" etc.  Actually some of you would probably love his version of
"Cabaret" featuring Hawaaian guitar, smoothly seguewaying into a Dixieland
ending.
I have to admit, even though it's not exactly the grooviest "loungecore"
record I have, there is something interesting about the arrangements.
I guess what I'm saying is it's not James Last.  Maybe James second-Last...
but I have many worse records.  Andre Kostelanetz doing "Me and Mrs. Jones"
springs to mind.  But then, I like that too.

I think that a copy of "Space Experience" would be a necessary part of any
space cadet's record library. I would add that the strongest tracks are the
Keating originals: "The Unknown Planet" & Prelude to Earthrise".

By the way, didn't Keating release another "space" record? I seem to
remember running across another lp in the bargain bins with a very similar
cover. Of course, I now kick myself for passing on that disc.

Allan.

Oops!  That should have been *Elliot Kendall* who's doing the

Subject: (exotica) Staged for Stereo/80 Drums Around the World Mystery...

I've just realized that the two Ultralounge tracks attributed to "80
Drums Around the World" ("Istanbul" and "It Happened in Monterey"), are
from the cool Capitol 1961 sampler _Staged for Stereo: Highlights_,
which incidentally comes in a plastic box with a clear front and a paper
booklet, exactly like a giant proto-CD.  But get this:  these two tracks
are _not_ listed as by 80 Drums around the World, but by someone like
Jack Marshall or Bob Thompson (I don't have the album with me).  So, has
anyone ever actually _seen_ an 80 Drums Around the World LP, or are they
some sort of ghost group...?

Mystified in BossaNovaVille,
Keir
