The Secrets Of Easter Island

Nova Online is sending a 75 person crew to Easter Island on an
expedition to determine how the Easter Islanders were able to carve,
move and erect the island's famous statues. The site features daily
updates from the field and offers readers the chance to send in
suggestions on how to move and erect the statue, view
QuickTime VR movies of the Island and a Moai statue, and more.

Subject: (exotica) Bob Crewe

I have a couple of LPs by the Bob Crewe Generation, who also did
Barbarella:
- - Music to watch Birds by
- - Music to watch Girls by

These are both excellent, particularly the first one - nice light easy
listening with spacey sounds and a beat.

I understand that he was on the Warwick label, then his own Dynavoice
label, and then Elektra.  Can anyone recommend any other LPs by him which
I might like?

Jonny

Subject: (exotica) chicago event 4/23

for Chicago listers:

I will keep this short because it's not directly related to the list
(though it is about music, some of it exotica).

On Thursday 4/23 (today for most of you),
there will be an opening reception for "Music Muzak Musique," a juried
show of artworks about music.  It will be held from 4 to 6 pm at the
Lounge Gallery at SAIC, on the 2nd floor of the Champlain Building (37
S. Wabash).  The show runs until May 17th or so.

I am one of the show's curators, and I also have something in it.  We
will be giving away old 45s as souvenirs (one per customer, mostly in
super-rough shape).

If you come, please introduce yourself to me - I'd like to meet people
from the list.

Yikes! But that's already been "discovered" by Thor Heyerdahl long ago. The
natives knew it all along.

The tracks hadn't been when the disc was conceived. What people who aren't
in the record business don't know is how long it actually takes to get
licenses to reissue tracks. This project, for example, was conceived 2 1/2
years ago - - that's how long it took to get the thing out. And that was
with the full cooperation of Polydor Germany AND Peter Thomas himself.

This is why all of your favorite albums have not appeared on CD. License
wrangling is an incredibly long, difficult and expensive proposition. I
know the common litany:"well, if the major label isn't going to reissue it
themselves, why don't they just let someone else do it? They still get the
money!" If only it was that easy. I had 3 projects with Scamp that will
never be released because the major labels refused to give us licenses.
Factors include lost original contracts, possible future release
considerations, inability to locate master tapes, ownership legal disputes,
etc.

Subject: (exotica) the senior Al Casey

Okay, I dug out the info, so I'm not just guessing this time...

The Al Casey we have been talking about was born in California in 1936. Raised
in Phoenix, Arizona. Did lots of sessions there and in California, as well as
his solo stuff.

The Al Casey we haven't been talking about was born in Kentucky in 1915 (no
relation). A straight-ahead jazz guitar player. Logged most of his years
playing with Fats Waller, a stint with Louis Armstrong, then with King Curtis.
Plus some session/solo work. A couple of solo albums were "Buck Jumpin'" on
Swingville (supposed to be available as a Prestige CD) and "The Al Casey
Quartet" on Moodsville. Despite his age, going by context, I'm guessing he's
the Al Casey playing in New Orleans.

I wouldn't sign that statemant... The Mini-Moog that came out in the Mid
70s was rather pretty smooth with his three oscilators. And then think
of the works of Walther Carlos and his Bach-anticipations, quite
harmonic! As a matter of fact: the synthesizer was THE instrument that
could be used in many ways.

 Yeah! And I'm "discovering" right now the incredible book by Thor
Heyerdahl "Aku Aku". The natives, when asked by Heyerdahl, how their
ancestors had moved these big heavy figures (up to 12 meters high, solid
rock) according to their knowledge, they all answered unisono - and they
meant it: The stone gods have walked there themselves.

In the Kon Tiki Museum Homepage you can find cute technical drawings
about the possible methods the natives in the past might have used...
Stay tuned! I'm still reading the book...

Just a brief sentimental memory of a record I checked out from the library
about 100 times as a youngster:

If you ever wanna hear everything the Moog can do, try to find the album
"Walter (now Wendy) Carlos By Request".

It has a 15 min or so audio adventure through music history called "Pompous
Circumstances" that you will never forget.

2. Planet of the apes - Jerry Goldsmith

Yes I agree that the composers are great, etc. etc., but are these among
their better works?

Technically that's true of course because it's a guy's name and he knows
how it's pronounced.
On the other hand, who cares?  Almost everyone else says "moog" with the
"long o" sound as in the Zeet Band record I referred to which was called
"Moogie woogie".  And I don't think they meant you to read it as "Moguey
woogie".
And when they called the session guys "moogsicians", it's obvious how they
were pronouncing it.And there's a hundred other examples.
There's always people who will fight the unwinnable battle and try to
correct the collective spelling mistakes or pronunciation mistakes and
usually I respect those people... and even wish them well in the battle as
I watch them go off to certain defeat.
I wish people would stop saying "orientate"
If I ever met Robert Moog I would try to pronounce his name correctly but
the rest of the time, I'll be dreaming of that "Cugi moogie woogie" record
Xavier never made.
or did he?

This is too big to be a thread.  More like a highway.  But you asked for it
so...  But I'm going to have to exclude some of them.
The list is in no particular order:
1 - Jimmy Smith has to be on the list but he's not at the top for me.
That's partly because I like his Blue Note records but the Verve, Oliver
Nelson-produced ones often bore me.
2- Big John Patton is at the top of my list.  It's hard to separate his
actual playing from the fact that I just like his actual records the best.
I think that has a lot to do with the fact that he writes pretty cool
original tunes.
3 - Jimmy McGriff and Jack McDuff.  I apologize to them but I almost always
think of both of them at the same time.  I think I prefer McDuff but it's
close and it might just be the records I have.
4 - Shirley Scott.  Not my favourite but she deserves to be on the list.
5 - Larry Young.  He's in a class of his own and in a strange way, I don't
even think of him when I think of organ records.
6 - On Howard Roberts' quartet records you get Paul Bryant, Henry Cain,
Burkley Kendrix, Charles Kynard, Dave Grusin and others.  And all but the
last two I've never seen anywhere else.  But the organ on those records is
always great.
... then moving out of jazz to somewhere in the middle..
7- Bill Doggett and Hank Marr.  R&B organ?  You could make a great
compilation off either of these guys.  They're very similar to me.  I'm not
sure they're great organ players but they cut some great tracks.
8 - Booker T.  I love almost all those MG's records but I'm not sure I can
separate Booker's playing from it.  Not sure he's all that great but he can
lead a band.
9 - Billy Preston.  I guess he belongs on the list somewhere.
10.  Billy Larkins.  I've got one record of his.  Very similar to Booker T.
... then going closer to exotica...
11. Lenny Dee.  His later records start to mount the schlock-scale, not
that I don't love them anyway.  But there are moments on his records where
he proves himself a great musician.  In weaker moments, I've said he's in
the same class as Jimmy Smith and on a dare, you could still get me to say so.
12. Dick Hyman.  (He's playing here in Toronto this week but I don't think
he's playing organ so I'm not going.)  His Command organ records are at the
top of the genre.  I've had a couple of his organ things on other labels
and without the push from those hyper-Enoch arrangements, I think he can be
pretty generic.
13. Sir Julian.  He might be my favourite non-jazz organ player.  He goes
from 0 to  100 mph faster than anyone I ever heard.
14.  Walter Wanderley.  Also sometimes boring but sometimes brilliant.  I
have this early 80's GNP record where he plays ARP and synth along with the
organ and it's very cool.
14.  Eddy Layton.  Better than I thought it would be.
16.  Ethel Smith.  Her records are usually too scratched-up but I guess
that's a tribute to the records.  Her "Ethel Smith's cha cha cha album" is
pretty hot but not so much for the organ playing.
17.  George Wright.  A little goes a long way but you need a little.

Pause.  I wouldn't put Earl Grant on my list.  And even though I have a few
of his records, I wouldn't put Sir Charles Thompson on any must-have list
either.

Also:
That Chris Waxman "Organized" record on Phase Four is great.
I have one record called "John Brown Junior's Go Go Music" and if that's
the organist's name, he's great.
Jackie Mittoo might have to go on the list.

Believe it or not, I left out a bunch and I'm not even going to go into all
the organ players that first introduced me to organ like Al Kooper and
Barry Goldberg and Brian Auger and Alan Price and Stevie Winwood.

Did I forget Ken Griffin?  Yeah?  Good.

Oh yeah.  Tex and Edna Boil down there at the Organ Emporium.

I picked up "Planet Of The Apes" a couple of weeks ago: this is a
really great CD, with music never before released. I think this is
Goldsmith's best work -- very atmospheric, eerie and dramatic
stuff. It's orchestral, but the arrangements are radical, avant-garde
influenced stuff. Well worth getting. Plus it also has a suite of
music from "Escape From Planet Of The Apes" (also composed by
Goldsmith) which features more "modern" instrumentation -- electric
guitar, bass, drums, sitar -- which is really pretty groovy.

I can't speak personally on "...Fox", but a friend of mine has been
searching ardenly for the original and he has good taste!  Goldsmith 's
soundtrack, however I can say that this great movie had a great soundtrack.
 Great themes, great percussion.  Buy and buy another when you wear out the
first copy!

I posted this to the list, not only because I really enjoy Jerry
Goldsmith's music (Mom has great taste in soundtracks!) but because none of
you know how my brother and I got the soundtrack, which I still have.

It's on 8-track!

I don't know about those, but I just got the Knack Ryko/MGM reissue, and that's
fantastic!

On another Soundtrack note, I got the new Peter Thomas after all the raving, and
I have to say, I'm not as impressed as I should be.  It's got most of the
important elements, but it just doesn't come together for me.  I dunno.  Just an
alternate 2 cents I guess.

Another theory - and oh how exotic it is! - forwarded by the Swiss author

Ummmm......The Byrds had quite a lot of moogs on their Notorious Byrd

earliest moog recording by a big pop/rock band as I know it.....

Also, I have a vague memory of reading about one of the first psych bands
of the sixties who went totally electronic - a band called Lothar And The
Hand People whose main instruments were the theremin and the moog - anyone
heard them?? They're supposedly in the same style as The Silver Apples -
another fantastic 'lost' group of the sixties!

However, the second Moog synthesizer in this country was played by Paul
Beaver and Micky Dolenz (that's what the back cover says!) on the Monkees'
"Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd." album, released in 1967, the
Byrds album was in 1968.  "Star Collector" and "Daily Nightly" have great
Moog (I say Mogue, the Electric Cow says Moooog, lets call the whole thing
off!) parts in them!

>Also, I have a vague memory of reading about one of the first psych bands

I have heard them.  The personnel was JOHN EMELIN vcls TOM FLYE percsn
RUSTY FORD bs AKIM KING moog, synth, gtr  PAULCONLY keyb'ds, moog.  Not
completely electronic, but pretty darned close!  Maybe I have heard the
wrong songs, however, they haven't done it for me.

For other theremin-ness, there is also "Electricity" by Captain Beefheart
and his Magic Band from "Safe As Milk".

This is on the Schoolhouse Rock Multiplication Rock album, recently re-released

Schoolhouse Rock Box Set.  It's the song about 5.

I've given Lothar & the Hand People a listen, and they
were a bit more conventional than their write-ups led
me to believe.  Far less interesting than Silver Apples,
so I passed on buying it.

Two electronics-heavy rock groups from the sixties that
I like are Fifty Foot Hose and United States of America.
The Fifty Foot Hose guy had some electronic doohickey
that he built himself, just like Simeon of Silver Apples.
I believe the albums by both these bands are now
available on CD.

After a looong dry spell, came across these:



Songs of Fire: Songs of a Lesbian Anarchist by Kathy Fire. Kathy looks
sorta like a cross between Benny Hill and Roy Orbison - oh, and she
ain't smiling. It's on the Folkways label (FS 8585, 1978). And it comes
with "descriptive notes." And they are very angry. The one I most want
to hear just as soon as I shimmer in the frontdoor.

My very first Esquivel vinyl (LP): Exploring New Sounds in Hi-Fi.
Theremin, ondioline and buuuuuuzzimba. Joy!

Arthur Lyman: Pearly Shells
Morton Subotnick: Silver Apples of the Moon; Synergy: Electronic
Realizations for Rock Orchestra on Passport Records (I assume this is an
early effort by the 70's synth. band, Synergy?... This one's a gamble. I
wanted to hear the moog version of Slaughter on 10th Avenue).

I now have extra copies of Everything You Ever Wanted to Hear on the
Moog... semi-conducted by Andrew Kazdin & Thomas Shepard & Dick Hyman at
the Lowry Organ. If anyone is interested I can get back to you regarding
condition and you can make me a reasonable offer....

1.  All I read on the back of the LP was that Dolenz played the Synthesizer.
2.  The comment was the first "big rock act" to use a Moog.  There is also
a recording of "Perfidia" from 1959, but that does not make that rock and
roll and Breuer and Perrey were not a "big rock act", either (no comment on
the quality of the album, which I have not heard).
3.  The "second Moog in the US" info I had gotten from "The Monkees Tale"
by Eric Lefcowitz.
4.  How is the "Happy Moog"

Yes, that's it. It's Larry Fast's first album -- recorded in New Jersey. Sort
of lacking in the wackier elements that many (?) of us like in synth records. I
think he was trying to be tasteful and legit or something. Still, give it a
fair shot. Y'never know.

Lothar was the name of the theremin.  Or there was no one named Lothar.
That's what they called the theremin.
And speaking of that band...
I was at a record store a few months ago and a guy came in with a box of
mostly crap records and the owner looked through them and said he didn't
want them.  So the guy asked if he could just leave them there.  And so he
did.  I looked through them and found the Lothar and the Hand People record
and made the huge mistake of telling the record store owner what it was.
He grabbed it and I never saw it again.  I could have had it for a buck but
I had to open up my mouth.  Other owners I know would have given it to me
anyway.  That's the last time I tell that guy anything.
So no I can't tell you anything else about that record.
