Subject: (exotica) Re: Easy Tempo 5 <-> 4

Easy Tempo 6 "A cinematic jazz experience" is on its way, we're drowning in
all those Italian comps!
i've heard from other people too, that they preferred vol 4, while i liked
that one the least of all; vol 4 is more funky, has less wordless vocals, i
should listen to it again to be able to say something more detailed...
vol 5 is again the same thing as volumes 1 -> 3, so this might answer your
question.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Peter Thomas FutureMuzik duplicates: no criticism!

you know, dear Ashley, i wrote my second message (telling it was no
criticism), BEFORE i even read your reaction to my first one. i'm glad i
did, i had a feeling i should have pointed out it was no *review* at all,
just a comparison of contents... someone already mentioned that there were
duplicates, and i just wondered which ones...

i won't post these kind of duplicate comparisons anymore in the future,
unless someone asks for it...

i'm also glad i received your 2 mails at the same time in my mailbox, if
not, i think i would have had a bad night sleeping...

although your reaction was maybe a bit extreme, i can understand i think,
since you're being INTO that project (with body & soul) for so long!

like many others i'm sure, i'm always surprised/impressed (and
disappointed/angry towards the major record bozo's when, and if, they're
involved) to hear how much time and sweat it costs to issue such a
compilation or reissue like "FutureMuzik"... so people like you, who keep
going deserve, gratitude and respect!

for those confused ones, who haven't heard any Peter Thomas yet, once
again: the 11 "FutureMuzik" tracks that i have heard in CD quality are
super, high-class! they're really unlike anything else, they might blow
your mind, they're a _bit_ like John Barry, but wilder, more eclectic, more
fun too! they're amongst the UN-easiest easy listening around i think. this
cd will also be a good introduction to the "Raumpatrouille" soundtrack,
you'll want that one too i'm sure.

i should also add that my impression on the 5 other tracks was based on the
realaudio fragments, with lots of drop-outs because of [burp] network
congestion...

anyway, enough flattery (in both directions ;-) so let's go on, and talk a
bit about music, like........................

I have to agree, as a North American, that this is certainly the first
thing that comes to my mind when I think of the term Exotica.  What is
interesting is that this image is very much from the past.  The original
Tiki bars and the polynesian food craze have long fizzled out from their
1960's peak, here at least, and any new revival is mostly attributed to the
rediscovery of the lounge culture and the associations and images
this evokes. Certainly anyone who has visited Hawaii in the last 10
years or so and expected polynesian paradise would be utterly shocked
at what they saw; Honolulu itself rivals New York densities in many places
and the other islands are rapidly becoming indistinguishable from south
Florida.  (I've been many times to both worlds!).  Point being, it can't be
recreated as it is a phenomenon unique to a specific time and place.

Nonetheless, it is a very useful departure for the discussion of world
music influencing popular music and in this sense Martin Denny was
somehat of  pioneer.  To this degree, I would see this as a natural
extension of discussions but of course you need interest to generate
discussion so I'd welcome more discussion on this subject.  But in
defense of the wide variety of postings, I look to this list to discuss (and
of course discover more of) all of those unclassifable records I've
discovered and many seem to fit the spirit of the discussions here.
Certainly no other list I know does it better, so...

Subject: (exotica) Billy Mure/Haggis Baggis

I've recently picked up a BM single, Haggis Baggis being the A-side (I
think). It is a strange, cartoonish rock and roll number, with the
"singer" chanting (in a deep, croaking voice)"Haggis Baggis" to the
accompaniment of the supersonic guitar. The song is listed as the
soundtrack to a TV (Game?)show of the same name. Anyone know anything
about this program? Is this single featured on lp release? Although the
only other BM I've heard is the Hawaiian split and Fireworks, it seems
the man can do no wrong.

Every man can do wrong.
I'm not saying it's bad but if you love the Billy Mure that you've heard -
and I love his record called "Around the world in Percussion", then you're
probably going to be disappointed by Billy Mure "Plays the songs of Hank
Williams".  It's not horrible but it's closer to the 50 guitars of Tommy
Garrett than you could ever imagine Billy getting.

Yes, it is intriguing - if you like his other stuff, you should like
this. (although this track in particular is different from the rest of
the CD).  There is a wild toy instrument and brass band version of
"Paint It Black", as well.  As on all Comelade CDs, quirkiness and toy
instruments abound.  And, likewise, as most of his other CDs, it's on
Les disques du soleil et de l'acier, from France (DSA 54042)and was
released in 1996.  My personal Comelade favourites, which I would
recommend to anyone wanting to know more about him, are El Primitivismo
on G3G/DSA, 1988 (CDSA 54011/G3PC3),Ragazzin' The Blues on Delabel/DSA,
1991 (DE 871442), and of course, Haikus de Pianos - this one is lots of
very short tracks, mostly cover versions of songs including Smoke on the
Water, Egyptian Reggae, and 96 Tears, played on toy piano.(this was
originally released on Eva, but I believe it's been reissued by
DSA)1992.  These are all worth a listen.

no one can seem to find out anything on. Some titles have a Female Voice
and 1 has Chaino and his "mate" sounding like they are having some SERIOUS
SEX, BUT they are running from the great CAT in the Jungle (21), called
Jungle Chase.

YEAH RIGHT!

There is some "floating" between speakers on the Stereo tracks which is
also tremendously cool.

Sometimes he played 6 or 7 instruments at the same time with blinding speed
and dexterity.

This is Chaino; The Percussive Genius of Africa.

hi bobby

i *believe* this track is on the mix CD 'Journeys By DJ - Gille Peterson
and Norman Jay' (label is JDJ/V2)- last track on the Gilles Peterson CD ...
this is a great compilation by the way - the second track on the Gilles mix
is beautiful: "What's Wrong With Groovin'" by Letta Mbulu (from memory). I
think it'd be of interest to people here ... there's also the fantastic 4
Hero mix of Nu Yorican Soul's 'Black Gold....' which actually samples the
Rotary Connection original rather than the Nu Yorican Soul cover ...

for original vinyl copies of the Rotary Connection thing, try shops
specialising in soul/funk - maybe use the motion specialist record shop
finder at http://www.state51.co.uk/motion/ .... i guess it'd be pretty
expensive after the success of the Nu Yorican/4 Hero thing, but that was a
few months ago ...

hope this helps ...

All I can tell you is that Kilgore Trout is a character in several Kurt
Vonnegut novels... "Breakfast of Champions" comes immediately to mind.
Kilgore is a science fiction writer who has a hard time getting published,
so his stories often end up in pornographic magazines, I seem to recall.

Thanks for the memory...

Someone has clearly adopted this pseudonym for him/herself.

well, i'm a PC guy. I know there's stuff for the Mac, but i don't really
know anything by name that i can recommend.

For the PC there are several options. Sound Forge has a De-Clicking
plug-in which works for digital clicks as well as vinyl. Wavelab also
has a similar plugin, which to my ears sounds much better than the SF
one, even though i like SF infinitely better than Wavelab. In fact, the
declicker in Wavelab is the only thing i use Wavelab for! Then there's
Dart Pro by Tracer Tech, which is a dedicated Vinyl Restoration app.
This purportedly is capable of the best results, but i've never had any
luck with it because the damn user interface is too clunky. It takes
forever to adjust settings and preview things. Both the SF and WL
plugins are direct-x, which means they have real-time, tweakable
previewing. That, for me, is the most important thing. Apart from these,
there's one other program that i can't remember the name of right now
but it's not very good so don't bother! Oh wait! Adaptec EZCD Creator
has a vinyl restoration section....... i haven't tried it, but i doubt
very heavily that it's any good...

>
> Are there downsides?  Thanks.

All of these have their negative side effects. You'll never really get a
completely perfect restoration. The best you can do is strive to
minimize the pops and clicks. The more processing you apply, the more
obvious the digital artifacts are. But as i said, in my opinion the
Wavelab plugin is the most effective and easiest to use.

What's weird is that Jim made a brief and unsuccessful attempt to crossover

Kimberley is this little town in the desert where diamonds were found in
the previous century - it's famous for "Kimberley se Gat" (Kimberley's big
hole) - a large hole in the ground - I never considered it anything more
than dusty but it REALLY IS WESTERN.
This is a revelation.
Of interest: There's a new South African artist called "Zulu Cowboy" who is
black, and making high country with twangs of Kwela here and there.  An
exotic match if I ever heard one.
Jim was VERY big here, which may explain the movie?

Both Niel's Diamonds (Niel Diamond covers) and Hugo in Wonderland (Stevie
Wonder covers) were done with his son John.  I enjoy them very much, with
John's electronics being very prominent on both.  It's the same fusion of
Rock/Moog that makes me enjoy Keating's Space Experience.

I'd love to hear the Elton John one.  What year was it recorded?  He died
of emphysema shortly after the Wonderland album, I think.

If you can't find it in local stores, I know CDNow carries it.  As probably do
most of the other on-line music stores.

Unlike "Space Patrol", "Jerry (Peter) Cotton" and some of the other somewhat
harder-to-find releases, this should be an easy score at...your Tower store!

call their 800 number, visit their site or go to the store nearest you.

easy as pie.

Actually, I've heard some of the Wonder covers and I think it's not bad, but
I bought the Elton John one and it did nothing for me. I'd sell it, no
problem. I really don't think it's as good as the Wonder one.

Anyone else with comments?

I'm playing it right now to remind myself why I didn't like it.  I was
making tapes with lots of moog and everytime I'd put one of these songs on,
I'd take it off part way through.  It's not that it's bad exactly.  I guess
it's that other Montenegro records with moog on them have a kind of
"naivete" (?) or something.
This resembles some mild mid-70's fusion record more than anything else.
It's got Larry Carlton and a couple of other fusion criminals and when the
liner notes refer to "John - not yet out of his teens", I just think "Oh
Hugo you let your son ruin your music".  The kid's listening to all these
wankathon fusion records and his dad is a musical genius and he goes "Hey
dad, you should really listen to this stuff" and next thing you know,
another guy's trying to UPDATE his sound and losing everything that made
him interesting in the process.
I'm going on about this I guess because this record reminds me that it's
not that I like any record with moog on it.  I lost sight of that in this
new moog record pursuit.  I forgot all those crappy moog solos that came
out after that Edgar Winter thing when he's playing that thing slung around
his neck like a guitar and showing that guitar players aren't the only ones
that can play a boring solo.

>I'd love to hear the Elton John one.  What year was it recorded?  He died
>of emphysema shortly after the Wonderland album, I think.

This came out in 1975.   By the way, I was excited by the presence of James
Jamerson on bass but I guess I shouldn't have been.

Subject: (exotica) Exotica LPs for sale?

I apologize in advance if this is inappropriate, but I thought this might
interest some of you vinyl hounds.

Over the weekend, I was out of town in Homer, Alaska and wandered into a
thrift store. They had an amazingly small selection of records there, but I
saw some that might have "exotica value", so I thought, "what the hell" and
bought them.

Personally, I don't collect vinyl, but I thought they might be of value to
some of you folks. I figured there may be a few goodies in Homer that
haven't been "discovered" by the exotica crowd yet.

Here they are:

>1. Mitch Miller and the Gang: "Sing Along With Mitch" (Columbia CL1160)
>2. Jesse Crawford: "The Poet Of the Organ" (Design DLP 230)
>3. (Unknown) : "Lure of Hawaii" (Sutton 220)
>4. Ferrante & Teicher: "Golden Piano Hits" (United Artists 6269)
>5. Bert Kaempfert: "The Magic Music of Far Away Places" (Decca DL4616)
>6. Morton Gould & His Orchestra: "Love Walked In" (RCA LSC2633)
>7. Broadway Pops Orch: "Strings Around the World Vol. 4" (Omega OSL 61)

All albums seem to be in pretty good condition (though the sleeves leave
something to be desired in some cases). Song listings are available on
request.

Haven't listened to them yet, as I don't have a record player. (But a
friend does.)

Email me privately at <<[e-mail]>> if you're interested. Make me
an offer.

I didn't buy it because it was $5 and that's too much for a record I don't
want but it made me thought of you guys.
Don't know the exact title but it was "Marlene Dietrich singing in German
with the Burt Bacharach Orchestra".  I guess maybe Burt decided not to show
up personally for this date for fear his ancestors might role over in their
graves.
