You should have picked this one up - it's really good, if it's the live
one - Wiedersehen Mit Marlene.  Even if it isn't, it's probably worth
getting, certainly for $5. (although if you don't really like the stuff,
I guess even $5 is too much)

Any local retail store worth ANYTHING should be able to *special order*
it for you. (Gadzooks, it seems like I have to special order *most* CDs I
buy any more - I can't imagine restricting myself to what I can find on
store shelves). No store can carry *everything* that's in print, and
unfortunately these stores are probably more concerned about moving
copies of Van Halen 3 so they might not bother taking the time to take a
chance on some weird German composer they've never heard of.

Some stores may ask for a deposit on a special order, which I think is
reasonable. I know a hellish mall chain or two also actually charges a
FEE for special orders. If a store gives you that kinda fee garbage,
laugh maniacally and mock them. Some major chains like Best Buy don't do
special orders at all.

Oh it's just my little joke about a Jewish boy conducting a woman singing
German songs which may in fact be decadent songs and altogether different
than other songs sung in German but when you have people around you
spitting on BMW's, you don't start splitting hairs.  And given that the
record might have been made 30 years ago when memories were fresher, I
thought the issue might have occurred to Burt.
Does that explain it sufficiently?  It's just this little chip that was put
in me and forces me to make a little joke whenever Germans and Jews are
shoved up against each other in any context.
But usually I only make my little jokes among people who know that I can't
help it and I don't really mean anything... so I guess I'll suppress it now.

I had thought that Dietrich fled Germany because she couldn't stand the
scumbag Nazis. So I fail to see any problem with Burt conducting.

I'm not sure if this is the same LP, but I have one from 1964 on the
British EMI label titled, "Die neue Marlene," that is a gem.  Marlene sings
such contemprorary hits as "Puff, the Magic Dragon," and "Blowin' in the
Wind"--in German.  The arrangements certainly sound like Bachrach, and
Marlene puts her trademark "world-weary" stamp on even the most upbeat
tunes.  A cut above your average "golden throat" vinyl.

The song "Haggis Baggis" is on the fabulous Mure LP _Supersonics in Flight_
(I think his second release on RCA Victor). But on the LP it's an
instumental--no chanting, croaky or otherwise. . . Sounds like a find to me!

I've often wondered what the story was with Mure's career--how was it that
he ended up featured on  both A-list RCA albums and those sub-grade-Z
releases on Strand. . . If anyone could find all the masters, he really
deserves a serious CD reissue.

It's just that Marlene Dietrich was famous for working with the Allies,
not the Germans, during WWII despite being the most German of women. Her
singing Lili Marlene to our boys was pretty moving and probably
demoralizing to the Germans.<br>

As for her singing, she's got no voice and yet is a great vocalist.<br>

</excerpt>I didn't believe that was the reason, okay?  It's just that when you see
one of those records and it says "Burt Bacharach Orchestra" instead of
"Burt AND his orchestra", I naturally start to wonder if Burt himself was
on the record or not and then I wonder if not, why not?  And then that
thing jumps into my head.  It's a knee jerk reaction that comes from old
old training.

And I thought that others with similar training might have the same
reaction so I just threw it in. And they'd think "yeah, someone else
thought that too".

And chuckle at that training we got.

It's like a joke but not one of those really funny jokes.  More one of
those "nod of recognition" jokes.

But if you didn't have that training, you wouldn't get it.

Hey that's the chance you take when you tell a joke.

There are no pictures of them together on the record, no pictures of him
at all.

And I was reacting mostly to the fact that the songs were SUNG IN GERMAN,
not the fact that it was Marlene Dietrich.

It's interesting if in fact she did discover him but I think they make a
strange pair anyway.  Not for any Nazi or anti-Nazi reasons.

I also would be struck by a record of the Hollyridge strings backing up
Yma Sumac.  Or Esquivel and Lulu.

Or Leni Riefenstahl directing a Leonard Cohen video.  But I think it
would be a very hot video, if she did.

Subject: (exotica) Kui Lee

I just thrifted a copy of Jack de Mello plays the music of Kui Lee (on Music
of Polynesia records).

From the notes I gather this is orchestral, brass orchestra and vocal group
settings of Kui Lee's songs.

So, here's my question: Who *is/was* Kui Lee?? The notes are written as if
he was Dylan, as if everyone would know who he is/was. Can anyone fill me in?

Here's two (of many) paragraphs from the liners:
 Kui writes today's music -- about today's Hawaii. And when the history of
the music of the Islands is written about this era, it will be one man's
music that will have changed the tired image of whispering palm trees,
moonlit nights, beautiful beaches, and hula girls -- and changed it for the
better. Hawaii is really not like that, and Kui's honest music is about
Hawaii as it really is today.

 Sure, there are beach boys and hula girls and palm trees -- and like that
- -- and sure, Kui writes about 'em as they are today. But he also writes
about the new Hawaii -- about the new wave of young people of the Islands.
Being one of them, he understands them, he expresses their hopes and
thoughts, their fears, their desires, their contentments, their anxieties,
and their love.


Oy,
Lou

The triple box set or a single LP? The liner notes on the box set tells his
whole life story. I'll have to get back on that as I dont have it at my
office. The 3rd lp in the set is incredible especially "Waikiki at
Midnight"! I had one of Kui's own LPs once, title eluds me now,  but it was
pretty forgetable except for the narrated introduction.

There's a triple box of this stuff?!? I found the single LP, which,
unfortunately, doesn't have your pick hit "Waikiki at Midnight."

The song titles on this one are:
I'll Remember You / One Paddle, Two Paddle / All I Want To Do / The Days Of
My Youth / Ain't No Big Thing / Go To Him / Lahainaluna / Rain Rain Go Away
/ Kanaka Pete / She's Gone Again / Going Home / No Other Song

She did in fact discover him. It mentions this in the liner notes on his
first A&M solo album.

There is some excellent footage of them together on the exemplary Bacharach
documentary the BBC made last year (which has been shown in the U.S., and
probably elsewhere, too). This film also relates the tale of her
discovering him.

I would surmise the reasons that there are no photos of him on the Dietrich
album(s) is because :
A) he was unknown at the time
B) the orchestra leader was rarely if ever pictured on the LP covers of the
time  (unless it was his own album........and even then, not always. For
example, Esquivel's photo does not show up on an album jacket until LP #4,
"Exploring New Sounds.......")

What was Burt Bacharach doing when Marlene discovered him?  Lurking outside
her window?  Cleaning her pool?  She brought him inside; he looked shyly at
her piano.  "Do you play?" she asked him.  The rest is history?

I guess I don't have his first album.  On the back of "Reach out" it does
say that Marlene doted on him as an arranger and adored him as a man.
But I guess she didn't dote on him as a man.

Anyway, learned something new.  Just looked at that Dietrich record and
thought "Bacharach and Dietrich?  What are you going to tell me next?  Phil
Spector produced Leonard Cohen? Yeah right."

>>INTERVIEW:  Iara Lee's "Modulations" moves to Gen Art
by Tim LaTorre/indieWIRE

In the world of documentary features, Iara Lee's films stand out for their
vibrant and timely subjects, focusing mainly on the influence of technology
on present and future lifestyles. Her 1996 debut, "Synthetic Pleasures,"
uncovered our growing fascination with everything artificial--from giant
indoor beaches to the development of artificial intelligence. Her new film,
"Modulations," follows the evolution of
electronic music in the 20th century, using today's dance scene as a
springboard to delve into the origins of the art form with musicians,
theorists, technicians, and scientists as diverse as John Cage and Karlheinz
Stockhausen to modern media personalities like Prodigy, Moby and Orbital.
After debuting in the documentary competition at this year's Sundance Film
Festival, "Modulations," continues its ambassadorship of 'electronica' at
the Gen Art Film Festival tonight in New York.

He was sneaking a cigarette in the back of Tin Pan Alley; she asked him for
a match, and he said "Me and you, baby".

.........he had worked as an arranger/conductor for a few years with a
number of vocalists (among them, Vic Damone) and was beginning to have some
success as a songwriter, but Dietrich gave him international recognition.
"Baby It's You" became a massive hit toward the end of his tenure with her.

uh, well........alright, so Phil locked Cohen out of the studio midway
through production, but still technically.........

    i've had a chance to listen to that one, but to me it sounded
    like 99% techno + 1 % "exotic"... but i have to add that i rather
    hate techno and all that modern bonkaboonkabook stuff ;-)

Subject: (exotica) REVIEW> Prozak For Lovers

This review has been added to my web site...........


"Prozak For Lovers"



REVIEW:

Nine rock/pop classics and one country song are given a cool, sedated,
early 60's EZ treatment on this highly recommended CD. You'll hear two soft
voices (Bruce Lash & Maura Corey), reminding me a bit of Francis Lai, very
subtly accompanied by acoustic guitar, conga, raspe, flute, bass, vibes and
organ, giving the sound a slight Brazilian touch. The atmosphere is
intimate, relaxed, and often sexy (especially Maura Corey solo in "Rebel
rebel"... yummy!)

This is not a parody project, or a tongue-in-cheek camp album, like the
groovy Mike Flowers Pops, or the over-the-top cavalcade of cliches in Jaymz
Bee's multi-talented "Cocktail shakin' and stirred". No, this is fine,
tasteful, excellent musicianship, with love and respect for the originals
AND the resulting easy listening cover versions. Listen to representative
RealAudio fragments at "http://home.att.net/~bblash/page6.html".




TRACKS:

 1. Proud Mary
 2. Pump It Up
 3. Aqualung
 4. Love will tear us apart
 5. (Don't Fear) the Reaper
 6. Message of love
 7. I wanna be sedated
 8. London Calling
 9. Rebel rebel
10. Fulsom Prison blues (live)

Subject: (exotica) reference books

We talk mostly about records here on the group, but I'm wondering what
reference books y'all keep on your bookshelf.

I suppose most of us have and endorse Joseph Lanza's Elevator Music and both
volumes of Re/Search's Incredibly Strange Music.

Some other books on my shelves are:
The Catalog of Cool, ed. by Gene Sculatti (1982)
Goldmine's Celebrity Vocals by Ron Lofman (1994)
Goldmine's Comedy Record Price Guide by Ronald L. Smith (1996)
Hi-Fi's & Hi-Balls by Steven Guarnaccia & Bob Sloan (1997)
Hollywood Hi-Fi by those 2 guys whose names I can't remember
Ocean of Sound by David Toop (1995)
Soundtrack: The Music Of The Movies by Mark Evans (1979)
Thrift Score by Al Hoff, Girl Reporter (1997)
TV's Biggest Hits by Jon Burlingame (1996)
Ultra Lounge by Dylan Jones (1997) - yeah i what a rip off this one is...

And magazines including:
Cannot Become Obsolete, Cool & Strange Music!, Exotica/Etc., Thrift Score
and Tiki News.

So, what other publications do y'all find essential?

Subject: (exotica) How to play 78's?

Actually, I'd like to know how to *tape* 78 RPM records. I have an old
Zenith radio/record player combo that I can use to listen to 78's, but I'd
like to find a way to get those oldies on tape.

Someone told me they had purchased a 6-speed turntable for playing 78's,
but the sound left much to be desired.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Subject: (exotica) Cocktail 2000

Somebody sent me a copy of "Cocktail 2000" (Music for Leisure CD 01)
by the Lance Gambit Trio.  It's got loungey versions of tunes by
Oasis, Spice Girls, Dodgy, Gina G., Pulp and others.  Piano, bass,
drums, congas, vibes, some cool wordless vocals.

The liner notes and the packaging make it sound like a big put-on,
complete with photos of Lance's "other" albums,  including "Cocktail
Magic", "Cocktail Party", etc.   I don't usually care much for
these Loungeapalooza  stunts, but I have to admit I kinda like this
one!

Apparently it was released in the UK back in November, and it
sounds like a stateside release is imminent.  Has this been mentioned
before?  Anybody ever heard of this?  What's the deal?

"The Single Eye" can be heard every Sunday at 4pm on CKUT 90.3 FM in
Montreal, Canada, and is hosted by Brian and Cheryl. Comments &
questions welcome.  Soon to come - RealAudio!

May 3 - Space Music For The Uninitiated

Joe Meek:  I Hear A New World, Orbit Around The Moon  "I Hear A New
World"  (The man was truly a visionary - even today, this music is ahead
of its time.)

Howie B.:  Shag  "Music For Babies"  (Newer spacey stuff)

Lucia Pamela:  Moontown, Walking On The Moon  "Into Outer Space With
Lucia Pamela"  (Lucia Pamela claims to have recorded this one on the
moon - need we say more?)

Skylab:  Seashell  "Skylab #1" (More newer spacey stuff)

The Ventures:  Fear, The Twilight Zone  "Ventures In Space"  (Renditions
as only The Ventures can do them)

Oval:  Do While  "Diskont"  (You may have noticed a pattern here -
1960's ideas of space music, juxtaposed with 1990's ideas of the same -
and what a difference!)

Perrey And Kingsley:  Spooks In Space, Jungle Blues From Jupiter  "The
Essential Perrey And Kingsley"  (What space music show would be complete
without Perrey and Kingsley?  30 years later, these quirky pieces are
still fun to listen to)

L@N:  L@N L-10  "L@N"  (From Germany's A-Musik)

101 Strings:  Flameout, Astral Freakout  "Astral Sounds From Beyond The
Year 2000"  (Speaking of being in space...)
