Remember it?  I think I've *got* it.  Picked it up in a thrift,
along with zillions of other Buddha singles.  I'll have to dig

Nicola Conte runs the Schema label itself. A number of the artists on the Jet Sounds album are professional jazz artists that work on other projects outside of Schema, and some on Schema and/or Fez label (Stefania Di Pierro is in Intensive Jazz Sextet, as well as more, say, upscale type jazz acts in Italy for example). That's the paltry page for Schema:

You could email Nicola. He's a nice guy, and his English is okay.

I thought those "Ooohs" were coming from kids. I'd also been trying to figure out of the "Hey!" came from the Art of Noise song "Close to the Edit" but I don't have a copy at the moment to compare it to. I'm pretty sure that the horns come from the The Spy With a Cold Nose soundtrack by Riz Ortolani.

Wow, you almost never hear mention of Lora Logic. Her "Beat Rhythm News"
almost made my marathon 'key albums' list. Also have some cool 7-inchers

Did she ever get back to music or is she still with the Hare Krishnas?

It is a shame that Lora Logic's wonderfully eccentric music has all but been
forgotten. The tune "Stereo" was on the B-side of the "Wonderful Offer" 12"
which was released in 1981. I believe there was a brief X-Ray Spex reunion
where she toured and recorded some new material, but I'm afraid I don't have
any further info.

When I recently bought a CD-R burner, one of my first projects was to create
an Essential Logic cd from the singles in my collection. Unfortunately I
don't have her LPs.

Hi, I just got a copy of "Eighteenth Street Lounge, Jet Society"  which has
the Bossa per due by Conte on it, and I agree, this is some of the best
stuff I've heard in a long time. Check out Dusty Grooves-do a search under

TUESDAY JULY 17 2001   ---  The Times (London)
James Bernard
Composer who wrote scores for Hammer horror films and a song cycle for Peter
Pears

FOR NEARLY 40 years James Bernard was the composer of the spine-chilling
scores for the Hammer series of horror films that captivated international
audiences and usually starred Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. In films
such as Dracula (1958) and The Devil Rides Out (1968) he made full use of
strings and percussion in his lavish scores, many of which were performed by
the orchestra of the Royal Opera House. After co-writing the screenplay for
Seven Days to Noon, he became one of the very few composers to win an
Academy Award for something other than music.
Born in India into a military family (his father was in the Indian Army),
James Bernard and his brother Bill were sent to England and brought up with
his mother=92s parents in Gloucestershire because the Indian climate was
considered too harsh. At the age of six he was playing the piano, and at
seven he developed a love of opera through listening to gramophone records.
Educated at Wellington College, where a fellow pupil was Christopher Lee,
Bernard was greatly encouraged in music and the arts. At 17 he met his hero,
the composer Benjamin Britten, who visited the school with the tenor Peter
Pears, and Bernard showed him a score that he had written for an inter-house
music competition. Impressed, Britten made a few adjustments and signed it
=93Composed by James Bernard. Edited by Benjamin Britten.=94

Bernard kept in touch with Britten while serving in the RAF for three years
and Britten encouraged him to learn the rules of composing. After being
demobilised Bernard studied with Herbert Howells at the Royal College of
Music, graduating in 1949. In 1950 Britten approached him to copy out the
vocal score of his opera Billy Budd for his publishers, Boosey & Hawkes,
which he did while staying with the composer at Aldeburgh. He attended the
opening night in the company of Britten=92s housekeeper and the librettist=
 E.
M. Forster. Britten encouraged him to become a full-time composer. The same
year a close friend, Paul Dehn, a successful screenwriter, asked Bernard to
collaborate on the screenplay of Seven Days to Noon, a persuasively
understated suspense piece about a professor engaged in atomic research who
threatens to blow up London. The script won an Academy Award for best motion
picture story. Dehn also wrote radio plays and persuaded Val Gielgud, then
head of BBC radio drama, to commission Bernard to write music for the
department. His first score was for Patric Dickinson=92s play The Death of
Hector (1954) which was followed by several others. The same year he wrote
the score for The Duchess of Malfi, which he described as =93a kind of=
 horror
story=94. The music was conducted by John Hollingsworth, who had just become
music director for Hammer Films.

In 1955 Hollingsworth invited Bernard to step into the breach caused by a
composer=92s illness. For a fee of =A3100 he wrote the first of his many=
 Hammer
scores, the groundbreaking Quatermass Experiment. For his first three films
he was entrusted only with percussion and strings. By the time The Curse of
Frankenstein came along in 1957, he was granted a full orchestra.

There followed numerous films including Dracula (1958), The Hound of the
Baskervilles (1959), The Kiss of the Vampire (1964), She (1965), The Devil
Rides Out (1968) and Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974). He
orchestrated all his Hammer compositions but commented: =93I was lucky if I
got four weeks to compose a score. It was real torture. I=92m not generally=
 a
quick composer. I had to discipline myself.=94

Occasionally Bernard attempted to break out of his typecast role. He tried
his hand at concert music, his output including a song cycle for Peter Pears
that was performed at the Wigmore Hall. The Times gave an enthusiastic
review, The Daily Telegraph was withering. At the same time as he was
composing the music for The Devil Rides Out, he was working on a new
Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis for Chichester Cathedral. =93It=92s rather
schizophrenic,=94 he noted. =93In one half of my mind I=92m thinking of the
Magnificat, in the other half of orgies and black masses.=94

Feeling that by 1974 his career had reached something of a plateau, he
fulfilled a long-held ambition to move to Jamaica, and stayed there for a
decade, returning to this country only after the death of his partner.

Bernard always felt that his music for Hammer was considered rather lowbrow
by music critics, but was quick to point out that the series earned him a
considerable amount in royalties. In later years his work, along with the
music of other screen composers, was re-evaluated as film music increasingly
became recognised as an art form in its own right. He became something of a
cult figure among younger musicians and in 1997 he wrote the acclaimed score
for the Channel 4 restoration of F. W. Murnau=92s 1921 classic Nosferatu.=
 His
last work was the score for Universal
Horror (1998), Kevin Brownlow=92s documentary of Universal Studios=92 horror
films of the 1930s and 1940s.

Summing up his career recently he said: =93I=92ve always considered myself
typecast but I=92m not complaining. I became known as the horror composer,=
 but
whenever there was a bit of romance in one of the Hammer films I seized on
it.=94

James Bernard, composer and screenwriter, was born on September 20, 1925. He
died in London on July 12, 2001, aged 75.

July 17, 2001  --  L.A. Times
Ted Berman; Animator and Director of Disney=20
Classics
MYRNA OLIVER, TIMES STAFF WRITER

Ted Berman, animator and director of Disney=20
cartoons ranging from the classics "Bambi" and=20
"Fantasia" to the highly regarded "The Black=20
Cauldron," has died at the age of 81.

Berman, also a fine arts painter, died Sunday in Los=20
Angeles, said his daughter, Cathy Nourafshan.

Born in the Boyle Heights section of East Los=20
Angeles, Berman wanted to draw from the time he=20
was a child, entering--and winning--various=20
newspaper competitions. He graduated from
Roosevelt High and went on to the Chouinard Art=20
Institute, forerunner of the California Institute of the
Arts in Valencia. Berman landed a job in Disney's=20
animation department in 1940, and remained with the=20
studio for 45 years.

Initially a character animator, Berman worked on the=20
beloved deer "Bambi," characters in "Alice in=20
Wonderland" and the visual-musical masterpiece=20
"Fantasia," as well as "Lady and the Tramp," "Peter=20
Pan," "Mary Poppins" and "101 Dalmatians."

Berman took special pride in working on four films up=20
for Academy Awards--"Paul Bunyan," which was=20
nominated in 1958; "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger=20
Too," nominated in 1974; "It's Tough to Be a Bird,"
 named the Best Short Film in 1969; and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," which=20
won=20
for Best Visual Effects=20
in 1972.

The animator was also a key team member in=20
creating the Disney television series, "The Wonderful=20
World of Color" and "The Mickey Mouse Club."

Later in his career, Berman moved into writing and=20
directing the animation films.

Berman was also involved in crafting the screenplays=20
of Disney feature films, including "The Rescuers" in=20
1977, "The Fox and the Hound" in 1981 and "The=20
Black Cauldron" in 1985.


"It had the longest gestation period of any animal=20
alive," Berman said with a laugh in 1985, when "The=20
Black Cauldron," which he co-directed with Richard Rich, was finally=20
released.

Disney had set the film in motion a dozen years=20
earlier by buying the rights to Lloyd Alexander's=20
Newbery Award-winning books "Chronicles of=20
Prydain." Financing--a whopping $25 million for what=20
was at the time the most expensive animated film in=20
history--took another six years. The project was=20
shelved a couple of times and then in production for=20
an arduous five years.

"Disney animation has always been special, and it=20
had to be special again," Berman said, explaining that=20
very few computer graphics were used in the film that=20
would crown his Disney career.

"Our animators knew that they might never be able to=20
work on this kind of film again," said the veteran=20
Berman, who trained youngsters fresh out of art=20
school to handle Disney animation the old-fashioned=20
way.

The finished feature encompassed about 2,519,200=20
drawings, 400 gallons of paint, 15,000 pencils, 300=20
erasers, 34 miles of film stock and more than a million=20
hours of labor.

"Our marching orders were to expand beyond our=20
young audience without losing it," Berman said at the=20
film's release. "It's got a PG rating, and no pink=20
bunnies or butterflies."

After his retirement from Disney, Berman returned to=20
painting. His still-life canvases and plein-air=20
landscapes hang in several private collections.

From www.joanbaez.com:

Margarita Mimi Baez Fari=F1a
1945-2001

It is with much sadness that we share the news that Joan's sister Mimi
Fari=F1a has lost her long, courageous battle with cancer. Mimi died in
the early morning on July 18, 2001, at her home in Mill Valley,
California, surrounded and supported by the love of those closest to
her.

Mimi Fari=F1a was an amazing woman who was truly a joy and an inspiration
to so many people. An accomplished musician, loyal fans have enjoyed her
music for decades, and her 25 years of work with Bread & Roses has
deservedly earned her accolades and admiration.

Mimi was also a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a niece, a
colleague, a dear friend, and a loving partner. Please keep all of those
who loved her in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

(Memorial donations in Mimi's honor can be made to Bread & Roses)

Subject: (exotica)Korla Pandit

Hello,

Can anybody here recommend any CDs by Korla Pandit? I just bought
æExotica 2000Æ, which IÆm not desperately impressed with û itÆs okay
but, from what IÆve read about the man, I was expecting something more.
Is æExotica 2000Æ as good as he gets? ItÆs rather a short album, too û 9
tracks, including a æbonusÆ live cut, totalling 24.52.
Another recent purchase with a short running time is 101 Strings û Astro
Sounds. Even with 3 bonus tracks it only lasts 36.26. ThatÆs a pretty
groovy album, though.
Anyway, any advice on Pandit will be greatly appreciated.

Rock Wilson

Not really that unlikely. Tipsy has a track on it too.

Wow, that's bizarre. I drove past it at least six times last week and never even saw
it. I must've been too busy playing Dodge 'em Cars with the usual crowd of
non-drivers clogging up El Camino...

Btw, anyone on the list traveling to the Bay Area should definitely check out the
Stanford Theatre on University Ave. in Palo Alto. It's a beautifully restored movie
palace complete with a hydraulic riser that lifts a live organ player up in front of
the stage during intermission to perform a cheesy musical interlude on the theater's
classic Wurlitzer organ. Last week, the Stanford was running a Jack Lemmon tribute
that included one of my favorite films, "The Apartment". Last year I saw a newly
restored print of "Jason and the Argonauts" which brought tears to my eyes, it was
that beautiful.

There were three that I know of.  The one you mentioned, another called
"Odyssey" and a third, "Remembering Korla Pandit".  Isn't that Exotica 2000
newer material?

Odyssey, I recall are his first couple of albums on Fantasy, "Plays Music Of
The Exotic East" and "Latin Holiday".

Remembering Korla Pandit can be ordered here:

http://www.korlapandit.com/

and click on the "collectibles" link.

Regarding the music of Korla Pandit, you may be in for a letdown.  It's
pretty low-key, sometimes funeral like.

To fully appreciate Korla Pandit, you must - I repeat MUST view video
footage of his 1950's television shows.  If you have not seen his shows,
your draw will drop, you will be blown away!!!

Thankfully, videos are available here:

well, yes, apparently they are legal (except that -from what I've heard-
the saite is not paying performance royalties to SIAE... err). They also
had a link to buy the actual Irma cds from Zivago.com but Zivago was shut
down recently.

Sorry to come to this discussion late, but I saw this post and couldn't let

I couldn't agree more.  I think the "King Kong Variations" (that's the title
isn't it?  It's been a while) stayed on my turntable for weeks on end.

>
> The Sex Pistols - "Anarchy In The UK"
> Punk time.
> Richard Hell & The Voidoids - "Blank Generation"

I'll never forget the news hysteria that accompanied the Sex Pistols' first
US tour.  I remember sitting at the breakfast table watching the Today Show
spread fear of the latest British invasion.  To them it was just a bunch of
noise, but to me it was just what I wanted.  Richard Hell didn't quite have
the same effect, but Blank Generation was a great album.

A fantastic album.  And at the time the album came out, "political
correctness" was not a phrase that people were using--nor had it yet become
"correct," as far as I recall.  I just thought of it as out-and-out
Marxist/Maoist.  I've got several of their EP's and other albums as well
("Solid Gold" is a great one), which have the inimitable "Armalite Rifle"
and "History's Bunk" on them.  It's too bad they made the transition to the
drum machine (although "I Love a Man in a Uniform" is a catchy tune).

> Esquivel - "Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music"

Esquivel is so central the genre that I have the feeling he lurks in the
background of all of our discussions, even when he's not mentioned.  There's
no question but that my first exposure to Esquivel (which was "Music for a
Sparkling Planet") was pivotal for me.

But if I can go back to the questions that prompted the whole discussion:

First album bought-- Ohio Players, Fire.  It had to be the naked woman
wrapped in a fire hose.

Earliest vinyl memories--Mason Williams Phonograph Record.  I still love
this album.  I've never seen other albums by him, although I know they
exist.
    Also the Columbia Records version of Saint-Seans, Carnival of the
Animals, narrated by Leonard Bernstein, with a Young Person's Guide to the
Orchestra on the other side.
    I played both of these on a record player that was only slightly better
than a "Close 'N Play," but I've managed to find clean copies in recent
years to help keep those childhood memories alive.
We also had several Jonathan Winters albums that I would love to be able to
find in good condition.

One other "key" record--
Samba Mapangala, Virunga Volcano
    My introduction to Afropop, and still one of my favorites in that genre.
I find myself drifting back that way now and then.  The continued
availability of a lot of Afropop on Napster has helped.
Thomas Mapfumo, Chamunorwa, has to be a close second there.

Wow Paul

This Moonflight 45 sounds incredible!  I would like to say I have
seen Paul dj at a party and I have heard a lot of his mixes and
Paul you are one of the best djs making music today! Paul's mixes
have a feel that is way way out there with all kinds of styles of
music flowing together in one big mysterious sound!

I have got to hear this cool 45!

Easy listening in the Big Easy

Thanks m.ace, for the first article I've seen that actually
*explains* how this malarkey is supposed to work.

This sounds utterly crackable to me--though perhaps a bit of a pain.
. . someone might need to hack the computer's CD driver, so it
ignores failed error-corrections instead of aborting. But some teen
should do that in about an afternoon. . . then, people like me with
too much time on their hands can import the dirty music data into
their audio waveform editors, and manually interpolate over the
"grossly erroneous values" just as we already do with clicks from
vinyl. . .

cheers,
