                                            The Roots
of Exotica:

Where did it come from, and where does it take us?
From the symphonies of Albert Ketelby, to the frog
croaks and
bird calls of Martin Denny, Exotica takes us to those
sunshine locales where palm trees sway and time stands
still.

Les Baxter founded the modern school, and a variety of
ensembles parlayed the mysterious sound into the

the 4th side of this double album has some tracks with King Kong in the title. But maybe you refer to the Uncle Meat Variations, at least that's my favorite track on Uncle Meat, and I know it heavily influenced some musicians that I know. Then there are the Dog Breath Variations...

I have a thrift store copy that I just dug out. It's cracked, but if I
allign the edges just right I can play it.

And . . . it's still a fantastic little joy ride. I was grinning the whole

The flip side is an actual song, not a sample-fest, which makes me wonder

Subject: (exotica) Hello / Exotica Down Under

Hi everyone,

My name is Justin and I've just joined the mailing list.

I live in Queensland, Australia where the ghost of Exotica & Tiki culture is
ever present.
For example, we have a tourist attraction called 'The Big Pineapple' which
has operated for around 30 years.
We have our own 'Gold Coast', where mostly retired couples (and the odd
aging bachelor) settle down to soak
up the sun and the beach.
We have no end of tropical themed holiday resorts and motels / motor-inns.
Our climate is mostly sub-tropical, and we have an amazing island reef
system, 'The Great Barrier Reef'.
Also, not forgetting, great thrift store shopping.

But what people don't know is that we also have, quite possibly, the only
Australian purveyor of the
musical style made famous in the 1950's by Martin Denny & Arthur Lyman.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you, Nelson Ferguson, champion of
Exotica Down Under.

I met Nelson, who is now in his 60's, through collecting LP's a little over
a year ago.
I was soon to find out that this fellow had been playing the style of music
I was becoming
obsessed with, since the mid 1960's. He studied Musical Arrangement as a
young man,
was Drummer in various Big Bands, did radio and TV work, took up Vibes and
formed a band
'The Manhattan Quartet', playing in the style of George Shearing and from
there
the Exotica style, in the clubs of Sydney and the Gold Coast as well as on
cruise ships.

I have recently compiled 3 CD's of his material, 2 of Hawaiian songs, and 1
of Classical compositions
done in the Exotica style. He records in his home, which is like a
Polynesian paradise in the middle of
the harsh Australian bushland.

At the moment I'm really gauging peoples interest, I've never sold CD's
before, I'm currently just burning copies
for friends, but I, and Nelson, would like to get his music out there for
people to enjoy.
So if you are interested in hearing some beautiful music in the True Exotic
Style, or would like more information
about Nelson, please respond to this posting.
Or if anyone has information about labels or distributors that may be
interested.

Thank -You all.   Aloha for now.
Justin.

i just saw this stupid movie "Evolution". Besides that it was really stupid, there was a tiki party scene in it, with a couple of big tikis and costumes and decor, but with completely stupid music. This info just for the collectors of you, who have to know about each and every appearance of tiki anywhere.

Speaking of filmic tiki, Mo, I recently watched Soy Cuba ("I am Cuba" to us

been mentioned before but the Havana club scenes are out of this world!

A must see, and Tiki to say the least.

Hey, does anyone know how to get hold of
'Hawaiian Eye' episodes on video?
Arthur Lyman features in a few of them playing
tunes he never put onto his LP's.

I've got episode 105 (3-34) 'Across The River Lethe'
that features Lyman in the Shell Bar.
Does anyone have any others taped off TV?

I agree with her.  Let us know how to obtain this.  I'm sure there's
someone on this list who could tell you how to get him promoted in
the U.S.  BTW, I love Hawaiian Eye and I'm also lookikg for tapes of
this show.  Is there anywhere in the world that this is still on TV?

I completely 100% agree.  I was completely swept away when I saw some of Korla's
1950 era footage.  Korla was playing a minimum of two (perhaps in reality up to
four) keyboards, placed at a 90 degree angle to each other.  His fingerwork
between all the keyboards was incredible, the music he was creating was
incredible, and all the while he spent a good portion of the time gazing calmly
into the TV camera's eyes with his dark eyes (have I mentioned his turban yet -
well, he was wearing a cool turban too)  I was cast into his musical spell, and
I'm a modern era male who had been exposed to a whole slew of Peter Gabriel
music videos and other modern video techniques before I saw this 1950's era
footage.  It was so damn easy to picture and imagine a large number of L.A.
based housewives falling under Korla's spell.

Mr. Pandit definitely had a true early television presence.  It may seem a bit
cheesy today, but one cannot deny that there is some real form of power
happening within his eyes.

I saw a few exotica videos that night (I think it was a Secret Cinema event in
Baltimore)  Of all the segments shown that night, I can recall two:  Korla's
television piece, and the one featuring the clean-cut members of the Three Suns
playing one of their songs as a giant revolving tiered cake (big enough to hold
several 1940's era beauty queens AND the Three Sun members) slowly rotated)

Come to think of it, almost nothing of what I have seen on MTV in the 80's and
90's has compared to the impact of those two video clips.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Hawaiian Eye On Video

I think that Eddie Brandt's Saturday Matinee (a huge rental-by-mail outfit
out of Hollywood) has several tapes of Hawaiian Eye for rent as well as
episodes of the Adventures In Paradise series.

I've only done business with Brandt's once and that was about five years
ago.  It takes some effort but it is a good way to see more obscure stuff
without spending too much.

They don't seem to have a website, but a web search should turn up
something.

Hope this helps.

His first album (...'s Keyboard Repair) was pretty good, especially the
track about crickets. And I can see the similarity in the drums and
synth sounds with that album and, say, Haack's The Electric Lucifer.

Are they covers or remixes? (I deleted the original mail if that said

I would have to say a resounding yes.  This is one of the few Percy Faith
albums that are worth having, along with Bim Bam Boom.  The version of
Delicado on here is the most powerful arrangement I have heard yet. The
title track is arranged nicely too.  It is not all strings, but strings are
in there, with the horns and the mad percussion section.  I bought my copy
for $1, but considered a duplicate on open reel for $15 and lost the bid.
This one is high on my list, especially if you like bombastic orchestration.

I really must agree. I picked it up a week ago and have played it quite a
bit since then. It's quite a little high energy disk, compared to some of
Mr. Faiths other records.

another question: what's Shangri-la like? I had it without a sleeve (for
some reason sleeve-less records sound worse to me) and got rid of it,
but am now thinking I didn't listen to it properly, and should have kept
it.

Subject: (exotica) More On Nelson Ferguson

In the last 24hrs since I joined the list with news of my friend
Nelson, I have been amazed at the amount of interest shown.
So here's a bit more info about his music.
His style is very much Exotica in as much as (like Denny & Lyman)
it is constructed using tuned percussion with Vibes / Marimba / Piano
playing the melody, with various atmospheres in the background,
(i.e. bird calls, ocean swells, ships bells, jungle sounds, etc)
He fell in love with the original music and is pretty much paying tribute.
His 2 Hawaiian CD's feature many Exotica standards, but with his own
flavour,
and quite a few non-standards. Both CD's have over 70 minutes of music.
I am yet to master his Classical Exotica tape ( should be ready in 2-3
weeks ),
he's currently working on a Latin American one, and has planned another
Hawaiian
one and one of Tahitian songs.
All recordings are done by Nelson alone, no band, with many traditional
instruments
he has collected from islands (while playing cruise ships in the 60s & 70s),
and many
he has made himself, and constructs the songs using samplers, which could
make it unnatural
sounding, but he's been doing this for years and has perfected a beautifully
natural blend of
sounds and instruments.
Anyone who is a fan of the old TV show 'Hawaiian Eye' might like to know
that Nelson
played in a band that backed Poncie Ponce when he toured Australia some time
in the 1960's.
I have been urged, by Nelson, to put up a Web Site, so this may be happening
soon.
As for sound samples, I could send some mp3's with individual replies on
request.
(I haven't any ready, but I'll put some together in the next few days).
I'll send prices and mailing address to those who are interested.
Thanx.
Justin from OZ.

I got mine from http://www.othermusic.com

They had trouble getting in the French one.  This was a two years
ago.  I would contact them and see if they can order them from
their distributor.  Who knows maybe they still have copies.

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/20/arts/theater/20PLAN.html?0720inside

Looks like there's an off-broadway play called "Music From A Sparkling Planet."

I wonder where they got that name...

I just bought the only one I was missing (St. Tropez) at Other Music in
Boston last month, and I believe they had the rest of them in stock.  I
think it may be out of print, though, so send an e-mail to Tom at Other
Music and ask if they have them at either location.

another question: what's Shangri-la like? I had it without a sleeve

imho, without the sleeve the album doesn't rate high...unless you go for
extremely lush music. You never hear a single instrument on this
record...always large numbers of them...strings, brass, you name it...all
pumping out serenity.  This is the kind of music you would hear as Jack
Nicholson and his buddies line up to get their pills in "One Flew Over a
Cuckoo's Nest."

I thought they would have at least one song with accents or novelty or
something to make me like it...for instance, Song of India...but
unfortunately no.

The cover is great, but that's not what you were asking about.

Subject: (exotica) soundtrack/funk/downtempo bargains

Thought some of you might be interested: I was pleasantly surprised today
when I went to one of those factory outlet malls (this one in Petaluma, CA)
and walked into one of those Sam Goody-like stores that never has anything
(at least that's what I thought previously).This one was called Music For A
Song. In any case, I was passing by the Various Artists section and found
the following dustygroovy goodies:

- - "Hed Kandi: Serve Chilled" $7.99 (the others in the Hed Kandi series were
$14.99 for some reason)
- - "(Italian Girls Like) Ear-Catching Melodies" [Dagored] $4.99
- - "Beat Vol. 1: Lounge at Cinevox" $7.99
- - "Blow Up Presents Exclusive Blend Volume 3" $7.99
- - Kenny Dope, "Strange Games and Funky Things III" [BBE] three CDs! for
$7.97

So there you have it: imports for half the price, if not more...

Later,

While hanging out at HMV the other day, they were playing a CD by an
Australian group called Avalanches.  I just heard part of two tracks, but
one really caught my attention due to rather generous use of exotica
samples.  Has anyone else heard of this group?  And is the whole CD full of
similar samples, or just the track I heard?

I've had this disc since May and I love it. Not all the samples are
exotica, there's disco and all sorts of stuff, but the fun part is that
they seem to cram in as many as they can, from Madonna to Bert Kaempfert.

Subject: (exotica) Denny involved records

Came across another Martin Denny production sans Martin Denny as
performer... Chick Floyd   Hu La La Liberty LRP 3106

Like his other productions, the performers often included members of his
own group as well as others.  This one has Augie Colon, Harvey Ragsdale and
Julius Wechter.

Other Martin Denny productions similar in nature...
the two Augie Colon LPs on Liberty.

Are there others?  These albums are sort of like getting Martin Denny
albums under other people's name...the reverse of what happened in later
years when you would get other people performing under Martin Denny's name!

Subject: (exotica) Just 3 short of Maximum Light

Now that I don't have to produce the Mr. Smooth Show for broadcast, I am
taking this time to finally get my records in order.

I noticed my Enoch Light section was rather full and wondered if I had all
his Command LPs.  When I compared to the very excellent Enoch Light website
discography, I found only three LPs I don't have.

Any one have any of these and would care to give a quick review?

RS833  Vibrations (1962)
RS835 Great Themes from Hit Films (1962)
RS871 Great Themes from Hit Films (1964)

...which begs the question...is 871 different than 835?

Also noticed there was no RS803, RS933 or RS949 in the sequence.  Does
anyone have a Command LP with any of these missing numbers or did the folks
at Command just not issue any with those numbers?

Also, I see an RS892 Discotheque  (1966)  This was issued AFTER Enoch Light
sold Command.  There was also an RS873 Discotheque Dance Dance Dance
(1964).  Could these be the same album?  If not, who did 892?

Let me know if you need any info about almost any Command LP!  Turns out I
have quite a few of them...with exception of LPs by the Ray Charles Singers
and The Robert de Cormier Folk Singers.

When I realized how many I had, I started getting RID of them.

I got rid of this one but I'm listening to the four cuts I put on Vol.3 of
my "Best of Command CDR's" and the version of "That Old Black Magic" is
mighty groovy I would say.  I would say it sounds like any other classic
"Persuasive" or "Provocative" Command record with maybe a touch more
upfront organ and guitar. And the organ, though I suspect it was played by
Mr.Hyman has a slightly different sound.   But there's lots of bongos and
if you like the others, you'll like this one.  And the cover design as I
recall was a little out of the ordinary for Command.  It kind of looked
like a stereo test record.

Boy we're getting all geeky with the numbers now aren't we?
Okay I have "Discotheque- The Discotheque Dance Album" and it's RS 33-892.
Then I have "Dicsotheque Vol.2" and it's RS 33-882
and I have "Discotheque Dance Dance Dance" and it's RS873SD.

None of them are the same.

And if you really want to get into the differences...
The first one is said to be by Bobby Byrne
The second one is by Enoch Light and the Light Brigade
And the third one is by Enoch Light and his orchestra.

What have you got against Ray Charles?  (I mean the white one).

Do you have the Dimension 3 record?  (That's RS 867SD)

Now I wish I had them all back.

Not really.

They have a hit single in the UK now, called Frontline Psychiatrist. Their
video clip is just as weird as the track itself. I've heard it only twice,
but if the rest of the CD is just as great I will surely check it out.

I saw the video once. At the very end the roll in a oversize LP record saying
ôSki SurfinÆ - The Avalanchesö on the label. I happen to have that great
production on my collection. Otherwise I wouldnÆt have realized.
