The Fugitive Kind is pretty iffy. There's a really good twist on it but otherwise I find it very dull and I never listen to it. Lonelyville is by far my favorite. Finding that album just completely changed my perceptions about the nature of soundtrack music, and where you could get music that sounded like it was from a soundtrack but wasn't. For me that was a strange step, because I found Shock and didn't know what it was exactly, mixed in with some Halloween records. Next I found Lonelyville after doing some research, and wow!
Baby Doll I think is so-so, but I was a fan of the movie long before I even knew who Kenyon was, and didn't connect the two. I would love to have a copy of The Hustler but until it is reissued, I continue to pray to get lucky in a thrift. I can't afford to spend an average going rate of $50 + on ANY record, no matter what it is or who it's by.

For the Kenyon Hopkins compleatist, there are also the two albums he
did with singer Susan Barrett, plus a good one with pianist Joe
Bushkin:
Nightsounds (Joe Bushkin)
Mixed Emotions (Susan Barrett)
A Little Travelin' Music (Susan Barrett)
These consist mostly of standards (Hopkins arrangements) and probably
aren't in the same league as most of KH's other work, but they're
still pretty good.
Basic Hip mentioned Ridin' the Rails and Contrasting Colors (both
spiced with Hopkins originals, along with the standards), and there's
also Swingin' Serenades. All of the above for Capitol.

I think it would slide nicely but I'm not sure why I would design anything
- - let alone this - to get a rise out of you in particular. Refresh my mind
about you and David Lynch.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Bernie Green
I was going to ring in on this, but it seems that everyone else has already
done so! I would just like to add that both the Bernie Green Stereo Action
release "Futura" and its predecessor "Musically Mad," are both currently
available on CD from RCA Spain. I wish RCA Spain had taken a bit more
trouble to recreate the original exquisite packaging of the Stereo Action
series, but I will take this over nothing any day of the week.
Of the two, "Futura" is far more interesting to listen to.

Subject: Re: Re: (exotica) Bernie Green
There's an episode of David Garland's Spinning On Air devoted to Bernie Green:
The whimsical music of composer Bernie Green is featured. We'll hear from four records released in the '50s and '60s which display a range of Green's work, from silly to serious. The silly stuff mostly comes from "Musically Mad," a Mad Magazine tie-in from 1959, and from "Bernie Green Play More Than You Can Stand in Hi-Fi." On the serious side, music from an LP of "Bernard" Green's music for symphony orchestra. From "Futura," recorded in the earlier Sixties, we hear Green's prediction of the music of the futuristic 1970s.
