Subject: (exotica) SRL

While watching some Survival Research Labs videos, it occured to me that the
source material for their soundtracks are very exotica/ISM.

Does anyone know if SRL's sound mixes are available on tape/CD separately
from the videos? What with all the crashing and burning it can be a bit hard
to hear the sounds clearly. I'm sure the audio is meant to be part of the
total experience but I wouldn't mind hearing clean audio alone.

Subject: (exotica) Re: zorn

Regarding John Zorn:

Discovering Zorn's then-new "The Big Gundown" album in the mid '80s was the
initial catalyst for me becoming actively interested in Zorn, Morricone,
other "outside" jazz, traditional jazz AND film soundtracks. ALL of that.
So obviously, it will always have a special place in my heart!

Coolest records in my parents' collection: zilch. Hardly anything but
conservative classical music and mainstream '60s folk (Peterpaulmary, Baez,
Kingston Trio and all that ilk, but not one Dylan album).

Zorn is wonderful that he exposes so many different types of music/ideas.
Going into the world of Zorn,you are sort of being lead into one area of
the world to the other.  He is one of the few that mixes low into high art.
I also think his Gainsbourg collection is great.

Subject: (exotica) John Barry compilations

Someone asked about this a few days ago, but I accidentally deleted the
message.

Scamp put out three EMI compilations.  You can find more info on them at
http://www.caroline.com/scamp/john_barry/

Volume 1 is the most Shadows-y, with lots of rocking ringing guitars and
some songs from that film "Beat Girl".  Volume 2 has the "Stringbeat"
album and similar tracks: also guitary but with a nice smooth feeling
that goes well with (pre-moog) Enoch Light-type stuff.  Volume 3 has
Bond soundtracks and similar stuff - the kinds of things trip-hop people
love to sample (lush and filmic).

If you can only get one I would recommend Volume 2.  While it's similar
in feeling to the Command "style", it has a very original quality.  The
effect of the bright guitars and plucky strings works extremely well.
The other volumes are also good, but since it's easier to find his
soundtrack stuff and Volume 1 is a little more rock-and-roll, Volume 2
may be the best to start with.

We use Lotus Approach (a database program - equivalent to Microsoft
Access).  If you have enough titles, it's worth it (as opposed to just
using a spreadsheet program).  It does take forever to input the data,
however.  You can set up whichever categories make sense to you, ie -
record label, country of origin, year, artist, title, type of music,
etc...

Salut!

    The only "exotica" artists I've gotten my parents into would have to be
Combustible Edison (I turned my mom on to I, Swinger when it came out, but when
the second one came out, she didn't like it, because she said it sounded like
"a carousel in Hell"), Serge Gainsbourg, the Ultra-Lounge collection, and
(semi-pertinently) the Cardigans.  But I did also get my mom into the Brian
Jonestown Massacre after a night of mutual admiration of old Rolling Stones.
That, however, has nothing to do with exotica -- sorry.

Thanks, I've been to your homepage before, but apparantely didn't make
it to the car page. Now, that's interesting: Are you stating, that the
Kaiser cars were built by Henry Kaiser, the man who built the aluminium
dome, were Martin Denny and others performed? It's a small world.
The Dragon's Tiki-appeal is rather subtle, my Tiki-VW is more drastic, I
attached a pic. Of course you know Robert Williams then and his book
Custom Kulture. Do you know a small book called Led Sleads, which came
out a while ago? I also collect picture of cars of all kinds. I remember
a car called dragon wagon, and I first thought you were talking about
that. It was designed by a Tom Daniel , came out as a Monogram (Mattel)
hobby kit and looked like a custom Model-T with a Circus-cage on the
back, that had a "life-sized" dragon in itself.

No, but I remember that our notorious  friend Boyd Rice was involved in

That was me asking about the Barry comps.  Thanks for the
info - BUT your recommendation for "Vol. 2" since it is
"similar in feeling to the Command style" will make me steer
clear of that one!!!!  I'd rather go for the rockin' Vol.1!!!!!  Vol.3
sounds like what I'm after too.

I'd consider going this approach before buying some sort of software.

Yeah, I have to agree with several people.
One, Zorn and Naked City are the first people who got me thinking in the
spy/western music vein, which led me to exotica.  Two, the Big Gundown is a
classic in my collection.  And three, the Serge Gainsbourg tribute rules and is
easily more accessible than the Big Gundown or the Bacharach tribute.  It's
definitely topping my list for best of 98 right now.

If you're interested in joining the Zorn list, it's on the xmission server, just
like this list.  I think you have to "subscribe zorn-list", but I forget the

Just a note that the Zorn list could just as well be called the Knitting
Factory list or the Downtown list. It ain't just Zorn (though he's the
organizing principle).

Here's the mechanics:
 To subscribe to zorn-list-digest, send an email to
       "[e-mail]"
 with
       "subscribe zorn-list-digest"
 in the body of the message.

 For information on digests or retrieving files and old messages send
 "help" to the same address.  Do not use quotes in your message.

 A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to
 subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "zorn-list-digest"
 in the commands above with "zorn-list".

 Back issues are available for anonymous FTP from ftp.xmission.com, in
 pub/lists/zorn-list/archive.  These are organized by date.

Has anyone heard Marty Gold & Orchestra's The Soundaroundus? (RCA, 1966)
It's billed as "A Marriage of Music and Electronics", but Spider Sense
is tingling. Does "electronics" here refer to newfangled recording
techniques which add an extra dose of sap to lush springs, or is this a
genuinely strange and/or interesting recording?

Yeah, it's on "$" or known in the UK as "The Heist". FABULOUS soundtrack.
Recently picked it up myself. Not an easy one to find, but worth the look.
Weird ass stuff. Introduced to me by my good friend and fellow DJ Hush Puppy.

    the version by Laibach on their cd "NATO" is hilariously over the top!

as far as "stroboscopica" is concerned, the music compiled there
wasn't used in any soundtrack. it's just music that was recorded for
eventual use in movies, television breaks, documentaries, etc., but
has always remained unissued ever since.

I happen to have a recorded tape of "Great International Hits",
complete with photocopy of cover and notes. Someone who listened to
my radio show sent it anonimously to me, supposing that I may like
it. I did it, indeed.
Cannot imagine how someone here in Italy could have put his hands on
this indian record.
Anyone interested in tape swapping can make request.
Tracklisting goes:
1. These Boots Are Made For Walking
2. Puppet On A String
3. My Favorite Things
4. I Want To Hold Your Hand
5. Sugar Town
6. Edelweiss
7. Do-Re-Mi
8. If I Had A Hammer
9. Strangers In The Night
10. Tequila
11. Lemon Tree
12. Lara's Theme

Les Yper Sound was name of a group (?) who released a single of some
commercial fame in France and Europe also (at least in Italy, I'm
sure) at the end of the sixties (1969, I guess), on Fontana tf
260.103. A side was "Too Fortiche"; B side "Psyche Rock".
Both songs are by Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier. Whether they are
French or from Belgium, I don't know. Maybe Johan will help.
A side is labelled as "jerk"; B as "rock".
Notes in the back cover of my italian print 45 say (I'm roughly
transalting from italian):
"The research of new sonic material is the main goal for every modern
composer and arranger. In the U.S.A. and U.K. there are clubs where
beginners go to dance, but also - and above all - to get drunk of
sounds in a sort of mysterious communion. Pierre Henry with Michel
Colombier have composed one jerk and one rock in a way that nobody
has ever listened before, stricly reserved to the in-crowd. It's sort
of a cult: music that cannot be described. It has his own particular
language, based on rhythm... must be listened in the dark, standing
still or dancing... has many hidden virtues... he who knows how to
melt with this music finds himself in a special state that opens a
world of colors and unknown sounds..."
(notes by Charles Davoust).

You can find "Psyche Rock" reissued on beat/psych cd comp. "Turds On
A Bum Ride" vol. 6 (or 7).

On the back cover, at the bottom, for whatever reason, it reads "Dum Dum"!

Here's what I know about these artists (it's not much): Red Sleeping Beauty
come from Sweden, haven't heard them but they supposedly play pretty
anorak-y C86 pop (C86 was a tapecompilation New Musical Express put
together with that year's English wave of jingle-jangly west coast psych
Byrds/Association/Love/Velvets influenced bands). Holiday have been
described as "American sugarsweet guitar pop for friends of pop like Ivy,
Field Mice and The Smiths". Sean O'Hagan from the High Llamas guests on
Laila Amazian's (correct spelling) album which is suppsedly in a Astrud
Gilberto bossa nova-style.

Alright, hope this was to some help, I told ya guys I didn't know much
about this! :)

On another note, I ordered the new Pizzicato 5 remix-CD but haven't heard
it yet - what can I expect? How much have the original Happy End songs been
remodeled, remixed, or rearranged?? I'm particularly curious about the High
Llamas remix, anyone heard it?

I heard the P-5 remix CD today at my favorite record shop and I was very
disappointed...I have become a big fan of theirs thanks to Br. Cleve and knew
the stuff that was re-mixed to the point of knowing the originals are far
better to these ears

Hi to all,

         I don't mean to change the subject(s) that are going on at the
present time,
but I have one question that I hope someone can answer.  Does anyone know
if the
Les Baxter album, " Space Escapades " is available on cd?

Well, that's another sort of mystery....

But it gives me an excuse to repost my still unanswered question:
Has anyone ever seen an LP by "80 Drums Around the World", or are they
actually an invention of Brad UltraLounge who didn't like the sound of
"Bob Thompson's Battery"??

Here's a recipe from Steve Milgram, who ran the great Deetroit used record
store Sam's Jams for many years. (Don't know if Sam's still exists. Any
Detrioters out there who could enlighten me?) A fine cleaner for vinyl,
although it will probably strip the four-color inks from record sleeves:

Sam's Jam's Secret Sauce

One part denatured alcohol
Two parts distilled water

Mix and wipe on yer viny with a soft cloth. A little goes a long way.

And if anyone would like a recipe for Lebanese-style grilled chicken, write
offlist.
