I'd like to hear the Indian and Cambodian versions.

I've one that would do the trick - it's a French 3 CD set I got from Jack
Diamond a couple of years ago - he may still have a few around.   It's
Pierre Schaeffer, the "father of musique conrete" and his collaborator,
Pierre Henry.  Three CD's and a booklet covering a span of thirty years of
work.

Be warned, this is the hard stuff.  No bubbly, cartoony fun here - this is
the dark side.  I can't get thru one CD without turning it off.

I see Carl just mentioned Tod Dockstader.  I've heard a record of his on
Folkways, "Eight Electronic Pieces" which is interesting.

Then there is that computer music one - Music From Mathematics - "music"
made from punched IBM cards - wow!

This is for Clayton Black.  A reward for his perfect statement there.
Maybe you won't appreciate it out of context.
But these are the liner notes from a pretty mediocre "now sound" record by
Charlie Byrd called "Aquarius".

"Hey, you holding this new Charlie Byrd album. I'm talking to you.  Whay
are you buying this record?  Do you think you know what kind of music
you'll get when you play this LP for the first time?  Does Charlie Byrd
make your kind of music?
Or is this a purchasing gambit, with you buying the name of the hit song?
Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in from the rocker-socker Broadway production of
Hair, under the assumption that with the combination of this star-making
song and the proven musicianship of Charlie Byrd you can't possibly lose?
It is a reasonable supposition.
Like me, are you tired of hearing Halloween noises when the windmills of
your mind fill with weird non-music careening over the airwaves on radio,
over the box with the big eye (and tin ear), on and off Broadway, and even
now on the way to invading Okefenokee Swamp (Nashville Country)? Do you
still crave "real" music played by deft, trained and flexible fingers of
live musicians who play sounds dictated by their inner ear rather than the
inner tubes and channels of an electronics specialist?
Then you are right on both aforementioned counts, and now, relax.  We are
ready when you are, C.B.  You can make music for us and make the sun shine
in (in stereo) through my revolving musical windowbox anytime, Charlie
Byrd!  We need the likes of you to keep us tuned in to the still lyrical,
still melodic and highly inventive instrumental complexities of today's
sounds and scenes. YOur mixture of jazz, classical, bossa nova and
contemporary is more than enough to placate your followers.
This album of Right-Now songs will probably convert a whole new coterie of
jaded listeners into Byrd-watchers, and it will return some of the older
folks to the fold."

All I can say to that last statement is a huge "NOT!!!"

I guess you'd have to hear the record to understand the uh... "irony"
involved in these liner notes.  He does an okay version of "Time of the
Season", I'll give him that.
But it doesn't matter that he's a good musician or that he has Bobby
Rosengarden AND Ed Shaughnessy AND Bernard Purdie all playing drums.  Or
that he has Vinnie Bell on electric guitar.
The arrangements by the great Teo Macero basically suck.
And I can only assume that they suck because of some limitations in
Charlie's approach to everything.  He has this strangely busy style of
guitar playing and it can't just be superimposed on everything.
But that's what he does.  And the arrangements seem incredibly busy and
messy and you just want to scream "fire that friggin guitar player and
maybe we'll have something here!"

Subject: (exotica) the irony thread

As someone who's gotten into trouble in conversations (and e-mail) by being
ironic about irony, I should know better than to wade into the quicksand of
irony analysis, but...

I think some of the arguments thrown out here depend on whether you think:
irony=smirk.

I believe one can contemplate (or appreciate) the ironies of the universe
with reactions much more complex (and confusing and contradictory) than a
simple wiseguy smirk.

Irony ironizes itself.

Has anyone ever learned the real backstory on that album?

I've always imagined a journeyman studio guitarist showing up for the
session and having a sitar thrown at him cold.

"You can play this, right?"

"Uh, yeah... you bet."

Is the real story out there somewhere?

Subject: Re: (exotica) Looking for vintage electronic music

The punchcard thing was very common!  All the computerized realization music
had to be transferred to punchcards at some point.  The Columbia-Princeton
Center IBMs worked on the punch card system - in fact, another one of those
samplers relates solely to to compositions realized at that now-legendary
center - and so did other music computers which worked on a now-passe system
which universities employed (and upon which the internet backbone was
founded really) called VAX.
More recently, computerised notation systems have been developed and
employed by Larry Polansky and by his students and collaborators.  Music by
computers has not entirely gone the way of the Groove Box - some of the
formalised approach survives.

Yep, every track comes from audiogalaxy. I downloaded enough xmas music for
at least four of these comps. It's amazing what you find when you use some
creative search terms (not everything can be simply found by just looking
for the artist or title). It's a digital paradise! And of course, the more
'exotic' people using it, the more good stuff you can find.

No, just that upbeat, happy music has the potential to be a little too
giddy.

Really?  I didn't know that.  Who are these wet blankets?  And exactly

Can you give me some examples?  Something not too obscure, as groovy

Beat, tempo.  Mind you, this is coming from a man who enjoys drum and
bass.  Personally, I just prefer "dreamy" over "groovy".

I don't follow you.  I don't want to listen to high-spirited music all
the time anymore than I want to be tickled all the time.

An album I particularly like in that direction is "Electronomusic", by John
Pfeiffer, on RCA from 1968. Pfeiffer was a longtime classical music producer
for RCA, and Electronomusic is fairly abstract but not abrasive.

These are some of the listmembers that are active on Audiogalaxy:

weirdomusic (that's me)
jonny_yuma (Jonathan Richardson)
unclebri (Brian Linds)
mojoworkin (Ron Grandia)

You can also look for two interesting groups: 'loungexotica' and 'outsider

Other listmembers that want to share their usernames are invited to contact
me. I could post a list of usernames to this mailinglist on a regular basis.

And by the way, does anyone know why Hyperku (AG's sister site) isn't

Okay.  I suspect we're just talking to each other at this point but I'm
starting to understand your point of view.

You're equating "groovy" with upbeat, happy music.
And while I don't think that groovy implies upbeat and happy, a lot of the
music that I would label "groovy" is also upbeat and maybe even happy.

And it's funny you're focussing on that aspect of it because most of the
time, I listen to music that could be called "sad" and I've often dismissed
music for being too happy, upbeat, celebratory.
That's one of the reason I dismiss ska, polka, even traditional (or "hot")
jazz.  Same with all that Cuban jazz that's been "rediscovered" in the last
few years.

And yet, the one notable exception to my anti-happy taste, is the Now Sound,
go-go and groovy soundtracky stuff that we're talking about here.
I've often wondered what the difference was between the happy music I hate
and the happy music I like.

I guess the simple answer is that I like that quality which makes me
identify something as "groovy".  That quality somehow supercedes the upbeat
happy thing that usually turns me off.

Not all upbeat, happy music is "groovy".

But when it is groovy, I like it.

I don't think I can define "groovy" but I'm sure that there's a nostalgic
quality to it.  It's groovy if it reminds me of a certain sound that was
fairly prevalent in the last sixties.
I know that I have a connection to music of that period.
I don't know if it's MORE than nostalgia.

So what have we established?  I think you equate all upbeat, happy,
high-spirited music with "groovy" whereas I think that only a very small
sliver of upbeat music qualifies as groovy.
I agree with you that upbeat music is tiresome.
But I make an exception for groovy upbeat music.

I do have some theories for why I make that exception. Besides nostalgia.

One is that a lot of groovy music is only slightly upbeat.  IF I still
danced, I could dance to groovy music more easily than let's say, ska.
I can snap my fingers or tap my feet to Quincy Jones' version of "Jive
Samba" whereas with ska or polka, I'd just have to jump around and hope I
hit the beat  a few times just on account of the law of averages.
I think a lot of groovy music operates at a tempo which is "natural" for me.
I also think it often has a jazzy feel without the annoying aspects of jazz.

If I just think about Mel Torme's "Coming Home Baby" record, I start to bob
my head and dance ever so slightly in my chair.

Groovy baby.

i've got a nice Jamaican pop reggae cover of Cher's 'I Believe', but no
idea of artist, since is on mis-titled MP3. covers are always
interesting to listen to when they manage to give the song a whole new

Subject: (exotica) Cry Me a River (a flood, actually)

My pal Negus (Nicol=F2 Neri) once fell in love with this tune.
He has now compiled 3 boxed sets (of 3 cds each, for a total of 9
cds!) of different versions of the song. He has downloaded each and
every version he could find on the web, though I guess there should
be even more around!
He has presented me a copy of the first box set. Anyone who might be
interested in getting a copy of the entire box set or of a single cd,
can drop me a line off list and we can arrange some CD-R trade.
Here follows listings of the interpreters of the first 3 cd's:

- - Vol. 1:
Combustible Edison

Dakota Station
Anne Murray
Diane Schuur
Dinah Washington
Bjork

ho ho ho everyone -

this weeks upload is, along with the Free Design, one of the most
collectible of the Command / Project 3 series:

THE HELLERS - Singers...Talkers...Players...Swingers...& Doers
http://www.basichip.com/album_of_the_week/album.htm

I'm rushing out the door and can't elaborate, but it's a wildy creative
effort full of surprises.

I will say that what The Hellers were all about was advertising.  This is
not an advertsing promo, but that's their background and this is their only
public release - all other records they made were send out as promotional
material.  They were good!  When you have 30 to 60 seconds to pitch a
product over radio, you'd better be!

The Hellers head hancho was Hugh Heller, of the Heller-Ferguson Corporation.
They were in the business of putting together advertising jingles and
commercial spots for radio stations.

Next week's upload will be part two, the ever rarer promos send to potential
clients - leave room on your CD-R if you are making two-fers, you won't want
to miss these!

bye for now -

Oh yeah.  I've only downloaded the first two tracks so far, and this is
already assuring that I have a really groovy X-mess tomorrow.  :)

Nice one!

Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Perry Como (was Laurindo Almeida, A Man And A Woman)

One of my favorite Christmas albums when I was a child (late 60's) was
Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music.  This album was finally reissued
on CD a few years ago and I snapped it up.

We played it for our two year old last year as lullaby music when he
went to bed. Now, a year later, we have been unable to find any other
music to play that he will accept to listen. Riley, now three, still
loves to listen to "Perry Como!"  It isn't so bad, though it did cause
some confusion a few months back when I tried to trick him into listen
to "Perry Coma" on the Don Tiki album.

So, in thirty or so years except another message like this one from my
son Riley... :-)

Merry Christmas everyone.

I love these downloads of the week, but being the lazy man that I am, I long
for a way to dig on the crazy sounds with a minimum of intervention on my
part.

I hit upon an idea, and compiled a playlist from Ford's tracklist, so if you
have sufficient bandwidth, click on the link I have provided below, and you
can have the whole album stream to your MP3 player. You'll still have to
download the whole kaboodle individually to your HD if you want to keep copy
for yourself, though.

Rock on with your bad selves...

talking of the dark side, the Roger Roger (as Cecil Leuter) 'Pop
Electronique' LP is pretty heavy, although with a constant rhythm
section underneath. Morton Subotnick was mentioned too - his 'The Wild
Bull' LP is great too, one side of which is very unlikely to sooth baby.
