I don't.  I tried to get a larger scan, but not having a scanner here it poses
a bit of a problem (my old scanner is toast).  So, each week I try to get a
scan from someone or find one on the web for selections I post.  This should be
fixed soon when I get a scanner.  Sorry.

That's a shame!  I'd like to get a larger one of that as well.  Hopefully
someone will get you a good sized flatbed scanner as a late Xmas gift!

Oh... yesterday I was unable to access the Friendly Persuasion show, which

Yes, everyone using AG should share their user names.  Mine is mistersuave.


You'll find that I have shared all my music files and what you find depends
whether I'm at work or home and which computer I'm using.  But, if you see
something you like let me know and I'll be glad to send it to you.

And, if you're interested you can join the Lounge & Easy Listening group.

A great comp, my friend!  I have been watching the Audiogalaxy discussions
with great interest.

Perhaps some of our more accomplished Audiogalaxy users would be willing to
share the user ID's of their favorite servers?

A good starting point would be the 3 CD set "OHM - Gurus of Early Electronic
Music".  You will find in this set examples from just about anyone who is
important from the early experimenatal music scene.  You could branch out
from there if any of the featured artists sounded interesting and you wanted
t pursue things further.

I was a sceptic at first, but I asked a student in our office to do a test
for me, knowing it would probably fail. To my surprise it turned up 50+
tracks from Andre Brasseur and even more from Mort Garson.  I um... signed
up immediately following...  I don't fully understand the fine workings of
AG as I don't know if you can see entire directories rather than tracks.
But I suppose when I get back to work in January I'l have to do a bit more
experimenting. Meanwhile I have to find myself a track listing for Black
Mass Lucifer & Wozard of ID to see if I have both of them in this
collection.

I don't know what this means?  Another intricacy of the AG system I seem to
have yet to work out I suppose. Or do you mean user ID's?  I thought the
server was randomly selected? Any hints to work this system better woud be
appreciated.

Oh yes, I will be <Bkaras1> whenever it is I get back up in January.

Of course the fact that I asked for that cover scan doesn't mean that I
don't appreciate the great work Mr. Otis and Basichip do. I was just
wondering why that larger scan didn't turn up.
So keep up the good work guys!

As far as I know you can look for individual tracks only.

I have both of these albums on my hard drive, so it should be no problem
downloading them. If you join a group like 'incredibly strange music' I can
even send the tracks to your download que, so that you don't have to look
for them yourself.

Subject: RE: (exotica) Re: Audiogalaxy

As far as I can tell, and I'm no expert to be sure, Audiogalaxy let's see
what tracks people have downloaded and are currently 'sharing.'  Apparently,
if they aren't online their shared tracks are unavailable, except in a few
rare instances where AG seems to have the track stored on its own servers.

Additionally, AG lets you search for FTP servers from which you can also
download songs.  Sometimes there is a password that is needed, but usually
that is listed along with the server info and URL.  And, occasionally you
have to upload in order to download.  I haven't done this as much, but I'm
planning on getting into that soon since that is where you are more likely
to find entire albums as opposed to the hunt & peck method of searching for
single tracks.

So, there are user IDs which, obviously, each user has.  And there are
server IDs which each FTP server has.  If you know a specific user or server
you can search for them and then browse through all their titles if they're
currently online.

I've been finding as much stuff on AG as I used to on Napster.  I wouldn't
wait too long though.  I can't see much difference between what AG is doing
and what Napster did so I suspect that as more and more people log on there
is more and more liklikhood the recording cabal will try to pull the plug on
the whole thing.

That's true, but I think it is interesting to note that these tracks still
show up in your search results (even when the people that share this stuff
are not online) and that they can be qued for later download. That's one of
the main differences with Napster, Morpheus, WinMX, etc. With these programs
the search results are only relevant at that very moment, whereas AG uses a
very large database (I think it's cddb, or whatever it's called) for track
info. It's my experience that at least 80-90% of the tracks that I que for
download actually show up on my hard drive within a couple of days.

That's where Hyperku.com can come in handy. It puts entire albums (or at
least all their respective tracks) in your download que at once.
Unfortunately their site has been down for a couple of days know.

Subject: (exotica) please help with my streaming media test

Hi everyone -

I've set up a streaming media account with my web host and am in the process
of getting familiar with it and testing it out.

I've had a couple of problems with people receiving the stream and am
beginning to think it's on my web host's end, not mine.

Anyway, if you would be kind enough to take a moment to access my test page
and click on each of the two links.  What should happen is Windows Media
Player should launch and a 4 track playlist should begin streaming to you.

I've set up two links, one contains MP3 files and the other WMA files.  If I
understand correctly, MAC users cannot play WMA files.

The four tracks that you'll (hopefully) hear in the test stream are Brother
Bones, famous for his whistling the Harlem Globetrotters theme (Sweet
Georgia Brown).  I stumbled across a small stack of his 78's on the Tempo
and Theme labels not too long ago in near mint condition - I doubt they were
ever played.  Turns out he whistles on just about everything he did, so that
was a pleasant surprise.  Fun and toe-tappin' tunes!  By the way, does
anyone have a link to more info on Bro Bones?  Very little I could find!

Here is the link to the test page, please check it out and let me know in an
off list email if you can receive the stream.

The stream worked just fine for me. (FYI - I'm on an older PentiumII machine
running Win98) There was a bit of congestion during one of the songs, but
that may be because there were a bunch of us testing it out.

I have to say that your files sound damn good compared to what I get when I
record old albums.

Is it expensive to get set up with your ISP to stream files like this?  And,
who hosts your site currently?

Subject: (exotica) albums ending in "a"...and today's score

Okay, I've gotten a weird notion in my head.

How many albums out there end in "a" ?

off the top of my head, I have the following:

Exotica by Martin Denny
Exotica II by Martin Denny
Exotica III by Martin Denny
Orienta by The Markko Polo Adventurers
Futura by Bernie Green
Dynamica by Ray Martin
Sabra by Ron and Nana
Arriba! by Hugo Montenegro (but I'm not really counting this one)

any one have any others?

Score of the day for me today was STIMULUS PROGRESSION 6, an lp put out by
MUZAK!  I now own a genuine Muzak lp, and I'm loving it.  :)  On the other
hand, I also scored SOUNDS OF THE INDY NATIONALS, and I'm wondering why
someone would pop on an lp of nothing but cars going vroOOOOOooom!  I mean,
besides the obvious "lets show off the nifty new stereo hi-fi" angle. ;)

Happy Holidays, exoticats.

On the 20th, Johanne and I snuck off to Lake Placid and got married, in a
private ceremony presided over by Justice of the Peace Horace Pratt (whom I
chose for the name -- I imagined he would be like the JOP in the Nicholas
Ray movie They Live by Night, and he was, sort of.  His wife was our
witness.)  We did this without telling anyone, which means that,
technically, we eloped, though at 47 years of age it seems a little
pretentious to say that.

There was only one exotica angle to all this -- when we got back to the
hotel after the ceremony, and turned on the tv, Bob Hope was leading the
Seven Little Foys in the sublime Chinatown number.

Yeah but they do the same thing with CARS.
It's just a false marketing exoticism, like taking a toilet snake and giving
it a fancy French name for impulse buyers.

Found while surfing (prompted by buying Dream Babes vol.2 this afternoon) at

Who is Dr. Who?
RPM200

Like most popular institutions Doctor Who has been spawning record releases
ranging from the serious to the cash in almost since the day the TV series
began. In 1964 Decca, under license from the BBC brought out the original
version of the series theme tune , composed by Ron Grainer and realised by
the Radiophonic Workshop. From there a number of recordings were made by
actors / actresses on the show , plus other spin offs by groups or composers
linking their recordings to the show by theme or title. RPM's album collects
all these strands together!

This is a companion album to the major release programme the BBC have
undertaken releasing all the incidental and background music from the TV
series and films.) For example - The Go Go's brought out this novelty disc
with a girl singer and Dalek voices in between. The Earthlings - first
copies of this were banned by BBC Radio as they contained the SOS message in
morse. Maclcom Lockyer Orchestra - this was a single that sampled music from
the Dr Who & The Daleks film. Roberta Tovey was the actress playing the
young girl in the film Dr Who & The Daleks. Frazer Hines played Jamie in the
TV series during the late 1960's - Hartnell in to Troughton time. Jon
Pertwee - as well known doctor of the early 70's All selections are well
known to Dr Who collectors, they have been the subject of chapters in books
on Dr Who and trading lists for vinyl collectors.

RPM's album is the first time these have been collected together for
mainstream consumption. It is anticipated that a second volume will follow
up this release , covering the next decade of spin offs. These projects are
put together by Dr Who music expert Mark Ayres who has in turn written and
recorded music for the TV series and overseen the BBC reissue programme.

I feel a bit silly participating in this thread, but I couldn't help noticing that Russ Garcia's "Fantastica" was absent.

It gives it that Latin feeling....at the time, somewhat exotic to the
Northern European rooted sensibilities of Americans....JB/thinkin' about
Tropicalia and, of course, Erotica as I head for the Bodega with Gabriella

great! but... now Dr.Who-inspired album is complete without the true
masterpiece of the 20th century: "Doctorin' the Tardis" by The Timelords
aka THE KLF. Not a single original note of music was produced for it: apart
from some choruses the rest is all sampled from Dr.Who or from two glam
rock tracks from the 1970s) and an instant no.1 hit in UK in 1988.
