Oh, yeah!  I found this one a while back and totally agree.  Glad to know
it is around other places.

And, yes, don't listen to it all at once! The theme just doesn't carry like
Peter Gunn or The Third Man Theme...but each cut heard individually it is
very cool!

I could probably make some mp3 files of it and stick it up on my website if
no one else is doing it.  My copy is in excellent shape (as I imagine most
copies would be) and I have space to do this.  I just don't always have the
time (or maybe I just don't have the software), so it could take a couple
of weeks.

I need help.
Last week I clicked on these cuts and they automatically asked whether I
wanted to save them to disc.
Now right away they start loading to my Windows Media Player without asking
to save them.
I downloaded this new Media Player in the meantime, I think.
Should I just disable it?  Uninstall it?  I don't know why it's doing this
but if that's what it does, who needs it?

Any advice?

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Right-click them and do a "save-as" that should get it.

Maybe it 's the new Windows Media Player that's acting differently. I just
downloaded a new Quicktime, and it has assumed responsibility for MP3
steams, and it's making me CRAZY.

I hate computers.

Byron, hope you can do that for Carl. My copy looks great but it does not
sound that good.
Maybe it's these turntables. CD's are so much easier. You just pop them in
and listen. LPs are fun but too much to fiddle with. Needles, loose
connections....

Byron, got the gin in the freezer like you suggested on your web page. Be
mixing soon.

Happy new year everybody!
About Werner MⁿllerÆs hawaiian music. I never expected it to be like lame tourist
souvenir music.

Tahitian music is rather wild. So Werner could have called the album:
Haole Tunes In Swing Arrangements, Maybe As Wild as Pre-Missionary Polynesian
Music.

He probably wanted just three things in one album:
- - Phase4 sound
- - Esquivel inspired arrangements
- - standards that would go well with a tiki mask and a lady on the front cover

The music is an experience in its own right. Try and listen without secondhand
associations. Rather take it out into real life than have it for your private
eyelid theatre.

As Alan, I'm a bit surprised that Hawaian Swing didn't do it for you, as the
version of Hawaiin Eye on it is one if my all-time favourites, but it isn't
a "free spirits in love" kind of record so... As for the rest of those on
the list, I have to agree they are mostly all duds, though On the Move would
be my choice as the next best after Hawaiian Swing.  I have one other,
"TanzParty '68" on Ace of Clubs, but sadly, the cover proved much more
promising than the content.

I probably mentioned this once before, but I knew from a few tracks I had
heard on some killer compilations (Nymphomania I think?) that Werner Muller
must have done some super groovy recording. Well I finally found that
record.  Its called "The Strip Goes On"  and its in a league of its own.
Typically, most of these big band conductor records are a mixed bag, with a
selection of some slow, fox, rhumba, etc. tracks, and usually one or at most
two beat tracks, which are always the best. This one is ALL beat tracks!
Unfortunatley my copy is not in great condition but I couldn't pass it up
since I was sure I may never get a chance on it again.

Here's the details:

Orchester Werner Muller - The Strip Goes On (the cover model is
um....halfway there..)

Bodybuilding
Too Darn Hot
Femme Femme
The Beat Goes On.
 Je t'aime... moi non plus
Elgelechen

The Stripper
Oh Baby It's Cold Outside
Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine

Thanks so much for the heads up!  I have resubmitted for Outsider and for
Incredibly Strange, and also for Sun Ra.  My Sun Ra robot radio station is
still up at Live365 - called Sun Ra - The Cyberspace Ministry.  At this
point there is little more I can add to that playlist unless I receive more
burns of albums, such as the magnificent "Astro Black," which has never been
reissued.  And I am always looking for charity of that kind!
Also... I do not have a lot of Sun Ra on this PC.  I'll be dragging my Mac
out of storage in a couple of weeks, and I have more tracks on that thing.

Marco, I can not thank you enough for sending me Honey West!  You ROOOOOL!

Man, am I digging the uploads of the week.  So sorry to hear that Basichip
needs to take a short hiatus. (Don't think that we are going to let you
slough this off for too long!) Now the weight shifts to the talented Otis
Fodder.

I thought I would pass along another tidbit that I learned while trying to
find the best way to slurp all these great files off the net. It was getting
tedious waiting for each file to download and then load the next one and so
on. I imagine those with dialup connections might find this process
especially frustrating.

Thinking there had to be some kind of program to solve this I went to
download.com, and sure enough, there are a number of download managers that
will allow one to put all those downloads into a cue, and let the computer
tend to the downloads for you - even restoring dropped connections.

The one I am using is a trial version of Download Accelerator Plus. Pretty
Neat!

Hope someone finds this useful. Happy New Year, y'all.

If you ever lose the URL's to their cool sites, be sure to check out the
downloads section of my new site: www.weirdomusic.com/downloads.htm (part of
weirdomusic.com, which is still very much under construction).
If anyone knows of any more downloads or streaming audio, don't hesitate to
contact me!
(and yes, mr. Hip and mr. Fodder approve of the fact that I 'borrow' some of
their cover scans - thanks again, guys!)

Subject: (exotica) TCM preview from a different perpetrator

JB leNoir hasn't jumped in yet with his usual TCM preview, so...

Their theme this month is "Swinging 60s" movies every Tuesday night.

Tonight it's "What's New, Pussycat?" (1965), "After The Fox" (1966), "The
Impossible Years" (1968), "Get Yourself A College Girl" (1964) and the epic
(epochal?) "Lord Love A Duck" (1966). Beginning at 8:00pm, eastern.

Tomorrow afternoon at 12:30pm, it's "The Night Of The Hunter" (1955).
Starring Robert Mitchum and his knuckle tattoos.

Thursday at 8:00pm is the 1984 Marlene Dietrich documentary, "Marlene" --
commentators seem to agree that this is the best Marlene Dietrich
documentary. "Blonde Venus" (we recently had a thread on the Hot Voodoo
dance scene) aired *last* week. Not scheduled this month, but I'm sure it
will turn up again before too long.

There seem to be two Andrei Tarkovsky films scheduled. "Nostalghia" (1984),
late this Friday night at 2:00am. "My Name Is Ivan" (1962) at the same
time, the night of the 18th. Hope they get around to showing "The Stalker"
again.

But, back to list relevance, watch out for those Swinging 60s Tuesdays. I'm
sure JB can point out more highlights.

Subject: (exotica) Plastic Records

What a great find. A Boston area store, Newbury Comics, opened up here in
the burbs and I found 6 comps from the Italian Plastic label. They have a
web page: www.plastic.it

These were all in the used section even though they were never used.  8
bucks each! The manager told me NC buys warehouses full of CDs so thats
where they might have come from. He's going to try to find more of them

These are the ones I found:
Mondi Caldi Di Notte , Italian 60's Mondo Movie Themes
Spectrum 60's film noir themes
Vroommm-Funk Cinematique, high preformance 70's turbo sounds for
sprint-exotic movie scenes
Stroboscopica Vol 2, 70's Psychofunk Jazzy Beats For Erotic Thrilling
Fiction
Phase 6 Super Stereo, Introducing the alternative Italian b-movie soundtrack
Harlem Shuffle the Sound of Blaxploitation, 17 essential cult tracks from
70's black Cinema

Listening to the Phase 6 one. It's just great. Track 7 "Mattino di Fuoco" by
Dom Boga is a uncredited remake of "Experiment in Terror". Borrowing from
the best. I want them all! So to my Boston Exotica list pals, since this
stuff might be spread over all the 20 or so NC stores check your local one.
A few years ago we all got the Sequel comps for bargain prices.

Allied Goes A Go-Go (Sounds like something on a Talkin' Verve comp with a

Alllied Moves in on a Spy Ring (Mancini-ish with snapping fingers and
hammond grooves and a siren at the end)
Allied Moves to Tijuana (Think Lonely Bull/Baja Marimba with one mambo UGH
in the middle)
Allied Moves Brasilia (this has exotica like percussion and bird calls!
Myfavorite track)
Allied Moves It's Hips (Very Bossa Nova-ish with wordless female vocals and
sax, Very Gilberto and Getz)

I don't know about capturing those free love spirits, but his LATIN SPLENDOR
OF WERNER MULLER is my favorite of the three LPs that I  have by him, which
are all on Phase 4. Yes, it has that impeccable glossy production, but it's
an incredible set of brass-heavy and occasionally very funky takes on latin
standards like "Cumana" (a peppy cha cha that got the floor shaking last
night at my club gig) and "Eso Es Amor." It also includes the inevitable -
and inevitably great - cover of "Light My Fire." I've scored two copies of
this LP so far ($4 US and $1 Can) and would probably buy another if I found
it.

I also dug out his ITALIAN FESTIVAL LP and found a uptempo version of
"Arrividerci Roma" (with weird echoplexed percussion) and covers of "Love Me
Tonight" & "More." This one is more "now sound" than "Latin Splendor" and I
think most posters on the list might dig it even more than that LP. As
long-a as you-a like-a lotsa bouncy spaghetti-tasting numbers, too.

Lastly, his TANGO! LP is just that: EXTREMELY melodramatic tangos that are
too over-the-top for me to really get into. Though if you like that sort of
thing...

It's also funny that someone mentioned the happy big-eyed people on Edmundo
Ros' SAMBA! album; I just found it for $2 last week! In keeping with the
topic at hand, I got out Ros' STRINGS LATINO LP on Phase 4 and there's
"Cumana" again, with - you guessed it - lots of strings with some ultra-fast
afro-cuban percussion. Quite amazing, actually. "Mas Que Nada" gets a
danceable big band treatment with a strong beat and 101 Strings-styled
background while "Green Eyes" has a romantic exotica sound. There's also
lots of tracks that would be at home on the aforementioned TANGO! LP. Pick
it up.

And if you want more Phase 4 action, check out the latest article at Vinyl
Vulture in their "Labels of Love" section:

http://www.vinylvulture.co.uk/

Their tastes run a little more to the late 60s-early 70s/funky side (like
mine) so don't expect a lot of typical exotica coverage but their crates are
deep and their opinions on the money.

Yes, they're sitting in AudioGalaxy land!  That is to say, 11 of the 12

Don't compliment me for it - it was Basichip who uploaded this soundtrack to
his site a couple of weeks ago. It's correct that it can now be easily found
on Audiogalaxy. If you join one of the usergroups (like Incredibly Strange
Music) and tell me your username I can even send it to you directly.

Subject: (exotica) Christmas goodies

Happy new year to you all, and a test posting to the new list format.  I
couldn't get to the archives from the link on the mailman home page, so I
don't know how its going.....

Had some fun over Christmas with all the colds and the vomiting bug thats
been going around town,  but I still managed some musical times.  All new
vinyl.

'Shut It' music  from The Sweeney, after that pre Christmas talk, it turned
up as a gift from Santa, isn't that nice.  Pretty damn good it is too.
Mostly Library funk as described (plenty flutey, too) theres one track I'll
post about again as its a real corker and I want more information, a dirty
(flanged?) organ and bongo's, scary and sparse,  by some French artists
perhaps?  As I say, I'll write it down and ask again.

Nino Nardini and Roger Roger 'Jungle Obsession', discussed before and I was
surprised to still see it about.  Its exactly what you'd expect if you
crossed classic Exotica with Italian and French groovy soundtrack music.
Absolutely great,  the first track especially,  great bongos.  What can I
say?

Bebel Gilberto  'Tanto Tempo Remixes'.  Not totally enamoured with this,  it
was in the 'Nu-Jazz' section of the shop and that should have warned me.
Still, 'So Nice (Summer Samba)' I enjoyed, and a couple of the others are
getting there.  Whats the original album like in comparison to this?  Was it
ever on vinyl?

I'm sure I found something in a charity shop too, but it escapes me
completely.....

Subject: (exotica) Langley Schools in Audio Galaxy's Top 10 reissues

The Langley Schools Music Project ends up at number four in
Audiogalaxy.com's Top 10 of best reissues of 2001. Here is what they have to
say:

"As a kind of companion piece to last year's Songs in the Key of Z,
outsider-champion-cum-smarmy-intellectual Irwin Chusid tapped Bar/None
Records to release Innocence and Despair. Presenting the results of an
experimental Canadian school music program in the mid-70's that coordinated
9-to-12-year-olds in singalong covers of 70's pop hits like "Band on the
Run," "Sweet Caroline," and "Rhiannon," the Langley Schools Music Project
must be heard to be believed. Alternately adorable and disturbing, this CD
is worth the price of admission for the Schools' ominous and appropriately
otherworldly cover of "Space Oddity" alone."

John Coltrane is at number one, by the way.

Can you believe that "Sam Goes West" is still reading up as firewalled every
time you send it?  Eeek!  I am now to commence the difficult, "pulling-out"

For the record, you are BOTH Shining Godz!

Subject: (exotica) arranging questions

This is off-topic in a sort of on-topic way (arrangement: our unspoken
subtext), but I have a couple of questions for the composers on the list
(is Br. Cleve still onboard?).

When writing for strings, and specifying double-stops, which intervals are
considered conveniently playable, and which are considered too difficult?
5ths are a cinch, obviously, but what about 4ths, 3rds, 7ths, 2nds, etc?
Where are the bounds of player abuse?

Can anyone recommend an especially good reference book on scoring/notation?
Hopefully something commonly available in, say, a Borders store. I'm not
seeking a tutorial type of book, but something geared more towards
reference -- quick checkups on proper usage & placement of
dynamics/expression markings and such. All of those little details that
leave me scratching my head here and there. Though coverage of the bigger
issues wouldn't hurt either, I guess.

Maybe reply off-list, if you want. Though it's not like we would be
impeding normal traffic, these days.

thanks very much,

If he were playing some other instrument, Ronnie Aldrich's Phase 4
records would appeal to me as well.  As it is, I don't enjoy piano
music.

No, he's not.  But I can listen to him in small doses.  However, it's
not as if I can listen to only music to dream by:  Japanese noise, Sun
Ra, and harsh electronic music make up a sizable part of my cd
collection.

Heh-heh.  I think you might be right.  Maybe one day I'll go back to all
the trad jazz and R&B/Soul that I listened so much to about 10 years
ago.  But right now, I'm a little tired of music that's filtered through
the performer's personality.  Give me soulless sound in all its
banality.

The Ocean's Eleven soundtrack and movie feature lots of cool (IMHO)
music, none better than Arthur Lyman's version of Caravan (from
"Taboo"). Already have the cut, of course, but it was cool to hear
Arthur's music in a blockbuster movie.
