Hey wait a minute. Didn't Br. Cleve tell us that the swingsters are
20-somethings??? So what does that make the lounge hipsters? Pre-teens?
But then again, didn't I read that the lounge hipsters were actually older
yuppies who smoked cigars and drove around in expensive re-fabed vintage T-
birds? I like how they just twist the facts whenever it is convenience for

Subject: (exotica) Mitch Ryder
I read somewhere that Mitch Ryder (of MR and the Detroit Wheels fame, mid
'60s hits like Devil with the Blue Dress on, etc.) dropped the Detroit
Wheels and put out a couple of unsuccessful Vegas-style lounge albums. I
can't find any mention of it in any of his biographies/discographies, but
judging by his rock output, I would guess this was around 1969 - 1972.
Has anyone heard them, and do you know the titles/labels of the album(s)?
Thanks,
Dave

Subject: Re: (exotica) Slightly off-topic hip-hop question
Apologies for the off-topic post/question but this one is fantastic.
Over the weekend, I went to Soho asking hip hop shops about this record and
I finally found it.
Its called Lesson 6 by Jurrasic 5. It starts off with a chemistry lesson
record - "Potassium 3, Calcium +1, solutions, alkalines, acids" etc. and
then moves onto the turntable instruction record: "Imgaine you're about to
play a soul 45, but you've got the turntable set at 33 and the record plays
very slowly" half speed beats, faster beats, continual tempo changes and
the cool voices sampled from some obscure vinyl. If you can find it (on
Jurrasic 5's LP), its superb.
On the exotica tip, I found Paul Mauriat's L'Aventurra LP with 'I'l fait
bon, I'l fait beau' on it. This is fantastic and classic French orchestral
easy listening which was featured on the In Flight Entertainment
compilation. Paul is featured on the front cover staring into the middle
distance with a decidedly dodgy smile fixed on his chops. It looks like he
was asked to smile for the camera just as he received an extremely painful
blow to the nether regions. Just a thought.

After reading this, I headed straight to the Folkways site to see about one of
my favorite movies, shoestring budget "The Little Fugitive" (1953) with a
harmonica score by Eddie Manson. The soundtrack is a very rare 10 inch in the
couple of hundred dollar range. It is about a little kid you gets tricked my
the older kids into thinking he shot his brother dead and runs off to Coney
Island.
Much to my delight, they had it!
Johan updates:
* Soundtrack: "The Night Of The Hunter(Narrated By Charles Laughton)"
[by Various Artists]
CD, Bear Family BCD 16263 AJ, Germany, 1998
Another all-time favorite movie and I had long pined for this rare and $$$
score on RCA. LPM-1136 (mono only) is what I hope this is, scored by Walter
Schumann.
So after years of waiting, I get good news on both of them over the weekend.
Oh! BLACULA too!

I'm currently using a Sumiko Blue Point - not a cheap cartridge at about 200
bucks, but also not the most expensive.=20
One thing I found out with this cartridge is that some records of mine that
skipped with other cartridges (same turntable, same person aligning the
cartridge), do not skip with the Sumiko. Similarly, many scratches are less
apparent. I think the reason is that the needle is a very fine elliptical
type.
Most are elliptical these days (as opposed to spherical, in reference to the
shape of the point). Not all styli are as low-profile as the Sumiko, though.
In any case, I think that the small profile of the stylus tip itself lets it
track better and deeper in the groove, thereby missing lighter scratches=
that
other cartridges may pick up.
Unfortunately, the needle for the Sumiko Blue Point cartridge is not
replaceable. You have to buy the whole shebang all over again, which gets
costly. I'm actually looking for something with a similar low profile=
needle,
but which has a replaceable stylus. Maybe the new Shure VX15 or whatever=
it's
called?

Well when you add in the phrase "European dross", I'm not sure anymore what
you're referring to.
It makes me think of Kraftwerk but I don't think you mean that. And I
don't think of Kraftwerk in the same category as "Country Moog".
I think I am old enough to remember when Moog records were trying to be
part of the mainstream. And as far as I can remember, there were a few
Moog records which succeeded at that but in general, Moog versions of
country songs, Moog versions of Bacharach, Moog versions of anything
popular... were as marginal as any of the other funny-in-retrospect
crossover attempts of the time.
Maybe I was just a bit too young to have been the buyer of Perry and
Kingsley records but as far as I can remember there was Switched-on Bach
and all its imitators, there were all the bands that incorporated moog but
didn't feature it as a gimmick, there was that solo from "Oh what a lucky
man he was" and then here in Toronto, there was the band Syrinx.
There's mainstream and then there are pathetic attempts to become
mainstream, some of which succeed.. and some of which even succeed on
musical levels which is why I'm looking for the records myself.

I also like vibes, and i did like Gary McFarland's "latin lounge",
on which he also hums along (in tune ;-)
i thought it added something special to the music...
Robbie (or others), how does "Pike's Peak" compare with

* Radio Centraal, FM 103.9, Antwerpen, Belgium,
at irregular times in their "Night Machine".
Fantastica # 58
title: SPECIAL: Martin Denny (Popeye in Africa) - identification: tooooooot
1. "Mama iti e papa e (from "Exotica III")"
o album "Hypnotique & Exotica III"
o CD, Scamp SCP 9714, USA, 1997 | +++++
o info: Scamp delivers everything a perfect reissue project should
be: 2 original LP's on 1 CD, with the original artwork, and
extensive liner notes. Don't waste money on a Denny compilation,
buy the Scamp series, if you can afford it; each of his classic
albums is worth having, and each and every track is brilliant.
2. "Malaguena"
o album "Latin Village"
o LP, Liberty LST 7378 stereo, USA | ++++
o info: Denny goes Latin, co-arranged by Bob (Robert?) Drasnin.
3. "Stranger in paradise (from "Quiet Village")"
o album "Quiet Village & The Enchanted Sea"
o CD, Scamp SCP 9715, USA, 1997 | +++++
o info: What else is there to say than "must-have!"?
4. "Popeye theme"
o compil. "Television's Greatest Hits" (65 TV themes from the 50's
and 60's)
o LP/CD, TeeVee Toons, USA, 1989 | +++++
o info: Exists on CD, see details in my "eXotica Releases Overview".
5. LEITMOTIV: "Popeye goes to the jungle"
o album "Popeye's favorite stories"
o LP, RCA Camden CAS-1046(e), USA, 1960 | ++++
o info: Great fun album with what sounds like an original Popeye
voice (this is the electronically reprocessed stereo version of
what looks like a 50's LP ).
6. "Similau (from "Exotica")"
o album "Exotica I & II"
o CD, Scamp 9712, USA, 1996 | +++++
o info: The first of what should ultimately be a 12 original album
reissue series.
7. "La pampa y la puna"
o album "Romantica"
o LP, London Liberty HA-G 2417 mono, UK issue, 1961 | +++
o info: "The lush and exotic sounds of Martin Denny" are a bit too
smooth at times, but not a bad record
8. "Danke schoen"
o album "A taste of hits"
o LP, Liberty LRP 3328 mono, USA, 196? | +++++
o info: From his second period, in which he switched from his
trademark exotic sounds to doing light jazz versions of current
pop hits, like "Blowin' in the wind", "If I had a hammer", "Que
sera, sera", "Judy's turn to cry", "Danke schoen" etc.
9. "The young savages"
o compil. "Ultra-Lounge Volume 17: Bongoland"
o CD, Capitol CDP 53413, USA, 1997 | +++++
o info: One of the numerous delights of the "Ultra-Lounge" series
are the previously unreleased tracks, like Martin Denny's "The
young savages".
10. "Llama serenade"
o album "Primitiva"
o LP, Liberty LRP 3087 mono, USA | +++++
o info: Exists on CD, see details in my "eXotica Releases Overview".
11. "Oro"
o album "Hawaiian touch"
o LP, Liberty SLBY 1354 stereo, UK issue | ++++
o info: I don't think Mr. Denny himself was involved in making this
album, but it's still really something. Side A is some sort of
"now" sound, as if recorded in a discotheque, with youngsters
clapping hands to the beat. Cool, but unlike Denny's sound. Side B
is co-arranged by Julius Wechter, vibes player in Denny's group
after Lyman left. There are a couple of wordless vocal tracks, but
the standout is "Oro", classic exotica with a "Afrodisia" sound.
12. "Voodoo dreams (from"Hypnotique")"
o album "Hypnotique & Exotica III"
o see above mention of this record for more details
13. "The queen chant (from "Exotica II")"
o album "Exotica I & II"
o see above mention of this record for more details
14. "Goony birds"
o album "Forbidden Island"

o info: Exists on CD, see details in my "eXotica Releases Overview".
15. "Day delight"
o album "Exotic percussion"
o LP, Liberty, vg+++/m- | +++++
o info: I hope Scamp will reissue this LP too!
16. "Quiet village bossa nova"
o album "The versatile Martin Denny"
o LP, Liberty LST 7307 stereo, USA | +++
o info: Not as good as "A taste of hits". "Quiet village bossa nova"
is the best track, also featured on "Ultra-Lounge volume 14: Bossa
novaville".
17. "Simba"
o album "Afro-Desia"
o CD, Scamp SCP 9702-2, USA, 1995 | +++++
o info: Wonderful, must-have, slightly over-the-top Afro-exotica.
With the Randy Van Horne Singers as chanting African tribes.
18. "Cubano chant"
o album "Afro-Desia"
o see above mention of this record for more details
19. "Flotsam and jetsam (from "The Enchanted Sea")"
o album "Quiet Village & The Enchanted Sea"
o see above mention of this record for more details
20. "The donkey serenade"
o compil. "Ultra-Lounge Volume 18: Bottoms Up"
o CD, Capitol CDP 53412, USA, 1997 | ++++
o info: Someone should tell the folks at Capitol to STOP that
horrible practice of mixing tracks into medleys. It makes it
impossible to play just 1 of the songs. Exemple: an excellent and
fun version of "Baby elephant walk" by Al Caiola is ruined by
fading it over into a crap Billy May track. Leave the mixing to
the DJ's, please! Otherwise a very good episode, full of funny
"gadget" cocktail music.
21. "I'm in the mood for love"
o album "Exotic sounds from the Silver screen"
o LP, Liberty LST 7158 stereo, USA | ++++
o info: Denny's exotic sounds doing "Over the rainbow", "We're off
to see the Wizard", "Singin' in the rain", "I'm in the mood for
love" and more.

o info: More jazz pop covers.
23. "Quiet village Moog version"
o album "Exotic Moog"
o CD, Electronic Vanguard 906 (bootleg) | +++++

I checked out your exotica releases overview and you had a question as
to the relase date of Supermarket Music
I looked again at the notes inside the Lorraine Bowen experience and
it was recorded in Copenhagen in 1996. There is really no other info
available on the cd not in Japanese. I'm not sure if it ws released
in 1996 or 1997.

it is fantastic isn't it ... most of the credit for this one must go to Cut
Chemist, one of the J5's two DJs, who is one of the finest DJs around when
it comes to mixing like this. as you point out, the seamless tempo changes
on this tune are incredible.
... the "Lesson 6" in the title refers in part to seminal hip hop records
built around complex sample collages, such as "Lesson 2" and "Lesson 3" by
Double Dee and Steinski, which was in turn the inspiration for other cut-up

scratching in "Peter and the Wolf" into Bits n Pieces springs to mind ....
PS. Cut Chemist also features on another new record with Invisibl Skratch
Pikl member Shortkut called "Live at the Future Primitive Soundsession" ....
cheers,
dan.

word!!!! cut chemist really is super phat. his scratches are amazing and
his tracks, along with Nu-mark are super sweet. plus the J5 MC's have
mega skills. one of the mc's (chali tuna) is also and mc with ozomatli,
another great band form LA. for all the exotica crowd out there in LA.
there are a lot of really good hip hop acts that i think you all would
like. one of them is J5 they;re not your standard hip hop. its alot
sweeter and mellower with lots of great samples and chilled out beats.
next is black eyed peas who have a live band backing them up definately
check them out and of course there is ozomatli with the
soulful/afro-cuban/mexican/hiphop vibe going on. thanks again and i;ll
see ya all at bahooka

There must be something about this album (10").
About two-three years ago a friend was showing me this album and two
days later I found a copy for myself.
I thought I had vol.2, but I couldn't find it. I don't think I imagined
it, so I must have seen it somewhere.

Subject: (exotica) music - with a beat
The last couple of mentions of Exotica material used in Hip Hop made me
think of those "Hooked on Classics" albums which put a disco beat to well
worn Classical orchestral chestnuts.
As for DJ mixes I completely enjoy Christian Marclay's treatment of
Martin Denny (my god it's over ten years old now.) In it's own way it
summarizes Denny's complete oeuvre in under three minutes, sans beat.
But, when it comes right down to it I'll take my exotica straight.
