We, Subliminal Sounds, expect this comp. LP in within a week. Anyone
interested in that or our e-mail mail order list can contact me privatly.
And here's some more info:

"V.A. "I Hate The Beatles Volume 1" -- "19 very good reasons from all over
the world to kill yourself if you still love these insects" -- incredible
collection of horrifically bad Beatles' covers, hilarious and fantastic
stuff includes a 1965 German 45 by Die Beat Oma, "The effect of listening to
The Beatles cannot be better demonstrated better than by this German 45.
It's a well known fact that the Germans haven't got a clue of any kind of
music except yodeling, but this song is beyond recognition!" Covers from
everywhere, raspberry colored vinyl on Rape Records."

Actually, I tried to order the Japanese import CD of Russ Garcia's Fantastica
through Sound City 2000 in July.  I received a response 7 weeks later that it
was no longer available.

Subject: (exotica) Save The Tiki Room Newsletter: Issue #3

Hello Tiki Room Lover!

Welcome to Issue #3!

I'd like to start out by again thanking each and every one of you for
supporting The Save The Enchanted Tiki Room Campaign by signing the
Petition, located at
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/1877/savetikiroom.html

                     **********The Tiki News**********

- - We just this second got our 1300th signer, Kindra E. Groshong!  Congrats!

- - I'll be preparing the Petition #1-1300 to be sent in sometime early this
week.

- - I have been in contact with a source who I feel is the most knowledgable
person around when it comes to Disneyland and the Disneyland Management's
actions.  This source has told me that this Petition and Campaign has made
a difference in the minds of Disney Management.  We're making a difference!

- - A visitor to the Save Tiki Site wrote me to relate a story of a recent
visit of theirs to the Tiki Room.  This person overheard a Disneyland Cast
Member speak to another visitor about "some petition on the internet."
This just proves that workers in Disneyland know about this campaign!  For
more info, see the site at
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/1877/savetikiroom.html


    **********Other Disney News You Should Know About***********

Permit me to stray a bit from the Tiki Room for a moment to tell you of a
few things in Disney news you should know.

- - Mr. Toad will make his Last Wild Ride this Labor Day weekend in Walt
Disney World, Florida.  The "Save Toad" Campaign leader, "JT Toad" and I
have been in close communication and he has been a huge help to me with the
Tiki Campaign.  Unfortunately, despite all his hard work, Mr. Toad in
DisneyWorld is closing.  For last minute details, visit
http://www.savetoad.html and for an article both JT and I were interviewed
for, visit http://www.wired.com/news/news/culture/story/14750.html

- - DisneyWorld is not the only park to loose a great attraction over this
Labor Day Weekend.  The Submarine Voyage in Disneyland will be taking its
last dive this weekend.  This action by Disney Management is met with mixed
emotions, especially since the Lagoon is scheduled to sit empty and unused
until construction begins on a new attraction in 2002, with the attraction
opening in 2003.

In this time where Disney feels they can get rid of classic, magical
attractions, let us hope for the best for our Tiki Room in Disneyland!!!

                   **********Tiki Requests**********

- - Again, if any of you have Tiki Memories, please let me know!  I have
added a new page to the site entitled "Fond Memories of the Tiki Room."  It
gives the site a very personal twist.  I'm looking for stories or memories
you experienced in the Tiki Room.  To see what others have submitted,
please visit the main Save The Tiki Room page at
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/1877/savetikiroom.html

            **********More Stuff**********

- - If you would prefer NOT to receive this newsletter, please let me know,
and you will be taken off the list right away.

- - If you received double copies of this newsletter, please let me know, and
I'll fix it A.S.A.P.

Again, thanks for your support!  We couldn't do it without you.  As always,
the Save The Tiki Room site is the number one place to go for up-to-date
info on the situation.

Have a Disney Day!

Subject: (exotica) Peter Wyngarde

One of my friends bought this last week,  and wouldn't play it to me he
said it was too bad with a really unpleasant rape track near the end.
I've never known such sensitivity in the guy before.  Its a great
looking cover though.  Instead he played me some of the new Studio 2
releases.  Two CD sets of two original LPs.  unfortunately my titles =
are
approximate as I was drunk,  and I'm now at work.

Norrie Paramour        The Shadows in a Latin style/ Cliff Richard

this is fantastic stuff,  especially the shadows side,  FBI,  Apache,
Toe tapper all with a Latin beat and trumpet leads etc. =20

John Keating        Space Sounds vol I and II
Volume I has Jesus Christ Superstar and 'feel the earth Move' that
appeared on the XXXX compilation.  I have volume I on Vinyl and the CD
has a much better sound (the vinyl was not mastered very well,
surprisingly).

Some bloke playing the Hammond
All the songs in segues of three,  this must be the pick of the bunch.
I wish I could remember his name.  Great Hammond sound,  great
arrangements,  great backing tracks,  great song selection (including
Quiet Village/Tabu if I remember correctly).  Absolutely great,  and =
not
something I usually like.

Manuel and the Music of the Mountains  He didn't by this,  so who =
knows.

They were all at HMV,  one store had them for =A316.00 each,  and =
another
nearby had them all for =A39.99.

Sorry its all so vague but I was drunk,  it was 4 am.  And they were =
CDs
so I didn't pay much attention.

Subject: (exotica) Piero Umiliani: "Today's Sounds"

    I bought this a blind as I liked the cover and had a few pounds on a
token someone had given me.  It good,  all instrumental Italian soundtrack
stuff.  Some fast tracks some slow tracks, a bit jazzy, MELODIES oh, yes!
he drum parts have a really nice modern sound and would make great breaks,
and the bass parts on the faster tracks have that early seventies feel like
some Elvis tracks where they start at the bottom of the neck and just run
and run to the top (like EPs Polk Salad Annie).  I wasn't sure for ages if
it was a modern record in a retro sleeve or an old record.  Then someone
pointed the '71 date out to me,  (I'd just gone 'hmmmm,  Italian'  and not
looked too closely).  Personally I find it more interesting and listenable
than,  say, the erotica Italia stuff,  its a lot more consistent and
coherent.

A short comment on The Coffeeshop phenomenon.

The gist of it is this.
Our lawmakers are all ZEN masters.
So, it's legal to take stuff out of The Coffeeshop,
but it's illegal to take stuff into The Coffeeshop.
Yes, but how can it work then?
Here's where you come in.
When you've figured out the mechanics,
you have just earned yourself a masters degree.

Subject: (exotica) The Now Sound Collective [RE: Over and Over]

Back on this "over and over and over" thread, I was thinking about the most
interpreted songs from those wonderful "now sound" records and came up with
the following titles (in order of frequency):

The Look of Love
The Shadow of Your Smile
A Man and a Woman
Call Me
Georgy Girl

It seems like every "easy jet-set" record from '66 on included at least one
of these cuts. Has anyone compiled a tape or done a show with these songs?

From: "B. Yost" <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) El Chicano - review

This record has had me intrigued for a little while now:

"Viva Tirado" by El Chicano, Kapp Records
Recorded around 1970 "after hours in the lounge of the Kabuki Sukiyaki
Restaurant, 3840 Crenshaw Blvd., Los Angeles."

I had seen this album before but not given it more than a quick glance
because the cover makes it look more like the work of an early Latino punk
band than anything quasi-lounge.  More recently I saw it again and took a
look at the songs and liner notes and picked it up after seeing that it
contained the songs "Cantaloupe Island," "Quiet Village," "The Look of
Love," "Light My Fire," and "Coming Home Baby," among others.

Despite a few lukewarm tracks, I overall like this a lot.  The version of
"Quiet Village" alone makes this worth picking up.  It is truly original,
completely inverting the usual rhythmic pattern, and played faster and with
more energy than one typically hears.  The sound is very dynamic and "live"
in feel.  It occasionally comes a little too close to reminding me of what
I think early Santana must have sounded like, but more often has a quite
pleasing loungey quality, especially the excellent electronic organ.  I'm
not knowledgeable enough to identify the precise brand or model, but this
one is definitely "the bomb."  Other instrumentation is bass, electric
guitar, drums, and a variety of percussion devices.  Melodies and solos are
carried by either the organ or the electric guitar, which sometimes sounds
slightly like Friends of Dean Martinez rather than Santana.  But again,
it's really that wonderful sounding organ and some great songs and the
Latin-jazz percussion that elevate this project to something worth seeking
out.  Great back yard barbeque music.

   Following is a news item in the current (Philadelphia) City Paper:

   "Dutch authorities sentenced Wim de Nijs to four months in jail this summer
for singing the theme to THE FLINTSTONES over his small plane's radio.
Prosecutors said the pilot's prank tied up a radio frequency for 20 minutes,
preventing air traffic controllers at the Groningen airport from communicating
with other aircraft."

Let's not forget "These Boots Are Made For Walking," one of the most
covered songs ever. Or maybe it's just me paying special attention to it.
I once did a show on WFMU where I played a dozen versions of it. And more
keep on coming to this day.

(snigger!) It has always been in there like the matter in the universe.

But let me say this seriously:

Amsterdam has changed a lot since the 70s, one must admit that. I don't know
why Kallie thought, I would suggest that smoking Hasch is the ONLY thing you
could expect from the Dutch. I didn't even sound a bit like that. But I
strongly believe, that their politics towards drugs is doing very very well
and you can see it in the coffee shops, how responsible those people handle
things. It's really something the Dutch can be proud of, wether they smoke or
not. I only fear that the EC will turn the wheel back in its meaningless
attempts to standardize everything. They will rather make Holland like the
rest of Europe than vice versa. The thing about Holland is, that many people
who don't smoke anymore make it a big deal and a statement, probably because
in the past it might have been too much for some years. Come on relax...
compare yourself to cities like Hamburg or Rome where you find the rigs in
sandboxes of children's playgrounds as a regular phenomenon. Of course it's
all illegal.

Subject: (exotica) "Get Carter" soundtrack article

reprinted without permission from the Independent in London:

Uneasy listening `Get Carter' is a classic - and the soundtrack isn't bad
either. Phil Johnson reports
(Independent - London; 09/06/98)

    Jack Carter smokes Gitanes, takes drugs, and when forced by
circumstance to
 drink a pint of bitter, has the good taste to insist it comes in a straight
 glass. As played by Michael Caine, he's the English answer to Alain Delon
in Le
 Samourai, only harder. Dressed by designer Dougie Hayward in sober double-
 breasted suits and iconic black trenchcoat, with his floppy blond hair
curling
 down towards those quizzical baby-blue eyes, Caine as Carter is cooler than
 cool. In fact, he's so cool that we are more than happy to suspend our
 disbelief when faced with his trademark cockney accent. Carter is supposed
to
 be a Geordie, returning to Newcastle to avenge the murder of his brother.

    Made in 1971, Get Carter is a classic revenger's tragedy and probably the
 best British gangster movie ever. Certainly it's the most stylish, and its
cult
 reputation has grown and grown in the years since its release.  Then, it was
 savaged by the critics for its violence, with a severity that is hard to
credit
 today. Even the normally sane George Melly cautioned, in the Observer,
that the
 cinematic experience was like "a bottle of neat gin swallowed before
 breakfast"; now, this sounds like a whole- hearted recommendation. The
film has
 remained in currency through television screenings and on video (and a new
 cinema print is to be released by the BFI at the beginning of next year).
But
 the Get Carter cult has been intensified most of all by the unavailability
of
 its excellent soundtrack, written and performed by the British composer and
 pianist Roy Budd.

    While the title theme was put out as a single in Britain in 1971, the
 soundtrack album was released only in Japan and this rare vinyl artefact has
 attained such legendary status that a copy recently fetched pounds 1,500 at
 auction. Tomorrow, the original soundtrack is to be released on CD for the
 first time, in a deluxe edition which includes sleevenotes by the film's
writer
 and director, Mike Hodges. The brilliant instrumental music is mixed with
some
 extremely naff vocal tracks and a selection of dialogue excerpts, but it
 remains far more than a historical curiosity.  Get Carter is psychopathic
 lounge music par excellence, with the kind of analogue keyboard voicings
that
 DJs and record producers love to fiddle with.

    The widespread regard for the soundtrack is mainly a dance-music thing.
 Film soundtracks have long since become a favourite hunting ground for hip
DJs
 looking for a new rare groove to play in clubs, and for pop groups searching
 out obscure retro material to sample. Portishead's 1994 album Dummy
represented
 the entry of soundtrack chic into the mainstream, and the group's Adrian
Utley
 is a big Get Carter fan. "All those English cold war and gangster film
 soundtracks, like The Ipcress File and Get Carter really inspired us," he
says.
 "We were always more interested in offbeat film composers and the
minimalism of
 their work than we were in finding funky American breakbeats. What's
inspiring
 about the music to Get Carter is that it was done quickly and cheaply with
only
 a few instruments, and it had to be intensely creative to disguise its
 limitations. It made new sounds out of recognised instruments and did
tricks in
 the studio like turning the tape round backwards, or using an old Hammond
organ
 with lots of reverb. It's incredible that the soundtrack is coming out now,
 because millions of people have been looking for it for ages."

    The signature-sound of Get Carter is plucked piano strings,
electronically
 distressed with reverb until they shimmer darkly. It first appears in the
film
 in the pre-title sequence. Then it re- surfaces, in slightly different form,
 for the main theme: as Carter's train travels from King's Cross to
Newcastle's
 Central Station, Roy Budd's harpsichord and electric-piano keyboards are
 accompanied by Jeff Clyne's bass and Chris Karan's tabla-drumming for a
pulsing
 riff. As the engine puffs to a stop, the tablas echo the train's halting
 rhythm. The music - only Budd's second commission - was done on a budget of
 pounds 450 at Olympic Studios. It was recorded almost entirely by Budd
himself,
 with Clyne and Karan drafted in from the jazz trio he used to play with at
the
 Bull's Head in Barnes.

    Budd, who died in 1993 from a brain haemorrhage, was only 24 when he
 composed Get Carter. "His manager, Jack Fishman, was a friend of the film's
 producer, Michael Klinger," says Mike Hodges. "It was my first film and I
was
 influenced by the fact that Budd was young too. It's an extraordinary
score. In
 my films, I tend not to use very much music and even in Get Carter there's
not
 really a lot. With earlier films for TV, I'd tended to take tracks off
records
 and pay the needle time. But overall, a composed soundtrack gives you more
 control and it's also less costly. Roy's main theme was absolutely terrific;
 and buried in the introduction was this very simple tune that I asked him to
 extrapolate into an extra track on the vibes, and which I then used at
various
 points throughout the film."

    After Michael Caine, who gives perhaps the most effective performance
of his
 career, the film's other principal star is Newcastle itself, which is
recorded
 in all its pre-urban-renewal glory. But when Klinger first sent Hodges a
copy
 of Jack's Return Home by Ted Lewis, from which the film was adapted, the
 location was yet to be sorted. "In the book, Carter changes trains at
 Doncaster. All we know about where he then goes to is that it's a steel
town,"
 says Hodges. "I'd done my national service in the Navy on a minesweeper
looking
 after the fishing fleets and so I'd been round all the northern fishing
ports.
 The producer got his Cadillac out and we went off to scout for locations.
But
 in Hull and Grimsby there was nothing left that was visually interesting,
 they'd all been destroyed.  I persuaded Klinger to go on for one more day
and,
 although I'd been to North Shields before, I'd never driven into it from
 Newcastle."

    "Suddenly there was this incredible city, visually amazing. I'd already
 written the script so I just adjusted it to fit the locations, and the
events
 of the La Dolce Vita murder case {a recent gangland killing in Newcastle}.
 Because of previously working on World In Action, I'd always tended to
research
 subjects, even for fiction. In the film, the country house of John Osborne
(who
 plays the gang boss) was actually the house where the criminal in the real
 murder case lived. I insisted on renting it, even though the produce
thought it
 was too expensive. It was very strange and none of us liked working there,
but
 it was a wonderful location."

    Initially, Hodges had wanted Ian Hendry (who ended up playing Osborne's
 chauffeur) for the Carter role. "I'd originally seen the world of the film
as
 even seedier," he says. "But I think I was wrong because Michael Caine
probably
 understood the character of Carter better than I did. There was a kind of
 glamour around criminals like the Krays, who were photographed by David
Bailey,
 and having a hero who was handsome and well turned out made it all the more
 horrible. The ending of the book was ambiguous and the producer wanted it
left
 open for a sequel, but I knew that Carter had to die." And die he did, on a
 coal-black beach in Northumberland with Roy Budd's plucked piano strings
 shimmering in the background. As the dirty waves lap over Michael Caine's
 beautiful hair, it's enough to make even a DJ weep.

I know that Leon Redbone had a version of "Seduced" on one of his albums
years ago.

Hope this helps...
