American actor Richard Thomas complained that he hated the dubbed version
of his film "Battle Beyond the Sun" because they used the same actor for
his voice there as they used for him on the TV series "The Waltons."  John
Boy on German TV might have sounded like a boy, but when Richard Thomas
played a man about to save a Planet from the forces of galactic evil, the
little boy's voice didn't quite cut it.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

But certainly not alone on him...Not every musician who was turned on to
the synthesizer, when first hearing it, knew JJPerrey, but still was
able to see the possibilities of the instrument and started using it. If
you ask Kraftwerk for instance, they knew Oscar Sala personally and a
few other cracks who invented the machines and that turned them on to
play around with it. A synthesizer dealer from Bonn even claims HE
turned Kraftwerk on to using the Moog.

I know this is an unusual and probably off-topic request but I've been
searching for the sheet music (for piano) for Michel Legrands 'Windmills of
your Mind' for a long time but with no luck. Does anybody on the list know
where I could find it please?

Thanks a lot.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Give me SWINGCUSSION!

>Question; what exactly do you mean not enjoyable for the easily disturbed?
And >experimentation with tunefulness.  Are you implying that this is some
sort of 12 >tone, or otherwise dissonant music that some would find troubling?

I will try to describe this album.  I believe I have all of Sauter-Finegan's
studio recordings and "Adventure in Time" is actually my least favorite album.
This is a percussion album, but not like "Persuasive Percussion" or a Dick
Schory album.  It pre-dates these and David Carroll's Percussion in Hi-Fi.
These are what one might call "melodic" percussion albums.  Most of the tracks
on Sauter-Finegan's "Adventure in Time" don't even have a tune or utilize
melodic instruments but are all percussion.  "Swingcussion" is probably the
most listenable track on the album for this reason.

Sauter-Finegan do get into what you might call twelve-tone territory on some
of their other recordings.  The one that comes to mind is their album "Inside
Sauter-Finegan".  There is a tune on it called "Wild Wings in the Woods" which
sounds very much like Messiaen or Schoenberg to me.  This type of
experimentation is still a little too "way out" for me.  I prefer their more
accessible material.  Sauter-Finegan can be experimental in other ways that
are more appealing to me.  Their album "Concert Jazz" has a long piece on it
called "Adventures in Sauter-Finegan Land" which has spoken narration
describing a trek across the U.S.A.   It begins with snowfall in Vermont onto
Power House-like steel mills to square dance, prairie and cowboy themes.  It's
a one-of-a-kind oddity.  This album along with "Under Analysis" are both very
good without being too inaccessible.  Byron's comparison to Rugolo was right
on.

Sauter-Finegan disbanded in the mid-fifties before the hi-fi and stereo craze
hit.  They were a few years ahead of their time.  When United Artists
introduced their Wall-to-Wall Sound series, Sauter-Finegan re-formed to create
two exceptional albums, "Return of the Doodletown Fifers" which is made up of
earlier material but re-arranged for stereo fanatics  and "Pops" (re-released
under the name "Lullaby of the Leaves").  Both of these come highly
recommended.

From: Peter Hipwell <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) New Peter Thomas Comp.

I just picked up a new Peter Thomas compilation, "Moonflowers and
Miniskirts" on Marina Records (MA 39). It was released yesterday. I
haven't listened to it yet, but I figured folks would be interested
enough without my wittering (I didn't notice any earlier mentions of
it). Here is the blurb from http://www.marina.com/

Peter Thomas

"While America had the smooth jazz of Henry Mancini, Italy the lush
atmospherics of Ennio Morricone, England the bold brass of John Barry,
and France the moog experimentation of Jean Jacques Perry, Germany had
all these rolled into one - Peter Thomas!" (The Millionaire/Combustible
Edison)

He has written uncountable scores for movies and television, has been
rediscovered and sampled by Pulp (whose single "This Is Hardcore" is
almost entirely built on a Thomas sample), The High Llamas, Stereolab
and Air, and some call him the German John Barry: Peter Thomas, musical
madman & daring sound innovator extraordinaire.

While he is best known for his music for two internationally successful
movie series - the Edgar Wallace Mysteries and the Jerry Cotton agent
films - and his score for the sci-fi TV series "Space Patrol"
(Raumpatrouille Orion), the Marina compilation "Moonflowers &
Mini-Skirts" (MA 39) - a collection of recordings from the late sixties
and early seventies - concentrates on a whole new aspect (and so far
undocumented part) of his career. In the late sixties Thomas started to
combine his unique soundscapes (as always based on mad, blazing horn
riffs & hard-hitting percussion) with funky rhythms & weird electronics.
Powered by an incredible, high-wired rhythm section consisting of
Germany┤s best studio and jazz musicians (including Siggi Schwab of
"Vampyros Lesbos" fame on guitar and Lothar Meid of Amon Dⁿⁿl II on
bass!) Thomas created "sonic explosions with enough force to put a man
(with his woman) on the moon" (John Bender). Thomas - who was actively
involved in the compilation - takes great pride in the fact that all
tracks collected here were recorded live with no overdubs. Thomas:
"Recording live gives you that certain adrenaline rush that allows you
to push your music over the edge - and that┤s where I always wanted to
go".

Most of the tracks documented on "Moonflowers & Mini-Skirts" were
recorded as library music and are released here for the first time
commercially. The compilation - described by Thomas himself as "the best
documentation of my work ever" - also features several unreleased film
and TV themes from the late sixties and early seventies incl. the theme
to the ski-bum-flick "Happening In White" (1969) - directed by Brigitte
Bardot┤s ex-husband Gunter Sachs. The compilation is rounded off by
three super-rare vocal nuggets by actresses Uschi Glas & Senta Berger
and - yes, indeed - Mrs. Donna Summer: "Black Power" is her first ever &
so far commercially unreleased recording (recorded in 1969 for the TV
thriller series "11 Uhr 20") - a true collector┤s item (if there ever
was one).

Listening to these 19 tracks now they sound as powerful, mad, daring and
inventive as they did almost 30 years ago - a fact that says a lot about
the uniqueness of Mr. Thomas┤ sound. Release date: October 19, 1998.

The opening track "Opium" - Thomas┤ answer to Blaxploitation-Funk &
Philly-Soul - is also available on a limited 12" (MA 41) featuring mixes
by The Maxwell Implosion. Release date: October 19, 1998.

Tracks:

1.  Opium
2.  Multi-Kolored Mini-Skirts
3.  Black Power (vocal: Donna Summer)
4.  11 Uhr 20 (main theme)
5.  Pozzolico
6.  Milky Way
7.  Under Control
8.  Moonflower Q 70
9.  Vergiss┤ Mich, Wenn Du Kannst (vocal: Senta Berger)
10. Rockin┤ Computer
11. Power Boost
12. Spiral Angst
13. Meeting Palermo
14. Flash Point
15. Mein Wochenende (vocal: Uschi Glas)
16. Happening In White (main theme)
17. Beige Turtleneck
18. Malaparte Sinus
19. Minoti On The Run

Arranged & produced by Peter Thomas
All tracks written by Peter Thomas

Absolutely. The german Schlager especially of the 60s is full of foreign
names and vocals with accent. Being (or at least sounding) international
was the thing. The post-3rd Reich generation had to draw a line between
them and the ugly german past. So the scene was full of singers from
france, italy, denmark, sweden, england, america and holland.  It was so
essential to have a foreign accent, that even some born germans sang
with an accent, like Drafi Deutscher, despite his chosen artists name! A
guy named Gerd H=F6llerich called himself Roy Black and became a
Schlager-superstar.And who could resist it. Nobody had ever before used
the german language as cute and sexy as France Gall. Compared to her,
stars like Marlene Dietrich and Zarah leander really had this harsh tone
in their voices that Nat was talking about. Even a Lotte Lenya might be
appreciated for a lot of things, but probably not for being all too
groovy and sexy. (BTW: Her COMPLETE works are out on CD now, 11 discs
with altogether 14 hours of music, including her only american LP with
Louis Armstrong). No, the age of the Schlager was the age of the
beginning of the european idea, when shows in german TV were called EWG
(like European Economical Community) and Eurovision with international
shows like "Spiel ohne Grenzen" ("game without borders") and the
european song contest had its haydays. We had our own melting pot here.

In the central european area, in austrian, swiss and bavarian music, either
classical like the Vienna waltz or folkish as in the jodeling world of the
alps, you find a lot of 3/4 and 6/8 rhythms and in my personal opinion this
would be the rhythm that fits the german language best. And not the march,
which is seldom vocal. Since rock conquered the world these waltz rhythms are
rather out. But I think it's unfair to call them ungroovy just because they're
not hip. Isn't the waltz an integral part of hillbilly and certain stomp
rhythms of the American past?

I was one of the posters looking for this - who'da thunk it?  In Bowling

Subject: (exotica) Lorraine Bowen no joke

I'm sitting in my office about to go into a very important meeting
with my boss and 6 other important people in my life and the phone
rings and this wonderful voice says her name is " Lorraine Bowen"

I go " you must be kidding me" ,  my mind races and I'm trying to
figure out who is playing this joke on me.

Anyway she sang Julie Christie on the phone to me and she had me
laughing out loud for 10 minutes while the meeting waited for me to
show up.

She has a wonderful personality.  She said the check I sent in July to
Canada will be honored by the lady whose been in England.  She will be
sending me more info and I will post that as soon as it comes.  You
may write her at the following address:

PO Box 112 Danbury

Subject: (exotica) Beau Hunks in concert

Fridayevening saw the Beau Hunks and their Raymond Scott Big Band Project
play in Utrecht, the last date on a short Dutch tour. The two earlier CD's
with Scott stuff were recorded with an 8 piece band but this time they
attacked the material with a 25 piece orchestra which most of it were
wind-instruments. Sounded HUGE. Almost all the songs they played were new
material dug up and transcribed from the Scott-archive. Except for two or
three big band numbers (which sounding too "normal" I didn't like) and  a
few chambremusic pieces, the rest were all quirky noveltyinstrumentals in
the inimitable Scott & Beau Hunks style. Most of the songs do sound EXACTLY
like you would expect them to sound concerning their titles. Uncanny. Great
to watch this performed live. Lucky me, they were also recording this
particular gig for a
future CD release so I did my best to cough at the appropriate moments.


Tracklist: Powerhouse, Dreary Weather on 6th Avenue, Tia Juana, Two Young
Lads in Saxophone School, Christmas Night in Harlem, In an 18th Century
Drawing Room, War Dance for Wooden Indians, Hertz Theme, Mexican Jumping
Bean, Kodachrome, Rococo, Carrier Pigeon, Egyptian Summer, The Bullfighter &
his piccolo, Minor Prelude, Fifinella, Naked City, Birdseed Special, Secret
Agent, Symphony under the Stars, Boy Scout in Switzerland, Confusion among a
Fleet of Taxicabs upon meeting with a Fare

Subject: Re: (exotica) the elusive Lorraine Bowen

In the summer of 1996, I managed to catch her live in London, and she
was absolutely hilarious. She was wearing an extremely campy 60's dress
with large flowers, and was playing the casiotone and a crumhorn, of all
things (unless it was an umbrella handle)! The following day I went to
Rough Trade and bought her "Greatest Hits Volume 1", which, however, was
rather disappointing without the visual impact, and I haven't really
played very it much. But she was certainly great live!

I have a copy of it (so if you send me your fax/snailmail address, I'll
see what I can do) in a volume called "Michel Legrand 16 Chansons" from
1974, with no publisher mentioned whatsoever, unless it's "Productions

For a while I toyed with the idea of making a death metal cover of the
song to be titled "The Sawmills of Your Mind", but the sacrilegous
aspects aside,I don't seem to have the time...
