Actually, when you know the track, it really isn't very hard to figure =

the best track they've ever done, totally rocks, and I know there are at =
least a couple people on the list that agree with me. Johan, you are usua=

besides Pete Moore plays Bacharach there's also a latin lp called
'Lively and Latin', which, to be cruel, is neither (although the liner
notes disagree). A couple of tracks are ok, so worth picking up if
cheap.  Other than that there's another track on the second(?) Inflight
cd, 'Fatman' i think.

OK, so I am gone for a year or so, and I still do have sources, plus the
occasional shoe-shine boy with the woid on the street...but I am trying to
confirm some rumours I pray to be true...I know there have been some
long-standing tangles over re-releasing Frank Comstock's MUSIC FROM OUTER
SPACE and Russ Garcia's FANTASTICA...Does anyone know whether any hurdles
are being cleared so that these transmissions may occur?  I know  few of
you have these albums, but I guess by now they are hard to find...Heck, if
found Shorty Rogers on WB, THE FOURTH DIMENSION IN SOUND(anyone know that
one, btw?  Grrrrreeeaatttt West Coast Space Age Pop Jazz), why not
Comstock?
Any other news from outer space?

     SYRACUSE, NY--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--October 26, 1998--B-Movie Theater,
the popular web site (http://www.b-movie.com) celebrating the art and
industry of the low-budget film genre, announces the first round of
inductions in the new B-Movie Hall of Fame. Located on the Internet at
http://www.b-movie.com/hof/hof.html, the B-Movie Hall of
Fame honorees were selected from over 1,000 nominations submitted by
cinephiles from around the world, who selected the classic films and most
prolific artists of the B-Movie orbit.
     "We were literally flooded with the most amazing variety of nominations
imaginable," said Ron Bonk, president and founder of the B-Movie Hall of
Fame. "Some of our inductees were expected, such as Roger Corman and 'The
Night of the Living Dead.' But other inductees were rather surprising, such
as the director Joseph Kane and the
actress Jeanne Carmen. If anything, the B-Movie Hall of Fame highlights the
extraordinary depth and scope of the B-Movie world and the many talented
individuals in this unique and wonderful section of the film industry."
     The charter members of the B-Movie Hall of Fame, categorized by artists
and classics, are listed in alphabetical order:

Subject: (exotica) Delta V/Morricone's 'Se telefonando'

Through my obsession with Ennio Morricone and in particular the song 'se
telefonando', I learnt recently that a cover version by a band called Delta
V was a summer release in Italy.  Further research on Music Boulevard
revealed that they are a trip/hip-hop band and have an album out called
'Spazio'.

So has anyone heard their version of 'se telefonando'?  I would love to know
what it's like, but couldn't find the album for sale anywhere in London.

Also, I know Francoise Hardie did a French version of the song (called 'je
changerais d'avis'), but apparently there is also an English version called
'I will change my life' - does anyone know who recorded this/on what album
etc.

Help me out here - is Gionni or anyone still on the list?

thanks
Jonny

They wouldn't have anything to do with the early 80s British band called
Delta 5, would they? That Delta 5 was on Rough Trade or a related label.
Can't recall any song titles offhand.

Yes! It is indeed a psychedlic kiddie pop album inspired by the likes of H.R.
Pufnstuf and Willy Wonka tracks. It is masterminded by Mike Alway, who gave us
last year's "Songs for the Jet Set" album. Mike himself tells me this record
will be enjoyable for anyone who liked "Jet Set."

reissued on CD or? I havent heard about it before, but it sounds
interesting, when did it reach our planet?

Dick Hymans Moon Gas has been reissued, but i guess you know that.
Fantastic album, as is Fantastica and Comstocks Music from outer space.

Yes, that sounds like a familiar title. The song I really remember (I can
still hum the bass line) had the tag line, "No -- mind your own business",
but I'm not sure if that was the title. They were part of the British
post-punk sorta funk thing. A less aggressive variant on the Gang of Four
sound.

Probably nothing to do with this current Delta V.

Subject: (exotica) St. Frances E./Psychic T.V.

A few years back the local campus radio station had a show every
Thursday midnite whose theme music was a song called St Frances E.,
by a band called Psychic T.V. The album was called Ultra House.
The song was an extremely creepy rant about the world being delivered
into Frankenstien slavery, CIA agents beat me bloody , etc etc.
I have never been able to find this album.
Can anyone tell me about Frances E. Dec? Was he a real person?
TIA

Subject: (exotica) The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds

Maybe everybody already knows about this album, but I didn't, and I'm in
total bliss after picking this up in near mint (but kinda
warped-but-playable) condition for 33 cents:

The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds", Elektra EKS-74009.  The All Music Guide site
has the year as 1967.  Original music composed, arranged and conducted by
Mort Garson, words by Jacques Wilson, electronic instruments by Paul Beaver.

It has very spacey and dopey spoken word selections about the zodiac signs,
with music that is part psychedelic-exploitation (parts of it remind me of
parts of Vampyros Lesbos) and part weird electronic effects.  This stuff is
genius.  Kind of like Eden Ahbez gone electric.  I don't remember anyone
discussing this one before, thought I'd throw it in.

That's it!  "Mind Your Own Business" is found on the used-punk-comp-bin
perennial called "Wanna Buy a Bridge?" on Rough Trade Records.

I wholeheartedly agree. Mort Garson is a genius. I just got hold of Atraxia
- - The Unexplained. The back cover is full of late 1960s psycho babble about
the unknown and the LP is full of moog wierdness and unearthly noises. Mort
Garson is also responsible for Lucifer - Black Mass (highly recommended)
and The Wozzard of Iz (also recommended), both in a similar vein. I also
have and love Electronic Hair Pieces - My current fave Moog LP - with songs
from Hair re(un)arranged. Mort's Let The Sunshine In and Easy to Be Hard
are both superb and far removed from the originals. In fact, my girlfriend
and I just used Easy to Be Hard to accompany a psychedelic 8mm cine-film
filmed inside an oil wheel lit, sensory art installation.

"Exciting Sounds" is indeed good (as you might expect from the cover,
tomorrow-woman with spider eyelashes and lashings of Mr. T
jewellery). However, the two other albums I've found by him, "Lively
and Latin" and I-Can't-Remember-The-Title, both on Rediffusion, are
pretty boring, fairly lacklustre cover versions of boring songs. This
seems to be pretty much the in-house Rediffusion style, with a few
exceptions: if you ever see the album "Silhouettes of Success" by the
Howard Blaikley Orchestra (writers of hits by Dave Dee Micky Dozy Beak
and Titch and The Honeycombs present instrumental versions of their
own songs), grab it, as it is stupendous, especially the versions of
"Hold It" and "Have I The Right".

Subject: (exotica) New releases (Partch/ McKuen)

from Forced Exposure:


_____________________________________________
INNOVA:

PARTCH, HARRY: Enclosure Five 3CD (INNO 405). "The American Composers Forum
announces the forthcoming release of the final part of its series
chronicling the life and work of Harry Partch (1901-74), one of America's
most extraordinary, yet central, composers.  Partch was a self-taught
musician, eclectic visionary, instrument-builder, microtonal theorist, gay,
sometime-hobo, who conceived and composed a Corporeal, integrated, ancient
ritual theater. Enclosure Five, the final installment of this multi-media
biography, is a 3-CD set focussing on Partch's works inspired by ancient
Greece.  It includes important works published here for the first time,
reissues of out-of-print recordings, and new performances.  With this
issue, the entirety of Partch's recorded ouevre (with one exception) is
publicly available for the first time.  Taken with the rest of the
Enclosures series and the Harry Partch Collection on CRI, we can now begin
to assess Partch's whole output. Works include: A reissue of 'Ulysses at
the Edge' with Jack Logan playing the trumpet part originally intended for
Chet Baker; 'Revelation in the Courthouse Park (after The Bacchae of
Euripides),' in its original version recorded at the University of Illinois
in 1960 and excerpted on Partch's own Gate Five records; 'King Oedipus,'
the culmination of Partch's Speech-Music period, in its original version
using the translation by W.B. Yeats.  Although Partch considered this his
most important work (it took 19 years to write) and an excellent
performance (featuring the incomparable Allen Louw as Oedipus), it was
never released because of a permission dispute; Miscellaneous short
Speech-Music works: 'By the Rivers of Babylon' (reorchestrated from the
version heard on Enclosure Two); 'Come Away, Death' from the lost
collection, December 1942. This work, for voice and guitar, appears in with
the work by Douglas Moore that inspired Partch's own setting;  and
'Minuet,' a curious Baroque duet performed by Partch and his then-student,
Ben Johnston; 'The Bewitched (A Dance Satire)' in a 1980 recording from
Cologne featuring an extraordinary performance and recording of this major
Partch work (produced by Kenneth Gaburo for the Berlin Festival, with
Danlee Mitchell, music director and Isabelle Tercero as The Witch).
Partch's own spoken introductions to two of the works are included as well
as an extensive booklet.  The Enclosures series, named after Partch's last
contemplated work and released on the Innova Recordings label of the
American Composers Forum, is the culmination of a 13-year endeavor by Dr.
Philip Blackburn, a Minnesota-based composer, performer, administrator and
scholar.  Inspired by Partch's pioneering spirit and dearth of published
materials, Blackburn worked with the Harry Partch Foundation, colleague
Kenneth Gaburo, and many others to bring Partch's singular voice to the
public, attempting to 'let Harry speak for himself.'"  $32.00

P22/ATOM SMASH RECORDS:

MCKUEN, ROD: Beatsville CD (P22 006). "Reissue of the classic 1959 LP.
First time ever on CD in an exclusive arrangement with the Stanyan Music
group. A unique look into Beat Culture. Includes 7 bonus tracks plus a font
on CD." "One of the great lost artifacts of late 50s popular culture, an
insider's portrait of a Bohemian community delivered with all the wit,
affection and stylistic confidence it deserved. This was McKuen's second
album, following Time of Desire. Beatsville was conceived  as an
affectionate send-up of the beat scene in deliberate response to the
excesses of the mass media. McKuen brought in session cats Buddy Colette,
Paul Gray and Howard Heitmeyer and taught them the basic melody lines; the
whole thing was recorded in an evening. Delivered in a pristinely
affectless all-American drawl, this is Rod at his sardonic peak. It makes
you simultaneously ache for a pad in '58 Frisco and laugh your ass off that
anyone ever took this goofy behavior seriously. I wouldn't trade one
Beatsville for a dozen Howls. Rod McKuen. Too earthy for the hippies. Too
honest for his own good. Poet. Gentleman. Millionaire. One-time teenaged
disc-jockey. Orphan. World-class character. Genius? He's strong, but he
likes roses. He's not afraid to appear ridiculous, and he doesn't. Long
live Rod McKuen -- The King of the Beats!." --Kim Cooper.  $13.00

most definitely!

he also did individual LP's for each and every Zodiac sign, which continue
along with the spoken word / electronic thing, as well as - the exact title
escapes me - Music for Sensuous Lovers by Z.  Electronics and sex.

Subject: (exotica) Servaes-Beij, Washington obits

                         *Mary Servaes-Beij
    AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- Mary Servaes-Beij, whose sentimental,
tear-jerking tunes sold more than 16 million copies, died Friday of cardiac
arrest. She was 79.
    Best known as the ``Singer Without a Name,'' Servaes-Beij's repertoire of
about 600 popular folk songs included ``Oh Daddy Dear,'' ``Mexico'' and
``Mandolin in Nicosia.'' Many of her songs contained doleful lyrics
mirroring her own difficult early life.
    In ``Oh Daddy Dear,'' she pleads in a trembling voice with her father to
stop drinking, singing, ``Mummy cries time and time again.''

                         *Albert Washington
    CINCINNATI (AP) -- Albert Washington, a blues guitarist prominent in the
1960s and '70s, died Friday of diabetes. He was 59.
    Washington, who recorded albums and performed at clubs and concerts, was
influenced by gospel music and bluesman B.B. King.
    In the late '60s, he recorded the single ``Turn on the Bright Lights,''
which The Grateful Dead covered in the 1970s.
    Washington's album in the early 1970s featured his signature song ``Wings
of a Dove,'' which combined his gospel-style singing with a pounding blues
riff.
    He enjoyed a resurgence in the late 1980s and early '90s, but illness
curtailed his ability to perform in the last few years.
