I got a copy today.  Not listened to it yet but am looking forward to
doing so later!

Another cracker recently out is Squarepusher's "Music is Rotted
One Note".  A thrashing mix of creepy, jazzy electronics in space.

Absolutely - Command only really started featuring photos after

The Enoch Light Singers' "Whoever You Are I Love You" also has a
nice Enoch shot on the back.  But I think the coolest All Star photo
has to be that of Dick Hyman on the back of Fantomfingers!!!

It would, but sadly he's no longer with us.  Not sure when he
passed away but Dick Hyman mentions the fact in my interview
with him.

I am planning eventually to have a "rogues gallery" on the Spaced
Out site, so watch this space!

I won't give them a thumbs up or down, but will note that "Music For
Reading" is verrrrry sedate to my ears. If that's what you're looking for

Just got my copy in the mail today, and it's a fantastic collection. I was
thrilled to see they included the groop's cover of Jobim's "One Note
Samba/Surfboard" from Verve's "Red Hot + Rio" collection a couple of years
back.

I was even more thrilled to see them cover the "Get Carter" theme. For a band
not known for doing covers, they sure do them well. Of course, it goes without
saying that all their original material is top-notch, too.

Casual and die-hard fans both should enjoy this album.

folks

re the Warner Brothers stereo demo series, mentioned last week .... I have
one of these, I think it's the Buddy Cole, and I'm also pretty sure it's a
UK issue. I found it in a junk shop outta town and I bought it, again, coz
the cover looked interesting, with geometric designs and cool colors. The
music IMHO is kinda secondary.  Are these things real scarce? I've not seen
any of the others, I think there were about six.

On another tip, the very wonderful ? AND THE MYSTERIANS are playing here
(London) tomorrow!!!! I gotta go see'em. Lemme know if anyone wants a report
on the gig. Now where are those wraparound shades......

Subject: (exotica) Exotica tome due in April

This title, due in April from St. Martin's Griffin, may be of interest to
members of this list. Here's the catalogue copy:

EXOTIQUARIUM: Album Art from the Space Age
by Jennifer McKnight-Trontz
Foreword by Lenny Dee

An indispensible guide to the wonderfully bizarre, fantastically retro-hip
(and highly collectible) world of space-age pop and exotica albums and
cover art.

Featuring gorgeous color photographs throughout, EXOTIQUARIUM is a giddy
guided tour through the greatest moments of 1950s' and 1960s' space-age
pop and exotica. From newly rediscovered and trendy names like Esquivel
and Yma Sumac to lesser knowns like The Melachrino Orchestra and the
Markko Polo Adventurers, this collection of bizarre and fascinating
vintage musical ephemera will enthrall both the serious collector and the
neo-Swinger weekend enthusiast. The accompany text supplies information
about the artists (both musical and visual), the (mood) music they
created, definitions of the odd instruments used to create these strange
and beautiful sounds (like the theremin), and much more. Complete with a
foreword from Lenny Dee -- Decca recording artist and "Organ Lounge
Master" -- EXOTIQUARIUM offers a complete portrait of this surreal time in
American musical history. An invaluable resource for a dynamic and
continually growing international collectors' market and a must-have for
lounge lizards new and old.

Subject: (exotica) US TV again

(eastern standard times)

I Walk Alone (1948) AMC - Monday afternoon, 4:00pm; Early Tuesday, 4:00am -
Fresh out of jail, Burt Lancaster has a grudge for his old bootlegging
partner, Kirk Douglas (bootleg alcohol, not rekkids).

Force Of Evil (1948) AMC - Tuesday morning, 6:00am - Film noir with John
Garfield as a racketeer's lawyer.

A Face In The Crowd (1957) AMC - Tuesday morning, 10:45am - Andy Griffith
as a TV star megalomaniac.

The Mad Magician (1954) AMC - Wednesday afternoon, 1:00pm - Vincent Price
as a magician who takes professional competition a wee bit too far.

Pete Kelly's Blues (1955) AMC - Wednesday afternoon, 4:15pm - Jack Webb
directs and stars as a 1920s Chicago jazz trumpeter, plagued by mobsters.
With Janet Leigh, Peggy Lee, Edmund O'Brien, Andy Devine, Jayne Mansfield
(tiny role), Ella Fitzgerald and Lee Marvin on clarinet.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (1944) AMC - Thursday afternoon, 1:15pm -
Maria Montez and Jon Hall, but no Sabu.

Son of Ali Baba (1952) AMC - Thursday afternoon, 2:45pm - Piper Laurie and
Tony Curtis. Still no Sabu.

Slaughter On Tenth Avenue (1957) AMC - Friday morning, 11:00am - Waterfront
racketeers, oft-covered theme tune.

Jesus Christ, Superstar (1973) Bravo - Friday afternoon, evening, etc,
12:30pm, 9:00pm, 1:00am - Yeah, scary, Andrew Lloyd Webbbbbber. But it's
such a heavy dose of early 70s-ism. And Carl Anderson's performance as
Judas is frighteningly intense. Some of the instrumental sequences are kind
of interesting too, mainly in the opening.

Don't Bother To Knock (1952) AMC - Friday night, 10:35pm - Marilyn Monroe
as a psycho-babysitter. With Richard Widmark, Anne Bancroft and Elisha
Cook, Jr.

Mr. Sardonicus (1961) AMC - Friday night/Saturday morning, Midnight -
Another William Castle standard. This is the one where the theater audience
got to vote on the ending.

The Killers (1946) AMC - Saturday afternoon, 12:05pm - Burt Lancaster as a
boxer run afoul of crooks. Score by Miklos Rozsa.

Bell, Book and Candle (1958) AMC - Early Sunday, 4:00am - Kim Novak, James
Stewart, Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs in a romantic comedy of hipster witches
in Manhattan.

Please, I hope you don't think of these lists as comprehensive. I scrounge
through the listings each week for my own benefit, and throw some stuff on
here to hopefully be a little helpful. But it's all very haphazard. And for
example, I know TCM has lots of good stuff, but I don't check them, because
I don't get that channel. So, take it with a grain of salt and consult your
local listings. I may be skipping something you might love.

Sad to say, my would-be mother-n-law, would she have lived, was on Command.
She was a Ray Charles Singer, and also performed with Perry Como.  We have
reason to believe, that she might have been on the I LOVE PARIS session
that Screamin Jay Hawkins recorded.  Command rarely listed its session
personell unless they were the star-variety.

To Otto, Jimmy Bee, and other Bostonians on the list...I think I've driven
by that Tiki place in Newton, but have reason to believe it might be a

 *Dick Higgins
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Dick Higgins, an influential figure in the avant-garde
movement of the early 1960s, died of a heart attack Oct. 25 while visiting
Quebec City. He was 60.
    The writer, composer, poet and artist who lived in New York City was known
for works with such esoteric titles as ``foew&ombwhnw,'' an acronym for
``freaked out electronic wizard and other marvelous bartenders who have no
wings.''
    The 1969 book of essays, whose pages featured columns of word scores,
visual poetry and essays that ran vertically from spread to spread, was
bound in leather, like a prayer book with a ribbon bookmark.
    He also founded, funded and ran several publishing companies, including
Something Else Press. Established in 1964, it published works by Gertrude
Stein, Richard Hulsenbeck, Merce Cunningham and John Cage and went out of
business in 1975.
    The Cambridge, England native played a key role in the Happenings and
concrete poetry movements. He was the co-founder of the Fluxus movement,
which accepted any activity as art and played fast and loose with definitions.

 *Paul Misraki
    PARIS (AP) -- Composer Paul Misraki, author of more than 160 cinema
soundtracks and a major influence behind the growth of swing in France, died
late Thursday or early Friday after a long illness. He was 90.
    Misraki was born in 1908 in Constantinople -- now Istanbul, Turkey -- but
spent most of his life in France. During the Nazi occupation, he moved to
Buenos Aires, Argentina, and later worked for RKO Pictures in Hollywood.
    He began playing the piano at age 4, and wrote his first piece three years
later.
    In the 1930s, he teamed up with musician Ray Ventura in France, where they
tasted success with their brand of swing. He moved into cinema in the 1940s,
composing for Orson Welles, Jacques Becker, Luis Bunuel and Jean-Luc Godard,
among others.
    Up until his death, Misraki continued to work, compiling a compact disc of
his most famous works that is due to be released within weeks, his family
said. He also wrote a dozen essays on spirituality.

In my experience, Jean Jacques Perrey has .__.always.__ cited the work of
Pierre Schaeffer and his student Pierre Henry.   He retells the tale with a
generous, and gentle humour that is lost when it is translated so
literally.

Perrey 'sampled' the methodology, never the music.

If I may again quote from a piece copyrighted and first published in May 199=
6:

"Having witnessed Pierre Schaeffer's elaborate artistry at first hand, and
hearing huge loops of sound, Perrey chose to edit his repetitions into
quirky compilations of rapid rhythms.  Utilising the environmental sounds
of musique concr=E8te, he created the LP 'Musique Electronique du Cosmos' in
1961, with just two tape machines linked together."

Equally as influential as Schaeffer upon Perrey's work, is the Dutch
composer of electronic music, Tom Dissevelt.

Though there are sure to be earlier incidences, I would nominate George
Harrison as 'maybe the first to..'  How about his 'My Sweet Lord' measured
against the Ronettes' 'He's So Fine'?

There's no maybe about it :)

I was there and remember the story. I do not recall him specifically
mentioning
that he sampled Schaeffer. (This does not meant that he did not say
that)

As a result of the write-up I did for the list, I got some email
forwarded
to me from Brian Phillips (Thanks again, Brian!) Seems Brian sent my
post =

to someone who passed it on to JJP. Mr. Perrey sent me a very nice note.
I replied, but have not heard back. If I do start a correspondence with
him,
I will endeavor to settle this once and for all.

This the gist I got from Perreys story. Personally, I do not think that =

it matters, except as a point of fact. It would just make Perrey
responsible
for another first: Being the first to sample other artist works and
incorporate
into his own unique composition a'la the DJ's of the present. (With whom
Perrey
is quite impressed.)

HA! I always thought the tune was a bit derivative of Telstar, or maybe
the other way around...I neve paid attention to the chronology.

I always thought Stanley Clarke's "School Days" sounded like a cop of the
Banana Splits theme.

Remember fusion? I've *tried* to forget.

Whoopsie! I got my hookups confused... I am indebted o Brian for a

The folks on this list are all so good to me, I can hardly keep y'all

Thanks again Lou. Even if I did get confused. That Email was a THRILL

I will try the postal address if I can remember how to put pen to paper.

Subject: (exotica) Peggy Lee suffers a stroke

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Peggy Lee, the smoky-voiced singer-composer famous for
such songs as ``Is That All There Is?'' and ``Fever,'' has been hospitalized
after suffering a stroke.
    Nicki Lee Foster said her 78-year-old mother had the stroke Oct. 27.
    ``She's conscious and her family has been with her,'' she said Monday,
refusing to say where her mother was hospitalized.
    Ms. Foster said doctors were trying to determine whether the stroke caused
permanent damage.
    Miss Lee is best known for the hit song ``Fever,'' remade by numerous
artists, including Madonna. She won a Grammy in 1969 for the song ``Is That
All There Is?''
    A diabetic, Miss Lee has been troubled by a number of health problems. In
1961, she contracted double pneumonia. In 1976, she had a near-fatal fall in
a New York hotel and was seriously injured in a fall in Las Vegas in 1987.
    In early 1985, she underwent four angioplasties -- balloon surgery to open
clogged arteries. While appearing in New Orleans in October 1985, she
underwent double-bypass heart surgery.
