yeah, that album's a killer. "DeSade" was an AIP drive-in flick starring a
pre-2001:A Space Oddysey Keir Dullea, with Senta Berger and John Huston.
The screenplay was by Richard Matheson, who scripted a number of classic
Twilight Zone episodes. There was a 'legit' stage play and film about the
Marquis DeSade in the mid-60's, so this film was quick cash in. I remember
the film playing at my local drive-in, but was a bit too young to see it.
The soundtrack has some great whipping sound fx on it; the greatest cut is
called "Bacchanalia". Worth finding.

Subject: (exotica) Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos

A nice 1998 release I received for Christmas:

"Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos (The Prosthetic Cubans)" (Atlantic)

From Tom Waits sideman (guitarist), Marc Ribot, this is a tribute to Cuban
composer/guitarist, Arsenio Rodriguez -- most tracks are Rodriguez
compositions. A Cuban/Latin/jazz/R&B blend, with a nice "live band in a
room" feeling (recorded in Hoboken, NJ). The core band is Ribot on guitar,
Brad Jones on bass, EJ Rodriguez and Robert J. Rodriguez on percussion.
Most tracks also feature interesting organ coloring by (either) John
Medeski or Anthony Coleman. It's mainly instrumental, with vocals on two
tracks. It occasionally strays into guitar noodling territory, but on the
whole I find it pretty tasty. I think it fits nicely into the grand old
vinyl tradition of Latin/Anglo blending -- even if it is a "High Definition
Compatible Digital" cee-dee.

"Bloomdido" by Charlie Parker.  Not my favorite at all - that would be
"Summertime" on the Parker LP "The Verve Year: 1948-1950."  Lovely strings,
best version of the song ever recorded?

I was up at 5:30 am this morning, just like I am everyday.  Oh, I still got my
8 hours in, because my wife and I were fast asleep well before midnight.

First LP on the turntable at 6am over coffee was nineteen minute "Sparky's
Music Mix-Up", the flip side to the copy of "Rusty In Orchestraville" I have.

It was a bonus track I was adding to complete a CD I made for a fellow listee.

Didn't want you to think I was a little odd or anything......

I think that you might be confusing this with Ray Martin's album
"Thunderball...and other thriller music" where he does indeed do the
theme to Honey West, (in my mind, better than the orig. soundtrack
version.)

On the aforementioned "Goldfinger and other...JB thrillers" the tunes
"Galore's theme", "Honey's Theme" and "Bonds Lament" are attributed to
"Economides,Jr." The front cover says that they are "from the film
Goldfinger". Does anyone know for a fact if this Jr. Economides did any
of the non-Barry music to Goldfinger, there is no indication from the
orig.soundtrack. It could be a pseudonym?

Sergio Mendes' New Year's Eve show last night was stellar

the show opened with some mediocre 80s style Brasilian tunes then Sergio
announced they'd do some of their old stuff and they launched into a brief
history of Brasil '66 - about 6 tunes including Going Out of My Head & Girl
from Ipanema which Sergio sang in Portuguese! - that started with two Sambas
and ended with late 70s B'66 stuff
After a couple of contemporary covers to please the older (I'm talkin average
age over 45), mainstream crowd the band did more vintage B'66
Fool on the Hill and Mas Que Nada (TWICE, I think Sergio messed up and
launched into it about three tunes after they had already played it!?)

the set was 1.5 hours plus a two song encore

The only cover of theirs that they didn't play that I really dig was After
Midnight. So I dj'ed that right after their set and the crowd started dancing
again. I was only supposed to dj for 15 minutes but the crowd kept dancing and
Limbo-ing so I got to spin for 30 minutes at the end of the night.

"Chicambo Safari" by svedish oddball Povel Ramel. Cant remember the
exact time but our new year was some hours old. It is much in the same
vein as Slim Gaillards "Soony Roony (Song of Yxabat)" Also from the
early 50s.

Subject: (exotica) Walk on By

A few days ago I heard a mindblowingly great version of Bacharach's "Walk
on By" on the radio.  Unfortunately they didn't announce who performed it.
It almost had to be Isaac Hayes, but conceivably could have been Teddy
Pendergrass or someone else of that ilk.  It was very slow and had some
fuzz guitar breaks that would not have sounded out of place on a Portishead
album (probably was sampled by Portishead...).  I must have this in my
collection.  Anyone know for sure if it's Isaac and what album to look for
if so?

First LP played in 1999:  The Versatile Sounds of Henry Mancini.
First LPs bought in 1999:  Caesar Giovannini - The Brilliant Sound of
Pianos and Percussion
                                                  Les Baxter - Ports of

Doubtful.  These references almost certainly refer to Jim Economides, who
was a record producer at Capitol Records in the period around 1963.  He
produced for (at least) The Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Dick Dale, Johnny
Burnette and The Lettermen.  He then went on to produce a couple of early
Marc Bolan singles in 1964/5.

Sounds like the Hayes version to me. It's contained on "Hot Buttered Soul"
or "The Best of Isaac Hayes Volume 1".

I don't believe Portishead sampled this particular Hayes track, but
Hooverphonic certainly did on the song "2 Wicky" (A Stereophonic Sound
Spectacular) & Mono on "Silicone" (Formica Blues).

One of my own, actually (a twangy thang, in no way related
to The Ventures or The Ventures Thread, at least not that I'm
aware of), mainly because I was busy composing it, but that
doesn't count, of course. I taped a Belle and Sebastian concert
broadcast earlier this week on Dutch radio, heard about them
first on this list, didn't know quite what to expect, though.
Played the tape this evening and I like'm, I think... anyway,
especially "Sleep the clock around" was appealing.

Subject: (exotica) New "Lounge"/Exotica labels

Question from me, who has not been good about finding new groups doing
music I like because I am so involved for now in rediscovering the old stuff:

What labels have issued new "lounge" or "exotica" type music?  Someone
asked me this question today and I am interested in the answer myself.

If at all possible, an address or phone number would be nice as well.  Feel
free to send the reply just to me, although the list may also benefit from
the info.

Someone else also asked me a question I couldn't answer, but it has slipped
my mind...maybe I'll get to that later.

As to what was the first music I played in 1999, it was a cut from a Henry
Mancini soundtrack:  The Moveable Feast from the movie "Who is Killing The
Great Chefs of Europe?"  Not for any particular purpose, just because I had
never heard it...certainly not great Mancini, but interesting nevertheless.

It's a five disc set from bear-family.com on Ann Margaret.

Like I said, it looks VERY interesting, but at over $150+, i'd like to know

this up? If so, opinions?

You weren't too far off guessing Portishead -- Isaac Haye's version of "Walk

album.

Jerry Cole and His Spacemen. 60's surf band. Though I have no idea what
they sound like, I know that their promotional single was packaged as an
"extra" with a Dick Dale/Deltones lp. Sounds like you may have a good
find. Of course if on Crown, this Jerry Cole may have been an Andorran
folk-picker playing for beer in front of Gelsons.

1st lp played John Evans and The Big Band ("featuring the incredible
Chaino"): Exotic Percussion and Brilliant Brass) - those Hi-Fi tiger

"Bloomdido" WAS my introduction to Charlie Parker. Back in 1973 a Boston-based
band called The Chris Rhodes Band (featuring monster guitarist David Landau,
brother of Jon) played "Bloomdido" as part of a cover medley (although most of
their stuff was original) in which they included What's Going On, The Creator
Has A Master Plan, and Superfly. I love that song, Bloomdido. Thanks for
mentioning it

Ay ay ay - I didn't know that but it confirms my feeling that Mono
are merely "Portishead Ultra Lite".  Yuk.

His 1995 CD was a big disappointment, compared with
the stuff on Crown which was very similar to the
recently discussed Ventures, and of good quality.
It is reputed that Cole is a midget (sorry if that's not pc)

Subject: (exotica) Luis Frank y su tradicional Habana feat. Sandra Granados

While Christmas records of record companies are usually la cr=E9me de la
shit, Motor put one out in collaboration with TV-travelling magazine
"voxtours", that disproved this prejudice: "Tropical Christmas" by "Luis
Frank y su tradicional Habana".
"The Cuban-based combo gives the well-known Christmas-songs a whole new
flair" says the booklet, and believe it or not: it's true! The selection
is heavily influenced by the Phil Spector Christmas album, and
consequently I had "Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer", who comes as "Rodolfo
el Reno de la Nar=EDz",  in my ears for entire 3 days. "Frosty The
Snowman" is "El Muneco de N=EDeve", but my clear favorite is a version of
"Leise rieselt der Schnee"-"La N=EDeve cae on S=EDlenc=EDo", truly beauti=
ful!
The music is basic Latin, nothing too avantgardistic, but has a very
nice, clear, up-to-date acoustic sound.

Subject: (exotica) Austin Powers 2 soundtrack

In addition to appearing in the films as themselves, Entertainment Weekly
reports that Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello have recorded a cover of Burt's
own "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" for the "Austin Powers: The Spy Who
Shagged Me" soundtrack.

That's encouraging news for that album. The first "Austin Powers" soundtrack
is the most lounge-friendly of its kind, with a good mix of retro and now
sounds. Even a year and a half later, I still play it repeatedly.

I had forgotten that this question was asked but there was deliberate
perversity involved in my decision to spend my New Year's Eve cleaning my
floors and making a Rod McKuen tape.
The first side of the tape is Rod "singing". The second side comes from
those spoken-word-with-music "Sea", "Earth" etc records he made with Anita
Kerr, which by the way are great records - even veering into exotica - if
you've always passed them up.
After midnight, I was finished the singing side and started the spoken word
side.  And the first cut is "The Storm" from "The Sea".

The words were perfect for the beginning of a new year.  They would have
been even more perfect if I wasn't alone but I just projected.

"How can we be sure of anything?
The tide changes
The wind that made the grain wave gently yesterday
Blows down the trees tomorrow
And the sea sends sailors crashing on the rocks
As easily as it guides them safely home.

I love the sea.
But it doesn't make me less afraid of it.

I love you
But I'm not always sure what you are.....

...Always worrying
Always sure a storm is rising".

Happy New Year!

Nat... who remembers what it was like when the storms were rising and sort
of hopes to experience them again soon

Well, I've gotta contest your use of the word "update" in this context.  I
would accept "dumb-down" in its place.

The Ventures took a Johnny Smith tune which in the original version is much
more musically complex, and created a superficial rendition with all of the
subtlety & nuance removed(& most of the appeal IMHO) .  Cf. Johnny Smith:
Kaleidoscope Verve    V6-8737 and/or Chet Atkins: Hi-Fi in Focus (?) for superior
(but sadly less commercial) recordings.

Crankily,

Subject: (exotica) An Exotic Present from Ross

Hey all--

You know I really do love this list. . . so to say thanks, this year I
decided I would create a special present for anyone who wants it.  No, this
isn't some dorky snowman animation.  It is with the very greatest pride
that I unveil. . .

The "Dilo" Collection!

Banish all wintery thoughts, with these digitized sounds for your
computer--in which the inimitable Perez Prado bursts out with the
neck-snapping "Ugh!" shouts which so often punctuated his music.

The Dilo Collection includes not only the classic "Ugh!" but also, for your
listening pleasure, "Agh!"--and, for a limited time only, "Aargh!"

I have these in both Macintosh System and Microsoft WAV formats, suitable
for use as your computer's alert beep. These are downsampled to 8 bits to
keep the files small (12-17K)--so I hope you'll forgive a bit of hiss.

(I also hope I guessed the right sample rate for you Windowsers--anyone
know if 22,050 is OK?)

Just send me an email with your preference of which sound(s) and which
format you'd like, and I'll email them out to you.

Happy 1999, y'all!

Joyce - Caqui (from the The Essential Joyce 1970-96 (Mr Bongo)).

But I still think her best track is Aldeia de Ogum...

I don't know anything about this set, but I can tell you that Bear Family
does some awesome sets.  This is likely the COMPLETE RCA catalog plus other
stuff and comes with a wonderful book with all sorts of photos and graphics
rarely seen.  At least that is what they did with the Eartha Kitt boxed
set.  I have a friend who has bought many of the Bear Family sets and he
raves about all of them.

I have friends who contribute to various Bear Family sets and when I hear
about the "projects" - like this Canadian rockabilly compilation that's in
the works - I always think "Cool".
But usually when I see or occasionally buy a Bear Family release, my
reaction is different.
They're very thorough.  And for me that's a good news/bad news situation.
I know that for some collectors there's no such thing as "overkill" but
there is for me.
They say "Here's everything this artist ever did" and I think "Couldn't you
at least have broken it up a bit more?  Released it in single volumes?"
Examples?  Well five Ann Margaret CD's could be an example of overkill for
me.  But I'm thinking of another example.  Problem is I can't remember if
it actually came out on Bear Family.
In fact I think it came out on "Razor and Tie", a label I have a similar
problem with.
The CD in question was a double Les Paul compilation.
It went from early Les Paul in a sort of country/bluegrass context, through
his whole career including backing up singers such as Bing Crosby etc.
It was very interesting to hear the range of things he did.  And some of
the Bing Crosby cuts for instance were real revelations, at least as far as
Bing went.
But as far as just slapping the discs on and settling back, the thing
didn't really work for me.
Which might just be a problem I have with most boxed sets.
I think I'd even say the same thing for "100% Cotton" which I finally broke
down and bought.
I guess I'm just not that kind of collector.
So I'm not criticizing Bear Family and I'm glad they exist but I guess I'd
rather have a friend of mine buy the Ann Margaret set and then make me one
cool compilation tape.
And I guess that's the very reason the lousy so-and-so's in the government
up here just slapped a huge new tax on all blank recording tapes and CDR's.
No one knows the amount of the tax yet but it could be as much as a buck a
tape and probably the same for CDR's.
Those lousy musician lobby groups!  I make myself a tape from a bunch of
records I found in a garbage heap somewhere and I have to pay a buck to
Celine Dion!!
Aaarrgh!

Nat

Subject: (exotica) ominous obituary

An unidentified frozen body was found in a field outside Toronto last week.
Now the body has been identified.
No, it wasn't Hagood Hardy or Peter Appelyard or some other local luminary
of vague relevance to this list.
It was some salesman.  Can't remember his name.
So why do I post it to this list?
The last time the late salesman was seen alive was coming out of a bar
where he had spent the night with friends.
The name of the bar.....

EXOTICA !!!

Cause of death is said to be "suspicious".  I'll say.
