Somebody stop me if this thread is getting too far afield, but it seems that
these issues will affect us all.

I BELIEVE that one can make multiple copies of digital music recorded to the
"data" type of disks since they do not have the ID codes embedded in them.
Anyone withe that type of equipment setup willing to test this theory can
contact me off-list. I will send a disk recorded on the NON-serialized
media.
If you can make multiple copies, it will prove the theory correct.

Don't have the bubblehat lp, obviously, but do have an extra copy of

of Quiet Village) which I would gladly trade.

Also would be glad to trade Baxter, Denny, Lyman, Ventures, moog

in a related vein, does anyone know if the VHS issues of Ms. Bardot's films
that have become available in the US are in french strictly, or are they
subtitled?  The package says nothing about subtitles, so I'm reluctant to
buy them, since I don't know french.

But I really want to see a Bardot film....

Does anyone else feel like these comps really don't cut it?
I'm pretty happy with most of the other UL selections I've got, but these
are really...
Well, mostly pretty lame.

I mean, maybe it's not their fault.  Maybe most rock covers like this are
just crappy.  Still, if you're going to do two volumes, you'd expect them
to be better.  I'd say there's maybe twelve total that are good, the rest
are pretty sucky.

On the flip side, they seem to be approaching it with the "so bad, it's
good" theory, like the Zacharias cuts.  Ho ho ho.  I want my money back.

Just kidding, but still, they could have done either more research, or just
one volume.


Anyone else feel this way?

Subject: (exotica) Recent finds revisited

My thrift store finds over the holidays...

"Spectacular Percussion Goes Latin" by Roger King Mozian and his
Orchestra . It has a cha-cha version of "Put on a Happy Face" and a
slinky version of "Sound of Music". Who is this guy? It is very well
done.

Another cool find : Swingin' Sounds for Secret Agents (Columbia) with a
great version of "Secret Agent Man" by Mel Torme, Third Man Theme by Ray
Conniff Orch. (more tolerable than most Conniff, IMHO) and a nerdy
version of Goldfinger by Bobby Vinton (imagine your high school english
teacher sining it...) plus "OO7" and "James Bond Theme" by John Barry
and Orchestra.

A great find (IMHO) : Cheganca by the Walter Wanderly Trio. A great pick
me up for the dreary winter season.

"Something Hip" (I think; the record is at home) by Ninapinta and his
Bongos and Congas (where's Santa Maria?). Bongo/conga Latin versions of
the Beatles "Help!" and "(I can't get no) Satisfaction"

All in all, a fine catch...

I agree they're a bit lacking. One disc would have been enough.

What I feel slighted on is how the Ultra-Lounge series seemingly has come to a
halt. Where's that "Tiki Sampler" that was supposed to come out this past
summer? And those new "Wild, Cool and Swingin'" volumes? Anyone?

>>>I think both have pieces extracted on one or more of the compilations but
the original Popcorn (as written &

better (IMHO) than the more known "Hot Butter" version.<<<

Speaking of Hot Butter's version of "Popcorn," it appears on a nifty little
compilation from '97 on the Hip-O label, "Synth Me Up: 14 Classic Electronic
Hits." The emphasis here is on the synth-cheese, i.e. Giorgio Moroder's "The
Chase" or Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme." Still, it does house the occasional
gem, like Art of Noise's "Peter Gunn Theme" with Duane Eddy.

All in all, it's a great disc for those into that type of thing. Anyone know
of any other cheesy electronic collections worth owning?

It is a Pete Rugolo rekkid that has versions of soundtrack musics that
"back" her films, hence the title, but she is buff-behinded on the cover!

They are lame because it features a lot of pre-rock singers trying to "get
with it" in the later part of the 60s. I will be a bit dissident here by
saying I think its entertaining to see a lot of these performers singing those
kind of songs, sometimes with hilarious results like "Yummy Yummy," and "Hard
Days Night," the later performed by Peggy Lee and the former by Julie London.

Subject: (exotica) Intercontinental review

The London Evening Standard of January 4th did a page
of reviews of potentially bad taste places to visit around
the world, including
- - The Liberace Museum, Las Vegas (..'please beware of the
exhibits - they may damage your eyesight'...)
- - Dollywood, TN
- - The Dutch community museum in Nagasaki (..'East of Edam'..)
- - Bullfighting, Spain
- - Convento dei Cappuccini, Italy  (8,000 bodies preserved
in arsenic and vinegar)
- - Ceausescu's palaces in Romania (..'for the first time we
shall provide the authentic experience of a dictator'...)
and finally:
The Tonga Restaurant and Hurricane Bar,
Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco
'Witness the Tonga's house band floating before you in
a tropical pool as they labour through Tony Bennett's
back catalogue.  The whole South Sea Island experience
ends in a simulated tropical rainstorm - complete with
thunder and lightning'
Any reader visited this place?  There is a picture in the
review, and it looks pretty cool.

Hugh.

"Contempt" is scheduled on Bravo tomorrow (Friday) at 4:00pm and 4:00am
(technically Saturday morning). But between the censor snips and the
commercial interruptions, it's almost just too depressing to consider...
Bravo's really gone down the drain over the years.

Also, watch for lots of Elvis TV tomorrow. Happy Elvis Day!

I'm afraid I will have to disagree here, it is extremely well done,
see for yourself:

I would rather recommend Edam itself as a bad taste place...

Also the Godley & Creme triple album "Consequences" which features hilarious
comedy by Peter Cook between the songs would be fantastic to have on CD.  My

"The Beat generation" by Bob McFadden & Dor... yes, McKuen = McFadden;

'For Lovers' - Rod McKuen and Anita Kerr
(supposedly 'a collaboration between America's premier poet and first

laugh.  Especially the poem about apples...
but no singing, he gets someone else in for one track i think.

re: an earlier post of Johan's, I may be wrong on this but i thought the
'beat' in 'beat poet' meant 'beat' as in 'beat up' or 'i feel beat' i.e.
tired(? my american slang is pretty limited), rather than 'beat' as in
drum etc.  Is this right? i know i originally thought the latter too.

This morning, their office caught fire. Without a sprinkler system, they
just turned on the fire hoses. Our office, which never had a chance to dry
out from the first drenching, is now one soggy drippy mess. I'm not sure
when we'll be dry or when they'll return my good PC (the one with all my
bookmarks, newsreader, browser, etc.). In other words, I'm not sure when
I'll have access to any info worth passing on to you fine folks.

However, I can pass this message along. This is in reference to the volume
of Exotica essays, to be published by an Australian academic organization,
which we discussed several moons back.

I don't buy this stuff on CD (he said proudly) but if these compilations
are lame, I would assume it's for two reasons:

1) They consider the lame stuff to be the REAL stuff.
2) They have a limited number of labels to choose from.

To me, practically no instrumental cover of a sixties tune is exactly lame.
 There is some stuff that's "kinda lame" like The Hollyridge Strings and
Ronnie Aldrich and his Two Pianos but even they have their moments when
they're actually "pretty good"... or "not that lame at all".
I certainly prefer the "pretty hot" stuff like Sandy Nelson.(some) Living
Guitars, (some) Brass Ring, and (some) Tony Mottola.
And then there are the odd cool surprises like "'Lectric Woods" or "The
Senate".
And then there's the really hot stuff like Bud Shank and Howard Roberts and
that Bob Thiele record with Bill Plummer where they do "light my fire".

BUT all that really good stuff is almost too good.  Just like something can
be so bad it's good, I think there should also be a category for "so good
it's bad".

It's as if this kind of stuff has to contain a certain degree of cheese or
schmaltz or "camp" content or it's somehow disappointing.

Which is why the Zacharias record I have is so perfect.  What Zacharias
stuff is on the comps?  The record I have has these great versions of
"Respect", "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "Always something there to remind me",
among others and it  walks the fine line between smart and stupid better
than practically anything I can think of.

Given a choice I guess I'd listen to "instrumental rock" rather than
"cheesy covers" but if I were to make a compilation for someone and it was
supposed to represent the era when this music was made, I think I'd err on
the side of cheese and/or lame.

Did anyone understand that?

Nat

Subject: (exotica) Pete Rugolo's Music From Out of Space

I was curious to see what others thought of Rugolo's space LP. It's not one of
the top 5 or 10 space LPs,  and not as good as Ripper, Thriller, or Richard
Diamond, but I  like it.  Pete's version of "Snowfall" (originally from Music
for Hi-Fi Bugs) is cool and hypnotic.  It also has the most bizarre version of
"These Foolish Things" I have ever heard.

I  think it's amazing, too, that Pete Rugolo could come back with a great
score to "This World, Then the Fireworks" in his 80's.  Long live Rugolo!

That book sounds like it might be a WEEE bit academic, but will be on my

the flavor of the tome.   Anybody ever hear fo this feller?

I've been niggling with this page for a couple of days and It's ready to

curiousity with a couple of interesting links. Will likely become nothing
more than a curiosity with a LOT of links.

Subject: (exotica) Re:Booting

It is an area rife with moral and legal dilemmas.  I had a friend who
was bootlegging 60s rarities onto CD sending them out to Italy and then
re-importing as Italian imports,  taking advantage of Italy's
'different' copyright laws.  The market for the records was small,  and
there was no intention by the record companies of re-releasing them.

My friend got hold of an acetate of an unreleased record by a band with
a couple of collectable singles (from one of the members) and had a run
of CDs made.  One of the other band members came across the record in a
shop and went to the original record company for his royalties (and
probably a copy for himself,  maybe even the other way round).

They tracked my friend down and got all his money back.   You would
think that the record company would then do their own pressing from the
original tapes,  but no such luck.

But as far as I know this was the only release they got done for.  So
its not without legal repercussions if you do get caught.  But I still
say 'DO IT' and  'DO IT ON VINYL'  cause doing it on home burned CDs is
really just taping it for your friends and really not worth all this
fuss and discussion.

Trader Vic's at the Atlanta Hilton downtown is fun.  Usually not much of a
crowd and can be expensive.  If you are into tiki tho it is a must see.  I
keep thinking that they will close it down because it is always pretty dead in
there when I go.  For some reason tho, they keep it open.

That "Tiki Sampler" was never going to be actually Tiki.  It was (or is???)
going to be 2 cuts off of the later cd's in the series that were not covered
by the Leopard Skin Sampler.  Thus no new music was going to be on there.

When i first heard about the Tiki Sampler I thought "great, more new tiki
music"  -- such is not the case.

Of course it's great and to call it bad taste only shows how obscure "good
taste" has become. Now I want to visit the palace of Ceausescu as well...
