This is the real reason that the big companies won't release stuff,  bad

sodding contracts.  I think this upsets me even more.

Subject: (exotica) Analyze Walter

 In the late '70s my freinds & I use to drive down to>
Mexico/Gutemala/Belize and one of the cassettes I made had a great
version of Sleigh Ride followed by Hey Pocka Way by the Meters,
followed by Walter Wanderly's Summer Samba, then the Girl from Ipanema
45 version.  We listened to the cassette so much that to this day
whenever I hear the Meters Hey Pocka way I think Summer Samba is next.

Whenever Quiet Village by Denny came on and we were driving through
the jungle we'd turn the music up extra loud.

Sure wish I was thrifting for exotica back then.

i must agree with you. it's nothing like FPM. i think at the time i

female vocals very definately recorded in a modern style (bass sound). i
suppose the fact that i tend to play that record a bit fast would
explain it too...

Subject: (exotica) The Electric Indian

I bought a rather curious 45 at a local thrift shop a week or two back:
"The Electric Indian": Broad Street/Keem-O-Sabe released by United Artist
Records. Both songs are credited to B. Borisoff & B. Binnick. The record
was arranged by Tom Sellers & produced by Len Barry. Musically, the single
wouldn't sound out of place on "The Easy Project" compilations.

Can anyone provide any info regarding this record? Year of release? Did The
Electric Indian ever record anything else?

Thanx

Subject: Re: (exotica) These kids today and that rock-n-roll!

Speaking of Sammy Cahn...

Just as the "Star Trek" theme has unused lyrics, Sammy wrote a forgotten
set of words for "The Odd Couple" theme (music by Neil Hefti). They read
somewhat like a schoolboy trying to pad out a 500 word essay:

"No matter where they go -- they are known as the couple.
They're never seen alone -- so they're known as the couple.
As I've indicated, they are never quite separated.
They are peas in a pod. Don't you think that it's odd?"

"Their habits, I confess, none can guess with the couple.
If one says no it's yes -- more or less with the couple.
But they're laugh provoking; yet they really don't know they're joking.
Don't you find when love is blind it's kind of odd!"

"Don't you think it's odd?
Don't you think it's odd?
Don't you think it's odd?"

Did someone say subtext? How does this reflect on the "manners and morals
of America"?

All this time I've been thinking that the band was called Kemosabe and the
name of the record was "The Electric Indian" but now on closer inspection,
I see that indeed the band is called The Electric Indian and the record is
called "Kemosabe".

So, yes the Electric Indian recorded at least one LP on United Artists
called "Kemosabe".   They do covers of "I heard it through the grapevine",
"Spinning Wheel" and Len Barry's "1, 2, 3 " as well as a few originals.

I think Kemosabe is a great tune and I'd classify the record as closer to
"jazz rock" in a Ramsey Lewis vein than "easy project" but then again, I'm
not sure what easy project really implies.

Speaking of the arrangers on the record, besides Tom Sellers, there's also
Vince Montana Jr. and Jimmy Wisner, a name that shows up on a lot of
Canadian easy listening records.  Anyone know anything about Jimmy Wisner?

 Not Sinead O' Connor, not Joni Mitchell, but Ricky Lee Jones.
 The sample is not on any official release, but is taken from
 an interview that appeared in a 2-CD promo box issued by Geffen

Sorry to not finish this, but this Orb track is available on the just recently

Subject: (exotica) Punk Chartbusters

is an enjoyable series of compilations on the German Wolverine Records
punklabel. Volume 3 (a double cd) is just out and is chockful of punkrock
versions of your favorite chart-hits like Every Breath You Take,  Barbie
Girl, Blue Hotel, The Boxer, Take on Me, Summer of 68 etc. etc. No hardcore,
strictly punkrock with the odd ska song thrown in. A bit in the style of
last year's Me First + The Gimme Gimmes cover album (on Fat Wreck records).
There's also a skaversion of "Strychnine" I quite like.

Ok so I don't really watch TV an awful lot (an hour a week is usually

space age flavor.

Russ Garcia, Frank Comstock, Dr. Samuel Hoffman, Raymond Scott, Mel
Henke, Sid Bass, Ferrante and Teicher, The Ames Brothers and Les
Baxter are just a few of space cadets featured tonight.  You'll hear
tracks from classics like "Space Escapade", "Fantastica" and "Music
from Outer Space", plus rarities like Jimmie Haskell's "Countdown in
Stereo", space songs for kids by Tony Mottola and his Orchestra and
the trailers from some cheesy '50s sci-fi movies.  All that plus
Barbarella, Space Patrol and Fireball XL-5, too.

 Afro-Desia is such a great rekkid.
 What were they thinking?
 Is it anything but gibberish?


 How come Scamp released this one separately, and not doubled with another
 album? >>

I'm glad you share my feelings for "Afro-Desia" being an amazing album. This
was the very first of their Denny albums released. Not knowing if we would be
able to put out any more, I had to decide which album would be most worthy to
be released on CD and for atmospherics and exotica quotient "Afro-Desia" had
to rank as one of the most incredibly examples of the whole "exotica" genre.
It was only following the success of this album that I approach EMI with the
request to go after the other albums which they thankfully allowed.

As Denny comments on this album in the linear notes appearing in the "Quiet
Village"/"Enchanted Sea" CD stating that these lyrics WERE gibberish. They
were what they imagined African chanting sounded like -- all the more adding
to world- music-meets-Tin-Pan-Alley aspect that made "exotica" so precious.

>ESG:  You're No Good  "ESG"

That reminds me... the other night I discovered that ESG makes a (too)
minimal appearance performing "Moody" in a nightclub scene in the
comedy/horror movie, "Vampire's Kiss" (1988). Yes, that's the one where
Nicholas Cage ate a cockroach. An over-the-top and beyond performance...
one for the ages.

Subject: (exotica) The Now Sound of a filtered 100

I was just watching some old TV commercials on video and I heard an
instrumental jingle that was both a nostalgic bullet train ride back to the
late '60s and a nice little bit of music.  It's the Benson & Hedges jingle.  I
haven't heard the thing in nearly 30 years and now I can't stop humming the
frickin' thing.

So here's are the questions.  Who wrote it?  Who performed it, and if anyone
knows anything else interesting about it, like the name of the song if it has
one, that would be great?

Thanks,
- -Roy

That's because it is a great tune and is THE undisputed now sound anthem as
far as I am concerned...

<<So here's are the questions.  Who wrote it?  Who performed it, and if

Writing credits go to one Mitch Leigh.

The Brass Ring (featuring Phil Bodner) performed it.  Keep an eye peeled for
the  album (Dunhill) which has a tall, pretty blonde with her arms wrapped
around a short, portly fellow, who stands a good tweleve inches shorter than
she and is thrice her age.

It actually hit the charts in 1967, made it to #36.  Title is "The Dis-
Advantages Of You".

The Brass Ring's other big success was "The Phoenix Love Theme" (from "Flight
Of The Phoenix") which did slightly better in 1966, hitting #32.

Subject: (exotica) Rhapsody 21 by Toni Mineo lp up for grabs

Folks

over the weekend i found a copy of  ...

Rhapsody 21 on World's Fair Records. Original Music by Toni Mineo.
Orchestrated by Attileo Mineo. Conducted by Paul Whiteman.

It's more of an piano and orchestral thing than the truly amazing "Man in
Space with Sounds", but if anyone is interested and would like to offer
some swaps offlist, I'll be glad to hear from you.

I'd also be intested to know what year this was from (there's no clue on
the sleeve).

The cover is a bit battered ...(hell, it's made a long journey
...geaographically and temporally), but as i'm listening to it now, there
are no craclkes at all ...

i was delighted to rescue it  ...

friendly

Sem Sinatra

Subject: (exotica) obits: Bob Cato, Ernie Wise

                             *Bob Cato
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Bob Cato, who helped turn record album covers into a form
of contemporary art and won two Grammy awards for his designs, died Friday
due to complications of Alzheimer's disease. He was 75.
    He joined CBS-Columbia Records in 1960, serving as art director and vice
president of creative services for ten years. He worked with musicians
including Miles Davis, Janis Joplin and Leonard Bernstein, and painters like
Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.
    His cover designs for Barbara Streisand's ``People'' (1964) and ``Bob
Dylan's Greatest Hits'' (1967) won him Grammy awards from the National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He received the academy's
President's Merit award in 1997.
    Cato's career spanned 50 years, beginning in 1947 at Harper's Bazaar
magazine. There he was exposed to a mixture of photography, Modernist art,
open space and sharp typography that would help define his later work.
    His final ten years were largely devoted to fine art, photography and
producing books, including ``Joyce Images'' (1994).



     Ernie Wise, straight man (though he hated that description; "he was the
comedian, I was the dancer" he said) to Eric Morecambe in the British comedy
duo "Morecambe and Wise", died on 21st March 1999.
     Their career had started when each were already established 'juvenile'
(now that's a word you don't hear very often these days) performers. Ernest
Wiseman danced and Eric Bartholemew  sang comedy songs including, "I'm Not
All There." The song wasn't at all politically correct but, as Eric
performed it, it was bloody funny.
     The partnership started their act in the long range 'big gestures and
lots of repetition' style of performance required by music hall and, later,
variety theatre performance. Then they took in the halfway-house 'sound only
' technique needed for radio.
     Later still, they developed their material to the 'close up' visual
comedy style which was only possible with the coming of television. Others
didn't and *they* fell by the wayside while Eric and Ernie were still
cruising at the top of the profession.
     They did this with the aid of considerable skill and very good writing,
and those who call(ed) them cliched and derivative miss(ed) the point that
they themselves established many of the conventions which they later sent up.
     Ernie would not accept anything other than 'Top Of The Bill' after Eric
died of a heart attack, and this limited the amount he worked in his last
few years. A great shame, but a situation of his own making.
