Subject: (exotica) Recording industry blames MP3 for declining sales

 SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1999 MAR 25 (NB) -- By Matt Hines,
Newsbytes. In a new twist in its ongoing protest of the MP3 digital music
format, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is blaming the
platform for a fall off in sales of compact discs to teenagers and young
adults.

In its annual Sound Recording Consumer Profile report, released this week,
RIAA targets MP3 as a possible catalyst behind the decline in album sales to
15 to 24-year-olds, a key market segment for the recording companies it
represents.

 There are two Beau Hunks CDs of Little Rascals music.  The

I kinda figured this but still would like the music on the original 78's.

 Not quite.  Toni Basil worked with Bruce Conner in the Sixties on a piece
 called Breakaway.  I think it was like 1962.  And I think she sang it too.
 She was partially nude for the piece, dancing in a typical Go-Go style.  She
 indeed looked in her 20s then.  She was billed as Antoinette Basillicotta.

So if she was say 18(?????) in 1962 she did the Mickey thing when she was
about 37?????

Hung up on the age thing,

I forgot to jump in on the TWIN PEAKS thread of a few weeks ago, but, heck,
in the early 90's you coulda just called me "Laura Palmer."  I was totally
obsessed with that show, and it sticks with me today(I am still afraid of
BOB!)
I also grew to appreciate the work of Angelo Badalamenti(sp?), and have the
TP and BLUE VELVET soundtracks(don't yet have FIRE WALK WITH ME.)  I was
wondering if his body of work for other films and project is consistent
with the coolness of the aforementioned.

This music was never issued on record at the time. It only exists in the
original movies. The whole idea behind the Beau Hunks was: 'this music
has been heard by millions of people, but it's not available anywhere
(apart from some mediocre recreations by Ronnie Hazlehurst in the 80s) -
so it's time that we record it properly'. Piet Schreuders edited the
original pieces together from videotapes and all the arrangements were
transcribed by members of the Beau Hunks. It wwas only later that
original sheet-music was discovered.


> Does anybody have the Hunks CD's and could they comment on the quality,

Yep, I have 'em. They're great. Beautiful recreation of the original
'feeling' of this music. Please note that in Europe these CD's are
issued not as Little Rascals music, but as Laurel & Hardy music.
Go to http://www.basta.nl for details on ordering them directly from
that label.

Subject: (exotica) fwd: Will hip tunes prod you ...

Will hip tunes prod you to buy a T-shirt? by CSM/John Christian Hoyle

   For years, shopping malls have piped in innocuous ``elevator music'' to
soothe savage shoppers into unloading their bulging pocketbooks.
   Well, it's time to say arrivederci to Mantovani.
   Today, stores like Pottery Barn, Victoria's Secret, and even staid Brooks
Brothers are blasting hipper background music to entice customers to buy.
And it's worked so well, retailers are selling recordings of the music that
echoes throughout their stores.
   The result: The CDs conveniently displayed next to cash registers with a
sign that reads ``Now playing.''
   Take Banana Republic's ``Road Trip,'' an eclectic selection of pop hits
aimed at the store's young, professional clientele.
   ``It's a collection of tunes your best friend would put together for you
if you were taking a road trip,'' says Cindy Capobianco, spokes-woman for
the company. ``Where else can you find Al Green and Iggy Pop featured on the
same disc?''
   The average price of a store compilation is $6 to $12. Retailers,
however, say that the discs are not intended to be cash cows. ``They're more
like brand builders,'' Ms. Capobianco says. ``When people listen to one of
these CDs in their home or car, they're likely to think about the store
where they bought it,'' she adds. ``It's a brilliant way to market the
company image as a lifestyle.''
   Many retailers attribute the popularity of their CDs to the frantic pace
of American shoppers. They argue that these shoppers simply don't have time
to browse through music stores, so they buy their tunes from other retail
stores.
   ``These enormous music stores that offer thousands of discs are
intimidating to many people,'' says Mike Roland, a spokesman for Starbucks.
``People simply don't have the time to waste shuffling through hundreds of
titles.''
   Starbucks was one of the first to offer a CD compilation. The company's
``Blue Note Blend'' was released in 1995. The disc, which featured classics
by John Coltrane, Nat ``King'' Cole, and Billie Holiday, was an instant hit.
Starbucks claims to have sold more than 50,000 copies the first month.
   This year, the company plans to release 11 CDs featuring a wide range of
jazz, classical, world music, and fledgling songwriters.
   The cost of producing the CDs is relatively low. Stores choose
inexpensive tunes from thousands of volumes of cataloged music.
   ``Music is an important part of the retail environment,'' says Barry
Knittel, an executive with AEI Music Network, which mixes soundtracks for
retail outlets.
   ``If customers like what they hear, they stay and spend,'' Mr. Knittel
adds. ``Selling compilation CDs of what they play allows retailers another
avenue to advertise their image.''
   At this rate, it's fair to ask, ``What's next?'' Perhaps an Ace Hardware
CD compilation with ``If I Had a Hammer.''

Wish I was on the list when this subject was discussed.

IMHO:

I enjoyed the Incredibly Strange Music books. Saw them on Vic's web page &
found them through an inter-library loan.  Spent a whole month absorbing the
articles, interviews, names and  album covers.

The Esquivel interview. A real gem.

Frank, Thanks for reminding me about them. Have to go back and revisit now
that it's been almost a year. At the time I was just getting started on
exotica and some of it seemed a little too strange.

And now some of the things I hate and like about the Music Hound book:

Articles and full page photos of rock stars like Madonna and Billy Joel??  I
agree with you that the likes of John Denver and Billy Joel should not even
be in there.  (Billy Joel's overexposure may be the reason I'm a
left-side-of-the-dial refugee")

Some rockers could be in there like Madonna and Joe Jackson. But only for
albums like "Jumpin' Jive" and "I'm Breathless" (my opinion only). Don't
give a rating for every album.

Some of the editors did rock books so they are biased. Since I now volunteer
at a college radio station  I'll borrow some Stereolab and Morressey (?)
disks this summer and draw my own opinion.

Lou's review struck a cord with me because I made the same judgement: Know
the book has faults. Be careful with the rockers. Focus on the good stuff.

It's a handy reference to take take with you when you go flipping through
the used CD's and albums.  Alphabetical, indexed and has a good list of
soundtracks.

Plus the book made me feel like I always liked lounge because all the
jazzplayers and vocalists I like are represented.  Now to get to the other
more exotic 1/2!

Hope you don't mind me giving one last kick to this old dead-horse
discussion. And that the list focus on other things.

Robert,

It was recorded by the Beau Hunks, but in 1994. The vintage sound was
created by using vintage instruments, vintage microphones and vintage
recording techniques. If you would like to get some customer-reviews, you
should post to alt.comedy.laurel-hardy . Ask them if anyone knows the Laurel
& Hardy or Little Rascals recordings, and what their opinion is regarding
sound quality etcetera.

Subject: (exotica) Siesta Keeps Rolling Along

Siesta has released some wonderful music over the last year.   I
purchased all of mine from [e-mail]   James will be
happy to receive your email and he's a pleasure to buy from.

"Sound track" by Red Sleeping Beauty (1998?) Is my personal fav of the
siesta world these days.  A fabulis cd with haunting melodies,
cardiganesque/belle&sebastian vocals. The soft beautiful easypop
melodies with gentle instrumentation make this cd get better with each
listen.

"Musica para hacer la digestion" (1998)  A 22 piece orchestra handles
bacharac/frances lai style music with style.  You sometimes think
you're listening to a wonderful French sound track ala 1972 but these
are all new compositions.  All instrumental with one wordless vocal.
A stunning release from Siesta!

"Initial"  by Laila Amazon.(1997)  Produced by Louis Philippe,  this
young Morrocon sings the most beautiful modern music. Over 20
musicians make this a feast for your ears of lush exotic soft easypop.
 Bossa influenced tunes sung in english & french make this a modern
day Astrud Gilberto album.  Louis Philippe has an equall great group
of albums and on Siesta he has "Jackie Girl" with a picture of Jackie
de Shannon on the cover and some songs about her or inspired by her on
the cd.  This is also a masterpiece of soft
bossa/bacarah easypop.

"Strange Letters" by Scarlet's Well 1999) is another easypop release
with a more british ballads feel then the ones mentioned so far.  Soft
vocals over delicate haunting melodies.  As usual a wonderful package
accompanies the cd.  A nice orchestra backs up the 3 vocalists.

Other great albums (though all are on a more pop level)  on Siesta are
"Spanish Slalom" by Eggstone; "Knowing Who Your Friends Are" by
kaleda; "Sniff" by the Legendary Jim Ruiz Group; " La Buena Vida" &
"Soidemersol" by La Buena Vida.

Also there are 2 great collections on Siesta, "Expresso" &
"Apperitivo"  Both are a great start to a great label.

Special mention must also go to Free Design's 2 siesta releases,
"Raindrops" & "Bubbles"

Easy listening to easypop in the Big Easy
Chuck

That was a song that Dr. Dimento used to play on his show in the early 70s!
 It sounded a bit like a Red Ingles(?) tune, but I'm not too sure on that.

Ananda Shankar dead

              CALCUTTA, March 26.

              Ananda Shankar, noted musician and son of choreographer
Uday Shankar,
              died at a south Calcutta nursing home this morning, family
sources said.

              He was 50 and is survived by choreographer wife, Ms.
Tanushree, and a
              daughter.

              Ananda Shankar, who was suffering from cardiac problems,
was in the
              nursing home's ICCU for some time. He was to be shifted to
the ward
              today after his condition improved. The end came suddenly
at 8.45 a.m.

              Son of legendary dancer, Uday Shankar, and danseuse, Amala
Shankar,
              and nephew of renowned sitarist, Pt. Ravi Shankar, Ananda
Shankar was
              brought up in an atmosphere where music, dance and culture
harmoniously
              co-existed.

              Regarded as one of the foremost exponents of experimental
music after
              Timir Barun, the greatness of Shankar's composition lay in
the fine blend
              of west and the east, without diluting the uniqueness of
Indian music.

              Ravi Shankar mourns

              The sitar maestro, Ravi Shankar, today expressed shock
over the death of
              Ananda Shankar.``I share the terrible grief alongwith his
mother, wife,
              daughter and sister. It seems so unfair that at the prime
of his life he                   has left us,'' the Bharat Ratna recipient
said in a message.

Subject: (exotica) Mrs. Miller has company!

Hey all you Mrs. Miller fans!  Hooked but having trouble finding more
product to fulfill your sick and demented craving?  Well look no
further, there's Madame St. Onge!  After some searching I was finally
able to track down a sealed copy of the only known record by Quebec's
answer to Mrs. Miller. All sung in French, there is a version of Help,
I'm so Lonsesome I could Cry, The Girl from Ipanema, Call me, and 6
other gems on her LP "Les 10 plus grands succes de Mme St-Onge". It's
an all-Canadian production on Laval Records. Of course judging from
the photo on the cover I'm a bit suspicious that Madame may really be
Monsieur but who can say. My guess is it dates from the 1970's but it
certainly isn't new judging from the familiar mildew smell in the
jacket. It's times like this I wish I had a CDR!
