Subject: (exotica) Augustos Pablo

Distressing news to hear about his death. That's Tommy McCook,
Roland Alphonso and Augustus Pablo - three of the all time greats -
in the space of one year.

Short recap for the Pablo novice:

instrumental melodica :

This is Augustus Pablo (Heartbeat) &  Original Rockers are both essential.
Original Rockers vol.2 is also good. The rest like King David's Melody or
East of the River Nile are more uneven balanced. Don't care for much of
his later output (Rockers come East or Rising Sun), a bit too mellow, but
that may be a matter of taste. "Zion Seals Dub" on Rising Sun is pure
bliss for instance. Look out for "Java" on various reggea compilations,
don't think it crops up on one of his regular releases.

dub:

King Tubby meets the Rockers Uptown (various labels) - essential!!! Best dub
album ever made
King Tubby meets the Rokcers Ina Firehouse - so so
Ital Dub (Trojan) - good
Africa Must Be Free by 1983 Dub - excellent
Eastman Dub - so so

compilations with A.Pablo productions:

Augustus Pablo presents Rockers Story (RAS) - excellent. Struggle in Soweto
must be my favorite Pablo tune
Classic Rockers (Mango) - excellent. Paul Blackman's Earth Wind and Fire is
magnificent
Classic Rockers vol.2 (Rockers international) - even better than vol.1 IMO.
Horace Andy's Rock to Sleep and the instrumental dub workout of Rockers
Mood/Tubby's Mood are works of utter genius.
Rockers International Showcase and Rockers International are comps with 80s
productions. All good

various Pablo productions

Hugh Mundell - Blackman's Foundation (Shanachie)  - excellent
Hugh Mundell - Africa Must Be Free by 1983 - excellent. There is a CD on
Greensleeves which has the vocal and dub version together on one CD
Jacob Miller - Who Say Jah No Dread : the classic Augustus Pablo sessions
1974-75 (Greensleeves). Six vocals + dubs by late Inner Circle frontman. The
six dub cuts are the same as the ones on King Tubby meets the Rockers
Uptown.

various
v/a - Melodica Melodies. An old compilation on Trojan with early 70s stuff b
y various other excellent melodica players likeJoe White and Glen Brown.

From the NY Times, May 20, 1999


Augusto Pablo, 46, Musician; Helped Shape Reggae's Sound
By JON PARELES

Augustus Pablo, a widely influential reggae producer, died on Tuesday at
University Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. He was 46 and lived in the hills
outside Kingston.

The cause was myasthenia gravis, a nerve disorder, said his brother, Garth
Swaby.

Pablo, whose original name was Horace Swaby, was known for what he called
the "Far East sound": haunting, minor-key tunes with sparse lines for
melodica (a harmonica with a keyboard) floating above deep bass lines and
echoing keyboards. He was an architect of dub reggae, music in which deep
bass lines and dizzying echo effects envelop a few shards of melody.

Born in Kingston in 1953, he became a Rastafarian while still a teen-ager;
he also taught himself to play piano. Bob Marley brought him into the
studio to play keyboards on early Wailers recordings, and he began working
regularly as a session musician in the late 1960s. He joined the house band
at Randy's Studio, a leading Kingston studio.

A friend introduced him to the melodica, and he took it into the studio
when he had his first recording sessions as a leader in 1969 with the
producer Herman Chin-Loy. His first single, "Iggy Iggy," was credited to
Augustus Pablo, a name Chin-Loy used for instrumentals. When Adams moved to
the United States in 1971, he left the Pablo name to Swaby.

With his next single, "East of the River Nile," Swaby as Augustus Pablo
inaugurated the Far East sound, and he followed it with his first major
Jamaican hit, "Java," in 1972. While making solo recordings, often
reworkings of past and present hits, he was also in demand as a studio
musician, and he worked for a dozen leading Jamaican producers in the early
'70s. In 1972 he started running his own labels, including Hot Stuff,
Rockers International, Yard and Message. Pablo produced recordings for
singers, notably Junior Delgado, Jacob Miller and Hugh Mundell, and he
released instrumentals under his own name.

Those instrumentals are cornerstones of modern dub reggae, particularly
those he recorded in the mid-70s, including the albums "King Tubby Meets
Rockers Uptown" (a 1976 album of Pablo instrumentals remixed by the
engineer and producer King Tubby) and "East of the River Nile" from 1978.

Pablo rarely toured; his milieu was the recording studio. He had hits in
Jamaica as Junior Delgado's producer in the mid-80s, and he continued
releasing his own instrumental recordings well into 90s, adding digital
technology to his older style.

In addition to his brother, he is survived by his companion, Karen Scott; a
son, Addis; a daughter, Isis; a sister, Claudia Swaby McBean, and his
mother, Buelah Swaby.

definitely recommended for exotica-fans.
Start with volume 3, which I think is best too.

The stuff below (picked up from the web) should give you an impression

17 tracks, 70 mins, highly recommended Wonderfully exotic and exciting music
recorded between 1969 and 1975 that has rarely been heard in the West. The
music is a mezmerizing blend of the old and the new and features some of
Ethiopia's finest singers with intesely emotional vocal style and
distinctively Ethiopian warble. They are accompanied by hard-charging bands
with wailing horns, swirling keyboards, and stuttering rhythms. The
fascinating 28 page booklet has notes in French and English about the music,
the musicians and the political climate out of which they emerged. (FS)

<<<<>>>>>>

Following the beautiful funk / rocksteady / Ethiopian folk fusions on the
first compilation, AQ has stocked the full catalogue of the "Ethiopiques"
series. Here's a shortened version of what Windy wrote in her Bay Guardian
review of the albums. I recommend you pick up #3 and the stunning
instrumental volume #4, then #1. Volume #2 is from the 1990s, not the 1970s
as are the other three, and is good but very different.

"From 1969 to 1975, spanning an astonishly short six years, a fascinating
set of factors contributed to the golden age of modern Ethiopian music.
Unless you're already a Mahmoud Ahmed fan or own the sadly out-of-print
'Ethiopian Groove' compilation, then this is some of the most amazingly
beautiful music you've never ever heard. Ethiopia, unlike the rest of
Africa, was never deeply colonized. Thus the institutional bands, like the
Imperial Body Guard Orchestra and the Police Band, used conventional western
instruments without regard for western song forms; the music sounds at once
familiar and strange, a tantalizing combination. Alternately wistful and
eerie arpeggios in pentatonic scales are warbled by the vocalists and horns.
Rhythm guitar and jazz-like drums wreak havoc on a westerner's sense of time
(once you think you're tapping toes along with the beat, you realize you've
lost it.) And American sixties soul-type guitar follows its own melody above
it all."

V/A Ethiopiques 3  (CRC/Buda Musique) cd 17.98

Ethiopia was the site of some of the most beautiful yet sadly forgotten
music in the 60's and 70's. This compilation takes some of the best tracks
from the enterprising Amha Records. This label specialized in recording
unusually catchy and groovy pop songs that are not dissimilar to late 60's
Jamaican rocksteady fused with jazz signatures and Ethiopian folk, plus
plenty of James Brown funk. What makes these recordings (and most from the
"golden era" of Ethiopian music) especially strange is that they were all
performed by the institutional military bands who played all of the Imperial
marches. Includes tracks by the great Mahmoud Ahmed (different from those on
his wonderful Ere Mela Mela disc), ...Those of you who loved the Ethiopian
Groove compilation, or who couldn't get a copy (as it's now out of print),
be thankful.

Ring wear as a design feature,  Elvis Costello's Get Happy LP (80?)

Keith said
<snip>

The major RING WEAR on the sleeve...looks...friggin' brilliant.  No
drugs here, kids, it
just occured to me that if a designer today were to create that
ghost-like image of outer
ring of record, inner ring, and yes, even faint sign of hole (all can be
seen on this
baby), I would fall to my knee pads screaming GENIUS.

How funny that all these years, I've treated that wear as a screen
through which I tried
to view the image better, never once incorporating the graphic reality
of the rings into
the total look of the artwork.

Time to thumb thru every record I own and see if my flimsy epiphany
really holds water.

I walked past the second hand record shop on the street where I used to
live,  just to have a look in the window.  Oh, my god what a feast,
Arthur Lyman,  Scott Walker, Lee Hazlewood, 3 Serge Whateverhisnameis's,
Claudine Longet,  Some assorted Voodoo LPs I'd not heard of,  but in
great sleeves.  Just inside the door, persuasive percussion 1 and 3,  2
copies of a Harry Stoneham Hammond LP. Unfortunately no real bargains,
but what a feast.  I could have done a hundred quid without getting into
the shop to search.

Unfortunately bought right down to earth when the hole in the wall
wouldn't give me a damn penny.  Still I suppose one heartbreaking
decision saved me having to prioritise and make several on what to leave
behind.

And if anyone asks,  I'm not telling where it is.....Ner.

                        *Norman Rossington
    MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- Comic actor Norman Rossington, a veteran of
dozens of movies and British television shows, died Friday of cancer. He was
70.
    The Liverpool-born Rossington was best-known for his string of more than 40
films, including the classic ``Lawrence of Arabia,'' ``A Hard Day's Night''
with the Beatles, the World War II epic ``The Longest Day'' and ``A Night to
Remember'' about the Titanic disaster.
    His stage career included stints at the Metropolitan Opera in New York,
Laurence Olivier's pre-National Theatre company at Chichester, England, and
in the Royal Shakespeare Company. His many TV credits included ``I Claudius.''
    Rossington had been working up until November in the London West End stage
hit ``Beauty and the Beast,'' but bowed out after a fall on stage.

                           *James Blades
    LONDON (AP) -- James Blades, a symphonic percussionist whose most widely
heard work was banging out ``V for victory'' for the BBC's wartime
broadcasts, died May 19 at his home in Cheam. He was 97.
    Blades also recorded the sound of the gong that was featured in the opening
credits of films by the J. Arthur Rank studios.
    His recording of the Morse code for ``V'' was played up to 150 times a day
at the start of British Broadcasting Corp. broadcasts to occupied Europe.
    Blades began drumming with a circus, then in cinemas. In 1982, he joined
the London Film Society Orchestra. During the war he began playing with the
London Philharmonic Orchestra, and later with the English Opera Group, the
Aldeburgh Festival and the English Chamber Orchestra.
    He wrote ``Percussion Instruments and Their History,'' published in 1970,
and two volumes of autobiography.

                             *Owen Hart
    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Owen Hart, the youngest member of a prominent
Canadian wrestling family, died Sunday following a fall at an World
Wrestling Federation event. He was 33.
    Hart plunged 50 feet into the ring at a Kansas City arena as he was being
lowered by cable before a match.. Hart, who wrestled under the nickname
``Blue Blazer'' for the federation, was pronounced dead at a hospital.
    At 5-foot-10 and 227 pounds, Hart entered the WWF in 1989, the last of Stu
Harts' seven sons to do so.
    During his 10-year career, he won several WWF titles, including four tag
team champions, two intercontinental championships and a European championship.
    Hart had recently told a magazine that he was planning to leave wrestling
when his contract was up.

Subject: (exotica) Soft Pop

Trying to define soft pop is as hard as trying to define any musical genre, though it
does sound easier then defining exotica, which was attempted on this list a few times.

I like the suggestion that the Teddy Bears and Fleetwoods were among the first soft pop
groups and I don't see any reason to limit the genre to the '60s. The late '60s post
hippie soft pop groups are for me a special genre of soft pop, influenced by folk,
garage and/or psychedelic music  but fo me this is  not really a large jump from bands
that preceded them. This whole discussion did start with Free Design/ Association type
bands, but Free Design is really not that much different music then Bryand Holland's
"Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Poka Dot Bikini" or Gary Lewis and the Playboys or
Leslie Gore/Girl Groups or the Teddy Bears. I can't imagine describing Patience &
Pudence as anything but soft pop.  For me, in the pop music world, or bubbling under
the charts,  we could limit the genre to the modern pop music, 1955 to present.   This
would exclude rythmn & blues, some doo wop, big band,  and 1920-40s ballads.  But like
DJJimmyBee suggested, its difficult to describe it unless you hear it.  There's a new
compilation out called "Monster Ballds" its heavey metal ballads,  its not soft pop
even though its ballads.

In January of 1955, on Mercury # 70529, The Crew Cuts softened up and poped up the doo
wop ballad Earth Angel.   This song had a different feel, much popier and less earthy
then the Penguins version.  Soft and bouncy as was their remake of Sh Boom, this is the
earliest soft pop song I can imagine.

Like Nat, I'd like to draw some parameters here, anyone for suggestions?  This thread
interests me alot.

Let's build some parameters around  soft pop's definition. To me it has to reflect a

slightly, pretentious, but not dogmatic. It is influenced by the 6T's Folk Music period
 but not "pure" in an acoustic folkie sense. It might be called E-Z Folk. And  it seems
to be an exclusively 6T's category. The Soft Rockers of the 7T's  don't fit.....Help

Why does it make my day to see this on the list?

(Could it be because Ross dissed this record a month or so ago and
mentioned my recommendation while doing so??  No, I know that everyone has
their own taste and I think Ross has good taste... usually.)

I actually wish this cut were a tad shorter but I'm glad to see my taste

Subject: (exotica) Pebbles Vol 3: The Acid Gallery

Whoever posted about this on the list a week or so ago you were absolutely right. This
is one wild rollicking rough edged psychedelic journey that should please some listees
a lot.  One cut captures a dj talking  in that wild late 60s fm radio style and raw
primitive no bounds journies into the psychedelic corners of garage music.

Hard psychedelic garage pop with allot more creativity then I imagined.  Strange ideas
about how to do the music, nothing much like Pink Floyd or Hendrix going on here, this
is raw.  The best Pebbles for the list I've heard yet.   This cd is worth the price of
admission.  One listen is worth a 1000 words,  to paraphrase that 1967 Look magazine
picture.

Easy listening in the Big Easy
Chuck

Subject: (exotica) Van Dyke Parks and Nilsson

I assume there are Van Dyke Parks fans here and even some who treasure
their copy of "Discover America".
I sort of wish I still had that record but only so that I could sell it and
make a bundle.  (Maybe enough to finance a copy of Skip Spence's "Oar".
Dont know why but somehow I associate those two records with each other.)
I kept trying to like "Discover" but I don't really like calypso or steel
drums and I could never get into it, no matter how many times I read what a
genius Van Dyke was.
But now I discover this Nilsson record which is either called "Duit on mon
Dei" or "Formerly God's Greatest Hits", depending on which cover you look at.
And it's produced by Van Dyke and has that same steel drum sound as
"Discover" but it's a way better record... for me.
More modern.  None of that fake Bing Crosby stuff that's all over "Discover".
A modern-sounding eclectic record with cool tunes by Nilsson but with that
extra bit of exotica that Van Dyke brings with him.
Anybody else know or love this record?  This is a real find.  I would never
have thought I'd even like a Nilsson record this much, even with "The Point".

Nat

I added:
I have had the vinyl version of this for about 15 years; it's a great one.
Also, if you like DJ's (Charles is referring to Dave Diamond as he descends
into "The Diamond Mine") that go on great flights of fancy, I recommend
Pete "Mad Daddy" Myers, whose ravings can be found at
http://www.earthstation1.com/Mad_Daddy_Meyers.html and also he recorded
What is a Fisterris? as the Joker.  I would love to know if there are
anymore sound clips of this fellow!

Also, Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson) can be sampled at
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/7356/ghoul.html

Is Horror Asparagus Stories by the Driving Stupid on the CD?  It is listed
on the LP but not on the record.  Also, there was a bonus cut, uncredited,
which I think is Timothy Leary.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Soft Pop

I've mentioned it before,  probably about 4 years ago, but one of my
favourite all-time misconceived lines in pop is on Peter Sarstedt's "Where
Do You
Go To My Lovely?" album, in a song called "Sons of Cain are Abel."  I'm
actually
a Sarstedt fan, but this song has lines like "We had this fine old place in
the country,
where we grew melancholy on the lawn . . ." and then goes on for a verse or
two
before we hear this :  "As I was walking lonesome through the garden, in
someone's
sick homosexual half-world".  Or something.

And then there's his old-time-movie concept album, and then there are the
records
by his brother.

Subject: (exotica) Calling All DJ's

Boston's Seks Bomba's new CD is finally out. And they want DJ's playin' it.
Its called "Operation B.O.M.B.A." and the cover is done in the style of a
6T's spy-thriller movie. To share a couple of quoteson the contents:
"multi-layered songs that are actually arranged, with the depth and panache
of European films of the 60's", "cool, laconic, and licensed to kill." All
radio and club DJs please contact me. Be SURE to include in your
correspondence the following: Station Call Letters, Name of Program, Station
Phone Number, Your on-air name, the hours your show airs, and the description
your station's program guide gives your show. Club jocks: please provide the
name, location, phone number, club manager's name and night(s) and hours you
work at the club.
Seks Bomba's record release Party will be held in Boston on June 18th at the
Linwood Grille. DJ Brother Cleve (who also told me about this band over two
years ago) spins between sets. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RECORD

Subject: (exotica) Retro Cocktail Hour

This week's Retro Cocktail Hour webcast is a two-hour tribute to Les
Baxter.

From such early classics as "Music Out of the Moon", "Voice of the
Xtabay" and "Ritual of the Savage" to his numerous commercial pop
records and '60s soundtracks, it's a wide-ranging look at one of
exotica's leading lights.

All of the famous and much-discussed Baxter albums are represented,
including "Space Escapade", "The Passions", "Jungle Jazz", "Skins!"
and many more, alongside his later work for Reprise, Alshire and
American-International.  Plus, we'll hear a very rare 1962 interview
with the B-Man in which he discusses the popularity of "Quiet
Village" and his latest (in 1962) exotic album, "The Primitive and
the Passionate"!

To hear The Retro Cocktail Hour on the Web, just go to:
