    my favorite indonesian LP is:
    Le Groupe Angklung: L'Indonesie (LP, Arion ARN 33 353, France,
1976)

    it's a percussion group, named after the sound their bamboo
    instruments are making: klang klung. very funny, and they
    sing melodies that are surprisingly catchy.

    no idea if it is on CD.

I, too, am much amused by Cornyn's liner
notes, and your post prompted me to do
some digging, since I work in a library
that focuses on the arts.

The OCLC database lists 145 albums for
which Cornyn wrote liner notes, among
them are lp's for Frank, Sammy and Dean,
but also The Everly Brothers, The Anita
Kerr Singers, Harpers Bizarre, Don Ho, Sandie Shaw,
Lee Hazlewood "Friday's Child" (I have that
one, I'll have to take a look at it), and
he did the Nancy Sinatra albums, too, didn't he?

It looks as if he wrote liner notes
for anyone who was released on Reprise.
Elisabeth, I may be able to e-mail you
a list of these titles if you would like
one.  He won a Grammy in 1965 for "Best
Liner Notes" for _September of My Years_.

Amusingly enough, a search for the
non-lp writings of Mr. Cornyn reveals
two screenplays ("Naish" and "The Phynx"),
and a self-published book entitled,
_My father wore a hat: reminiscences about
the Cornyn family from Adam and Eve to
Christopher and Thomas_.  The subject
headings say "Irish-Americans--California --Biography".
(I just *knew* he was a Celt!)  The Library
of Congress is the only library that holds
this title.  It was published in 1994 -- he must
still be alive, then.  It looks like he
may have written for _Theatre_ magazine
in the 1960's, because his name is listed
in the cataloged record for the index.
He must have worked for Warner / Reprise
mostly, because one web search result said
that he was former president of New Media
for Warner.  I think I liked him better
when he was more mysterious -- that way
I can imagine him as some eccentric recluse
who writes under a pseudonym....

He is also listed as one of the authors in:
_Frank Sinatra and American Culture: Essays
on an American Icon_.

As an extra special treat,
I got these liner notes off the web.

- ---------------
"Happiness is Dean Martin" Singing "Lay Some Happiness on Me" And Other
Selected Hoop-Las

"Aesthetically, he ends up somewheres between '39's Mickey Mouse Watch
and Lichtenstein's neo-heroic painting, "Take
That . . . Pow !"

"A little camp, perhaps, but too much of our current action really to
rate that high on the Camp Charts. Put him more in the
Hula Hoop- Silver Mini-Skirt-"Chelsea Girls"- William Manchester bag
[?]. That is to say, awfully celebrated right now, not
to mention being hellishly good examples at what they're driving at.

"Nothing, for example, is more hula-hoop than a Pink Plastic 1960 Hula
Hoop. Nothing is more Dean Martin than Dean
Martin.

"Of course, doing a really preposterously good job of being Dean Martin
depends a lot on knowing the rules about what
makes the best Dean Martin. Knowing the archetypal definition of
Martinism: How is he different? Why is he individual? What
is he driving at?

"What Dean Martin is driving at seems to be to lead a Life Of Sloth. A
Life of EPIC Sloth. Not just your common little ol'
Sunday afternoon lazy Sloth, like you get with minor Erskine Caldwell
Georgia darlins. [?]

"No, Martin now epitomizes EPIC SLOTH. Sloth like Joseph E. Levine would
come up with. In big, 3-D letters, like in those
Ben Hur movie ads, with all forms of EPIC EXHAUSTION draped over the
letters. "Epic Sloth," starring Dean Martin, and
then running around the bottom, instead of Mongol hordes and Jack
Palance you find other things, for this is "Epic Sloth."
Things like deflated innertubes. Like the ears of sleeping Spaniels.
Like Kleenex ashes. [?] Like all of Life's Most Unresilient
Stuff.

"And there, leaned up in Herculean-Scope against those giant letters,
our Pop Star slumps. Dean Martin. Kind of half-eyed
looking out at you, grinning "Hi ya, pally," like he hopes you haven't
got anything heavy on your mind.

"Dean Martin has been working at becoming an Epic Pop Art Object. He's
been getting in a good deal of pop art hypnotizing.
Avis knows, you don't get to be Number One by just sitting round. Some
detractors have published this about Martin: that he
sits round, trying to make spaghetti look tense. [!] "Pish tosh," we
say, and "Yellow journalism."

"You have to publicize to get to be Our National Epic Sloth. Martin has.
His medium: the most popular art object of Our
Times, meaning . . . your television set. (Breathes there a soul with
fingers so dull he can't find his Vertical Knob blindfolded?)
[Note similarity to remote control in 1994.-Ed.]

"The mind-boggling task which DM has accomplished in his upwards surge
to Number One Epic Sloth in [sic] this: he has put
other would- be number one lazy slobs into limbo. "Amos 'N Andy's"
Lightnin, for instance, now is largely forgot. Shiftless
and No-Account has moved to Beverly Hills, where dey got no deltas,
chile. [!!!-Whooee!-Ed.] The other
competition--those slothy Southern belles once played by Lee Remick and
Joanne Woodward--are now minor league stuff.

"Martin (few people have known this until this very minute; it has been
a closely kept secret) was actually only Number Two
until quite recently. The spot of Number One Epic Sloth was recently
held by another performer. Not a human being, but a
small dog. His name: Red Dust. He is (or was, for he has largely
disappeared from our scene) part of a Vaudeville turn. His
master would bark out commands: "Red Dust, Roll Over! Up, Red Dust!" But
Red Dust was an utterly and irrevocably
sag-boned hound. Red Dust never voluntarily moved anything, least of all
a paw. The pooch looked permanently pickled. It
was pretty funny stuff.

"Dean Martin finally won out over Red Dust. Much of his triumph has been
ascribed by some scribes to his ability to project
an alcoholic aura from coast-to-coast, into millions of Puritan homes.
Good, Puritan, beer-drinking homes. Martin has almost
by himself established Booze-o-Vision as America's new Art Populaire.
It's difficult to imagine any other object that would
currently be more welcome in our historic nation's thousands of beer
bars and juke joints. Nothing more popular than DM,
slumped there, looking for his cue card, all brung [sic] to you in NBC's
surrealist color. Martin and his--dare we say it?--
goopy baritone. [??] Martin: the biggest sex symbol to hit neighborhood
taverns since the heyday of The Rheingold Girl, may
she in our secret imaginations requiescat in flagrante delicto.

"Nothing should slow up his reign as our beloved epic boozer short of a
sudden attack of dysphagia.--Stan Cornyn"

Thanks all who contributed with postings about soft pop. Very informative
and well written! Its a "genre" quite unknown to me, except Claudine Longet
and Bob Lind. I keep seeing records with the Sandpipers, but i dont buy
them because i have some tracks on a compilation album that doesnt give me
anything, maybe I should try an LP? If you think so, Which LP to begin
with? Or shall I leave all at the fleamarkets?

Don't forget the David Byrne produced compilation "Dance Raja Dance"
on Luaka Bop which is some excellent Indian film Music.  Still, the
pieces on Doob Doob o' Rama are my favourite as those that compiled
it seemed to go to the extra bit to pick more offbeat-exotica inspired
pieces.  The sound quality on it, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be

I also rather liked the album "Yemenite Songs" by Ofra Haza, which came out
about 1985.  Ancient melodies backed with now-au-go-go instrumentation.

I don't know if there was any controversy over the possibility of her being
Afro Azah from Brooklyn, though :^)

Just found this interesting UK online store which seems to
specialise in Jazz/Classical/Soundtracks.  They have a couple of
recent releases which look interesting (and coincidentally enough
this first one has a Gary McFarland track!):

Though I accept the idea that lots of stuff does belong in the general soft
pop category with the Free Design,  I really haven't yet found a soft pop
group with the "songs to inspire the Manson Family" type of feel that the
Free Design achieves on cut after cut.
There are groups with lyrics about flowers, trees and kites.  There are
groups with boy/girl harmonies.  There are songs that occasionally cross
over into the "so achingly cute, it's cool" category but I find that the
Free Design have a quality that really can barely be compared to anyone.
I started looking for soft pop records that had been unknown to me after I
realized - on about the third hearing - that in spite of a thousand good
reasons to hate them, I actually loved the Free Design.
And I have enjoyed some of the records I've found.  Orpheus, The Deep Six,
Love Generation, Sunshine Company, Peppermint Rainbow, Rejoice, Harper's
Bizarre, Cowsills.
But none of them has that ability to make my teeth ache or give me thoughts
of skipping through the park with a smile on my face and a machete in my
hand that the Free Design inspires every time.

Well, that got your attention.

I picked up an album on the Cameo label called Exotica but across the top is
the title "4:35 MMF" and it describes it as 4 channels on 35 millimeter film.

The album is by our old friend Ted Auletta and his Orchestra and is fair.  A
certain Denny rip off.

My question???  What was the big deal with this recording technique?  The
notes make it sound like it was the next thing in true high fidelity.

Did this label go any where with this gimick?

One of the advantages of recording on 35 millimeter film, so they say, is that
there is no print through.  I do have vinyl where the printthrough from
audio tape is evident on the record and I have never heard this on a 35mm
master.

Command also used this technique.

I am sure there are limitations with this...especially when multi track
sessions became standard.  You could still only do four tracks on
35mm...okay for live recordings or ones requiring some minor
adjustments...but if you wanted to record an instrument at a time and a
click track, etc.  This is
probably why this was a short-lived technique (and master tapes gradually
were able to limit print through anyway).

This is not authoritative...just gathered from liner notes, etc.

I've seen a couple more "exotica" type LP's on Cameo/Parkway. a label more
Mashed Potato and Twist/Bobby Rydell friendly than it was exotica-friendly.
The Ted Auletta stuff is relatively generic exotica to my ears--the usual
bird calls and shit IMHO

Subject: (exotica) Esquivel and Esquivel/Sinatra relationship

 Hello,

I lurk on this list most of the time and yesterday I puchased my first
Esquivel album called MORE OF OTHER WORLDS AND OTHER SOUNDS on the Reprise
label from 1962. I read in the Musichound lounge book that this was to be
avoided becuase it was too normal or something like that. I had never really
heard any of his music but I didn't want to start out with anything too
strange , so I went ahead and bought it anyway after much thought, I don't
believe everything I read. I like it to say the least and I think I may want
to purchase some more of his work. Does anybody know why he didn't record
more extensively with all the talent he had?? Were his records just not
selling anymore?  Did he just never attain a huge folowing in this country?
Also, why did he stop performing in Vegas after 1974? I read that somewhere.
Does anybody know the reasons??

Also I read on a website and I quote that"Frank Sinatra was a fan of
Esquivel's Las Vegas sets" So becides Esquivel recording for Frank's record
label Repirse and Sinatra liking Esquivel's music, did these two men have any
other kind of connections with each other??  Thanks for your time.


Jason

I agree with Jason.  I just bought a used copy of it today.  I quite
enjoyed it
and thought, of all the Esquivel recordings I own, this one was the nicest
sounding from a technical point of view.  I own the Bar/None samplers and
2-fers as well as an RCA sampler.

This album was recorded on 35mm, by the way.  From the notes it apparently
does
better with highs and lows (less print through and less tape noise to
contend with).  They may have been able to use 35mm to get 8 tracks,
because the diagram shows two 35mm reels running in parallel.

For some reason, who ever owned the CD before must have agreed with Music
Hound
because he or she didn't want to keep it.  Well, I am not selling mine!

Don't know much about the Sinatra-Esquivel connection but it is an interesting
question!  I, too, would be interested in knowing if the two worked
together or what they thought of each other.

Subject: (exotica) CDs

Today I bought that Star Wars lounge CD.  It was a blast.  Cocktails in the
Cantina is pretty much the brainchild of Carvin Knowles who is almost a
one-man band but works with several others as "The Evil Genius Orchestra."
Somehow they managed to get John William's Star Wars 4-6 music in a swanky
swingin' mode.  My favorite was "Han Solo and The Princess" which made me
think more of the two meeting in a cool bar somewhere than in a spaceship!

I skipped on the Ultra Lounge Tiki Sampler.  Seems I have most of the cuts
already and didn't want to shell out almost $20 for packaging.

I also passed on a Columbia release which is apparently the first in a series
of loungey type music.  They call it "Music for Gracious Living."  The
titles didn't do anything for me, but I may have made a mistake.  Anyone
heard this?  Is there a series and are the others any good?

For those who think this kind of music doesn't interest the recording
companies anymore, think again.    Pickwick started a series this year
which copies the
Ultralounge approach (so much you might confuse the two!).  They used
lesser known artists, but the one I got (for only $7 by the way...the
standard price)
called Brash and Brassy in the Lounge Sensations series had 14 selections
and well recorded and fun to listen to.  Bob Allen wrote the brief liner
notes, Pete Kline compiled the series.  This one has Peter Gunn and Perry
Mason themes performed by the RICHARD Gleason orchestra.  The Frankie Capp
Big Band does a great rendition of Montoona Clipper and also does Blues in
Hoss Flat.  Art Mooney's Orchestra does Caravan.

For the same price I could have got another in the series called "Ringa A
Ding Swing." (I didn't because the titles looked less exotic and more
standard big band swing.  Any one heard this?)  The other two in the series
are "Precocious Percussion" and "Lovers Midnight Rendezvous."

Here's what Lounge Sensations says about stereophonic sound:
"A true sterophonic disc has two distinct orthogonal modulations derived
from an original live recording in which a minimum of two separate channels
were employed."

In case you didn't know.

I can hardly believe how jaded we've become. This comment and djjimmy's comment
about it being generic, as if there is soo much of this style of exotica that
we can just write off another attempt at it.

There are a few wonderful things about this album that I think make it stand
out.  First of all Auletta pens a few originals, "The Sound of Exotica" and
"Makaha". OK they are not the best cuts, but you gotta give him credit for doing
it. Also the arrangement is not so typical since it features harp and flute
which are blended in quite nicely and help break it from the typical Denny/Lyman
ensemble. It also has some name recognition. Marty Wilson produced it and it
features Phil Bodner on flute, the man behind the Brass Ring and more than a few
sixties hip recordings.
Voodoo Moon is fantastic and the Baxter tune Pool of Love is worth just
contemplating its title.

Ted Auletta nay sayers, for shame.

Frank
