Subject: (exotica) New Exotica Book
I don't know if it's been mentioned on the list or not, but there is a new
book out called EXOTIQUARIUM: ALBUM ART FROM THE SPACE AGE. The more
informed habitues of this list may not find much new in it, but it does
offer a decent overview of the rise, fall, and rise again of
exotica/lounge/SABP music. Those who'd like a sneak peek will find a
text-and-image excerpt at:

(In the interest of full disclosure, let me add that I work at bn.com. But
I thought this would be of interest to members of this list.)

to the best of my knowledge mtv pay absolutely fuck all in mechanical
royalties. but everybodies dieing to get used by them for the exposure
because of the stranglehold mainstream media outlets have on the market. and
the big companies love it that way! they have a limited number of outlets to
plug, and the smallest number of items to plug they can get away with.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Mambo by Tjader
>CAL IS THE MAN!!
indeed he is, and i'm surprised he's not mentioned more often here. i was
delighted to pick up copies of 'several shades of jade', 'breeze from the
east' and 'soul sauce' the other day. 'breeze from the east' was the biggest
surprise and probably comes closest to being pure exotica. it sounds as if
it could have been recorded in arthur lyman's metallic dome, and dick hyman
even makes a cameo appearance with some wobbly organ lines. the opening
track has stan applebaum's driving, sinuous string arrangements in
counterpoint to a fantastically understated angular, funky guitar line.
'fuji' is beautifully ambient and has the earliest example i've heard of the
'violining' guitar technique (bringing the volumb knob up from zero as the
string is plucked). even the version of 'east of the sun' is great, and a
lovely cover too. eleven out of ten. (incidentally, david toop's 'exotica'
book mentions the fact that tjader himself hated the album, and 'almost
vomited' when he first heard the tapes.)

Another of Cal's "nearly pure exotica" albums, and a real beauty on Fantasy
(complete with colored vinyl) is "Latin For Lovers." I picked this album up a
few years ago and was also really surprised - it is only tinged with latin,
and
really has much more of a Martin Denny feel - maybe like Latin Village?
One of
my favorite *exotica* records, though jazz would be where you'd find it.

Subject: (exotica) The Wicker Man - further comments
Yes, the music works much better in the context of the film than
on its own. I highly recommend the film, even if all you can
find is the 84-minute version. One of the best of the British
horror films, and you get to see Christopher Lee in drag.
About 15 years ago, Showtime aired the long version (I think
it was around 102 minutes). Around that time, it also made the
rounds of artsy theaters.
Forgot to mention -- there is one part of the soundtrack that
is improved with the inclusion of dialog and SFX. It's the music
from the scene where Willow (Britt Ekland) tries to entice Sergeant
Howie (Edward Woodward) with her seductive song. On the CD you
can hear her butt-slapping sounds. Woo-hoo!

one-another. And I don't want the 14-year-old down the street buying
Martin Denny rec...wait a minute! Then, that's the other way to look at
it! Why wouldn't I want that for Martin Denny? Doesn't he deserve the
baby-sitting money of a 14-year-old? Of course he does. Do I want that
proverbial 14-year-old buying my album when it comes out? Of course I do.
Can't get rid of that gag-reflex, tho.

Actually, it isn't all that bad; if you really really loved the film in the
first place (and it is one of my favorites), then you'd certainly enjoy it.
While the presence of ambient sounds and dialogue in the mix was
disappointing at first, it does serve to anchor the musical pieces. That is,
in and of themselves the instrumental pieces aren't very compelling; even if
you're a fan of creepy folk, they're a little more disturbing (except for
the lovely fertility song sung by the kiddies) only in the context of the
movie. But yes, you do get to hear the buttslaps in that
seduction-of-the-Equalizer song, performed by Britt Ekland (before Rod
Stewart got his grubby paws on her).
[This was my first post, primarily because I have little to contribute: I
only own three measly exotica *CDs* (one of which doesn't really count), and
grew up in a household with a lot of vinyl, yes, but mostly of Easy
Listening dreck (Ray Conniff and his Singers, post-prepared piano Ferrante
and Teicher, etc.).]

This is true, and a good thing too! CD's saves future generations the memory
of having to flip or put on another record to hear this symphony. (*what* is
he talking about??? Let me explain)
As a teen, after seeing the 9th performed on TV I bought an LP boxed set of
all 9 symphonies.
The 1st, 2nd and 1/2 of the 3rd movement of the 9th was on one record, and
the 2nd half of the 3rd and the 4th movement on another record. I may have
listened to the 9th from this set a lot because though the years whenever I
played a CD of the 9th, or heard it on the radio, and the music gets to that
part of the 3rd where the first record ended I remember that that is the
place where my record ended.
People growing up with CD's will not have this deja vu (sp) and hear the
symphony uninterrupted. Their listening experience will be different than
mine.
Imagine how hard it was for folks growing up with 78's!
Now back to regular Exotica posts!

Yes, Dutch breweries are extrordinairy prolific at the moment,
I think this Spring Bock is probably also from "Gulpen", there's
a nice one from "Grolsch" too, and I'm sure there are many more.
Forgot to mention a very fine Old Dutch Product, Boerenjongens.
Boerenjongens, Country Boys, brandied raisins, they're totally
out of fashion (not with my mother, she gave me a pot as recently
as a week ago), but I figure they would look great in a cocktail
glass and could be a big succes at your next exotic party.
The Boerenmeisjes, Country Girls, are a bit more problematic,
brandied apricots wouldn't quite fit, would they?
Cheers, Ton

Incredible as it may seem, RCA stood behind the 45 rpm format as better than
the LP. As Peter Schickele parodied on his game show "What's My Melodic
Line?": ..."the winner receives a complete edition of Beethoven's 9
symphonies
on convenient 45 rpm records!"
What was RCA thinking?

Not much can be done for actual scratches. Skips can sometimes be fixed
with an old Garrard turntable, by finding the skip, shutting off the
turntable (Garrards won't automatically ejct when shut off) and then moving
the stylus back and forth over the skip a few dozen times. I've fixed many
skips in this manner, and I keep a flea-market Garrard TT around for just
this purpose. I guess it acts kind of like a lathe and either pops out the
crap that was making the record skip, or cuts off the deformed piece of
vinyl that made the skip. I know it sounds dopey, but it works, as I say,
about 1/2 the time.
For scratchy records, go back to the flea market/thrift store and find an
old record player (you know, the '50s kind, all in one unit with the hinged
lid; do an internet search on "stylus" or something for a new needle) and
play your trashed records on that unit. They'll sound great. Put the record
player in some other room, slap on that beat copy of Hank Williams' "Sing
Me a Blue Song", go sit at the kitchen table, open a brown bottle, and wait
for Laura Dern to show up.
Age thing? 12/19/51. I guess it shows...

It may be that old "faster speed is better" sensibility. I spent over a
decade during the 8T's and early 9T's collecting 6T's and 7T's soul 45's
that failed on the charts, but won placement in hearts, and they always were
strong fidelity-wise, but not always stereo :--(....JimmyBee/advocating a

Subject: (exotica) Jello Biafra on Os Mutantes
List people!
In the "Incredibly Strange Music, Volume 2" book, Jello Biafra of the
Dead Kennedys made a short comment on the music of Brazil's Os Mutantes.
It was something along the lines of sounding like "Sgt. Pepper" on acid.
Can somebody look this up and post exactly what he said? My local
library's copy of "ISM vol.2" wasn't on the shelves and I *really* need
to know.
Your help is greatly appreciated - thanks!

I kinda wish I had a band, so's I could name it "Headcheese." We'd
proabably be opening for "The Weasel Squeezers."

The quote is:

not,there are a lot of Spike Jones dynamics at work here.
Does that help?

Their singer was an American named Ritta Lee who to this day still makes

Now... her name is really Rita Lee and she had one big hit, "Lanca
Perfume", which was all about sniffing this drug, called "Poppers" over
here. ( You would sniff this in discos and get like a 15 seconds high
from it; I never even tried it)
For a potential world-wide success Rita Lee came up with a version of
"Lanca Perfume" with different, harmless lyrics, but failed.
I heard an Indonesian version of this song and a personal friend of
mine, who had a group called "Lost Gringos" in Duesseldorf in 1984 came
out with a German version, called "Bargeld Amore", translates like "Cash
Love", sung by 12 year old girls.

LOS ANGELES-Rhino Entertainment surfs the wave of the future with the
formation of Rhino Handmade, a Web-only imprint that will issue
limited-edition releases from Rhino-owned and -controlled archives. The
first title will be made available Monday, August 2.
Rhino Handmade releases (each one individually numbered) will be issued in
quantities as small as 1,000 copies and will be deleted as soon as this
initial run has sold out. They will be available exclusively on-line at
the Rhino Handmade Web site <http://www.rhinohandmade.com> and sold on a
first-come, first-served basis. Each release day, detailed information,
including streaming audio files and the pressing limit for the new project,
will be posted on the site.
Whether a rediscovered classic or forgotten oddity, Rhino Handmade will
span all styles of music, from rock and folk, to jazz, spoken word, and
more. Fittingly, its initial offering will be from Rhino's first artist,
Wild Man Fischer. Also upcoming is a previously unheard 1982 album from
Tower Of Power, as well as a set of Devo rarities. Current plans call for
a new release every two weeks.
Unlike most digital-download and custom-made CD-delivery systems, Rhino
Handmade will focus on material that is either out of print or that has
never before been released. And fans won't need a computer degree to
access the vaults; the new cyberlabel offers the ideal guided tour. Rhino
Handmade's smaller quantities and overhead will permit it to release titles
that might be deemed too esoteric for conventional distribution outlets.
