     I work less than a mile from the Emeryville Trader Vics and have
     lunched there a couple of times.

They are talking of starting a late happy hour from 7 - 9 pm
I am particularly interested in this because there is no way I can make it
over there from SF on a weekday for their fabulous happy hour from 5 - 7 (I
think)

would you be interested in a late happy hour there as a resident of the area?

Again a few interesting items on Forced Exposure's new releases list.
http://www.forcedexposure.com


_____________________________________________
KOSINUS (FRANCE):

PERREY, JEAN-JACQUES: Good Moog: Astral Animations
& Komputer Kartoons CD (KOS 55). "Jean-Jacques Perrey
was one half of the Perrey/Kingsley duo that, most famously,
brought us In Sound from Way Out (later parodied by the
Beastie Boys, etc...) and on his own, the track 'E.V.A.' (later
re-fashioned by Fatboy Slim, covered by something known
as 'Sure is Pure', etc...) as well as recent collabs w/"French
Band Air". Strangely enough, this is a collection of music
previously only available as a 'function music' (i.e. music for
business presentations, airline commercials, Stanley Kubrick
movies, radio plays (post Orson, natch), pagan rituals, etc...) LP
series entitled Sonosyntheses Electriques (which, incidentally,
are rare). Perhaps not quite as 'punk' as the Perrey/Kingsley set,
but still highly enjoyable/cheeky through the use of all that
trademark obsolete technology (Ondes Martenot, Ondioline,
Moog, Marimba) that the youth oh so love. I'll spare you all the
anecdote about Jean Cocteau/Edith Piaf aiding in Perrey's
departure to the US." -- Hrvatski.  $16.00

_____________________________________________
PHILIPS (FRANCE):

HENRY, PIERRE: Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent CD
(PHI 456293). Fabulously desirable reissue of the most
infamous Henry piece of them all. "Messe Pour Le Temps
Pr=E9sent" was music for ballet that was originally recorded
in 1967 in association with Michel Colombier. Henry
supposedly commissioned Colombier "to recreate the sound
textures and violent atmosphere of certain American films."
Colombier's music is a variation of fun psychedelic rock from
the time, but Henry added "jerks" -- electronic effects and
rhythmic cells in response to the work that make for spectacular
listening and a fascinating combination of the high and low brow.
His electronic sounds from this piece have been heavily
sampled in recent years and the hit track on here ("Psyche
Rock") is really something to behold. Recently, a very high
profile remix project of "Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent"
has been issued by Philips (on FRRR in the US even!) in
honor of this works' legendary status, featuring tracks from
the album remixed by the likes of Coldcut, William Orbit,
Dimitri From Paris, Fatboy Slim, Tek 9, etc. In addition, this
CD also contains the following Henry electronic works: "La
Reine Verte" (excerpt) & "Le Voyage" (1962)
- -- "It's a piece about how to approach death and the sounds
I use to convey this idea are inspired by zen. They are
dream-like and meditative and heighten the listener's
awareness." -- Henry. Also included: an excerpt of
"Variations Pour Une Porte Et Un Soupir" (full version
available on Harmonia Mundi HMA 1905200).  $28.00

HENRY, PIERRE: Remixe Sa Dixi=E8me Symphonie CD
(PHI 462821). "'In 1979 I composed a symphony titled:
"10th Symphony of Beethoven". On the basis of the
Beethoven-symphony durations I ended to the my way, by
a destructuration of the 9 symphonies. Not does not have a
musicologic analysis of the characteristics and constants of
the writing of Beethoven updated the trajectories, the possible
links, the connections,  the bridges of a symphony has the
other. By the assembly and the mixtures I introduced times of
resolution or of frustration, of prolongation or climate, cycles,
repetitions and counterpoints per guns, finally, an approach
similar has that of my works. The notes of Beethoven became
concrete sounds; I did them my way. Beethoven always
fascinated me because he invented melody-in-little-of-notes,
very strong melody, as strong as a thunder clap, as a tidal
wave, as a siren of fog. It has presented the dramatization of
the sounds; in A carves the thickness. Today the 10th
Symphony remix, it is the 10th Symphony with rhythms has
me, current: a faster rhythmicity, with beats, fright electronic,
flutters dephases, mobilities of filters, additions of
frequencies, doublings of reverberation. Beethoven is
amplified by depassment his orchestra, made more dramatic,
more human. Today it is also the scenario of an imaginary
film which is the frame of this "10th Symphony remix." Remix,
for me, it is to strike, with wanted dynamics, a new radical
sound speech. A new adventure meaning the current function
of the type-setter in the company.' -- Pierre Henry. A curious
addition to the Henry oeuvre, speculated by some as his
personalattempt in cashing in on all of that Modulations
screen-time through the addition of a certain 'Jackin''
(albeit a distant & foggy 'Jackin'') to the mix. Really, really
strange." -- Hrvatski.  $28.00

Subject: Re: (exotica) Phase 4-- are they worth it??

Hi Nicola--
   I can't vouch for any of the Phase 4 Frank Chacksfield CD rereleases you
mentioned, but I can tell you about Phase 4 and another Chacksfield LP I
think is worth picking up. Here's what the liner notes say on Chacksfield's
"Foreign Film Festival" (London SP 44112).
    Phase 4 was London Records' audiophile label from the mid-60s: glossy
gatefold jackets, star orchestras and top-flight arrangements by some of
the best in the business; think of them as a counterpart to the US Command
line. Featured Ros, Stanley Black, Chacksfield.
     In the race to perfect stereo recording and fidelity, London had a
10-channel  console mixer custom-built in 1961. It wasn't enough for the
obsessed London engineers; they wanted better sound. They got it with
stereo spectacular records unleashed on an unsuspecting world in 63 under
the Phase 4 brand name, like RCA's "Living Stereo". Phase 4s were mixed on
London's exclusive 20-channel console, which did great things to fidelity:
gleeful engineers could capture and combine 20 separate sources and
position each one as they pleased. Sound got positioned to the extreme left
or right and every point in between, and conductors gained greater
flexibility in placement of instruments in an orchestra. Alas, LPs no
longer had those cool little diagrams of instruments in the recording
studio, like the one on Cates' fabulous Polynesian Percussion record -- boo
hoo. I dig those drawings. But the Phase 4 sound is terrific.
   I really hear this on the Chacksfield Foreign Film LP, arrangements by
Roland Shaw. About half the tracks I dig because of the themes or the
instrumentation. Tasty marimba on Umbrellas of Cherbourg and A Man and a
Woman, a pretty good James Bond theme with a nice guitar bit. My favs tho
are The Good, the Bad & the Ugly and The Dark of the Sun -- way groovy
organ, a Novachord maybe? It's got a whiney sound, like the organ on the
60s hit Telstar. A good mix of moods on the record, too. Lara's Theme sucks
- -- strings so sugary they could draw ants to a picnic.
    Another Phase 4 is a favorite: A Ted Heath percussion LP ( his second
percussion record, can't recall the name) with a Cherokee guaranteed to
peel your scalp off your skull. Also have a Ros LP with doesn't stand out
much. Let me know if you'd want tapes of any of these. Maybe that will help
you decide to buy or not.

Subject: (exotica) Needlework

Can anyone give a quick primer on balancing a needle?  I've got four
different dials to work with and I have no idea what to do to get the
best sound and put the least amount of stress on my records.

We're looking at a height of the tonearm dial, a fine and coarse
adjustment for the tonearm counterweight, and also the anti-skating
dial.

Not to mention just general needle placement an alignment in the head
of the tonearm.

I have some docs that came with the needle, but which are very
technical.  I'm looking more for a why, record-wise and sound-wise, as
well as a how.  So I can see if I done it right.

Thanks,
Peter

PS: I was getting distortion for a while, because it was too light.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Phase 4-- are they worth it??

Phase 4 LPs of note, in my opinion, are some of the Ronnie Aldritch twin
piano titles.  Primarily the ones with the rock and pop tunes on them.  Some
of the arrangements are duds, but some are great with marimbas, electric
bass.  I wouldn't spend the money for CDs of these, but for $3 or $4, in good
shape, they are really good sounding and enjoyable LPs.

Regarding Chacksfield, I would avoid.  To me his records are dull.

Best wishes,
Larry

This is Big Band Bash  London SP 44017
It is now available on CD from Collector's Choice Music, www.ccmusic.com
I believe it comes with Big Band Percussion  London  SP 44002 in a twofer CD!
Chartbusters           London SP 44074
is also pretty good, with yet another version of Mack the Knife.

>Also have a Ros LP with doesn't stand out
>much.

I've got three Edmundo Ros Phase4 albums which I enjoy:
Bongos from the South  London SP 44003
Dance Again            London SP 44015
Arriba                 London SP 44080
Are there other Ros Lps?

Chacksfield is pretty sappy stuff in general, but I've found on phase 4
there is usually something of interest on his LPs.  I just wouldn't pay
very much for his albums.  I got his TV themes album (I never turn down
a TV themes album) and found maybe two selections interesting.

I just got the secret agents phase4 LP by Roland Shaw and it is pretty good!

Some of the Ronnie Aldrich LPs are cool, some not.  Same with Stanley Black
and Werner Muller. I found the Johnny Keating LPs more consistantly
interesting to me.

My general philosophy is...if you find a phase4 LP that looks interesting
and is cheap, buy it.  It might very well have at least a couple of cuts
which are really good...or the entire album.

sounds great and it gets stuck in random grooves and kinda makes for its

definitely use worn records.

Stanley Black's "Exotic Percussion" is an ESSENTIAL lp in any respectable record
collection.The sheer bombast of the album makes it one of my all time favorites.

BTW, I recently came upon a mono version on a phase 4 recording ( sound 4 )
...what's the point? In the liner notes it makes as big a deal about the sound
as on the stereo version.

On a related note, I bought an album last week by The Rose Garden (soft
rockers) and it said mono. The actual album is Side One-Stereo and Side
Two-Mono. Go figger..Jimmy

I also like "New Rhythms Of The South" a lot. There are a ton of
earlier Ros LPs, generally a lot more restrained, but there are
highlights among these too ("Ros At The Opera" is truly fabulous).

There are also two Phase 4 LPs featuring Ros together with Ted Heath:
"Heath vs. Ros" and "Heath Vs. Ros Round 2". Interesting idea, but the
first volume didn't really gel together too well; haven't heard "Round
2".

IMHO, mostly not. There's so many of them, and they are extremely
same-y. Far and away the best is "All Time Piano Hits" which features
heavy percussion with the pianorama, plus a couple of truly frenzied
pieces, "Miserlou" and "Voodoo Moon".

> Same with Stanley Black and Werner Muller.

But the good Muller albums are among the best Phase 4; look out for
"Hawaiian Swing", "On The Move" and "The Sumptuous Strings Of The
Werner Muller Orchestra". Even his lesser output usually has a couple
of good tracks (not always, though).

Very true.

I finally got this a couple of weeks ago. Great. Lots of funny little melodies.
Cheers you up when you're down. Makes those sunny days even sunnier!

I found this on LP a couple of years ago. Essential. As someone mentioned
recently, there are similarities between Perrey's 'E.V.A.' and Henry's 'PsychΘ
Rock'. There's a remix CD of a couple of Henry tracks too.

Subject: (exotica) [obits]Leo Frank,Ronny Graham,Angus MacDonald,Helen Forrest,Marcelo Ricardo Chacon

    CLEVELAND, July 9 (UPI) -- A Sunday funeral is planned for nationally known
former Cleveland nightclub owner Leo Frank, who was credited with helping
start the careers of such artists as Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin and
Stevie Wonder.
    He died Thursday from respiratory failure and pneumonia, two weeks after
being honored during a ceremony designating the former site of his nightclub
- -- Leo's Casino -- as an historic rock-and-roll landmark.
    Warwick told the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer the nightclub gained national
prominence during the 1960s and early 1970s among black singers and
comedians. ``Leo was the reason a lot of us worked. When times were tough,
he made sure we all had jobs.
    ``Everyone who became anything passed through Leo's Casino.''
    Numerous artists rearranged their schedules to attend last month's
ceremony, including Jerry ``Iceman'' Butler, Chuck Jackson and Martha Reeves.
    The Plain Dealer said that between 1963 and 1972, musical acts such as
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles,
the Supremes, the Temptations and the Four Tops all performed at Frank's
nightclub. It was at Leo's Casino that Otis Redding gave his last
performance before being killed in a plane crash in 1967.
    The club also served aso a springboard for comics such as Richard Pryor,
Flip Wilson and Redd Foxx. Dick Gregory once called Leo's Casino ``the most
fully integrated nightclub in America.''
    Frank is survived by his wife of 22 years, Sharon, a son, two daughters and
three grandsons.
- -------------------------------------
                           *Ronny Graham
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ronny Graham, who wrote episodes of ``M-A-S-H'' and
``The Mary Tyler Moore Show,'' died Sunday. He was 79.
    Graham also collaborated with Mel Brooks on such films as ``The
Inquisition,'' ``History of the World, Part I,'' ``Spaceballs'' and ``To Be
or Not to Be.''
- ------------------------------------------
                          *Angus MacDonald
    LONDON (AP) -- Pipe Major Angus MacDonald, considered one of the world's
best bagpipers, died June 25. He was 60.
    The place and cause of death were not given.
    MacDonald won the prestigious title Piobaire Os Cionn Chaich, or ``piper
above all others'' in 1981. Throughout his 27-year military career in the
Scots Guards, MacDonald served as household piper to Queen Elizabeth II, a
personal piper to the governor of Edinburgh Castle and a senior instructor
at the Army School of Piping.
    MacDonald was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1983.
- -----------------------------------------------------
                           *Helen Forrest
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Helen Forrest, who sang with big bands from Artie Shaw
to Benny Goodman, died Sunday of heart failure. She was 82.
    Ms. Forrest was ``the most famous of all the big band singers'' and
recorded more than 500 songs, said Alan Eichler, her publicist.
    Among her best-known recordings were ``All the Things You Are,'' with Shaw;
``The Man I Love,'' with Goodman and ``I Don't Want to Walk Without You''
and ``I Had the Craziest Dream,'' with Harry James.
    She also teamed with Dick Haymes on popular recordings and a long-running
radio show.
    Ms. Forrest -- born Helen Fogel in Atlantic City, N.J. -- also appeared in
the 1940s films ``Private Buckaroo,'' ``Bathing Beauty,'' ``Springtime in
the Rockies,'' and ``Best Foot Forward.''
    In 1940, she gained some notoriety for recording with Lionel Hampton's
band. ``Back then, for a white singer to record with a black orchestra was
very unusual,'' Eichler said.
    Ms. Forrest also made some waves when she replaced Billie Holliday as the
vocalist for Shaw in 1938.
    For a while before Ms. Holliday left to start a solo career, both women
sang for the band and took their places on the bandstand. When some theater
operators required the black singer to stay off stage until performance
time, Ms. Forrest announced she would do the same.
    ``She wanted Billie to have the same rights she had,'' Eichler said.
- ----------------------------
   HAVANA, July 10 (AFP) - Marcelo Ricardo Chacon, believed to be the most
tattooed man in the world, died here at age 77 after a heart attack, the
newspaper Juventad Rebelde said Saturday.
   A native of Pueblo Nuevo, 100 kilometers (60 miles) east of here, the man
known as "Chacon el Taino" came to the capital wanting to become a sailor.
   His entire body was tattooed with political, cultural and social events
that he witnessed from Casa Blanca -- a small, rough and colorful
neighborhood on Havana Bay.
   Although he never professed a faith, in last years of life he cheered
those who did, wearing his many necklaces and bracelets and playing his
tumbadora (drum) near the Cathedral Plaza in Old Havana.
   Chacon willed all his savings to child-care center in his neighborhood,
the newspaper said.
   Some of his neighbors have expressed an interest in turning his small
house into a museum to preserve his necklaces and musical instruments, among
other mementos.
