    More music from "Peter Gun"
    CD, RCA Living Stereo 29857 2, Germany, 1995


        visit The "eXotica Releases Overview":
        http://bewoner.dma.be/Dada/


From: [e-mail]

Also ran across a new issue of Peter Gunn on RCA which has not only the
entire first album but several cuts from "More Peter Gunn" (which, of
course, means that the rest of "More Peter Gunn" won't be released on CD).

OK, I hope I remember all of this correctly:

When you transform the native languages of Tonga, Hawaii and other South sea
cultures into Western Latin letters, you have to do this based on how the
sounds  are spelled in a specific Western language. If you take English for
example as the reference language you have to spell the word "taboo". However
Hawaii, Tonga etc. chose German as their reference way back; the word pronounced
as the English "taboo" would be spelled "Tabu" in  German, which is how
Hawaiians etc. actually write this word in their own languages today.

In the special case of the actual word "Tabu" another fact might be interesting:
The word came into Western culture by mistake: When Murnau made his film "Tabu"
in  Bora Bora in 1931, a little island next to Bora Bora played a significant
role: It was the island of the gods and no man was allowed to enter it. It was
called Tapu. Despite native threats Murnau did enter the island and built a
house for himself on it. Because he did not die immediately he was seen by the
natives as a kind of god after that. Later though, the hut burnt down
mysteriously (none of the natives admitted having done it, they claimed "it was
the gods"), and after his return to America Murnau died in a car crash soon
after the making of this film, his last one, "Tabu". The word however became a
synonym for "forbidden, sacred" from then on.

> Tabu on the second???

You have to ask that KBZ 200; I can only guess: either because they want to use
the term as it is used in the south seas as a kind of respect to those people or
simply because they, the makers of the Exotica Trilogy, live in Berlin, Germany.

Took my kiddle to the movies last weekend and
surprisingly the Muppets from Space movie had a cool
tiki party scene in it. Pepe the King Prawn and Rizzo
the Rat hypnotize Gonzo into believing .... "Build a
Jacuzzi and They Will Come.."  Gonzo builds a jacuzzi
and they have a bitchen tiki party! They're all
wearing little tiny aloha shirts and drinking garishly
garnished drinks from little tiny tiki mugs. If you
have kids - take 'em. The movie's too cute. All the
music is 70's funk.

Subject: (exotica) united future organisation

just got the new UFO album, 'bon voyage' over the weekend and it's a
spanking piece of dancefloor jazz. i love the way they keep original vocals
in club music. exotica content? well, larger latin feel than usual, arabic
melodies, and on the last track, jungle exotica with animal noises, (and a
groove to scare the most intrepid dancer). modern exotica. plus it's
japanese and i'm illogically attracted to japanese music (though i should
point out this sounds about as japanese as dj krush).

in the charity shops this weekend i bought a morton subotnik concerto for
violin and elecronic noise, because jack diamond was always raving about him
here some time ago. wasn't exactly blown away but it's always nice to have
old elecronic music.

Not a bad little batch:

Arthur Lyman "Bahia"=20

James Barretto "Senior 007" - Great cover of Esquivel look-alike Barretto =
with golden gun posed in "action shot" while two 60's babes hang onto him. =
 Musically, it's not as "over-the-top" as you always hope these Bond =
interpretations will be.  Surprisingly "laid back" jazz interpretations of =
the Bond stuff.  Not bad.

Chet Atkins "Teensville" - Never heard Chet, but love that "big twangy =
guitar sound" even if the tempos are bit on the slower side.......Fun =
cover of guitars suspended in mid-air while teens dance their asses off in =
the background.

Music from "I Spy" - Great theme song, the rest (I only listened to side A =
so far) sounds like "cool 'n mellow jazz" - good stuff but don't expect =
blaring horns and a driving beat.

Good one! Bahia's one of my favorite Lyman lps.

You should look out for Chester and Lester (Paul), CA
Picks on the Beatles and his Latin-style lp (can't
recall title).

I found a couple of fun things over the weekend: Stero
gatefold copy of Lyman's Yellow Bird; Percussion with
Guitars on the Time Label (arranged by Al Caiola.
Great stereo-sploitation record. Killer version of
Jazz Pizzicato). Batman Themes by the Batboys - some
Jazz-like tracks, others (such as theme) sound like
surf guitar lurking behing an assertive Hammond).

Urrrgh!  I found this LP (sans jacket) painfully wedged into a "naked" =

Oh yeah, I also picked up a (surprisingly) good bossa nova album by "The =

"Girl" is a decent female vocal track, all the rest are good bossa =

Yeah, Bahia is one of Lyman's best - lots of frenzied bongos/drums on many =

A GATEFOLD "Yellow Bird?" must be a re-issue?

Those TIME percussion albums have some frenetic stuff on 'em that's for =

Here I should probably add that my lp, though
jacketed, looks as though it washed up on the beach.
It is playable, no skips - just gotta tolerate the
sound of worms sizzling in the skillet.

Ah - the other lp I picked up was Astrud Gilberto: The
Shadow of Your Smile. On Verve, and not bad, though
not so good as recordings with husband and Getz. Oh
Christ - almost forgot. In a used lp store I dropped
$6 for the UK import single of Jane B's duet with
Gainsbourg. Although I have both single and lp
already, this one came with a rather stunning stunning

I'll chance a no on that - the mono version, the only
copy I had hitherto come across, is non-gatefold.

Yessir. Great lp. Not overly diverting to the eye.

Lucky you! The only thing I ever found in my mother's

That is it. Boy is that one informative record album.
I was hoping, when i yanked my copy from the congeries
of vintage unter-shorts, that it would be his Exotic
Percussion. But dammit, it was not.

Another fine find. I'm still hoping to find a
replacement for my stereo copy of Movin' and Groovin'

Subject: (exotica) At the borders of reality... :)

Last saturday nite I was at a local community radio (Radio Citta', from my
hometown Pescara) together with my friend Shadrach. We went to visit our
friends TGTH and Cerin0 who host two very strange programmes every saturday.
TGTH's program begins at 11PM and goes on until 1AM.... it's called "Ai
confini della realta'", which literally means "At the borders of reality"
(but this is the Italian title for "The Twilight Zone" :)))) and he uses
the opening voices from Twilight Zone). This program consists in all sorts
of weird music, ranging from dark ambient/isolationism to gabber/hardcore
techno. He sometimes plays not-so-obscure electronic stuff like Orbital or
Spring Heel Jack, but alway in
 -er- let's say *a unique mixing style* :)
He often has guests playing with old home computers or things like that.
So this time Shadrach presented a track from his new cd single "La tua
faccia/Soli" (sort of Prodigy meets punk rock with Italian lyrics) which is
coming soon on cd-r on my label Kutmusic; I carried various cds and some
vinyl 7".
We used large bits of PLU's "Hate people like us" (TGTH played a lot with
Coil's voice on Vicki Bennet's answering machine while I played most of the
Negativland track and other bits... especially some of the lounge samples
;)))))
Here's a list of the vinyls (all weird Italian 7"'s which I find in flea
markets) I used:
- -Franco Micalizzi "Albert e l'Uomo Nero" dark soundtrack music from a 1976
(probably horror-themed) Italian tv-movie...
- -Liriche d'amore dell'Antica Cina: a collection of translated Chinese love
poems from 1956.
- -Pino Calvi "Enigma" - more tv soundtrack music, but from 1980.
- -L'Ingegner Giovanni e Famiglia (!!!) - "Telstar / Solaris". Ehm... two
covers of funny electronic tracks (dated January 1973!!!)
- -Tony Ranno "Fregami": useless, ridiculous pop/rock singer from early 80's.
The title sounds like "Cheat on me" but it might also mean "Fuck me"...
;))))))))))
some atmospheric keyboard stuff at the beginning but I used it for the lyrics.
- -Roberto Cotumaccio "Sognando la mia citta'" - even more useless 1988
promotional disc with a song about my town, Pescara. Pretty ridiculous.
We also stayed for Cerino's techno/gabber program (1AM-2AM) and had fun
watching him and TGTH stopping the music to scream in the microphones
(Cerin0 does also a great imitation of the computer's voice from Wargames
saying "Hello, Professor Falken" ;)))))
A nice way to spend a saturday nite. :)

p.s. yesterday TGTH told me that some of his listeners called him to ask
about the weirdo manipulating vinyl during his show... ;))))

The first Derek & Ray record that I came upon was The Keyboard Sounds of Today!
(RCA 3665) not to be confused with the one you mentioned which shares the same
title. After being overwhelmingly enthusiastic about this album I grabbed three
other D&R records including the one you have, Interplay, and I must admit I was
a little disappointed.  The Keyboard Sounds Of Today is a rockin' good time in
that sort of NowSound, kinda Mod, Hip, happening way. The other albums just
don't live up to it and it's not so much that they do anything that different
it's rather a question of song selection. Excellent versions of The Green Hornet
Theme, The Work song and Modesty Blaise theme not to mention Spanish Flea and
Delicado.
So, what is it about the harpsichord being a central element to that Groovy
sixties sound. Where on earth did that come from? Wasn't there a sixties groovy
look that called for wearing Baroque styled garb, you know frilly cuffs and the
like, you think the harpsichord sound was a part of this?
Anyhow back to Derek and Ray. I have a Derek Smith album where he plays Piano,
Harpsichord and Organ (Lowrey I think). The organ cuts are the best the rest is
a bit too like jazz, real jazz.

Well "The Keyboard Sounds of Today!"  (RCA 3665) sounds like the album to
hear.  According to the liner notes the "The Keyboard Sounds of Today!" album
that I have followed 2 albums by Derek & Ray on which they both played piano
in a much straighter jazz orchestral fashion.  So it must have taken them a
couple of tries to build up their speed and hit peak groovieness with the
album that you enjoy.

By the way what are the titles of the other two Derek & Ray albums that you
have?

Help, I just became entranced by the cover photo of the Ames Brothers
on "The Blend and the Beat".
They are telling me that I will most definitely have troubled dreams
with their evil grimaces playing a central role. What's with these guys?
Their incredibly fake smiles and squinty eyes have that look like they
are all too knowing about your most embarrassing secret and are ready
and willing to spread that news to all....
I recall now how a friend of mine once mentioned how angry their version
of Besame Mucho sounded. And the lyrics to Night train !  "Night train,
that took my baby far away.." and " My mama said I'd loose her if I'd
ever to abuse her..."  Ok, so she's gone, meaning.. he did abuse her!
My god, I've got goose bumps  picturing the Ames bothers as the kind of
goons that will beat the crap out of you just cause you "looked funny at
them".
Thanks for indulging my fears upon a schlock vocal quartet.

Not that it shockes me that much, but in Dutch "kutmusic",
"kutmuziek", means very, very lousy music, "kut" being the
most dirty word for the female genital organ...

Cheers, Ton

Subject: (exotica) Phono Preamp

Geekiness, again. . .

Some people might have run across the problem of needing to connect a
turntable to something (amp, powered speakers) that only has line-level
inputs. Or if you want to be like Jane Fondle and go for the dual-table
setup, where do you plug in the second one?

Well, you jump from the cigarette-pack-sized phono preamps that sell for
about $25 (I got a Taiwanese one from Pfanstiel which frankly sucked),
straight to the $100-200 audiophile models--which just sounded like way
too much money to me.

So I did some research, ordered about twelve bucks worth of parts from
http://www.mouser.com, and built my own--which to my eternal amazement
seems to work and sound fine. I don't consider myself to know very much
about electronics at all, but if you have some background in soldering-type
projects I could probably talk you through it. Email me off-list for
details.

This came from me wanting to have the turntable go directly into the
computer, for burning CD-Rs. The way things had been set up, I needed to
sprint off to the next room every time I wanted to lift the tonearm. . .

cheers,

 --Ross

How strange!  To me they'd always looked like the sort of guys that,
when the records stopped selling, they'd go back to running their ice
cream vans, stopping to ring home every now and then to make sure
momma's ok.

Are they still with us?

Check out this web page. Fred has pictures of Mancini albums. 2 for More
Peter Gunn.

   Link:      Mancini page of Fred West
   URL:       <http://home.wxs.nl/~fredwest/mancini.html>

He used to have on this page an unusual Peter Gunn cover with, as you
described it,  rectangles, mostly yellow or orange.  Maybe if we ask Fred he
could put it back. I want to compare it to a Living Stereo album I have
called Overture, Overture.

Yes, what a relief.

Another source of much hilarity is the male equivalent, "lul".
Try listening again to Sinatra crooning "There's a lull in my life".

No English word comes anywhere close to the Dutch word for the actual deed,

For some reason, Jack comes off as somewhat "hipper" than Andy, despite who
Andy was married to and the fact that he covered SO MANY unlikely sixties

Thanks for this!  I'll sleep better.  I wonder if Jack Jones still has the
