Yes they did. It was not my fault. Actually they forced me. Here's a

(Moritz, Magy and Jane Fondle) -Hey Hans! On the 27:th of July you shall
write a strange message with "Incredibly Strange Message" in the subject!
 (Me) -But that sounds really ridiculous to me.
(Moritz, Magy and Jane Fondle) -Shut up bloody newcomer and listen to this:
We just can't have a list discussing incredibly strange music, with noone
writing an incredibly strange message, that to us would be a very strange
list, so someone has got to do it, and it happens to be you!

...no to be quite honest with you, I was listening to a Caramba LP, and
then tried writing a letter with their strange language. There is really
strange music in Swedish Caramba's (incl. ABBA engineer Michael B. Tretow)
secret classic: "Hubba Hubba Zoot-Zoot". They did a whole LP with that
strange language. If you haven't heard it, have a look at the great Hubba

I totally agree widja. I gave my copy of "Sacre Bleu" away. The "stylish
girl" thing (sampled from Breakfast at Tiffany's I think) goes on and on and
ON relentlessly.

Also I looove your description of clubland. Don't think Dmitri's quite fast
or banging enough for the crystal boys though.

I'll answer your snide questions below:


 So tell me Ashley, what is the "correct" opinion to have of the music of
 Dimitri?

There is no "correct" opinion of the album. While the album is not the most
amazing record ever released , does have its flaws, and is somewhat dated in
style (it was originally released over 2 years ago after all). It does
however remain rather a landmark record of the important French
electronic/dance movement as well as being a prime example of excellent use
of samples from the kind of "lounge" or "incredibly starnge' music that this
list is all about. In fact by using these samples this album has gone a long
way in the electronic and dance community to give more relevance to the music
list exotica list talks about rather than relegating it to examples of cheese
which is where most of the rock press after initially flirting with it placed
it.

 What is the proper tone that I should use when mentioning Dimitri?

I use an even-toned vocal inflection.

 Is it OK for me to like the artist that I mentioned above?

You can like whatever you want.


 Where should I buy my shoes?

Personally I don't care where you buy your shoes, but I can suggest where you
wear them.

Then there's always the Hi-Los who have done at least one beautiful bit
of wordless vocal (Summer Sketch).

I'm sure their "successors", Singers Unlimited have too.

And the Free Design did plenty of "Ba Ba Ba"-ing on Spaced Out...

Oh and I would imagine *their* successors, the Star-Scape Singers, have
done a bit too!

Astroslut's web page will soon be up...and we plan to
put MP3 files on there...It has been suggested that we
put entire song(s) on it, rather than, or in addition
to, excerpts.  I am not so sure I am comfortable with
that...because of the old "home taping kills new
music" ethic of the 8ts.  However, we want to make
everybody happy-n-stuff.
What is the value of putting up entire song(s) -v-

Okay.

Leda Annest
Portrait of Leda
Composed and Conducted by Phil Moore
Columbia WL 114
from Adventures in Sound series

The whole record is wordless vocals with orchestra.  From the notes:

"The girl re-creates the human animal in totality that poor dissected
specimen on whose behalf no antivivisectionist society has yet been formed,
the dismantled creature of today's world on whose every nostril and
extremity there are a dozen authorities."

huh?

better this:

"Leda sings not to the ears but to the sympathetic nervous system."

As far as I know she only did one album, but this is incredible.  What a
range,
what animal passion!

Unfortunately it is one long thing, so difficult to break up for small
doses... but for listening at home (and not for playing on the radio) it is
incredible and you want to listen to it all.

    funny you say that, i would recommend the opposite ;-)
    this is a re-post:

    French version:

    This French issue has a couple of tracks not found on the US issue:
"La rythme et la cadence", "Free ton style", the mystery bonus track based
upon Mancini's "Lujon", and a short dialogue fragment "Melancholique? Mon
cu". "Dirty Larry" appears in a  different, shorter version.

    USA version:

    Not only the cover is different from the French issue; missing are:
"La rythme et la cadence", "Free ton style", the mystery bonus track based
upon Mancini's "Lujon", and a short dialogue fragment "Melancholique? Mon
cu". "Dirty Larry" appears in a totally different and longer "Crue-L Grand
Orchestra Remix" (8:04) by enji Takimi; the French version has a techno
beat, while this remix is much more gentle on the nerves. Extra tracks not
found on the French issue are: "Love love mode" (7:05), and another bonus
mystery track that I called "Love love love" (4:19). The track "Epilogue"
is not mentioned on the track list, but it is  found after track 18.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Dimitri From Paris

My two cents on Dimitri...

I bought the LP (Euro version, double vinyl) when it first came out,after
already liking "Free Ton Style" as a 12". Thought it was good, but could be
a lot better. Kinda the same electronic trick on each track with the loops,
but still pleasant and as a DJ, the kind of stuff you can play that is nice
and fairly crowd-pleasing. "Une very stylish fille" got used for a
commerical in the UK, which also helped for the DJ set. "Free ton Style" is
a beautiful mellow house track - nothing one would gurn on speed to.
Although it is modern and elecronic, it certainly has nothing to do with
raves - I know...I dance to techno at will and promote the sound for a
living. It's chilled beats that could be MUCH more creative, but is very
pleasant if you just take it for what it is. More to do with trip hop than
techno. Electronica than lounge, although it has lots of influences from
exotica/lounge.

Like it. Kept it. Play it. Look forward to more. Dimitri DJs house. Not
lounge or beatz. He's not bad. Very sexy and friendly. I'm a fan, but not a
groupie. (Meaning I enjoy, but don't worship at the altar of...)

The library in my hometown sold its vinyl collection about 5 years ago. Of
course I was there and I got about 100 LPs. Unfortunately all the jazz albums
were gone, but all of the electronic and modern classical albums were still
there. One great find was an album with Musique ConcrΦte by Pierre Schaeffer. I
also got the copy of 'Hot Rats' that introduced me to Frank Zappa about 10
years earlier. I still cherish that record.

Does anyone know who this cat is?  Apparently, he wrote the tunes that
played during some of the chases on the Scooby Doo show.

Does he have any pedigree beyond that?  Was he part of Our Gang or the
Archies or anything like that?  Anyway, it's not really Soft Pop, but
is pretty good bubblegum music, with cuts like "I'm in Love with an
Ostrich".

Also, occasionally Spanky reminded me of, pretty obviously, a
sub-standard Mamas and the Papas, but also Tommy James and the
Shondells.

I dunno.  Pretty mainstream, but that's what they reminded of, so
there.

Subject: (exotica) Littleton Rounds

While visiting pals in Littleton (yes, that Littleton
- - a town that screams "I deserve obscurity" despite
itself), I hit a couple of thrift shops and found:

A ceramic coconut mug (I know, I don't care either,
but I like to share)
Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond. Neato late 50s or
early 60s supernaturally focused TV show soundtrack.
Features such electro gimmickry as the trautonium and
the novachord. Contains the tune Fear, later covered
by The Ventures - with female ooh-ah wordless vocals.

Neal Hefti's Batman ST.

The Addicts Sing.

Merrill Womack (sp?): Merrill. This is a 1980 followup
to his 1st, featured in Biafra's section of ISM. Big
(Freddie) Krugeresque mug on the front: some fun
covers of Bridge Over Troubled Water (Try Face Over
Sizzling Skillet), Blowin In the Wind and other happy
hippie tunes. This guy's puss looks like it did hard
time on the critical end of a rocket booster. That is
the only merit of his records.

A statement with no examples. How refreshing to read an uninformed opinion!
Which Spanky songs remind you of lesser versions of which Mamas and Papa's
songs? Which albums of Spanky's do you find lesser than which Mamas and Papas
albums? Not that these are fighting words, but since my reaction to Spanky's
music is that its far more eclectic and varied than Mamas and Papas, I find
your Glittering Generality puzzling......But a quick word on the Mamas and
Papas.  For Soft pop fans their early 7T's LP "People Like Us" is superb and
I do mean superb. Overlooked and underloved, this is the pinnacle of all they
were striving for and never achieved because they were always trying to sing
too hard. On this LP, I think their last,. they finally get those soft vocals
right, and the music has a sitar sound and a fuzz guitar in the background
that adds fuel to the softness. The price is generally low on this one. Few
dealers seem to value it......Jimmy Botticelli/use some today

Wow.  I've just been on the list for a week and there's already been two

Neither did I (drat!) but I see it's still available through a couple of
places at http://www.gemm.com/ though whether the dealers
advertising it there actually still have copies - I have to say I'm a
little dubious!

Don't all rush at once now...

Subject: (exotica) Vive le Gumby Electronique!

My sleeping has been rather erratic of late, so I woke up at three AM and
flipped to the Cartoon Network and they were showing Gumby.  He was on the
moon, but what was in the background was wonderfully odd sine-wave
generator stuff.  No hummable melodies and very fitting.  The credits
listed, I believe a "Jeff Gerber" for music.  Do I have the correct name
(the other name I gleaned from the Internet Movie Database was John Seely,
also known for later Warner Bros. music.).

Any info on Gerber?
