Subject: (exotica) Re:The Three Suns Sound

    According the liner notes for The Three Suns "My Reverie", which by
chance I just happened to spin last night, "The boys were the first musicians
ever to employ their combination of guitar, accordion and organ.  Their
success has produced many imitators, but none have managed to duplicate the
sure touch and feeling for melody which has made them such a hit."
    While I don't believe for a minute that they were the first, they
certainly were the first trio to have such sucess both artistically and in
terms of popularity.  The liner notes for that lp, by the way, also explains
the reason for their success - " They play the kind of music most people want
to hear and they play it the way most people want to hear it."  This odd
explanation, for some reason, just cracks me up.
    I have one album which is a blatant Three Suns imitation - Mood Rhapsody
by The Three Tops.  Organ - Guitar - Accordion.  I don't know how much closer
in name they could've gotten! The Three Planets maybe? On the Crown label.
It sounds like an imitation of the suns at their lamest, but at least there's
no string section.

Subject: Re: (exotica) A Rhino Hand Job

What do I think?  I was expecting something a little more exciting than
latter day Wild Man Fischer for their big first release.  If this is the
amazingly exciting collectors material they are going to be releasing I think
that limited edition pressings of 1000 may be TOO MANY.

Someone had said that the second release was rumored to be early singles only
and unreleased Devo.  That stuff has been on bootleg for years and is
actually very good.  Much better, to me, than the official Devo recordings.

However, it looks as if that will not be the second release.  Too bad.

I have serious doubts about "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes" or Frank
Comstock being on the list of potential future releases.  Seems more likely
we'll get CD reissues of the early Rhino wrestling albums.

Best wishes,
Larry

The King Dapper Combo, Enoch Light, & Federico Fellini Present...
AN EVENING FOR THE JET SET!

At the luxurious Highland Theater
826 W. Market St., Akron, Ohio USA

Saturday August 14, 1999, 7:30 PM

Admission:
$5.00 for the fabulously and stylishly dressed jet setter
$7.00 for the common cur

* YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SEE THE KING DAPPER COMBO? - Maybe, as Zombo and
the gang begin a rest from their exciting lifestyle. Or, maybe not.
Definitely your last chance to see NE Ohio's zany hipsters any time in
the near future, and perhaps *ever*. And that's not a risk anyone should
take.

* THE FINEST AND FELLINIEST IN EUROPEAN CINEMA! - Fellini's 1963
cosmopolitan classic _8 1/2_ on the Highland's gargantuan screen.

* DANCE TO THE INTERNATIONAL BEATS OF ENOCH LIGHT! - Incorporating the
4th Annual (and probably final -- these things are a lot of work!)
regional birthday memorial celebrations of late Canton-born music legend
Enoch Light and the 40th anniversary of his swingin' Command Records
label. Prepare to Twist, Cha Cha, Frug, Hully Gully, Rhumba, Mashed
Potato, Merengue, Bossa Nova, and Bostella as DJ Tothar transforms the
Highland into a transcontinental Discotheque with the hi-fi sounds of
Light and his contemporaries.

NOTE: After its humble beginnings in Canton in 1996, the first Enoch
Light memorial birthday-a-go-go party spawned simultaneous Enoch Light
events the next two years in Minneapolis, Boston, Columbus, New York
City, Cleveland, San Francisco, Kent, and Edinburgh, Scotland. True Jet
Setters will also want to experience the 1999 Light synchronicity in the
San Francisco bay area at the Beauty Bar on Tuesday August 17th.
Something special may happen at midnight, as Light's actual birthdate was
August 18th. For information on the San Francisco event, contact Otto Von
Stroheim at [e-mail]

We might be doing a small run of Command 40th Anniversary commemorative
T-shirts this time around. Shirts were something I didn't have time for
last year, and *maybe* I'll pull it off this year. If you definitely want
one and you're from out of town, tell me what shirt sizes and what
quantity and I'll get back with you with a file attachment with the
design. Figure $12 post-paid per shirt, with lower prices on shipments of
multiple shirts.

Contact me at the address below, or Zombo at [e-mail] , with any
questions about this event.

Subject: (exotica) Three Suns site updates 8/1/99

Hey folks:

Thanks *so much* to everybody who sent me compliments and contributions
for my Three Suns Web site. You ain't seen nuthin yet! I just wanted to
let you know I finally put the site through a big overhaul, still at:

http://members.tripod.com/~ThreeSuns/

The most significant development is the new site navigation. Other
addtions/areas:

* "ON A MAGIC CARPET" - a page of Three Suns and Space Age Pop related
links; let me know if I should have your site listed but I left it out.

* "THE THINGS I LOVE IN HI-FI" - a forum for Movers & Groovers everywhere
to submit their fan comments for posterity (or just for my personal
amusement if they don't want them posted)

* A bare-bones, as-complete-as-possible discography page, until the areas
other than the "Living Stereo Era" get all their scans, track listings,
and liner notes together. Additions and corrections very much welcome!
Any RCA reel-to-reel or 8-track historians out there who can supplement
with other format information?

* Recording session log info and musician rosters in the Living Stereo
discography area for _Twilight Memories_ and the two albums probably of
most interest to most of us here: _Fever & Smoke_ and _Movin' &
Groovin'_. Thanks, Irwin!!!

* A couple of news items on the new main menu page.

FYI, the site should be respectably viewable in most browser
environments, but it definitely looks best in a  Javascript-compatible,
4.x version Netscape/Explorer browser on an 800x600 monitor with at least
thousands of colors.

Thanks everybody for your support!

Back when we started this thread, this was the stuff I was mostly talking
about. And it's still the stuff I'm mostly interested in.  I can see how
they're actually two semi-distinct categories but for me they go together.
I believe this whole discussion began with The Free Design and even though
they don't have much happening instrumentally, I can't imagine anything
much more "psychedelic" than "Kites are Fun".

>recently came across some of this type of thing with bands like the
>sunshine company, the three ring circus, sweetwater.

Buying a Free Design compilation and then finding a Sunshine Company LP was
what started this thing for me.  Then there were the records I already had
or the bands I was familiar with but didn't have the records anymore.  I
had the Three Ring Circus LP for a while but mostly listened to the
instrumental side.  Then this thread started and I fell in love with their
tune "Lovin Machine".
And I rebought the first Association LP, which had been one of the first
records I ever owned and loved.

Some of the psychedelic hippy rock veers away from "soft rock" and actually
rocks.  Some of the soft rock was made by certified psychedelic hippies.
And some of it was folk-rock.
Then there's the Fifth Dimension's version of "Sunshine of your Love".
And has anyone heard any of Keith Textor's NON-Stereo Action records?  You
could probably even squeeze an "Up with People" cut onto a soft rock/hippie
rock tape.
And then there are those two classic Toronto bands The Paupers and The
Kensington Market.  Surviving members of those bands would hate to be
included in this category I'm sure.  At some point in every show, the two
Paupers guitarists would play percussion and the bass player would play a
long "solo" in front of three percussionists.
But they have tunes that fit for me.  Same with Every Mother's Son.

When I make my definitive tape, it'll be all over the place.  I'll probably
even include some Ultimate Spinach.

Besides, what could be more psychedelic, more like an acid trip, more
liable to bring on acid flashbacks (or homicidal hallucinations) than the
Free Design's "Kites are Fun"?

Subject: Re: (exotica) what is cheese, again

Looks like all questions answered about "cheese".... it was a short but
very interesting discussion, in my opinion. Let me just add this:


Although I understand Nat's point (of defining what "cheesy" means), I
tend to see it like Frank. I remember this time in the late 70s, when
all things "cheesy" (B-movies, weird clothes) suddenly became hip.
Values were twisted. At that time you could still say, I like something,
*because* it is cheesy. It was the time of Punk, in fact it was what
Punk was all about.
But today? Any stupid talk-show tries so hard to feature oh-so-cheesy
things, because they are *so* "funny"... I must admit: I can't stand it
anymore. If this It's-cheesy-that's-why-I-like-it-game is so
predictable, it has lost its entire irritainment-factor. It's neither
cool, nor funny, nor does it open any new door of tabu worlds. So I
arrive at Frank's point of view:

>The key is that things I like I don't consider as cheesy, kitsch, camp,
etc. .
>If I like it it's damned good and it would hardly matter if the
consensus
>opinion told me otherwise. I would challenge others to take this point
of
>view.

nothing to add to this

Exotic Art - Mati Klarwein

The psychedelic hyper-realism of Mati Klarwein is legendary. This
completely under-rated painter has created the most beautiful exotic
landscapes and manic erotic mandalas in art history. Friend of Dali he
belongs to the first generation of psychedelic art. The record covers he
designed are world-famous, unlike the man who has made them: Miles
Davis' "Bitches Brew" and Santana's "Abraxas", to mention just two.

http://www.art-bin.com/art/aklarwein.html

This gallery seems to sell the "Abraxas" painting! If any of you is
rich, BUY this painting. I guarantee, one day Mati will be seen as one
of the top artists of the 20th century:

Subject: (exotica) cheese

Now theres a tricky one, should we embrace the word,  rob it of its power
(cf the N-word,  that other C-word).  I myself had the C-word foisted on me,
and have come up with the exotic variation below to feebly try and add some
mystery.  I think its a complete loser though.  It does have the bad
connotations,  but for me, its music that makes me happy.  I love the sound
of Organs,  Farfisas,  Hammonds,  I just love 'em.  Now its hard to describe
a lot of it as anything but Cheesy,  overblown,  silly melodied,  fun,
happy, music.  And a lot of my friends listen to it and say,  'Well,  this
is all a bit cheesy,  isn't it?'.

And I can't deny it.

I could go on.  But really,  ...... I want to go on,  but it just turns into
dribble and matters of taste.  Which is the problem.

Subject: (exotica) return to peter thomas pt V

After posting the question on peter Thomas a couple of weeks ago I now have
a copy of Space Patrol (Raumpatrouille(?)), courtesy of Jill Mingo,  Thanks
Jill.  Its funny the difference between responses you get posted to the list
and those sent directly,  Through the list the consensus was 'Warp back to
Earth is not very good,  Space Patrol is better'  and off list it was more
'I like Warp Back to Earth,  don't care for the remixes, like Moonflowers
and Miniskirts and not too sure about Space Patrol'.

I can see that Space Patrol more fits the idea of 'what the list would
like',  its more traditionally 'Space Music',  with strings and noises and
spookiness,  with a couple of tracks of the type of go-go music I'm enjoying
so much at the moment.  Whereas Warp back to earth is much more combo based
music,  almost embryonic Kraut Rock,  acoustically reminiscent of Can in
places.  On both LPs most of the tracks are about 2 minutes,  and there are
very few structured songs on either,  as you'd expect from soundtrack LPs.

I think its interesting that (previous to the new look, controversy loving
list) people seemed to send offlist responses that wouldn't reflect the
lists perceived status quo.  I don't know if it would be conscious or not.
I'd say that of its time the music from the Warp back to Earth LP was the
more exotic and unworldly,  and the Space Patrol stuff was quite
conventional (for the Science fiction/outer space genre).  I still wish
'Moonflowers and Miniskirts' would come out on Vinyl though.

Not Cheesy,  neither of 'em.

Thanks for your indulgence

Yes, me too. Fischer's Rhino albums become a bit irritating after a while. And
besides, I don't think they are really rare. I see them quite often at record
fairs.
Just stick to the Frank Zappa production 'An evening with Wild Man Fischer' from
the late sixties.

Yo', exotica!  I am forwarding this for a friend...
Jane Fondle


I got this note from a prominent WFMU DJ! Fay lovsky
is the
theremin player who will be performing with Arling and
Cameron
this evening at Brownies.

Hey, Jack:

Can you also tell your A&C network that Fay Lovsky
will be performing
live on WFMU on Monday, August 2, on Irene Trudel's
program, sometime
between 3 and 6 pm.

WFMU is at 91.1 FM in the NY metro area, and
broadcasts worldwide on
the web: http://www.wfmu.org


I have been struggling with WFMU reception forever. If
anyone out there
manages to tape this show, I would really appreciate a
copy!

I just found out that the show at Brownies is
scheduled to begin at
9:00. Arling
and Cameron go on at 10:30.

Subject: (exotica) The Gentle People "simply faboo"

The more I hear this the more I like it.  The Gentle People have made one of my
favorite albums of the year.  Unbelievable mix of the Gentle People sound with
electronica that will pack the dance floors in the Shibuya distict of Tokyo.

Marketed for the Shibya-kei fan this has me hoping they put together another Gentle
People compilation like "Music To Watch Comets By"  that set me off in search of more
shibuya styled pop years ago.

Easy listening in the Big Easy

Fay Lovsky

Yeah for Fay!   She is great! Love her Jopo in Mono Cd.   Totally fun jovial teenie
pop.  Her other albums are also good.   She's generaly pop vocals, but the Jopo in Mono
is some kiddie show music and really exotic off the wall.   Recommended for those who
like Tin Tin Au Cinema.

Subject: (exotica) Breakbeat compilations

I borrowed a bunch of compilation albums from my brother (he dj's, which
explains a lot) the other week and like to mention a couple which might be
of interest


* Groovy Soundtracks : it's a hip thang... (Beathead)
A dozen soundtrackthemes from various sixties and seventies movies I never
heard of. Lots of funk and Hammond instrumentals by Dave Crusin, Tedd Smith,
Artie Butler, Kenyon Hopkins and more. Also contains Un Homme de Mort by
Michel Legrand

* Escape from the Planet of the Apes (ES?)
Mostly funky librarymusic on this one. Has a nice version of the old "Tramp"
plus a lot of erotic moaning on "Love Sounds" by the Intimate Strangers

* Kaleidoscope Vibrations : the exciting sounds of tomorrow (Scope Records)
Filled with 60s/70s high powered big band brass and jazz sounds by the Harry
Roche Constellation, Stan Reynolds Orchestra ("Spinning Wheel"), Peter Moore
Orchestra etc. A long version of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" by the
Button Down Brass and some blistering guitarwork on Chico Lopez "Trouble
Spot".

* Batteria for the Beatheads (Idem)
More rare groove/funk of obscure origin by the likes of Nexus, Jazz Quartet
and a bunch of Italians. Also has the excellent "Ballet Photo Rouge' by
Jacques Lossier .

* A Study in Hi-Fidelity (Pure Records)
From France on blue vinyl. More decent obscure funk and funky instrumentals.
Two African influenced tracks, amongst them a version of Soul Makossa

* Blow Up presents Exclusive Blend vol.2 (Blow Up)
Excellent collection of library music form 1968-1974

* La Guepe vol.2 : deep inside the French Library Music (Pulp Flavor
Recordings)
"Soul, jazz, funk, afro & easy tunes from the vault"  As someone mentioned a
few days earlier on the list this is an excellent compilation of early
seventies library music. Roger Roger's "Rugbymen" is an incredible
drumtrack.

* OST - Get Carter
* OST - Blow Up    both excellent

S. African Singer Simon Nkabinde Dies
                  Popularized Zulu Music, Played with Stevie
Wonder, Sting


                  Associated Press
                  Sunday, August 1, 1999; Page C06

                  JOHANNESBURGùSimon Nkabinde, 61, a singer who
became a
                  legend in South Africa while popularizing Zulu
music internationally, died of
                  diabetes July 28 at a hospital here.

                  Mr. Nkabinde, better known as Mahlathini, was
the gravel-voiced lead
                  singer for his group, Mahlathini and the Mahotella
Queens. He had
                  performed his music alongside such internationally
known artists as Stevie
                  Wonder and Sting.

                  Mr. Nkabinde grew up in a township in Johannesburg
and began singing at
                  an early age, performing at weddings and parties.

                  He began his association with the Gallo Music
Co. in the 1960s and, in the
                  1970s, popularized Mbaqanga music, a fusion
of dominant African
                  rhythms, pop and jazz that started in the black
township of Soweto outside
                  Johannesburg.

                  President Thabo Mbeki said Friday that Mr.
Nkabinde's death was a
                  tragic loss and paid tribute to his contribution
to South African culture. The
                  president said Mr. Nkabinde would always be
remembered through his
                  music.

                  Mbeki's office called Nkabinde a legend in
South African music and
                  culture who was seminal in the development
of indigenous music.

                  Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens produced
hit after hit in the 1960s
                  and 1970s, becoming one of the most popular
bands in Africa. The group
                  often was regarded as South Africa's first
superband. Although the group
                  disbanded in the late 1970s, it reformed to
record the hit Yebo in 1984.

                  Mr. Nkabinde's death comes at a time when Mbaqanga
music is
                  experiencing a revival, with pop groups remixing
it in various forms.

Harry 'Sweets' Edison, Jazz Musician, Dies
                  at 83
                  Trumpeter Played With Sinatra, Fitzgerald

                  Thursday, July 29, 1999

                  Harry "Sweets" Edison, 83, a master of the
jazz trumpet who was a
                  mainstay of the Count Basie Orchestra and who
accompanied singers such
                  as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie
Holiday, died of prostate cancer
                  July 27 in his native Columbus, Ohio.

                  Mr. Edison joined the Count Basie Orchestra
in the mid-1930s when he
                  was 18 and became a featured soloist. Basie
saxophonist Lester Young
                  dubbed him "Sweets" because of the pleasing
tone of his horn.

                  Mr. Edison stayed with Basie until about 1950
before heading off to
                  perform with his own quintet. He recorded his
own albums--notably
                  "Sweets for the Sweet Taste Of Love"--accompanied
Frank Sinatra as a
                  studio musician and worked with Benny Carter
on movie soundtracks.

                  Over the years, he played with most of the
famous big bands, including
                  those of Buddy Rich, Quincy Jones, Louis Bellson,
Henry Mancini and
                  Nelson Riddle.

                  He taught music seminars at Yale University
in the Duke Ellington
                  Fellowship Program, and he was honored as a
"master musician" with a
                  1991 National Endowment for the Arts Award.

                  Mr. Edison was known among jazz fans for his
individual style, phrasing
                  and articulation. A few riffs were so closely
associated with his playing that
                  other musicians waited for their appearance
whenever he stood up to solo.

                  He rarely disappointed them, always recasting
the brief, familiar
                  melodies--especially his trademark riff, a
phrase that usually began with
                  eight repeated notes followed by a slithery
descending line--with a new
                  twist.

                  After working with Basie, he toured with Jazz
at the Philharmonic in the
                  1950s and was musical director for entertainer
Josephine Baker. He
                  traveled to Europe and South America with Rich
and then settled in Los
                  Angeles. It was then that he started working
for Riddle and his top client,
                  Sinatra. He is heard on many Sinatra albums,
such as "Songs for Swinging
                  Lovers."

                  In the 1960s and '70s, Mr. Edison did scores
for television shows and
                  films. His work was prominently featured in
the soundtrack of "Lady Sings
                  the Blues," the story of Billie Holiday.

                  From 1973 on, he frequently acted as musical
director for Redd Foxx on
                  theater dates, at concerts and in Las Vegas.
In the '70s, he also teamed
                  with saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis for
a number of dates.

                  Mr. Edison worked right up until last month.
He traveled to Europe in the
                  spring and was scheduled to perform next weekend
in Long Beach, Calif.

                  Survivors include a daughter.
- -----------------------
SEATTLE (AP) - Bastiaan J.D. Meeuse, a professor emeritus of
botany at the University of
Washington who researched a particularly malodorous type of lily
for more than 50 years, died
Tuesday of pneumonia. He was 83.

Meeuse wrote more than 200 articles on the voodoo lily, a relative
of the ``corpse flower'' that
came into rare bloom last month at the university, and other
plants.

He discovered a moss enzyme that oxidizes oxalic acid. Now the
enzyme helps monitor blood in
people who produce excess oxalic acid, which can cause deadly
crystals in their kidneys.

But his passion remained researching the heat-and-stench generating
pollination phase of the
voodoo lily.
