I don't know of any comprehensive sites though it would make sense that
somewhere out there, a moog-record collector has put his collection online.
 There's at least a couple of people on this list who have a sizable
collection.

On the other hand, I think this is one of those areas where you could never
have "most of it" or even know what most of it comprises.  You say you have
a record "Switched On Joplin".  My first thought is Janis Joplin.  It turns
out you mean Scott Joplin.  But still I bet there is a moog record of Janis
Joplin tunes out there somewhere.

  I've also got a Limelight or two

In my opinion the Switched On Bacharachs are among the best of the genre.
They use the whole range of cheesy-to-tasteful moog sounds but somehow
always use them in ways that are appropriate to the tunes.  That thing you
have called "Happy Moog" is actually a fairly rare - and sometimes
expensive - J.J Perry record even though it's also a Harry Breuer record.
The Denjean record is also a "classic".  He had one before that one that's
also good.  (He has other ones also but they're not that good.)   And the
Copper Plated one by Walter Sear is also a good one.  He did others - also
on Command - with Richard Hayman that are considered "essential" moog
records, if you don't mind that word.

I have about 30 moog and moog-related records.  If you're interested in
hearing about others, I'll name a few.
I'll skip right past the "godfathers" of the moog, Perry and Kingsley and
move on to moog-country LP's. My favorite is "Country Moog, switched-on
Nashville" by Gil Trythall.  You haven't heard moog till you've heard his
version of "Folsom Prison".
On the other end of the spectrum is John Keating's "Space Experience" which
is a great record but almost too tasteful and well-arranged to qualify as a
"real" moog record.  For me this record resurrects "I feel the earth move".
Then there are the rockin-moog records.  I have two by "The Electronic
Concept Orchestra" and I can recommend "Moog Groove". Great versions of "Oh
Happy Day" and especially "Grazin in the Grass".
Then again, it's silly to recommend any of these since you're almost
guaranteed to pick up anything called "moog groove".
In the same category of no-brainers is "Switched-On Rock" by the Moog Machine.
"Time of the Season", "Yummy Yummy".
Moog Machine also did a Xmas record.  That's the only kind of Xmas record I
let myself pick up.  I'm sure there are dozens.  I have two, including of
course, one called "Switched-On Santa".
Then there's the Klaus Wunderlich moog record and "Moogie Woogie" by the
Zeet Band and all kinds of Montenegro ones (like the all-Elton John one
where Hugo lets his son John do his Emerson, Lake and Palmer imitation.)
Etc Etc Etc

Subject: (exotica) Louis Jordan's "Beware" & JB's organ

http://www.broadcast.com/video/ListenPages/be/358/

you can see "Beware" in the usual crappy realaudiovideo at
broadcast.com, but its way way cool nonetheless, with lots of tunes
(jammin in history class at college?) - cab calloway has a film there
too..

As far as James Brown's organ playing, i saw him about a half dozen
times in the mid-late 60's, and i think he would just sit down for a few
minutes so his shoes would't catch on fire. Have never seen anything
like those shows since, tho Astroslut's singer seems to be aiming for
the title "The hardest workin' girl in show business." James threw
cufflinks to the crowd, what'll Jane throw ?
And James's "Soul Pride" CD instrumental set from that era is some fine
shit, as it includes his classic "JB Dances and Directs The Popcorn"
record.....

Hi all!  Glad to see the moog topic brought up here again....

For any who are interested, here is a list of stuff I have or know of that

to opt for more esoteric fare.  I know how tough info on this genre is to
come by; I've been squirreling it out for years now.  Hope this wish list

I'll give one more desperate plea for this lp:  SOUNDPROOF or SOUNDBLAST by
Ferrante & Teicher; they released two records under the same name...I'm
looking for the one of them that is NOT latin-themed...it has standards on
it.  I'll pay or trade handsomely for it...I've got treasures untold
(including some moog lp's above) that I'd gladly fork over for it.  It's the
last of the prepared-piano items I don't have from the boyz.  HELP, SOMEONE,
PPLLLEEEEEEEEZZZ!!!!!

Thanks,

Subject: (exotica) Michel Legrand's 'Jazzy' piano noodlings at the Jazz Cafe, London 29.9.99

Just came back from holiday to find ML playing a couple of nights at the
Jazz Cafe. Even though I had reservations about going, I thought it might
be worth it. It was!

He played alot of material from 'Cherbourg', 'Rochefort', 'Thomas Crown
Affair', a track from 'Yentl', which didn't sound so hot, but a couple of
others from a soundtrack composed with Miles Davis, I think called 'Dingo
Rock', which did. He played well known tracks in a variety of styles and
finished with 'Windmills of Your Mind', singing it in French, which was
nice.

It was a trio of piano, double bass and drums ... sorry I can't remember
the names of the other guys ... the bass player was quite young and
completely adequate, the drummer was much older, though not as old-looking
as Legrand, and was very very good ... i knew that because he had a pair of
tiny silver drumsticks on a necklace over his shirt ;-)

Another thing which made it enjoyable was that it wasn't at all crowded, so
that when, as we walked in he was starting to play we were able to make our
way very easily through the sparse audience to the front and stand directly
behind Legrand about 5 feet away.

Maybe someone else from the list who was also there can add more detail

I thought you'd like to know

Subject: (exotica) Satan Superstar

One record I have never seen discussed here is "Satan Superstar" by
Stanley Black. I've never heard it, or seen it, and I'm curious. I'm
told the track "Satan Speaks" is top-notch cheese of high water (if
such a thing exists). Is anyone on the list familiar with the album?

PS -- A few of the things I've picked up lately:

"Soundproof" -- Ferrante and Teicher.

Somewhat of a curate's egg, it's interesting in parts, but the
grooviest thing about it is the cover art of the UFO. Don't expect
really radical sounds, generally the prepared piano parts just involve
heavy damping that gives a percussive effect. But I'm glad to have a
copy, I like it.

"Spaceship Boogie" -- Winifred Atwell

Well, actually on an EP the title of which I can't remember. Three
tracks of standard joanna-bashing tinkle plus this one, which kicks
off with a few electronic noises and proceeds with a spooky spacey
echo on the piano plus the occasional mildly-weird harmonic
progression for extra space feel. (Sort of like a piano version of
Johnny Guitar Watson's "Space Guitar"). Like Soundproof, not
earthshattering, but interesting, and miles away from the bulk of the
catalogue.

"The Ski Full-of-Fitness Theme" -- Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg

It's an advertising jingle for Ski yoghurt, which a thoughtful Ski
released to the world in single format. Really, REALLY cheesy.

"The Fiddling Viking" -- Sven Asmussen

I've had a beat-up copy of this for years, but I found a pristine one,
and listened to it again. This one is brilliant, all kinds of
violinery tricks and effects going on, great arrangments. The
highlights for me are the version of "Tabu", and "Can You Whistle
Joanna", violin matching the whistling and sliding around way up in
the stratosphere. Great!

"Dance To My Fair Lady" -- Helmut Zacharias

More violinery, and this one is also good... I can even listen to the
version of "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" without cringing, that's the
degree of power Mr. Z. has over me.

Subject: (exotica) Happiness Is ... "Happiness Is"

I picked up the 9-LP Readers Digest boxed set, "Happiness Is," a few weeks
ago at a local junk store (big "Going Out of Business" sign has been draped
over their door for the two years I've lived here).  Mostly dull easy
listening covers of mid-late 60s hits, and I stuck it in the "donate" box
after playing a couple of sides.

Then I decided to give it a thorough listening and found a few choice cuts.
 Hands-down favorite has to be Joe Reisman's cover of "Grazing in the
Grass," a hit instrumental originally by Hugh Masakela.  This one is a
vocal with wonderful lyrics:

    Grazing in the grass is a gas, can you dig it, baby?
    Grazing in the grass is a gas, can you dig it, baby?

    [rapidly]
    I can dig it
    She can dig it
    He can dig it
    We can dig it
    You can dig it
    They can dig it
    Can you dig it, baby?

A few other noteworthy numbers:  several good Billy May covers in his great
now sound "Billy May Today!" style;  Jack Jones doing a nice version of
"Live for Life" and a classic lounge-y "Light My Fire";  Harry James doing
an admirable job on "This Guy's in Love."  On the other hand, you also get
Benny Goodman doing "Spinning Wheel," which is almost as uncomfortable to
listen to as it must have been to Benny to play.

What other treasures lie hidden in RD box sets?  Besides Dick Hyman's
"Alfred, the King of Disco," that is.

Subject: (exotica) More record finds at radio sale

Well the Tiki gods came home to roost for me too!  Jane got that excellent
stash. I didn't do as good but got a chance to pick up free records.

Last night we had a pre-volunteer meeting for the WICN record drive and
there was a stack of boxes of what the GM called "Mantovani" stuff that
wasn't going to be takin' over to the record drive.
Picked up about 100 of 'em.  Some Mancini stuff, Dear Heart and a couple of
comps, Martin Denny's A Go Go, A Pete Rugolo with 2 Trombones, Some Sergio
Mendes, 3 Suns comps. Domenic Fontiere Pagan Festival (?) ( going by memory
here) A few Command things.  Mel Heink, A Leo Diamond. Some Leo Addeo
Hawaiian stuff,, you know, stuff I might want to listen too but don't want
to spend the money. If it "looked" good. I grabbed it.

The GM showed me a box of about 100  exotica related thingstheay are
outting out that I would have to pay money  for, but I think I found better
stuff in the "Mantovani" section.  I can get everything 1/2 price 'cause
I'm a volunteer. Cugie/ Prado/Gleason stuff. Saw that Ken Nordine
voice-over record with a small Saturn on the cover mentioned on the list
lately.  EMAIL me before 3PM EST if anybody wants it in trade?

Check out the WICN web page
http://www.wicn.org/current%20events/community.html


Like I said TONS of rock and classical from the radio stacks, Thankfully,
they spared the Jazz section. Lots of 78's but they may not be put out. Saw
a Wanda L. J.S Bach Golberg Variations on 78. A "boxed set" of 7.
Beautifully packaged. I *love* the Goldberg Variations, but what am I going
to do with it?

My favorite used furniture guy is having an auction tomorrow night and he
has 4 lots of records he's putting on the block. I'll have to go and see if
the Tiki's continue to pour out their blessings!

And Jimmy, the record dealers will be their, but we won't let them near the
rekkids until 10AM when we open. That 'el teach them!

I've had "Alfred..."(Organ Magic) here on a shelf for many months and I'd yet
to listen to him.  You inspired me to take him down and give him a spin.
It's a truely happenin' little tune.

For anyone not familure with "Alfred...", I'd be happy to upload an mp3 or
real audio version of him for your inspection.  Just say the word.

Well, be glad you got that Domenic(Domenic!) Fontiere
PAGAN FESTIVAL, because it's a party all should be
invited to! It's a great, under-rated exotica record!
And it doesn't pop up all that often, ESPECIALLY for
free.  And "Mel Heink"...Mel Heinke, as in LA DOLCE
HEINKE-that guy!??  GOOD SCORE, KID!

Thanks for a description Jane,

I would have to say that AstroSlut is similar to Combustible Edison/Seks
Bomba in that they hit a lot of "lounge" bases. One song "The Quinn Martian
Chronicles" reminiscent of the jazzish Quinn Martin TV themes but a total
reinvention. They did one Bossa-nova tune.


AstroSlut sounds a lot more "rockish" but I attribute this to it being a
live gig. Very Go-Go 60's at times.

At first I was surprised at how modern the group sounded. Talking to Jane
on the list and in person about Pete Rugolo, Jack Jones and Julie London I
was prepared for something else. But I can see, esp listening a 2nd time,
how Jane and Drew are taking their moog/keyboard/vocal influences and
building on them to create their own voice music and songs. I recognized
none of the songs even thought I was told 1/3 of them were covers.

So Bravo to AstroSlut! They embrace the past, but don't totally imitate it.
I think the name say it all. A tip of the hat to "Astrosounds in the year
2000" but with an updated attitude that keeps up with the modern rock
scene.

You Go Girl!

Not me, pal!  I diggit, though I suspect it's a ghost
rekkid, too.
Let me ask this though just be certain, while we're on
MOOGS(I have been meaning to contribute to this
discussion, but wanted to see my collection...still
haven't done that...so, how about GENUINE ELECTRIC
LATIN LOVE MACHINE, SPACED OUT, PLASTIC COW GOES
MMOOOOGGGGG, and the two SWITCHED ON BACHARACHS...I
also can't wait to hear the MOOG GERSHWIN I just
got..anyway..)
Did Martin Denny actually *play* and/or *arrange* the
Moogs on his EXOTIC MOOG?  What about Les Baxter with
Paul "Daily Nightly" Beaver?

Well the Tiki gods came home to roost for me too!  Jane got that excellent
stash. I didn't do as good but got a chance to pick up free records.

Last night we had a pre-volunteer meeting for the WICN record drive and
there was a stack of boxes of what the GM called "Mantovani" stuff that
wasn't going to be takin' over to the record drive.
Picked up about 100 of 'em.  Some Mancini stuff, Dear Heart and a couple of
comps, Martin Denny's A Go Go, A Pete Rugolo with 2 Trombones, Some Sergio
Mendes, 3 Suns comps. Domenic Fontiere Pagan Festival (?) ( going by memory
here) A few Command things.  Mel Heink, A Leo Diamond. Some Leo Addeo
Hawaiian stuff,, you know, stuff I might want to listen too but don't want
to spend the money. If it "looked" good. I grabbed it.

The GM showed me a box of about 100  exotica related thingstheay are
outting out that I would have to pay money  for, but I think I found better
stuff in the "Mantovani" section.  I can get everything 1/2 price 'cause
I'm a volunteer. Cugie/ Prado/Gleason stuff. Saw that Ken Nordine
voice-over record with a small Saturn on the cover mentioned on the list
lately.  EMAIL me before 3PM EST if anybody wants it in trade?

Check out the WICN web page
http://www.wicn.org/current%20events/community.html


Like I said TONS of rock and classical from the radio stacks, Thankfully,
they spared the Jazz section. Lots of 78's but they may not be put out. Saw
a Wanda L. J.S Bach Golberg Variations on 78. A "boxed set" of 7.
Beautifully packaged. I *love* the Goldberg Variations, but what am I going
to do with it?

My favorite used furniture guy is having an auction tomorrow night and he
has 4 lots of records he's putting on the block. I'll have to go and see if
the Tiki's continue to pour out their blessings!

And Jimmy, the record dealers will be their, but we won't let them near the
rekkids until 10AM when we open. That 'el teach them!

Isn't it Mel Henke like in "La Dolce Henke"?

If you're sure the happenin' little tune will make me happy,

Seems to me Denny spilled the beans in one of the "Incredibly
Strange Music" books.  Said he "supervised" the recording of
EXOTIC MOOG but otherwise didn't perform.

Well...what does "supervise" mean?  Did he arrange
things and kick back, or just "supervise" with a cigar
a la' Jackie Gleason?
HMM? Ooooo...Jane Fondle

Eva Israelsen
LOGAN, Utah (AP)  Eva Israelsen, who lived long enough to have 271 great-grandchildren, died Thursday, five days before her 105th birthday.

Mrs. Israelsen appeared in Life magazine in October 1993 in an article noting the birth of her 200th and 201st great-grandchildren. Since then, her progeny has grown to 271 great-grandchildren and 40 great-great-grandchildren. She had 11 original children, and they had 67 kids.

She was born Eva May Butler on Oct. 5, 1894, at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake County. She met Victor E. Israelsen while attending Utah Agricultural College, now Utah State University, in the 1920s and later married him.

They spent their lives on a dairy farm. Mrs. Israelsen remained active well past her 100th birthday, walking at least a mile a day.
