 It has been put out in 1997 by Virgin (cd and 2lp's) and I've been

 just a suggestive title. I'm dubious, because it is subtitled
 something like "dance & mood". It is introduced by some Jack Arel, a
 name that is of no help to me.

This is a pretty cool album of what is essentially production library music
recorded in the '70s so it has more of a groovy, sideburned hippness to it
rather than being exotic. It os pretty decent but not amazing. I wouldn't
lose sleep over it.

I'm sure the Hustler IS the one but "Eleven Against the Ice" is NOT the
one.  I had it.  Don't bother.  Really!  I love Kenyon and I sold it.  That

Okay I will.  I am trying to make the switch from quantity to quality.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Skiffle is...

This is a good example of how there are no fast categories,  Skiffle
obviously changes across Europe.  In the UK,  Mo's description would be of
'Trad' or 'Dixie' Jazz a quite distinct scene, I would have said from the
Skiffle thing.  Acker Bilk and Chris Barber being fine examples of the
bowlers and bowties of Trad.  Whereas skiffle was definitely a folk
offshoot.  Although from the review Lou posted Chris Barber could put a foot
into both camps.

The difference between the two is best shown by listening,  In trad everyone
is playing as many notes as they can,  and in skiffle they would be
desperately holding on to the one chord before a finger slipped and it all
went muffled.  Punk Rock indeed.

 Still I think I understand much better
from Moritz's description what Skiffle was.
Not really.

I myself just visited Disneyland this week (Tiki Room lives!) and got
myself one of their made-to-order CDs.

Highly Recommended:
Enchanted Tiki Room "Tiki Garden" (the intros by all the Tiki Gods)
Pirates the Caribbean Full Show (4 parts)
Pirates the Caribbean "Yo Ho Ho" Pirates Lair
Pirates the Caribbean "Yo Ho Ho" End Overture
Jungle Cruise "Jungle Songs" (moody sounds, tribal drums, etc)

Not so recommended:
Enchanted Tiki Room "Barker Bird" (no music, just a bad 60's mexican accent)
South Seas Traders "Shrunken Head Ned" (again no music, though at least
kind of funny)

Speaking of the Eden Roc, caught The Peddlers
in Harry's American Showroom this weekend and
if ever there was a case of appearances being
deceiving, this is it! They walk out on a stage
cool as ice, in unassuming turtleneck sweaters
and slacks looking like jazz hippies from New
Orleans, don't let it fool you, they're hot
stuff. They could be the hottest English import
since The Beatles.

Two of the screws underneath the unit do the adjustment. One for 45 and one
for 33. The two screws are very delicate. Don't force up with the
screwdriver (which should be small and pointy). You can tell the holes
because there are two close to each other, about a half inch apart. I don't
have one with me but you should be able to locate them (possibly under the
turntable motor area). The screws inside are pots, which are recessed about
half an inch. Place the unit on the table, with the holes overhanging, play
a record and then get under it with that screwdriver. Be gentle!

Subject: (exotica) [hype] Cool & Strange #16

Here's the latest bit of promo, from Dana Countryman (publisher of C&S).

- -Lou
[e-mail]
==================================

OUR NEWEST ISSUE OF 56 PAGES OF MUSICAL COOLNESS IS OUT!
WITH 8 PAGES OF BLAZING COLOR, IT'S ANOTHER BANG-UP ISSUE!

Our newest issue is packed with new, informative articles on the coolest
and
strangest music you never thought you'd hear about, and features a cool
4-color
cover, lots of high-quality photos, tons of new wacky and weird CD
reviews and
it's more fun than a trip with the entire Little League kids to the
local Pizza
Hut!

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

The new issue features:

SPIKE JONES
    We've wanted to do this one for quite some time. SPIKE JONES was a
real
trendsetter. He paved the way for virtually all comedy records of the
musical
type for decades to come! Writer Ted Hering became a trusted friend of
the
Spike Jones family, upon his sudden death in the '60s. He became the
unofficial
curator of the Jones memorabilia, and has become the foremost authority
on the
wacky, comedic musician.
    This article also includes an in-depth interview with DEL PORTER,
one of
Jones' right-hand men in his early hit-making years for RCA. You'll only
find
it in this issue of Cool And Strange Music Magazine!

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

BERT KAEMPFERT
    Sometimes dismissed as merely a muzak-making orchestra leader, (he
wrote
"Strangers in the Night", among other '60s standards,) BERT KAEMPFERT
was also
a strong element in that decade's Space Age Pop movement. His early '60s
albums
incorporated maddingly inventive hooks and bright and breezy original
tunes.
    You may have passed his albums by, like many, but read writer Frank
Young's
informative article before you make another trip to the used record
store! You
may discover gold among the musty old vinyl!

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

JUAN ESQUIVEL INTERVIEW
What more can we say about ESQUIVEL that hasn't been said before? He is
undoubtably the King of Space Age Pop. With his wild, totally amazing
arrangments and unique originals, Juan Garcia Esquivel took the limits
of
stereo separation, and unusual instrumentation and pushed them to a new
maximum.
    We're fortunate to feature an exclusive interview with the King, and
writer
Ken Saari shares his recent conversation with our readers. Mostly, we
wanted to
find out more about his recent wondrous CD release: SEE IT IN SOUND. A
recording that languished in RCA's underground vaults for more than 40
years,
it was forgotten by all, including Esquivel himself!
Find out more by checking out our interview with him in this issue.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

VICTORIA, B.C., CANADA RECORD STORE REPORT
    What makes Victoria, B.C. a great place to find great vinyl? Simply
the
fact that many people end up retiring to the sleepy tourist town, and
end up
getting rid of most of a lifetime's accumulations including their old
records!
    This is good news if you happen to visit Victoria, because some
great old
vinyl can be purchased at this city's many stores for a fairly
reasonable
price. Writer Brian Linds takes us on a guided tour of his hometown,
with many
fun stops along the way.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

WENDY MAE CHAMBERS
    What makes WENDY MAE CHAMBERS so cool and strange? Well, it's gotta
be the
fact that her musical instrument of choice is a homemade organ made of
old car
horns, each tuned to a different note of the scale! She's been featured
in
books and commercials using the odd-looking instrument, and writer Ed
Kaz took
time to sit down and chat with her.
    We think you'll enjoy reading all about this eccentric artist, as
much as
we did presenting it to you!

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

POLKA LP COVERS CENTERFOLD
    This issue we feature Polka record collector DON HEDEKER's Polka
records in
our color centerfold, and we think you'll get a real kick out of them.
There
are some real doozies here, but our favorite has go to be "Polka
Encounters of
the the Honkey Kind" by The Trel-Tones!!
    There's lots more where that came from, and we present some of the
wackier
ones in our two-page color spread.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROBERT DRASNIN INTERVIEW
    Mostly known for just one hard-to-find exotica LP, "Voodoo!", Robert

Drasnin has been recently discovered and is revered as a true talent of
the
exotica collecting circles. With his unorthodox combinations of
instruments
(lots of jungle percussion, but dominated by harp and flute!), Drasnin
has been
re-discovered by a new generation of music lovers.
    Largely forgotten until Dionysus records' CD re-release of the
recording,
Drasnin's music has reached a bigger and definitely more appreciative
audience
than when his obscure budget record was originally released in the '50s!

    We wanted to find out more about this brilliant musician, and Jeff
Chenault
did the honors, interviewing him for our magazine. A great companion
piece to
the CD, (or if you're lucky enough, the original LP)!

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCREAMING LORD SUTCH
    Although he was much more well-known in his native Britain than in
the USA,
SCREAMING LORD SUTCH was a highly influential musical influence on young

rockers such as Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Jeff Beck and many others
who
eventually became rock music legends.
    Sutch's campy, creepy stage personna often overshadowed the music he
made,
with his undertakers coat and fake, rotting teeth-but you can't say he
wasn't a
showman. A definite "character", Sutch is a fascinating guy, and Matt
Marchese
does a great job of re-telling the highlights of this British wildman's
career!


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 HIGH SCHOOL BAND RECORDS
    Think you're the only one with a fascination for thrift store vanity
of
HIGH SCHOOL BAND records? Think again, as writer Susie the Floozie
describes
why many of these discs are great, and highlights a few from her own
personal
collection. Susie goes as far as to track down the former band director
from
one of her prized High School band records, and interviews him for this
article!
    Since this article has come out, it's spurred on extensive interest
in
these records by internet newsgroup discussion panels, and it just might
get
you checking out those passed-by records in your local thrift shop, too!

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tie it all together with lots more loads o' fun stuff than we dare
mention, and
you'll find a very cool Issue #16 of So get on board! It's gonna be a
cool ride
through the wild, wacky and sometimes tacky world of records!

My memory is a little hazy on this, but I seem to remember the
Peddlers do the title song from "The Lost Continent", a wonderfully
cheesy Hammer horror film from '68.  The film's about shipwreck
survivors in the Sargasso Sea, sort of The Love Boat on acid.  The
title tune's a vocal--did the Peddlers sing, too?  I could be wrong,
but I remember clearly the loungey mod-hammond sound of the
theme song.  No soundtrack issue of which I'm aware, but the
movie is on video.

    hey, where did you download them from, Peter?

    i only have 1 Les LP, and it's not even by the "Singers", but by
Leslie Humphries And His Friends: "Pop Party" (LP, Karussell, Germany, late
60's or early 70's). about this LP: it's really great, "now" kinda sound,
rockin' vibes, groovy is the word!

Subject: (exotica) The Return of Me

Hi Kids,

I used to be on the list years ago and and as the focus changed, I sort of
drifted away. Anyway I'm back to say hello. I realized one of the things
this list is really valuable for is learning about new pop that is
worthwhile. It dawned on me that I've purchased ZERO new stuff since leaving
the list. It might be the pop today has slipped even further from my tastes.

If you don't know or remember me, I'd like to re-introduce myself. After
years doing jazzy-lounge radio in Italy (I'm a yank), i started producing
MisterLUCKY, first as a zine and now as website (since 1995!). I hate the
name and if there were just some way to turn back time....

My finest moment was when Salon mag suggested that I was one of the
corporate swills that was ruining Lounge. This made me laugh sincxe I do
everything from the writing to the graphics to the HTML all by myself.

Anyway it's nice to be back.

Steve Sando

P.s. I am an expert on the Italian diva mina and have virtually everything
she ever recorded. This fact might come in handy in the future.

Any comments on Ranwood Records' Exotic Guitars?
I noticed today that they have a new 20 track (in 49 minutes! - you do
the math) compilation, called Sonic Lounge.

Can anyone shed light on who is in this band, and if it's worth wasting
a few dollars on it?

Subject: Re: (exotica) exotic guitars

The line up included guitarist, Al Casey - I believe
the same who backed Duane Eddy in the Rebels and
cashed in on the "Surfin'" thing with "Surfin
Hootenanny."

My personal feeling is when the lps show up in the
bins for $1 a piece, then they're worth it. Fun, but
not overly interesting (I do enjoy their cover of
Music to Watch Girls By).

Subject: Re: (exotica) exotic guitars

 I picked up a Ranwood Guitars LP a while ago.  If what you're looking at
 is the same sort of thing, it may be worth a few bucks or so, but it's
 nothing super great.

 A bit like the Tommy Garret (sp?) 50 Guitars go _______ series of Lp's

 Maybe a tiny, small, notch above that. Slightly more rock
 influenced too.

Yep, kids and kidettes, it's up and running, freeserver permitting!  Please
