Subject: (exotica) hope and jazz (an indulgence more than a post)

Yesterday I was in this record store and the clerk, a guy in my film, was
playing me all kinds of this breakbeat, sampley, jazzy trip hop, NOT house
music that was in all these different sections but basically sounded like
the same kind of stuff to me.
He didn't play me the Bobby Hughes thing but they had it.  He played me
this thing called Cinematic Orchestra or something and I quite liked it,
even though it was a lot closer to jazz than the other stuff and I didn't
expect it.
The first cut sounded exactly like Alice Coltrane but with a difference.
The only thing I ended up buying was a used thing, which I thought would be
gone if I didn't grab it.  Emperor's new clothes. "Wisdom and lies".  I
assume the emperor is the name of the band, not the other way round.
It's also very close to jazz.

Anyway I decided to trade in the few jazz CD's I still have and see if I
can get four or five of those expensive CD's he played me.
I bought a whole bunch of jazz CD's when I first got a CD player and they
were reissuing all that stuff I once never thought I'd see.  But little by
little I've been getting rid of it.  I have all these jazz LP's I never
play anymore and I figured "if you want jazz, play the LP's".

So I just made a pile of CD rejects and I pulled out an LP to see if it
would do the trick.  Keno Duke if you must know.  I just thought of him
because I saw his name on some acid jazz CD compilation yesterday.

That girl I told you about is basically gone now, somewhere in the deep
background.  But tomorrow I'm still going through with my plan - inspired
by her - and I'm going to try and quit smoking.  I'm using it all.  The
patch, the gum and the anti-depressant drugs.
I think I can do it as long as I keep remembering that some cool people
don't smoke and some very uncool people do.

I had a strong sense of deja vu listening to the jazz LP.  It's like I
could remember the person I was when I listened almost exclusively to music
like that.  (And when I had a LOT fewer records...)
That person was certainly cynical and negative and bitter but he had a lot
more HOPE than I've had in a long time.  And that's why it makes sense to
quit smoking even if the woman I originally planned to do it for, is
probably a non-issue.

I'm not going to try and make a parallel between jazz and hope and exotica
and a lack of hope.  But I could probably say something about the
difference between pursuing music and pursuing records.  Which is what my
film is about.  But I don't think I knew quite what I was getting at in the
film, until just a few minutes ago.

I don't need to send this now but I think I will anyway.

Nat

The major influences of the Disney artists were illustrators like
Arthur Rackham and N. C. Wyeth. Disney maintained an incredible
library of illustrated children's books. It still existed intact
in boxes up until a few years back.

The animators at Disney were basically midwestern farm boys. Their
tastes were pretty practical. The surrealism they created was a
natural outgrowth of the exaggerated caricature of cartooning
(squash and stretch, contrasts and rhythm). If you look closely at
them, they aren't all that different from the Mickey Mouse cartoons
of the time. The subject matter is just more abstract.

The only fine artists who had direct contact with Disney were
Oskar Fischenger and Salvador Dali. But neither of them lasted
more than a couple of months at the studio and the projects they
worked on didn't amount to anything. I've spoken to a lot of
animators who were there at the time, and none of them ever saw
Dali on the lot.

I've never heard a single story of drug use at Disney in the 30s
and 40s. They were too busy working for that.

See ya

Yeah, that's Disney, but what about at Fleishcher Bros. or Van Buren?
They were under the influence of something, even if it was nothing

Subject: Re: (exotica) High Fidelity

The mid-west and the semi-south seem to be good
pickings: yesterday I scored what must have been
someone's collection from the 60s: Charles Chenier -
not sure the name is Charles (may be thinking Trenet)
or the lp's title, but it is Louisiana zydeco R&B on
the GNP label; Lightening Hopkins: Lightening Strikes;
Leadbelly, Brownie McGee, Blind Willie Something or
other and Memphis Minnie lps. And something by The
Fugs with Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso mumbling on
a track or two.

Last weekend I found Bob Thompson's Mmm Nice!....
which I have not tired of playing yet.

So, if anyone here enjoys rockabilly and comes across
a Simon and Garfunkel lp on Pickwick (Greatest Hits or
something like that) on which you cannot recognize the
title of a single song - pick it up, it's the "Tom and
Jerry" stuff you read about (as opposed to that tame
Tom and Jerry instrumental guitar lp listed on E-Bay
occasionally as S&G).

Right. Have a good weekend,

BW

Annual Lists of Top-Selling Toys -- TMA

 Toy Manufacturers of America (TMA) Homepage
 http://www.toy-tma.com/index.html

 To the great satisfaction of many, no doubt, Pokemon was not the
 top-seller in 1999, losing out to the old standards -- Crayola
 Crayons and Hot Wheels cars. In terms of dollar sales, however,
 another relative newcomer stood at the top -- Furby, but it was
 followed closely by Hot Wheels, a toy costing 1/33 the price. At the
 Toy Manufacturers of America site, users can view the top-selling
 toys by dollar or unit sales for 1994-99. They can also read a list
 of new toys introduced last year as well as a ranking of the top
 software titles.

<< i don't have any korla on CD, would this be a good comp?  anyone got it? >>

Your choices are pretty limited here, TB.  It is pretty much either this or
another which came out at least a couple of years ago.  "Odyssey" I think is
the name of it.

I beleive that one is two complete early LP's, "Latin Holiday" and "Plays
Music Of The Exotic East".  The latter being his best record, IMHO.  Not sure
if the always beautiful cover photos of KP are included in this release.

This newer one looks like it has tracks from those LPs and some others, plus
the KILLER spoken word intro to his TV show, which deserves to be seen by all
and is really the ONLY way to fully experience what Korla Pandit was all
about.

There is (was?) a video with episodes of his show available.  If anybody is
interested, I'll try to track down the URL of the place to get it.

As the Cheesemaster says: "Back to the music!"...Today I traded in a supply
of stuff hitherto unlistened to in 10 years' time. That's my absolute cutoff
point. With certain notable exceptions. Anyway, I ran into a streak of
misfiled "Trombones
Unlimited" LP's in the jazz section of a rekkid store I frequent.  I would
have filed them under E-Z or Now Sounds. Anyhow, I got"You're Gonna Hear From
Me", "These Bones Are Made For Walkin'", "Grazing In The Grass", and I
already had "Big Boss Bones". To sum them up, they are a step above Herb, but
a step below Brass Impact. File them under Brad Bigelow's "Herb Alpert's
Tijuana-Be's" in your collection within the "Now Sound" section (and don't
pass them by if you see 'em)....JB

Subject: Re: (exotica) High Fidelity

Hi all,

I know this is a bit past but I happened to catch a screening last
night. I found it charming. really just a great little picture, not
explosive not huge, but pretty terrific.  The thing that really
resonates (and also why it probably won't be a huge hit) is that it
really nails the whole  persona of the  cool store record clerk. It
is the life story  of half the people I know. While no one was  into
exotica (the closest they get is sterolab) it still featured plenty
of Vinyl.
The thing that really tripped me out about it, had nothing to do with
the film rather a thing on MTV news about it , where they described
it has "thirty-something" comedy.  what does that mean? I have to
admit that I am 31 but still 30 something, isn't that about  cheating
yuppies in the late  80's !?! How could the MTV I grew up with turn
on me...sigh...

On the upside last week, I found a copy of Les Baxters Caribbean
moonlight  for 65 cents. three weeks before that I found Martin
Denny's Primitiva,  The Enchanted Sea and  The Wonderful World of
Antonio Carlos Jobim for  also for 65 cents each.  I love he
midwest!!!(especially  when I find a good stash before King Kini
does!)

That would be ..um...Walter Wanderley...  It's on his "Boss Of The Bossa
Nova" 2 CD set, which was released on Motor in 1996.  Being as Motor
doesn't really exist in the same form anymore, I don't know if this is
still available, or on another PolyGram label.  I know Dusty Groove has
carried this in the past, and probably CDNow would have it, too.  It's a
very good CD set - one CD is his Brazilian recordings, and one is his
American recordings.

Stereo De Luxe has sampled this piece rather extensively in a track

on Bungalow).

    yes. i've said this before, but over here in Belgium, the price
difference between computer CD-R's and audio CD-R's isn't as big as in the
US it seems: a Lead Data computer CD-R's costs $1.00, while a Lead Data
audio CD-R costs $1.12 -- only 12 cents more!

Subject: (exotica) New finds

How's this for a range of new finds:

Alejandra & Underwood - The Children's Record - Children's songs looped and
cut up, all in a hand made package - From the UK "Lucky Kitchen" label that
brought us Blip Bleep.  Value priced too!

Various - Monster Sounds and Boppin Soundtracks Vol.1 - Marginal Records.
Found yet another CD lying around in the same store I found the last one on
this label (Oriental Pop Hits).  Same 50's era garage sound but different
theme.  Includes Frankie Stein, Bob McFadden, Ken Nordine, H. Mancini
(Experiment in Terror) Dinah Shore, Bobby Pickett etc. Johan mentioned this
label is no more which is a shame. Listened to another one on the same label
of Girl groups but aside from the really good Annette - Bikini Beach Party
piece, it wasn't all that interesting. More rock n' roll than garage sound.

Roger Roger & Nino Nardini - Merry & Sad. Looks to be a library record of
very strange Perrey & Kingsley/Bruce Haack type sound. Maybe not quite as
perkly as
P & K but lots of fun nonetheless.  The cover was so-so but the vinyl was
near mint.  All this for CDN $8 (that's maybe $5 US).  Anyone know more
about this record since I'm certain Roger Roger has been discussed before?

None of these come from thrift stores I should add.  A good reason to
support your local record stores!

How's 450 LPs in different countries! And they didn't even count the ones,
that I have, those Japanese reissues of original American albums. I'm sure as
a collector you have to leave them sealed with this paper stripe that Jap
records use to have inside. Which I did not, of course.

Or the Rare Recordings, another Japanese LP. The Ventures were really "big in
Japan". (Which brings me again to wondering, why are there - apparently - no
Japanese Members in the Exotica List? Japan was always great for Exotica,
think of Water Melon!)

I don't recall the film, but it can be found in its original Morricone glory

I feel like such a trainspotter, but...

Is the carousel photo in the tray of "The Impossible World" an intentional
reference to the cover photo of the We Five album, "Make Someone Happy"?

Subject: (exotica) four AMAZING albums

I have never submitted a recent purchases post before.  To be honest I buy so
many records it would bore everyone to the point of quitting the list if I
posted every new record I bought.  Here are more 4 favorite new to my
collection albums.

Anyway, I have just listened to one of the best records I have heard in about
a year...HENRI RENE - RIOT IN RYTHMN!  I wouldn't have ever guessed.  I have
heard several of his strings LP and thought they were a bore, but this record
rules.  Some of you may have heard the song "Hansel And Pretzel" from this
album as it is on two of the good exotica/space age comp cds that were
released a few years ago.  As good as that song is I think the rest of this
album is even better! My highest recommendation.

Any other great Henri records lurking out there.  COMPULSION TO SWING looks
good but the only shop around here that has it wants $30.00.  Way too much
for my budget.

SHELLY MANNE - PETER GUNN.  Shelly's band featuring cool mallet work playing
only songs from the TV show.  Mancini wrote special new arrangements for this
LP.  Now out on a fairly low priced cd (about $11).  I love Mancini cover
albums by jazz bands anyone, but this one I have especially enjoyed.  Another
great one is Eddie Harris JAZZ FOR BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.  Real jazz
versions of everything from the Mancini LP.  They even make Moon River jam
out!

MIKE SIMPSON - DISCUSSION IN PERCUSSION.  Some on the list may find this one
a little old fashioned in parts, but I love this LP.  My favorite of the
Mercury Living Presence Stereo exotica LPs.

LES BAXTER - PORTS OF PLEASURE.  I had never fully appreciated Baxter till I
recently got this LP.  I played it four times in a row I was so knocked out
by it.  Some of the other Baxter LPs I've heard I found kind of lame, but if
there is more like this I can understand why he is so well regarded.

So, my questions:  Based on these ramblings what Henri Rene and Les Baxter
titles do you guys/gals recommend?

Question two:  Is Martin Denny's HYPNOTIQUE as great as the grape vine would
have me believe?  Should I pony up the dough for the cd.

Larry

PS. THose of you also on the exotica ring trade list be prepared to hear some
tunes from these LPs soon.

IMHO, Riot in Rhythm is Henri Rene's best, followed by Compulsion to Swing.
Then, there are two Imperial LPs: White Heat 9074 and The Swinging '59 9096.
I have several of his other LPs (all on RCA) but I find them way too laid
back for me (some would say lame).  If there are better ones out there, I
want to know.  I keep trying them when they are reasonable but never seem
to find any better than Riot in Rhythm.

Les Baxter is a musician for all seasons and all tastes.  There is even
better stuff than Ports of Pleasure and less interesting stuff as you
mentioned.

I know there are more, but certainly Skins, The Sacred Idol and Ritual of
the Savage (on Capitol) and The Primitive and the Passionate (Reprise) are
a good start.  Oh, also there is a double LP set which is the best vinyl
compilation of Baxter around: The Sounds of Adventure.

Keeping in mind that I am a big fan of "Ports Of Pleasure"  would you
recommend "Carribean Moonlight"?  That's the one album of his that seems to
be exotica that I see more than most of the others.  It pops up on eBay
almost every day.
Thanks!

Subject: (exotica) Edmundo Ros

Most of you will recall there was a lengthy thread on Edmundo Ros a while
back.  From following those posts it seemed that most were not too impressed
with his records and I stayed away from them.  However, recently I've heard
two of his LPs which are part of the London Phase 4 Stereo series...one with
Edmundo joined by Caterina Valente on vocals, and the other one just Edumundo
titled "Senor Ros Latin Boss."

I found both of those to be great fun to listen to.  Is this typical of his
records, or did I just luck onto the two good ones and should steer clear of
any others?  If I recall correctly there were some Edmundo defenders in the
debate. May I request that we open that discussion once again?

Thanks,
Larry

<< He came up with "The Chipmunk Song" (Christmas
 Don't Be Late) and went to Liberty Records to see if they would release
 it. He found out that Liberty was on the verge of bankruptcy. He pointed
 out that they had a large supply of vinyl pucks (the raw material 45s
 were made of) and if they went under, the bank would just end up with
 them... no reason not to press them up into Chipmunk singles. Liberty
 said OK, so they did a batch of singles and sent them out to radio
 stations. Suddenly the roof blew off and the demand for the singles
 was huge.  >>

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your info on Bagdasarian.  Fascinating
for me to read.

I must admit that I was suprised and a little disappointed to read that Ross
was not really a musician and had lots of help with his compositions.  In
addition to his Chipmunks and novelty records Ross recorded lots of great
instrumental records.  His first minor hit was "Armen's Theme" (I think it
hit 41 on the pop charts) which was cover by a huge number of other artists.
His albums are full of exotica flavored instrumentals including the LP "THE
MIXED UP WORLD OF ROSS BAGDASARIAN" which is one of my five most prized LPs
out of my whole collection!  "The Music Of David Seville" is also filled with
lots of nice instrumentals.

For those who may be new to this interesting man and his music he recorded
under the names David Seville, Alfi & Harry, Ross Bagdasarian & The Chipmunks
(and possibly others).

He released lots of singles many with great instrumental B sides.  And his
non-Chipmunk humor was often touching in a bittersweet way with an underlying
theme of the sadness of the human condition.  I have always felt that was
some real depth to much of his lesser known work.

And you are totally correct that the arrangements on the early "real"
Chipmunks records was cool with the bouncing saxes, the arrangements making
them even listenable to me as an adult who tires of the Chipmunk gag after
about 2 seconds.

I am somewhat dismayed that there is so little information in print or
elsewhere about this man.

I have seen autographed pictures of Ross on eBay where he was described as an
actor in the ad.  Did he do film acting apart from voicing Seville and the
Chipmunks on the TV cartoon?

DO you know where the David Seville name and alter ego came from?

Anymore information you can provide on the list or directly to me off-list
would be greatly appreciated. The information you have provided on
Bagdasarian has been worthwhile enough to me to justify having a computer and
being on the internet!!

Best wishes,
Larry

Obviously you were led down the WRONG PATH earlier!

I personally have enjoyed EVERY ONE of his albums that I have bought and
continue to look for more.  I just got an early Ros/Valente LP and I know I
will enjoy it (I like both Valente and Ros).

Some will say they don't like Ros singing and I agree...not exactly a
wonderful singer.  However, he puts heart in it and that I can get into.
Once I accept that he is not a great singer, I actually enjoy those cuts.

Actually I have heard few other reasons why Ros albums should be avoided. I
can't quantify exactly why I think you should look into more Ros except to
repeat what you already said: his music is fun.  If you enjoyed those
albums you mentioned, you should try some others.
