most famous pieces of prodcution library music ever recorded.

well, this would explain a couple of things.  we watched the movie Toy Story
the other night and there is a short called "Tin Toy" at the begining.  it
opens with a TV playing in the background and the Puffin' Billy song plays,
then you hear the channel change and it is The Price is Right game show.  The
credits list The Price as Right info but do not acknowledge the Puffin'
Billy.  i found that odd.  is this because it is "library production music"?
comments?

and boy, for a 30 something like me, when you hear that song it really takes
you back to remembering watching the Captain Kangaroo Show --- which
interestingly in our market, came on in the morning, but AFTER the elementary
schools started.  yet another reason to fake an illness to avoid school.

Subject: (exotica) madras cinematic orchestra

apologies if anyone mentioned it before but i just got a 12inch of jolly
mukarjee(? record at home) and the madras cinematic orchestra, absolutely
rocks my house. bollywood strings with full on drum 'n'bass assault in the
middle. a thing of rare beauty and power.

also bought the ninja tunes reissue of the frank chickens 'we are ninja',
just thought i'd mention it here as many of us are into all things japanese,
there's a nice pizzicato 5 mix but matt black and co. know it's the badly
recorded acapella that people will be buying it for. 'we are ninja, not
geisha, surprised?'.

also just got round to buying freddy fresh's 'last of the family men' which
i'm sure br. cleve has recommended. if you like jacknife lee, tim 'love' lee
(whose new album should be out right about now), or the bobby hughes
experience you should check him out.
also got his single on the excellent slut smalls series (with the beat
archeologist, whose album 'dust, static and plastic' would also appeal to
fans of the above artist, appears to be remaindered all over dublin. it is
slightly more straight hip-hop than the above though.

bought an incredibly pants album by gal costa 'personalidad'. avoid, it has
big hair bad clothes comes from the eighties and will corrupt your children.
and 'hard bossa' by joyce, which is really soft but just beautiful for the
good weather finally coming in. ah bossa on a sunny day.

True this is the literal meaning but the term seems to covers a wide
range of popular music ranging from the more traditional
Volksmusik (I think folk music... but Woody Guthrie it sure aint!) to
the sappy and schlocky.  Sure most of it is crap but there is some
good stuff buried in the pile, most of the best being non-Germans
singing in German and/or German language versions of Non-
German songs.  Explore at your own risk but be prepared for more
disappointment than success!

Do look into these sites. Both are in German but VERY thorough.
I'd buy a lot of these on the covers alone but even in Germany
they're very scarce!

This is a disturbing song, probably because my German

received the "Onania" tape might concur.

Subject: (exotica) New CD Add: "Song of The 2nd Moon"

New CD Add

Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan: "Song of The 2nd Moon"
(Two Little Kooks, Germany 2000)

$15.00 + shipping

Titles; Song Of The 2nd Moon, Sonic Re-Entry, Moon Maid, The Ray Makers,
The Visitor
 From Inner Space, Orbit Aurora, Twilight Ozone, Pianoforte.

Also released as The Elektrosonics-"Electronic Music"
Both circa 1960

Musique Concrete has NEVER been so melodic before or since these 2 releases
Psychedelic outer space electronic, with Horn Sections and even a Private
Eye/Crime Jazz Interlude on 1 title.

Tom Dissvelt and Kid Baltan's "Song of The 2nd Moon" is electronic outer
space musique concrete BUT in the most melodic and psychedelic way ever
conceived.

This record will make you have to reevaluate what you thought, electronic
and musique concrete, was.

It was music that was used in Television as theme music for the "Fantastic
Theater" program  in Tulsa, Oklahoma circa mid 1960's.

It was also the theme music to a somewhat similarly themed TV show in
Australia, in the early to mid 1960's.

It was also used on Boris Karloff's 2 (masterpiece, btw) LP's on Mercury
called "Tales of The Frightened", which I also have, ("Monsters" CD Page)
AND IS the weird outre' electronic sounds that Boris speaks over, is his
"music bed", BUT, all slowed down and twisted up sideways, with added
swooshes and whooshes of storms and such;

However, "Song of The 2nd Moon" is melodic, BUT SERIOUS electronic musique
concrete musics, and VERY outer space. Unless you have heard this, in 1 way
or another, you've never heard anything like this.

Also of great note, is that this record, though totally and completely
different than his style or sound ever was, this was THE RECORD that Jean
Jacques Perrey heard and rocked his world so hard, that he heard that he
could do and decided to do the voodoo he does, so well!

It showed him how musique concrete can be melodic as well as being serious
music at the same time, with great humor in it as well. Yes it did. But
"humor" doesn't always mean a "laugh" or a "chuckle" or is "ha ha ha"
funny. No it doesn't.

It even has a Crime Jazz sequence that comes totally out of nowhere with
great horn arrangements with electronics
AND THIS RECORD, is pre-moog. That's right. The Moog Synthesizer was
invented and available for use in 1966.

Perrey and Kinglsey's "In Sound From Way Out" (Vanguard, 1965) had no moog
on it,
as this has no moog on it

Titles; Song Of The 2nd Moon, Sonic Re-Entry, Moon Maid, The Ray Makers,
The Visitor
 From Inner Space, Orbit Aurora, Twilight Ozone, Pianoforte.

Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan:     "Song of The 2nd Moon"          Two
Little Kooks, Germany

Thanks again and keep rockin'

Just re-joined this list after a year or so on hiatus. What can anyone tell
me about Mort Garson's Music for Sensuous Lovers by "Z" (Anthem 1971)? I
think we talked about this record a few years back, but I can't recall.
Anyway, my turntable is not with me at the moment and I'm dying to listen
to this thing.

Check the Bear Family article in the latest Goldmine that briefly gives
the history of the label and founder, who won't issue a box set until he
has unearthed EVERYTHING by an artist. These sets are his labor of love,
as the company makes its money selling other records.

Been meaning to ask about Heidi Bruhl since I found 6 of her songs
posted as MP3's on usenet a while back, including the brenda lee song
"All Alone Am I" aka "Was Der Wind Erzahlt." Never see her records
anywhere, and have been looking for CD's without success until this
popped up. Heidi seems to be from the belter school, tho haven't heard
her shatter glass like Caterina or Little Peggy can - I have a German CD
of Peggy's and I love to blast her english semi-hit "Hello Heartache" in
freeway traffic. Now i know where to find more Heidi, and that Twist in
Germany CD at Bear looks great with artists like Joey Dee mit Fats and
his Cats !!!

http://www.bear-family.de/index_english.htm

Heidi made some movies - she was a princess in "Captain Sindbad" shown
on TCM just last Sunday(haven't watched it yet) and she played the
cheatin' wife of a mountain climber in Clint Eastwood's very
entertaining and funny "The Eiger Sanction." The IMDB shows her in a
movie called "Schlager-Racketen" - would that be a musical or a crime
film?

err... yes. A typo!
The album is called 'The Champ' though...
I think it was studio musicians - Alan Hawkshaw?
Pama was a ska/reggae label.

> If I am wrong then there are TWO bands that dug Fulson!

The 'Tramp' rhythm and lyrics turns up in plenty of tracks...
particularly Joe Tex's 'Papa Was Too'. All three of these songs have
been sampled again and again - the organ on 'Champ' and those Joe Tex
drums especially.

Yes, hence MoHAWKs, as my learned friend has just told me.  That is
Hawkshaw playing organ.

>The 'Tramp' rhythm and lyrics turns up in plenty of tracks...

And by extension, "Pink Pussycat" by Devo!

Quickly back to "Tramp", this was a Rene' Hall production.  Johnny Otis had
him on his radio show.  Another interesting fact is the record of "In the
Mood" by Ernie Fields was actually Hall and two other fellows.  He subbed
for him on that date, due to Fields being ill that day.  Since they were
friends, it was credited to Fields.

That's an evil little tale.  Was it Doug Kenny that wrote it?  I recall
another super nasty Thanksgiving story he wrote a few years later.  The
product of a very disturbed mind, and yet still quite funny.

I'm not sure - but strangely, I remember that story
nearly word for word (as in Dad's advice to his teen
daughter as she heads out the door on her first date).
The whole thing was written like a twisted episode of
"Father Knows Best": the 70s being a decade when many
folks my current age were looking wistfully back to
the snug 50s when there was as yet no herpes or pot
and all we had to fear was Russia (whose spies were
everywhere). Anyway... that particular issue featured
the sensitive tale: My Vagina, in which a high school
boy wakes up one fine morning to find he has one. This
is one of the funniest and most immature pieces NL
ever featured. Also in that issue was a story told in
a series of cartoon panels about three men driving
around fast, drunk and on quaaludes who, along the
way, costume themselves as Mr Peanut, the Pillsbury
Doughboy and the little Alka-seltzer character (one
panel shows Mr Peanut taking a swig from a bottle of
whiskey through his eye-hole) and converse on a wide
range of subjects, such as the strangest places they
had relieved themselves: "I once went in the back of a
television set." Eventually, they crash and burn and
the final panel is a newsman warning of the dangers of
drunk driving.

"Ew Daddy, that's gross!"

Jonah Jones

NEW YORK (AP) -- Jonah Jones, a Grammy award-winning jazz
trumpet player who began his career on a Mississippi riverboat and
became a star playing with Cab Calloway, died Sunday. He was 90.

Born in Louisville, Ky., in 1909, Jones performed around the Midwest
with artists and bands including Jimmie Lunceford, Stuff Smith,
McKinney's Cotton Pickers and Lil Armstrong, the wife of Louis
Armstrong.

His energetic solos with Smith's Onyx club band in the late 1930s earned
him widespread attention, and he soon earned a spot playing with
Calloway from 1941 to 1952.

Jones played Dixieland with Earl Hines and made a European tour in
1954, then began the work that won him fame beyond the world of jazz
aficionados.

His covers of swing favorites and show tunes brought him a string of
successful hits. He sold a million copies of his versions of ``On the Street
Where You Live'' and ``Baubles, Bangles and Beads.'' He won a
Grammy in 1959 for the album ``I Dig Chicks.''

Jones toured and recorded throughout the 1980s. He retired from public
performing in 1993. His final performance was at a benefit for the Jazz
Foundation of America at the Blue Note in Greenwich Village.

I thought I'd reply here. I am female, and have subscribed to the list for
several months. I don't post often because, as you can see from the date of
the above, I'm several weeks behind - just don't get to sit down and read
these as often as I'd like. And you guys write so darn fast!! <g>

Also, I still feel that I don't know enough about the topic of exotica - or
music in general, if you prefer to think of it that way - to post very often.
But I do enjoy being a member of this list and I've learned a great deal from
all you guys!

 Yup, that was the late Doug Kenny.  He is the one who leads the band into
 an alley on "Animal House".

The first 3+ years of National Lampoon are truly some of the funniest written
material around.  The National Lampoon Radio Hour was also great.  I've got
maybe 20 of the shows on tape and there is some very smart radio comedy in
there.  Michael O'Donoghue was an amazing writer.  There is one 45 second bit
they did that still stands, for me, as the radio comedy bit to measure all
others by.  It's a bit where one guy calls another from his dentists office
and tries to have the other guy guess which one of the 10 commandments he's
breaking.  It is a beautiful and crystalline 45 seconds of brilliant humor
writing.  I'll track it down and post it if anyone cares to hear it.

Has anyone read the paper (there's an online version, too) "The Onion".  It's
a weekly with a 8-10 pages of parody newspaper at the beginning.  It's nasty
and at times nearly as funny as Nat. Lampoon in it's early years.

The Onion: good stuff. Right up my alley, but not an

I do remember a classic back cover photo in National Lampoon: 'Black power
comes to South Africa', which showed a black man outside on an excersice
bike in the midday sun, pedalling to generate electricity for the air
conditioning and TV that the white folks were enjoying inside.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Vocal Musings: Les Masques

    yep, Les Masques are won'erful. i have their "Brasilian Sound" LP
(Dare Dare 007, Fance, 2000). A wonderful vocal French combo, making
Brazilian music with Sergio Mendes like vocal stylings; I estimate they're
2 male and 2 female voices. Mostly bossa nova-ish, but also with 1
fantastic happy Brazilian carnival sound. Reissue from 1969. Accompanied by
Le trio Camara, and by strings and brass on a couple of tracks. Sounds as
if remastered from a not too mint vinyl copy.

    Dusty groove writes: Groovy groovy groovy! Les Masques were a 60s
vocal-oriented Brazilian combo from France, and they had a tight jazzy
approach that was similar to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66! That alone would
be enough to make them #1 in our book -- but they also get some excellent
backing from the Trio Camara, who back the band with some nice organy
riffs, and a very tight rhythm section! The whole thing's a great lost bit
of Braziliana -- with that crossover sound that you'll hear on the best 60s
and 70s European recordings of this sort. Includes the great groover "Il
Faut Tenir", which has shown up on a few compilations over the years --
plus "Mais Un Jour", "Enfer", "Echo", "Un Regard .. Un Sourire",
"L'Oiseau", and "Les Filles et Les Garcons".

Subject: (exotica) Dada's Exotiquarium: eXotica Releases Overview: 1999 favorites: addition

i'm gonna add these 2 compilations to my fave's of 1999 overview:


* Various Artists: "Beat Vol. 1 - Lounge At Cinevox"
     o CD, Cinevox Record MDF 333, Italy, 1999 - rated 4
     o A bit like "Beat Psichedelico Alla Celluloide": very sixties "now"
       kind of beat with lots of organ and electric guitar, and not funky
       or jazzy like the "Easy tempo" series.


* Various Artists: "A Trip To Brazil vol. 2: Bossa & Beyond"
     o Double CD, EmArcy (Universal) 545 360, Germany, 1999 - rated 5
     o Excellent second volume, with 38 tracks in total, this time
       offering more than just classic bossa nova. Disc 2 offers acts who
       mix samba and other Brazilan sounds with elements from jazz, funk
       and psychedelia. Highly recommended! Don't confuse with the double
       vinyl "A Trip To Brazil: Bossa & Beyond", which features exactly
       the same front cover, and is really a "best of" compiled from "A
       Trip To Brazil - 40 Years Of Bossa Nova" and this very "vol. 2:
       Bossa & Beyond".

Subject: (exotica) This sounds weird?

From another list :

<<Anyoen heard this record by a guy named Jeremy Boyle...It's an ambient
record where he has apparently taken guitar solos from 70's and 80's arena
rock bands and has slowed them down considerably to create mood music.  It
sounds very ineteresting in theory...I would like to know if it's
interesting enough to purchase.

I started one, would anyone here join???" Millar>>

Sorry! When you're a schlager fan you get used to thinking you're
alone!   Of couse I'm a good 5,000 km+ further from Germany but...
As a schlager fan people automatically associate you with a
certain right wing element and instantly relate you to Heino!  Talk
about an image problem associated with a classification! Speaking
of... I passed up the chance to buy the Heino Christmas album at
the store last week (yes, it's as dreadful as the others!).  I took the
$8 I would have otherwise spent on this one and put it toward a
copy of the very rare and Canadian "Return of The Incredible Bongo
Band" which I'd never seen offered anywhere before.  Now I just
have to find the first release which is supposedly more common.
What are the chances of seeing these two reissued? Er... anyone
with the first one and a proper CD setup may want to contact me
privately...
