Yes, I know...but the archives are still there.  I will eventually replace
the link to one with a link to all 150+ pages.  Of course, some day they
may decide to clean up their webspace and kill the whole thing...and that
would be a sad day indeed.  See the archives while you can! (until I get a
link to all the
pages, just paste in the name of the html file at the end...such as
crawl1.html for the first page, crawl2.html for the 2nd and up through
crawl153.html (maybe there are more...I forgot when they pulled the plug).

I have a track by Lisandro Meza on the single-disc version of the "Planet
Squeezebox" comp. Small combo, interesting, I like it. According to the
liner notes, though, this piece is more of a cumbia.

Found another article on Vallenato here:
http://www.arcmusic.org/html/ideas/vallenato_frame.html

I wonder how Vallenato fits in with the other (my clumsy term) 'working
class fun-time musics'? To my ears, there seems to be a common thread
running through Polka, Klezmer, Tex-Mex, Tejano, Creole, Cajun, etc. Even
ska has a bit of it. Does Vallenato fit in with these at all, or are the
rhythms quite different? The Lisandro Meza piece does not seem to fit in
with these, actually. More complex rhythmically... wiggly, syncopated
basslines.

>For me it is impossible to hear Vallenatos as just
>music (that is without a context). It has an emotional charge
>(not positive, I'm afraid)  that just doesn't let me do that.

Does this bring up our old observation about one person's exotica being
another person's backyard?

I guess I can relate to that. I've had a hard time getting past my
childhood formations against polka. Now I can appreciate the more singular
works, but the cliched majority still makes me go blech. (And what's the
deal with these polka accordionists and their constant eighth-note pumping
on the bellows?!? If they don't stop that, they're gonna go blind!)

Speaking of the late Harold Nicholas, did anyone happen to see 'Down Argentine Way' a week or so ago (on AMC, I believe)? It was brill ... one of those 30's films with an hour and twenty minutes of singing and dancing and ten minutes of plot! The Nicholas brothers were featured in two outstanding numbers and Carmen Miranda also had two numbers. Great film.

Congratulations and celebrations and 100 "bussis" (baci) from Munich to
Brian K. and Cheryl for 100 fine editions of SPACE BOB!

Every sunday at 10 p.m. CET it has become a dearing habit to switch on
my old Centris AV Macintosh and squeeze out the last disposable
bits'n'bytes out of its pre-historic 68040Hz steam processor to tune
into the funky 28,8 K mono stream coming from "abroad", in fact a
university in Montreal, 4 p.m there, and listen to Brian and Cheryl
announcing their eternal 4 blocks of almost 4 songs of anything we ever
discussed in the Exotica list and more. It's actually more fun and
*precious* to hear something in the radio "while it happens", than to
"download"  files "from the internet" whenever you want to. And I must
say I "really really" like the fact that the setup of SPACE BOB never
changes but the music always brings pleasant surprises. Thanks to both
of you with the best wishes for your next 100 shows!

P.S. on #100: Conny Plank also produced the "Are We Not Men?" album by
Devo.
The reason why Sky records are reissued on all kinds of different labels
is, that the present owner simply sells each record to who pays the
most.
In ancient times the European border between catholicism and
protestantism ran right between Cologne and Dusseldorf, Cologne being on
the catholic side, Dusseldorf on the protestant, triggering a constant
competition between the two cities. BTW the valley of Dusseldorf is the
neighborvalley of the Neanderthal. So the entire era is a melting pot of
religions. Does that explain something? Who knows?

Subject: (exotica) Raymond Scott and His Orchestra: "This Time With Strings"

Johan, you appreciate Raymond Scott's "This Time With Strings" about as much as I do, musically, at about a 2...but the cover! This is one of my favorite album covers ever...pretty lady sitting on the floor on top of some large drawing of a violin, with yarn covering everything, including her...wow. If that isn't, uh, abstract expressionism and lounge music mashed together, I don't know what is. When I found my copy in the thrift, I was taken by how beautiful it looked and had it in my stack before I even noticed it was Scott. Well, maybe my priorities were confused -- I was looking for Hawaiian records at the time. Funny how intention is never quite met when thrifting.

Hi everyone,
Can someone tell me about this group. Or is there some reference on a web page? I have heard them before. "Quiet Village" and "Bali Hai". Very nice.

But then I picked up an LP by them called "The Romatic Lure of Hawaii" on the budget Somerset label and it just does not have the same "zing".

Subject: (exotica) Uncoventional Wisdom - Paradise Lost

The Washington Post has a weekly feature called 'Unconventional Wisdom'
- - and this week's topic gave a bit of history on the appeal of the South
Pacific Island paradise fantasy and how things were not as rosy as we
might think.  My favorite part is the theory that Easter Island was once
a forested island.

Much of the article's information is sourced from Patrick Kirch's book
'On the Road of the Winds', which sounds like a fascinating read.

Who can pass up such song titles as "I'm a Little Airplane", "Hey There
Little Insect", or "Double Chocolate Malted". I must say I made Jonathan's
"Rockin' Shopping Centre" the hit of architecture school in my early day.
The very early early stuff has an energy strongly reminiscent of the Velvet
Underground.  I second Ben's recommendation!

Went through the Roger Dean days myself along with the style of music for
which he did his cover art. Kind of all got buried when the new wave took
over and I can safely say I've never played them since. For all its worth I
still have those first two Yes records and the Roger Dean book too! You
forced it out of me Will... OK, now that feels better...

I don't have this CD.  In fact I think I had it once and decided it wasn't
my thing.  However, I liked the cover.  I remember hearing more about the
artist and I want to learn more about the person or find other examples.

Who has this CD?  Could you tell me who the cover artist is?  Thanks!

On another tangent:

Take any good latin big band mambo, pick strategic points to play a Perez
Prado "Dilo" and ta da!  you have a Perez Prado performance!  I sometimes
suspect that this has been done on cds claiming to be a record of a Perez
Prado band.

Besides his trademark dilo, what else makes a Perez Prado performance stand
out from others?

Subject: (exotica) E Allora A Mambo OST

'scuse the spelling Oh our Italian compatriots,  the LP is at home.  Picked
this Irma LP up in a bargain bin last week.  very good,  would have been
worth the full price.

Nice mix of stuff, it has a couple of Yma Sumac Mambo songs on it, some
Pizicato 5,  Madness and other bits.  I've not been a terrific fan of Yma
Sumac,  but I do like these songs,  the vocal pyrotechnics are a lot more
fun in this sort of energetic setting.  What LP('s) are these off?

Also I've not heard much in the way of the Pizzicato 5,  these 2 songs and
the remix on the Fotografiert Bunny 12.  The bunny remix is frantic hard
house with vocal snatches cut into it,  and the tracks on here are much
mellower, proper vocals and lots of Harpsichord,  I know there was a
discussion on the list when the last P5 LP came out that it was different to
the first,  was it along these lines?  What do people think of them
generally?

Also there are a number of cuts by a group called Soon Az,  I'm surprised
we've not discussed them,  I would say they were a modern group, but maybe
not.  Whats the score?

Finally,  I wasn't very impressed with the Piccioni track on here,  but he's
really another unknown to me,  I love all the  Piero Umiliani I have heard,
and the turn of the seventies Morricone,  how does Piccioni fit in here, is
this an unremarkable track?

Knowing the usual responses this will end up as a thread on bargain bins,
but I'd appreciate any comments.

Cheers

Geoff

Subject: (exotica) Kraftwerk revisited

Just ordered my copy of Senor Coconut from Rough Trade (great price for the
LP), and it reminded that while talking about it to one of my friends, he
played me 'Trans-Slovenian Express', and the Balenescu Quartet LP of
Kraftwerk covers.
I was hoping for full folk fiddles and accordions from TSE,  unfortunately
it was mostly 80's pomp rock and synth stuff without the humour of someone
like Laibach .  A couple of good thrash metal versions though.  The
Balenescu Quartet was more as expected,  mostly smooth with harsh 'modern'
moments, I thought it worked very well.

The thing was they whetted my appetite for more,  surely (at the early-mid
seventies) someone would have done some full orchestral versions?  I mean
Alan Tew was doing Abba covers quite late in the 70's.  I can hear it in my,
it WOULD WORK.  The BQ was good,  but I just wanted it more lush.

I think the folk versions would work just as well,  I think I'll paraphrase
Mo said from the initial batch of postings,  the melodies are good, they
transcend genre, they can be arranged an re-arranged in a number of musical
settings successfully.

IMHO.

forgot to sign my last mail, still in the low posting rate we are at
currently this will probably come up next anyway....

Subject: (exotica) Pizzicato 5 & E Allora Mambo

Hi Geoff
I played this album the other day and was amazed by the variety of the selection
and how well the songs fit together.   One of the Yma songs is from her Mambo
album, which got great reviews from Jane Fondel once on this list.
The P5 songs stand out very well on this collection and thats because P5 in my
humble opinion are a stupendous band!   I played "A Quiet Couple" last night. This
is the instrumental version of their first lp.  A very Burt Bacarach, Brian Wilson,
Henry Mancini influenced album.   As someone once said on this list a long time
ago,  early P5, (and the band goes back to the mid 80s), is most appropriate for
the list.  I'm not sure if I agree with that anymore.  This list is much wider open
to music these days and I think any P5 album could be discussed on the exotica
list.   Certainly the quality of P5 has stood up over the years though their style
got quite a few beats in it over the last 15 years.   I personally think their 12
inch single/cd  "Darling of the Discotheque"  from a year ago was one of their
highlights.  An intricate romp with sitar and sound images evoking I Am the Walrus
& Paint it Black and a host of others.  This song will make anyone dance.

And I would recommend trying Bossa Nova 2000 or....Made in the USA.
Mark Weisel who is or at least once was on this list has the greatest P5
discography site at
http://www.newmusicmachine.com/
just click on the P5 link
For pictures of their fantabulous album/cd covers  (sounds like an oxymoron
"fantabulous cd covers")  go to
http://www2hawaii.edu/~evaldez/pizzicato5/pictures/album_covers.htm

I also think of P5 as ahead of the Breakbeat movment in lounge music sampling.

I personally think Quiet Couple is a modern soft pop classic.  P5 were at the
forefront of this movement inspired by the soft pop indie movement in Britain.

The cover is an imitation Tretchikoff (the liner notes actually
apologise to him for it...) You might want to find the Sound Galleries
and give them another listen - they're quite good!

Some day I have to see that movie.  Just this morning, driving to work,  I
drove faster than usual over this sway in the road...just so I could make
my car bounce a little. "I just wanted to do the Bullitt thing" I told the
imaginary trooper who might have just pulled me over.

Seems all I know of the film are clips from the chase and nothing else.
Alas, no cable and not even a soundtrack to drive to!

An anecdote about Jonathon Richman's "quiet" gigs. I did a support for him
at a show in Melbourne quite a few years back (John Cale was headlining) and
JR came out in front of a largish concert hall and eniterly dispensed with
any amplification at all. No PA, no microphones. Played percussion by
slapping his body and just sang unamplified into the hall. The audience were
spellbound. Never seen it before or since. BTW John Cale came on after JR
and played electric piano at about 140db and ruined the atmosphere and the
eardrums of most of us.

Yes, both Sound Galleries are the top cheese of the Now Sound comps, in my
opinion.  Also, Music for TV Dinners: the 60s.  Mmmmm.

The second one is an imitation... oh, crap, now I've gone and forgotten.
The guy who did blow-ups of cartoon panels.  Jeez... what's his name?

I'm pretty sure that I have this on CD, stolen from my audio visual

to send this out to anyone who a:

Doesn't already have one

Please don't think too hard or apply too much effort.

Don't worry folks, I have a copy on vinyl already.

.....because "beggars can't be chosers" that's why!!!  Also, music is a =
limitless, beautacious experience that shouldn't be tainted by a graphic =
art-form which may in fact bend the listener's expectations by transmiting =

Can I have it?

I have uploaded an MP3 file of Noisy Village to my website

Open the link to Comp lps and it is the first section on the page.
I'm fairly new to this list and am really enjoying receiving the

people just swear and rant at each other trying to be shocking - this is
