Subject: (exotica) design records

I just got a design record at a convention today, "The Groovy Organ Goes
Romantic".  The cover has a sexy girl hovering over a "Panther" jazz
organ.  The music is ok, reminds me of the magic fingers of Merlin, or
Sir Julian.  For two bucks though, it was worth it for the cover.

Subject: (exotica) Impressions from a new Minidisc user

Just back from a short trip which netted us a deal on a Sony MD system that
we could not pass up.  Although our hope is to use it for show ID's,
background music and archiving shows, if what I heard was any indication,
it could well do much more!  I did a simple test recording using one of our
finest recordings and the analog input of the MD with the resulting sound
not too far off the original.  Oh sure the sound won't match the warmth of
a high end cd player or turntable but this is one nice toy!   Media is
expensive though (anyone know a cheap source?). It seems MD has found a
future in the broadcast industry with our station now acquiring a second MD
recorder to eventually replace the obsolete "cart".  It seems like the
perfect media for a small radio station though I'm not sure if any of the
larger stations also use them. Oh and the sampling rate is listed, even in
this lower model, as 44.1khz so...

So...  I may be asking for yet more advice from the regular MD users on the
list...

Subject: (exotica) A small chuckle

It may be local interest but this one ought to get a bit of a chuckle out
of some members:

Seems one of our own Celine Dion wannabee's here in Quebec, Ginette Reno,
made the papers for a gig she recently did.  Since few people know this
person outside Quebec let's describe her as of the physical stature of say
Kate Smith (or Rita MacNeil if you're into the Canadian maritime folk music
scene) but hardly an international superstar. Anyway, the "gig" in question
was a private appearance at the wedding of local biker boss Maurice (Mom)
Boucher at the family's private "lair". The wedding was attended by a
reporter from "Allo Police" a nearly 50 year old publication that's the
local equivalent of say Police Gazette.  She claims to have not been paid
for the concert and when quizzed on why she would do it asked "are they
criminals and killers 24 hours a day?" and then stated how God was on her
side as "Jesus was always spending time with a bad crowd". The columnists
joked that Celine would have known better than to agree to do such a
thing.  Oh the shame of it all...

Subject: (exotica) shafts big score

Got around to watching shafts big score over the weekend.  Whats with the
soundtrack on this?  I saw that Isaac Hayes did one track ('Type Thing'?),
which I suspect was a brief and weirdly dissonant track played while John
Shaft was beaten to crap.

Apart from that the main theme was a pretty funny attempt at a variant on
the Shaft song,  by Gordon Parks who also directed (maybe that should be the
other way round).  But most of the rest was oddly dated Crime Jazz.  Quite
good,  but not what you expect to be hearing at this point of the 70's (72)
in this sort of film.  Where the funk?

Subject: (exotica) hugo - charro

Isn't Charro the Elvis film where they try to do a spaghetti western?  I've
not seen it,  its never shown on TV here,  surprising as its reviewed as
probably the best of his later films (now is that some kind of
recommendation? ) and they've been showing all the usual crap recently in
the afternoon (live a little,  double trouble). All I know Elvis gets to
grow stubble in it.  Presumably the fact it has a Hugo Montenegro OST is
more to do with his success with the good the bad and the ugly (I can't
check ,  but thats the one isn't it) than his own style.

You can imagine it,  the Colonel and Hugo in a trailer,  'Go on son,  you
can knock up a soundtrack in a couple of weeks,  we just want it the same as
you did on that record',  colonel walks off puffing on cigar day-dreaming of
another night spent at the roulette wheel.

Thats not intended as a slight on HM in any way,  I loved the lady in cement
(see my post on the subject),  but you just know how it worked.

I'm a new fan of mini-disc myself, tho' I've had one for awhile- am just
starting to really use it. Like being here at work and getting stoof off the
web- I don't have a cd burner so its awfully convenient. Plus can easily
erase or rearrange trax if the download is bad or I get bored of the sample.
'Course its loaded as analog info (and there is no digital out) but it
sounds fine on the old stereo or boombox.

Check out this site:
www.minidisc.org/

which is great and has up to date info and more stats than you could ever
use.  Pretty much reflects the 'cult' intensity of md users I guess.]

Oh and by the way, I'm interested in trading (or starting a ring)
exclusively minidiscs (anything that this list would pretty much listen to:
lounge, exotica, contemporary 'classical'(ie, cage, feldman, messiaen,
etc.), sixties, krautroque, atari samples....). Anyone out there interested?

thanx,
pg

Which albums specifically? My brother turned me on to some Cardigans songs
and I was surprised to discover it was from a much later album ("Life," or
something like that). I figure I'll enjoy the older ones even more.

I have to check out that last one. I have Expreso and Aperitivo now, but I
still think Sombrero rules. All the samba/bossa stuff is awesome. And the
chord changes in those Free Design songs blow my mind.

> Also Try Red Sleeping Beauty I worship their filmusic album

Will do.

I've also recently heard two lovely bands, about which I know nothing: the
Seashells, and Shoestrings. Closer, I guess, to B&S.

Now I have Girlfrendo and April March on order! Yay!

Later,

Subject: (exotica) new Umiliani CD: Il Corpo

Piero Umiliani: Il Corpo
CD, Right Tempo/ Easy Tempo ET 933, Italy, 2000

Beautiful, relaxed soundtrack to a sex movie that transports the plot
of "The postman always rings twice" to an exotic island. The 3 key
elements of  the movie - eroticism, exoticism and suspense - are
nicely translated into the music: smooth strings and synths, flute
and wordless vocals cary the sensuous melodies; subtle exotic
percussion takes you to an exotic paradise; and then there's almost
always a slight touch of suspense lurking beneath the surface of the
music - a heavy bass guitar part for exemple. The resulting sound
reminds me a bit of Umiliani's "La Ragazza Dalla Pelle Di Luna", or a
mellow EZ version of Nico Fidenco's "Zombi Holocaust". Quite some
repetition of themes, as often seems to be the case with 1960's and
70's soundtracks.

my rating: very good!

         Johan

An interesting article in the NY Times Magazine about the future of television. Many of the things discussed here in the Napster debate are revisited but with emphasis on the effects of the digital revolution on commercial television.

Interesting read. To think that capitalism at the end might turn itself into some kind of socialism is very strange indeed. Seems like Marx was right after all.

Subject: (exotica) Re:  Really Bad Music

Those 4 CDs look pretty interesting.  I have more of that material than
I care to admit (!), but would say that MECO's disco themes from the
Wizard of Oz are significantly worse than his Close Encounters themes.
I also think the Muzak version of "I Am Woman" can be argued as good in
traditional terms.

I have a 4-LP boxed set of mid-1970s pop fodder performed by various
permutations from the "Living Series" performers on RCA that is
staggeringly bad, and I have been meaning to distill the absolute worst
material from the set onto 1 CD.  Songs made popular by John Denver and
worse performed by Living Voices are scary indeed.

Subject: (exotica) Os Mutantes/Rita Lee

Someone in a recent post was wondering about anything after Os Mutantes besides Rita Lee solo efforts...I couldn't find the original message, but whoever you were, you might be interested to know about Novos Baianos (New Bahaians). They were a post Mutantes effort with Baby Consuelo and Moraes Moreira, before Moraes went solo into the MPB style and churned out musical butter. Novos Baianos had more of a progressive, gritty rock feel combined with less of a psychedelic essence that Os Mutantes had. I would recommend their early to mid 70s works preferably to the late 70s works, if you can find them. I picked up some cheap vinyl in Rio, so I haven't investigated if albums have been reissued onto CD as I'm a much bigger fan of Tim Maia and Chico Buarque. I was in Dusty Groove the other week and I saw a copy of their "Acabou Chorare" album, priced relatively high. If anyone is a Tim Maia fan, the 1971 album has just been reissued onto vinyl anyway, and there were a bunch of copies there too.

It may be a matter of personal taste, but I like "La ragazza.." much more=
 than "Il corpo"; I consider that record one of the finest Umiliani's works=
 reissued by Easy Tempo (the others being "Sweden heaven and hell", "La=

I can't wait for the shops to open to get the new "Musicaelettronica"..=
 please note that the cover says "volume 1", so hopefully there will be more=
 of them! :)

Well, be of good cheer!  I just returned from a jaunt
to Wildwood, where I stayed at the fab Exotica palais,
THE SINGAPORE!  It's a huge pagodo-three story
hotel..It is a little pricey-so next time I'm heading
to the Kona Kai, repleat with a tiki sign and a
beautiful tiki display in the lobby!  It's accross
from the beach, but, with an atmosphere like that, who
cares!
There is also the fabulash Tahitian, and the VERY
now-sound Beach Comber-with a Brady Bunch-font sign
and actual EASY LISTENING (good stuff, too!) streaming
from the speakers...If wife-swapping goes on anywhere
in Wildwood, it's here!  I loved it!
I think next year we should hold some sorta exotica
convention in Wildwood, and MAYBE those of us missing
DON TIKI at the Kahiki will see them there!
Full-o-love, Jane Fondle

then nothing compares to the Gordon Jenkins-arranged disc ("The Future") from Frank's 3-lp concept package, Trilogy.
http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A70147
To quote from the above URL:
However good the first two records are, "The Future" is an unqualified mess. Written by Jenkins, the songs on "The Future" are ambitious, experimental, and self-referential ù in fact, it's more of a free-form suite than a set of songs. Most of the record is devoid of melody, and while the arrangements and orchestration are certainly interesting, they aren't very effective. Singing clichΘd, trite lyrics about peace, space travel, and his past, Sinatra sounds lost in the murky, atmospheric music of "The Future."

Thanks to those who've enquired; my daughter Sarah is home and
recovering completely from emergency appendectomy with peritonitis and

Subject: (exotica) Dave Pike

I just got Dave Pike's Infra Red LP through the post and I have to say
it has an air of quality about it that makes me impatient to hear it.
The cover is superb, with a cool font, purple wash, and some close ups
of long haired jazz players in a darkened club on the back.
Where's my record player when I need it most?

I'll have a listen tonight and report back in the morning. Sitars and
rocking late 60s jazz aplenty I hope.

Anybody else have this, or my next target, Dave Pike's Noisy Silence LP?

Subject: (exotica) Design Records

I have slowly been accumulating a backlog of Design Records, ever since I
picked up "Windmills of Your Mind" and found, among the miscellaneous crap
("Barcarolle," "Ritmo de Amor," both sure-fire stinkers from some dusty
late-1940s stock) a terrific cut, "Amor Mistico," featuring a combination
of doo-doo-doo female wordless vocals and a jazzy piano/vibes break.

I've since found this cut under several different names.  I think Design
was working with about 4 different instrumental tapes.  One was a killer
wordless vocal/jazz album that I have been trying to piece together from
their records.  Another was a so-so R&B/rock organ combo--music to strip or
detect by.  Another is pure crap string instrumentals at least 10 years
older than everything else on the label.  And then there is an imitation
Three Suns accordion/guitar combo, apparently recorded by some eavesdropper
staying in the hotel room next door, from the muffled sound quality.

Oh, yes, there is a fifth, too:  hack Hawaiian/C&W steel guitar stuff.  The
Dan and Dale albums appear to be mostly compiled from tapes 2, 4, and 5.

I just got this on CD and agree.Except for the
"take me now" part.... The Downtown track is from the ôStrangers in the Nightö record and despite the cheezy organ creeping into the Nelson Riddle arrangements I like this one too. Hey, they had to try something different as they already have done everything.

Even the ôBad Bad Leroy Brownö cut I mentioned earlier is not bad. It just seems that the selection is so inappropriate for Sinatra and that is what makes it camp.

When I was little I used to help my bicklayer dad and he always used to sing ôStrangers in the Nightö and it would drive me crazy! I would make noises and tell him to stop. Now I own a copy. IÆm going to have to sing it to my kids and ôcontinue the traditionö.

Subject: (exotica) Project 3 mailer

One of those cherished little items that fall out of records...
A Project 3 mailer, all folded nicely, where you can order records by Enoch
Light, Tony Mottola and/or The Free Design.
How many times have I thought of mailing it, just to see what happened.
(I know a story like that of a record collector who responded to a 25 year
old ad in Downbeat magazine.)
Anyway on this mailer, you can only order the records in cassette or
eight-track form.  No vinyl.
Is this just an anomaly?
I know they issued vinyl on these LPs since I have a couple of the Enochs
and the Tony's.  (I don't however have "Glittering Guitars".  Looks
interesting.)
Anyone understand this?
(No smartass replies please.)

With work and all I will not be able to make this wonderful event!

I did call the lady and without mentioning anything she said she had tickets

I know I will regret missing this! Don Tiki plus the Djs will make this a
very very extraordinary night at this primier Tiki resturant!

Thanks Otto for posting the information to the list.  Your magazine is also

The Sun Ra book indicates that there really was a "Dan". I forgot
his last name, but I'll look it up tomorrow. I can't
remember what it said about "Dale".  Perhaps they were hoping people
would confuse them with Dick Dale.  Anyway, I really like the
one that has the "oriental" stuff on it - I think it's the same
one as "Goldfinger".

Vinyl was the primary medium for Project 3 releases but most were
released in various other formats: 3 different formats of quad LP(!),
8-track, cassette and apparently even as CDs (though I've never seen any
of these).

I suspect the reason only 8-track and cassette are listed on the mailer
is that they are easier to send by mail and more likely to survive the
experience!

Dallas Morning News, September 24, 1924:

HANGS SELF AS HE THINKS DAYS OF JAZZ MUSIC GONE

BERLIN, Sept. 23 (AP) -- "The days of jazz music are gone, and as there
is
nothing else for me to do, I have decided to hang myself," were the
farewell
words of Kurt Kranzler, bass drummer in a Berlin jazz band.
    Kranzler was discharged because he persisted in dominating the band's
performances by too lusty application of his drumstick and cymbals. When
told that modern dance music no longer liked excessive noise, Kranzler
disappeared. He was found hanging by a strap taken from his bass drum
from a
tree in the Grunewald.
