Subject: (exotica) Pillow talk
Hi,
In the film Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson, Doris sings a tune called "Rolley Polley". Does anyone know if that tune is on the Pillow Talk soundtrack (if it exists, I'm not sure) and if not, if its available anywhere else?
Thanks
SP

Subject: (exotica) New Releases (Walker, Bollywood)
A few more new releases in at Forced Exposure
(http://www.forcedexposure.com.)
FONTANA (UK):
WALKER, SCOTT: Boy Child: 67-70 CD (FONT 705). A best-of
compilation of tracks from the first 5 Scott Walker albums: Scott, 2, 3,
4 and 'Til The Band Comes In'. "Awesome 'greatest hits' collection,
part of Fontana's Scott reissue program, spruced up with a lyric
sheet and 24 bit HBCD remastered sound from the original half
inch masters. Perfect for anyone who is wary of jumping in with
one of the full lengths, but as far as I'm concerned -- once you hear
this you'll want them all.Includes tracks from Scott's first five studio
albums, and the track selection is top notch, even considering the
fact that withthe idiosyncratic output of this guy, every fan is going
to have a different idea about which tracks are of the 'must hear'
variety. Another bonus: the inclusion of the B-side of Scott's 1967
single for 'Jackie', a track called 'The Plague', loosely based on the
Camus book of the same name, and we already find our hero staking
out his claim as a performer not afraid to confront subject matter others
of his (or any) era might find too "pretentious", for lack of a better
word. Who came up with the idea that self-indulgence is a bad thing
for an artist anyway? One minus: this collection originally had some
pretty great liner notes by one Marc Almond, which have been replaced
by some 'insightful' commentary by a blowhard named Neil Hannon, who
insists on mentioning his personal set of 'maple-finished Wharfdale
speakers', as if anyone gave a shit. Outside of that, this is a great
primer." -- Billy Kiely $13.50
OUTCASTE (UK):
VA: Bollywood Funk CD (CASTE 08 CD). More outrageous Indian
soundtrack material from the 60s/70s, in the style of QDK's famous
Doob Doob O' Rama series. "Outcaste Records, home of Nitin
Sawhney and Badmarsh & Shri, the UK╣s only label for sounds from
and influenced by the Asian subcontinent, presents a fine collection of
Indian film music. Culled from Bollywood╣s finest 60s and 70s cinema,
this collection features a movie myriad of funk, rare groove and
obscure breaks On╣ beats. Working as both a home listening CD and
a vinyl collector╣s dream, and mixing rolling breaks, free styling
flutes and mad vocal snippets, Bollywood Funk is fifteen funk fuelled
grooves, and is a feast of quality of Bollywood film music. The 60s
and 70s were the golden years of Indian film music, with composers
and producers such as the great R.D. Burman, looking towards western
music whilst retaining the traditions that characterise Indian film
music. Classic films such as Shalimaar, Hare Rama Hare Krishna and
Jewel Thief are all featured here, many of which are now unavailable

I have nothing to say. I just thought those lines should be set aside and

These tracks are part of the full remix album due shortly which includes a

Subject: (exotica) Bobby Trafalgar
Hello,
Just got a Bobby Trafalgar compilation Cd (put out by Paper Recordings) and it is absolutely brilliant. Some of the songs sound like Pizzicato 5 without the plastic.
But the whole story of his that appears in the booklet is sooo strange. Is it a hoax? Did he really exist?
I know it wouldn't change a thing about the music of the Cd (which is really great, I can not recommend it enough) but I don't know. I just got a feeling something is weird there. The songs sound too contemporary to be from the 60s or 70s. And also a lot of the songs were 'remixed' by Hakan Lidbo, so I was thinking maybe it's all his invention.
The linear notes can be seen at http://paper.state51.co.uk/people/bobbytrafalgar.html
Does anyone here know abut this thing?
Cheers,
Manuel

Subject: (exotica) Spinning on Air: Les Baxter special Part 1
If you can cram the following URL into your browser, and have RealAudio, you can hear part 1 of David Garland's great Les Baxter radio special.
Les Baxter, Part 1. Composer and orchestrator Les Baxter had a long career during which he helped start the Exotica trend in the '50s, composing the classic "Quiet Village" and working with Yma Sumac; later created scores for the exploitation films of American International, and even had a few instrumental hits. Baxter died in 1996, but was interviewed on Spinning On Air in 1990. This program features part 1 of that interview, and lots of Baxter's music. Part 2 airs next week.

I think IÆm into this cross pollination (or is it clash?) of cultures since my mom is Hispanic and my dad Italian so this was good for me.
Tea for Two, along with some Italian songs ..öCome Primaö, ôVolareö and a one Latin number ôCherry Pink and Apple Blossom Whiteö. Even a Japanese sounding ôSayonaraö to end the record!! Nice and bizarre all at the same time.
Going back to listen to æol DinoÆs Cha Cha DÆAmour!
