Subject: Re: (exotica) Underwater Geetars

Hmmm, I don't know exactly what it was that Vinnie was using, but I can
theorize.

I think there are a few elements to it, but the main thing is a high-speed
pitch modulation. There might be a bit of volume modulation in there as
well, but the pitch modulation is the main thing (a Fender amp's
tremolo/vibrato wouldn't do it -- that's only a volume modulation).

There's also a dose of spring reverb, but that alone would not do it. You
need the high-speed pitch warble for Vinnie's sound.

Nowadays you could approximate it with a fast flanger or chorus effect...
something to wiggle the pitch. Add reverb to taste.

I have no idea what Vinnie would have been using in the 60s. Maybe a
Magnatone amp? They had a true pitch-bending vibrato, back in the 50s
already (hear it on Buddy Holly's "Words Of Love").

Anyone here have the real skinny on Vinnie's bag o' tricks?

All I know is he built it himself; I don't think he's revealed what it's
components are, but you're right that pitch and filter  modulation with
some sort of spring reverb sound like the main ingrediants.

Did you listen to the NPR interview (URL posted earlier)?  Michael Tsao says
he intends to keep the outrigger shape and even the same floor plan.  At the
party, he said something about adding a patio area.

A few of the locals I talked to seemed pessimistic about a new Kahiki.
Including Herman Leitwan who "built the Kahiki" and Bill Eisele cousin of
the architect.

On an upnote, Michael Tsao said that Kahiki Foods will be shipping to Sam's
Club stores across the United States.  I take it he was talking about the
frozen dinners?

Heard it from a friend who

heard it from a friend who

heard it from another that Vinnie Bell, the king of the pop sitar,  invented
the Wah-wah pedal.

Is this true? can anyone confirm this 4th hand imformation that I have?

also

Heard that there is a Bill Plummer and the Cosmic Brotherhood live cd out
there recorded by Bob Thiele when he was with Impulse just before he founded
the Flying Dutchman label. Anyone have it or care to comment on it, or know
the whereabouts of this?

Subject: (exotica) Michel Magne's Tropical Fantasy

The recent discussion about Magne has renewed my search for his exotica LP
"Tropical Fantasy".  The search, of course, has been fruitless once again.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy?  More directly, would anyone be
willing to burn me one (from vinyl or cd)?  I have some items for trade or
will exchange $$$.

Sorry for soliciting the list.  It was a last resort.

Thanks...

Subject: (exotica) Seksu Roba plug

hi,
despite not participating for quite a while, i have been on this list for a
number of years now...

while this doesn't justify a shameless self-promotion, i like to think it
helps a little ;)

my band Seksu Roba is in the midst of our very first release.  it's on
crippled dick hot wax (vampyros lesbos, beat at cinecitta, etc...) out of
germany.  and it is now available in europe online at atrecordings:

http://www.atrecordings.com/FrontSite/LabelArtistAlbum/artist2.asp?artist=art_seksur00&label=
(you can listen to all the tracks on real audio there)

in the states dusty grooves will be definitely selling it (soon):
http://www.dustygrooves.com

better yet, ask your local cool music store to sell it!  in the states,
caroline is distributing, so it shouldn't be difficult to order.  in europe
there's popbiz, tripsichord, konkurrent, srd, tuba, and probably more.
limited LP is available!  which i highly recommend because the cover art is
great and you can show it off to friends.

Seksu Roba is a mish mash of a lot of sounds.  there's psychedelia, there's
samples, there's moogy electronics, some theremin, there's sex, drugs, and
much more.  fans of tipsy, sukia, and the like may dig this however there's
definitely a lot of musicality and melody to be sure.  we firmly believe in
using samples as a springboard for musical exploration.

there's a full page article in the U.K. magazine, Sleazenation.

ok enough plugging.  i humbly beseech thee to check us out.  please visit
our web page.  the free mp3's may not be on there too much longer, or they
may be reduced to a slightly lower bit rate.  http://www.seksuroba.com

thank you for indulging my bit of self promotion.
kevin sukho leeeeee


ps  if you have a radio show, we're more than willing to burn a cd-r copy
for you.  unfortunately i only have a certain number of promo copies to give
away and i need to reserve those for the stores.  store owners/employees
definitely please contact me...

Subject: (exotica) news on Alessandroni!

first of all, sorry if http://www.mp3.com/alessandroni was almost
unreadable in the past days.
Mp3.com has changed the html design of its pages and it din't get a chance
to log in and change the colors of the texts before... sorry for that. It
should look ok now, but if any of you notice something strange, please
email me privately. The contents of the page remain the same for now, the
posting of new tracks will be announced here soon.

On "real" Alessandroni news, anyway, please take a look at
http://www.hexacord.com
Looks like my friends at Hexacord have put a pic of the cover of the next
Alessandroni CD!
This will be the soundtrack of a new, absurd movie that according to
Roberto Zamori is a cross between kung-fu movies and spaghetti western. The
title is "Trinity goes west", so I assume its a tribute/spin-off to the
Trinity series with Bud Spencer (just my supposition anyway!)... or
better... something like Bud PSencer meets some Bruce Lee impersonator? ;)
I think it is a cool concept and I can't wait to see it and hear the music :-)

This guy (known from the Big Itch series.) seems to have a recent

Arjan

................

*****T Valentine - Hello Lucille...Are You A Lesbian? (Norton LP).
I'm actually lost for words and confused here, not unlike after my
first exposure to 'Paralysed'. It's not that all of this is new to me but
in the context of an entire full-length all tunes definitively reach new
levels of insanity. The title track alone is worth the askin' price, but
you too 'll be left speechless and wonderin' "what is this" after the
first spin. Dunno how this 'll hold up in the long run but Nick Toshes
liners are for keeps anyway, so.....

Subject: (exotica) Citizen Kafka performance...

Hi, all,

The Wretched Refuse String Band will be playing FREE outdoors in Cobble
Hill, Brooklyn, this coming Thursday, September 7th, from 5 to 8 PM.
This is the BIG BAND:

Citizen Kafka - fiddle and mouth
Ken Kosek -     fiddle
Andy Statman -  mandolin
Akira Satake -  banjo
Bob Jones -     guitar
Jon Sholle -    guitar
Jeff Berman -   percussion
Jason Sypher -  upright bass
Dave Thompson - vocals

To most of you, Dave Thompson's name may be unfamiliar... Dave is simply
one of the best bluegrass vocalists around. One reason for the stellar
line-up is we're beginning to prepare for a string band recording for
Andy Statman. This will be hot and fun!

It's a great, informal block and park party run by the neighborhood
association. They also sell meal tickets, which get you copious amounts
of great homemade and cafe food. It's on the corner of Clinton Street
and Congress St. Clinton is between Court St. and Henry St., and
Congress is 3 blocks south of Atlantic (Atlantic, Pacific, Amity,
Congress). It's very near the Atlantic Avenue exit of the BQE, and close
to the Bergen Street stop on the F train. There's usually good street
parking, too.

Rain date: Friday, September 8th, 5 to 8 PM.

Come down this Thursday, say hello, and enjoy some great music! Take
care,

citizen kafka

PS please forward this to any lists which would be interested... thanks!

Subject: Re: (exotica) Manchester

i lived in manchester a few years ago, and although i still visit
occasionally,  i can only give you sketchy info :

>record stores :

vinyl exchange, oldham st : 2nd hand vinyl downstairs, good prices,
reasonable jazz section and some bits of exotica

piccaddilly records, oldham st : best place for new/reissued stuff with
helpful reviews stuck on the display copies.

fat city, oldham st : more reissues, plus some 2nd hand

decoy records, deansgate : great for new/2nd hand jazz.

kingbee, chorlton : don't make a special trip, but if you're driving past
you might find a bargain or two.

expansions, swan st?? : i think this is somewhere near 'band on the wall'
(the main jazz venue) now. pricey, but you might find some unusual stuff here.

goldmine : this one's also moved because of the bomb a few years back. a
real mecca for northern soul 45s, but you might pick up some real bargains
from slightly different musical territory. a legendary record store.

afflecks palace, oldham st : there's a soul/jazz stall on the 1st floor
which always has some good, cheap records.

>shops :

downstairs from 'cafe pop', oldham st : an aladins cave of kitsch
furniture, clothes, radios,  etc etc, all original stuff (but expensive).
nice cafe too.

>clubs :

i think there might be a weekly exotica-type night called 'the tiger lounge'.

>bars/cafes :

too many to mention : oldham st, canal st, deansgate, castlefield are the
main areas though. 'atlas' near deansgate station is a nice one.

>venues :

band on the wall, swan st. used to be a  'ronnie scotts'/'mean fiddler'
type venue. now a bit more clubby i think.

night and day, oldham st  : nice relaxed place with local jazzy/funky bands.

>cinema :

look no further than the cornerhouse, oxford rd. the only place that shows
'arthouse' films : also a nice bar and art gallery.

>restaurants :

try the painfully cool (and expensive) 'mash' if you're into that kind of
thing.
you shouldn't leave manchester without having a rusholme curry. take a bus
up oxford rd. and take your pick from about 50 restaurants. the 'indian
cottage' is vaguely kitsch upstairs and has good food.

>further info :

you'll have fun i'm sure, but i challenge you to find a nice-looking

William,

Good stuff huh? That might be Rosemary Clooney. The album they did together "A Touch of Tabasco" has got to be on my top 100 list.

Here are the songs on that album. It may still be available on CD as a Japanese import.

1. 01- Corazon de Melon - [1:56]
2. 02- Like A Woman - [1:56]
3. 03- I Only Have Eyes For You - [2:02]
4. 04- Magic Is The Moonlight - [2:29]
5. 05- In A Little Spanish Town - [1:58]
6. 06- Sway - [2:31]
7. 07- Mack The Knife - [1:54]
8. 08- Bali Ha'i - [2:20]
9. 09- You Do Something To Me - [1:29]
10. 10- Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu Paloma - [2:27]
11. 11- I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' - [2:07]
12. 12- Adios - [2:08]

Agreed totally. Rosie's voice is riveting and she sings with a whole lotta
soul too. In Living Stereo it has it all...They do the definitive version of

here is it would qualify for partial Canadian Content if we played it on
our show - of course we could lose the staion its license in the process
but...) This is the album that has her version of the Beatles hit
"Michelle" along with a number of interesting spoken word tracks. So in my
excitement to pick this one up  I forgot to listen to Moyshe Mouse which
didn't sound all that interesting the first time anyway. I'll try it again
next time though...

Subject: (exotica) Fil soundtracks

We had a nice surprise in town today.  As part of the Festival des films du
monde de Montreal, a surprise outdoor concert by Emir Kusterica and "The No
Smoking Orchestra".  For the unacquainted, Kusterica is a film director
from former Yugoslavia, responsible for a number of completely wild films
including Time of the Gypsies, Underground, Black Cat White Cat, and
Arizona Dream, the last one filmed in the US, featuring Jerry Lewis and
including some seriously deranged music by Iggy Pop. The orchestra today
played something which one could only describe as "deranged gypsy" sounds!
The films are not to be missed and soundtrack recordings are mostly
available as French imports.  One of few instances where I've enjoyed
listening to music with accordion in it!  The CDs may appear under the name
of the composer of many of the scores, Goran Bregovic.

Subject: (exotica) Italian Instabile Orchestra

When I was driving up to see Ursula 1000 in Cleveland Sunday night, the
Cleveland NPR station was having their simulcast of the Chicago Jazz
Festival on the radio. I caught the end of a set by this "Italian
Instabile Orchestra" which was INCREDIBLE. I'm not much of a
"serious"/"straight" jazz fan, but this group seemed to have more in
common with the Space Age Pop orchestras than what I tend to hear as
"jazz" these days.

It was manic, eclectic swing big band with some bizarre experimental
edges and a definite sense of humor. One of the commentators was
describing them as Nino Rota/Felliniesque. Not stylistically necessarily,
but its *attitude* reminded me of big band Prado at its frenetic, crazed
horn-section best with a Sauter-Finegan smart, highly-skilled quirky
playfulness.

I don't know how their recordings stack up, but upon an initial listen of
this live material: REALLY INTRIGUING STUFF.

Anybody familiar with their stuff or have any other dirt on this band?
There's only a new release due in a week that I see listed at CD Now.

The scoop lifted from the Chicago Jazz Fest Chicago Reader schedule site:

Italian Instabile Orchestra

This gig is certain to be the major revelation of this year's fest. The
Italian Instabile Orchestra, first convened in 1990, is a large, woolly
assemblage of the most adventurous musicians from Italy's potent jazz
community. Its music draws together many of the threads running through
various Italian takes on jazz -- melancholy folk material, vaudevillian
cheekiness, astounding technical feats, soul-searing intensity, unabashed
experimentalism, a winning theatricality, and a genuine love and
understanding for the full breadth of American jazz. One might expect an
18-member ensemble of any kind to sound totally out of control, but while
some healthy chaos was a key ingredient of a performance I saw this
summer in Montreal, overall the music was stunningly disciplined, even at
its most absurd. The members take turns conducting their peers on
original compositions that place equal emphasis on ensemble passages and
roof-raising solos and duets; it's not hyperbole to say there was never a
dull moment. "Instabile" of course means unstable, and the lineup is in
constant flux. Though heavies like trumpeter Enrico Rava and pianist
Giorgio Gaslini have played in the band, none of the really big names is
coming to Chicago. But many of those who are coming are distinguished in
their own right: reedist Gianluigi Trovesi, for example, just released In
cerca di cibo (ECM), a wonderful duet recording with accordion player
Gianni Coscia that addresses Italian folk melodies with free jazz
exuberance. Also on board are trumpeters Pino Minafra, Guido Mazzon, and
Alberto Mandarini; trombonists Sebi Tramontana and Giancarlo Schiaffini
(who played duets at the Empty Bottle Festival of Jazz & Improvised Music
in 1999) and Lauro Rossi; French hornist Martin Mayes; reedists Carlo
Actis Dato, Daniele Cavallanti, Eugenio Colombo, and Mario Schiano;
violinist Renato Geremia; pianist Umberto Petrin; bassist Paulo Damiani;
and percussionists Vincenzo Mazzone, Tiziano Tononi, and Riccardo
Bergerone.

Ronnie Hawkins also appears on that record (speaking, not singing). Ms.
Hollander was also the star of a Canadian movie -- My Pleasure is My
Business, directed by none other than Al "King of Kensington" Waxman.

Subject: (exotica) Bebel Gilberto on tv tonight

Bebel Gilberto is listed on tonight's (Tuesday) Conan O'Brien show.

Also, late Thursday night (or early Friday morning) at 3:30am (eastern),
TCM airs "The Loved One" (1965). Not to be missed. "Mrs. Joyboy" is a
character escaped from a John Waters film.

Also, also, Friday nights this month, TCM is running French New Wave films.
To get a musical connection in here, I'll note that "Shoot The Piano
Player" (1960) is included this coming Friday (2:00am).

Subject: (exotica) question

Hello Everybody:

I'm new to this list, and I just got into spy music/space pop recently.  I
have really gotten into Peter Thomas and all his works.  Can somebody give me
some suggestions to some great crime/spy music and albums that are just as
good as Peter thomas stuff?

Thanks for all the help.

Lu
