http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/108/loungebots.html

I've just stumbled across this combo, described as "a father and son electronic band blending jazz, bossa nova and lounge."

Unfortunately I'm having trouble accessing the sound files here at work.
Can someone please give 'em a listen and suggest whether or not I drop the $6 for their disc?

Thanks,
Lou

OK, this information may be of statistical value to someone out there. . .

I've been chasing down exotica LPs since about 1993. I like the
thrill of the hunt, so rather than buying through dealers I spend
quite a lot of time scrounging through yard sales, thrift stores,
flea markets, etc. I've discovered quite a lot of bizarre and
delightful music in this way. And as they say, it builds character.

Anyway, after 7 years and pawing through probably miles of record
bins, I have never ONCE even SEEN an Esquivel LP.

Until this weekend.

At a flea market in northern Michigan I came across this deluxe RCA
package, _Stereo for the Joy of It_. This is a big padded binder-like
sampler, which contains 10 complete RCA albums in pockets which
reproduce the covers of the original release--with several extra
pages full of colorful verbiage about the miracle of stereophonic
sound. This includes several fun LPs like Cugat's _The King Plays
some Aces_ and Dick Schory's _Music for Bang Baaroom and Harp_(as
well as some other real snores). But keep your eyes out for this one,
kiddies, cause it also has the complete Esquivel _Other Worlds Other
Sounds_, his US debut album.

Six dollars. Great condition. It's missing two disks, but they're the
ones I would have considered the most expendable anyway.

I'm not at liberty to reveal the exact location where I found this.
But I will say that it's a very short drive to nearby establishment
where you may purchase excellent homemade Elk, Ostrich and Bear
jerky. . . (I recommend the Buffalo).

cheers,

hi all,

  sorry for this off topic post but here it goes anyway. soon i will be
headed to seattle for a quick vacation. anyone have reccomendations for good
places to shop for cds? the last time i was home about a year ago the record
store selection was terrible. outside of wall of sound i found hardly any
shops that had anything interesting. any reccomendations? unfortunately i
will only be in seattle proper(and with no car at that) for two weekends.
during the week i will be out on the penninsula with my parents, so i guess
i won't be able to take in d.j. EZ at the lava lounge.:(

               william in taipei.

ps. and has anyone in the seattle are seen the book songs in the key of z or
know where i could buy it while home? and/or the cd of music of the same

hmm, yeah, it could be her. the songs in question are not on that disc
though. they are "ok joe calypso" and "mama teach me to dance". the disc
says they were previously unissued. i don't know if they were just sitting
in a vault somewhere or if they are from a film or what...but i will be on
the lookout for that disc you mentioned as a japanese import. japanese
imports often show up here for a bit cheaper than elsewhere. the only prado
disc i know of that i have seen of late in a japanese form is some
compilation. there is also one for xavier cugat. well, maybe after my trip i
will splurge and pick them up. their a bit expensive compared to usual cd
prices here. but not outrageously so.

Subject: (exotica) Paul Desmond

Great reissue discovery:

"Verve by Request" recently put out a 1969 A&M album by a Paul Desmond,
called "From the Hot Afternoon", and it's truly an Exotica find. The
album cover looks like an ordinary jazz cover of that time and perhaps
therefore was undiscovered for by the lovers of an exotically
intoxicated brazilesque jazz sound. But it's an amazing recording,
especially because the guy's instrument is the saxophone, which in
Exotica is a rather rarely used instrument. But it fits well into the
layers of big orchestral instrumentation and surely adds up some
different spice for those who have heard "everything" already.

Somehow the recent changes in company ownership by shareholder madness
have made it possible that records of A&M can be rereleased at last. I
hope there will a lot more come out of this corner, like all the Herb
Alpert albums etc etc.

The past still has some surprises to offer...

Same with me, except I've been doing it for 20 years. That's why a few months
ago I finally decided to buy me 3 of those CD reissues, which I usually never
do. And here's the down part of the story: I was a little bit disappointed by
what I heard. Especially the "4 Corners Of The World" album didn't live up to
the high expectations I had about Esquivel from the extensive praise I've been
reading in this list over the years. The "Latinesque", which was the only one I
owned - and actually knew before - is still by far the best, imho. Do I share
these opinions with anybody else?

Paul Desmond is one of my heroes--my favorite alto player!  He
was with the Dave Brubeck Quartet for years and wrote the classic
"Take Five".  I really love the records he made for Verve and CTI
after he left the Quartet.  During his lifetime Desmond was widely
quoted as saying he always tried to make his alto sound "like a dry
martini".

The music is obviously a "hyper-parody" of a lounge act Vegas style.  The =

Can anyone expound on this LP?  And is it pure parody as I suspect?

Aloha y'all-

sorry to have not chimed in sooner re the Bon Voyage,
Kahiki! extravaganza, but I just returned to da
islands after a bit of vacation time (and time off
from computers) via the lush pacific northwest. but
what a night it was... one of those once-in-a-lifetime
memorable events at the mecca of all things tiki.
massive mahalos to Otto + Tiki News for organizing the
swellegant night and to Michael Tsao for gracious
hosting and generous funding to bring our troupe of
eleven to OH! also major props to Tiki Bob and DJ
Jimmy B for great, comprehensive reporting on the
night... and for shaking yer boooties thru both sets.
it was great to finally meet many Exotica List members
live and in person like Jeff Chenault, Michael Toth,
Jack Fetterman and Brother Cleve... see Sven Tiki's
definitive bible, "The Book of Tiki" and on and on. us
natives had a wonderful time and hope to be there when
Mr. Tsao reopens on the waterfront as threatened that
night...

Hana hou!

Well, I'm fond of "4 Corners" myself, but I know I'm in the minority there.
It doesn't have any of the elaborate, hyper-dynamic arrangements of his
full orchestra records (that 'Calder mobile in a windstorm' quality). Those
wild arrangements being his famed and acclaimed superpower.

"4 Corners" is simply a casual small-combo set. If I didn't also have CDs
of his wild stuff, I might feel differently, but I like "4 Corners" for the
contrast. To me, it feels like after-hours Esquivel... kicking back and
breezing through some standards... nicely and intimately recorded. I don't
like it better than the *POW* albums -- I'm just grateful for the
opportunity to hear another side of him.

I knew Tim (Lane's real name) back in the early 80s in Alabama, where he
still lives.  (Friends there see him around from time to time.)  I don't
think he's performed live in years but could be wrong and will ask.
Whatever it might sound like now, it's not "pure" parody any more than the
Residents are and of course predates the lounge revival by years.

As am I!  Esquivel is an interesting enough(dare I say
brilliant) pianist and arranger than even without the
"belles", whistles, and zu-zu-zus, it's still a
fan-tab album and all.  I got it from somebody who
deemed it "boring" and boy, was he wrong!

It would have been more credible if they'd made it grandparents' records
instead of parents, though. It's a strange family using their numbers.

They got married in 1968, when Dad was 23.

Then they don't have the kid until 1984! What's up with that?!?

Grandparents would have made a lot more sense.

What's up with that is that the Onion writers are
actually of my generation (born late 60s and early 70s),
and actually *did* have experiences like that (I remember
chuckling over my best friend's parents' Percy Faith
records).  I doubt any kid born in 1984 would even get the humor.
Most of them don't even know what an LP is. And those
smelly records we're buying in thrifts and garage sales?
Aren't those the same records that "mom" and "dad" got
rid of once they had to face an empty nest?

Well, I downloaded these.  They are okay.  Not bad, but not fantastic.  I'd
be sure to try and pull one or two down before listening.  They sound a bit
like Gentle People sometimes, with that drifty club feel.  I dunno.

On the other hand, I'm still listening.

This brings up a fun topic - who's parent had the worst albums.

My dad de-evolved from Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans (three
Gods) into Chuck Mangione and Cleo Laine. He got hip with an Al Stewart
"Year of the Cat" album. Talk about frightful...

On further review, nah.  They are like weak Gentle People at their best
moments.  On their worst moments, they are basically easy-jazz.

Is there anything on MP3.com worth listening too?
Just wondering.

My Mom: mostly opera on very scratchy 78s...once rejected a Joni Mitchell album
I bought her as "too electric".

My Dad: Ray Conniff Singers, Mitch Miller, and yes, the very Johnny Horton
album featured in the Onion article. To be fair, he also turned me on to Johnny
Cash and Louis Prima.

Humorous aside: I was invited to a country/western bar in, of all places,
Munich several years ago. They even had authentic chicken wire in front of the
stage. When the band started playing Horton's "Battle of New Orleans" a huge
"JAH!" accompanied by fist pumping rose up when they sang the line, "And we
caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans." Old WWII resentments
don't run very deep, I guess.

Mine had an interesting mix ranging from John Gary, Mitch Miller & Lawrence

There's a station called (I think) The Worst of the Web. And it's pretty
darn good. The comments the guy receives are even funnier.

I've found good stuff on mp3.com by typing in "favorite artist here" and
clicking on "Similar Artists." Some of the bands that cite Pizzicato Five as
one of their influences are good -- I think there's one called Riviera...

Later,

Even though we had a stereo, I can't ever remember my parents actually putting a record on this stereo.  I think they bought the whole thing more as an amusement for us kids.

We had very few LPs that could be considered best-sellers.  Instead we had lots of LPs that were bought from the cut-out bins for only 50 cents, and stuff that might have been bought in bulk during the closing minutes of a yard sale.   Our collection featured stuff like 'The Lonseome Valley Singers play the hits of Hank Williams', 'Today's Pop Hits'  by some unknown cover band, the cash-in LP titled 'Ballad of the Green Berets' with the beret on the cover - not the original by Barry Sadler, and those fake Beatle Lps that didn't quite really sound like the Beatles.  Also featured were Grade B and C country
performers, quite a few polka records, and those Christmas LPs that one could buy really cheap from your local Firestone dealer.

Yet, I consider myself fortunate.  Much worse would be those parents who didn't bring any stereo or Lps into their house.

I had rather cool parents, actually.  I credit my love of music to them.  I
wonder if being one of the first African-American families in the
county(Rockland County, New York) shaped their tastes at all. Amidst the
Stravinsky, Victoria de Los Angeles (Mom's favorite opera singer), Les
Baxter (10 inch of "Le Sacre du Savage") and Taboo (thanks to a list
member, I have this one on tape again!)  there were a couple of lapses:

Jerry Vale - What a Wonderful World

The Living Voices of Christmas - The Bible says you should make a joyful
noise unto the Lord, but I don't recall reading, "Make a banal and flaccid
noise unto the Lord".  Which translation did these folks get?

The worst record that either of them bought was...Jo Basile's "My World",
my brother and I's nomination for worst record issued in the Western
Hemisphere.
