I can't agree with that. It 's his best Up Tempo Soul Track that i know
from Tom Jones but to say that it is the the biggest hipshaking mother of all
records is exaggerated. Just for example some
Up Tempo BATUCADA tracks from the late 60s are much groovyer. Or

The stuff in that field i am most after is late 60s Latin Soul and Latin
Funk at the moment because there is still a lot undiscovert that hardly needs

I think with orgasmic pop you mean Psych Pop ? The last two DANCEABLE
Psych Pop tracks I have found where :
BILLY NICHOLLS   Portobello Road    on CD 'Would You Believe' Immediate,

PHILWIT & PEGASUS   Elephant Song    LP Boot Comp 'Collecting Peppermint

Subject: Re: (exotica) RE: Eno/Evil

Eno has lost some of his edge over the years (who among us hasn't?), but on the
whole I have always found his music challenging and ahead of its time. Is it
evil? Maybe in a very goofy, off-kilter sort of way. Is it New Age? I don't
think so.

New Age is a musical label that I have a very difficult time with. It really has
no defining qualities other than it tends to be either kind of upbeat and jazzy,
or else it leans towards ambient. New Age is really more applicable as a tag for
a certain set of spiritual beliefs that include crystals, channeling, past
lives, and other sorts of quasi-mystical piffle. AFAIK, John Tesh has no
particular ties to J.Z. Knight or Shirley Maclaine. Yanni, however, seems to be
rather fond of donning the trappings of neo-mysticism.

Oh yeah, I highly recommend Eno's book "A Year With Swollen Appendices." It's a
very insightful personal journal that chronicles his travels, musical
activities, and artistic endeavors over the course of 1995.

Speaking of Gavin Bryars, I recently re-listened to my copy of Gavin Bryars
"Jesus' Blood Never Failed MeYet" in which he has Tom Waits singing along to
a drunken old man of whom Bryars audio taped years back singing on some back
street. I will say that this song haunts me still and has frequented my
nightmares in the past. Just the concept alone on this cd makes me shiver.
Kind of repetitive, but the reptition adds to the creepiness and keeps
getting creepier every time I hear it. hate to use these words together, but
it is truly beautifully haunting.

Brrrrr!

Subject: (exotica) Conniff disco covers and Mancini themes

Speaking of easy versions of disco, I forgot that I had the 8-Track of Ray Conniff Plays the Bee Gees & Other Great Hits. Not bad, though the "other great hits", which include "Just the Way You Are", "You Light Up My Life", and "Evergreen" are really not much better than the originals.

Re: Mancini's Cop Show Themes. No one should have to pay more than $10 for that on vinyl. Few years back it was about a dime a dozen in the thrifts. I don't think DJs have caused any inflation on Mancini's Angels though, which has some great tracks on it, including "Theme from Charlie's Angels", and the infuriatingly catchy/silly "What's Happening" theme. Also fine is The Theme Scene which sports a really sort of funky/sinister-sounding "NBC Nightly News Theme", "Theme from Fantasy Island" and I must admit I'm very fond of the quirky version of the "Three's Company Theme" which is full of sexy little vocal "do-do-dos".

Subject: (exotica) berry lipman

hi..

i was browsing thru Dusty Groove and noticed a bunch of Berry Lipman imports.
 i recall a fellow listee being very pleased to score a Lipman record awhile
ago and wonder if there anything here that somebody could recommend.

Thanks

1.  Berry Lipman -- Capricious Squall
70s easy tunes from Germany -- all composed and arranged by the mad mad Berry
Lipman, with a sort of brassy nostalgia for a pre-war past....

 2.  Berry Lipman -- Star Maidens -- The Girl From Space
Hip Japanese version of this tasty set of sci-fi grooves! Berry Lipman's
music for the obscure Star Maidens TV show is some of the wildest stuff we've
heard in a long time -- and it's got a style and sound that's a bit like some
of Peter Thomas' funkier work, mixed with kind of a Starsky & Hutch approach
to scoring....

 3.  Berry Lipman -- Very Berry
Crazy stuff from this mad mad German composer! Berry Lipman handled some
great kitschy soundtrack work in his day, but this set features his pop
instrumental tunes -- great peppy little numbers that would have fit right in
with the A&M catalog of the 60s and early 70s....

 4.  Berry Lipman Orchestra -- Coconuts Shower
A lovely little package of swinging German Easy tunes from the great Berry
Lipmann! The tracks mostly all have that swinging trumpet sound that was
Lipmann's trademark -- kind of a Teutonic Herb Albert groove, if you get what
we mean...

 5.  Berry Lipman Orchestra -- Orange Shower
Great groovy Germany grooves from the groovy Berry Lipmann! The set's kind of
a repackaging of tracks from other albums -- done up in a very nice die-cut
cardboard sleeve -- and it's got a tropical theme, filtered through Lipmann's
brass-heavy Economic Miracle easy sound....

 6.  Berry Lipman Singers -- Girls From Paramaribo
This mad selection of eazy tunes by German composer Berry Lipman represents
the exotic beach fantasies of the Economic Miracle crowd at full tilt. Lipman
takes the brassy 60s sound of American easy players like Herb Alpert, filters
them through the 70s sweeping easy sound of labels like MPS, or arrangers
like Horst Jankowsky -- and also adds in some ensemble vocals that are
somewhere in between the Singers Unlimited or the Jankowsky Singers....

>the infuriatingly catchy/silly "What's Happening" theme.

This is one of the things I disliked about the '70s.  There seemed to be
roughly four fellows getting work.  For example, ifyou wanted a Jazzy
soundtrack, call Tom Scott or Dave Grusin.  I never liked that theme and
the fact that this is the theme that they decided to use made me rather
angry when I was younger.  It seemed that I was in a veritable sinkhole of
bad TV themes.  Some exceptions were Switch and Dan August.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Love, Hate & Disco

Don't dismiss Broadway!!! Yes, that knighted gnome Webber is an insult to
the eardrums, but please don't throw out almost a century of songs from
Berlin, Kern, Rogers, Gershwin, Bernstein and Cole "I get no kick from
cocaine" Porter!!! Remember when the sailors went to the boar cermony on
Bali H'ai in the South Pacific film? A big boost to the 50's exotica
movement.

NewAge need not equal SewAge. Eno's ambient records, Manfred Eicher's
crystalline ECM jazz, the early stuff on the Hearts of Space label, some of
the cool west coast jazz, exotic improvisors Oregon, even the early Stephen
Halpern records, which were specifically designed for relaxation - many of
these were lumped into the new age category for marketing purposes -
originally this stuff was called space music, but that term and the music
was a bit too outre for general consumption, so we got "new age," the
instrumental equivalent of the singer/songwriter snoozes of the 70's. IMHO,
side one of Fripp and Eno's "Evening Star" is the shimmering aural
equivalent of the
Northern Lights, all of the above records were great makeout music, and I
love early Jackie Gleason with Bobby Hackett on "faraway cornet."

Percy Faith's disco version of "Hava Nagila" was on the first compilation
tape I made of my Incredibly Strange Music collection back in the '90s.
Origins of disco, who knows, but the big heavy beat shows up in 60's early
70's soul like Love is Here and Now You're Gone, Band of Gold, Na Na Hey
Hey, the Dell's "There Is," It's a Shame, etc. Maybe it was indeed Barry
White & Soul Train who gave us disco, I forget, I was a serious Deadhead
back
then, and they were doin country. Dance music has always been around, and
people needed an alternative to the crowded & expensive Bill Graham concert
venues, with
flashlights in your eyes and rude windbreaker goons saying "Hey you, you
can't stand there - or over there either!"  Coke and poppers hit the scene,
so the layabout acidheads suddenly needed to dance. Any old-timers remember
coke, the "non-addicting" drug? Anyway girls like to dance, and guys buy
lotsa drinks when girls are there, and a DJ is cheaper than a live band and
money talks and above all people want to go out somewhere and get laid or
whatever.

Meanwhile the gay subculture was breaking out bigtime - kids raised on rock
were bored by Bettie Davis impressions and and wanted to party and dance.
Sylvester
became a San Francisco star in the Cockettes, singing torch songs and
showtunes, preparing for his gospel-disco stardom. BTW, there is a
documentary on the Cockettes in production - what a scene that was in good
old San Francisco.  www.cockettes.com

OK, I'll shut up. I was gonna say I only hate Bette Midler, but then I
really like the song she does on the new Dan Hicks CD.

I don't know about creepy but this putting this CD on is certainly one of
the most profound experiences I've ever had as a music listener.  For the
first half hour I was bored and by the time the CD had ended, I thought
that I never wanted to hear anything else playing in my apartment.  Just
that CD over and over constantly repeating, constantly bubbling up in the
background.  It has all the advantages of muzak with none of the sour
aftertaste.
I think everyone should experience it twice, even if you never hear it again.

BILLY NICHOLLS   Portobello Road    on CD 'Would You Believe' Immediate,
Sequel Rec.    and
PHILWIT & PEGASUS   Elephant Song    LP Boot Comp 'Collecting Peppermint

I have The Most Beautiful Girls in the World by Berry Lipman and it is
awful bar the one Girls from Parimbo track - this one is an
instrumental.

Those LPs all sound interesting, especially the Star Maidens -- The Girl
From Space LP. Problem is, I wouldn't pay more than a few dollars for
each of these, except the Girl From Space LP and I haven't heard any of
them so can't pass on any wisdom.

But please buy some and let us know if we should go hunting.

Hi all -

There's another Tindersticks fan right here.  I originally got into them
through other sorts of dark music (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
specifically), but I'd have to agree, "Nennette" would probably do well with
some of you, as well as another track, "Rented Rooms".  Come to think of it
(more on a Bad Seeds tip), some of Barry Adamson's stuff would probably
appeal to some of the list.

I'm a big fan of spy and crime jazz and although I know that the soundtrack of
Danger: Diabolik hasn't been released on CD yet, I was wondering if anybody
has a) found it on DVD or b) seen the soundtrack on vinyl.

Also, I'd be interested in hearing opinions about the scores for some of the
more obscure Bond ripoff films that came out in the 60s...stuff like "Agent
For PANIC" and "Lightning Bolt". Sinister Cinema is a good source for VHS
copies of these little gems:

Have you always wanted those John Keating moog-y records such as Sounds
Galactic or Space Experience 1 and 2?
Don't bother.  They're not very good.  There's one good cut on the three
records, namely "I feel the Earth Move".  In fact, if there's anything
decent it's on Space Experience 1.  The rest of it is highly mediocre, not
very moogy and in general not worth craving.
I'm selling them but this is not a sales pitch.

There was never a soundtrack album for Danger: Diabolik; only the 'Deep
Down' theme was released as a single by Cristy. The film was released on
laser disc a few years ago, but is now out of print.

Wow, I had no idea the swat version by Ray Conniff had any kind of
reputation.  I have a sealed copy of that record, and I always assumed
it would be schmaltzy.  Don't know if I wanna crack it open though. Have
you heard of "TV's greatest Detective Hits" by the John Gregory
Orgchestra on Mercury? How does it compare with that?

Why not?  You holding out for the big "sealed Ray Conniff" market to
develop on ebay?  The version of SWAT on this record does not have a
reputation unless I've started one and you're continuing it.  On the other
hand, it's not schmaltzy except to the degree that any version of SWAT
would be schmaltzy.  He does the tune.  He doesn't slow it down or schmaltz
it up.
Better still are his versions of the themes for "Police Story" and "Mystery
Movie" but that's because those are better themes period.
The only one with any schmaltz-ratio is his version of the Baretta theme.
But that is already pretty schmaltzy.
If you want a better version of Baretta, try Lawrence Welk's.  Seriously.
And then there's Sammy Davis Jr's version.
But Sammy is much more impressive on "John Shaft" and his version of the
Hawaii Five Oh theme, called "You can count on me".
etc etc etc

Speaking of which -- there's a CD called "Extracted Celluloid" put out by
the folks who also released "Deconstructing Beck," and it's mostly unclea=
red
samples of movie tunes. Or something like that. In any case, there's a gr=
eat
track called "SingKingHeart" -- essentially a remix of that horrific Celi=
ne
Dion song from "Titanic" except that her voice is stretched and warped
(almost) beyond recognition, and it sounds like it's coming from the bott=
om
of the ocean amidst the cries of drowning people. There used to be a
downloadable mp3 from
http://www.detritus.net/illegalart/celluloid/notes.html, but now it's onl=
y a
real audio file.

i was just told be a reliable source that a boot mastered off of laserdisk
is floating around.
i just might do that myself since i found out a friend has it on laserdisk.
just watched it again last week.
i was told that there was NEVER a soundtrack album made of this flick.
i find this hard to believe, but afraid it might be true.
can anyone confirm or negate this?

Subject: (exotica) "Fantastica" new season webcast: Central European Time versus GMT

as i wrote earlier: "Fantastica" closes Tuesday's program schedule at
night on 01 hour Central European Time -- so that's actually Friday
01 am...

but how does CET relate to GMT?

currently, over here in Europe, we have Central European Summertime,
which is GMT+2. In the winter we are simply "Central European Time",
which is GMT+1 (currently, i don't know when the change from
Summertime to normal time will be made). so, Friday 01 am CET =
Thursday 23:00 hours or 11 pm.

That's disheartening to hear, but thanks for the info. Guess I'll go and plunk down
$10 for the VHS tape at Amazon.com...at least I'll get to hear the music in some
form that way. Although I've heard that they've remixed those wonderfully LOUD
guitar cues way down for this version.

[HA] I remember when Super VHS first came out and it was not only viewed as a
superior video format (settle down all you Beta geeks), but was also seen as a
high-quality recording device for music. And I used to think that an in-dash
8-track machine was bulky...

groovy go go covers of well known hits and superb originals with

Hi all;

I've noticed a very large amount of spam e-mail showing up in my inbox
lately (mostly get-rich-quick schemes, but some other stuff too), and
know some others on the list are also receiving these.  I'm just trying
to figure out if a lot of others on exotica are also getting these, or
if they've gotten our names from some other source. Anyone else gotten
this crap lately?
