Subject: (exotica) French Naming : 'les Tueurs de la Lune de Miel'

yes they did used the French name of the band in most published =
recordings.

=B0-=B0

by the way I'm still desperately looking for an LP made for children
 containing a long track made by Belgian 80's band named
 'les Tueurs de la Lune de Miel' or 'The Honeymoon Killers',
 the story for kids on that LP is French spoken but I do not
 remember the title.
 Could sommeone please help me to find that LP,
 big thanks in advance.

>Nice; did they really use that French name sometimes? Maybe records by =
"Les

Anyone heard the Gak Sato "Post-echo" album yet? Since some of you were talking about how Seksu Roba has some Tipsy style similarities (which I heartily agree with), this Gak Sato album some some very definite Tipsy-ish moments. I've had it on constant rotation for the past 2 weeks. Recommended! It's becoming a borderline obsession. In fact if I keep playing it so much, it might start to "wear out". Ha ha.

Subject: (exotica) My Martin Denny Faves CD-R Comp

In the just for fun category... this is the list of my favorite Martin
Denny tunes for a CDR I made for listening in the car. Note that I
purposely omitted any "oriental" songs as I'm going to put all of those
on a separate CD.  Also, I have avoided some tunes ("Swamp Fire",
"Jungle Madness", "Quiet Village Moog") which I would have put on if I
was trying to create a "historical" retrospective - but they just aren't
on my favorites (they'll probably make volume 2).

This was compiled from various CD resources, most notably the Scamp and
UL releases (hence some of the UL specific "double" tracks). Feel free
to comment, of course, or add your own list.  The next big project
(after I do the Oriental Martin Denny, and a Faves disc for Arthur
Lyman) will be an exotica favorites -- so I can mix things up, include
Chaino and Drasnin, etc.

1. Quiet Village (mono)
2. Love Dance (Mono)
3. Similau (Mono)
4. When First I Love
5. Manila
6. Jungle Drums
7. Oro (God Of Vengeance)
8. Llama Serenade (Peruvian Llama Song)
9. Hava Nagila - Scimitar
10. Caravan
11. Jungle River Boat
12. Coronation
13. The Girlfriend Of The Whirling Dervish
14. Trade Winds
15. The Young Savages
16. On Green Dolphin's Street- Hernando's Hideaway
17. Primitiva
18. Voodoo Dreams
19. Simba
20. Aku Aku
21. Hypnotique (original album version)
22. Cubano Chant (oops, this one out of order, should have been before Hypnotique)
23. Taboo
24. Exotica - Voodoo Love
25. Tiki - Quiet Village (Stereo)

I was asking myself the same question. Alexander from Radio Karthoum just sent
me his fine new 80 mm CDs, the Hepburns and a compilation, which fit into the
same category. "Harmony Pop" seems to be a fairly good term, although Pop
would insinuate, that this music is somewhat very successful and in the
charts,  which it isn't. I used to call such music "Melody Rock", but I heard,
this it is used in a different context. When I asked, Alexander was surprised
that I didn't consider his music Exotica; to him Exotica had a much wider
meaning. The Pearlfishers are on Marina and so the Exotica context is not that
far. In Germany this music would most likely be filed under "Indie", a term
that isn't used anywhere else, as far as I know. I think, stuff like the
Pearlfishers and High Llamas have a good home on the Pop Nouveau list. These
bands sort of prove the connection between Punk/Wave and Easy Listening. Just
look at the history of the british band XTC and you know what I mean.

Subject: (exotica) Japanese animation soundtracks

It can vary in both style and quality (like every other genre); some of it is
pure bliss (mainly the opening/closing songs), some of it is mersh crap.
Some other good anime movies/series with good music include Ranma 1/2,
Kimagure Orange Road, Perfect Blue, & Neon Genesis Evangelion (which features
"Fly Me To The Moon" in its ending credits) though if you're expecting jazzy
soundtracks Cowboy Bebop stylee you might be disappointed.

The Anime Turnpike would probably be a good place to sample what's out there:

http://www.anipike.com/music.html

You can also check out some of the other links on the site for more sound
samples.

The only downside is that most anime soundtracks (with a few exceptions such
as Ranma) are mainly available as Japanese imports, at Japanese import
prices.  If you live near a Chinatown though, you might be able to find
cheaper knockoff "SM" versions.  (There's a Best of Anime CD put out by Rhino
that's not bad - the original version of the Gigantor theme! Yay! - but it's
probably not the best place to start)

IMHO

one of the wackiest, trippiest exotica records ever. I dont know what  they
were smokin' over there in France. Its like martin denny thrown into a
blender, complete with hilarious, and obviously fake, birdcalls, screaming
voices and quacking duck sounds. Pure comedy.  Its a must have record, but
there are cd boots of it floating around paired with markko Polo-Orienta.
But if you want the vinyl, I would bid, cause you rarely see that one in the
flesh.

Subject: (exotica) Les and Nat

I'm sure i read recently that Les Baxter did some arranging for Nat King
Cole in the 40's/50's, and was held by some to be responsible for his
decline into MoR'dom.  I wondered if anyone knew much about this.
The reason I ask was that at the weekend I was listening to one of my dad's
cheap tapes, surprisingly enough a NKC compilation, and among the tracks I
didn't recognise was one, Can't for the life of me remember what it was
called, that just screamed LES BAXTER! in big block capitals.  Bongos,
strings playing odd parts, the whole thing drowned in reverb.  It really had
all the mans trademarks.  Obviously there was no real information on the
sleeve.  It was barely legible as it was.
But how much recording did they do together? Am I completely
mis-remembering? Hope I'm not starting a false rumour here.....

Do any of you UK-based listees know what the record used on the Holiday

Sunday evening's Holiday programme (BBC1) was the USA special.

Hi Peter
You know that makes sense since Burroughs was such a hero for
Bangs.  Bangs admited the two words were put together before him,
ex. Born To Be Wild, but he claimed to be the first to use it to
describe a type of music.

slop. A Web search got me lots of listings on Bollywood related sites, but I
couldn't even find a review by Roger Ebert!

What is this movie, and how in the world did it find it's way to a
16-screen, stadium-seating theater in suburban St. Paul, MN?

Speaking of wide and narrow definitions of exotica, Moritz have you heard
this "Pagan Schmaltz" CD I saw yesterday?  By Toronto's own Gordon Monaghan
and Gordon W and someone else... under the name "Fuzzy Love".  I assume
they're still in Germany so I assume you've heard it.  It's got tikis on
the cover.  How come you haven't told us about it?

i have had this one for awhile.
i was a bit dissapointed in it as i love most of his Remixes on various

it feels too "clubby" to me. not enough exotica.
i have never played it in any of my dj sets.

I'm too lazy to check the exotica archives myself, but I am almost certain I
did.
(Boo hoo, nobody reads my posts, my important, my funny, my beautiful posts)

As a matter of fact, I didn't like that CD very much. The fun and excitement,
that you get when you see them playing live - John Jones is an extremely
charismatic and entertaining guy - is not transmitted on the live soundtrack.
I don't know what went wrong, but I never liked live records too much anyway.
BTW, this CD is a self-burnt self-xeroxed deliver-on-demand production.

<< How rare is Tropical Fantasy??

 It's up for bid - sounds like a good record. >>

oh, it's a good record alright.  don't even hesitate, not for a minute.  i
just checked ebay for it and don't see it, so now you have my curiousity up
for where it is.

You may want to tell me (us) AFTER the bidding is over, if ya know what I
mean ;)

Of course, we'll both most likely need to shell out good money to get it.
Highly desirable it often breaks into three figures, I've seen it go for
$217. A buddy was thrilled to get one on ebay for $66.

But you never know, you may sneak in there and snatch it for next to nothing
during a lull in people's attention.  Afterall, its hard to keep an eye on
everything.

bookmark the page and keep an eye on it Nate, then make your move.  you won't
get many chances!

Winston Grennan, Jamaican Drummer, Is Dead at 56
By JON PARELES,NYTimes
Winston Grennan, a Jamaican drummer whose extensive studio work crystallized
and disseminated the fundamental reggae rhythm called one drop, died on Oct.
27 in Nantucket, Mass., where he had moved this year. He was 56.=20

The cause was lung and bone cancer, said his wife, Ellie Hiteshew Grennan.

The one-drop rhythm is a sparse, unhurried beat with a bass-drum accent =97
the one drop =97 on the third beat. Understated, distinctive and supremely
adaptable, it has made its way into music around the world.=20

Working with recording-studio bands in Jamaica, Mr. Grennan perfected the
one-drop beat, and he appeared on important recordings, including the
soundtrack to the 1973 film "The Harder They Come," early Bob Marley singles
and Paul Simon's reggae-style hit "Mother and Child Reunion."=20

Mr. Grennan started playing homemade drums and pots and pans as a child. As
a teenager he recorded and performed as a singer under the name Winston
Richards; he also played keyboards with Bobby Aitken and the Caribbeats.=20

He had a string of 30 undefeated bouts as a boxer in the early 1960's, and
used some of the prize money to buy a full-fledged drum kit. As his
reputation spread, he became a session drummer in Jamaica's leading
recording studios.=20

Mr. Grennan notched down the speed of rock steady with the one- drop rhythm,
which became established as the core of reggae, and he was an influence on
leading reggae drummers, including Carlton Barrett of the Wailers and Sly
Dunbar.=20

Working with leading Jamaican producers like Bunny Lee, Winston Riley,
Prince Buster, Leslie Kong, Byron Lee, Lee Perry and Coxsone Dodd, he
recorded hundreds of songs from 1963 to 1973 at a time when Jamaican ska was
giving way to the leaner, more steadfast rhythms of rock steady and reggae.
His extensive recordings with Toots and the Maytals included the 1973 album
"Funky Kingston" and the 1968 single "Do the Reggay," the first song to have
the word that would later be spelled "reggae" in its title. He also recorded
with the Bob Marley, the Melodians, the Heptones, Desmond Dekker and dozens
of other singers and groups. He appeared in "The Harder They Come."=20

In the early 1970's Mr. Grennan performed with Dizzy Gillespie at the
National Arena in Kingston and appeared on Paul Simon's 1972 solo album,
"Paul Simon." He left Jamaica in 1973 for the United States, hoping to play
jazz and broaden his music; Mr. Gillespie hired him soon after he arrived.
Mr. Grennan lived in New York City, Florida and New Jersey before settling
in Woodstock, N.Y., in the early 1980's.=20

In the United States, Mr. Grennan led his own groups playing jazz and
reggae, and he continued to work as a sideman. He was a founding member of
Kid Creole and the Coconuts, and he played jazz, reggae and rhythm-and-blues
with musicians, among them Marvin Gaye, Herbie Hancock, Garland Jeffreys,
Freddie Hubbard, Minnie Riperton and Eric Gale.

He performed with Mr. Gillespie at the Montreux Jazz Festival and backed up
Toots and the Maytals on the album "Skafather," which was nominated for a
1998 Grammy. The government of Jamaica awarded him a Certificate of
Appreciation for his contribution to the development of popular music. Mr.
Grennan released his fifth album, "Clean Slate," with his Ska Rocks band in
March.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by 11 children


Winston Grennan; Innovative Jamaican Drummer, Songwriter (LA Times)

     Winston Grennan, 56, an innovative drummer known as the inventor of the
"one-drop" reggae rhythm and an original member of the influential group
Toots and the Maytals. Born in Jamaica to a musical family--his mother,
grandfather, grandmother and many uncles played in local bands--Grennan
started playing homemade drums as a child. After a brief and successful
career as a professional boxer, he turned to music and became a popular
session drummer for Studio One, Treasure Isle and Island Records in Jamaica.
Grennan played for hundreds of classic reggae hits by such artists as Bob
Marley ("Rock My Boat," "Satisfy My Soul," "Concrete Jungle"), Jimmy Cliff
("Many Rivers to Cross," "The Harder They Come") and Carl Dawkins ("Baby I
Love You"). Grennan was a prolific composer, and his "Savior" was featured
on the soundtrack of the film "9 1/2 Weeks." He also performed with pop and
jazz artists such as Paul Simon, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Aretha
Franklin and the Rolling Stones. Since the late 1980s, he had performed with
his Ska Rocks Band, playing American popular music combined with Caribbean
rhythms. The "one-drop" rhythm, as described in the New York Times obituary
on Grennan, "is a sparse, unhurried beat with a bass-drum accent--the one
drop--on the third beat." On Oct. 27 in Nantucket, Mass., of cancer.=20

L. Sprague de Camp, one of the last surviving science fiction
writers from the "golden age of science fiction," has died just
shy of his 93rd birthday.

He wrote Lest Darkness Falls and a number of Conan books.=20
