Of most interest to the Exotica list is his album of Mickey Katz songs. Byron was involved in klezmer long before the recent mini-revival (playing in the Klezmer Conservatory Band and got a lot of flack for being black and playing that music. Seems like a strange response to me but then I lead a sheltered life. "Nu Blaxploitation" had a cool concept but apart from interesting moments really doesn't hold together. "Tuskegee Experiments" is a wonderful updating of Third Stream; "Music for Six Musicians" is a tad more jazz-oriented and I like it even better. The live album "No-Vibe Zone" is more extended jazz improv and quite good. I haven't heard his two newest ones but Byron does nice contributions to numerous other albums, including several from Uri Caine and Bobby Previte not to mention a ton of Downtowners from Arto Lindsay to Marc Ribot.

Subject: (exotica) Bowie Voted Biggest Influence In Music Poll
LONDON (Reuters) - Original "glam rocker" David Bowie has been
crowned the musician's musician.
Bowie beat the Beatles and alternative rockers Radiohead in a
survey that asked hundreds of top rock and pop stars to name their
biggest musical influence.
The year-long "Under the Influence" survey, conducted by British
weekly New Musical Express, put 52-year-old Bowie ahead of an
eclectic mix of groundbreaking rap, jazz, techno and rock artists.
Bowie, who stretched rock music's boundaries in the 1970s with
his hits "Space Oddity," "Changes" and "Suffragette City," has seen
his songs performed by many groups, including Nirvana and Oasis.
Among the musicians who voted -- several of them stars in their
own right -- were British groups Radiohead and Suede, Irish rockers
U2 and U.S. artist Marilyn Manson.
"Today there seems to be a lack of icons and rock stars in
general," said Manson. "When I grew up, there was David Bowie and
Iggy Pop -- people who had something to say and had quite an impact
on music and society," he said.
Radiohead came second in the poll, while the Beatles -- still
riding high around the world with their singles collection "1" --
were named the third most influential.
U2 lead singer Bono voted for Radiohead, a group who were called
"The Pink Floyd of the 1990s."
"I saw the new Radiohead show and it was beautiful, so beautiful,
perfect sound, beautiful songs. ... They've made some extraordinary
music and they can do what they like," he said.
The rest of the top 10 are: rap group Public Enemy, jazz great
Miles Davis, German techo group Kraftwerk, punk pioneers the Sex
Pistols, controversial rapper Eminem (news - web sites),
singer-songwriter Nick Drake and moody alternative band The Smiths.
Other big names on the list were Bob Dylan at number 16, Beck at
19 and Stevie Wonder, who was voted 11th most influential.
"I was brought up with a lot of Stevie Wonder," said Spice Girl
Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham. "I think he's brilliant. I've always
listened to him and I always will."
The full list of the 20 most influential artists will be

Supposedly there have never been soundtrack albums for either film. Is it possible that this was made directly from the film? "Days of Being Wild" is mostly Xavier Cugat but I've forgotten about "As Tears Go By."

kar-wai film. i believe it's "days of being wild" but it might also be "as

50s and 60s such as we discuss on this list
That's a coincidence. I just rented that last week and was thinking of
posting about it. Lots of mambo and cha cha. All sounded kinda familiar
and yet kinda generic. Probably came from old Tito Puente records but it
could have been almost anyone from that period. (Gee I'm helpful aren't I?)
Then there's this dream the main character keeps having and that's scored
with old Hawaiian music. I actually wouldn't mind knowing who did that.
But I didn't care enough to wait and look on the soundtrack. Then again,
maybe the credits wouldn't have had subtitles.
It's a strange film. (That's helpful too!)
I might rent it again. I can't remember how it ends. If I do rent it
again, I'll try to read the credits.
AZ, always too vague to be helpful

Subject: (exotica) Eden Ahbez - Eden's Island
Anybody familiar with this Exotica album of 1960? I've seen the cover
every once in a while, I think it's also in one of the Incredible
Strange Music books. Now, this album is reissued on vinyl and on CD,
apparently for 5 years now, but I got my copy just today. It's an
absolutely fantastic amazing Exotica highlight! It's Top Ten Exotica, if
you ask me. I heard there's a story going along with this guy, but I
can't remember having read it anywhere. On the cover he looks like
Jesus.
