>yet, but have heard some other pieces, all of which were good.
Okay, speaking of all things "a go go" and things that come in multiple
volumes, can someone tell me if one of the volumes of this new "Blow Up"
series is better than the other? I heard some of it in a store and it was
the best thing of its kind I'd ever heard but I didn't realize there were
other volumes so I don't know which one I heard.
I'd buy myself one for a Chanukah present but I have to at least try to
choose the right one.

Subject: (exotica) Coffin Joe
Hello All,
Talk of the Mexican Horror films prompted me to think of my ALL TIME
favorite import films by "Coffin Joe".
Like "Autopsy of a Ghost" (which I would love to see) the language barrier
prevents me from understanding the dialogue but it doesn't matter. The
scenes are intense, in color and completely surreal. Start out with either
"At Midnight I'll Steal your Soul" or "Hallucinations of a Deranged Mind".
What a title!!!!
Happy Holidays All,
Jeff

"Formation 60" is a "real" jazz album, much less "loungy" than those A-gogo
CDs. Even "Karavane" by Theo Schumann Combo isn't a cover version of "Caravan"
but a generic composition of Theo Schumann himself and absolutely jazz. This
compilation is also an interesting insight into the music scene of the former
GDR, giving you a totally different impression of a socialist country than the
(western) propaganda image of singing Young Pioneers and folk groups singing
"along" for world peace, that dominated our view of the east at that time.

I would tend to recommend Danger Girl over Jungle Girl. The thing with QDK is that they had this Betty Page fixation. They're interesting for the photos, which is how I gave my copy of Danger Girl away to a Page fan I know. Danger Girl is more crime jazz oriented. Jungle Girl is sort of like they still had a bunch of crime jazz tracks left over from Danger Girl, in more of a Latin style, so they threw them on it, and then filled up the rest of the CD with a bunch of other Latin tracks. Lots of mambos and such. Musicians like Nino Nardini, Johnny Hawksworth, John Cacavas, John Barry, and so on. They're interesting but for this label the Electronic Toys records are probably more worth the money.

The Modern Jazz Quartet...
they had a distinctive piano, vibes, bass, drums lineup. My favourite is
'Space' (on Apple, 68?) which is very listenable. They cover one
movement from Rodrigo's guitar concerto, which is always nice. Some of
their other stuff, although very gentle and smooth, can be a little
heavy-going if you're not in exactly the right mood. If you are though,
it's all wonderful...

For all those who enjoyed "The Later Lounge" CD, given away free with Later
Magazine early this year, you'll be pleased to know the new issue is out now
with "The Later Lounge 2."
This one contains 21 songs, including stuff from the "Sound Spectrum,"
"Blow-Up!" and "Le Jazzbeat" compilations, among other artists. Haven't
listened to it yet, but it looks like fun, the last one was great and it's a
wise investment for only $6.95.
Check your local Borders or B&N.

Good one, thanks.
And don't forget another studio's wrestler/superhero, Neutron. He's no
Santo, but Neutron movies are fun and always include a song or two. I
recall one having a very complicated plot involving transmigration of souls
and other strangeness. I get the impression that unlike Santo and his gang
(Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras, etc), Neutron was just an actor playing a part
- -- no real-life wrestling career.
And of course, from Europe (Italy? Spain?) there's Superargo.
A choice non-wrestler Mexican flick is "La Nave de los Monstruos" ("Ship of
the Monsters", 1960). Two space women and a robot land their monster-laden
rocketship in the Mexican countryside and get involved with a singing
cowboy who reminds me of Ernie Kovacs. Songs, dancing and good ol'
fashioned monster fighting.
Or "Munecas Infernales" ("The Curse Of The Doll People", 1960). A voodoo
revenge story with genuinely creepy shrunken zombies sent out on murder
missions. Featuring a surprisingly (considering the era) strong and smart
female heroine. Of course, in that vein there's also Las Luchadoras and
their film series.
Or, or, or... must stop.

I picked up a VHS copy of "Superargo Vs. the Faceless Giants" several years
ago. It's a very cartoonish Italian action film in the vein of "Danger:
Diabolik". Superargo doesn't do much wrestling, but he does practice levitation
with his own personal swami and battles a bunch of robotized zombies who are
neither faceless, nor giants. His bulletproof leotards get him out of several
sticky situations as I recall.
Damn you, m. ace! Now I've got an irresistible urge to go down to my basement
television laboratory and watch this turkey again. Mebbe if I play Brave
Combo's Christmas CD one more time, the incessant polka rhythms of "Must Be
Santa" will cause this unholy desire to depart from me...
