C'est Magnifique

Boot Sale Sounds has one of those incredibly loopy clangy percussion extravaganzas that you either love or loathe. He apparently loathed it because it's not even separated into cuts, it's all just one side of the record. I chopped it apart with a pair of dull left-handed scissors and offer one of the tunes below.

C'est Magnifique - Skip Martin

Xylophonia

Harry Breuer, booze, miles of mallets ... g'night.

"Mallets Alla Zurke" / "Flight of the Bumblebee"

Janko Nilovic goes voodoo

" Janko Nilovic is one of these extremely productive musicians. He was especially hyperactive in 60s and 70s and it is almost impossible to gutter all the information about his recordings. He says that he has recorded at least 150 singles and maybe even twice that figure. He has recorded also under following pseudonymous: ALAN BLACKWELL, EMILIANO ORTI, JOHNY MONTEVIDEO, ANDY LOORE, HEINZ KUBE, BILL MAYER, ENNIO MORANDI, PHILIPPE GRAY, THE TEXAS TRAVELLERS and probably some more. He is still very active and composing in all the styles as he used to (clasical, pop, jazz, funk...). " From Janko Nilovic official webpage.

Now you can listen to 3 Janko's VERY RARE 7' records, under the alias "Voodoo Ju Ju". Thanks to the original "diggers/rippers/uploaders" Dj Alfonso and Christian Aubrun

Music to Break Any Mood

It didn't break MY mood, but I was in the mood to hear some good tunes. Damn, I wish I could play the xylophone!

From Your Father's Den :
Tortilla - Dick Schory

The Lavender Jungle

The always interesting Music for Maniacs has this 33-track wild and groovy exotica comp. for you to scare the hell outta the neighbors with. Watch them scurry to the other side of the street when they find out it's your place the devil-music emanates from. Now, isn't it nice to have the sidewalk all to yourself.


La Lupe - Fever

Dar-RUT-da-DAH-dah

Perhaps you think that I have been posting too many "doo-bee-doo-bee" choral records lately. Well today's is entirely different, this one's full of doo-rut-doo-dah-dahs, so there. The entire chorus and percussion section seems to be afflicted with some kind of intestinal worms or something, they seem to be wandering back and forth obsessively between the right and left channel. A double dose of Vermox should fix them all right up so they can sit still for a while.

Surrey with the Fringe on Top:

Ahead of HAIR

"... We start with silence. Or in this case, lots of crackle. Tune-In takes a while to get going, a sedate electronic piece thats lasts for over six minutes before a jumpy Aquarius (with the sound of crickets) comes to life. Donna on a vibraphone. Percussive genius while the brief Hashish slides by on a cacaphony of brass and busy background sounds. The title track never sounded as edgy with I Got Life pop-popping along like Frank Barber on acid. Wonderfully beautiful trombone blast here. Frank Mills benefits from no vocals - just as wistful without. Hare Krishna swings out side one with blinding intensity and glockenspiel goodness. ..."

Bells are Ringing

No, it's not a flare-up of tinnitus, every tune you hear on Sid Bass' With Bells On is actually infused with chimes, glockenspiels, gongs, and every other sort of clanging instrument you can imagine.

If I were a peppy radio DJ I'd say "Bells are ringing? No, more like Bells are SWINGING". But I'm not, so I won't.

Percussion in Hi-Fi

Fun fact: Composer/arranger David Carroll's real name was Nook Schreier. OK, maybe it's NOT so fun...but his 1956 album Percussion in Hi-Fi is. Find it here.

Mallet Magic

OK surly person....you look as though you could use a little musical pick-me-up, and I have just the album. It's a swell collection of novelty marimba numbers recorded in 1957 by Harry Breuer and his Quintet. You can get a taste of the album below, and download the whole thing here.
