Weird, but good. Music from the Exotica Mailing List

January 7, 2004 8:16 AM

Two Zombies Later..."Strange and unusual music from the Exotica Mailing List". Featuring Br. Cleve & His Lush Orchestra playing "Shaken Not Stirred", not to mention the mad stylings of Scotch & Soda covering Herb Albert's lovely "Lonely Bull" — with a tuba and optigan. I'd think "college radio" if it weren't so damn good. And I would probably not post it if the kind folks at Comfort Stand records hadn't been so kind as to have served up the entire two CD collection via lo-fi MP3s — a definite find. : ) [Via GoodExperience]

Cool. I'm downloading now. Those guys must have some amazing net connection, I'm maxing out my DSL.

Oh, and don't be put off by the phrase "lo-fi MP3s." They're 192kbps, hardly what I would call "lo-fi."

I apologize. I assumed the tracks were lo-fi, because I couldn't imagine putting up anything other than that... but you're right, they're great quality.

Can anyone see a way to buy the CDs? Or is it really a DIY job, supported by donations?

These are fabulous -- I've been listening to them for about a month, and tripping out on the sweetness of it all.

fantastic! silusGROK, I don't even see a way to donate, although the Internet Archive which is supplying the bandwith for downloads will take donations here via Amazon.

Hey TimeFactor... you can call me Silus.

The PayPal donation link is on the home page (scroll to the bottom).

And Katemonkey... thanks for not sharing the love — it's so rare that I find something link-worthy!
