Another Side of Les Baxter (MP3)

This is what ‘wikipedia’ had to say about Les Baxter:

‘Leslie Thompson "Les" Baxter (March 14, 1922 – January 15, 1996) was an American musician and composer. After becoming well known as an arranger and composer for swing bands in the 1940s, he developed his own style of world music-influenced easy listening music, known as exotica, during the 1950s and 1960s.
Like his counterparts Henry Mancini and Lalo Schifrin, Baxter worked in films in the 1960s and 1970s. He worked on movie scores for B-movie studio American International Pictures where he composed scores for Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe films and other horror and beach party films including House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Raven, Muscle Beach Party and Beach Blanket Bingo. He also composed a new score for the theatrical release of the 1970 horror film Cry of the Banshee after AIP rejected Wilfred Josephs original one. Howard W. Koch recalled that Baxter composed, orchestrated and recorded the entire score of The Yellow Tomahawk (1954) in a total of three hours for $5,000.
Baxter, alongside Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman, is celebrated as one of the progenitors of exotica music. In his 1996 appreciation for Wired magazine, writer David Toop wrote that Baxter "offered package tours in sound, selling tickets to sedentary tourists who wanted to stroll around some taboo emotions before lunch, view a pagan ceremony, go wild in the sun or conjure a demon, all without leaving home hi-fi comforts in the white suburbs."’

It is this other side of Les Baxter that I would like to present here.
I cannot deny that these are ‘not my rips’ – as I, like many others, have taken in the past, from others, what has been made freely available from easy listening lounge web sites elsewhere. It’s no excuse, I know, but in my book, it’s the sharing and spreading of good music that really counts.

(As I get them into Mega) What I will post is the following:

1951 – Les Baxter – Ritual Of The Savage
1954 – Les Baxter – Thinking Of You
1958 – Les Baxter – Continental
1960 – Les Baxter – The Sacred Idol
1962 – Les Baxter – Voices In Rhythm
1970 – Les Baxter – Que Mango
1969 – Les Baxter – Wild in the Streets (OST)

Obviously anything ‘Les Baxter’ is welcome from others – please add if you like, (as long as your link DOES NOt take anyone to Uploaded.net – on any thread of mine ‘uploaded.net’, as a host ‘sucks’, and is a definate no-no)
If anyone does want to add to this, please bear in mind that there is already a wealth of stuff already on this forum: below is just a few of what’s out there (still with live links, I think). Probably best not to tread on each other’s toes, probably best to check it out first.

Do you have Wild Guitars?

I honestly thought you asked because you didn’t have it.
I’ve actually found a ‘torrent’ called ‘four classic Les Baxter albums’ and getting it downloaded now.
It has ‘Wild Guitars’ with it, but you got there first.
Thanks for posting it.
It’s also got ‘South Pacific’, so when I get it downloaded then I can post that one.

Thanks again for Wild Guitars. Superb.

I don’t understand the meaning of this reply.
I thought that you asked because you didn’t have it.
When I asked "Do you have wild guitars," you replied "Of course." I knew that you meant, "Of course I have a copy," but answered back literally, as if you had a guitar that you were strumming wildly. That’s why I replied, "Not you…" It’s a joke that isn’t translating.

Hahaha!
You are right in both cases.
As a matter of fact I was strumming my guitar.

Just love your ‘wry humour.
Sure you aren’t really ‘a brit’ at heart?

On the contrary. Francois Truffaut once remarked, "British cinema is an oxymoron," and with the exception of Hitchcock – who did his greatest work on American soil – and Powell & Pressburger, he may have been right. The same goes for British humor which generally leaves me cold. I’m a fan of the Marx Brothers!

Thanks Scott for Don Tiare album – a rare addition. Never heard of the guy so put him in search and found a whole page review about the the album
http://www.ambientexotica.com/exorev334_dontiare_lesbaxter/

Here is just two snipits from the page:

“A merger of the talents of two geniuses of the sensuous and the exotic,” the liner notes boldly state, and yes, I do agree with this averment. Enter The Music Of Les Baxter, released in 1963 on Mercury Records and envisioned by Exotica oddball Don Tiare about whom next to nothing is known. I would love to see him rise in fame – after all, it has happened posthumously to Gene Rains as well – and enjoy digital reissues of his albums. The time is indeed nigh. Don Tiare is an arranger of string-heavy albums such as Strings Over Hawaii and Strings Over Tahiti (both released in 1963), but on The Music Of Les Baxter, he not only shows his skills in leading a quintessential quintet called the Orchestra Exotique, he also reveals his connections to one of Hollywood’s greatest composers of all times, said Les Baxter (1922–1996). ……..

There is no reason to not check out this gemstone. Chances are that the quality will blow you away severely. It could well be that this is the next album amid Exotica fans that is hailed as a magnificent emerald that remained under the radar for the wrong reasons. I hope it skyrockets, for it is splendid. "

It goes through the whole album in the review – for those interested it’s worth a read.

Again, many thanks Scott.
