Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from November 9, 2017 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

when I look at the marathon console – ok I don't understand how any of this actually works with any great confidence – but when I look at it, you definitely pledged more than 24 bucks. Might want to double check it

I'd say definitely but then Roger Roger and Nino Nardini show up and make a pretty good effort too... still, he's virtually uncontested in my book

though, I guess RR&NN have to team up to compete

i love all those guys, but y'know. Morricone.

I mean, geez, Morricone and Piccioni. High output + high quality

Hi Hyde! You were there first with Ennio

I love 'em too, but I picked my favorites and I meant it! But yeah, Ennio and Piccioni are pretty much god-like genius level great

SO funky
Avatar 8:26pm
hyde:

@LD ha. the Morricone thing is just superhuman--i honestly have no idea how he managed that output. it's just unreal to me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:29pm
Little Danny:

Superhuman, indeed. Morricone I think is the only composer who could keep up with the prolificacy (word?) of some of the top Bollywood composers
Avatar 8:30pm
Flash Strap:

it's astounding what he accomplished. he's incredible
Avatar 8:32pm
Flash Strap:

prolificacy! I was trying to remember how to conjugate prolific, that's it

i think it's actually profligacy

Thissa all very nice, though the last one was only left channel. I gotta plug in the little kitchen speakers for cooking accompaniment.

Will you hear my confession? Prompted by some discussion during Bodega Pop a couple weeks ago, I looked at Umiliani info, and then....then....I watched some portions of Svezia, Inferno E Paradiso. I did.

btw -- Watching something less infernal earlier this evening, Morricone was a Jeopardy answer.

How was it, b/p? like a Mondo doc, but more boring? or super sexy?

Flash Strap:

NGH! great to have you in the room!
Avatar 9:05pm
still b/p:

I'm not sure there's ANYthing super sexy in it, even when it lingers on what's supposed to be. It is weak doc style. I hopscotched and stopped to snicker at some silly bits. I do think viewing the full load of it would be trying, even with the period-flavor interest.
Avatar 9:20pm
Flash Strap:

Yeah, a lot of them are that way. La Ragazza Dalla Pelle di Luna sorta sucks too.

I think the first time I had that experience was when I finally got ahold of Vampyros Lesbos, which sort of like Argento but also not very good

there wasn't that much crossover from your old Umiliani comps either, which is amazing

haha Evan, well it's the friendliest treatment to the artists we like! ...though it's really okay by me that people influence each-other. i often notice though, and have to point it out - because i'm a geek; but also to give credit where credit's due.

@hyde, I think there's a decent amount of crossover with the comps, but very little with that early show I did here which was basically an abridged version of the comps
