Show 18: Audio Porn

Seems some listeners mistook the word “exotica” for “erotica” a few months back when I did a show on Swedish exotica band Bo Axelzon and his Orchestra. Maybe it was the the fact that “Swedish” preceded “exotica” that made some jump to the conclusion that I’d be playing porn music.

Well, for those who were hoping for it, here it is... Porn! Music from softcore and hardcore films... and a couple of pornographic-sounding songs that aren’t from film scores at all.


Song 1 : : Erotico
Artist : : John Zorn
Album : : The Big Gundown

An Ennio Morricone piece from the film The Burglars. Not porn but this John Zorn version sexes-up this already erotic song.

Song 2 : : La Prima Volta
Artist : : Andrea et Nicole
Album : : Erotheque

A strange one... Italian title and lyrics, French artists (?), from a Greek pressing of an LP that recently made the rounds of the sharity sites once again.

Song 3 : : Ravishing Marilyn
Artist : : ???
Album : : Sex-O-Rama

This is from the Marilyn Chambers porn classic Behind the Green Door. Not by the original studio musicians who appeared on the film soundtrack but by another group of studio musicians who re-recorded a bunch of vintage porn sounds for this Oglio Records compilation.

Song 4 : : Alternative Chicks
Artist : : Andy Prieboy
Album : : N/A

Got this off a bootleg video of one of Andy Prieboy’s live appearances at Largo in LA back in 1997. Prieboy, in addition to working in bands, as a solo artist, writing a musical and a book, has scored a couple of porn videos...
