i have already sent out a note to the person who is selling
that interesting compilation, and will subsequently order the cd..not
just because i'm collektor skumm {albeit, twee skumm} but because it
does sound like a rather nifty li'l comp. since pd-m is listed, i would
imagine dhnia is yet another off the beaten path "side group" of warren's
or his friend's.

Subject: ???: Ambient [something] Vol. 4
This is a very stupid question, I know, and I've seen a hundred threads
on this disc, but I can't for the life of me find the exact name of the
disc anywhere and I'm not sure if I should order it or not. This is the
disc with a new Seefeel song on it which was not on Fracture, plus a new
Aphex Twin song, I think. I thought this was A Brief History of Ambient
Vol. 4 but when I asked at ear-rational if it was coming out in the US,
the guy (Dave?) told me *none* of them had come out domestically, so
since I have Vols. 1 et 2 US domestic, it must be something else. What,
then? What in hell is the CD I want, and is it coming out in the US or
not? Someone please help. :)
Sorry to those of you on both 4AD Hell and the Ambient list.

Well, I worked in a record store that sold promos like crazy (all the
ones we got in, anyway). I agree about buying the regular releases
too... I loved promos. One day, I realised that all my fave-fave bands
weren't getting any of my ke$h. I wasn't doing anything to support them,
yet I sucked the fun right out of 'em still. So now I stay away from
promos unless (1) [otherwise] unreleased material (2) I don't know if I
*want* to give the band my money (3) I plan on shelving the commercial
release (shrine) and using the promo for play...
However... as for -if you buy promos the record store won't be able to
play them anyway...- I don't jive with that. In my experience, the
record store didn't *want* to play the stuff anyway, so it put 'em out
for sale. It's not really diminishing the exposure a band gets...

yepper. dead his name is alive *is* his name is alive.

want to grab that comp. like i basically wrote in the
discog. about princess dragon-mom : STAY AWAY FROM IT!
you'll hate it. screechy guitar noise, good for playing
really loud when you're really irked about something and

"The Moon and the Melodies" was HARDLY overlooked. I think everyone here
basically takes it for granted when someone asks "What have Cocteau Twins
done outside their own band proper?" that TMaTM is automatically included.
Most people look at it as a Cocteau Twins record anyway, in spite of its
delineation.

Hey Brendon!
I took a look at your home page. It's great! I especially liked your frank
description of yourself and how you came to be involved with music the way
you are. The Web pages I've seen tend to be very cold and lack any kind of
humanity. Yours is a welcome change.
I'm looking forward to your continuing Dreampop. Let me know when you've
added more.

Hi Jan:
Hey thanks for the kind words. Hopefully the rest of it will be up by the
end of November.
I am a grad student at NYU...busy with final projects now.
Could you tell me what clark.net is?

Well, first of all, let me state that I am one of the hugest Lisa Gerrard
fans on the planet, and I would agree that she is my favourite part of Dead
Can Dance.
However, I am GLAD that "American Dreaming" is being presented from that
album. It is, I think, one of the best songs on there, and certainly more
likely to get mass exposure than "Cantara," which is my other contender for
best song on the record. "American Dreaming" is very pretty, and while
different from other DCD stuff, I think it's a good introduction to the
band. All of the Lisa G. songs on _Towards the Within_ do not have much
commercial potential, I'm afraid, even though I may love them. She only
sings in English on one song, and that's a big matter to the U.S.
I, for one, would LOVE to see DCD become successful in the mainstream. If
anyone deserves it, it's them.

Yeah, the drumming is really neat - almost reminds me of steel drums. I wish
they used guitar more, too, and the later stuff has even less guitar. I'm not
sure about "Gash" though, which is the only thing I haven't heard. As for the
Moonshake comparison, do you have the "Big Good Angel" ep? One of Dave's songs
on there reminds me a bit of Pram in the opening. The comprison stops once he
starts singing, though.

wow! i haven't seen any thing in the states about this piece of unbelievable
tyranny... only in the brit mags 24seven and Select. i know if alot of people
here in the staes knew, they would be *quite* full of protest!
i saw a performance piece by nigel roth of therapy? cover art fame (last album)
that dealt with religon and violence. it was probably the most moving piece of
art i have ever seen! It was an amazing chance to see an international artist
in front of an audience of about 100. very powerful stuff. He talked to a few
of us aterwards, and mentioned that this justice bill concerned him as far as
the violence part went. He's english, but he's lived in Ireland for the past
twenty years or so, so part of the piece's source was the atmosphere in his
home country. This was just the coolest thing...I know that it's not 4AD but
those who like such beauteous music, i think those would thrive in such an
inspiring experience. watch for nigel roth.
