its the first this moral coil release.
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 1994 01:16:33 -0500
In addition to the usual suspects (Codeine, Red House Painters, Idaho, Low,
and all the other slo-roq favorites) don't forget to throw in the first
coupla Cowboy Junkies albums (a friend of mine called it "music to shoot up to"
and I didn't doubt him for a minute) and a handful of Madder Rose tunes.
Nick Drake also makes quite a companion for those downcast days (the four days
of "The Great Texas Flood of '94" were spent with the _Way to Blue_ comp on
repeat play), although on the other hand listening to Come while it's raining
makes me want to hang myself.
And if yr in the cigarettes and southern comfort mode, try the Tindersticks
(and by the same token, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen?).
$0.02, or whatever the local exchange rates will give ya, and sorry, no refunds.

I read in my Saturday's newspaper that Tanya is going to record an album
in French. For that, she requested the assistance of Jean-Louis Murat, a French
songwriter that she considers as being the best at the moment (I personnally don
t
share her opinion, but many people do).
You may have a little chance to know Murat if you bought the tribute album to Le
nard
Cohen (I'm Your Fan). He was the only French singer to participate to it, with a
(good)
cover of the old man (in French).

Yesterday I bought a Spanish magazine, called Rock De Luxe, which offers an Indi
compilation CD for its 10th anniversary.
Among the 19 songs it includes, several ones are by 4AD artists: Lisa Germano,
ale
Saints, Breeders. Nothing special, except that the Breeders' song Head To Toe, i
claimed
to appear for the first time on a CD.
I know that the original ep is on 10" format, but isn't there any CD including t
is track
anywhere?
Just curious...

By far the most depressing/depression music I have is by SPK, the
title is (I think - but Im old and the memory aint wot it used to be)
System Unit Overload. Its a very cold, dark album which kind of
captivates/forces you to listen, but you're glad its over when it
finishes. Listening to it on headphones can be a disturbing
experience,at best it makes you feel depressed, at worst, it might
make you want to kill something/someone..its that powerful.
Quite a few years back, there was a small discussion of early SPK on
Digital Notes and my memory recalls the following (supposedly from a
reliable source) :
SPK was a combination of a musician/nurse who worked nights in a
mental institution in Germany and a very disturbed patient/inmate who
had night terrors caused by the 'noises in his head'. The musician
cultured a friendship with the inmate, as he was interested in what it
was that made this patient scream, bang his head agaist the wall etc
in a frightening and violent manner. The musician tried to get a
description of those noises and created sounds to simulate them of
which at least one album was made. I cant vouch for this, but even if
it is b/s, its still a good story...
I dont know if you sometimes can feel/hear your pulse at your temple,
and how annoying/distracting/disturbing it can be, well this is what
that album sounds like.
Anyway back to lighter things... It has been mentioned more than once
on 4AD-l that The Glee Club are CT soundalikes/wannabe's. On the
strength of this I bought 'Mine', and would ask if anyone can give me
specific tracks on Mine which is a copy of a CT track I'd be
interested to hear. IMHO, Swallow are more CT-ish that the Glee Club
by a long margin, I like Swallow, and their last EP (Hush)was really
good.
Thanks to whoever it was that desribed Scorn as a cross between
Seefeel and Kraftwerk. I bought Evandescance (sure Ive spelt this
wrong), and its been the only thing that Ive purchased
recently(including new ones from cranes, cranberries, Laika, Towards
the Within, Mouse on Mars,Anatomy of a Poet) that has broken the
monopoly that Heavenly Voices has on my hi-fi at present. Has anyone
managed to get any response from Hyperium ?? Does anyone have a
catalogue or list of artists available from them ??
Sorry this post is so long, and getting in the way of all those smart
ass one-liner posts that you all love.
Everything, except the stuff I like, Sucks !!
cheers

Hey, all. 2 questions:
1. Is Unrest's "Teenage Suicide" related at all to the song of the same
name (and at least one common lyric) from the movie "Heathers"? I can't
find anything in the Isabel Bishop liner notes to indicate either way.
2. I just stumbled across a promo single for the Boo Radleys "Lazy Day",
and I really like it ("Lazy Day", "Vegas", "Feels Like Tomorrow", and
"Whiplashed"). What else do they have out? How does it compare (both in
quality and musical style)?
Okay, so that's 3 questions. Regardless, any info greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

Graeme Revell, the main force behind SPK, also does a lot of film
soundtracks. My favorite is the one for _Dead Calm,_ a very creepy film
that I just watched yesterday. He also did the score for _The Crow._

HEY,
Hearts of Space is a kick ass program that I never miss. Steven Hill selects
some great music!! I'll post some of their playlists and let you see for your
selves!!
As for a depressing album, try Michael Danna's "Skys." This album was inspired
by the vast, cold, grey Canadian skies that blanket the land during the lonley
winter months!!!

Why don't you try stuff like this:
Rose Chronicles (Shiver)
the Moon seven times (7=49)
Slow dive (souvlaki)
the Cranes (maybe a bit heavy...but you never know)
Sarah McLaghlan (fumbling towards ecstacy)
and with risking a lot a negative responses: Tori Amos stuff, Heather Nova
(blow).

by far "just for a day"... by slowdive, not necesarily
cute in my opinion, but rather, beautiful...
its what i go to sleep to all the time...(since it came out)
blue day is excellent also, but i just got that (thanks brian)...
hope that helps... slowdive is my hands-down choice...
(except for souvlaki, for sleep anyway)

LESTAT ARE ONE HELL OF A BAND ON DISC, BUT WHEN THEY PLAY LIVE THEY REWRITE
THE BOOK OF LIVE PERFORMANCES. WITH TWO ALBUMS ALREADY UNDER THEIR BELTS,
AND THE RELEASE OF THEIR THIRD, "VISION OF SORROWS," SATURDAY NIGHT, THEY
CAN EASILY FIT INTO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HISTORIC GOTH BANDS, AND THEY HAVE
NOT EVEN REACHED THE PINICAL OF THEIR CAREER YET.
THE SHOW STARTED AT 9:OOPM SHARP, WITH LESTAT'S LABEL MATES, BATH. THEY WERE
A REAL SHOW OF WHAT NOT TO BE IF YOU FORM A BAND. PIGEONHOLED AS INDUSTRIAL,
THEY WERE THE BIGGEST SKINNY PUPPY RIP OFF I'VE EVER HEARD.
AFTER 49 MINUTES OF TORTURE, THE NEXT OPENING ACT TOOK TO THE STAGE, I HAD
HOPED THAT THIS BAND, FRAGMENT, WOULD PROVE MORE INTERTAINING AND SOOTHING TO
THE EARS, WITH A 24" MAGNAVOX TELEVISION ON THE STAGE AND THE JAPANEESE
ANIMATED FILM AKIRA PLAYING, WHICH PROVED MORE ENTERTAINING, FRAGMENT TOOK TO
THE STAGE. NOW THIS IS ONE BAND THAT DOES NOT CONSIDER IMAGE AN IMPORTANT ASPECT
F THEIR STAGE APPEARANCE. THE LEAD VOCALIST, WHO LOOKED LIKE THE BIGGEST
REDNECK, I'VE EVER SEEN WAS DRESSED IN JEANS OPEN LACE HIGHTOPS, BLACK MUSCLE
SHIRT, JOHN DEER BALLCAP AND HAIR DOWN TO HIS ASS. NOW THE STRANGE THING IS
THAT THIS WAS A BAND THAT CLASSIFIED THEMSELVES AS INDUSTRIAL/GOTH. PLEASE!!!
THEY TORTURED THE CROWD TO NO END FOR WELL OVER 40 MINUTES, WITH I WANT TO
OGRE SO BAD IT HURTS, LYRICS, AND VOICE.
FINALLY, AT 11:15 LESTAT TOOK TO THE STAGE IN FONT OF CROWD OF 1000+ SCREAMING
FANS. THE STAGE WAS COVERED IN FOG AND PURPLE LIGHTS. FOUR HUGE DORIC COLOMNS
AND BLACK DRAPERY WERE AN IMPRESSIVE STAGE SETTING AS THEY OPENED WITH A NEW
TRACK, "BAPTISM." THEIR SET CONSISTED OF A WIDE SELECTION OF SONGS FROM ALL
THEIR ALBUMS WITH NO EMPHISIS ON ANY ONE IN PARTICULAR. RAZZ, THE VOCALIST,
SWOONED ALL OVER THE STAGE VERY DRAMATICLY IN WHAT I FEEL IS THE BEST
COORIEGRAPHED STAGE PERFORMANCE I HAVE SEEN IN A BAND IN QUITE A WHILE. THE
LIGHTS ALSO PLAYED A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE VISUAL EFFECTS THAT HELPED
SUPPORT THE SHOW. IMAGES OF COBWEBS AND SPRIAL THINGS WERE PROJECTED ONTO THE
WALLS AND ADDED TO THE DRAMATIC EFFECT.
LESTAT VERY SELDOM PLAYOUT, BUT WHEN THEY DO, THEY GO ALL OUT TO GIVE THE FANS
THEIR MONEY'S WORTH, AND MAKE IT ALL WORTH WILE.
jOHN, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, BUT I GUESS WEEZER IS MORE IMPORTANT!!

How about Jane Siberry's most recent - When I was a Boy? The song Vigil
is pretty depressing. Actually, this disc works as a suggestion for
depressing and for bedtime music.
I must admit, though, and this will probably seem silly to many of you,
when I need a depressing, gotta-cry song, I go way back to the song that
worked best for me in my pre-teen years - Supertramp's "Lord, Is it Mine?".

Elliot Goldenthal. Previously available work: Pet Sematary, Alien3 (highly
recommended), Golden Gate (not recommended), Demolition Man.
I can't say for sure, but I don't think there's a soundtrack out until
December.

here's what I've been able to find...
boo up! ep
boo! forever ep
lazy day (promo - teh one you've got - I think it's called adrenalin for
the orig. UK release)
everything's alright forever
lazarus ep
i hang suspended ep
giant steps
wish i was skinny ep
learning to walk (ep comp. - boo up! plus every heaven and ???)
barney (...and me) ep
wish i was skinny (japan)
lazarus remixes i
lazarus remixes ii
lazarus (columbia promo - has 1 acoustic version of ... something that I
haven't seen anywhere else..)
...and some more promos...
If I were you, I'd get boo up and boo! forever and everything's alright
forever. Then - they start going crezy with this stuff - into the eps
before/after giant steps (which I think are actually better than the
album...). Watch out, though - some of the earlier eps are
*out*of*print*.
If you want more info, #s or whatever, email me. :)
Has anyone else noticed that there seem to be lots of boo radleys promos
in circulation?
