I'm only new to this list (a month or so) and generally it's pretty cool.
But what's all this complaining about non-list music and petty
bitching, you don't have to like commercial music if you don't like too,
I only listen to a small percentage. But how about being a bit more
tolerant of this music, it has a right to exist just like any creative
endeavour and if you don't like it just leave it alone and listen to what
you do like.
I'll try to get 'on track' now, I joined the list as I like quite a few
of the bands on 4ad(dcd,breeders,fb,....) and would appreciate any advice
on further expanding my musical boundaries, if you could give me an idea
of what the music is like that would help me decide what to buy, the
Australian dollar doesn't go that far these days.
Thanks for any help in advance.

What's wrong with "Sound Your Eyes Can Follow"!!!!!
Have to disagree, the entire Moonshake discography is worth the price.
Just feeling particularly opinionated today...
Date: Tue, 6 Dec 1994 01:12:00 EST
I definetly recommend Laika. Melody Maker described their music as "Avant-
garde" rock (what ever that means). However, don't let that dismay you. It
is one of the most unique, creative, and groovy albums I own. To me Laika is a
dream come true. Prior to the split, Moonshake was all Margaret. Now that
the albums are 100% Margaret, I'm in an audio bliss. As described by others:
funky and incredible bass lines, crazy, intelligent, and complex percussion and
drums, and that voice whispering in yr head. One of the finds of the century.
Here's a quick discog:
Eva Luna:1993 released domestically by Matador:early Moonshake, more
guitar oriented. Relatively easy to find in stores.
Big Good Angel:(1993) import by Too Pure:This is classic Moonshake at
its best. THe Margaret tracks are the best.
Atenna ep:(1994) Too Pure: Less guitar, more percussion including
marimbas. Definetly quality work
Silver Apples of the Moon:(1994) Too Pure: Like Atenna, however, lots
of different sounds and styles. Each song in reinvented in a
creative way. A very strong album.
contacts that deal with imports. I found my copies of Laika at Newbury Comics
on Newbury St @ Boston.

Actually, it's their first two EPs, compiled. Personally, think it's a
good buy. Lots of variety, and it rocks in a way that they later lost.

This is somewhat true, but I think the beginnings of this are represented
on those early eps. Dawnrazor is riffy with kind of a dirty western
flavor as in Power, but The Nephilim could be compared to the song
Darkcell and the last half of Trees Come Down. (They later omitted the
first half in live shows.) Simple goth guitars like on Secrets or The
Tower (I get the two mixed up for some reason), that picking, isn't
really around later on either. Well not much. I wouldn't make the
comparison to the Sisters at all. There really isn't anyone who has
managed to sound anything like Eldritch, that I've heard. In that early
period, Carl McCoy did tend towards traditional gothic style, but not
Eldritch's. I guess the comparison could be made to FLA but I think it's
more related, and musically too, to And Also the Trees's first stuff
(which predates everything else and is also classier, nyah nyah). Anyway,
I'd look before you leap, if I were you, in naming Gary Marx as a major
influence. ;)
Or whatever the hell his name is. Ah, goth politics. This is indeed
thislisty! Really, they stole all their ideas from The Slits. Anyhow, my
point is that their style is later much more well developed, but at the
time of Laura I still don't think they sounded as much like any other
band as they all sounded like each other, and I've always seen the
Sisters as a much too urban feel to be grouped in there. When they (he)
did go gothic in a real sense, it was an enbtirely different kind of
music (as in Floodland, imo the best Sisters album).
> So I'd say it's best to look for something later in their career.
At the point of Elizium, they become somewhat experimental and
pinkfloydy. I love the album, but it's clear the band is pretty
fragmented at that point. You have your heavy metal songs, your classic
gothic stuff, a song with funky basslines, screaming and guitar noise,
the traditional ten-minute disco song (one of their best songs, really)
and a nice quiet thing that goes on forever. They characterised it as an
album with its light and dark sides, but it can be rough going unless you
really like the band. One reason I recommend the self-titled album is
it's consistent and solid without being too uniform.

The Fields 1988 album The Nephilim is one of the best gothic
albums I ever listened to. They started out more or less as
a Sisters of Mercy clone with Dawnrazor, which is a nice album
but not very spectacular. The Nephilim carries some of the gloomiest
suspense building songs I have ever heard in the genre. (Another
reference might be Love Like Blood, which aren't nearly as original
and intense as the Fields' albums). After The Nephilim another strong
album appeared, Elizium, which never quite grabbed me as The Nephilim
though. After that album they split, a live album (Earth Inferno) and
an ep (Laura) appeared, but IMHO these aren't worth getting.
The Nephilim is for me without doubt the best release of 1988 and I
always use it to explain people what the term gothic stands for.
Well, that's enough rambling for now, back to work...

OK, I'll agree, compared to Strange Boutique, Faith and the Muse sucks. But
then compared to Strange Boutique, most music sucks (and this is not at all
biased by the fact that when I lived in Baltimore, they were the only
remotely ethereal/ goth band within 100 miles so I had to love them--they
really are an incredible band). Taken on their own merit, though, Faith and
the Muse is quite good.
There are a few songs on Elyria that I can't stand--William Faith's songs.
William Faith has apparently wanted to be Valor for quite some time, so he
programmed up some simple keyboard sequences and laid a guitar track and
some ridiculously pretentious lyrics over the top of them and came up with
something that sounds almost as good as most of the latter-day Christian
Death stuff (and if you've heard any of Valor's music--or heard me arguing
with Valor from the audience at the Christian Death show in Corona a few
months ago--you'll know that's not a compliment). So let's throw out those
songs and talk about the rest of the album.
Monica Richards' voice is absolutely beautiful. Whether she's singing
traditional songs, straightforward goth, swirly ethereal stuff, or a
combination of the three, the highlight and centerpiece of the music is
clearly her voice. The keyboards and guitars could be better (the harder
songs do suffer from excessive metal-guitar-god fantasies on William
Faith's part, and the softer songs are hampered by overly-bland keyboard
patches), but the music itself (as in the writing, vs. the playing) is
quite good, and sets off Monica's vocals effectively.
Actually, I'll go out on a limb and say that I think that Monica's voice
sounds better now than it ever did with Strange Boutique. Some of Strange
Boutique's music (especially the earlier stuff) tended to bury Monica as
just another instrument or support her as if she were a rock singer, while
with Faith and the Muse the music is clearly there to surround and
highlight her.
Overall, Elyria is, while not quite as blissful as Strange Boutique's later
work, one of the best albums I've bought this year (and if I had one of
those Sony CD players that would remember your favorite tracks from each
album, so I could automatically skip the Faith songs, it might rank even
higher).
Of course live, the highlight isn't Monica's voice but her wonderful
outfits. Those tiaras.... The problem with their live performance (besides
the background singers reading their lines out of a book and apparently
unsure whether to harmonize with Monica or sing the same line a few
times--which they actually managed to improve between the first night of
the Procession Tour, in LA, and the second night, in San Francisco) is, of
course, William Faith. If only they could just be The Muse....

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "original wave," unless you mean the
first batch of bands that stopped calling themselves "Batcave bands" and
often wholeheartedly accepted the label "gothic." The Neph started in the
late 80s, almost a decade after such proto-goth bands as Siouxsie and the
Banshees, Joy Division, Bauhaus, etc., and almost as long after the
Sisters/March Violets/Red Lorry Yellow Lorry batch of "classic" goth bands.
That being said, Fields of the Nephilim were one of the most interesting
and original goth bands around. While their early stuff sounds sort of like
a harder version of Sisters of Mercy (like so many other bands,
particularly the current slew of blatant Sisters copyists coming out of
California and other parts of America), their interest in topics ranging
from the occult to spaghetti westerns soon took them in other directions,
both musically and lyrically, including directions that many people would
consider quite thislisty. They also led to quite a silly look for the band,
taking the hat obsession that Andy of the Sisters and Ian of the Cult
flirted with to such extremes that the Neph looked like a band of demonic
cowboys from some best-forgotten Western.
Early songs like "Laura" and "Power" sound a bit like what Andy Eldritch
probably wanted to make in the early days of the Sisters. The repetitive
pseudo-metallic guitar riffs, bass-heavy sound, and droning-but-powerful
low voice bring songs like "Alice" and "Temple of Love" to mind, although
the Neph songs are a bit heavier than these. If this is what you're
interested in, check out the album Dawnrazor or one of the incarnations of
the "Laura" EP (the American EP in current release is probably the best,
with all of the contents of a 5-song EP and a 3-song 12" together on one
CD).
Their next few albums contain much more of the dark ethereal blissful
spookiness that most 4AD fans are probably looking for (and much better
cover art--if I remember correctly, Chris Bigg of v23 and Storm
Constantine's husband whose name I forget did most of it; Storm Constantine
wrote the liner notes to one album [which is the only reason I picked up
her first Wraeththu book--fortunately, I didn't know about her connection
to Valor of Christian Death, or I might never have read it...]), if a bit
less energy. I personally find Elizium to be the best album from this
period, and their best album overall.
Finally, after a few great albums, the Neph broke up. A number of
reshufflings followed, eventually resulting in two bands--Rubicon, which is
essentially the original Fields of the Nephilim with a new singer, and
Nefilim, which is singer Carl McCoy's new band. Rubicon put out an album
called What Starts Ends last year, and it's not bad if you're into metallic
goth rock (a bit like the Cult, but better--although hampered by a bad
singer who desperately wants to be good, instead of by a good singer who
desperately wants to be a bad metal singer). Nefilim has released many
statements and declarations of purpose and rumors of impending releases,
but no actually music (yes, Carl McCoy has finally become the equal of Andy
Eldritch). They have toured England (and Europe? I forget), and the reviews
on the gehenna list (a list for Neph fans) aren't too conclusive, so I
can't give you too much information there.
I'm very surpised that einexile hasn't commented on this thread yet, since
I know that he loves the Neph even more than I do....

True, but sales of leather, a by-product of meat, bring down the price
of the meat and make it more viable. Hence by buying leather you're
encouraging others to buy meat.
That said, I eat meat and wear leather but loathe on fur-wearers.
I don't think that makes me a hypocrite, but who knows?

It's a 2-song 12" called "Taquaharu's Leaving", and I think it came out

I hear good things about this band, like "Springhouse meets a more gothic

like 8 albums, all of which are expensive imports. Can anyone offer some
recommendations.
Does anyone know if the newest Blind Mr. Jones (Tatooine) is worth buying on
import?
-and if anyone likes REALLY whacked-out ethereality, try a band called
DADAMAH. All their material has been rereleased by Kranky as "This Is Not a
Dream". How can they be described other than one-of-a-kind? Slow, gentle
strumming and disaffected vocals give way to mind-altering noise and spacey
echoes. Very worthwhile, but not for all tastes. 4 1/2 paws - Joe Bob

I only have e-mail access and no telnet access (yet). Is it possible to get
catalogs as e-mail from them, or to get searches by artist from them using only
e-mail? I've heard about how you can get files on the Internet using e-mail
and something about uu-coding.
Any help would be appreciated.
An apparent newbie,
Neil

"Taqaharu's Leaving" 12-inch has a pretty good B-side called
"Evocation" which sounds like one of those famous Dead Can Dance
tribal-drum orgies, with Ulrich chanting. It ends with a cheesy
sounding Roland D-Series marimba/xylophone sound. There are contributions
by Ruth Watson on oboe and someone else who eludes my murky final-obssesed
mind right now.
As a note, Peter Ulrich thanks Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard on the sleeve
for their help and inspiration.
clam chowder for all,

Someone a few days ago asked about this CD, but since no one replied, I
thought I would. I really like it myself, though it may not be everyone's
cup of tea. I guess if you like early TWP (no later than "Legendary...")
and early 4AD in general (i.e., THE BIRTHDAY PARTY/BAUHAUS), you'll like
this. It's really dark, percussive, and evil. This is especially true of
the newer songs. "Deflowered" is about the singer(?) being sexually abused
as a child and has some really chilling lyrics. Creepy shit.
By the way, the UK (4AD) version is much nicer than the US (Teen Beat)
version. The layout and printing on the US version are really shoddy.

I have been trying to find this disc for months and come up empty. I even
tried ordering through cdconnection.com and they couldn't get it for me. There
are admittedly a few places in Chicago that I haven't looked yet, but can
anyone help me by pointing me in the right direction?

> jcrimm asked about: ultracindys and lovesliescrushing-----
hiya', let me begin by saying that you have stumbled onto some
great stuff. i'm not sure if there is another ultracindy around or not,
but the one i know are four guys from norfolk, va who now mostly reside
in richmond. they play great, dreamy, furious, jangle-pop songs. in fact,
i saw them open for the wedding present exactly one week ago tonight.
they played at my radio station's band nite. by "my" i mean i am a
student and dj. anyway, they are a terriffic bunch of fellows who play
straightforward pop. i believe that their new album "mermaid's parade" is
one of the first albums on the new -earthling- label from somewhere up
north. they'll have a new ep out next year. they are also featured on a
compilation called Wyatt's Torch put out by Spinart and Brilliant. i can
get anyone a copy of wyatt's torch for $7 (including postage). there are
four tracks each by; the technical jed, poole, seymoures, and of course,
ultracindy. it's a pretty great collection.
i'm sure many listys will have lots to say about your other
query; lovesliescrushing, the new projekt project! so i'll just say that it
comes highly recommended.
anyone interested in the wyatt's torch disc can either email me:
