Hello everyone, I'm the new girl.
I also picked this one up just the other day. Unfortunately, I've
never had the means to purchase the box set (hope that's not grounds for
excommunication), so I was probably more prone to enjoy it. Although I have
in my possesion most of the tracks (those from Akiea Guinea, Love's Easy
Tears, Tiny Dynamine/ESB, Peppermint Pig single, Iceblink single, Pink
Opaque), its wonderful to have all those favorites on one nice, pristine
sounding CD rather than my former personal scratchy, ancient, cassette mixes.
Very nice indeed, and one of those interesting secrets to add to your
collection. I bought it for 25$. The chronological progression, as Gil
pointed out, is insightful. It gives one of those evolutionary perspectives
that you really can't get unless you spend an afternoon listening to
everything from Garlands to FCC.
What's this mentioned in the ambient letter of a new album? I
thought it wouldn't be out for years. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
everyone again. Take care,
Allison B.

it should be obvious that this is just a bit out of context, but as a long time

Nice to see that with all the slagging on the recent Cocteau efforts,
the band still came in as the 4AD all-time fave. I too was disappointed by
"Four Calendar Cafe"....it's reached the point where I think it probable that
I will _not_ buy the next Cocteau release.
However, the Twins of the 4AD middle-80's are still very special to
me. Those albums and EPs lasted me through the majority of high school, and
all of my undergrad time. I'm sure they'll endure through grad school as well.
kj-- as much as I don't share your enthusiasm for HNIA, I'm also
surprised that they charted so low. There seems to be quite a dedicated cult
of Warren fans on the list. Mind you, I'm curious to know how many people
actually voted....maybe 35 or so?
Well, the year is almost up. 1995 will mean lots of things. New goodies
from 4AD....new albums from Slowdive, Ministry, Einsturzende Neubaten....
Ugh...will also mean that I'll be turning 23. How depressing. Doesn't
seem so long since I was the naive little 17-year-old pictured on my California
driver's license....
Well, 'nuff said. Happy holidays to each and all, a Warren or the
equivalent in your stocking, etc. etc. :)

Hey, why doesn't somebody just email Simple Machines and ask them if Slack
signed to 4AD? Maybe then we could really find out.

Hello folks,
Just in time for the Holiday season, I'm posting my first
cut of The Moon Seven Times/Area Discog v1.1. If you
aren't interested, press your 'd' key now...
The discog is split into 3 parts, The Moon Seven Times,
Area, and Other Misc Stuff. My personal collection lacks
most of the Area and Other Misc Stuff, so gaps and ???
occur frequently. If you have any additions, corrections,
or clarifications, please drop me an email at bmckay@tc1032.
pto.ford.com and I'll edit the document. You wont win a
prize, but you will get listed in the Credits section at
the end of the document (oh joy!).
Kudos to David Gilles-Thomas ([email protected])
who has come up with the most obscure item yet, "The
Halloween Single II", which you can find in the Other
Misc Stuff section of the discog, near the end of the
document.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Ghost, Ghost, Ghost/ U Sexy THING/ Heap!/ Dark Space/
Spooky/ 1-900-FRENZYS
Special: Tape runs about 30 minutes. Review of songs provided
by David Gilles-Thomas ([email protected]) below:
'Ghost, Ghost, Ghost' and 'U Sexy THING' are fun little rock songs.
'Heap!' is a story read in a fake english (german?) accent.
'Dark Space' is a wonderfully moody piece that incorporates a
recording of Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewert) when he was transformed
into a Borg (from a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode). This
song is alone worth finding the tape. It's great!
'Spooky' is a brief bit of Lynn apparently goofing around in the
studio -- lovely nonetheless.
1-900-FRENZYS is another spoken word piece complete with a
bad Peter Lorre imitation.

I saw this cd last night....whoever said it was the work of someone
trying to earn back the cash they put out for the box set was right on
the money.
I HARDLY think that Peppermint Pig, Pearly Dewdrops Drops and other songs
are FORGOTTEN among Cocteau Twins fans. Hell, these are some of my
favorite songs.
PS.... Rodney's Christmas Pick to Click on L.A.'s KROQ was Frosty by the
Cocteaus.....Yeah, he's on the cutting edge. This song is, what? A year
and a half old by now? Two years? Luckily for the yucky little man who
looks like a British schoolmarm (Rodney, that is), it's still one of my
very favorite Christmas songs ever....right up there with Christmas Wrapping.

One thing I'd like to add about this discography...the tracks that
appeared on From Across This Grey Land: Our Corner Drowning and Robin
are remixes of the original versions (better, if you ask me, but who
did), and not just album tracks. The discography is extensive and
helpful, even though it is still fragmented in some areas...a great
job.... thanks :)

well, well.
today i picked up here in pittsburgh the following
AVAM
Rare on Air featuring Brendan Perry
and
the AK79 comp featuring scavengers/marching girls songs.
5 in total by them, 4 of which have brendan perry lyrics. haven't heard
anything until you hear a young (very young by the photos enclosed) brendan
perry belting out punk lyrics. seems he didnt develop his deep voice until
much later. i think he's what about 16-18 on these songs. i will have to go
back and check.
anyway magnificent day here in pittsburgh recordwise. i have been looking for
AK79 for a year and half and there it was and only $13.00.

I've been sitting here at me desk listening to some old compilation I
made years ago...Xmal Deutschland's "Xmas in Australia" is on here.
Whoa. Kewl song and all, but NOT cheery Xmas material by far. I guess
you have to be in Australia.
The local "wannaba indie radio station" here in Boston, WFNX, actually
played Cocteau Twins' "Winter Wonderland" yesterday. Of course, some-
thing from the "Pearl-Temple-Dummie-Dookie-Offspring" was played right
after that. Short-lived bliss.

I did send email to Simple Machines re: Slack/Toomey deal, and I
haven't recieved a reply. I guess the holidays have got them busier
than usual (if that's possible), or they're being as coy as possible.
I'll let everyone know just as soon as I hear something.

unfortunately i have been glossing over the lisa germano discussion going on
in this list.
my question:
is the rest of lisa germano's work like the song featured on AVAM?
this cut blew me away.
if its anything like the rest i will definitely buy some more of her albums
just wondering

Hey gang, I was wondering if anyone could give me some help here. The 4AD
Newsletter mentioned that "December sees the club release of a number of
mixes of selected tracks from the duo's new LP..." and lists six remixers.
Does anyone know how this has worked out? Are there six individual vinyl
promo remixes out there? Or is there a big remix LP? Please, help me with
any details you can provide. I'd love to know:
1. how many items there are
2. who remixed what
3. catalog numbers
Thanks for you help with any information you can provide. And have a great
holiday, even though I won't...I'm stuck here in Madison studying for prelims.

According to the latest SPIN magazine, "Guided By Voices have teamed up with
the Breeders' Kim and Kelley Deal to record 'Sensational Gravity Boy,' under
the band name Freedom Cruise. The Song will appear on a ten-inch between the
pages of _The Indie Rock Guide to Dating_, a quarterly fanzine published by
the Red Hot Organization that will benefit AIDS."
Does anyone know anything about this? How one could come across the 'zine?
If it will be released commercially?
If anyone will be getting this release, I would be interested in setting up
a tape trade or something...

Oh yeah!

I just thought I'd post some information I just got from the 4AD info line
about the new TWP singles. Evidently, the remixes will be commercially
available -- it sounded to me like there will be a bunch of versions of the
single on disc and vinyl.
Anyway, this still doesn't help me with the lowdown on the promo(s), so if
you have any info, you can still share your knowledge with the rest of us.
Thanks.

The song before it, "Anyway" is on Between Purple and Pink, though the
version on 7=49 is happier because for some reason it's about a half-step
higher in pitch. The Area version is my favourite song of theirs, ever.
