I plucked this from EAR/Rational's latest pre-order list:
*** week of March 13th, 1995 *** (pre-orders due February 26th, 9pm)
Durutti Column, The-Sex & Death CD $12.75
The Durufti Column/Vini Reilly were the first band to record for the
legendary Factory label, and eight albums later they dbut for ffrr/
Factory too. Continuing his excellent tradition of rhythmic and ethereal
and fragile guitar compositions, this record should appeal to his long
standing fan base, and to those who appreciate atmospheric musics.
12 tracks. On ffrr/Factory too
In addition, Phantom Imports had this listed for the same week....
I'm quite excited about this one....has anyone _heard_ an advance of this?

Hmm, now which would be more USEFUL in a Holy War. You could set up
giant speakers and play dcd to the opposing army, and while they are
looking at each other saying "What the hell is that?" as Lisa 1 sings
"Ahhooo eeeyaaa pinkyplunk memmeme" your army could sneak up and kill them.
Or you could play them Geek the Girl, and they would kill themselves
without your army even having to show up.

Lida's new LP 'Joyride' comes out this month (Caroline). Recommended if you

Electric Company- A Pert Cyclic Omen(Onion)- Holy Shit! Who would of thought
that Brad Laner, of the endlessly lame and derivative Medicine, would
come up with this instrumental cd, which reminds me of some amazing

This cd has about ten instrumental feedback drenched jams which sort of
float around aimlessly until a violent squall of feedback draws you
back. The strange thing is that all the noise is very soothing and user

Hey, cool. Except that they copped the style from Mr. James' own
lettering efforts. It's kind of a lousy 'look and feel' kind of pseudo-
imitation, if you ask me. Which brings up another question: Why the hell
is he "The Aphex Twin" on this disc? I have *never* seen him called this
except with a small 't' the way you do with the Pixies, the Cranes, etc.
Does this have anything to do with name ownership? I remember hearing,
long ago, about his using Polygon Window because R&S would not let him
use Aphex Twin, tho I *am* aware that he is still using this name and
doing so for a purpose, etc.

When I was workin' at the swell record store in Issy, M.S. sent us 2
copies of each of their (2) CDs (there are more?). I snagged one of
each, so did my co-worker. It's not really coherent as far as 'music'
goes, but we're all used to that sort of thing, so... I really enjoyed
the material as I was first hearing it, but I've got bad memories of
listening to the discs while driving back & forth to/from Bellingham in
the rain with a headache, so I don't listen to them much now.
Those folks go nuts with the cheesy delay sounds. Not reverb, delay.
Gosh... they're all more like spooky/arty drama albums than rock records.
Let's see... did they start out in Texas then move to Seattle? What
label... 'Ventrick'?

Often times, people glom onto this vocabulary, precisely for it's
delicious kitche value. But you're transferring a bourgouis belief onto
these "normal everyday people" (which is becoming more of a vague term
anyway) who probably just say what the hell they're going to say,

What do you mean by "normal" speech patterns? The language we all use
nowadays is colloquial and minimalistic in nature. Simply watch some of
the "english" that goes through that little glowing screen in front of you.
As for good music being nullified by corporate culture, I think that some
wacky die hards might still listen to DCD, CT, etc etc etc even after a
couple of their songs are raped to peddle alka-seltzer.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but aren't Alka-Seltzer, etc. required to
obtain permission to use the song...and pay royalties? All of these
songs that have been mentioned, were turned over by the owners, not
necessarily the performers, to be used for that purpose. Criticize the
people who sold the music...not the ones who bought it.

In regards to some comments about Esquivel's compilation __Space Age Bachelor
Pad Music__: This recording serves it's purpose well as a primer to the
Mexican composer's music. It is definetely NOT to be considered a seminal
collection by any means. Esquivel was first and foremost a pianist, whose
swimming style reminded me as an early teen of Mike Garson's work on Bowie's
__Aladin Sane__ record. (I was lucky to have a pops, in a rare display of
cool, being mesmerized by Esquivel's stuff. This was one those things that
weighed heavily during my formative years.) In essence, I grew up listening
to _Other Worlds, Other Sounds__, __OW,OSVol2__, and __Infinity in Sound__
(hows that for a Stereolab reference?).
I remember when CD's first came out, how cool it would have been for RCA to
reissue Esquivel's works, as they always sounded very cool (given the
technology at the time.) Back then, it seemed pretty far-fetched that
Esquivel's catalog would ever find it's way to disc--but some casual
interference by Re/Search publications, and Bar None Records sought to
overturn that. It seems we have them to thank. And I have heard that __Other
Worlds, Other Sounds__ may be reissued on disc by Warner Bros., which would
of course be a godsend. Despite the greatness of SABPM, it's conceptual
weirdness forces it to remain a novelty. But fans of Combustible
Edison/Stereolab/Cocktail/Lounge/Retro/whatever may do well to check out
SABPM, to see rare unification of Cocktail Cheese/Big Band/experimentation.
The result is unlike anything you've ever heard.
issue due to untimely funding (or lack thereof). It will be finished this
weekend, and then out four weeks from then. By far the largest issue, it has
interviews with Sky Cries Mary, Diamandal, Wolfgang Press, Victoria Williams,
Orbital, LSD, Portishead, Miranda Sex Garden, and a bunch of other stuff.
It's called __Boxed&drowning__ for personal reasons, and will cost $5 US. For
more info, email me at [email protected] (because I really hate advertising
on lists; please forgive)

According to the liner notes of that Esquivel CD, the phrase was coined by
Byron Coley, describing the whole genre of '50s-'60s hi-fidelity exotica music
as produced by Esquivel, Martin Denny, etc. The kind of stuff young guys with
fancy stereo hi-fi's would play to (a) show off how good their system sounded
(most of this stuff was extremely well recorded for its time) and (b) produce
an exotic mood perfect for cocktail parties or coaxing female visitors out of
their taffeta gowns.
Stereolab are big fans of this stuff, as their sleeve art and titles indicate.
It shows up to some extent in their music, too.
The Esquivel CD is great stuff. Zany beyond belief. I have to assume E. had
his tongue firmly in cheek at the time; the arrangements are wacked out by the
standards of any time. Also worth checking out are Combustible Edison.

I've heard bits of a collaboration between Lida Husik and ambient-techno dude
Beaumont Hannant. I really liked it; it had a Seefeel-ish atmosphere to it. I
have no idea what she sounds like by herself.

Wow.
The new Siddal record, _The_Pedestal_ is amazing. I've been listening
to it constantly for the past five days.
The music is reminiscient of Garlands-era Cocteaux, gauzy and synthy
with a drum machine. One of the tracks ("Treasures of Sleep") reminds
me of "Finding the Sea" by Durutti Column.
Elaine Nazimek's voice is perfect. Slow delivery, but a very
beautiful, pure voice. Well mixed and up front, some multitracking.
It occurred to me the other day that it sort of reminded me of a
more pure Karen Peris...I'm not sure if I'd stand by that, though.
The guitar work is excellent too. Rich Brinkley has a good sense of
texture.
The production is nearly *flawless*. One of the best produced
records I've heard in a while.
If you dig Cocteaux, Area/M7x, Love Spirals Downwards, etc...you'll
like this record. It's on Bedazzled, not sure of distribution, but
you can find the label on the net for info.

Fellow Listoids:
I know that this has been chewed over a lot recently on the list, but I just
read the last couple of postings, which raised some really interesting
issues. Is the appropriation of "underground" music for commericials bad
because it cheapens the music, drags it into a commercial forum and devalues
it as art object, or good because it provides an additional source of income
for artists who don't sell a zillion records and doesn't change the essential
nature of what continues to be basically good music?
If there are any 4AD artists lurking on the list, I would really like to hear
what they have to say on this subject. Simiarly, to the extent that they
haven't already, I'd like to hear the views of non-4AD musicians/songwriters
who belong to the list.
At last, a real issue...

I can see both sides of the issue. I would be incensed if
a Cocteau Twins song were to be used in a stupid beer ad,
but if that brings them some extra deserved cash and turns
on some new fans, then it's a good thing. There was that
car ad a while back that used a Clannad song, and apparently
the company kept getting calls just to find out what the
music was. In that case some people didn't really care what
was being sold. But in general my feelings fall toward the
negative side.

Firstly -- aaargh, I'd sell my soul or anything of = valu to get to the
N'oleans Mardi Gra (It's a long way from Africa)
Secondly, Speaking of fiddles, there is a great song about a
fiddler,(called jonny I think) who has a cometion with the DEVIL for his
soul vs a golden fiddle.
This song has amazing fiddiling in it. Any onw know the name or artist
of the song????
Gnome ... who cant fiddle, which is OK as my soul is not worth much ...
BTW The fiddler wins.

Greetings,
I just saw the CRANES on tuesday night. What a show!!! I got more than my
money's worth. I met Alison Shaw, and got an autographed set list too.
If anyone is intrested in what they played here it is, taken directly from
the setlist:
1. Shining Road
2. Pale Blue Sky
3. Cloudless
4. Beautiful Friend
5. Jewel
6. Living and Breathing
7. Sixth of May
8. Reverie
9. Clear
10. Far Away
11. Paris and Rome
--------------------------
Encore
1. Everywhere
2. Lilies
3. Adrift
4. Adoration
It was an unbelieveable show. jOHN enjoyed it to the fullest extent also, but
I think I had a better seat than he did.
There were about 250 people there and Idaho opened. They were pretty good.
Alot like the Red House Painters. But somehow I don't think that they would
sound quite as good on record.

Depends what the ad is, depends for how much, depends on whether
you have control over the final product, depends on whether you want
to have your music 'picked up' by many people in such a way as you
can't control it, depends on how you feel about 'sound-byting' your life's work.
Warhol
probably would've loved it. Peter Gabriel probably wouldn't go for it.
In the end, weigh it all in the balance, make a decision.
Look at the commercials in Japan. Many interesting ads that don't even
mention the product, focus on the artist herself. I like these ads, and
think artists would be dumb not to do them. In fact, I have heard really
great music on Japanese TV commercials: Cocteau Twins, DCD, Shizuru
Ohtaka (does anybody out there know her?), lots of Jazz.
Maybe life's too short to worry about how your music gets out there.
Maybe the medium itself is so destructive that anything that is put on it
is ripped to shreds.
The truth probably lies somewhere in between.

Hello, I just subscribed and this is my first message on this list!
Does anyone know if the Cocteau Twins EPs Tiny Dynamine and
Echoes In A Shallow Bay are out of print? They do seem really hard to
find, recently I've only seen it on vinyl, but I'm trying to find the
CD's. I had no idea what songs were on them since they don't list them on back
cover, until I referred to the Eyesore discography on WWW. A total of
eight songs that I've never heard! I'm anxious to get 'em, as I have
everything else by CT.

Peter Gabriel did go for it, in fact: serving up "Come Talk to Me" for a
series of AT&T commercials. Not to mention those EVIL "You Will"
mind-control commercials that play Muzak versions of "Solsbury Hill."
There was a really funny post on the alt.music.peter-gabriel list a while
back, parodying some Ben & Jerry commercial. As I recall, the post had
Peter jumping out of a bush where he was filming human rights violations
to say something like, "mmmm... nothing like Ben & Jerry's after a hard
day of humanitarian aid." hehehehe.... Many of the more sensitive souls
over there were a bit offended by the whole thing, but I thought it was
hilarious!
I had a chance to see them live here in Portland, Oregon with Lisa Germano
and the Pale Saints. They were pretty good, though outshined by their
tourmates. The lead singer seemed to be spending an awful lot of time
hanging out with Meriel. Looked like a crush to me! Their newest album on
Caroline records in the US is pretty good. Sometimes the singers vocal
quavering gets a bit much, but--there's a couple of really great songs on
there. I wouldn't have paid US$15 for it, but for what I paid, it was
worth every penny.

I guess My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are appropriate subject
matter for this list despite the fact that they aren't and never were on
4AD, so I just wanted to know if anyone knew when the new MBV album will
be out in the U.S. I read on WWW in the 'Dream Pop' page that they have
an 'anxiously anticipated new album' coming out soon.
Same question for 'Pygmalion' by Slowdive, which I read about in
the same place. Apparently, it's already out in the U.K., but if you
remember the fiasco about Souvlaki being released several months late by
horrible SBK, it could be a while before it reaches the U.S. Does anyone
know when it might be out over here?
Speaking of how horrible SBK is, it took me several months to
track down a cassette of Just For A Day because the only ones I could find
were complete mispresses, with one song on each side, by some utterly
non-alternative artist that was not Slowdive at all. Has anyone else had
the same experience? I've written Slowdive, C/O Creation Records an
e-mail urging them to get the fuck off SBK as quickly as possible. I urge
anyone else out there who listens to and loves Slowdive to do the same.

Both of these releases are available in the Cocteau Twins Box Set, as well
as on a single release (both CD's combined onto one CD) which should be
available on an import basis. I have seen it several times in the Boston
area on CD and even a couple of times on cassette.

Hello everyone again,
I'm a big Throwing Muses fan. Kristin Hersh is an utterly
brilliant songwriter and... I'm searching for a word to describe her
guitar playing. Maybe supernatural is the word. Those deft, unpredictable
arpeggios carve little grooves in the music that you can really get into.
All the reviews I've read of 'University' give it **** and generally
seem to really like it. But to me, there's something desperately wrong with
it. I think it may be that it is so intimate, which I see as drastically
uncharacteristic of Throwing Muses. I think Red Heaven is their best
album, I'm really attracted to the alluringly distant sounds therein. But
I find University sort of a shock. Not only that, but a few of the
songs on it are downright boring (Crabtown, Snakeface, Fever Few). Is
anyone willing to come out of the closet and share my criticism of
University?
BTW--whatever happened to Leslie Langston, TM's former bassist?
She's every bit as brilliant a musician as Kristin Hersh, and I can't
figure out why she left or what she's doing now. She came back as a
session player on Red Heaven, and now is unfortunately gone.

Hello friends, just one more thing to bother ya with tonight-
At the Cocteau Twins concert I was at last April (Bridges
Auditorium, Claremont CA, brilliant show too), I saw someone with a white
shirt that just had the 4AD emblem on the front in black, across the
chest. I could hardly believe it, because before, I had imagined a shirt
that looked just like that, that I would want to have if it existed. But
I didn't even know it really does exist! Does anyone know if I can order
it from 4AD themselves, or anywhere else I can order the shirt from?

Hey,
I did not get my LYCIA/BLEAK postcard yet. How far does the tour extend?

I got off the phone with Projekt and here is the latest info. I'm surprised
that this info hasn't been made known here yet because I knew nothing of this
until today.
A short Love Spirals Downwards acoustic-unplugged style tour is being
scheduled right now. San Francisco has been already been confirmed and
Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York are in tenative, but in the works. This
will happen in May.
Lycia, on the other hand, will be embarking a nationwide 25+ show tour across
America as an opening act for the band Type O Negative (sp?). This will
commence in about a month or so.

It's really cool to see people get energized about an issue. Please, more,
more...
Let me add one q, then I'll step aside and let people continue the dialogue.
I just saw a Nike commercial, one of the artier, more handsome and
carefully-constructed commercials I've seen recently, that used Buffalo Tom's
"Soda Jerk" from _Big Red Letter Day_. It actually prompted me to throw on
the disc, one that I hadn't listened to in a few months. A pretty good
marriage of music and message that probably served both artist and
advertiser. If only there were more like that and less Sunkist "Good
Vibrations" type exercises in blandification. Any opinions on this ad?
Carry On,
Dave G.
