Here's some Throwing Muses tour dates FYI as of 3/1/95:
I mentioned it before, but here it is again in more detail. American
Recordings signed a licensing deal with Too Pure Records. The first Too Pure
release to arrive via this set-up is Laika's 'Silver Apples Of The Moon' on
March 28. Other titles set to follow include Minxus-'Pabulum'; Stereolab-'And
The Group Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music'; Pram-
'Helium'; Moonshake-'The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow'; Mouse On
Mars-'Vulvaland'; a Faith Healers compilation; and Stereolab-'Peng'.
Regarding Aphex Twin, the single "V.........." (I just forgot the title; it's
been mentioned here on 4AD-L very recently) will be released in the U.S.
around March 17th, and the album "I Care Because You Do" late April, both on
Sire through Elektra (<--yes that is correct). I'll keep you posted on the
sound of it all.

Hey Y'all,
I don't know if I'm allowed to post this here but anyway...
=> Atmospheric, ethereal dreampop band is looking for a female vocalist
with serious attitude and dedication for collaboration on original material.
Currently there are two guitarists, a drummer, a celloist, and bassist.
The members are all currently residing in upper west side, New York City
and we rehearse once (sometimes) twice a week so it is important that
respondents be from the NYC area.
if interested email ASAP: [email protected]

Someone was asking how Pygmalion sounds as compared to the 5ep. Well, they
are sort of worlds apart. The use of samplers for drums/percussion sounds
and guitar/instrument loops still remains but the loops are not as obviously
trancey-housey influenced. It's like they took the the trancey-housey loop
concept, and stripped it down, and put a whole different kind of sound in its
place. Also, for Slowdive, Pygmalion is somwhat dark, sad, and a little
mysterious, as compared to their other bliss-pop work.
It's also very different from their previous LP Souvlaki, which is very band
oriented. Pygmalion is very non-band oriented; except for song 8, there's no
song where there's real drums and bass played along with the guitars (song 1
might seem like it, but its all sampled percussion and cymbals, the bass part
is also actually a synth).
As for my personal opinion on this release, I think that Pygmalion is a very
beautiful, sometimes sad, sometimes blissful, work of art. I don't know how
to rank it against 5ep and Souvlaki, so I won't. I will say is that
Pygmalion is very different from them, and is just as good, and just maybe
better. Regardless, I highly recommend it, especially to those who like
their previous work, seeing the evolution of their sound into such an
original release as this. I have it playing here almost every day and I'm
not in the least bit sick of it. In a strange way, it kinda sorta reminds me
of LSD's 'Ardor', a blend of bliss, beauty, and meloncholy.

I'm not usually fond of people putting things like this on the list, but in
this case I think it has relevance for all of us on the internent. Please

Thanks to J. Gayton:
I already signed the petition when it was posted on the misc.writing
newsgroup. I would urge everyone with an interest in the welfare of free
speech in America to do the same.
Think about it.

Today I got in the mail the really nice limited edition version of
Throwing Muses "University" (thanks other Brad!) and it made me
wonder what other recent (or not-so-recent) releases have limited
edition versions. Ones I know of (but don't own) are:
"Hips and Makers" - K.H.
"King" - Belly
???
Hmm, I guess I don't know of many at all. Does anyone have a definitive
list? (or does eyesore have some easy way of getting a list). Also, if
anyone has or can get copies of these that they would sell, I'd be
interested in hearing from you...
Thanks,
-Brad
