I've said this before and, dare I repeat myself, say it again:

I do believe that "Down Colourful Hill" and "Ocean Beach" are my most
favorite creations by RHP.  It has something to do with passion and zest
and fun(?).  I don't *dislike*  the two other works in between, but they
were not inspiring.

I hope that helps in your "which one to buy first" quest.

Oh, while I'm posting anyway, is it just me or does the RHP version of "I
am a Rock" and the CT "Spanglemaker" start out exactly the same or what?
Everytime I hear either one of those songs I end up singing (humming) the
other.

(Since this question was posted to both lists, I'll reply to both.)

---from Dmitri Bender:

> Does anybody know anything about this french babe who was on "Sahara
> Blue",Barbara Gougan or something like that ? A friend of mine is
> infatuated with her.

That would be Barbara Gogan.  In the 80's she sang in a band called the
Passions, who had a minor European hit with a song called "I'm in Love
with a German Film Star" (I *think* that was the name, anyway).

She resurfaced around the turn of the decade in a band called Sunrise
Hammers (a wonderful name, IMHO) with Tim Sommer of Hugo Largo.  I never
heard exactly what happened to them, but I would assume that
music-industry indifference caused them to throw in the towel.

Unfortunately, I've never heard anything by either band before; her
contributions to the _Sahara_Blue_ CD were the first vocals I'd ever
heard by her.  And all the information I've related above is culled from
earlier issues of Jack Rabid's zine, The Big Takeover, which is an
excellent read.

And now, MY Zazou-related question: Was a single ever released for HZ's
"I'll Strangle You"?  I'd really like to hear some remixes of that, and
I'd also like to possess it simply so I could sell _Sahara_Blue_, which
sucks, for the most part.

Is this the 'theme' mentioned on the UVS Blood and Thunder single? Well
hey, why don't you just give ol' Kurt a buzz and ask him yourself? :)
Sorry, joke in poor taste. Yeah, I just found my B&T single...hmmm. What

'Pump Up The Volume' was a world wide hit. 4AD's only huge hit ever.
Originally even intended to be the B-side of 'Anitina' !!! (check the
'double A-side' sleeve of the original BAD 707 12" and compare it with the
BAD 707 R remix 12").
Although it was first released back in 1987 there must be quite a few CD
version around (USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, France, ...). I only have the
2 UK versions:

'Pump Up The Volume' BAD 707 CD (September 1987)
1. Pump Up The Volume (Re-Mix)
2. Pump Up The Volume
3. Anitina
4. Anitina (Re-Mix)
The gate-fold cardboard sleeve has the same (green/copper) design as the
remix 12". 1. and 3. are also on the Japanese '4AD '12 Inch 87 Anthology'
CD (CY-4415).

'Pump Up The Volume' BAD M 707 CD (September 1993)
1. Pump Up The Volume
2. Pump Up The Volume (Re-Mix)
3. Anitina
Digipak. Design totally different to original CD, using images from the
original 12" frontcover.

(There is a version of 'Pump Up The Volume' on 'Lilliput' too)

Just received information about 4AD's new signing SCHEER (a 5-piece band
from Dublin, Northern Ireland). They'll have a one-sided 7" out on 4AD very
soon, to be followed by an EP in the autumn. They are set to record their
debut album this summer.

Previous releases:
'Wish You Were Dead'  7", July 1993, Son Records
'Psychobabble' 4-track EP, July 1994, Son Records

AD 707 = 7"
BAD 707 = 12"*
BAD R 707 = Remixed 12"
BAD M 707 CD = CD Single

There's also an American 7", 12" and CD Single on 4th & B'Way
Records, and it was on the soundtrack for the movie _Bright Lights,
Big City_

The (overpriced) American 12" & CD version: Pump Up The Volume
(version one), Pump Up The Volume (bonus beat), Pump Up The Volume
(instrumental), Pump Up The Volume (radio edit), Anitina (version
two)

*As I understand it (from an interview with Martyn and Steve on MTV),
the original version (BAD707) was deleted and re-released (BAD R 707)
because the original had unauthorized samples...

> Although it was first released back in 1987 there must be quite a

...and was never released on CD (except for the Japanese _1987 12
Inch Anthology_ and the American version) until last year (BAD M 707
CD).

Although, I have seen bootlegged copies of the "illegal" version, in
a cardboard sleeve, floating around in America...for $50.00!)

- Second, was the Glee Club 'Free To Believe' flexi a 4AD thing or 'just'

I'm looking for a review that's in one of the following issues
of Option: #46,47,48,49. Can someone help me out?

I just listened to about half of the new Eden album and it's
very good, and very unlike anything Eden has done before.
Believe me, Eden isn't going to get anything close to a
Dead Can Dance comparison this time around! More and harder
guitars, more noise, Sean Bowley sounding deeper and darker...
I don't think I'd know it was Eden if I hadn't played the
album myself. I think I'll go put on the new Lycia album now.

  Which TMC boxed set are we talking about?  The one with all three full

Albuquerque about two years ago for $45, I think.  Am I talking about the
same thing here, or just hallucinating??

Subject: Lycia's new album


My last message said "I'll go put on the new Lycia album..."
I did.

wow..Wow..WOW!
in-f***ing-credible! (and this is "only" after the first hour)
At just shy of the two-hour (!) mark, Lycia's double album
_The Burning Circle And Then Dust_ is light-years ahead
of the previous studio album. I didn't think I would ever see the
day when I would describe Lycia as blissful! But there truly are
several tracks that strike me in almost the same way as Slowdive
does with "Morningrise" and "She Calls"! That exhilarating,
just past the top of the rollercoaster, sustained rush of adrenaline
feeling... Don't go thinking though that they actually SOUND like
Slowdive though; that's not what I mean. As ever there's Mike
Vanportfleet's sepulchral vocals, the heavily reverbed drum machine,
the searing guitar shards burning over everything; it's just that this
time around it's a fuller sound, with more melody and even some good old
Clan Of Xymox beauty/melancholy. As the postcard/advertisement says
(twice, in fact) "devastatingly beautiful". I can't put it any better
that that.

This CD is available from Projekt:
credit card orders: 1-800-cd-laser (*not* Projekt headquarters, btw)
Lycia tour info: 818-395-7698

This is interesting, because I found myself disappointed slightly in this
one. Rather than being light years ahead of Day in the Stark Corner, much
of Burning Circle and Then Dust sounded to me like Mike was treading
water. There is some more accessibility in many of the tracks--disc one
even has a couple of songs that are close to pop--but overall I got a
very strong "more of the same" vibe. Particularly after hearing the
astonishing Bleak album, which sounded to me like a natural and very
aggressive evolution from what Mike had been doing on the last Lycia
album. I suppose I was expecting something much more daring than I got
with the double-CD, after hearing Bleak and the noisier sections of the
live disc. I'll let you know if I've warmed to the BC&TD set after giving
it a few more spins, but my initial impression was a letdown.

Martin

PS Love to hear what other listers think of the album.
