my faves:
treasure- ( always be the essential 4AD 80's album from them)
Victorialand -( one day I hope opera singers will perform the tracks off this
, live ,its a recording out on its own)
HOLV- (the honing and prefecting of the groove.. this swings at times)
4CC- (pure pop, distilling the celtic goth influnce into pure pop....
hummable... an improtant consideration!)
the box of singles is also well worth it.. as there used to be a time when a
12' every few monthswas coming out and it was pure bliss... one track held
enuff interest as awhole side of an album!
I just watched an old interview with them from 1984 treasure era... the spiky
hair ,. liz's eyes... ahhhhhh those were the days..... does anyone else find
Liz stunningly attractive?

I received my copy of the Liquorice 7" this past weekend.
[Interesting postcard-looking packaging with Frank Smith (Baltimore
Federals) silkscreened stamp, "cancelled" in Livonia 10.20.94]
First off, I'm happy that it's nothing like the Grenadine 7"
produced/recorded by you-know-who, but I must say it's not very
typically "4AD" either, except for maybe "Squawk Of The Town."
At what point in the song do you hear this Elizabeth Fraser sample?
I've listened to it many times and haven't heard her.
The only way I can describe the music of "Squawk Of The Town" is by
comparing it to the aural effect of an acid trip (no, I'm not
promoting drugs!), with it's wash of dubbing ether-like noise while
listening to The Pretenders' "Talk Of The Town" on an AM radio that
keeps fading in and out somewhere off in the background -- only this
version of "TALK Of The Town" is sung by Jenny (or rather Jennifer,
as she's named on this 7") Toomey.
"Stalls" and "Artifacts" is quite typically indiepop, more like the
quieter moments of Guernica/4AD Unrest. The guitars in "Stalls" even
remind me of The Sundays. If you're a card carrying member of "The
Cult Of 4AD" circa first gloomy* decade, and you don't like pop,
well... I'll probably get the album when it comes out.

In response to Srilank's question about the new Belly EP:
I was talking to a guy in one of my favorite music stores a couple days ago,
and I asked him the same thing. Here's what he told me:
1) There will be a US CD single for "Superconnected" (no word on extra
tracks).
2) The new UK release is a 3 (yes _three_) part single for "Seal My Fate."
His understanding is that the first, due this week, contains "Seal My Fate"
plus 3 non-album tracks. The second, due next week, contains "Seal My Fate"
(live) plus 3 live tracks. The third, due the following week, contains "Seal
My Fate" (acoustic) plus 3 acoustic tracks. There will be an _extremely_
limited version containing all 3 discs in a single package.
That's what I've heard...

Both cool I'd say, Ticky's album Maxamaque (or something like that)
Recently released "Overcome" and
"Black Steel" (cover of a Public Enemy song)
Massive Attack's older album "Blue Lines" (v. good I've heard)
and newer "Protection" which is brilliant, fairly recently
relesed from it "Sly", "Protection" and "Karmacoma".
Definately worth a listen (I reckon).

Yeah, I see this every once in awhile. I first saw it about two years ago,
but I've seen it as recently as two months ago.
It's this weird post-apocalyptic thing, where this guy punches on a
computer, dons his Oakleys, and opens a door leading to this swirling
desert wasteland, all to the tune of "The Arrival and the Reunion."

I knew that Elastica "borrowed" a lot from Wire (great band, btw), but I hadn't
heard 'Pink Flag' (the album which 3Girl Rhumba is from) in a LONG time...so,
after reading this note I put the album on and I have to say that I am shocked
that anyone would be so damn blatant. I knew there was a reason that I had to
admit the 'Connection' was a good song even if I didn't care for Elastica...

Yes. It's listed in the Bel Canto discography at the following URL:-

Nobody else seems to have reported this news from Wednesday's Melody
Maker, so I guess I shall have to. From the May 13 Melody Maker:
> Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley and Sarah Cracknell contacted The Maker
> this week to tell us about their future plans and to deny reports
> suggesting the group have split.
To summarise: the reports in the NME were incorrect. Sarah *does* intend
to release an album of her own material. Bob and Pete *are* working on a
project with three female vocalists. However, these projects are both
*in addition* to a forthcoming Saint Etienne ep with French singer
Etienne Daho, and a Saint Etienne album to be recorded at the end of
the year, both of which are Bob, Pete and Sarah as normal.
So it looks like we get the best of both worlds.

I haven't really been following the thread on
The Verve, but I have the following info to offer:

'A Northern Soul' on Vernon Yard Recordings
So It Goes / A Northern Soul / Brainstorm Interlude /
Drive You Home / History / No Knock On My Door / Life's An Ocean /
Stormy Clouds / Reprise
My initial reaction is very negative. A guy that sounds like
Bono from U2 singing tunes dripping with 'classic rock' and
hints of soul isn't something I need to keep. So if anyone
wants this advance tape, contact me.

While this does happen far too often (especially from US major labels),
I've read interviews with Rachel Goswell that contradict this.
She said that "Golden Hair" was left off of _Blue_Day_ because of a legal
matter. Apparently, when they decided to record it for the third EP,
they contacted Syd Barrett's estate directly, and they gave the
approval. Then they changed their minds when they caught wind that the
song was about to be re-released on the comp. Why is anyone's guess. I
don't know if I believe the story, but that's the official line.
And yes, "Avalyn II" was left off because it's simply an instrumental
version of "Avalyn I".
Incidentally, I listened to _Just_for_a_Day_ last Sunday for the first
time in about a year. I used to really love that album, but having since
heard _Souvlaki_ and _Pygmalion_, _JfaD_ sounds really weak in
comparison. Most of the songs are pretty good, but the production is
pretty bad (the same reason I prefer the first two EPs way more than the
third).
And pardon my ignorance, but where did the word _Pygmalion_ come from,
anyway?

I've played the Liquorice 'Squawk Of The Town' track a few times but I
don't hear any Liz Fraser samples? If the singer sound like Liz Frazer than
I sound like Frank Sinatra (in the good old days). I guess they just speeded
up the vocals. Try play it at 17 rpm.
Talking about Liquorice: it's spelled Liquorice in the USA and Licorice in
the rest of the world by the way. Part of their image?
I received the new white wax 7" by See Saw, 'My Stereo' (on Simple
Machines, the same label the Liquorice 7" is on, so that's the
4AD-relation). You might remember that See Saw released a beautiful CD last
year, called 'And The Head Popped Off'. Well, this time the labels popped
off, it seems. Anybody who has a copy of with propper labels??

P.S. So Saint Etienne have split! That's a pitty. They played great football
in the early eighties (as far as French football teams can be good at all).

Actually, Elastica are paying money to Wire's and Strangler's publishing
companies. They have a bigger problem with the band's *ahem* tributes
than the actual bandmembers do. Perhaps it will interest more people in
the Stranglers and Wire, two very deserving bands, if their sound becomes
popular....or maybe not.

I agree on JfaD. Though I bought it around the same time I did Souvlaki (a
steal at $3.75!!!), I much prefer the latter two.

Pygmalion is the name of an opera, I believe. I've been know to be wrong
(it could be a play or a musical -- it's some stage production at any rate,
and a classic at that.) Anyway, I'm sure some English or music major will
follow with a longer explanation.

Well, I hope this helps. Somebody over on the MBV list stated
this was a bootleg cd of a live performance in Osaka Japan that came out
shortly after "Loveless" was released. I also heard it was a pre-Bilinda
album that came out that is only worth it for the true collectors.
Whatever that means. Anyway, I hope this helps.

Having listened to JFAD again for the first time in ages as well, it
sounded really, er...1991. The production on it is just like the third
EP, only slicker and the guitar stands out a bit more here and there.
Of course, that was when Neil was in his "I've got a Quadraverb and
I'm gonna use it!" phase.

...but before George Bernard Shaw, it was a movie with Rex Harrison,
Audrey Hepburn and the voice of Julie Andrews...
