Hi,

I've just heard a rumour that a lot of 4AD's artists are recording
covers nowadays and that Ivo is often seen in the control-rooms.
Is he preparing a new V/A? Does anybody know what's happening?

Cheerio,

How about the Interview Picture disc( vinyl, unopened) for 11$ plus
postage through this list.  I then traded a 6$ cd for the Interview
Picture disc( CD).  I figured it would be imposible to find either of
those, since they are also rare.  I am still looking for another vinyl
Interview Picture disc because the picture is different on the two
sides.  They will be framed and put up on my wall.

I read an interview with IVO, probably over a year ago now, in which he said
there would be no more TMC albums.  He also said, however, that he would be
working on a similar new project with a new name.

Maybe that's what's going on.

I have a poor copy of it so that I can't even tell if it's live or not.
It is definitely before Bilinda but the style is closer to the two grey
eps which preceded Isn't Anything. Fun stuff, singing isn't too bad. Not
really worth $50 but not nearly as awful as the one mentioned below:

This is a perfect description. It should also be noted that Kevin Shields
seems to have played a minimal part on the record, as he is credited
third and hopefully did even less thanhe is credited for. I think the guy
who is now their drummer (or was, did we ever clear up if they broke up
or not?) wrote most of it. But I am going from memory here. Awful
artwork, too.

I assume this is worth something. What?

WoJ doesn't really lack melody; it's just dissonant. I personally
recommend Forever, which isrich with groovy strumming and nice overlaid
melody, not too screechy except in a few places. Loved is musically
pretty unstatisfying. Very sing-songy, like Nick Cave or Barney. (And
this, ladies and gentlemen, is where the unknown assassin enters stage
left and slashes my throat to the tune of much applause.)

How about flaming for flaming? Or being off-topic about being off-topic.
Marvelous how discussing off-topic is so on-topic. Not like dumb ol' IDM,
where I can only get flamed by people who disagree with and hate me.

YMMV. 8)

hear hear

I have a few Cocteax questions to add here, if anyone is still reading...

1. Is the Tiny/Echoes bundle still in print?

2. Where in the US can one find the UK box set (or anything with thin
cases and inserts that aren't naturally creased nor tend to get caught in
the hinge)?

Christ, I said the same thing a few days ago. You aren't mocking me, are
you? Is this not a *classic* Kaspel lyric? I can almost hear him singing
it (even with this awful MBV record on)..."She cwihmed so hieeeeeeyyy!!"
him on occasion.)

This isn't exactly the case, I don't think. They tend to slip in and out
of periods of self-indulgence and musical brilliance, almost like two
opposite cleansing/purging rituals in a violent dance. Not that the self
indulgence is never brilliant, but they have had their bad days. The same
goes for the everemotional bilge of The Lovers (which I realy liked,
actually). Sheila Liked the Rodeo was awful...

Personal favorites are Any Day Now, Island of Jewels, Faces in the Fire,
and The Maria Dimension. 9 Lives to Wonder was also quite a comeback
after Malachai and its equally unworthy twin. They are definitely a band
in flux, and you do have to take the bad with the good.

I have not heard, nor been able to find, Four Days. Can you clue me in a
little?

Really? Since WHEN?  I'm looking at the original vinyl release
of CAD 211
and it has EIGHT (8) tracks ONLY.

Later pressings of the album (on CD and cassette) included 4
extra Peel
Sessions tracks from January 1983, as well as the first two
singles, "Speak
No Evil" and "Perhaps Some Other Aeon", making that a total of
14, which
is still not 13.

The extra track is also on the CD version and appears to be a dreary jam
session put on the album for kicks.

Has anyone heard the RHP song included on the soundtrack to a movie coming
out soon (i forgot the damn title)?  For that matter, since I'm a sucker
for any RHP material, does anyone know of other releases besides the 4
albums out?

I don't know if anyone cares, but I saw RHP and Heidi Berry at the
Birchmere in VA 9/93.  It was a great show. "Japanese to English" and
"Dragonflies" were the standouts.  Waiting for the next tour.
