i heard somewhere that he was the son of jean renoir, a famous French
artist.. i could be wrong..
i'm pretty sure he also directed the b/w film "orphee" (orpheus); i saw it,
and it's pretty much in the same style as "beauty and the beast".. jean
marais was in it too..it was very cool..
i think he wrote stuff too.

This is the same Atlantic that finally made it possible to puchase Stina

They also, to my knowledge, are the only label left in the world that has

Jean Cocteau was many things but he is most famous for directing many early
French films including Beauty and the Beast, Orpheus, Testament of Orpheus,
and Blood of a Poet (those are the ones i can think of offhand).  They
contain much dreamlike imagery and perhaps even an artistic/philosophical
investigation of dreaming but i wouldn't call him a dream researcher (i may
be wrong).  I recommend the films to anyone who isn't put off by subtitles
or now-antiquated, special effects.

I'm not sure what you mean.  If you are asking if TWP has officially
released Christianity as a single...then yes, there is even a video
of it (which is really cool, I might ad).  If you mean, will there
be another single release after this...I don't know.

        Jean Cocteau was a film director/author/artist in the 1920s/30s.
"Beauty and the Beast" is a classic film, recently adapted to an opera by
Phillip Glass.  Cocteau also wrote several great plays, books, and poems
including "L'Enfant Terribles" and "Le Livre Blanc", a beautifully sad
book about being homosexual.
        On the back of The Smith's _Hatful of Hollow_ the "cover star"
has a tattoo of a drawing by Jean Cocteau.

Anyone heard of the 7" 4AD Spring '95 promo called "Joe Friday"?  I saw

several multi-colored dildos on it.  It's three tracks... one by
Licorice, one by Red House Painters and one by Kendra Smith.  I think
that the Red House Painters song is the only one that's available on the

You'd better knock on wood.  Atlantic is easily the most corrupt label in
a country full of them.  They have a nasty reputation for signing bands,
not promoting them, watching the album(s) flop, and then taking all the
funds for themselves as expense incurred for the production & promotion
of said album(s), and then leaving the bands in debt to the label.
Frankly, I fear for the worst.

Hey, i sort of resent that.  I used to work in the promotions and marketing
department at Atlantic as an intern.  I'd like to think that i did
something productive!!  Granted, the people i worked with liked the idea
of their jobs, more than the actual work involved, but they were very nice
people.  I really wouldn't know what goes on in the "big office" when
deals are made.  Admittedly, i think they do need a bigger promotions
department, especially for their alternative bands, because their bigger
acts like Tori Amos and the whole Jimmy Page and Robert Plant schpiel don't
need as much promotion.  The alternative department is really small and
could use a lot of help.
Did i work for a really nasty corporation?

oh my god.   shaking, i unwrap the plastic off of the cd, fedex'ed to me
today.    the packaging, once again, is incredible.

here is a description of halo ten: further down the spiral:

NINE INCH NAILS HALO TEN: further down the spiral   95811-2

tracks

 1 piggy (nothing can stop me now)
 2 the art of self destruction, part one
 3 self destruction, part two
 4 the downward spiral (the bottom)
 5 hurt (quiet)
 6 eraser (denial; realization)
 7 at the heart of it all
 8 eraser (polite)
 9 self destruction, final
10 the beauty of being of numb
11 erased, over, out

packaging

 normal jewel case...  liner notes are a 2-page thing, printed in color
on both sides.  the cover is a coiled rope ontop of some blue/gray marble.
the back cover is a zoom-in of the end of the rope (which is not seen on the
front.. i.e. you can put the liner notes below the back cover and they
overlap)

1 is just the rick rubin remix... 2 is stunning, so is 3.  4 is haunting.
very fixed-ish.  nothing like halo 9 or halo 3's remixes with just a new beat
track.   the coil mixes are beyond belief.   it flows too, just like tds.
it was worth the wait.

..  i realy hope this clears up a lot of stuff for everyone.

Yeah, I'd like to know this too. Christianity T-shirts were being hawked

It's maybe a bit off-topic, but the list did discuss Cabaret Voltaire
recently so...  My only similar experience was around 1984, when I picked
up CV's 1974--1976 Industrial tape was a standard record store for about a
quid ($1.50).  I guess they'd had it for years, couldn't sell it (not many
people know that it's very rare, desirable and worth a few bob) and were
just discounting it more and more.

There's ten times the technological trickery on 4CC than on "Garlands".
They're using a bit less of it than on prior releases, but that's not
intrinsically a good thing.

As I've said before, the ironclad reason I have for hating her turn to
intelligible lyrics is that they are not _her_ lyrics. They are mostly just
platitudes recycled from "codependency", "recovery" self-help books. They do
not convey any original ideas, they just show the kind of psychobabble she's
been reading. If you think this is an exaggeration, just page through some of
those books at a store or library; I don't recommend you actually pay money
for them. It bothers me because there is no originality to getting your
answers verbatim out of a book; it's the therapeutic equivalent of listening
to Bon Jovi. If there's anything that ties together the artists we celebrate
on this list, it's their devotion to making new sounds and new ideas, things
that seem odd and alien at first but draw you in as much as they scare you.
That's exactly the reaction I had to "Head Over Heels" and "Lullabies", and
I'll never forget it. It's what the Cocteaux seem to have explicitly
repudiated in the last few years.

If it helps Liz's personal life to read these books and write these kinds of
lyrics, that's great for her. But there's no reason I have to like or admire
the lyrics for themselves.

Jean Cocteau was a Surrealist avant garde poet/ filmmaker; he made the classic
film of "Beauty And The Beast" ("La Belle et la Bete") in the '30s(?).
The Surrealists did believe in the primacy of dreams and visionary
experiences, but they would have sneered at the term "researcher". They were
not interested in anything as orderly as research.

I'd like to think that Surrealism was a major influence on the Cocteau Twins,
but I don't know for sure. The most blatant user of Surrealism in the 4AD
roster was definitely the Pixies -- not only does "Debaser" mention by name
Dali and Bunuel's film "Un Chien d'Andalou", but the photography on their
albums (by that guy whose last name I can never spell) is very, very
Surrealist-inspired. Compare it with Man Ray's photography sometime.

Subject:      Elysium

Hi, all.
I was given a chance to hear the forthcoming album (Dewdrops 004) by Elysium,
and thought I'd give you the down n' dirty (okay, not so down and anything
but dirty) on this fantastic release. It really is a special piece of music.
Sort of a long-winded post, I know. But I was doing it track-by-track and as
I was listening, so it's uncensored and in "real-time". Bear with me. The
band is worth it! :-)
>"glistening ganache" - HOLV-era Cocteau Twins - only five-ten-fiftyfold
better!!! The guitars meander and sparkle like Dif Juz, the vocals are
emotion
al, beautifuly layered; they strive for complex harmonies and arrangements,
with brilliant success. "Glistening" is the perfect word for this sun-kissed,
yet vaguely disturbing, song.
>"soledad" - True the title, I hear a Spanish influence. Brings to mind a
more mature Sundays, but there's far more going on under the surface. Lovely
picking over a riveting bassline, and almost military percussion. There is
something urgent here - almost like "goth-lite", but without the bitter
aftertaste... The chimes(?) near the end add a sense of elegance and
melanchol
y. A little reminiscent of LSD (as in "Love's Labour's Lost), but this is far
more driving. Maybe just a /bit/ overlong, but great anyways. Two-for-two.
>"proud man" - More Dif Juz guitars, maybe a touch of Slowdive in the
background drone. The vocals melt over everything, with a bit of sun-burnt
warpage. When she does that double-harmony thing, it really can take your
breath away... And look! Fraser-esque acrobatics. But not as outspoken. They
have a wonderful sense of subtlety. Nothing bludgeons you. But it's too
immediate to slip unnoticed into the background. Reminds me ever so slightly
of Belly's "Low Red Moon". Same hushed and hazy feeling. I think this is much
better, though. 3 - for - 3.
>"dulcinea" - (This had BETTER not remind me of Toad the Bland Sprocket...)
She sounds quite a bit like Suzanne Vega on this track. But the music is less
rushed, yet simultaneously casual and intimate. While stripping the sound
down to an acoustic guitar seems to detract from the walls of beauty on
earlier tracks, this is just as powerful. And miles-removed from
singer/songwriter banality. Is it my imagination, or is her voice unnaturally
perfect? :-) And credit goes to anyone who can make an acoustic guitar
resembl
e a sax solo (at the end). They're 4/4 so far.
>"the road" - Ahh... back to the full-band sound that I love so much.
Fleeting impressions of Kristin Hersh, both in vocal quality and in lyrical
content. Actually, this track is the most average of all I've
heard so far. It's still pretty, and is far better than the best songs by
many other groups. But, by the standard set by the earlier songs, it almost
doesn't measure up. I'm not going to complain, though. 4 5/7out of 5  - round
it up to 5/5!
>"i was a child" - mmmmm.... that's more like it! Skipping beat, noisy drone
in the distance, creative drums. I think we have another winner here. Makes
me think of jumping rope or playing hopscotch in the rain. Maybe it's the
'chi
ld' in the title. The chorus sounds a little like Siouxsie. But [Elysium]
doesn't pile unnecessary filigree, out-of-place dance beats, or bombast on
their haunting songs. They don't have to - a well written song speaks for
itself. And this song speaks loud and clear. six for six. (read: one whole
side during which I kept far far away from the FFWD button!)

>"sweetly said" - The chord changes remind me of Orange. But I know this is
not them, because I can hear every syllable being sung! Not that
unintelligibilty is a bad thing... This song is vaguely jazzy, in an
acceptable way. I can think of any 'audience' that would find it offensive,
except maybe for the NIN-HELMET-PANTERA crowd. But what do they know about
music anyways!?! Elysium manage the laudable task of keeping everything far
removed from 'tweeness'. The titles would have you thinking otherwise. :-)
  7 for 7
>"first thought" - The drummer is certainly inventive. And that's not one of
the first things I tend to notice in a group. A little more of that jazzy
guitar interplay, but this time it's tempered with a tasty bit of dissonance.
I miss the vocals, but if all the instrumentals were this good, I wouldn't
care. Is that a violin? If not, the guitarist has managed to wring incredibly
dulcet tones from his(?) instrument. There's more feeling in these sparse
notes than any long, winding, raging, boring guitar solo could ever convey.
Wait... I do miss the vocalist. I hope she'll be back, soon...   8/8.
>"close to the end" - my 'first thought' is "But I don't want this to end!"
Sp
anish guitar, a little noise. Drifting, drowsy, dreamy... delicious! Could be
a dream fusion of She Never Blinks and MBV, as unlikely (and unwieldly) as
that sounds. That sudden elec. guitar outburst brings a sudden rush of
memories to mind - all of them dated "Early 4AD"! Can't you see TMC covering
this? Or Liz singing her heart out over this? I hear the shadows of M. Brook
and his "infinite guitar", too. Over far too soon. I'm tempted to subtract a
point for that... But this instrumental was so riveting that only now did I
realize that it WAS an instrumental, so.... 9 out of 9.
(is this a short track, or a continuation of the last one?) - The vocalist is
back! And I welcome her with open arms!!! The fuzzy guitar gives me a feeling
of great warmth. Cozy and comforting, a blanket of sound to keep you warm on
a cold winter night. Again, too short. But why carp?
>"calm peril" - This is the sound that people like Sarah McLachlan(sp?)
are always striving for, and always fail to achieve.
Maybe it's because the subtle music and the cool calm of the vocals doesn't
scream at you. This is as sweet a lullaby as I have ever heard. 10 out of 10
>"in times..." - Tel Basta, anyone? But where are the chimes and gongs? And
the Eastern percussion. No, this is a very different animal. A very honeyed
and graceful animal. Ooh - crescendos ...To where? We're building up to
something big, folks! Can it get any better? I think this is one of my
favorite tracks so far! Early Disco-Inferno guitar (always a good thing!) and
faint echoes of Dif Juz again. While certain idiots might accuse the vocalist
of being overly theatrical, I couldn't disagree more! She gives strength and
life to every song and to every word. Never did quite 'explode', by the way.
Just sailed out gracefully and sweetly. But I'm not one to complain. This
band doesn't seem to be about doing 'big and showy'. No floridity here. Just
great music! 11 out of 11. impossible!

While I love Orange's album, I wouldn't rate it nearly as high as this.
It's up there with the best of the year thusfar ("Pygmalion", "Succor",
"Music for the Amorphous Body..." ... hmm, it's been a slow year!)

To fans of Bettie Serveert, I was wondering if any of you would recommend
getting Lamprey or Palomine.  I kinda liked "Crutches" and "Ray ray rain"
as well as "Kid's alright" but how do the albums compare?

Of course, the relation to 4AD is that Palomine was released on Guernica.
