No, the report was of a Clifford/Fraser project, not the new Cocteaus
album.  Found "Ancient Lights and the Blackcore", compilation which
includes three new Seefeel tracks, at the weekend.  One long Scorn
track, three so-so Seefeel pieces (one of which is very short), a
recording by David Toop of a lot of South American Shamen shouting and
shuffling, and something by Timothy "having cancer is great" Leary which
I haven't got round to listening to yet.  One for obsessive Seefeel fans
only, I think.  Comes from that well known nation of occult shamanic
ritual, Belgium.

        about $67, including $5 charge for each tix, and mailing (that i was
        a bit confused about).  anyway, i just cancelled the whole thing,
        and walked to my fave disc store, and bought my two tix for only
        $57.50 (doh, a mere $9.5 save, but that will most likely be a poster

the point in this post is, tixmazterz is evil.  :)  avoid them if u can.

Hi Everyone,

so i am in london now and met up with Robin sevearl times. Internet
access at a cafe is rather expensive, so i'll be brief.Expect some sort
of internet broadcast of a live session. There will also be a mini video
on enhanced CD along with one of the singles. Once i get some more
details and have free internet access at\ their studio, i'll report some
more. BUt please don't write to the cocteaus and ask them about these
projects. I am not sure i am even suppose to be saying this shit, but oh
well. Anyway, i am no longer on the list, so email me personally if you
want or need somehing.

Sorry if I've been sleeping under a rock someplace, but has anyone published
a list of Lisa Gerrard tour dates and locations?  I've been seeing a lot
of posts to the 4AD mailing list regarding purchasing tickets, but I have
no idea what dates or where she's touring.  Can someone help?

...or at least let me know when and where she'll be in the San Diego/LA area
(preferably San Diego).

Thanks,

Lisa Gerrard live is more of an intimate affair. More
like a chamber orchestra plus vocalist than a full blown
Dead Can Dance concert. If you like her music, then
prepare to be swept off your feet. But don't expect ANY
Dead Can Dance numbers. At AVAM and the shows after it,
her performances were all new solo material, and I would
imagine it's going to be exactly the same this time.

Subject: Review of Live Pram/Laika show


Pure Showcase + Friends

[Disclaimer, other than hearing Laika's album, I am very
unfamilar with any of these bands. I will not even attempt a set
list. Sorry.]

I arrived as the second band of the evening, Pram were setting
up. In the background was playing some wicked dub electronic wild
beats. Later I found out it was a DJ spinning, but just what I
don't know. Anyways, it helped set the atmosphere of the evening
- the groove.

Pram was a bunch of weirdos. Female singer, drummer a cheap trick
look alike, and the guitarist in a glittery shirt. Plenty of
other instruments and players on the stage. Previously I had only
heard good things about the band from newsgroups and mailing
lists. First the positives, an incredibly tight band, good
players, weird sounds. The result? The most serious fun band I've
heard in a long time! Their sound was just insane, crazyness from
all around. Very much an outer space type of vibe. They put on a
show which made me laugh and dance at the same time. From the
first chord, my smile did not leave until they left the
stage. What is even better was they were the cosmic
groovers. Really fun *AND* funny stuff. A GREAT live show - see
them if you get a chance and have a good laugh. It feels good.

Next the DJ spinning some more wicked dub/groove/electronics -
dunno, was this one of the Juggle DJs from the Monday night
party, Konkrete Jungle? Gotta find out as he was playing some
wicked stuff - funky and *hard*.

Jessamine was the band with no eyes. Pretty much the whole gig,
all the band memebers (that I could see) had their eyes
closed. Not horrible, as they were playing some lovely drone, but
still not very charismatic at the same time. They actually had a
great set - again, very groovey - out of this world bliss type
music. Drone, but punctuated by drums, etc. Loved that Moog
though - great sound quality.

DJ break again while equiptment was broken down and Laika's set up.
Also this time a graphical interlude - like the old blotter
projections. This looked weird against the wetlands mural of a
pond scene with crane and all.

Laika were also a very spacy type of rhymthic band. Sadly the set
was plagued by sound problems, vocals slowly becoming inaudible,
and instruments gradually disappearing from the mix. However, no
one in the audience let that bother them and those on-stage
started joking about it eventually. As CMJ is a media event,
flashes were going off like fireworks ever few mins. I never can
understand how musicians can not be bothered by the constant
picture taking at these shows! Very boucy, syth lead songs - with
rumba and similar keyboard beats leading live drums, hand-drums,
guitar and bass. Again, monster grooves which just cary you. Live
Laika was excellent. I was even more impressed as I haven't quite
gotten the hang of the album yet. Fun lead singer, elven like -
cute skull-cap.

Last up was Sea and Cake. To complete the evening, this was
anther groove heavy band. However, the vocals set me off, it was
getting late, I needed to go to work in the morning and things
were not clicking. They seemed like a fine band, but the out of
this world sound effects were missing and it just didn't seem to
fit. I'm sure their a wonderful band, and I'll probably make sure
to see them live again in the future. However, the night was over
by then.

Again, three really good live bands with a outer space type
groove. Don't miss this line-up if they are touring near you at all!
