Nobody seems to have mentioned these two new UK promos that are available;
FTWW 23 4 track 12" promo for "Facing The Wrong Way" sampler
(Amps/Mojave/Air Miami/Scheer)
1 AMP 1 track 7" promo for ??? (same track both sides)
I did bring the details with me but I seem to have lost them,

I've just subscribed to 4AD-L, so hi everyone.
A couple of questions.
1) Did anybody see Throwing Muses on the recent short tour with Air Miami? I
heard that they played half a set of new material. Does anybody know what the
songs were, or have any comments about them?
2) What's with Warren these days? It's been two and a half years since the last
HNIA LP. Are we to be rewarded soon for our patience?
While I'm here, I can recommend the Tarnation LP to anyone out there who hasn't
yet heard it, and what I've heard of the new Mojave album is exceptional too.

The last date I got was from Simon Raymonde, and that date was Sept 25
(UK Retail). The last US date I was given was Sept 26. As far as I know,
the Sept 26 date has not changed. At the very least, you'd have to buy
the import if you didn't want to wait for US release.

Hello fellow listies!
My wife and I are taking a trip to New York City for Columbus Day weekend.
I am planning on taking some CD buying money to look for some things (like
import of Ricochet Days) and was wondering if any NYC people on the list
can tell me where THEY go to buy their stuff.
I am also looking for any record store that sells promo CDs (I want to find
that Liquorice remix promo!!) and a record store that sells FAX releases.
Any help that you helpful people could give would help me out a whole
helpful lot. I have Bob Gajarsky's internet guide to record stores in
Greenwich Village, just need to match these places with what they have in
terms of 4AD stuff and imports and promos.
Before I go, can I put a pitch in for IDAHO? I found year after year in the
cutout bin last month, and I listen to it a few times a week. It has the
slow plodding feel of Red House Painters, but the focus is on the swirling
mass of guitar-work instead of crafting melodies. The whole CD has a
brilliant feel to it. The vocals sound like that Gira guy from the
Swans. This is the 90's version of The Cure's "Pornography", in terms of
bleak, haunting melodies and overall dark cloud hanging over it.

well, i'm glad some of you at there enjoyed them. they played in

At least CT discussions have some relation to the topic of 4AD Records.
This is a general theological debate, and as such is OFF-TOPIC. I do hit

That's fine. So conduct this discussion on one of the alt.christnet
newsgroups. My point was that I've always been under the impression that
where the Internet was concerned, there were certain mutually agreed upon
rules, and one was that specific newsgroups, discussion groups and
mailing lists were for particular topics and lengthy off-topic
discussions were frowned upon. So I'm frowning.
BTW I don't like religion any more than you do.

But the difference is, the Big Bang by itself is not a creative force,
merely an exploding one. BTW, I am aware that the Big Bang has been
definitively proven by the fact that all galaxies are hurtling outward
from a historical central point. Apparently this is the way God brought
the universe into being.

You are absolutely correct. The argument for God does not begin
and end teleologically.

Do you realize that you're basing this assumption on your own
self-interest? Wouldn't it be nice if God just left us alone to do our
own thing? Well, sorry, but it doesn't make any sense to me for God to
make the universe and then just let it sit there. God's movements in
history have been well-established by history as found in the Bible (not
an iota of which anyone can disprove, and if it WERE false, wouldn't the
opposing side find SOMETHING to disprove?), culminating in Christ's
resurrection. By now of course you will begin to protest most shrilly,
because I have dared to invoke the one miracle by which all the other
ones before and after base their meaning. This makes you very uncomfortable.

That is certainly true--there is much more evidence which demands
a verdict than purely 'scientific', or quanitifiable ones. However, I am
not convinced that the majority of people on this list would like this to
be carried that far.

Wow! I had no idea RHP used so many different tunings! Not a
single song in standard tuning...I guess that explains a lot of things,
like when I've tried to sit down and learn a song and couldn't find the
chords. Do Mark Kozelek and Gordon Mack use the same tunings at the same
time, then?
And how did you figure out what tunings they were using??

Because it's true. I've already made up my mind, ultimately based
upon personal life experience which nothing you can say can refute. And
likewise, you've already made up your mind, and whatever explanations or
arguments I try to put forward, you will have some defense, factually
based or not, against them. Don't pretend you're on the side of
objectivity. No one is. Everyone makes their own decision regardless of
the 'facts'.

Use some short-term memory. The point was certainly not to
'impress my beliefs' on others. It started with my explaining what I
meant by 'if there's no God, why are there atheists', which of course no
one could understand who didn't already believe in God (I assume NO ONE
on this list, not exactly a cross-section of society). Then other people
saw fit to point out why I was full of crap and so I had to defend myself.
As for organized religion in history, it has certainly been USED
to very negative consequences, i.e. the Spanish Inquisition, etc.
Government has also been abused by power-hungry despots, but that's no
basis for resorting to anarchy. Can you give specific examples of how
religion continues to be "the single most negative force"?
And do you realize that your blanket condemnation of all
religious people could, in the wrong hands, be used someday for, oh, say,
genocide? Hitler believed Jews were the single most negative force in
history, and look what he did to them.

Same for me w/Fripp & Eno's "Index of Metals." One thing that always
bugged me about Fripp's "Frippertronics" stuff is that it tends to be
largely consonant--"Index" is one of the few that goes instead toward
dissonance. I think it also has the distinction of including the world's

Oh really? What ARE Slowdive's influences then? Neil may or may not have
been aware of the song, but as I already said, the entire band hates or is
at least indifferent to Siouxsie except for Rachel (I read this in an
interview with Rachel). I suppose this also explains why Slowdive's
eponymous first single was not a cover. The Cocteaus didn't actually know
who Cocteau was when they started, so anything can happen.

Exactly! Given that the month-day-year order is used only in the US, it
seems a little arrogant to expect everyone to use it. For a truly backwards
system, try the Japanese method: year-month-day. For a foolproof variant on
the European notation, you could always use the Hungarian version, putting
the number of the month in Roman numerals (e.g. today is 23.IX.95), but then
all of this is a futile as trying to convince Americans to use the metric
system or get them to understand the 24-hour clock...
And enough with the metaphysics already!

Does anyone out there have a copy (good preferably) of the CT videos for
Evangeline or Cico Bluff, I have compiled a tape with all except these.
I have never seen them and they don't seem to be in the MTV archives, but
the FAQ claims that they exist and being the 4AD completist that I am I
would like to get all of them on tape. I would be willing to send anyone
who has both or either of these, a tape with all of the videos once I
complete it.
Later,
James

>> Anyone heard any more bands on the 4AD label that sounds like DeadCan
Dance /
>> This Mortal Coil / Cocteau Twins except from His Name Is Alive ?
I love the above three and one of the few other groups that I would rate
up there with these is An April March, they have an album and an EP and
another album on the way (I think).
Oops I just re-read your mail, they're not on 4AD thy're on Cartwheel or
somesuchthing, Sorry.
all be so happy!)

Please, please, please, please dear God (or whatever/ whomever) no more of
this! If I see yet another download with a "no 4AD content" appendage...
and as for the other, this message was posted on 23-9-95 at 18:56.
So as to not cheat you people (that is if you haven't already deleted this
little post), I would really like to know the whereabouts of Colourbox (what
is this Colourbox 2 business). Contrary to most of the people on this here
little newsgroup, I LOVE THEM and M | A | R | R | S (a lot).
I'm really just babbling, it's just that I didn't want to cheat anyone out of
the thrill of seeing material actually related to 4AD posted (since this is
the subject we're supposed to be discussing). I don't even mind the
occasional stoopid Cure question (unless it pertains to anything before
"Pornography"). At least it relates to music.
At any rate whoever knows the whereabouts of COLOURBOX, let me know.
Gracias,

I do know that Martin Hannet (fifth member of Joy Division some would say) is
no longer with us (i.e. dead). I am inquiring as to the circumstances
surrounding his departure. Someone please oblige. His production style has
reared its beautiful head on some of the tracks on ME ME ME (most notably
"World Cup Fever" and that space instrumental thangie that I can never
remember the name of).

If I remember correctly, he died of a heart attack.

Massive heart attack, circa 1991 or so? A few years back, at least. I think
I have the NME commemorative issue stashed away somewhere in me closet, but
that'd take a gigantic effort to look for it.

Actually, about a good third of 'Me. Me. Me.' is tres Hannett-esque, n'est-ce
pas? But then again, Mssr. Robinson seems to have been quite a Fac-freak
since day one (day two, at least) - cases in point: the Unrest 'Factory
Record' and all the hububeelzebubba wif Cath Carroll.
Nonetheless, I, for one, am extremely amused/pleased with the Air Hannett,
erm, Miami album. So there.
Cheers,
