of siddal (on bedazzled). ....speaking of, bedazzled has a bunch of new
stuff coming out. new mistle thrush, a compilation, (these two came into
the radio station here...too bad the music director hasn't been around so
i can give them a good listen) new an april march, and one other dreampop
band. enlighten us steve.

sorry. i too was disappointed cause im a huge jfad
fan.. nothing has topped it, until now.. i think
_ask me tomorrow_ is pretty equal... neil is an amazing
songwriter and thats one of the reasons that slowdive
is so good... but as far as wall of sound.. nope. but
i think youll live when you hear it.. the closest it comes
to that is the last song "mercy" where there is a wall of
piano, gui, and some choir-esqe vocals that sound like a string
section... oh yea. cello is sprinkled here and there quite nicely.

"love songs on the radio" good tune... but definately
not the strongest on the album. there is not a single bad song
though...

Arggh, do any of you people with connections wanna volunteer to make
a few hundred copies for the poor listmembers who are supposed to wait
three or four more months to get it?
I'd volunteer to wear down my tape deck making copies but i don't have
a copy of the record. Gimme!

actually as soon as possible. i have been scouring the local used bins for
a mojave promo but have found nothing. besides, honestly i think austin
used cd stores suck compared to what i've found in boston and houston
(yeah, yeah, yeah, i just spent the weekend and some cash there, so that
hellhole has one redeeming quality). i am willing to pay top reasonable
dollar for a cd promo of this new work, unless it is only out on cassette,
which believe me i'll settle for.
i can say this with ease: i went to waterloo, an austin rekkid store, last
thursday and they had 3, count em, 3 copies of slowdive's very first ep. i
put one on hold but i wasn't here this weekend, so i am going back there
tomorrow. they are $9.99 apiece. if anyone is in dire need of one, email me
soon before they are gone.
i need my avalyn ii, if they are gone when i get there manana morning there
will be hell to pay,

Just informing you listies of what offers to entertain regarding the post on
the limited ed.
I payed $25 for my copy (which isn't much more than the reg. CD) in Chicago
about two months ago. It was in mint.
God, I hate this bidding crap!
I thought I'd let you guys know what the market will bear before you go
offering upwards of $100 for it. Don't get ripped off!

Back when "Echoes in a Shallow Bay" and "Tiny Dynamine" were released, I
remember one of the Cocteaus saying then that the reason they released two
12" singles rather than an LP was that they didn't want people to think
that it was their new direction. I was quite pleased about that because I
thought then (and still do) that those two EPs are the nadir of the 4AD
Cocteaus.

anybody bought / seen this yet? (it's a new compilation, probably to
raise money for xfm, and indie radio station in london currently sans
licence, some of the contents of which is kind of relevant to this
list).
if so, could you post a tracklist of something, the advert i've seen
only has a list of bands. specifically interested in boo radleys, mary
chain and stereolab tracks.
thankyou,

hey whoever was asking
there is no bonnie and clyde single but there is a promotional three track
sampler for pentehouse which contains a bonus remix of bonnie and clyde, the
unlisted pentehouse song...both versions are excellent, im leaning toward the
acousticy one on the single as of right now, but of course my opinion is ever
volatile....

Now she just sounds like Taylor Dane.
Alternative my ass.
I'll add my voice in recommending the new Labradford album.
Excellent stuff, and a bit more dynamic than the previous.
Also everyone should check out Mauve Sideshow for some really strange
but very compelling music.

yes praise indeed. it seems that the only stuff i listen to during the

I find that Slowdive's sound has changed on every release, even from
"Slowdive/Avalyn" to "Morningrise". "Pygmalion" was quite different from
what came before, but I think it was a very positive step; "Just For A
Day" and even "Souvlaki" were dead-ends in a way. I'm looking forward to
hearing Mojave...

Over the weekend, I parted with a number o' cds at the the local CD
Warehouse for credit, and amongst my purchases for said credit were
"Heavenly Voices" I-III (Hyperion), compilations chock full of thislisty
artists, and avowedly dedicated to the beauty of teh female voice. Each
is quite good, though if I had to pick one, it would be II presently.
I was already familiar with a few of the featured artists: Love Spirals
Downward alt. mixes on I and III are very like the album versions. The
new Moon 7 Times track is in my fave style of theirs (sans drums), while
Stoa and Love is Colder than Death still are missing a crucial element in
treading the same territory as Dead Can Dance. LCD get more credit, as
they seem to play less to the goth-medievalist pretense crowd. I'll
probably give their albums (briefly listened to in a shop) another chance.
I wish Miranda Sex Garden would try more tracks in the style presented on
III. I find their recent output to be dominated by, "Yes, I have a voice
major, but I can still screech with the best of them" exercises...
A few of the new artists immediately stand out:
Collection d'Arnell Andrea (on II) - Wow, like a mix of Anneli's (Bel
Canto) leaping vocal on "Spiderdust" with the kaleidoscopish arrangements
of "Kiss in the Dreamhouse". I think their Villers Aux Venis album did
very well on last year's 4ad-L poll, but I had yet to hear them. Definite
Cocteux ear-candy. Ear/Rational carries four albums by them: Au Val des
Roses, Les Marrionniers, Un Automine a Loroy, and Villers Aux Venis. How
do they compare? Which should I check out first?
Malka Spiegel (on I) - Dubbed out female vocalisms over shuffling trip-hop
beat. Colin Newman's wife (he colaborates) commands this style, as I
like this more than similar efforts by the Bristol bands. She has an
album out, entitled Rosh Ballata. Is it similar? I've read that Swim
(Newman's label) revolved around minimalist electronics. Anyway, my
growing taste for techno is vindicated (if it needed any) by Colin
Newman's involvement in the field.
Mellona Tauta (on I) - Very nicely integrated classical instrumentation.
Terrific melodic understated vocals. Somber. Do they have an album?
Sleeping Dogs Wake (on II) - Um, now that I sitting here, all I can
remember is a guitar ostinato that sent shivers. Again, how do their
albums (Threnody, Understanding, Under the Stars) compare?
Other pressing questions:
Projekt's net associates have yet to send me a catalogue...does anyone
have their net address?
I couldn't find Lanterna's (M7X side project) CD in the net Parasol
catalog. Is there an alternate source. (I'd order from Henry directly,
but I've left his email address at my last account as well...
Thanks for any advice you can provide...

i'm sorry, but there is a single for 'bonnie and clyde'. i own it. i also have
the three track promo that you are talking about. the official single has a
picture of a gun on the front and contains two versions of 'bonnie...',
'china town', and another song not included on the album. i don't know if it's
import only, or domestic only... i can't remember how much i paid or if it is on
electra(i think that's there american label). if i remember, i will bring it to
work tomorrow and post all the important information from the disc. the record
store that i frequent has at least two more copies on disc and one on 12".

the next week. WE have the announcements at Tower Rex, so I'll try and
