Hi all
I'll put the first two Throwing Muses cds (4AD imports) up for auction.
Anyone who is interested should just e-mail me ([email protected]). I'll
gladly provide track listings and other fun info, too.
THROWING MUSES - s/t
CAD 607 CD
THROWING MUSES - House Tornado / The Fat Skier
(completely different sleeve artwork from Sire version)
CAD 802 CD
I'll consider trades (especially if you have Silvania's "Paisaje III", the
new Cul De Sac, or early Disco Inferno and Butterfly Child singles...), but
I'd prefer $$$...
Tastes change, and a man's got to start saving up for the next Disco Inferno
album. :-)
Thanks for yr time and bandwidth.

"Selected Ambient Works 1" is a collection of soft techno, "SAW 2" is a
collection of *very* ambient stuff (in the original Brian Eno, no drums
and no tunes sense). "Surfing on Sine Waves" (recorded under the
Polygon Window alias for contractual reasons) is a good selection of
styles, "Classics" is early thumping techno, "...I Care Because You Do"
is another varied collection, but with a slightly harder edge than
"Surfing on Sine Waves" - I'd recommend either for beginners. The Aphex
Twin is one man, by the way, Richard James (the "other" Aphex Twin is
now in Link/Reload/Global Communication).
Found Frank Black's "The Black Session" at the weekend, a very
reasonably priced French import, just under an hour of Frank and a
guitar/bass/drums band playing songs from the last album (and one from
his first, and a couple from the Teenage Fanclub-assisted Peel session)
The CD case is black with the details printed directly onto it, and I
guess it's the last FB release to bear the 4AD logo. Pretty good
recording quality, but the band sounds a bit lacklustre - it suffers
from the problem live albums often have, it makes you remember how much
better the studio versions were.
Also in radio session land, Strange Fruit have just released all Can's
sessions from the John Peel show - four sessions from 1973-75, taking
in the last of Damo Suzuki (the first, eighteen minute, track), and the
time before Holger Czukay lost interest. Six songs, but as you might
expect six Can songs fill 66 minutes. Only one of these ("Half Past
One" or "Geheim") is previously released, and the whole album is superb
- I think it's probably the best post-Damo album, certainly as good as
"Soon over Babaluma" or "Landed" (the "official" albums of the same
time, and the last really good ones Can recorded before their "Rite
Time" reunion album in the late eighties)

Greetings,
Firstly, reading the FAQ part 2 the other day I noticed a listing of TAD release
. I think there were 4 -
Lisa Germano, Blowback, Live at the Aquarium and The Curse. My question is the
umber printed.
These are obviously limited but are we talking 5000, 10 000 or more (or less).
In some crappy shop (the equivalent of a Marks & Spencers) in Sweden I saw Blow
ack and I didn't buy it (I hadn't heard blow at that time). I have never seen it
again, and I kick myself repeatedly. I found The Curse in a second hand shop thi
weekend and got my grubby paws on it. (not easy in this part of the world).
What are the chances of finding Live at the Aquarium or Blowback again??
Anybody got a few they wanna part with??
Secondly, I picked up Echoes vol 111 (sisters). Although the quality is less tha
perfect
(to say the least), it was interesting to hear Garden of Delight sung by Eldritc
or First
and Last with totally different wording. I have got vol 11 on tape, but I wanna
uy
the other three on CD too. The label says Life Live (or something). Anyone know
who distributes these boots? Even worse, I've got to try and get these in South
frica.
Have mercy.

Live at the Aquarium is available in the US in an unlimited release.

second pressing, but hey, it's unlimited!)

Wow, volume one hundred and eleven! They're really getting up there. :)

Do you mean including the one you have on tape? Are there a total of four
or five? I've got four. I will look at the place where I bought them
(several years ago, so don't place any bets on it) if you like.

For UK listers,
I got a postcard last week to advertise the new Catherine Wheel single
featuring Tanya Donnely. Swayed by the marketing of the single ie
exclusive tracks, ltd edn 10'', postcards etc I trrundled off into town
today to get it. It has been pulled until next year. Why, I don't know.
Its not as if they're going to get massive airplay or anything. I wasn't
really expecting anything great really - just curious about TD
contribution and also to see how grunge CW have gone.
All was not lost I thought. I still managed to get the new Scheer and
the new Amps.
But having listened to them briefly I'm not impressed AT ALL. I'm trying
desperately hard not join the 'What's gone wrong with 4AD bandwagon' but
at the moment I'm running alongside it.
I Scheer's cat. no is BAD5012 CD and The Amps is BAD 5015 CD who's are
5013 and 5014.

Typing in all-upper case is rude, and makes you look ignorant and
belligerent besides.
"The Pink Opaque" is not an album. It is a compilation. On an album, the
songs are written and ordered to go with one another as a unit. On a
compilation, the "greatest hits" or most-liked songs get thrown onto some
sort of media. See the difference?
"The Pink Opaque" was the second CT recording I ever bought. I still like
listening to it more than I like listening to the individual EPs in the
box set. I am more used to the ordering of TPO. It's still not an album.

I think if you read John's point, your tape, while probably an excellent
collection, is not an "album". Think about taking chapters from a the
great novels in history, or even by the same author. The result is not a
new Novel, but a compilation.

There used to be a guy at Apple (well, there still is, he's just not at
Apple anymore) named Bo3b Johnson. His name is pronounced just plain
"Bob", the "3" is silent. I'm assuming Mojave3 are using the same silent "3".

The canonical story substantiated by Ivo himself is that 4AD is a
contraction of "forward":
forward -> 4ward -> 4ard [British pronunciation] -> 4AD
This is in the FAQ, by the way. http://www.inow.com/~jens/Jens/4AD_FAQ.html

Oh, and word on the Orbital list is that The One World Orchestra
is none other than the KLF! I know not many 4ADers are going to give a
Mu Mu but it is popular culture and that makes it important.
Cheers,
David
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 1995 18:46:08 -0400
Isn't this in the 4AD-L FAQ?
Axis could not be used for legal reasons; there was already a record
label with that name.
"4AD" grew from the following pattern:
1980 Forward
1984ward
4AD
That is the commonly held explanation of how the name originated. I
suppose Mr. Ivo came up with it while doodling absent-mindedly at his
desk one day. Who knows? ;) It would take a stretch for _ME_ to have
gotten 4AD from 1984ward...

I think the best thing about _His Name is Alive Sings Man
on the Silver Mountain and 8 other songs_ is staring endlessly at the
utterly camouflaged text on the disc itself; or, trying to figure out
which way is "up" on the disc (if you're one of THEM); or, maybe
listening to those few songs in a different order; um..

But are the vocals on Path 3 by Liz? They have more of that wailing Lisa

That's far and away their best album. It gave me shivers and fits of
