You can still obtain their "Extractions" CD w/ some bonus tracks from 4AD
mail order in London.  I think it's 11.00 pounds + 1.40 shipping.  The
address is on the FAQ.  I highly recommend this "album" (semantics is
everything).  It is 4AD at the peak of its form.

Still i've got one "Extractions". Correctly saying, this cd isn't same as
lp cos some their early material adding at last. you can easily get it from
'cd connection' or 'cd now' on line.

from track 8-10

8. echo wreck
9. twin and earth
10.guinet
11.soarn
12.hu
13.re

suprisingly, 'echo wreck' (i only heared this on "Lonley is an eysore"CD)
can be heared on this cd.

The Dif Juz CD Extractions is still in print, so you should be able to
order it from any respectable store / mail order / 4AD themselves.

The rest is on out of print vinyl and cassettes. Actually,
Out Of The Trees might still be in print, but I kinda doubt it.

As Jens said, their first US release - the main reason it was released
in the UK was that people were paying ridiculous amounts for imports
because of "Millimillenary" and the remix - a curious transatlantic
reversal of the usual scheme of things.

Bought the Scheer EP yesterday - heavy metal or what?  Iron Maiden were
on "Top of the Pops" the other week, and I thought how weedy and feeble
they sounded - they could do worse than nick Scheer's guitarist.  It's
not the disaster that the Amps single is - "You Said" and "Take You
Anywhere" are quite good songs, but the music!  It conjures up images of
greasy-haired motorbike enthusiasts bobbing their heads in unison and
thinking "pity about the bird doing the vocals, they should get Bruce
Dickinson in and write some lyrics about Satan".  Mind you, Lush's first
release was a "nice try, let's see how they progress" thing, so perhaps
Scheer will see sense, kill their guitarist and make some good records.

for anyone in the san francisco area interested in getting a copy of esp

yesterday i went into aquarius records on 24th street in noe valley, and they
had copies of the esp summer, esp beetles, new grape time and live esp tapes.
they originally had 2 of each, but i bought 1 of each.

they also had the import 10" vinyl, which i think has been mentioned here.  i
don't have a turntable, so i didn't buy that.

so if you want a copy of esp stuff, but don't want to wait for mail order,
head over to aquarius.  if you haven't been there, it's a pretty cool little
store.

No, the track on LIAE was "Alchemy", which isn't available anywhere else.

All Dif Juz stuff should still be in print from 4AD, except their first
self-released cassette(s) which were always damn near impossible to find.
This has been discussed on the list before and to my knowlege nobody had
the cassettes or knew any way to get ahold of them by fair means or foul.

Again, it's the domestic farrago thing.  We just sent them a handful of

Actually, the 10" is very domestic, unless you happen to consider California
and Texas as being two separate, sovereign nations.  :)  And now that I think
about it, the 10" may be considered an import for those residing elsewhere
than these fifty states, but I'm starting to meander here.

And shame on you, Phil, for not owning a turntable!  Ian and Warren are very
disappointed with you!  :)  Actually, the next time you're at Aquarius, ask
Windy to play you their in-store copy of the 10".

Okay, you're right. I made a bad call cuz I was too excited and I liked
them too much, but the new Catherine Wheel album really is a piece of
shit and a sell out. But more central to how rotten it is, I think, is an
apparent breakdown on the workings of the band. Nothing seems to go
together. People seem to be banging on their instruments and screaming
not in harmony but out of frustration. The album is a complete mess,
which is even more inexcusable given the strength of the few good songs
on the album: Heal, Eat My Dust You Insensitive Fuck, and, sort of, Empty
Head. Oh well. Verve are down the drain, too, and Swervedriver seem to
have locked themselves in the ivory tower and thrown away the key. It's
all over. Fuck it. Buy the Jake Slazenger album and live a little. :)

Subject: Nadja [thislisty movie #2]


There's been some discussion of "The Doom Generation" and its
thislisty-heavy soundtrack. (I saw the preview for it, and it might be
good or it might just be a Gen-X remake of "Natural Born Killers". We'll see.)

But! Last night I saw "Nadja", a low-budget-artsy experimental vampire
movie, and knew I'd made the correct choice when, just after the credits,
MBV's "Soon" came on. Unfortunately they didn't use all 8 minutes of it,
but they did also play portions of MBV's "Lose My Breath", Portishead's
"Strangers" and "Roads", and something by Verve. The background music was
some creepy dark ambient stuff.
  The film itself was, as my friend M@ puts it, "deeply flawed" -- it
being understood that this is a compliment of sorts. It's in black and
white, with some sequences, mostly the vampire action, shot in
PixelVision (a very lo-res digital camera originally marketed as a toy
but adopted by various lo-lo-budget filmmakers.) The acting was uneven
but very effective at points, with Nadja herself (the vampire) very much
the eerie undead babe -- the actress who played her has that same
translucent skin that Peter Murphy has. Similarly, the dialog ranged from
overwrought to hilarious to poetic.
  In general most Goth-type stuff makes me roll my eyes, but the film
took a number of chances and avoided cliches. It's not Great Art, and
it's not a David Lynch film (his name is all over the ads, but he just
executive-produced and has a cameo appearance), but it was good looking,
good sounding and in many ways more interesting than any other film I've
seen this year.

They broke up, sadly. The former rhythm section has released a few things
under the name O-Rang (it sounds a wee bit like Talk Talk but I didn't
find it too interesting. There's a track on the excellent "Isolationism"
comp.) I don't know what Mark Hollis or Tim Friese-Green are doing.
Anyone else know?

That would be the title of track #22 off Filigree & Shadow
by This Mortal Coil.

Nope it was "No Motion".

Does anyone know if Dif Juz still exists? And does anyone know if IPR is
still planning to release some of their stuff? And does anyone know if the
non-4AD Dif Juz is still in print? How to get a hold of it?

P.S. Oh, and that Anne Sexton thing, TMC's "Filigree and Shadow" LP with the

        It's a song from TMC's "Filigree & Shadow". That album has so many
songs, they get lost in the morass, so I can understand why you didn't
remember where it came from.

Subject: lorelei


Has anyone heard the new Lorelei album yet?  I believe it's out now and
I plan on buying it next time I have the money.  Unless they have totally
changed directions musically, this should be something to be excited about.

By the way, last night, while unsuccessfully trying to buy a medicine
ticked at tower (they close at midnight but ticmaster closes at 10), I
noticed that all of tower's domestic cd singles are SUPER CHEAP!  They
are all either 2.99 or 3.99.  I asked one of the employees about it and
he said it was a tower experiment.  They sell better at the lower price,
but so far not enough better.  This experiment will likely end around
Christmas, so buy them soon if there's anything you want domestic.

As I was exiting the store, I glanced at Twinlights and its 9.99
pricetag and thought "if only that were in the cd single section."  $1
per minute simply is not a fair deal.  Just ask MCI.

Last I heard, the Netherlands were not part of the United Kingdom, so
your unprovoked flame against  is misguided. Moreover,
you totally missed his joke. Have you considered investing in a sarcasm
detector? Or :) should we :) all just start festooning :) our postings

Besides, there are so many awful things about the US, and we spend plenty
of our own time grousing about them. Why shouldn't we let the limeys (or

  think filigree & shadow....

  me thinks mr. watts-russell is a fond admirer of anne's...which, despite
  the recent lackluster signings {ok, tarnation aren't lackluster, but
  these are certainly not the glory days of 4ad}, makes me like and respect
  the big guy still.

  "acid, bitter and sad" is made up entirely of anne sexton quotes from
  various poems {these have been posted before}. in fact, in reading the
  other night, i stumbled across a poem with another TMC connection...
  rather fitting, TMC and anne sexton. they go together so very well...

I have to review this even before I finish listening to it, in honor of
nothing else being quite great enough to motivate me to hook my cheapo
lil cd player into my big speakers that have no cd player. I did find a
way and am glad. Probably the whole block is miffed at me but oh well.
Autechre have been many many good things, but never until now have I
listened to an Autechre record and thought, THIS FUCKIN ROCKS. Well this
does. It totally kicks ass, better than Garbage or even Chatter. It's
awesome and fab and hip and it rules and the art once more is top of the
line. This has been reviewed a thousand times already so I won't go into
those details, but I wanted to say what I said here because I didn't
think that point had really been made, plus no one's said much about it
on 4ad-l.

Basscad,ep? Or Incunabula, for that matter. I am mainly interested in how
faithfully the art & packaging were carried over.

Subject: Re: The Amps


I've heard the whole album and in my opinion it is the best ablum of it's
kind put out all year. Apart from the fact that the singer is the same,  it
didn't remind me of The Breeders at all. I had heard that Ivo's main reason
for loving it so much was in fact the rawness of it all and not the over
production.  I bet it's going to be one of those albums that because it does
go againt the norm of what everybody is used to, that everybody will hate it.
I really hope a handful of people will be able to put aside any expectations
of past work and listen to it like something new. It really is great.

                   in the 80's?

        Also, got the "Mirror Pool" and was disappointed by the fact that
        it was content to sit in the background while Tarnation's lp made
        me sit up and listen instantly. I prefer making compilations of
        songs to sleep to such as "Asleep" by the Smiths, "Lucy" - Nick
        Cave, "Solid Air" - John Martyn or some tracks off the new live
        Tindersticks lp.      Still lurking ;)
