I posted the most recent magazine spam we received to the net-abuse
newsgroup, news.admin.net-abuse.misc, and I got a response back with the
phone number and address of the loser who is subjecting us to his crap
marketing. I've enclosed it below.
I wouldn't dream of suggesting a few midnight phone calls or visits. I
wouldn't even dare recommend a few oh-so-just trial magazine
subscriptions. No, not me. Not at all. Nope.
I would suggest something much, much worse.

Hi there. I picked up some copies of two CDs by Elijah's Mantle:
-Angels of Peversity
and
-Remedies in Heresies
I had wanted to check them out because Brendan Perry produced the first one
and is thanked on the second one. It's not really my cup of tea, but I
figured some one on this list might be interested in these. I have no idea
if these are hard to get or what their value (monetary value) is?
If you are interested in purchasing either of them (or both) please email
me and make me an offer. (In case you are wondering, they are in brand new
condition)

Stopped by a Body Shop here in Utah today, and I asked about the 4AD CD. I
was told that the CD is only available in some "select" markets. They were
fairly confident that the CD is availabe in California and Colorado (?). I
was also told that if you phone a store that is participating, you can
place a credit card order and have your order and your free CD shipped to
you.
Hope that helps.

Hi everyone
I've been keeping sort of quiet about this one, but it's really something
that you should all know about.
>From the "Fuzzbox Hell" of Seattle comes the surprise of the year. A small
local label, ae (look for them to be making B-I-G waves soon...), has been
releasing albums which are sure to delight anyone with a taste for exquisite
(and challenging) music.
ae #1 - LUCID's "Baby Labyrinthian"
I KNOW I've thrown this name around a few times in postings to the list.
Parasol carried it for a little while (ALL ae cds are in ltd editions of
500), and I don't know if you can still get it through them... but TRY! What
we have here is (and I'm going to try not to simply rehash my reviews from
the upcoming Big Takeover...) an astonishing piece of work: 31 tracks, not
one a throwaway - 72+ minutes. Maybe the best analogy I can draw is this: the
"lost in fog" feel of lovesliescrushing and the odd
instrumentation/experimentation of Pram or Disco Inferno joined to His Name
Is Alive's mesmerizing quietude. Song structure, or lack thereof, is closer
in spirit to the fragments of LLC, while the gentle chimes, drones, and
meshing samples recall Pram and DI - while a hypnotic HNIA-ish calm folkiness
ties it all together. It doesn't leap out at you as quickly as any of these
bands - it's extremely subtle music. But I'll be damned if this isn't one of
the best albums of '95 - and one of the most incredible secrets US music has
to offer.
ae #2 - After the Flood
With a 'supergroup' of Seattle band members (including most of LUCID and,
strangely enough, people from grungeoids, Sage...) you'd expect a numbing
guitar-wank holocaust. Nope. Instead, this is likely the greatest 4AD album
that the (now on the downslide...oh, sorry...I'll stop editorializing...)
label never released. Though there are no Big Star or Rema Rema covers - it's
all original music - you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between
this group of players and the TMC stable. A pawn-shop full of instruments,
from the usual GBDV to the truly unusual, and a 22 songs which cover every
aspect of TMC - from the DCD-on-holiday of "Waves Become Wings" ("Evocation"
- which even hints at isolationist ambience) to the tortured emotional folk
of "Kangaroo"("Quite Surprised"). There are your experimental pieces ("Terra,
She Said", "Morning Come, Bottle Dry") - lots of LUCID/TooPure-ish tape loop
and sample tapestries. Tell me that "Sister" isn't a Pram song! Okay, you can
tell me... but I don't believe you. A few songs here shine with the gossamer
blissfulness that the Cocteaus have traded for solemn minimalism (try "Grace"
and "Sophia" - which has a male vox that puts Breathless to shame). Every
base is covered - and then some. The European street-cafe vibe of
"Glissando", the "Red House Painters playing with Moose's delay-guitar
pedals" melancholy of "Abandoned Ship", "Dispell the Nightmare"'s smoky
Portishead jazz, and the "are you sure this isn't MAIN?!" ambient whispers of
"Circles, Smoke" suggest something larger than TMC ever accomplished: This
could be a project to end all projects, assembling all the most brilliant
musicians of our time (and before) - from Tim Hardin to Martin Carr - and
having them create a /magnum opus/ with as many flavors and nuances as life
itself.
Suuuuuuure. You all think that it's the ravings of a (stubbornly opinionated)
madman. But track down a copy of either (or both) of these albums and see for
yourself. Even 4AD's 'baby steps' weren't THIS exciting. We have something
here, folks. While too many cities churn out endless streams of indie-rock
clones, here is a thouroughly original assembly of musicians creating what
will prove to be lasting and incomparable art. The idea is carried over into
the packaging - especially AtF, with it's ghostly silver parchment paper and
postcard inserts.
Well, I'm impressed. :)
Here's some info for anyone out there who shares my excitement.

Slight contrast in this week's purchases. The Amps first - I know I
said recently that on the strength (or weakness) of "Tipp City" I was
unlikely to buy the Amps album, but this weekend I heard a rather good
song in a record shop which could only have been Ms Deal singing. And
as others have reported, the album is actually not bad. Not all that
good, but not bad - it would have made a really good 8 track "Come on
Pilgrim" style mini-album, there are some songs on it which wouldn't
be out of place on a Breeders album. Having said that, I don't think
the Breeders have been all that special since Tanya left. Try before
you buy, but don't judge the Amps on the "Tipp City" single.
Autechre's "Tri Repetae" has two fewer songs, but is more than twice as
long. Plain metallic grey-green package with no writing on it other
than a sticker on the front, and some cards inside with track listing
and pictures of engines. The music is wonderful - I didn't like "Anvil
Vapre" very much, and was a bit apprehensive about this album, but they
seem to have worked out their Aphex fantasies on the EP, and the album
is a bit like a cross between the previous two - the complex rhythms of
"Amber" with the droning and buzzing of "Incunabula". Definitely the
most consistent and interesting techno album since, well, their last one
I suppose.

Right about Spoonfed Hybrid and Insides (who incidentally had released a few
things under the name Earwig); however Bettie Serveert were already signed to
Matador, That Dog were already signed to Geffen, and Underground Lovers had
released things in Australia.
I was mostly going from a press release I'd received from 4AD a few years ago
when they launched Guernica. Maybe they could release the new Red House
Painters on Guernica (joke) if it does still exist. I would like to know as
well. That second Insides release came out just about one year ago.

if you didn't already know, mercury rev are touring in support of 'see you on
the other side'. i saw them this weekend and highly recommend going to
their show if you have the chance. i don't see much mention of mercury rev on
this list. IMHO, they are one of the better bands going today, and they have
plenty of thislisty qualities.
also saw palace/palace music/palace brothers, whatever name will oldham/pushkin/
push is going by this day, this weekend. lots of different arrangements for
their songs... more up-tempo. also highly recommended. not that my opinion
means much.

i write:
yes, those four albums are the only ones available on dewdrops.
elysium was just at a cafe around the corner from my house a few weeks ago,
and my bf talked to the lead vocalist and she is very nice. orange is
similar to cocteau twins...i quite like it. however, they broke up and she
will be in another band, i believe. hover is girl/boy pop, and it has
really grown on me...it's very east coast pop... thurtene is a collection
of 4ad covers, some of which are very good...orange does an interesting
cover of pixies "gigantic" and hover's cover of breeders' "when i was a
painter" is fun...tel basta even attempts "i melt with you" and it's not
bad (although the cocteau twins cover sourly misses the mark--faye wong is
the only person i've heard that even does justice to the twins music). but
'thurtene' is almost a must for 4ad lovers...info from talking with someone
from dewdrops--they are considering another 4ad cover album...there'll be
more coming from them...keep your ears open...
anyway, hope this helps some...

Hi all! Just in case anyone is confused, "Otherness" is remixed by Mark
Clifford of Seefeel (god I hope I got his name right). It is *not* a Cocteau
Twins end-product, and therefore the style cannot be expected to bleed into
the upcoming album. While I'm sure the band members are thrilled to have
released an excellent ep, you won't be hearing that sound again unless they
recruit Clifford once more...

Did they ever release an album? The only song I ever encountered

if you're talking about the macbeth that features gordon sharp and robin
guthrie then you are (as far as i know) out of luck. the only thing
they've ever done is the cover of _help me lift you up_ which is on the
volume 5 comp. (oh...i *think* it's #5)
supposedly there is more to come from them at some point. i know that's
an area gordon wants to explore, but we'll just see if it ever happens.

My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neisho-Markum Cafe in Dallas
and decided to stuff our fat asses with cookies. Because our family of fat
asses are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neisho-Markum chicken
meat Cookie". It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the
recipe. With a sort of twisted smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much,
and she responded, "Two fifty K." I said with approval, just add it to my tab.
one day later, I received my VISA statement from Neisho-Markum and it was
$250,029.95. I looked again and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two
salads and about $20.00 for cookies. As I glanced at the bottom of the
statement, it said, "Cookie-Recipe - $250,000.00." Boy, was I pissed!! I
called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them the waitress said it was "two
fifty K," and I did not realize she meant $250,000.00 for a cookie recipe.
I tried to play ignorant but they didn't fall for it.
I asked them to take back the recipe and reduce my bill and they said
they were sorry, but because all the recipes were this expensive so not
just everyone could duplicate any of our bakery recipes...the bill would
stand. Two days later some folks from the department store showed up and gave
me the ass beating of my life. They went insane on my fat ass. I didn't
think this act of senseless violence would ever end. My fat ass felt a
kind of pain I could never describe. The beating grew more sickening
by the minute. My pig like screams could be heard around the neighborhood.
Never cross a big department store... they will chop your boobs off and
nail them to your ear lobes.

Pizzicato 5 is OK (I like Sweet the best) but they just aren't
as swoonsome as Dubstar and the Cardigans. All I have is their
second CD "Life" which is import only. I see where some of the
cuts on "Life" were on their debut "Emmerdale".
There's a store in town that has another copy of Life if
you can't find it. Any decent store should be able to

Many thanks to those who went to the Elysium show last night,
and also to all those who made it to one (or more!) of the
tour shows.
I'm not even sure how many of you are on these lists, and I
probably didn't even meet most of you, but for those who went
I hope you enjoyed it. It's YOU who were doing this for,
and I'm sure that goes for everyone in the band too.
No other shows are scheduled at this point, but we are trying to
set up shows at UCLA and Rhino in Claremont. As ever, I'll
keep you informed.
What's currently in the works at our label is a 7", possibly
released in time for Christmas (but at this point, it's best
not to hold your breath). If not in time for Christmas, then
it'll happen shortly afterward. The single will feature 4 tracks--
a new Elysium song called "Christmas", a "new" song from Orange
(one of the 4 that didn't make it to the CD, either "Chimes",
"Painted Tongue", "Ecco" or "Solace and Shade"), and a song
each from the Hover and Thurtene CDs. Dewdrops goes vinyl!

The Cardigans, from what I understand, have a handful of singles and an album
out. The latter is entitled 'Life,' and it is on Stockholm Records in the
UK. Had to bend over backwards twice to find my copy, but it is well worth
the trouble. They are much less dancefloor-oriented than Saint Etienne,
instead going for a more coctail party sound. Sort of the indie band that
Astrud Gilberto, Holly Golightly, and Emma Peel would have formed if indiepop
were around in the early sixties.
Just an obvservation (and an endorsement, natch).
If you can't find 'Life,' I'd be happy to trade you a tape of the disc for a
tape of the Dubstar album.
Cheers,
