Excuse the me too post, but I too would like some info. I found a promo of
this for NINETY FIVE CENTS at my local cheesy record store, and bought it
because I remembered reading good things about them in this list.
I took it home, played it, and loved it!!!
techno like this. It reminds me of drum-machine obsessed Aphex Twin.

has this promo and he's looking to trade it for whatever anyone feels
like trading for it. he thought it would be best to do it on here and
make a swap, rather than try to sell it off at a local store. i don't
know what he wants for it, other than "No Unrest!!!"...he's a bit sick of
them. he also has a 7" for 'bavarian mods' from unrest..clear vinyl,
perfect condition...i guess he could lump the two together and
offer them up for trade. anyhoo, if you wanna swap with him, e-mail me...

one of my bestest pals wrote me about many a thing tonight, one of
those things being the set hnia did with monaural this past weekend.
here is his description....
embers,
k-j
-----*-----
"HNIA and Monaural this past saturday were great. HNIA played all new
songs...maybe 9 or 10 altogether. They didn't play a single old one. It
was such a lovely, gentle set by them. Karen's hair's short now...short
bangs w/hair not quite past her ears. Wore a silly sort of beret and
knee-high boots. voice was flawless. Warren sat down and played very
pretty, warm electric guitar...no screeching or squawling. It was all
just surprisingly gentle and everyone really loved it. Trey played
w/brushes and matt smith from outrageous cherry played these low bassy
warbles on a little moog. The lyrics are still very spiritual and some
are about michigan and the lake. It's just super to have seen this set
coming from Warren...I think he's getting out a lot of his prankish and
noisy urges w/all the Time Stereo stuff he's been involved w/recently."
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 1995 01:05:07 -0600
does anyone know if ian masters will be doing any guest vox on this?
i know it seems unlikely, but given his recent involvement with time
stereo. . . and of course esp summer. hey, wait, maybe sbk will resurrect
itself, distribute the album in the us, and attach the entire esp summer
tape on the end as a bonus track.

I figger it's been at least a month or two since I did this... :)
(old tracks on AI1 and Volume) - trippy and fun but boring
Incunabula - spooky and nice, lots of beats but very ambient
Basscad,ep - five mixes of same track, but very good stuff, seefeel mix
"Chatter" - track on AI2, hard and trippy and mindblowingwonderful
Amber - dark and icy and menacing compared to Incunabula
Anti - three track ep, weird, not much atmosphere, just kooky and fun
Garbage - awesome, long & pretty, 4 tracks ranging from dancey to ambient
(remix on Scorn's _Elipsis_) - nice atmosphere but a real bore, actually
Anvil Vapre - four songs, very dark cool hard stuff, amazing and a blast
Tri Repetae - haven't heard it but andrew's review is probably right on
My personal favorite is Amber followed by INcunabula and Garbage. I would
say Anvil Vapre but I am too much a pussy to listen to ennjoy it proppa.
Hope this is helpful.

Well Scheer are quite good,isn't it.But they don't have an album out yet,
you'll have to do with their EP 'schism' ,witch is quite good.
I'd say buy it!

for those of you who don't quite enjoy Anvil Vapre because of it's
abrasiveness, (and you have it on vinyl), try it at 33, easier to catch and
appreciate their intricate percussions and rhythms and not as overwhelming
to some. although i myself find that playing it at high volume on an
efficient pair of speakers to give it the most justice.

Oh come on, leave him alone. I don't necessarily agree with him (although I
do think Otherness is better than the last couple of Cocteau releases, even
if it really is a Seefeel EP). Besides, it's not as if someone with an
address like "BluBelKnol" (hmmm...I wonder where *that* came from) could be
expected to be even the least bit critical of CT.

Most of you Americans on the list don`t seem to know too much about
them, so I`1l share my limited knowledge with you.The singer is called Audrey
and they released (I think) 2 ep`s before signing to 4ad, wish you were dead

1) You at least can make the comparison. Who the hell are Seefeel / Mark Cliffor
?
I gather some sort of ambient wailing (probably rather good too).
2) I received the 4AD mailing list yesterday valid to July 1994 or was it DEC 94
(I think?). There were
some lovely items I want to buy like Xymox 12"s. There was a deletion list inclu
ed
eg. Medusa. I wonder if anyone can comment on validity of offers. Can you still
get these items. It's a bit of a mission to send plenty pounds only to get them
sent back (I hope). Then again it had the Scheer EP promo pamphlet, so I suppose
they keep up to date re. stocks / availablility etc.

The story is correct, but it ain't Sarah; the first single she sang on
was "Nothing Can Stop Us". The vocalist in question is Moira Lambert,
who sang with All About Eve-ish Croydon band Faith Over Reason.
Originally the question was: what is said vocalist doing now? I know
Faith Over Reason made a few records, but I think they gave it up a
while back. Moira was living in Brighton the last I heard, but all
this information may well be out of date.

What about Elysium 3? Well, maybe they'll have to change their name anyway,
because there is a rather huge techno/ambient act from Danmark called
Elysium too! (they did 2 succesfull albums so far).

yet another correction for a non-AOLer: It was only Robin who was having
difficulty during that time and began using narcotics. At least he had the
courage to admit to himself he had a problem and loose the habit.
And despite the drug use, they were able to put out one of their greatest
pieces of work, (aforementioned Blue Bell Knoll) FAR surpassing anything
Seefeel ever, or ever shall put out.

Woohoohoohoo! I'll be the first to admit that TMC can be more than a bit
syrupy at times, but WFO are in fact sampling THE CARPENTERS, from the
hit song "Hurting Each Other". That's the melliflous, anorexic tones of
Karen Carpenter you're grooving to there.
It _is_ a killer track. If you doubt that a long Carpenters sample can be
crafted into a killer nine minutes of ambient techno, just take a listen.
I've never heard anything else by WFO, though. This isn't really the
right list to be asking on, but does anyone know?

DUH. Gordon Sharp and Robin Guthrie did yet ANOTHER version of that song
under the name Macbeth, and that particular version was featured on the
Volume 5 CD. This Mortal Coil's version, which appeared on "Blood", was
arranged by Jon Turner and performed by Caroline Crawley and Deirdre
Rutkowski. We're talking about two different cover versions of the

Neither apparently. Looks like that show in Mexico City got cancelled at the
last minute. However, HNIA did play a special show in Detroit to try to make
up for it (I think one of the stipulations for that show was to have the
venue's flyers have the band name in Spanish...).
As far as poor Mr. Perry goes... funny, I was just wondering the exact same
thing the other day.

I'm a Joy Division fan, and I thought the Swans' cover(s) of "Love Will
Tear Us Apart" were much better than the original, which had unbelievably
cheesy synth-pop instrumentation. The Swans brought to it the gloom and
slowness that it really deserved all along.

This is a really lame argument, verging on flamebait. Do you have a point
here, or are you trying to add some much-needed noise to this mailing
list? I really don't like to generalize about AOL members (I was one once
back in the dark ages, and my sister is one) but you're really doing a
nice job of proving all the stereotypes true. "Cocteau Twins TOTALLY
RULE! Seefeel SUCK!"
My own take? Both have release some really lame material ("Four-Calendar
Cafe" for CT, most of "Succour" and the "Blackcore" tracks for Seefeel)
and both have release really wonderful and transcendent moments of pure
musical bliss (say, "Head Over Heels" and "Polyfusia".) Of course,
Seefeel's shining moment was ten years later than the Cocteaux, so it
sticks in ones short-term memory a bit more.
And as I recall, this whole annoying thread came about because
BluBlKnl183654 disagreed with someone's comparison of the two bands. I'd
definitely say there are comparisons to be made, and that Seefeel are
self-evidently in debt to the Cocteaux. Not so much for specific vocal
sounds, more for instrumental textures. And both bands are big fans of
each other. Now what's the point in dissing a band just because someone
dares compare them to your favorites?
