I guess a few Pixies fans might still be lurking around on the list
inbetween the Goth wannabe and Swans threads... Anyway, if you're there,
you might be interested in picking up (if you can find it) a bootleg
called "Rough Diamonds". It's "a collection of alternate & unreleased
studio recordings". It contains no less than 31 tracks, and the sound
quality is quite good (being studio recordings, it should be). Ok, here
it is:
1. Hey Maida Vale, Studio 4, London 3/5/88
2. Levitate me "
3. Wild honey pie "
4. Caribou "
5. In Heaven "
6. Dead Hippodrome Studio, London 9/10/88
7. Tame "
8. There Goes My Gun "
9. Manta Ray "
10. Down To The Well Maida Vale Studio 3, London 16/4/89
11. Into The White "
12. Surf Of Mutilation "
13. Monkey Gone To Heaven Maida Vale Studio 5, London 18/8/90
14. Alison "
15. Wave Of Mutilation "
16. Ana "
17. Palace Of The Brine Maida Vale Studio 3, London 23/6/91
18. Letter To Memphis "
19. Motorway To Roswell "
20. Subbacultcha "
21. Build High Master Control Studio, Burbank 9/91
22. I Can't Forget "
23. Born In Chicago Recording Co. Studio, Chicago 7/90
24. Velouria Portastudio demo, Los Angeles 6/90
25. Hang On To Your Ego "
26. Is She Weird "
27. Gigantic Blackwing Studio, London 2/5/88
28. River Euphrates "
29. Tame Fort Apache Studio. Boston 3/87
30. Down To The Well "
31. Rock-A-My-Soul "
The CD is released on Blue Moon Records (cat no. BMCD32).
According to Monkey gone to heaven, Joey Santiago's full name's Joey St.
Alberto Santiago. Thought you'd like to know...
And now for something completely different:
I just picked up suddenly, tammy! (we get there when we do) and I think
it's lovely. Is this their second album? How does it compare to their
other release(s)?
I also highly recommend Stereolab's 'Refried Ectoplasm [Switched on
Volume 2]. Saves you the trouble of trying to collect all those 7"s.
Umm...I'm listening to Godflesh right now - what about last years rumour
about the 4AD/Earache thing? Tarnation/Godflesh could have been an
interesting constellation...with tubas thrown in of course.

okay, this has already gone on at some length, but i'll try to finally
clear this up. (warning: all my info may not be precise, perhaps howard
will correct me if he's still here)
macbeth was (is?) gordon sharp's (gordon is the vocalist for cindytalk)
'hushed' project. quiet acoustic stuff aimed mostly at covering some of
gordon's favorite songs. you may recall that gordon appeared on the
legendary TMC album _it'll end in tears_. well, rumor has that he was
asked to sing _help me lift you up_ on _blood_, but it fell through
because ivo wanted gordon to sing like a "normal person" or some
such silliness. anyway,
gordon couldn't resist covering the aformentioned song as it is one of
his favorites. so, he recruited robin guthrie and they did the track for
the volume 5 comp. in an interview i read over the summer gordon said
that he wants to do more with Macbeth, but i'm not sure it will ever
happen. for one thing, gordon is poor. and for another, i've
heard tell that he spends most of his time in danceclubs....:)
lastly, gordon is working on a techno project of his own at the moment.
ok, i'm done. i promise.

When I spoke to Vaughan the other week he said he didn't really like Lisa's
own work (think I posted something about that last week?), but that he
really liked Brendan's. I said that I had read on the Dead Can Dance web
site that 4AD had told Brendan that his album wasn't good enough for
release and that was why it had ben postponed/cancelled.
He didn't take this very well - it seems he (Vaughan) doesn't like the
Internet for various reasons (but that's another story I'll tell some other
time), and this just made himeven worse. Both he and Chris said that what
they had heard of Brendan's solo album was "nothing short of brilliant",
and that the reason why it hadn't been released was because it hadn't been
finished yet due to personal problems. He said everyone who had heard the
new songs were really taken by them - so much so that they were
desperately trying to sort out the problems so that Brendan would go back
into the studio and finish off the album.
He couldn't say enough good stuff about the new songs, and added that it
would probably finally be out in the New Year.

Hi!
I thought I was the only one in the world who like Faith Over Reason!
I bought their first E.P., called "higher than the sun" maybe 4 or 5
years ago. There was this wonderful song: "Ice queen", which promised
so much... So I waited for a second E.P., or a L.P., but nothing came.
I thought they gave it up, just like you, until I came here in Stockholm!
Last year, they played as guests for Jeff Buckley's gig in Stockholm, at
Gino. (for only something like 2 pounds or 3 dollars). I couldn't believe
they were still alive! the problem was that the gig began before the
time, and I missed Faith Over Reason for five minutes... Anyway, I bought
their new album ( I can't remember the name of it, but I think they're
still on Big Cat) which is only good, maybe overproduced... There are
still two or three great songs with Moira Lambert alone with her guitar
that chill me. But there were no articles in the newspapers, and the only
place I found the CD was at the concert. I understand they can be tired
of all this no-hype around them... I wonder how they survived so long.
Maybe they gave it up as you say after this disappointment.
Maybe we're too far from the 4AD bands, but I really would like to know
if someone loves them as I do, and I have found some TABs for guitar...
But I didn't know about this All about eve thing, and I don't know if
Faith Over Reason released other stuff than what I said.

Doh. Of course. And all because I was too lazy to go look at my copy of Fox
Base Alpha. It's funny - both MM and NME have done interviews with Saint
Etienne recently with that story but there's been no mention of the other
singers. I wonder what happened to Stephanie?

Regardless of the band's intrinsic merits, from a couple of
listens to a borrowed copy of Scheer's EP, it's clear that
this is another 4AD signing that has nothing to do with the
4AD "aesthetic" abandoned a few years back. To my ears, the
instrumental textures are pure Seattle pop-grunge, with the
female vocals and country of origin providing the main
novelties. You have been warned.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
These past few weeks a major discussion focused on if 4AD is losing its edge
and uniqueness in the musical world. Some felt that the 4AD of yesterday is
much superior than todays. The acts were more interesting and innovative than
to todays more generic and relatively "mediocre" bands. While this issue has
been discussed heatedly and to the death I was thinking about the fundamentals
of 4AD; what is the purpose or goals of 4AD and what does it want to accomplish
.
Many labels can be described as a musical style. For instance Verve is a Jazz
label and Warp is an ambient techno label. What is 4AD. Can we say it is a
musical style where all of the bands cater to a musical style. Or is it
different.
I feel that 4AD is not particularily a musical style but rather a concept.
A concept for a label for me is where the label takes an ideaology and signs
bands that have that ideaology. There is no particular musical style.
What is this concept? I think the name itself sums it up 4AD = Forward. The
concept is to sign on bands and acts that are the forefront or the originators
of their style. How many times have you heard "this band sounds like the
(insert 4ad band here) -ish" and never said "this (insert 4ad band here) sounds
like this band". For all of the bands on 4ad (at least the old school) the
sounds and music they produced was unique to them. They created a style than
take on a style. This uniqueness is a newness which is moving forward in
music. 4ad didn't care that you may have gothic roots, or country, or garage,
just as long as what you did was unique and innovative that made you stand
out from the rest of the crowd.
However, is 4ad still following the Forward concept today. I think so but in
a different manner. I can't pinpoint this, but when I hear a recording by
4ad I can easily identify it as a 4ad artist even though I've never heard of
then before. For me the musical innovation and individuality of the bands on
4ad is important than a band trying to be like the Cocteau Twins or DCD or
HNIA.

Slightly related opinion:
A friend of mine (a 4AD expert who has probably heard everything that has
ever come out on the label/a Dead Can Dance fan/a friend of Lisa
Gerrard's) expressed his opinion of THE MIRROR POOL to me. He feels it's
the worst record 4AD has ever put out. He says he told that to Lisa too.
Makes me wonder what the reaction was to that, knowing how
cruel and bitchy Lisa is reputed to be...

actually, i sort of like (i think) some of eno's u2 stuff. i don't really
listen to 'em much, but even though i've been out of high school for awhile
now, i still like a couple of the songs on "achtung" and "zooropa" (though
not the other stuff.) examples would be erm. . .one, love is blindness,

annoy me.

Hi! I'm Wilder. And I like really a lot these groups: SPACEMEN 3,
MY BLOODY VALENTINE, SPECTRUM, SPIRITUALIZED, DARKSIDE, VELVET
UNDERGROUND, LAIKA, SEEFEEL,PRAM, LOVESLIESCRUSHING, SLOWDIVE,
SEEFEEL, SILVANIA, INSIDES, HIS NAME IS ALIVE, etc... well I think
you have an idea already.
What about you?
Do you have bootlegs from any of the groups above?
Do you like ambient?
Have you heard SILVANIA?
It's like SLOWDIVE with COCTEAU TWINS but sometimes with a sweet
guitar like SPACEMEN 3. Believe me, they're really wonderful. They
have a lot of beautiful ambiences. Pretty beautiful ambiences. I know
they have 2lps EN CIELO DE OCEANO (1993) and PAISAJE III (1994) and
an EP called MIEL NUBE HIEL. But I only have master tapes with those
stuffs because from here -Peru- is really hard to get their discs.
Can you find them there? Please if you get some information from
them, let me know it.
Where do you live?
How is the scene there?
Do you have something from these groups : SUICIDE, MC5, 13th
FLOOR ELEVATORS and BRIAN ENO?
I'm pretty interested in to get some stuff from them.
And of course in to make tape exchanges.

Macbeth is a fairly new band featuring Gordan SHarp and another member of
cindytalk, along with Robin guthrie who plays guitar and co-produces.
They released a version of "Help Me LIft you up," on December, 1992 issue
of volume. In the accompanying article in volume, Gordon Sharp explains
that Ivo originally asked him to sing the vocal for the mortal coil
version . Over musical differences, the two had a falling out, so
Sharp decided to record it for his new band Macbeth.
Though i have not been able to afind a copy of any of their work
(other than the Volume bit) a very reliable friend has informed me that
he saw couple of copies at AAron record in LA.
if anyone has any info on them, please share....

The Frank Black song is probably the only restrained moment on the Watt
album, and one of the best I've ever heard Frank do. I THINK the song

>>What?? IFFY? That was one of the BEST albums i discovered last
year (it was released in 92 though).<<
I'll have to entusiastically agree with cz.
The Lisa Gerrard / Brandon Perry contributions better their own recent DCD
output.

Some of his solo work is really rotten, actually. Have you neard Nerve

Gescom seems to usually be Autechre + miscellaneous collaborators, and
the name change IMO is *very* warranted. I am an immense fan of Autechre
but cannot stand Gescom. Maybe it's good for what it's supposed to be,
but I sure as hell can't listen to it for long.
And I don't think Neil's track is actually *by* Neil. First, it doesn't
sound like him, musically or stylistically. The credit on the disc says:
"written / produced by Tony F. Wilson / Neil Halstead" which leads me to
believe he simply produced the song.
And since no one has asked this in at least a week, whatever happened to
Slowdive's soundtrack work.

I thought both tracks were pretty nice, actually. Is there a track
listing available for the Disjecta album yet?

Actually, "hoverin" wasn't on the last Breeders album -- it's on teh
single for "Divine Hammer". But damn good.

I don't think Lush could be considered a dorky band on 4AD-L. That would be
heresy or something.

Here's a designer. Love every minute of it (and there are so many of them to
love).
More Chris Bigg design:
Felt "Ignite the Seven Cannons" (beautiful, that one)
A lot of stuff by In the Nursery
And plenty of other stuff while working with Rob O'Connor
at Stylorouge.
More v23:
That book by Rachel Felder "Manic Pop Thrill"
That book by...can't think of the guy called "Blissed Out"
Russell Mills and David Coppenhall are no slouches either.
not he really designed the sleeves for "Deep" as they indicate. They look
incredibly Chris Bigg-ish to me. If they aren't, it was an extremely skillful
rip-off.

I think you'll find that most of the stuff on XL records is done by v23 -
they share the same building as 4AD and Beggars. XL is a new dance label
who have only released a couple of records as yet. They have been
advertising in Design Week (or was it Creative Review?) for a Graphic
Designer who 'knows the club/dance scene'. A few weeks before Beggars
Banquet were advertising for a Mac Operator for their in house graphic
design studio - I didn't even get an interview ... bastards.

Come on now, maybe I'm dating myself but U2's early albums (_Boy_ through
_The Unforgettable Fire_) were brilliant. I do agree that they got
awfully tiresome awfully fast after 1985, but listen to "I Will Follow",
"Gloria" or "Indian Summer Sky" and remember their long-gone greatness...
fully rocks my world. One of their best ever, infinitely better than
"Mars Audiac Quartet" (not surprisingly, as all the tracks are from
'92-'93). (Warning: Reading the liner notes will make you go blind.) Buy
ten copies and give 'em to your friends for Xmas. Also picked up a Planet
Dog comp and a promo-only SpinArt comp. Full reviews shortly, I promise.

Huh?
Do you mean the incomprehensible shit you sent two messages after this
(by 4ad-l measurements)? :)
BTW I'm normaly [email protected]
I'm studying abroad for a term. Did you accidently post to 4ad-l or do
you like good music or familiar with KTRU or something? Not many people
are into this type music in Houston, judging by the crapola concerts we
get (or fail to get). My favorites are RHP, HNIA, and Lisa Germano.

Did I say anything about difficulty?
I certainly hope the others were using some drug as well; they need SOME

THAT he had a problem. LOSE the habit. Gee, maybe he didn't. Otherwise
why would he be into Seefeel enough to a) ask them to remix his music and
b) copy them?

THE aforementioned. WILL put out.
Such is the case against Seefeel; such are those who make it. I rest my
case. Dumb AOLer.

I seriously doubt HNIA and Mojave played in New Mexico. Having grown
up there, and suffered through a lack of any good shows worth seeing ( I
can count the last couple on one hand), I seriously doubt they were
there. Can anyone confirm that they actually played there? I'd be
surprised if they did. And I bet anything they played Santa Fe.
Go get shiFt! A Folding Sieve! Now!
