No, I'm not on drugs and I don't have any brain damage. IMHO, Seefeel
are way better than CT. Now don't get me wrong, I love CT (Remember I
was the one who got the whole thing about CT's Pink Opaque "is it an
album or not?" thing going), but I think musically Seefeel have done alot
more. I love Pink Opaque, and thought Blue Bell Knoll was good, but
after that, everything went downhill. Twinlights???? Gimme a break.
Seefeel have done some very intelligent things, IMHO. Who can compare
the delights of sitting in the dark and just listening to "signals"
repeatedly? What they did with that song (with just one instrument!) is,
to me, quite frankly amazing.. And "Come Alive" will always be one of
the most impressive songs ever, alomost as good as mbv's "soon".
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 1995 12:16:52 -0800
In response to a claim that Seefeel is better than the Cocteaus will ever
be, [email protected] replied:
> So tell me, are you on drugs? or just some sort of mild brain damage?
And einexile replies back:
>That's funny. As it turns out, the Cocteau Twins were using drugs *and*
>inflicting upon themselves mild brain damage all during the recording of
>your misspelled namesake.
>
>Dumb AOLer!
First of all, einexile, BluBel's "misspelled namesake" is not a
misspelling, but rather an abbreviation for a username. Duh!!! You should
know that. Secondly, the Cocteaus' use of drugs has nothing at all to do
with this issue being discussed of whether or not Seefeel is better than
the Cocteaus.
But what really is frightening about einexile's reply is that "Dumb AOLer"
part. By attacking something about BluBel the *person* (his being on AOL),
rather than what he *said*, you've commited one of the greatest fallacies
of reasoning/logic. Furthemore, you are just like a racist. Calling
someone a dumb AOLer is just like calling someone a dumb 'N-word' (Mark
Furman). Sure there are both dumb and brilliant AOLers, Netcomers, African
Americans, Anglo-Saxons, etc. But to GENERALIZE in a negative way (as you
did with your remark) a class or category of people to be dumb is racist,
or *elitist* in this situation. I can imagine some of you saying "yeah,
but AOL does suck", but that's *your* opinion. Some people truly like AOL
and who are you to tell them otherwise? Plus, even if AOL does suck, it
doesn't follow that its users suck.
So, we should not welcome AOLers on this list nor listen to what they have
to say because they are dumb. Right? Only people from "cool" internet
providers will be taken seriously on 4AD-L! Everyone else: unsubscribe
immediately!!! You are not worthy to be among us cool hip internet
know-it-all elitists! This kind of attitude is shameful and an
embarrassment to everyone on this list.

Actually, I think I have answers to some of the questions a few people have
had lately.
4AD UK is creating a new update of the Mail Order Catalogue. I had called
them asking about the v23 Deluxe Book and their ``subscription`` service and
was told ``the art department is working on an update to the catalogue that
was sent out last year``. The subscription service doesn`t officially start
until the beginning of 1996. So I was told.
Macbeth is a Gordon Sharp (Cindytalk) project. He originally agreed to sing
the song for Ivo on TMC`s Blood and went into the studio to record for two
days and ended up in a big disagreement about the way it was being
approached. Later, Volume wanted a new Cindytalk track for their comp, but
Gordon didn`t have anything new at the time except the then-unreleased
Wappinschaw album. He didn`t want to split anything off of that, so he
pitched the idea of Help Me Lift You Up because he was so taken with the song
and Mary Margaret O`Hare. They and Robin Guthrie agreed to donate the money
and studio time to record it. Nothing else has been done under the name
Macbeth. But in the future Gordon plans to do either covers of songs or
traditional Scottish songs under the name Macbeth. Some of the other side
projects of Gordon`s have been The Freeze (pre-Cindytalk from the late-70`s,
I have two 7-inch`s), Lucinder (the name the band uses when they want to do a
live show but not under the name Cindytalk), and Bambule (Gordon`s
industrial-acid electronic project going on right now). Nothing by Bambule
has been released, but Praxis in London have expressed interest and a few
singles might be out in the next few months. This info comes from Gordon
himself (nice guy that he is).

I publicly apologize for my dribble on how the Cocteaux were so much superior
to Seefeel. What I should have said was that anyone who could compare
Seefeel (an ambient band) with the Cocteax (thislisty) has got to be bonkers
(see below). Even my local record store has the sense to keep the 2 in
entirely different categories. It's like comparing funk with punk.

Seefeel's "Quique" is their latest album and can be found on the Astralwerks
label. Although the band is guitar-based, the overall sound is ambient techno.
The guitars don't sound like traditional guitar, and the overall feel could just
as easily be generated from several layers of synth. Overall, it sounds
like there are several layers being looped over and over at a pretty
mellow pace. When there is singing, it's not in the traditional song lyrics
sense. The voice is used as kind of another "instrument" sound, added into the
layers. It all comes together quite nicely, is rather soothing and pretty.
Some people think the songs drag on, though. I guess it depends on what
you're used to.

I really cannot say that Seefeel sounds like techno at all on Quique. Techno
has energy, whereas this album is languid and dazed and quite undancebly slow.
It has some good qualities, but trust me, it is too repetitive and I feel
does not live up to the hype. that is my 2 pesos worth.

Hi all. I was wondering if y'all could help me out. I was wondering
if you could give me some musical direction. I'm looking for some good
dreampop nad have been a little disappointed in some buys recently. I am
a huge MBV and lovesliescrushing fan, and a huge fan of Medicine and
Seefeel and FSA. Recently I got the Outdoor Miner ep from FSA and loved
it. I just got MBV's YMMR, and it's pretty good too, although I think
it's a little derivative from Isn't Anything. And I got shiFt's cd-ep
recently, which I can't say enough about. Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant. I also listened to some Bowery Electric and Labradford
recently, and liked them well enough, but held off. ANd I've picked up
Half-String's "Tripped Up Breathing", and well, it's okay. Kinda
janglily but not teh full tilt noise, grind I like to hear. Alison's
Halo also fell into this category. I liked it, but it wsn't (IMHO)
spectacular. Not enough noise. So does anyone have any suggestions in
this vein? Something like
MBV,FSA,Seefeel,Medicine,shiFt,lovesliescrushing?
Any particular bands I should check out? Thanks in advance!
P.S. Get shiFt!

Hello everyone. Just dropping in to tell y'all about the best damn
record I've got in a long time. It's shiFt's "A folding Sieve". It is
incredible. Marc, the head guy in the band, sent it to me as a b-side to
a dub of mbv's Ecstasy and wine. I have been doint nothing but rewinding
and playing that side of the tape with shiFt on it. Forget Ride, forget
lush or anything else. If you like MBV, this is a must-have for your
collection. For me, it was like being in the desert, when it's really
hot, and you can see the waves of arid heat ascending from the ground.
ANd then I ran across the soil, disturbing the patterns of air. The air
swirled around and a dustdevil rose up behind me, a great twisting mass
of air and noise and vibration eating everything up in it's path. It is
quite an incredible experience. shiFt's music is just like this.
Grinding guitars mashing over a humming synth in perfect accompaniment.
I would look for shiFt to become the next big thing. Get this cd! It is
available (you know a plug was coming, didn't you?) from:ND Records,
P.O.Box 4144, Austin Texas 78765 USA. Get it!

Hi folks... Reality here. I've been lurking big-time for
the past several months (still had the old email address
for the list in my mail program!) Busy. Busy. Busy. I'm
on the job market, got a dissertation to finish, experiments
to do, etc., etc. But, hey, that's my problem. A few notes
from recent postings:
1) The Lush Home Page is alive and well. I've been too busy
to update it with current rumours and the new song (not to
mention the link someone sent me for song tabulatures), but
it's still a fun place (it gets enough "hits" per week!).
Check out:
2) The _fLUSH_ tape is a collection of rareities, b-sides,
and bootleg material I put together last year. Right now
it's a limited edition of 20 (only 13 of which have been
printed) and don't even think of asking me for a copy. It's
not for sale. My second tape deck is broken. I have to mail
out job applications next week. I haven't even mailed Emma
*her* two copies yet. You get the picture. Here's the track
fLUSH
Side 1
1) female hybrid - from 1988 demos
2) skin - from 1988 demos
3) truth or fiction - from 1988 demos
4) sunbathing - from 1988 demos
5) etheriel (demo) - from _donde esta los INSECTS_ compilation
6) second sight (demo) - from _donde esta los INSECTS_ compilation
7) unidentified song - possible early demo
8) de-luxe (alternate single edit) - from a U.S. promo
9) chirpy chirpy cheep cheep [Middle of the Road cover] _Alvin Lives in Leeds_
10) And David Seaman Will Be Very Disappointed About That...-from Lillies flexi
11) hey hey helen [Abba cover] - from Peel session
12) leaves me cold - from Peel session
13) breeze - from Peel sessions
14) superblast! [remix]
15) outdoor miner [Wire cover] - from For Love e.p.
16) astronaut - from For Love e.p.
17) fallin' in love - from Black Spring e.p.
18) desire lines (demo) - from _13 Year Itch_ -
Side 2
1) stray (choirmaster mix) - Drum Club Remix
2) tinkerbell (demo) (3.16) - from _Volume 10_
3) starlust (live) (4.30) - from _in a field of their own_
4) sweetness & light (live) - London 1990, from _Lovers of Today_ boot
5) monochrome (live) - from Cabaret Metro
6) leaves me cold (live) - from Cabaret Metro
7) babytalk (live) - from _Live at St. Sebastian_ boot (2.1.90)
8) childcatcher (live) - from 1994 Black Sessions
9) de-luxe (live) - from 1994 Black Sessions
10) hypocrite (live) - from 1994 Black Sessions
11) cat's chorus (live) - from ICA 13yritch show

13) leave's me cold (live) - from ?? (Cord's tape)
14) stray (hole in the sky mix) (excerpt) - from Drum Club remixes
(I don't know why I just wrote that, now EVERYBODY'S gonna
wanna copy...)
3) There is no number 3.
4) I like scheer. I found a copy of the "I Wish You Were
Dead" CDsingle in England in this summer and it has grown on
me. Indie-rock with one element of seventies cock-rock thrown
going around these days, why is Scheer the only band to indulge
in this seventies signature sound? I dunno, I think it's
moderately funny and self-mocking in a Breeders, Nomeansno,
Driptank (SD band) sorta way.
5) SanDiego Body Shops have the give away CD.
6) Is the Area stuff ever gonna be reissued on CD?
Is all. This is Reality signing off (for another 6 months?)

how about sixteendeluxe or the swirlies? perhaps a little poppier than, say,
lovesliescrushing or fsa, but i think sixteendeluxe's _backfeed magnetbabe_ is
plenty noisy and the swirlies' _blonder tongue audio baton_ is quite excellent
as well. both put on excellent live shows as well!

I belong to this newsgroup because i *felt* that it was a forum in
which i could get and share information about a common interest in music that
i hoped others on this list shared. If they cared so much about the music,
maybe they would HELP those who god-forbid missed something and clued them
in. That would be doing something useful- instead of wasting the bandwidth
in attacking them. I really didnt think the (atti) 'tude would affect this
group but its burrowed in.
i will not elaborate too much more on how this really pisses me off, as
ryan and srilank have already done this briefly and more articulately (a
word?) than I could be at this hour.
Maybe this is why i am very shy and chose not to post because i feel too
intimidated because I AM NOT an *expert* at everything about everything on
this list. I just know what i like.
By the way, i use AOL because it is faster for me to go through my
newsgroups than my univ. acct, and i have too much other shit to do than hang
on the net all day, reading bashings.

Hello,
I am sorry to have purged my reader and be unable to find the name of the peopl
e who have made contributions about L.G.'s LP recently, not favourable at all.
I think it deserves some defence too.
I can remember Brendan describing in an interview from 1991 or 1992, how he and
Lisa give shape to DCD music, where he pointed out the fact that Lisa would
always bring 'feminity', which meant a lot of emotional and sensual response, w
hile he has always been percieved as the 'rational' and 'intellectual' half of
the group. I think this is a good model, even if not completely satisfactory, t
o describe the phenomenon. Now we have both elements split (at least musically)
one can see it clearly.
Lisa finally got rid of all the DCD limitations, which resulted from the band's
image and their fans' expectations. This setting up borders to what can be pres
ented to general public has become really annoying with their two last LPs, esp
ecially since the US promotion. I had a feeling of self-censorship, and especia
lly in Lisa's parts. People used to get extatic during concerts on Cantara perf
ormance, but a series of chants has always had to be intterrupted by something
that would keep the audience awake.
So we have got now PURE Lisa, without Brendans philosophic subtleties and moral
indications. Some may well find it boring, she's much more monotonous in style,
or 'ambience' as you prefer. Some may also find it too harsh and boring, but t
hen, remember, she hasn't a work just by herself since 'It'll End in Tears' (at
least I have no info about it), and I do not know if any of them have ever wor
ked with a bigger orchestra. So she also has to learn to handle things, even
if she spent 100 hours in front of her computer.
I don't want to say the LP is marvellous. No, some pieces sound like earlier
ideas re-worked (the last one - almost "The summoning of the Muse" with a diffe
rent sampler!), some seem hasty improvisations, finally her Haendel cover is
something I skip every time I listen to the record. But there is a lot of
beautiful poetry in it, a lot of dreaming and also some of this primordial
energy she is able to recreate like nobody else. "Glorafin" (or "Gloradin", I c
an never remember that, the one with the pulsing rythm) I find extremely moving
even more than "Cantara" I think, because it's so simple and yet so intensive
it's hard not to dance to it weirdly.
Put in this way, the record IS successful, because if we think what Lisa was in
Dead Can Dance and what she woud be able to present as herself, it's just "The
Mirror Pool". Actually TMP IS unpretentious, as she does not pretend to be
another person. She does what she has always been doing, she has just more free
dom and no obligation to appeal to rock-oriented fans who then put on Lush or s
omething on their CD and say, hell, that's the groove.
So, I am satisfied, I got what I wanted since 1984, and I hope the next release
s will be better, maybe made with more reflection and technical mastery. But ac
tually what I want from Lisa and what she seems to give graciously is her voice
and her drowned world.
Sorry if that was as long and boring as the mirror pool.

P.S. John's comments seem to be in response to something that Jens wrote.
I wonder what it was. My money says it was the thing about "Love Will Tear
Us Apart" having cheesy synths. I think Joy Division's "LWTUA" is a
brilliant song; in fact it used to be my all-time fave song. But when Jens
said it had cheesy synths I kinda thought "He's right! But who cares, I

Ok, I waited to hear feedback; and having heard none so far, I was wondering
if anyone could offer an opinion on either of the two above. I heard the
commercial; but I'd like additional opinions (e? anyone?) before I decide
whether or not to get either of these.

e, you mean sob. Now go and personally apologize to all 2.5 million AOL users
and maybe, *just* maybe you won't get a phone call in the middle of the night
from Steve Case. Better yet, make an appearance in the MEN4MEN or

I'm going to echo Will's recommendation for this album. It is
quite good, and N D records is one of the best labels in Austin.
Other things they have released are:
2 excellent CDs by PBK, CDs from Factory Press, Maeror Tri, Brume,
et. al.
I wouldn't recommmend the Vidna Obmna CD "Ending Mirage", but then
I find all of his work to be horribly boring.
Also, anyone who visits Austin *must* drop by thirty-three degrees,
the record store run by Dan from N D.

Well, after years of searching, I finally found a copy of Shelleyan Orphan's
first album, _Helleborine_. The copy I am getting is on vinyl, and I was
wondering if anyone knew if there was ever a cd version put out. Also, did
they put out any singles or anything? I have their other two albums, a
promo cd, all the stuff from TMC, and a 7" I stumbled across once. Does
anyone know if they put out anything else?

Forgive me, I know this is unrelated to the subject matter of this mailing
list, but I couldn't help wondering...WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE BE PROUD TO
BE ON AOL!
I don't know where you live and what your local internet providers offer or
what their rates are, but I would wager that it is more economical than
AOL. If I'm not mistaken, AOL costs $9.95 per month and you only get 5
hours of online time. Anything beyond that is billed at $2.95 an hour. (I
could go on and talk about how AOL tries to censor what their subscribers
can see on the net or how 144 is the FASTEST connnection you can usually
hope for, but I'll stick to berating you for purely economical reasons.)
Where I live, most local providers charge about $20 a month for an
uncensored SLIP or PPP connection with unlimited connect hours. I'm no
mathematical genius, but it doesn't take one to figure out that you get
more "bang for your buck" by using someone other than AOL. But, hey...
maybe you're "DAMN PROUD OF IT" because you've got money to burn and you
like having AOL decide what is and is not appropriate for you to have
access to????

I love reading stuff like this. When a band that is the embodiment of
mediocre, Red House Painters, leaves the label, it is decried by some as
one of the worst things to EVER happen to 4AD... I'm just thinking,
HELLO?? Can Mark take a singing lesson or two? PLEASE?
Lush is FAR from mediocre, and definitely NOT irritating.

I did catch them... last night...their last night with Belly. Jewel
opened...whatever. Catherine Wheel came out and announced that the
drummer wasn't there because his brand new baby girl that was born last
weekend just died Wednesday morning. They did an acoustic set, which was
quite nice. They did rock out for Here Comes the Pain, with Chris Gorman
from Belly on drums... but the annoying keyboard tape they played in the
background really grated. Belly rocked, of course. I've never seen
someone have as much fun on stage as Gail... yeah. Angry Catholic School

I've been meaning to review the Swirlies show from
two weeks ago, so here goes. It was everything I expected
it to be, and more, even though there's only half the
original band left-- Seana's gone on to Syrup, and who
knows where the drummer went to. But it didn't matter.
The new drummer's playing was identical to the former,
and the new girl does a good Seana. They played many of the
favorites from Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (Bell, Jeremy
Parker, others [it's been two weeks]) and What To Do About
Them (Tall Ships, Upstairs) plus a bunch of new songs
that keep along the same general lines as BTAB, so
any worries about them slipping downhill are unfounded.
It's good to see that a band has decided to be CONSISTENT
for a change, rather than alienating their whole fan base.
Change is over-rated. Anyway, the crowd was really small,
due in part probably to
the mixup/show cancellation the previous night. Maybe
about 20 people total (with notable absences by kelli-jeane
and jOHN). Despite someone shouting "Pancake" after every
song, that one wasn't played. Too bad more people didn't show--
is the LA chapter of this list just plain dead, or what?

Helleborine WAS released on CD in both the UK
(rough trade) and the US (Columbia) with
different track orders between them, and a different
version of "Anatomy Of Love" on each. There are other
very subtle differences which I haven't fully documented yet.
As I seem to end up reporting every 6 months or so,
the US/UK versions of Century Flower were similarly
different with two different versions of
"Between Two Waves", but the same track order. Also
the UK vinyl plays at 45 rpm, but I seem to remember
the speed being ever so slightly off.
As for EPs, I know of the following:
Cavalry Of Cloud 12"
Anatomy of Love 12" (I need this one. Anyone, anyone?)
Shatter 12"
All of these have non-album tracks. I don't know about
any 7" or CD-EP releases. "Dead Cat" was supposedly the
single from Humroot, but I don't know if it was ever
released as such. There is a pre-release tape of Humroot
with a very subtly different version of "Dead Cat" which
was remixed for the album.
Shatter
Dead Cat
maybe some others? (anyone? feel free to chime in at any time)

Yes, it's on CD. After years of having the vinyl and searching for the CD i
finally found it last year at a used CD store.

They have several neat 12"'s, none of which i have. My college room
mate had several 12"'s back in 1990 and i remember them having non-album
tracks and dramatically re-worked album tracks too. I remember some poem
put to music as one of the non-album tracks--it was neat. I remember that
...southern bess, a field holler... song being released as a single way back
when i didn't even have a record player yet (1985 or so).
Maybe Brant has more info.
Good luck finding them and let me know if you do find those 12"'s.

I have "Helleborine" on cd--I bought it on cassette after "Century Flower"
was released,
and then while visiting my mother in Miami I found the cd (domestic US
release on Columbia/Rough Trade) as a cut-out for about $5.00!!! That was
about 3 years ago...so start skewering through those cut-out bins in strange
parts of the country. Also: the cd comes with the lyrics! I also have the
"Waking Up" promo--do you have that one?

we were there. jOHN hung with the band all night and some guy
we met the night before who wound up giving us a ride to this
particular show. i had a li'l too much to drink and was left to
fend for myself at a table while some creep was pawing at me
until i was finally sober enough stand and get out of the place.

Michael Franz has interviewed Lisa Gerrard and you can read it here:
http://gaysource.com:80/gs/ht/nov95/gerrard.html
There is also a review of The Mirror Pool here:
http://gaysource.com:80/gs/ht/oct95/mirrorpool.html
Original URL: http://www.gaysource.com/ (aesthetica section)
Here's a piece:
GS: The video was beautiful. How involved were you in the
selection of images used in the video?
LG: I wasn't very involved at all. I spoke to Nigel [Grierson] on
the phone and one thing that I really wanted to do with this
project, because of the work that I've done with Brendan over the
years where we've been so involved in everything and sometimes
I've thought, well that's OK but I wonder whether we've stopped
the true potential of this other person from coming into being. I
really wanted to just let Nigel be. When we talked about the piece
and he told me what it meant to him, I felt that this was the time
to respect the work of the other man. He's very, very competent,
and I was really happy with the result. It's wonderful.
Has anyone seen this video? I hope I can see it sometime...
GS: I understand you and Brendan have began working on a new album?
LG: We've been working for about seven months on a sort of
transcendental...rhythm... It's absolutely a huge animal. I don't
think even we know what to do with it at this stage. It's a very
large work, very strong. There's also Brendan's solo project
that's coming out.
GS: Any idea when that's going to be out?
LG: He's doing a little work on it right now. He might finish it
before we get back together. It's practically finished. It's very,
very beautiful, very powerful.
GS: I read rumors in the French press that you two had almost
broken up?
LG: There's a sign on the wall in a shop where I live and it says,
" Nothing much happens around here but the rumors make up for it."
GS: So you generate the rumors to keep the intrigue going, right?
LG: Maybe.

There are two CDs available that I know of, when they were called
Earwig. One is called Under My Skin I Am Laughing and the other
is a compilation of earlier stuff called Past. UMSIAL is more
similar to Insides than Past, but Past is AWESOME. It's one of
my top ten favorite CDs. It is more scruffy than the other
recordings. It's also hard to find. Also, I think there is
an EP out with them as Insides and the last I heard, some reviewer
at Melody Maker or NME got a tape of two songs from them that he
loved. They aren't on a label now and the reviewer swore that if
no one else released their stuff, he would.

I my post, everywhere I mentioned the song "Dead Cat"
I meant to say "Burst". That was the single/video/
remixed song on Humroot.
That's what I get for doing this all from memory...
The video for Shatter is the "Ophilia" one. It's a truly wonderful
video! From our interview:
submerged in a very, very cold lake, and you have a wet suit on underneath your
dress which is really uncomfortable anyway,
and you have to put your head out of
the water, supporting it with your neck muscles so that you can
hear the backing
track to sing to- I mean I was in a terrible state at the end of that; they had
to get me whiskey and everything 'cause my teeth were chattering! It was good
fun, I mean it's like being tortured for a few hours, but it was good fun as
well.
they've got lots of
lakes and everything. I think the director just had a very...
he was obsessed with Ophilia, that painting... do you know the painting?
That's really what he wanted to conjure up. I was a bit frustrated because
we'd been typed "pre-Raphaelite" blah, blah, blah., ever since we began, and at
the end of the day we ended up doing a Pre-Raphaelite video! [laughs] It was
really funny, they gave me this sort of antique dress, and I really didn't like
it, 'cause it came right up to the top of my neck and it was really
uncomfortable to wear, but as soon as I went into this lake, I was covered in
sludge and slime. I mean you probably can't see it in the video, but when I got
out of that lake, it looked like I had been collecting rubbish for a couple of
weeks. It was really funny! [laughs] ...not quite what they wanted, you know.
Some other tracks to look for:
"Ice" on the Columbia promo-only comp New Edge Music
"Suffer Dog" on The Liberator - Artists For Animals
some cover song on a tribute album, Lloyd Cole or Lou Reed,
or someone (anyone?)
Caroline's on the Spiritualized song "The Slide Song"

I have a promo lp that I picked up for three bucks (!!) at a store a few
months ago. One side is a shorter mix of clear skin, the other side is
another mix of it and a version of "Distractions" whick is quite different
from the album version.

Thanks to everyone for the good info on Shelleyan Orphan. Now that I've
heard some responses, though, I was wondering if it's possible to get ahold
of any of those videos. Also, does anyone know if they are still together,
or if they are planning on releasing anything in the future?
Thanks,
Jake
