To generate a little music discussion I'd like to pose an intresting
question. I got onto this list for the Pixies and other Kim Deal projects,
and I am forced to confess my ignorance on "classic" 4ad bands such as This
Mortal Coil, and others, However with any luck I may be able to scrape
together enough $ for a new CD, what TMC album should I buy?

> seriously, let's talk music. real music. pick an album, or band..and
> go on a writing spree about it/them.
ok, but you're all going to HATE me because it's not a 4ad band!
for me, the album would have to be The Boo Radley's "Giant Steps" (yes,
this shows my relative youth).
It was '93-'94, my senior year in high school, and i needed a change. i
lived in la crosse, wi, so i had no choice but to listen to either classic
rock, top 40, or country. needless to say, i was getting tired of my
classic rock mainstay. then, i stumbled across giant steps in a used bin.
the band name was the greatest i'd ever heard, and the album was soon mine
because of it.
i took it home, listened to it, and discovered its brilliance. who were
these strange men who fused noise and pop to please my ears so? i had to
hear more, and meriel barham's voice on "rodney king" led me to buy the
pale saints' in ribbons, which slowly became my favorite cd (eventually
eclipsed by comforts of madness and mrs. dolphin).
a brother of a friend was minorly into dreampop, and got me turned on to
lush, which later brought me into the 4ad thing. after discovering
eyesore, and subscribing to dewdrops, i joined this list (about april/may).
previous interest in a few other thislisty bands like spoonfed hybrid,
slowdive, stereolab, and the cocteaus made me a relatively frequent
contributor to the list.
since joining the list, i've been turned onto pram, fsa, fsol, and many more.
i doubt any of this would have happened had it not been for the brilliant
"giant steps." (wiped tear from his eye)

sent them to the wrong place. 50 lashes of a wet noodle! Please forgive me!
ob4ad (has to be something there, right?) -- I looked for the body shop
cd here in Richmond, Va and all they had was the Domestic Violence thing
(almost got it, it's a good cause, even if the music is crap, does that
save me from being a mean and snotty flame-prone 4ad'er?). The lady had
no idea what I was talking about, but was very willing to try and get it
in for me if I knew what it ws called. Of course I blanked and sais,
"Well, my friends on the 8i'Net call it the body shop cd". Good one,
eh? I guess school has finally fried my brain.......
And personally, I don't think 4ad has gone downhill -- I think the
entire music scene has gone downhill completely. Now the only place you
can get good music is from word of mouth through small indie labels.
Seems to me like things were much better back in '90. But then again, my
tastes were much more mainstream then, back before the raise of Toe Jam,
eh, Pearl Jam..........can anyone relate? I think y'all do. Just a few
years ago, hanging out with my friends from high school, I remember
discussing with them how cool it would be if "new wave" got to be
popular. We could hear our fave tunes on the radio all the time. Well,
new wave is now "alternative", and it's now mainstream, supposedly. Just
goes to show you should be careful what you wish for........

first off....this kind of review is why although einexile can be a wanker
(in his own words, mind you. :) ) he is actually a very important member
of this li'l community of ours. great job!
now...the real point. i have to agree with e. to a certain extent.
listening to otherness tonight it really hit me how much the cocteaux
are all over this ep. listen to some of those guitar sounds! wow!
altough i'm a huge seefeel fan i have to say that many of these sounds
would neverever show up on seefeel record.....they are quite
guthrie-esque (for lack of a better term)....very "bright&sparkly" while
seefeel has more of an engulfing mass of cold air sound (or something)
admittedly, some of the sounds are mark's: the fuzz on FLF & quite a few of
the drum sounds for example. compare "Seekers..." to "When Face Was Face".
yep, those are mark's drums.
this idea that mark loves the cocteaux and really threw himself into this
ep is a rather good one. this kind of mutual respect in bands (artists)
garners a lot of respect from me. i don't really want to start the
debate again, but i think it's safe to say that seefeel was probably
influenced by the cocteaux at one point. this ep completes the circle
with the cocteaux drawing on seefeel (in a sense).
earlier tonight i was thinking of comparing otherness to the moon and the
melodies. what?! are you insane?! well...look at it this way: this is
the only other collaborative project the cocteaux have ever done
(excluding side-project work). it could also be looked at this way:
otherness is as much a markclifford ep as TM&TM is a harold budd album.
yesyesyes i realize that the writing process is different, blah blah
blah, but i think the comparison can be made. maybe it should not have
the name cocteau twins on the sleeve, but instead:
Clifford | Fraser | Guthrie | Raymonde. hee hee hee. (i'm just kidding
about that, okay?)
of course, now that i've read e.'s review i'm beginning to think this is
just a really damn cool cocteaux ep.

I have noticed that when people post reviews and musings, it actually
puts an end to flames, or at least the flames that don't belong here
(i.e. personal insults and goody two shoes netpolicing). This is one
reason having a 'thislisty' is good and one reason I post so much
irrelevant ambient crap here. :)

Personally I can't stand a list where someone can get away with accusing
someone with whom they disagree of stupidity, drug addiction, whatever.
Whether these are serious accusations doesn't matter so much as that a
perfectly legit argument is being written off.
> Put some at least some
> fairly well-thought-out criticism in your messages,

I don't think it's honorable or honest to slag an album or band without
going into detail. Personal taste is irrelevant if you're making a
*judgement* of a work. Let's talk about craft, about originality, about
artistic consistancy and integrity.
> > No auction bids or updates to the entire list.
But now people are scared to post any list at all, and frankly I find
writing someone personal mail to have them send you a list so you can see
if you are interested AT ALL is kind of a pain in the neck. Just for the
record, is there anyone on this list who objects to someone posting what
they have up for grabs ONCE?
I personally don't see any problems with small updates if they are tacked
onto a relevant post but I know most others don't agree with this.
> I hope some of this makes sense.
I'd like to add something. It's just not very nice or classy to yell at
people who are new, who make innocent mistakes, who do something dumb or
rude one time because they don't yet have their list legs. Send a polite
personal message; if it's really a generally accepted rule that's been
broken do we need to discuss it here?
Also, despite what I wrote last night, I do agree that accurate subject
headers are the way to go. Lord knows I have been harping on this
forever, which is why I balked at the 'lazy bastard' comment.
I think Autechre definitely belong in the FAQ, as well as the addresses
to some other mailing lists for thislisty artists--Cranes, Bel Canto,
&atT, etc. Some of these friendly little guidelines couldn't hurt matters
by being in there, either.

I'll second that! Those friendly guidlines seem like the most thoughtful
post to recently grace this list. (but that's not the reason i wrote).

Agreed. Though the Bel Canto list (Dewy Fields) address is given the Cranes
and &atT lists are not so you should provide Jens with the info. There's a
web page listed for And Also the Trees though.
I'm not sure how many people actually read the FAQ but i hope any new person
on this list takes the oportunity to do that. It's really got a lot of
useful information and it saves others from answering the same questions
over and over.
For all of you who don't have the FAQ webpage bookmarked, here's the address

Quoth SortSol:
SS> P.S. What does my not being on the list for very long have to do with
SS> anything you fucking snobs!!!
Because we're fucking _elitist_ snobs, kid, that's why. :) 4AD-L is a
great karmic wheel, and the odds are very good that if you spend more than
three months on the list you'll see the wheel do a complete revolution.
The same personalities with the same obsessions making the same arguments
about the same bands over and over again. Of course, the same could be
said about just about any music discussion list or newsgroup on the
internet (idm, anybody?), but that could be construed as a cynical
overgeneralization (cynical, me?).
It's reassuring to me, after dropping out of the list for at least two
years (and after being subscribed to the list since 1990), to come back to
_exactly_ the same people acting like complete idiots and to see other
folks engaging in the same pointless discussions of 4AD's current
suckitude vis a vis its glorious past. It makes me feel all fuzzy and
nostalgic. Especially because I engage in exactly the same kind of
defeatist bitching myself. I thought 4AD was on an express train to Hell
until I got the Mojave CD and heard the Amps. For all that, though, you'd
still have to start handing me crisp new $100 bills before you could
persuade me to listen to Lisa Germano or Kendra Wilson.
Ob4AD: What's with saying that Mojave are "country" and some sort of
radical departure for Rachel & Neal? The progression from _Souvlaki_ to
_Pygmalion_ to _3_ seems clear to me. They've been gradually weaning
themselves from the effects pedals ever since the "Slowdive" EP. In fact,
the first few times I listened to _Pygmalion_ and _3_ (I bought both
albums on the same, deranged day that I spent $300 on a big pile of
hardcore techno) I could have sworn that one of the songs on _3_ was a
different version of one of the songs on _Pygmalion_. Does it mean
something that I can't recall any of the songs after I listen to the CD (I
hasten to add that I like both _3_ and _Pygmalion_ bunches, though)?

Well, the major thing you omitted is the Lilys' "In the Presence Of
Nothing", which is a really, really nice take on the whole MBV "Loveless"
sound. It was released on Slumberland in '92. The Lilys have two later
albums which are not of the same sound; I haven't heard them but they get
mixed reviews.
You have of course heard Sonic Youth's early stuff, right? I can't
recommend "Bad Moon Rising" ('85) and "EVOL" ('86) too highly if you're
looking for spacey guitar noise, and "Confusion Is Sex" ('83) is good too
although _very_ raw.
In a more ambient vein, look for the Virgin "Isolationism" compilation.
Lots of great scary noisy yet quiet music...
>I just got MBV's YMMR, and it's pretty good too, although I think
>it's a little derivative from Isn't Anything.
Actually this came out before "Isn't Anything", but they were both in the
same year so they are definitely very similar.

Wouldn't it be easier just to mention the name of the band or the title of
the record your post is about - it would make the '4ad' or 'thislisty'
headings irrelevant. Moreover, I'd say the majority of people on this list
*are* interested in stuff other than just 4ad releases and this seems like
the place to discuss them, for better or for worse. 4ad stuff is really a
subset of the whole thislisty genre - it's just unfortunate that this list
had to start as one devoted to a single label. Look at some lists devoted to
one band - they don't often stay on topic either.
>Ah, some smart alec says, what about if I want to talk about something in

Posting separately for every single topic just clutters up the list. If
there's something in a post that interests you and something that doesn't,
how long does it take to realise that part of it isn't your cup of lapsang
and just ignore that paragraph? As long as everyone writes message headings
that describe the content of the post, there should be no problem.

I'm not sure where this was posted originally; it was forwarded to me.
Non-4AD of course, and I think Scorn are teetering on the edge of
thislistiness, but I know a number of people here like them. There's
certainly not a big step from Seefeel to Scorn these days...

I just saw the "Unpopular 4AD albums" message and thought about my
recent visit to my local 2 hand shop. After listening to Frank Black's
Teenager of the year LP I decided it wasn't for me. Then I found The The's
Blue Soul Mining(?) on CD and gave it a listen. I couldn't quite get into it. I
ave Infected
as well as some 12" which I really enjoy. Maybe it's coz they are mixed by

I just got the v23 'Modern Calender' in the mail (there's no sign that it is
a calender for 1996!). All I can say is that I'm.... slightly disappointed.
Just 13 (14) nice pictures. I think the 1993 calender was far better and
maybe the 1990 was better too.
And no decorated cardboard box, just the calender. The calender is also not
part of the 4AD catalogue (the cat.# is MINTY 23), so officially it doesn't
count as another nail in 4AD's coffin :) :)

There is a TMC box set sitting in a local record store for $45. The shrink
wrap is torn off but for 4 discs costing the usual $50 to $70 this is a good
price. I think that the TMC box set is discontinued. E-mail me privately if
you wish to buy this excellent box set.
I was wondering if anyone has access to the new Mojave 3 cd on import. I've
been combing all of the record stores in the PRovidence and Boston area and
have been coming up empty. If anyone has access to one I will pay all
shipping and handling and cost of the record and have my heartfelt gratitude.
Thanks.

Well, if you like Kim Deal, buy Blood. It has her and Tanya Donnelly
singing 'You and Your Sister'. If you want the more, how did you put it,
'classic 4AD' sound, It'll End in Tears is great with lots from members
of Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance and Colourbox, but Filigree and Shadow
is also pretty spectacular too, if you want the 75 or so minute epic type
of recording.
Hell, save up money and buy all three. :)

about the cd, other than "the jeweler" is a wonderful song. the other
album i've heard is "blood," and i thought it was terrible. sorry. not
much help.
last night i had this really weird dream. i can't remember anything about
it, but it had "pack yr romantic mind" playing over and over throughout the
dream (which lasted about an hour). i woke up this morning and listened to
the song five times in a row. wow!

When I saw Th Faith Healers play in San Francisco, during a quiet bit
between songs where people were yelling out requests, someone yelled
"Super-Electric!" and Joe grinned and started to play the drum part.
(Unfortunately the rest of the band didn't join in.) This was the same
show where I yelled out "Mother Sky!" as loud as I could and they
actually played it, the first time I've ever had that work (or maybe it
was just next on the set list anyway.)
And hey! Whatever happened to the impending re-release of "L'" on
American Records? I never saw it show up.

By all means. Get the box set. Hell, the original versions that comes with it
is almost worth the price alone. Speaking of which...has anyone got any info on
The Apartments?
And I must add that the photographs in the book that comes with the box must be
some of the finest to emerge from v23. Right up there with the snaps from
Doolittle.

I've got to add my $0.02 here...the Lilys 2nd proper album (Eccsame the
Photon Band) is either just in the top 5 on '94/'95 (came out the end of
'94) or it might be the single best album. (The single best new band
honor would have to go to The For Carnation) This album takes a bit of
MBV, a lot of Sgt. Pepper (in a good way - not the hokey crap most bands
do) and a lot of drugs and make the fantastic, psychedelic, slowcore
album of the past few years. Its hard to compare against others as its
somewhat of an enigma...but listen for yourself. Has anyone here??

And here it is:
Mark Kozelek Solo Album Causes Red House Painters To Leave 4AD
Photo by Jay Blakesberg (go to the web-page to view this one)
Addicted To Noise editor Michael Goldberg reports: The Red House Painters,
led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Kozelek, have, parted ways with 4AD
Records. The group recorded four albums and one EP for the label. Their
most recent album was the gorgeous Ocean Beach, released earlier this year.
According to Kozelek, who I spoke with recently, the parting came after he
delivered a solo album to 4AD that he recorded with musicians other than
the members of Red House Painters. "I found a few musicians, liked way they
played, and said, 'Let's go up to a studio and make a record,' " said
Kozelek. "We went up to Mendocino, middle of the fucking woods. There was
no planning. I showed them songs, and we started recording them. We kept
the 2nd take. Sometimes the 1st take." He described the album, which I
haven't yet heard, as "a loose, lively sounding record. I play all the
guitars. That's a first for me." Kozelek said there were "rock songs" on
the album. "Distorted guitars, sort of a rock feeling. Like '70s Neil
Young/ Crazy Horse feeling on the record." 4AD owner Ivo didn't care for
five or six songs, and, according to Kozelek, found the guitar solos
"irritating." Faced with the option of reworking the material, or leaving
the label, Kozelek chose to take a hike. "We don't want to keep putting out
the same record over and over," said Kozelek of the Red House Painters, who
are continuing as a group and will perform the material on the album once
it's released on another label (several companies have made offers). "The
feeling we were getting from 4AD was that we couldn't go in a studio and
have fun any more," said Kozelek. "We couldn't make the record we wanted to
make."
Er... so this in fact 0% 4AD...

not to be nitpicky (i.e. you probably already know this but just in case...)
"another day" was originally Tim Buckley. "Mr. Somewhere" was the Apartments.
Speaking of which, has anyone ever found the album of the original song? I
think it's _fucking brilliant_, even better than the minor deity Ms.
Crawley's treatment of it, and I've never seen it anywhere. Any idea of
it's availability or if the rest of it is any good?
Thanks,
Jake

Hmm, I don't know. I think I only paid about $47.99 for the thing sealed.
If the box and booklet are in fairly decent condition and not too
shelfworn, I'd say buy it, but not otherwise. There are a couple of shops
here in Austin that still have sealed copies, so the set is not really
rare yet.

I recently purchased a comp. tape put out by the Sombient label entitled
_Throne of Drones_. The title is very indicative of the pieces themselves,
in that they are, for lack of a *better* description, 'drone-y'.
I only recall a few of the names that were included on this (Iso-ambient
orchestra & Steve Roach) as even after a few listens the whole thing could be
mistook as one artist.
My q.
Does someone have an address for Sombient (as I would like to give this a
listen on cd) or if anyone has heard this comp., any comparable
recommendations?

I finally got my 4AD catalogue in the mail, but I've still got a few
questions. First, does this automatically put me on the mailing list for
all those things like free 7"'s and Christmas cards? Second, I got mine
from 4AD UK. If I were to get it from 4AD US would I be able to order
things through the US office or would it still go through the UK?
Basically, I just want to know if it would be less costly and more expedient
to get a new catalogue from the US office.
Thanks,

I haven't heard any of their newer material, but I absolutely love Madra. I
still need to go out and get a copy. I've heard that their newer music has
a lot more of an ambient feel to it (for those who haven't heard it, Madra
is basically their rendition of medieval madrigals). Is this true?

I recently heard that Richard Ashcroft is getting back with the other
members of Verve, except Nick McGabe. There will also be 3 new people
and they are *supposed* to have a single out in early 96...Does anyone
know if there is any truth to this rumor?

The only other things I know of are:
Big Shot / Reserve Shot Gunman
A-side is the album version. B-side is one of the best things they've
ever done, a piece of all-out techno with their regular instrumentation,
incl. guitars and real drums and only bits of keyboard. During the
breaks, instead of samples, you get piles of feedback. Awesome, but good
luck finding it.
Blue / Hex / Big Shot(?) remix
"Blue" is more or less in the same style as the album "Hex" but more
upbeat and with synthesized bass and drums. "Hex" is incredibly noisy.
The remix (is it "Big Shot" or some other album track? I forget) is
redone as all-synths. Worth picking up for the completist but there's
nothing really good on it.
Half of BP have also release two(?) EPs under the name Boymerang. Andrew
Norman can provide more info, I've never seen or heard either one.
Supposedly the band are still together, but they haven't released
anything since '94.

Sorry to clutter up mailboxes...
Adam, I cannot send to you directly.
Well, I had to pay a bit for them $25 - $35.
Found them at a local record store here in Milwaukee.
I could probably order more if you are
interested, but I'm short of cash now.
When I bought these two, there was
one more available, but I already had most
of the songs on CD.

THE NATURAL LIFE CYCLE OF MAILING LISTS
Every list seems to go through the same cycle:
1. Initial enthusiasm (people introduce themselves, and gush
alot about how wonderful it is to find kindred souls).
2. Evangelism (people moan about how few folks are posting to
the list, and brainstorm recruitment strategies).
3. Growth (more and more people join, more and more lengthy
threads develop, occasional off-topic threads pop up)
4. Community (lots of threads, some more relevant than others;
lots of information and advice is exchanged; experts help other
experts as well as less experienced colleagues; friendships
develop; people tease each other; newcomers are welcomed with
generosity and patience; everyone---newbie and expert alike---
feels comfortable asking questions, suggesting answers, and
sharing opinions)
5. Discomfort with diversity (the number of messages increases
dramatically; not every thread is fascinating to every
reader; people start complaining about the signal-to-noise
ratio; person 1 threatens to quit if *other* people don't
limit discussion to person 1's pet topic; person 2 agrees
with person 1; person 3 tells 1 & 2 to lighten up; more
bandwidth is wasted complaining about off-topic threads
than is used for the threads themselves; everyone gets
annoyed)
6a. Smug complacency and stagnation (the purists flame everyone
who asks an 'old' question or responds with humor to a serious
post; newbies are rebuffed; traffic drops to a doze-producing
level of a few minor issues; all interesting discussions happen
by private email and are limited to a few participants; the
purists spend lots of time self-righteously congratulating
each other on keeping off-topic threads off the list)
OR
6b. Maturity (a few people quit in a huff; the rest of the
participants stay near stage 4, with stage 5 popping up briefly
every few weeks; many people wear out their second or third
'delete' key, but the list lives contentedly ever after)

"Another Day" was written by Roy Harper. As for the Apartments, they have a
fairly new release out that is quite available domestically (U.S. that is).
It is quite good as well.
Anybody on the whereabouts of Mary Margaret O'Hara's "Miss America" LP (from
whence "Help Me Lift You Up" came). I'm desparate for this release
(especially on vinyl). Sleevies by Messr. Bigg. Her voice is quite

It still goes through the U.K. unfortunately (you'd think that since Ivo

To get a new catalogue from the U.S. office would be cheaper and easier ($2,
I think). I once saw a 4AD catalogue in a record store in Atlanta that they
were selling for $7.50!!! What a joke/rip-off (although I'm sure someone's
bought it by now).
As for that freeby stuff, I don't know. I don't think that the U.S. office is
very up on maintaining their mailing list.

I have a different one called "Gothic Spleens" but actually i seem
to remember that there are two pairs of duplicate boot CD's with different
names and different covers that are from the same concert. so, be careful.
It used to be that the Dead Can Dance page had a listing of all the
CD bootlegs (there are quite a few) with sleeve scans, the incorrect track
listings (the ones on the back), the correct track listings, and a short
evaluation of the sound quality etc.. Shortly after the DCD page became
official Brendan asked to have those removed from the webpage (for obvious
reasons) BUT darn it all---that function of the webpage is deeply missed.
Did anyone happen to download all that information and would be willing to
share it with us? There's certainly a need for this information since you
want to get the most out of your ill-bought booty.
I can imagine a renegade webpage with the aforementioned information
along with sound snippets (heck, they're not legally copyrighted by the
people making the money anyway). :) Anyone volunteering?

I would hazard a guess to say that the abovementioned Shift is not the shoey
shiFt that a number of us admire and adore, as the real (at least for me)
shiFt seems to gig almost as often as... well, not very often, and almost
exclusively in Austin. In fact, I'm almost willing to bet some money that
the band playing tomorrow night is some mediocre punkrawk band (nothing
against punk necessarily, just largely superfluous in my book...). Instead,
stay home, save yr money, order the CD from N D, and start looking forward
their forthcoming 7" (also on N D).
Cheers,
