Heart of Glass... although I'm not positive that's the one with
the foghorn sounds. There're so many songs on F&S, it's hard to remember
which is which, especially the instrumentals. But that album really does
have a nice ambient flow for the last third or quarter of the way
through. I agree about Thais I & II, those lush keyboards with the
helicopter sound in the background are so soothing.
But I actually like Blood better, I find it a bit more consistent
overall, more balanced and less 'bloated' than F&S. And really really
nice, too.

OMIGOD! I bought my copies of both Filigree & Shadow and Blood at
that SAME PLACE!! I believe it was April 11, 1992. My High School Band
was on 'tour' there. I guess that makes me a young 'un being in HS that
recently. I sense almost everyone else here is quite a bit older than that.
Anyway, talk about coincidence. What are the chances that two people on
this list will visit the same Tower Records and buy the same album there??
And yeah, Blood does rule...
I happened to be in possession of some amount of cash while I was
there, and I also bought CT's _Treasure_, Danny Elfman's _So-Lo_ (excellent
album), Siouxsie & The Banshees Peel Sessions (*raw* production, a gem
from just-after-punk, 1977-1978!), and They Might Be Giants' _Apollo 18_
at that very store. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Ooops, of course i meant to send that to the list, right ;) . Actually, i
have seen a few listserv commands sent here, so it won't hurt to remind
people of what the listserv address is.
To add some actual 4AD content, i'll give my $0.02 worth on the whole This
Mortal Coil fave thing.
Each of the albums have spent time being my favorite mortal coil and
i love them all BUT that doesn't help someone who doesn't know where to
start. So what sets them apart from each other?
1) *It'll End In Tears* has the "early 4AD feel" all over it. It's a
little rougher a little less ... something (i wanna say sappy but...). The
highlights, though, are as high as ever. Liz's decipherable songs have
never compared to "Song to the Siren" and the title track is great too. So
if you like the early CT vs Treasure vs BBK era cocteau AND you like early
DCD vs Serpent's Egg vs recent stuff then you might like It'll End In Tears
best.
2) *Filigree and Shadow* is the longest (at least it seems that
way???). It's the most atmospheric with long instrumentals and where it
really is a great album that is very well crafted. Most of the songs flow
very well from beginning to end. It has the song "The Jeweller" that seems
to be a real crowd pleaser (i love it anyway).
3) *Blood* has to be my favorite though because of the delightful
female singers Deirdre Rutkowski (sp?), Caroline Crawley (Shelleyan Orphan),
etc. really do a great job. "I come and stand at every door..." Ahhhh.
Bliss. A word of caution for those who's tastes are very sensitive to sap.
This album has the most of that "something" that "It'll End in Tears" didn't
have as much of. I can't place it though, it might be the string
arrangements, maybe not. It's very much a culmination of what This Mortal
Coil always had latent in it IMHO. When i first got this album i listened
to it non-stop. It blew me away the same way that His Name Is Alive's *Home
is in Your Head* did. (therefore, maybe it's a good thing they didn't make
that next album, it might have been as much of a let-down as Mouth by Mouth
;) )
If you think you're prone to like all of these disks (a requirement for any
die-hard 4ADer) then you might as well get the boxed set. If that's not an
option, i hope my descriptions helped some of you to figure out the best one
*for you* to start with.

Right,but it wasn't a cd actually;it was on the demo tape they released
in 1985 (the one Ivo got in hands and made him decide to sign an
American band afterall (so said kristin in an inteview in MM))
And yes it is the same song as on the 'holy single',but it is a different

It's unfortunately out-of-print, and yes, it is genius. She
has an amazing voice. I would compare her music somewhat to
the quirkiness (and somewhat shakey, slightly
out-of-tune-ness) of Jane Sibery.

Yes, I cringed slightly at message after message saying the
album was a one-hit-wonder. The whole thing is quite
strong. There was a video for "Body in Trouble", which is
primarily the divine Miss-O standing there having a caffiene
reaction while singing the song -- quite effective.
I have some annecdotes about MMO'H, since I lived in Toronto
where she sometimes plays. The first is about "Miss
America" itself. It seems that she is a bit (or a lot) of a
flake, and the album was bogged down in endless revisions,
and it looked like it would never be finnished. Then,
someone brought in Michael Brook ('nother Canadian) to work
on the project. He was credited by all involved with saving
the album, and making it coherant, etc. General Goodness.
A local entertainment rag (Now Magazine) ran an article on
Mr. Brook, wherein he shyly denied that he had done all that
much for "Miss America", but saying he though MMO'H was
briliant. One week later, they published a scathing letter
from Miss O'Hara (which I wish I'd saved) in which she
basically called Michael Brook a raving ego-maniac, and
saying that he'd been a heavy-handed dictator, coming in on
a nearly complete project, and tried to grab credit for work
that wasn't his, etc. Somewhat contradictary, don't you
think?
I've seen Brook play in a small club, and he was extremely
quiet, self-efacing, and pleasant. I've also seen MMO'H
play at a benefit concert for a local street-shelter, and
she was, to say the least, unstable. Sort of a combination
"Glass Menagerie"/Scarlet figure. She had endless
dificulties setting up her song, and there were various
thick undercurrents with the other musicians on-stage.
I also have a Christmas EP she released about that time, and
it too is good, but who knows why she hasn't released more
material. By the way, she's got many talented siblings,
some of whom are probably more famous than she, especially
sister Katherine.

Yeah, back in the mid-80s, I was playing on a local BBS in Monroe, La. and
someone was asking if anyone could write poetry. I started typing "..I lit
my purest candle close to my window..." and typed the whole song in. There
was silence for a few minutes then everyone started writing "wow, that's
incredible! Did you just write that?" I said "no, it's from a group called
TMC...blah blah blah." It was kind of neat to see the reaction to the lyrics,
though.
Anyway, my favorite songs from each CD.
BLOOD
1) ..til I gain control again.
2) You and Your Sister
3) with tomorrow
4) Mr. Somewhere
F&S
1) My Father
2) Tarantula (just love that piano..regardless if this is Colourbox or TMC)
3) The Jeweller
4) ...all the ambient crap on the second half of the CD
It'll End In Tears
1) I forget the name: "..I didn't touch you..you didn't touch me"
2) Fond Affections (before the Santa Fe Cologne commercial)
3) Holocaust
4) Song To The Siren
Oh, and as long as we're on the kick "who bought what where"; I picked up most
of my Colourbox, Pink Dots, TMC, etc. at Kadair's in Baton Rouge; Woody Dumas'
record shop off of Chimes Street (before they kicked him off of KLSU because
of some issue about missing records and he moved to Oregon) and "New
Generations" back when they used to stock some pretty cool import titles.

Alright, my last 2 bits and then I promise I'll shut up.
As an endorsement for anyone teetering on the edge; consider that I paid like
$15 apiece for tapes of the first two TMCs, (i actually made a dub of the
Filigree and Shadow tape to play for fear it would turn to chipmunks if I
played it too much...) then turned around and spent $20 apiece for CDs of
each, (domestic packaging of Blood SUCKS! Don't be fooled into getting that
ugly yellow CD...) then paid like $50 for the box set when it rolled around.
That's how great this music is to me. Most of the other music I have? I'm
sorry I paid for it on tape or CD; let alone go out and buy it again if it got
stolen.

Excellent description of the three, I'd say. I liked everything you had to
say (except the Mouth by Mouth bit, it being my favorite HNIA album and all).
I'd like to add a little about the often-forgotten first TMC release,
"Sixteen Days - Gathering Dust". "Song to the Siren" is on the B-side (same
as the version on IEIT), with the title track on the first side. The more I
listen to it, the more I like it. Very early 4AD-ish. Come to think of it,
I think I like it better than Modern English's rendition. I think Liz doing
the vocals on it just add a lot to it.

THe box set lists the model in the credits. I assume you're talking

i was just listening to fsa's version of the drowners when i noticed that
near the end of the lyrics, the singer (i forget his name). says
something. it comes at the point in the song after he sings, "stop taking
me over" for the last time, or around 3:55 if you have a cd player, which
fsa would, of course, dissapprove of. dependent clauses rock! whatever he
says is not in the original. does anyone out there know what he's saying?
perhaps it could key us in on why fsa, the antithesis of brit-pop, covered
this song. ideas?

I must say, dear ol Kristen is getting 4AD some bad vibes.
What's next? Father Ivo preaching the new faith through a fourth TMC album?
Maybe he'll start signing all those gospel bands that are flourishing
nowadays. Um, let's see, I must be in a specifically bad mood today to be
taking it out on everyone else, so please, nobody get offended by my touch of
sarcasm..

The Slug and Lettuce gets my vote for the worst
pub name ever. Seemed like a good place, though,
as far as I could tell, being there in the middle
of a weekday. I'll bet it really rocks when 4AD
closes up shop and Vaughan and Chris head on over.
If you ever get by there, there's another good pub
near the top of the hill where Alma Road hits another
street. I remember having a pint and catching part
of a cricket match there during the 13 Year Itch. What
more stereotypically British thing is there? :)
Also, this has nothing to do with 4AD, but I think it's
funny as hell. There is a new brand of beer from somewhere
out here in southern california called Wanker. I know
you don't believe me, but I swear it's true! I had a good
laugh when I came across it a few weeks ago. Each bottle has
a one of three sultry looking women on the label, and the carton
states in big black letters "WANKER". I wonder how many
Americans are going to get the joke? I bet it would do
well in the UK merely as a novelty item. The beer is
actually quite good, surprisingly.

Every time I leave this list and come back, there's something else I
don't know. *Sigh*
Anyways, what exactly is _Mojave_3_? Should I be searching for one?
Were there a _Mojave_1_ and a _Mojave_2_?
Thanks for the help!

Is that bit about "Tim Buckley" correct?? I'm not a huge Tom Waits fan,
so I'm not certain how long he's been making music, but I know Tim Buckley
has been dead for a while, and so I dunno if he would have recorded a COVER
of a Tom Waits song. I could be wrong, but it's my guess that that is
actually JEFF BUCKLEY on the tribute CD and not his dead father, TIM. I
haven't heard the CD yet, so I could be totally wrong...if I'm right, though
that is a MONUMENTAL fuckup on behalf of the record company.
Forgive me if this discussion has already started, I'm in the middle of
reading 70 messages...

Godflesh. Which actually brings me over to something remotely 4ADish. Does
anyone remember the 4AD/Earache thread? Was there any substance at all to those
rumours about a project? Or was it just a cruel joke?

If you're serious, I'm sorry, but you've been misled, probably deliberately.
But I think you're trolling, since I don't believe that single has the
4AD logo or label name on it anywhere.
Regardless, people will have fun with this one for a while, I think I'll
just sit back and watch.

Nope, it *IS* Tim Buckley. Tom Waits has been making cool music for ages.
I just bought this album an hour ago. Here's what the liner notes
say. "According to Robert Duffey, Tim's tour manager at the time that
'Martha' was recorded for Tim's album 'Sefronia': 'In about 1973, Tim and
Tom knew each other, and even played together on a record company softball
team. Tim heard 'Martha' on 'Closing Time' and wanted to record it
immediately. Tim talked about how visual Tom's songs were.'"

*excellent*.

Micah then wrote:

I, too, bought my copy of "Filagree & Shadow" at the Tower Records in New
Orleans in 1989 (bought it on vinyl at Underground Sounds in N.O. two years
earlier).
I know nobody gives a rip about this, I just felt compelled to respond. I
live in Birmingham (which really isn't that close to N.O.).
So those of you who tuned in won't be put off, a question...
Are Kristin Hersh/Throwing Muses now officially on RYKO in the U.S.? Have
they left Sire? I finally got the "Holy Single". Brilliant!! The version of
Big Star's "Jesus Christ" is a bit over the top, but Big Star's version is as
well, so...
At any rate, it had a "TM-Throwing Music" logo on the disc along with the
Ryko logo. Sleeves are kinda weird... It almost looks like it could be a
bootleg of a 4AD release (V.O. and Dave Narcizo were among a few credited
with the design).
THANKS,

Factory apparently went down because Cath Carroll's album cost too much,
according to some people...

There's a further complication in that there are two versions of "Sahara
Blue". It initially contained vocal work by David Sylvian, but he decided at
some point that he wasn't happy with his contribution and so his parts were
taken off later versions and replaced with someone else's (can't remember
who - possibly Siouxsie?). The first version is now only available in
Australia, I believe.

I haven't been able to verify this or not, but I could swear it's Liz singing
background vocals for Liquorice on their 7" release, the last b-side song
"Squawk of the Town"...maybe it's an 'altered' sample or something... but I
could swear it's her. Can anybody else confirm this?
