compilation on Planet Dog. Heck, I don't know what to call this kind of
music anymore. "Ambient" probably, except it's not, and it's even less
ambient than many non-ambient "ambient" collections. "Trance?" All I know
but solid, and with lots of great ethno sounds like tablas, didgeridoo
and sitar, not to mention some monster dub. The Astralasia track alone is
worth the price, with a neato guitar that sounds like some Indian
instrument soloing all through it. And it's excellent music to play with
little babies by. Two little drooly thumbs up from the Jedlet.

There are two copies of Lilliput at Amoeba Records here in Berkeley,

...and by the way, when buying your next Lilliput - ask to see if it comes
with the t-shirt like mine did. If I'm not mistaken it adds quite a bit more
value to it. With t-shirt it should go for about $250-$300.

About the Enya records...
I would rate the records like this:
The Celts - 32 (The Celts, I Want Tomorrow, Boadicea)
Watermark - 20 (Cursum Perficio, Eicile)
Shepherd Moons - 24 (Carabian Blue, Ebud=E6, *Book of Days*)
The Memory of Trees - 10 (On My Way Home)
This is after going through all records, and giving points to melodies.
the melodies in paranteses are ones that I particularly like.
The *power* is gone in 'Memory of Trees'. Where are the breathtaking
percussion, the diversity in instruments, the spectacular 'solo' parts.
'trees' is basically an 'empty' record. There is not much there.

What about 'Ebud=E6' and 'Book of Days' on Shepherd. Even if all the rest o=

the record was hopeless those two would make it a good record. They are
not just fantastic. They are religious experiences. And as it is, the rest
of the record isn't hopeless, there's more good stuff there.=20

I think 'Twist of Shadows' is the best Xymox album I've got. The 3-4 last
tunes really lift it up. But I've only got that one, 'Phoenix' and the one
which first tune is 'A Day'. Is that one called just 'Xymox'..? Vision
Thing is not very good, true.=20
> The title track and "Pax Deorum" are both very pretty songs, but even
> here the style seems to have cheapened somewhat
This is exactly what I thought after hearing the record, "her style has
cheapened". For some strange reason Eithne has decided in playing all
instruments on 'trees' herself and so the depressing and boring lack of
diversity. What happened. Did she get avaricious after earning heaps of
money on her previous records or what...=20

My feeling is that the album ends *to soon*. After I start it I simply

I know that Arcana (if they had any) charges $175 currently (last month)
for a Lilliput. Mine was brand new, but like Blue said, it did not include
the T-shirt.
I feel for your loss. I too live in N. California (Redding) and we had 85

I would give Arcana a call. They might be sumpathetic to your situation.

Some people (whom I won't name to avoid starting a new thread of fire) have
been slagging Vision Thing recently. I'm assuming this is the awesome
record released by the Sisters of Mercy (i.e. Andrew Eldritch) in 1990. (I
don't know of another album by this title.)
This was one of my favorites that year. Start to finish, Vision Thing not
only ROCKS (to use a silly cliche) but its got those great literate lyrics
that are delivered flawlessly by Mr. Eldritch. The lyrical imagery moves
another step away from the superstition and witchcraft of First and Last
and Always and further into the apocalypse now mode that was begun on
Floodland.
We're not singing about tarot cards, possession, or angels. Now we've got
corrupt parliaments, El Dorados, drag strips, napalm...hell, we've even got
Pee Wee Herman reading the evening news. This isn't 19th century england,
this is 20th century [insert your choice of a large American city
here].(This transition from the antiquated to the modern came full circle
on the Under the Gun single and frankly I can't wait to see what Andrew
does next.)
On a side note:
Did anyone else happen to catch the interview between Lewis Largent, the
former 120minutes host, and Andrew around the time of the Vision Thing
tour? Mr. Eldritch's obvious loathing of Lewis was superb. =^}
Musically, Vision Thing is it's own kind of heavy metal meets punk with
some of the early Sister's "gothic" flavor left intact. Defintely worth a
second listen if it didn't catch you the first time around.
Sisters is from? Someone taped it for me years ago and I would love to
track down and original copy. Thanks.

I truly feel your sorrow. I've been looking for (reasonably priced)
Liliput for over a year and, yes, I was the one who bought the Liliput
from Southland CD about a month ago before it hit the ad. They also had
a 13 Year ITch for $75 which I also claimed. ANyways, if you're looking
to replace your Liliput, Southland CD is the cheapest place I've seen.
If cost-is-no-object than try calling Empire Mail Order in New York at
317-925-4742 email:[email protected] ALso try Amoeba Music in
Berkeley(check Goldmine for phone #), but both stores charge a hefty
premium.

all this talk about web design and the 4ad list, i thought i'd mention
my belly pages. ive just given them a complete facelift, and id like to
think i've achieved that balance of something that is both pleasing to look
at, easy to interface, and informative. and to answer a previous comment,
netscape v2.0 BETA 3 loads background images like any other image, so you
don't have to wait for it to be loaded before you see anything else, quite nice.
let's not fight anymore, instead let's all bask in my design efforts!

Is it just me or does "1979" sound a bit like Billy Corrgan has been listening
to Swallow's Blow and Blowback. I think Mellon Collie is very good and
there is quite a bit of variety there. I think that anytime Alan Moulder is
involved the result is quite good. Any comments on this song though and
its Swallow sound? Could this just be because of Moulder I wonder?

I wrote this in early September, but I forgot to post it. I'm sure
you'll all be *so* pleased that I finally remembered to post it... :-)
------------
So when I got back last week, there was a nice, thick package full of
cds from 4AD. For meee! I'm now officially music industry scum, I
guess. And I'll have to do some work on eyesore now.
Since I have this stack of new music, I guess I should write some
reviews. Why not.
Kendra Smith - Five Ways of Disappearing
After hearing about her "performance" at the AVAM do I was ready to
enjoy this album. "Surely," I thought to myself, "she can't be *that*
bad. I'm sure they just misunderstood her genious. Or something."
This album is bad beyond belief. No - that's not accurate. It's
ordinary beyond belief. It's dull. It's boring. It's tuneless. It's
(dare I say it) *adult*. Yecchh!
It starts off with this song called "Eurelia" which sounds like Smith
was thinking "how about if I take that drony sound Joy Division used
in their least perky moments and added a five hour wank-fest guitar
solo at the end? Yes! What genious!" In fact, I find it hard to get
past that song at all. The rest of the album is quite inoffensive in
its total blandness, but... that song really sets the mood. There's
not a single choon on the entire album. There's nothing interesting
anywhere at all. It's... it's... Words fail me. This is the worst
album I have. This is the worst thing 4AD have ever released. There
are no redeeming qualities.
Liquorice - Listening Cap
This, on the other hand, is pure bliss. It's so *cute*. There's these
neat little pop tunes, a good singer, goofy lyrics, kinda straight
productions, but the Defever hand has touched it all... Some of the
songs are acoustic and simple, and some are with full band, and they
are all delightful. On a scale of one to ten - at least!
One thing, though - while I was listening to this the first time, I
was so totally reminded of other music that I love. I was unable to
put my finger on what they sounded like, but each song was totally
"wow! this song sounds just like... uhm... like..." I never could put
my finger on it, so it might just be that I liked it so much that it
went straight to my innermost being and muddled my brain by making
these strange connections...
Anyways. Should I run out and buy all Simple Machines/Tsunami/
Hated/Ida albums right away, then? What should I buy first?
Lisa Gerrard - The Mirror Pool
I can see why everybody is so down on this album. It does seem a bit
new agey, but it seems good enough to me. It doesn't set the world on
fire, but I like it just the same. I guess I had expected more - if
this was from a new, unknown artist, I'm sure I would have been bowled
over.
Red House Painters - Ocean Beach
Still sounds very nice. "Drop" is divine.
Belly - King
This is the first time I've seen the regular packaging, which, as is
usual with v23, looks better than the limited edition. (The book-thing
was fun, though.) This day-glo dice motif is very well done.
Belly - Seal my Fate (live) and see-through 7''.
It's, like, four live tracks from March. Nice mix.
And that's it for freebies. Promo copies even.
I also bought 4 new cds, and I might as well mention them as well.
"Maxinquaye" by Tricky - the new Bjork. No, really. He does them
strange instrumentations, has them strange (but good) lyrics, has an
"interesting" singer, and writes them odd tunes. And it's all rather
good. Some of the songs are a bit meandering, though. But the ones
that work do really work. "Overcome", "Black Steel" and the other
one... Nice stuff. "Ellipsis" by Scorn, which is the drummer out of
Napalm Death. So this is ambient techno, of course. This is the first
Scorn I've heard, and I bought it since Coil and Meat Beat Manifesto
did some remixes (this is a remix album). It's a quite good, dark,
sometimes ambient, sometimes rhythmic, quite dark, diet
pseudo-industrial, did I mention dark? album. "7=49" by the Moon Seven
Times. I had really expected something more, like, gurly-wurly, but
these people have the audacity to *rock*. Like, with drums and
electric guitars and everything. And quite good it is as well. "The
Ugly One With The Jewels" by Laurie Anderson is a live recording of a
reading from her book "Stories from the Nerve Bible". I saw here live
this June, and I was totally mesmerised. She did mainly material from
"Bright Red" (which is a fab album). Anyways. This one is good as
well.
So. There you have it. No new music for three months, and then a whole
load of good stuff. I'm in heaven.

You can still order it via 4AD Mail Order. I don't have the address
with me, however. I have also seen it in a few shops here in Boston,
so I'm sure it's available in other major cities as well.

>>Is it just me or does "1979" sound a bit like Billy Corrgan has been listening

You're not joking! My roommate LOVES that song ("1979"), and when I
heard it the first time, the first thing out of my mouth was, "This
sounds a LOT like a Swallow song." I think the one it's most like
is "Sugar Your Mind". The drums are almost exactly alike. Funny....

But wasn't it in the original text you quoted? Unless it's a variant of
"dissent", it's the author's fault.
>longing to listen to "treasure" because it is so darn wintery.
I always thought that "Victorialand" was THE wintery Cocteaux album. Does
anyone else have stuff that they consider "winter music"? I find Pygmalion
very wintery.

No one has ever *really* received anything from the 4AD retail offices in
London. There have been (234 at last count) people from this list who have
placed orders since 4AD put out the first catalog (and subsequent updates) in
1994. Of those 234, I believe 230 are still waiting in hope. The 4 people
that did receive their merchandise, had to physically go over to the offices
and threaten the 4AD staff with inhumane treatment if they did not receive
their goods immediately.*
You have been jipped unfortunately, *but* you are not alone. In fact there
are several support groups throughout the world that share the same
frustration that you have conveyed here. I only know of one in this country,
and here's the pertinent info (assuming you are interested):

sorry to use list for personnel chit chat but technology failed me once
again...
Well i crashed another harddrive kids. Seems TCPIP ain't the friend of
every binary processor. So that makes three 540 dying in the last
month.
the upshot is that there was somebody on this list who had a friend
named Joe who moved to Minneapolis. Joe called me at work and I lost
his number. I don't want him to think i'm a rude native minnesotan, a
lot of them are. So please let him know i screwed up and still want to
get together.
Because I'm at the Cybercafe using their computer, please have him call
me at work again. He should have the number as he already called once.

sorry if this has been mentioned before, but supposedly
Lush will be on the Wire tribute album "Whore"
I emailed to ask the label which song they covered
(and which song MBV is doing), thinking it might just be
"outdoor miner" again, but they said they were "unable
to divulge" that information. However, the blurb for the
tribute says that the tracks by the 21 bands on the album
were recorded specifically for it, so perhaps Lush is doing
a different song.

come on, peeps, lighten up, smoke a cig, smoke a joint, shoot up or
whatever you may do to relax and get back to the music. if you don't like
einexile's postings, email jens for 'how to construct a killfile.' e
probably contributes the most to this list, although i have no idea where
he gets enough disposable income to do so so often. from now on, put 'i am
flaming e' in the subject header so i can delete your post without mercy.
go buy mojave 3, put it on repeat, and make it rain.
.j.
where is k-j?

So how do we buy it? Who is HMV records?

This isn't this-listy, but I need the help.
...one man's search for Liliput reminds me of my own efforts to locate
Public Image Limited's limited edition CD of their first release
called 'Metal Blade'( VIRGIN MTLBL-LTMCD01). It is a CD-sized tin
with a stamped PIL-logo cover. At this point I'd settle for a dinged
up used copy.
Please email if anyone knows where I might buy one of these.
I apologize in advance to anyone who feels this is inappropriate.
Thanks!

With regards to This Ascension's track, e says:
>buy some effects and plug your fucking keyboard into them!!
I've let Tim and Matt in on your technical production advice since you know
what's up; plugging effects into the fucking keyboard. How much do you
charge?
And for Lovesliescrushing:
>As a rule, my guitar
>has come up with more interesting music on its own while I left the room,
Really? Your guitar just up and plays on its own? You should probably
have that checked out...schizophrenia run in your family?
>and this is not a joke.
Hmmm, wonder why they're signed and you're not if this is indeed not a joke.
Regarding Balderas & Osbourne:
>orgy of keyboard presets, an arrangement that offers nothing new
Well actually it's samples and samplers, not synth presets.

I do happen to work at PIAS Benelux, 4AD's distributor for the Netherlands.
BAD 6001 CD is a regular release,
BAD D 6001 CD is a limited edition release,
LUSH 5 CD is a promo-release.
Cheerio,
