Mind you, I'm in a really foul mood right now, but
for god's sake! How many more times is Ivo going to shoot
himself in the foot! Sure they couldn't hold a candle
to the Ian version, but they still were a good listen.
Who's next? Dead Can Dance? Why don't they sever all ties
to their past so they can go full force into boring adult
contemporary, spurgazing* bullshit! 4AD is becoming less

     no, the track by Being is not N.Halstead.  (If that's what you were

N.Halstead is under the psuedonym Zurich and also includes Tony F. Wilson.

Just posted off presents to my brothers, in time for them to arrive
somewhere in February, so it must be Christmas.  I have three spare
copies of this compilation (just a reminder - there's nothing on it
that isn't now available on official 4AD releases), which I'm willing
to part with for $50 each, or a straight swap for the limited edition
"This Rimy River".  Or, if you think that's a bit of a rip-off, send me
an E-mail with the subject "FTWW", and I'll randomly select two from
exotic locations (i.e. not the UK, its antipodean cousins or the USA,
places where FTWW isn't likely to have appeared as an import) and one
from the rest of the world.  I may even post them to you some time
before Easter.  Offer closes on the 15th of January.

Belly's "King" was one of the Observer's top six albums of the year (the
Observer is a left-of-centre Sunday newspaper, which has been going for
about 200 years).

And finally, Saint Etienne.  A certain list scapegoat, internationally
wanted war criminal and the man personally responsible for the
continued non-appearance of the My Bloody Valentine album (you know who
you are) was asking about the remix CD - here's what's on it:

Like a Motorway - Chemical Brothers (from the CD single, they were
  calling themselves the Dust Brothers back then as a "tribute" to the
  US mixers of that name - a bit like a UK nouveau punk band calling
  themselves Green Day and expecting no-one to mind)
Join Our Club - Billy Nasty (from the CD single)
Pale Movie - Secret Knowledge (ditto)
Speedwell - Dean Thatcher (this one *isn't* from the CD single, there
  are various mixes listed on the web pages at
    http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~baileya/Saint-Etienne/
  it's not much good, anyway)
Only Love Can Break Your Heart - Andrew Weatherall (somebody claimed
  this was not the "mix of two halves", but it sounds identical to the
  one on my CD single)
Who Do You Think You Are - Aphex Twin ("indie bands are shit")
Avenue - Gordon King (the "Variety Club" mix, I think, I prefer Rudi
  Tambala's myself)
Hug My Soul - Sure Is Pure
Like a Motorway - David Holmes

Sugar Plant     Hiding Place  (Pop narcotic,95)

Very simple slow guitar/bass only arrangements will immedeately appeal to
Galaxie 500 etc fans. Chinatsu Shoyama self-harmonizes in a bit husky manner
(hey, I am envy: almost no accent!) on the backdrop of slow-burn guitar solos of
Shinichi Ogawa. Did I say slow? Uhm, Japan's not that exotic as it may seem...

Mo Boma   Jijimuge  (Extreme/distr. by cargo, 92)

Fans of ebow unite! A poor guy (Carsten Tiedemann) sweats over the strings,
while infinite guitar has been already invented. Will I also sound like Michael
Brook when I try this gadget? Anyway, very smooth, textured album of
instrumental music, graced by ethnic percussion patterns (merit of Jamshied
Sharifi). Immedeately brings to mind "Cobalt Blue". Very professional.

Looks like Bedazzled keeps churnin'em out. One of the realiable providers of
things ethereal these days. Does ethereal mean fem. voc. anyway? The thing about
bedazzled is that i always know I won't be disappointed, at least. Above the
average quality with occasional gems (Strange Boutique, Siddal for me). Keep it
going, Steve!

Mistle Thrush   Silt

With this one, the dirty word "commercial success" has a good chance to
materialize. Brighton, Mass. five-some has a knack of creating SONGS with enough
variety and professionalism,that brings to mind the first Cranberries
mega-seller. Valerie Forgione is in lucky possession of a deep and versatile
voice, that promises to keep the things together starting with a dreamy opener
"freshwater". "Flowereyed" proves my Cranberries comparison. The only thing that
annoys me a little is this pseudo-Irish whiny thing she does at the ends of the
lines. Well, who knows, maybe,she's indeed Irish, but the point is that it is on
the verge of turning a homage into copying. this is my only complain. delicate
percussion, strummy/effected guitars attenuate great and many melodic songs. The
latter sadly lacks from some of the too reverb-indulgent efforts in the genre.
 I'd put this one up with Elysium's "Glisten", good stuff.

An April March  Instruments of Lust and Fury (ep)

Right from the first track you get to learn that these Canadians have studied
their Cocteaux albums pretty well. Chriss Perry and Danella Hocevar stomp on
"Guthrie" pedal (and,boy,they do it quite well), while Michael Klug emilates the
drum machine. The singing here is more or less earthy,though. Not exceptional,
but quite pleasant. Six songs long, this EP is exactly the right length,so you
don't have to reach out to put anything else for a change. You got it: pleasant
atmosphere, but fading into a blur. around 6 on a scale of 10

Hey,everybody.
Got some stuff from Darkwave to feed a little goth inside..

Raison d'etre     prospectus I (Cold meat industry,93)
Shinjuku Thief    The Witch Hammer (Relic/Dorobo, 93)

These two come together stylistically. Spooky stuff. Both projects may be old
news for somebody, but are nontheless relatively obscure,yet noteworthy. Music
for kinda omnious arcane rituals. Never leaves the slow pace, interlacing the
oh-so-gloomy drones'n'moans a-la Lycia/Thanatos with more interesting powerful
orchestrated pieces in the vien of In the Nursery's "Duality" album. What is
enjoyable (what a freak i must be to really enjoy this kind of thing!)here, is
good taste enough to keep things dramatic without turning them into a joke
(can't keep from laughing, listening to Lycia's "day in the stark corner", the
thing really cheers me up). Enough variety (with the absence of clear vocals
being a good point, IMHO) to make a rather lengthy technical review as well.
all in all, recommended for a change, especially "Prospectus", which may end up
being the only "gothic industrial" album you'll wish to keep.

...and even wolves hid their teeth  (Cold Meat Industry sampler
     comp./darkwave,95)

Being quite intrigued by the obscure label and continuing a quest for a
parallel-universe Love (hm, :) Spirals Downwards, I took an opportunity to check
out this $12 sampler. Features tracks from previously released material (Raison
d'etre,Ildfrost,Morthound,Memorandum etc) and some new acts (Con Sono, Ordo
equilibrio etc) to keep us interested. Well, it fails to do so..  The only
accessible tracks are by seemingly reliable Les Raisones and Ildfrost (nice
simple flute line). The rest is pathetic spookiness, which will appeal only to
the hardcore fans of this kind of thing. Most of the compositions patiently
observe sort of neutered Thanatos agonising from asphyxia (sp?) while
convulsively holding the "Gloomy gothic drone" key. A downer. The quest
continues.

Aurora   The land of harm and appletrees  (Talitha/Cleopatra,93)

Heavenly voicish (TM) offshoot of a relatively popular German goth dance act
Project pitchfork. Readily reminds of Sleeping Dogs Wake and Chandeen, lacking
the spark of the latter. Rather nice, but sort of marginal. The voice
(P.Nigiani) stands up to HV standards,but lacks a bit in versatility

Actually, DCD could be easily considered "adult contemporary" as could Heidi
Berry as was TMC (this based on the number of times each has been profiled on
very adult-oriented radio shows like ECHOES on the very adult-oriented
National Public Radio!).

Also, I really don't know why it comes as such a surprise to everyone that
Ivo signed Tarnation. This is a guy that's covered Emmylou Harris and Spirit.

Ivo has always said that the music on 4AD would always be a reflection of his
taste. Tastes do change.

I'd have to say that the things I've enjoyed the most from 4AD over the
years, have been the things that I've least expected to like. Things that are
more challenging. Things that broaden scope. Things that have prevented 4AD
from being a one-trick pony like C'est la Mort, Projekt and, yes, even
Factory (sacrilege!!!)

I hate Scheer just as much as the next guy, and I am not telling anyone what
to like by any means, but you shouldn't jump to hate music that you probably
wouldn't have listened to otherwise. This only shortchanges yourself. Music
that you may find initially disgusting, just may grow to be your favorite.

Also, this Pale Saint's thing is but a rumour, so before everyone goes on a
endless 4AD-bashing jag again, remember, bands can grow to suck. Should Ivo
have kept Xymox on (this is meant to be rhetorical)?

        I've listened to them both (Twinlights and Rikean Heart - I

first ep that they released is a very calm and very nothing piano.
I do like the piano; I play it myself, but it was just sooooooo
boring!  I was expecting the strummy dreamy guitar that is signature
of CT but it wasn't there.  The second ep is more ambient and sort
of dancy; but still not what you expect from them.  I guess they are
trying to evolve and try new things, so I shouldn't be down on them
for that.  But to put it another way - I have all of their other
albums plus 12" and I did not by these two ep's.

On the bright side - they are expected to release two more ep's
after the new year.  maybe they can redeem themselves.

They're called "Twinlights" and "Otherness".They're very different,
and opinions vary enormously.

"Twinlights" is an acoustic affair with very few vocal overdubs. If
you're into lushness of production, or dancy beats, it isn't at all
for you. Many longtime CT fans have underwhelmed by it. But I loved
the intimacy, and would highly recommend it. It includes three new
tracks and a new version of "Pink Orange Red".

"Otherness" is a collection of remixes by Mark Clifford of Seefeel:
two new songs and "Cherry Coloured Funk" and "Feet-like Fins". Liz's
voice is more or less MIA (except for "Violaine"): since it's been the
focus of my adoration of the group (and one of the reasons I loved
didn't find the EP very appealing as a whole, though it has grown on
me. But if you're into ambient, and especially if you're into Mark
Clifford of course, it's for you.

IMHO, one should buy everything the CT release.

But fortunately you're not on the wrong side of the transatlantic link. All the
local bandwidth possible can't fix the rather pitiful connection that UK

if there's anyone who's still looking for this, i think i've seen about 20
copies in best buys across the state, so if yr really dying for a copy, let
me know and i'll pick it up (they're about $12, i think).  why does everyone
act as if this is so rare?  "limited to 10,000" doesn't seem all that
limited to me. . .of course ftww was given away free, and people are asking
for all sorts of money for that. . .go figure.

Did he scratch it, or is there something painful associated with this album

Actually, that kind of guitar is more common than you'd think. Brad Laner
has one - you just plug it in and off it goes. They're very cheap too. I bet
you think schizophrenia means having a split personality, don't you?

Then become an Eno-type producer/solo artist!

Yes, lushmuse was. $20-25 is way too much to pay for that EP, though (unless
it's extremely rare). $10-15 is more like it.

hi everyone,

i'm a newbie with a couple of questions...

1. can you post messages with sound attachments to the list?
2. which type of sound file (AU, wav, etc) would be most prefered by the
listers?

i think that the list is great and informative, except for all the flaming
and argueing(sp?).  each persons opinion is just an opinion(right or wrong)
don't take it so personally.
