Oh Yay Oh Yay
Finally a 4AD band comes within my reach. Yes, the Amps will be playing on the
Gold Coast while I'm in Brisbane. But there's more. That's right, not only do
I have to pay for the Amps, my purchase will also go towards performances by the
Beastie Boys, Pavement and Beck. Sigh, is it worth it?

Tangerine Dream, that is. Perhaps everyone knew this, but I only found
out a week ago when I saw it in a record store. There was, I believe,
some discussion of this on both the lists I've sent this message to. Does
anyone know what held it up for so long?
The artwork has been altered from the cassette release, probably for the
better. Devil picture on the front which is kind of lame, but there's a
nice conceptual painting of Mia Sara's character on the back. The order
of the songs is unchanged. Brian Ferry's song is an enduring cool song
even though it is eighties power rokk, and the track featuring Jon
Anderson isn't nearly as corny as it could have been. (In fact I don't
think it's corny at all.)
Anyway, I know there are a number of fans around so I thought I'd mention
it just in case. For the uninitiated, Legend is the only great fantasy
movie of the 1980s and is Ridley Scott's best film. It came out in 1986
and was a tragic flop. (Even I didn't go to see it.) The score is easily
Tangerine Dream's best work and towers over all their other soundtracks
save parts of Shy People and Three O'Clock High (a bad movie and a great
movie). Tho I admit I haven't seen Wavelength or Firestarter.
While we're on the topic of schlocky new age music, someone once defended
Vangelis as occasionally brilliant, citing a specific album of his: "as
good as 76 14". Does anyone remember writing/reading this? I'd be
interested to hear whatever it is, since I've grown to intensely revere
the aforementions Global Communication record, but based on what I've
heard from him (Opera Sauvage and various soundtrack pieces) I'm sure as
hell not going to blindbuy any of his stuff soon. Help?
thanks

I suppose that seeing as there are so many designers on the list (re. posts
a few months ago), for once, we strange people with our superior Macs may
not be in the minority. Also another reason why there may be more Macs than
the average here, is that indie/alternative listeners are usually people
who like to make up their own minds and not be mindless lemmings who follow
the crowd and go out and buy crap (be it records or computers).

Seriously though, I do agree with Andrew's comment about files being huge -
it *would* be better to e-mail them privately. Nice idea swapping sound

hello fellow BC listoids! i've got 2 bits of new info for you all:
1) i am currently listening to the new single "rumor." i was wondering if
anyone else has been lucky enough to hear it? i got it off atlantic's "1st
quarter sampler." it is a great song (i think) -- much more of a funky
sound. it even has guitar in it. her voice is still as beautiful and
heavenly as usual. the only thing is that it does not sound very much like
the songs on their previous albums (especially not the first 2). however, it
still has a "belcantoish" sound to it.
i hope this is new news to everyone. i have been out of the loop for a few
weeks so i apologize if you already talked about it. i'm curious if anyone
else has heard the song.
2) Atlantic has put out a christman album, where BC does their rendition of
"agnus dei." has anyone heard? i think the compilation is called "winter
fire and snow - songs for the holoday season."
happy holidays and all that stuff........

nao already may have done detailed recommendation.
I'll add a few. You may have only a few days, so
my suggestion is restricted to Shinjuku & Shibuya area.
At Nishi-Shinjuku (north west of Shinjuku station)
1. Vinyl Japan 1,2&3 (tel 3365-0910 etc.)
Their branch in Japan. Used, Import and their label.
2. Rough Trade (tel 5330-3171)
Their branch in Japan. Import only. Their 7" collection
is worth to check.
3. Like a Edison (tel 3369-3119, fax 3366-7699)
Hardcore. Alternative. Domestic & Import. Used & New.
4. Los Apson (fax 3369-9619)
Though I don't know very well, postpunk-MLers (in Japan)
often visit this shop.
There are many shops around this area because of the presence
of the most famous live house "Loft" is there. Some small shops
in office buildings have unique characters and specialized tastes.
At Higashi-Shinjuku (east of Shinjuku station)
1. Disk Union
All genre. New & Used. Whenever I go to Tokyo I check there
for the price are unexpensive. (Most unexpensive in Tokyo I think)
A lot of findings in thier used cd & vinyl floor. (7F)
Shibuya
1. DMS
2. ZEST (fax 3770-5146)
Guitar Pop
FYI, if you'd like to call them from overseas, you must add (81-3)
to the tel & fax number. 81 is country code and 3 is city code.
BTW, there must be a person from Russia who were looking for
fax number & email address of record shops in Japan.
Are you still on this list ?

I've finally caved in and bought a CD player for my car, one of those
six-changers that fit in the trunk. No one has posed this question recently,
so does anyone have their suggestions for the best 6 cd's to drive by? (Road
trip or city driving). Now personally, I think driving music is almost in its
own "category" in a way; there's some music that just deserves to be listened
to with the window's down, the sunroof open, and the volume up (please, no rap
suggestions - nothing against it, just not my cup of tea) and ideally no
traffic to get in the way either.

It's not 4AD, but one of my favorites to hear while driving is the album
"T.V. Sky" by THE YOUNG GODS. The whole album is great, but for driving
especially the song "Gasoline Man" which of course is about driving (in one
way)...

Just to defend Windows users: I don't computers for political reasons
and I don't have an unlimited budget. I buy the best machine I can
afford. Because of Apple's stupidity in the past in not licensing
clones, this meant a Windows machine. And with Win95 they've more or
less (ok, maybe less) caught up with Mac anyway.
Also, I agree: I'd be interested in hearing about sound files people
have, but sending them over the list would be a mistake. They'd be so
huge they would probably get us kicked off the listserv.

Somehow my McCarthy review got run through my Burroughs' cut-up
program. Here's the readable version:
McCarthy- _Banking, violence and the inner life today_ [Midnight]
Tim Gane's pre-Stereolab incarnation. This album pretty much
features all the members of the 'lab, except in slightly different
positions (Laetitia only sings back up on two or three tracks).
McCarthy is also much more clearly political in its lyrics (I wonder
whether they meant Eugene or Joseph?) Titles include: "the well-fed
point of view", "use a bank i'd rather die", "the drinking song of
the merchant bankers" and they are all translated into three european
languages for your edification. Anyway, a pleasant enough album
with upbeat melodies and some catchy lyrics though not as experimental
or as synth-driven as the 'lab. For some reason it reminds me of
a political version of the inestimable (and criminally overlooked)
CuD.
Yes, I know your life wouldn't have be complete without this...

Totally agree about the Young Gods, here are a few more suggestions:
Goo Goo Dolls - Superstar Carwash
Buffalo Tom - Let Me Come Over
JAMC - Automatic
Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing
Nitzer Ebb - Showtime
...And there's just something about listening to CT "Pink Orange Red" while
driving around on a lazy autumn afternoon.

my list is more of artists than specific cd's although there are a couple
specifics close to my driving heart:
during the day or driving at high speeds:
sonic youth
just about any breakbeat or jungle
carl cox FACT 2xcd set (hard trance)
early ride
late beatles
chemical brothers - the new one
slowdive - souvlaki
at night or on thinking drives:
bowery electric
slowdive - blue day ep
scorn ellipsis remixes
aphex twin - sawii (the engine contributes to the music)
cure - carnage visors
unfortunately, i only have a tape player in my car, so listening to
something while driving requires the prethought of having to tape it first.
anyone want to buy me 300 xlii-90's so i can give a more comprehensive
summary? ;)

I wouldn't be that harsh, but there is one that is abundantly clear from
their recordings: Scott absolutely cannot sing! He's got one of those
forever wavering, on-the-verge-of-breaking voices like the kid who's always
working the minimum-wage jobs on The Simpsons ("Here's your moist towelette,

Since, I've probably earned a bad reputation for posting non-relevant
arguments too frequently, I'm not going to say much about this. Just that
DOS 7 & Windows 4.x are not even close to the Mac, even if they are
marketed under the name Win'95. If you would like to argue with me about
this privately, please don't. Just check out Apple's Web site, there's
nothing that I could say that's not said there already and probably better.
