Yes, the release was last week. Ian was in Paris this past weekend doing
magazine interviews with regards to this CD.

According to the folks involved, the pressing of the CD is limited to 800
copies.
>Maybe it's possible to take it trough _Time Stereo_ for less bucks.
>(this is a french released but the tape came from Time Stereo).
Time Stereo is working with Perdition Plastics in Chi-town to release the CD
stateside. Exact same content as ESP Continent, most likely with different
song titles, very likely a different package, and a different name.

I think enough is enough. I cannot understand why 4AD would do such a
thing? They are getting their money back, so why crap on Mark? I feel it
is time to boycott all 4ad (new) products. I know some of you feel like
RHP isn't worth it but what about other groups that may have to be under
the foot of IVO the Terrible. IVO if you are reading this...your taste for
music of recent, stinks.
I'm listening to Mojave 3 right now as I finally was able to buy it at a
domestic price. Good god, people...what was so incredible about this
album. It's a poor RHP, Mazzy Star and county music rip-off. I really
liked Slowdive's Soulvaki album...but this new effort on 4ad really falls
short from all the applause lauded on it.
If I was Mark, I figure out a way to sue the hell out of 4AD. Dear GOD i'm
fuming and foaming at the mouth. I think it's time to stop before I punch
a hole into my monitor.

To my understanding, "A Girl Like You" was recorded after the UK release of
Queer, and seeing that they wouldn't have another full-length releasefor
quite some time, TWP decided to release it as a CD single in the Uk along
with the full-length US release which didn't come for sometime...perhaps
months... after the UK release of Queer. As was "Angel" and "Sucker m.f.",
which is pretty kewl. (i.e. it ROX!)

Anyone out there seen Mr Black playing live at all recently. I keep
reading mixed reviews of the new recorded stuff, but I really want to
know what he sounds like live. I haven't seen him since the Pixies
last UK tour. Whatever your comments I have my ticket for the 31 jan
for Manchester.
Further to my note regarding the gig the local band Crushed were to
do last Friday just to report that it was a roaring success. PJ
Bells, now called Repblic[a] and with its door round the back, were
obviously impressed as Mr Bell asked them back after the sound check.
So anyone in the Manchester area is interested keep your eyes open as
they will be playing again with in a month or two at Republic[a] and
probably in March at the Roadhouse if Lobe get them a support or not.
And finally thanks to e for the birthday greetings - at least someone
out there cares!

Supposedly from the Steve Martin film "The Man With Two Brains". That's
the answer that came up when this was asked before, but I can't confirm
as I haven't seen the film.
I think I should add stuff about "Queer" to the FAQ. Thanks for the
summary!
"Sucker MF" is an excellent remix by the way, much harder than the
original, and worth hunting down for UK TWP fans. And speaking of
remixes, I haven't heard much mention of the "Time" EP, which contains
three techno remixes of "A Question Of Time", done by the band, that are
just fabulous. As a great in-joke the first one makes good use of the
clock chime from Pink Floyd's "Time" (from "Dark Side Of the Moon".)

I saw Frank last February at the Underground in Santa Barbara.
The playing is very energetic and the volume loud, much more so than on the
albums (the volume, that is). He has a kind of contempt for the audience
that you might notice. For instance, when he first took the stage at the
show I was at, he walked right up to the mic and started mumbling
nonsense, and everyone cheered as if he were really saying something.
Another funny thing is, the "encore" consisted of only one song (Hostess
With The Mostest), then he decided that was all he was going to do, and
stalked offstage, drawing vilification from the crowd. He puts on a good
show, though.

The movie is, of course, "The Man with Two Brains" (I

Huite,
Ik ben je adres kwijt dus doe ik het zo maar even. Ik heb een vraag over een
Wim Mertens promo CD, en aangezien hij op Crepuscule zit en jullie dat label
ook distribueren in Nederland, kun je me misschien verder helpen (of mooier
nog eraan helpen). Ik heb Joelle Dagry van Crepuscule in Brussel gebeld,
maar die bleek niets van deze promo te weten. Misschien is het meer een PIAS
promotie 'device' en niet zozeer een Crepuscule CD.
Het gaat om een promo CD voor 'Gave van Niets', de 10-CD set die november
vorig jaar is gereleased. Nu heb ik deze info alleen van via via maar er
schijnt een promo CD the zijn (TWI 1003P ??) met daarop excerpts van die 10
CD's. Ik neem aan dat hij is gemaakt omdat het een beetje kostbaar wordt om
10 CDsets naar recensenten ed. te zenden. Ik weet niet, ik gok maar.
In ieder geval: weet jij iets van deze CD? En, als jullie er nog 1 hebben
rondzwerven, zou ik daar dan voor in aanmerking kunnen komen? Eventuele
kosten vergoed ik, dat spreekt van zelf.
Bij voorbaat dank voor je hulp.

hello,
i've been desperately looking for a cd by harmony rockets. for those that did
not know and may be interested, harmony rockets and mercury rev are the same
band. they released their only disc a few months ago, and for some reason it
has already been deleted. can anyone help me find two copies of this disc?
i'll send cash or trade. one thing that may be of interest to cranes fans is a
promotional only, limited to 2000 copies cd single for 'tomorrow's tears'.
i had never seen this before, but a guy at their label, bmg, sent it to me a
few months back. he said it was fairly rare. i can't remember the b-sides,
but there are three of them and an interview. i'm happy to part with it for a

A few months back I recall mention of the Lilys' essential album "In The

web page and their December 16th update claims they have it back in
stock. You can reach them at:
or
for the update itself. The description reads:
Lilys In The Presence Of Nothing PS, US Beautiful release from 1992
back in stock. MBV fans who haven't heard this one should check it out.
Slumberland-20 CD 14.25
Buy buy buy! A shoegazer classic, much in the MBV vein but with its own
distinct sound.

I saw this disc used once in Dallas, and the b-sides are the same as those on
the Dedicated version of the EP: "Casa Blanca", "Sixth of May" (same as on
_Wings_of_Joy_), and "Dreamless". "Casa Blanca" is a great song, one of my
favorites by them. "Dreamless" is one of their more atonal pieces, but still
pretty good.

See the System 7 biography.
In US, their first album was listed as 777 by 777, and their second
album (released UK only) was 777 by System 7. Steve Hillage had planned
for the US release of this to be System 7 by 777, but no distributor
snagged it. Their 5th album to be released in the UK only in march is
to be entitled "The power of 7". Everything by them, with the exception
of their first album, is excellent Goa-esque trance, which makes the
name swicharoos only more annoying.

I was very dissapointed to hear Rick's news reagrding 4AD bashing Mark and
the group. But, I remain faithful that they'll get their due-SOON! Ivo will
be kicking himself to nowhere, FAST. It's also funny that Rick should bring
this up as I got a reply from Island Records today regarding my question as
to whether or not they'd be signing RHP. His response was, "Wish we had."
So, as someone here suggested, RHP will eventually be signed (on their own
terms). After hearing many of the new tunes, I, for one, cannot wait.

Okay. So living up to my completist ideology, I need to get Mouth by Mouth
on cd so I can get the extra song on it (currently I only have it on lp).
Does anyone know if the US Warner version has that track (I believe it's
"The Last Waltz") or if it's only on the UK 4AD version?
Thankya much,
Jake

Definitly not, as I've seen the CD released here in Paris. Not the same
name (ESP-xxxx???), with I think a french small label adress, along with a
_Time
Stereo_ mention in the booklet.
I will send the name of the label as soon as possible... don't know if this
CD has been released in US, but at least Time Stereo should have an idea!

Well, the bright side is that RCA isn't the only label to have offered a
contract to RHP. So if they want to back out because of 4AD's crap, fuck
'em; it's their loss. I just hope Mark doesn't do something drastic, like
stop recording music because people are treating him like shit.

I have to echo someone else's remarks
about the absurdity of starting a Slowdive list.
Granted, I love their stuff too, but they
are on 4AD now...what's the list needed for
except to distribute the discography now
and then? Hurmmmm......unless you
could persuade the band to make it the
Offical Band Mailing list or something...
Otherwise I don't see much more utility in
having a separate list.

Umm... You are suggesting that a) we all take action based on a rumor? and
b) that all 400 or so of us boycotting 4AD or 4AD/Warner would accomplish
anything? *If* Ivo/4AD is that big of a jerk/meglomaniac, do you think
he'd really give a rat's ass about our opinion? Besides, if all the bands
you/we like are mistreated and leave 4AD, a boycott of new products is a
moot point.

I'll have to kindly disagree with you here, Derf. I (warning to some of you
out there, this personal pronoun indicates I'm about to state a personal
opinion) think that "ask me tomorrow" shares little with MS and RHP other
than it's sparse arrangement and melancholy tone (ok, maybe that's more than
a little). It actually sounds less "country" (in the traditional
sense) than I thought it would. To me, this sounds like Slowdive; which is
a good thing. Songs such as "sarah" remind me of Pygmallion. Sure, the
songs on "ask me tomorrow" follow more traditional song structure (less
linear than "Pygmallion") and there are less guitar effects and piano is
added, but this seems almost like a natural progression from Pygmallion.
Someone compared this album to Dagger from Souvlaki, and I don't think thats
to far off the mark. Of all the 4AD releases last year, I say this is
easily my fave, followed by Lisa Gerrard. I can't see being disappointed
in "ask me tomorrow" if you like Slowdive (IMHO,your mileage may vary).

Funny how no one ever bothers to consider this sort of thing anymore. You
are outraged at the murder of the Tutsis and then pray for the starving
Hutus. You silly, silly people.
The thing is, it's gotten around that Mark is kind of an asshole. No, I'm

Hmmm, really? Where? It's funny because I hear this from people and I
wonder if they're referring to 'Ocean Beach' where someone (here) thought
Mark was an asshole because before one of his songs, they thought
(incorrectly) that Mark said something to the effect of, "can you guys play
something that slightly resembles a tune?!" BUT, if you really knew which
voice was which, it's not Mark. He's the second voice that says, "Come on
guys. Let's go." Anyway, sometimes I wonder... Also, I think that Mark,
during concerts, tends to say things that don't come out right because he's
always SO nervous (although, you really wouldn't know it). I've chatted
with him a few times and he's been very gracious and goofy, IMHO.
No, he's not your typical rock dude but I have a lot of respect for someone
who believes in their music and had the guts enough to tell someone like
4AD where to go with *their* ideas. I don't know how many would have been
as strong.
But, then again, who am I but a devout fan...

Maybe RCA was interested in 4AD's reasons for dumping the band and 4AD
gave them an honest answer? Wow! It happens, though. Better yet, maybe
4AD have some respect and good feelings for their fellow record labels
and aren't above saving them from bad decisions. Since when are we all
dying to see our favorite bands sign to a big fat evil corporate record
label, anyway?

Doesn't that make RHP a Mazzy ripoff? I wonder why you like *any* of
these people if you can't detect the differences between easily enough to
appreciate all three (and detect the mountains of shit on either side of
Summer Dress).

I seriously doubt it. Maybe RCA should sign them and then sue the hell
out of you when the arrangement turns sour?

This comes as something less than a surprise.

Time Stereo is working with Perdition Plastics in Chi-town to release the CD
stateside. Exact same content as ESP Continent, most likely with different
song titles, very likely a different package, and a different name.

I think enough is enough. I cannot understand why 4AD would do such a

Supposedly from the Steve Martin film "The Man With Two Brains". That's
the answer that came up when this was asked before, but I can't confirm
as I haven't seen the film.
I think I should add stuff about "Queer" to the FAQ. Thanks for the
summary!
"Sucker MF" is an excellent remix by the way, much harder than the
original, and worth hunting down for UK TWP fans. And speaking of
remixes, I haven't heard much mention of the "Time" EP, which contains
three techno remixes of "A Question Of Time", done by the band, that are
just fabulous. As a great in-joke the first one makes good use of the
clock chime from Pink Floyd's "Time" (from "Dark Side Of the Moon".)

I saw Frank last February at the Underground in Santa Barbara.
The playing is very energetic and the volume loud, much more so than on the
albums (the volume, that is). He has a kind of contempt for the audience
that you might notice. For instance, when he first took the stage at the
show I was at, he walked right up to the mic and started mumbling
nonsense, and everyone cheered as if he were really saying something.
Another funny thing is, the "encore" consisted of only one song (Hostess
With The Mostest), then he decided that was all he was going to do, and
stalked offstage, drawing vilification from the crowd. He puts on a good
show, though.

The movie is, of course, "The Man with Two Brains" (I

it's luna with laetitia from stereolab. for those of you that have the ep

features two versions, the bonnie parker version and the clyde barrow
version. i prefer the former, though they're both good.

It's REALLY annoying. Eventually we will have a separate mailing list for
discussing every song by every band ever on 4AD. e will hang out on the
"Rutti" list, presumably. Look for me on the "My Love Paramour" and
"Sweetness And Light" lists. For the time being I will resist the
tendency and ignore the Slowdive list.
>The US release of the Mojave album came out today and I bought it.
Ha! Somebody from Warner Bros. e-mailed me out of the blue and offered to
send me a free promo copy, which should be arriving next week. I feel
like a net.bigwig or something. Does this mean I have to write a fawning
sycophantic review?
I still keep musing about Brant's dismissal of "Pygmalion", esp. since
I've been listening to "Avalyn" a lot (it's on a comp. tape I made in
1991 that I just dug up and stuck in my car stereo.) Frankly, to me
"Pygmalion" sounds a lot like "Avalyn" without so many pedals, which is
part of why I love it so. (Not that I minded the effects...)

The [distinctly nonthislisty] SF band Caroliner sort of do this, in that
they're always tweaking their name ... "Caroliner Rainbow", "Caroliner
Bites A Singing Pig", etc.

Yeah... I posted about it awhile back, and I would feel awfully
self-repetitive if I had to go through that whole spiel again; but I'll
say it's at least as good as _Eating The Sea_; a little more varied, more
guitar and other instruments in addition to the familiar swaths of lush
keyboards.

(all 400 of us want this on CD don't we?). Anyone know if there's a way
to pre-order them? I hate listening to tapes so i haven't ordered it but i

Exact! (I remember the name ESP-continent now!) I've seen it 3 days ago in
a shop in Paris. I think the release was last week.
expensive in France! 1$ < 5FF )
If there is really only 800 copies, maybe it will be difficult to find in US
I can take a few copie here for Ian/Warren addicts, but you will have to
e mail me privatlely.
Maybe it's possible to take it trough _Time Stereo_ for less bucks.
(this is a french released but the tape came from Time Stereo).

Hi all-
If anyone cares...
Actually, if you'd like more info on any release, feel free to e-mail me. I'm
more than eager to share some of these discoveries with those who'd
appreciate them. :)
and now . . .
Everything is in order, but I took the cheesy way out: Why compare apples n'
oranges? SHJ and Scott Walker are both #1's in my book. . . and this is just
about the only way to show that. Conspicuously missing: 7"s and vinyl. But
I'm a newcomer to that format, and I haven't even heard the stuff I DO have
on vinyl. Next year. . .Also missing:anything I haven't heard. Oh well.

Huite,
Ik ben je adres kwijt dus doe ik het zo maar even. Ik heb een vraag over een
Wim Mertens promo CD, en aangezien hij op Crepuscule zit en jullie dat label
ook distribueren in Nederland, kun je me misschien verder helpen (of mooier
nog eraan helpen). Ik heb Joelle Dagry van Crepuscule in Brussel gebeld,
maar die bleek niets van deze promo te weten. Misschien is het meer een PIAS
promotie 'device' en niet zozeer een Crepuscule CD.
Het gaat om een promo CD voor 'Gave van Niets', de 10-CD set die november
vorig jaar is gereleased. Nu heb ik deze info alleen van via via maar er
schijnt een promo CD the zijn (TWI 1003P ??) met daarop excerpts van die 10
CD's. Ik neem aan dat hij is gemaakt omdat het een beetje kostbaar wordt om
10 CDsets naar recensenten ed. te zenden. Ik weet niet, ik gok maar.
In ieder geval: weet jij iets van deze CD? En, als jullie er nog 1 hebben
rondzwerven, zou ik daar dan voor in aanmerking kunnen komen? Eventuele
kosten vergoed ik, dat spreekt van zelf.
Bij voorbaat dank voor je hulp.

hello,
i've been desperately looking for a cd by harmony rockets. for those that did
not know and may be interested, harmony rockets and mercury rev are the same
band. they released their only disc a few months ago, and for some reason it
has already been deleted. can anyone help me find two copies of this disc?
i'll send cash or trade. one thing that may be of interest to cranes fans is a
promotional only, limited to 2000 copies cd single for 'tomorrow's tears'.
i had never seen this before, but a guy at their label, bmg, sent it to me a
few months back. he said it was fairly rare. i can't remember the b-sides,
but there are three of them and an interview. i'm happy to part with it for a
copy of the harmony rockets.
thanks,

A few months back I recall mention of the Lilys' essential album "In The
Presence Of Nothing" being out of print. I was just checking Parasol's
web page and their December 16th update claims they have it back in
stock. You can reach them at:
or
for the update itself. The description reads:
Lilys In The Presence Of Nothing PS, US Beautiful release from 1992
back in stock. MBV fans who haven't heard this one should check it out.
Slumberland-20 CD 14.25
Buy buy buy! A shoegazer classic, much in the MBV vein but with its own
distinct sound.

I saw this disc used once in Dallas, and the b-sides are the same as those on
the Dedicated version of the EP: "Casa Blanca", "Sixth of May" (same as on
_Wings_of_Joy_), and "Dreamless". "Casa Blanca" is a great song, one of my
favorites by them. "Dreamless" is one of their more atonal pieces, but still
pretty good.

If you can put up with terrible formatting, occasional missing
information, and my total inability to write a program which correctly
computes the date, you can try my experimental archive at:
It runs back to November, 1994 (more or less, slightly more less). Much
to my amazement, a few web crawlers have also indexed the whole damned
thing, so you can often find prolific posters to 4ad-l located there via
web searches.

Answer - yes to both questions. If you tick CDs only, that's precisely what

The impression I got was that this person was just goofing off. This is
an excuse often used around here when a careless flame gets its poster
all wet, but my reaction at the time was that this was a rather clever
spoof on the conventional "who are you to judge my opinion" paradoxes
that show up here from time to time.
Just to set the record straight: If you don't like someone's opinion of
your opinion, then tell them your opinion of their opinion, and if they
have an opinion of that, repeat as necessary. It is never wrong to tell
someone that he is full of shit and it is even less often necessary to
note that your post is not in fact a new stone tablet sent from Great
Spirit Herself. Usually it's more fun to just go on arguing about what
you were arguing about rather than argue about what you ought to be
arguing about.
This has been a little bit of musin in the shape of a pretzel. More where
that came from if you fail to comply.

Funny (not) that when the band most often discussed on this list actually
signs to 4AD, they get their own list.
The US release of the Mojave album came out today and I bought it. I had
the CD already and could understand the words fine, so I essentially
bought it for pride of ownership and the artwork. (The artwork is
beautiful.) So guess what? Payment for my decadence is the booklet is
damaged. Let he who is clever and opens these CDs and plays them and puts
them back beware. Better yet, let him get a clue as to how someone else's
CD inserts should be handled, eh?
The thing is, I suspect this happened in the factory. Anyone else have a
Mojave insert like this? :(
Whatever. The art is indeed very nice, the band name...is irritating. Has
anyone ever tried continually changing their band name but releasing
albums all with the same title? _Mojave_ by Ask Me Tomorrow; "Mojave",
the hot new single from Tomorrow's Taken, etc...
Ugh. Score one against all that trademark copyright shit. Bleagh.

I just heard the most fucked-up thing this morning.
Someone posted a note here saying that they heard that RHP signed to RCA
and the album would be out this spring. I mentioned that to a friend of
mine who told me that he heard that RCA had an offer on the table (which
would have paid 4AD back for the money THEY spend on this new album, by
the way), and they called 4AD to find out the 'poop' on Mark and 4AD just
slagged Mark off completely, so RCA backed out. Really shitty, if you
ask me!

I watched a cute video of Catherine Wheel's "Judy's Staring At The

of a fan of Catherine Wheel (there was a very nice Australian Catherine
Wheel, but they are long gone). Now I am very interested.
So what's the goss. Are there more songs with Tanya? How did they
meet? What is the song _about_?

I assume this is the Berns nightclub in Stockholm. If so, does Swedish TV still
have "live

To my understanding, "A Girl Like You" was recorded after the UK release of
Queer, and seeing that they wouldn't have another full-length releasefor
quite some time, TWP decided to release it as a CD single in the Uk along
with the full-length US release which didn't come for sometime...perhaps
months... after the UK release of Queer. As was "Angel" and "Sucker m.f.",
which is pretty kewl. (i.e. it ROX!)

And of course there's always Foetus and that Spizz nutter (actually, I
think Jim "Foetus" Thirlwall qualifies as a nutter too) that do the same
thing as Caroliner.
It's not what the original questioner was after either but for a long time
(i.e. until I got the album), I thought that one of You've Got Foetus On
Your Breath's albums (Ache or Deaf, don't remember which) featured the
words "you've got foetus on your breath" in the lyric to every song, which
seemed like a neat sort of trick. Turned out to be on only one lyric, I
think.

Actually, it's Rob of Eggs. Andrew was Eggs' lead singer.
Who, by the way, might have a solo album out on Reprise.
Reprise gave Andrew money to record a demo for them, which he did
in England, with members of The Wedding Present. (So I'm told, anyways...)

Well, I (personally) think that its wrong to fuck with another person's
livelihood (if they did nothing to you, which, in this case, is the case)
and 4AD is therefore shooting themselves in the foot; by delaying RHP's
iminent (sp?) signing, they are just floating a HUGE amount of money that
Mark spent on recording this record.
Your point, otherwise, is well taken, I just thought it was a little
fucked. And trust me, I wave no golden banner for ANY major label.

Date: Thu, 18 Jan 1996 10:23:23 -0500
I concur on this whole RHP/4AD/IVO thing. Everyone needs to just step back,
take a deep breath and relax before spewing the bile against Ivo/4Ad. I'm
not especially pleased with the stuff coming out of 4AD these days either, but
I also understand that on a list "dedicated" to 4AD, that the label has been
placed upon a pedestal (note the # of people trying to get promos, calenders,
and other bullshit) and as such, criticisms of that same label will be the
harshest on this list.
I subscribe to this list because the tastes of folks on this list are more
closely aligned with my own than most other lists. It's nice not to have to
be constantly on the look out for stuff (note the ESP Continent thingie) b/c
I know my friends on this list will find these things and tell everyone about
them. That gives me time to do my own thing; then sit down when I want to
hear the latest news and grab all the cool limited stuff before the rest of
the world knows.
Why am I writing this and why are you reading this? Mainly because I think
everyone ought not to spread rumors about anything before further facts are
found out; as you may be falsely accusing someone who didn't do anything
wrong. (Remember the guy who slammed kj b/c he hadn't gotten his ESP Summer
tape last year?) These kinds of posts waste time and spread ill feelings.
Quotes like "i'm spitting on my monitor i'm so mad" only reflect badly on the
person who wrote that; not the person it is directed against.

Hi,
I subscribed to this list in hopes that it would help me with my
hobby. I collect Pixies albums, and am going for sort of a definitive
collection. I've got all of the major releases on CD and cassette, and
the Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim double album CD. There's also a few
singles and (my favorite) one called "Supernova" which is a recording of
a 1989 concert in Vienna. It has a ton of spelling errors on the label
and the audience is screaming in Austrian. The question is...
Does anyone have Pixies albums they'd be willing to part with (Frank
Black, Breeders and Amps, too)? B-sides, singles, EPs...et cetera.
OR OR OR is there anyplace where I can order some from? Thanks in advance.

Try programming in just the Paula tracks. Her songs are dark and lush and
cool and totally unlike the other members' songs which have a way of
dominating and destroying the album even if they are fewer in number. I
don't find songs like The Hand, Lonely Lights, Two Wrongs, etc, to be
country much except in a creepy, retro sort of way. I think I disagreed
with the Badalamenti comparison on some technicality but it is a good way
of describing what in the record you might have missed, if anything.

Sheesh!
I'm sure there are plenty of people who will agree with me on this,
but I have to ask previous slowdive fans who are currently
unfazed by "Ask Me Tomarrow": What is it that u like about Slowdive?
If you say: guitars, then fine, i can see why you think their
"country album" sux.
But the way I see it, is that Slowdive is more about their vocals
now, more than anything. This is evident on "Pygmalion".
I've always liked their vocals, and now that they are in the foreground,
I've decided the tradeoff (less guitar) is fine with me.
Cuz they sing like angels! Their voices are beautiful, and although I
think it will be hard for them to top "Souvlaki", I'll always buy
their records because no matter what direction they take, it will most
likely be bee-u-tiful.
I'll admit though, that lines like "Chained to my lover, as she's chained
to me", is a bit odd coming from the authors of "She Calls". But what
can I say, I'm into it. (:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:):(:)

Just for information, a Franck Black's french radio session has been
domestically released on CD last year (maybe 2 years ago?) in a nice black
box.
It has been re-released internationnaly severals months ago...
No idea if it's still available but I will check one of these day.

though i'm not really sure what good can come of it, i feel the need
to express my opinions on the state of the whole 4ad thing...
i remember a time not too, too long ago (though it's certainly
getting longer) where i looked forward to just about every release
on the label. those groups that were new signages or that i was
unfamiliar with at that time seemed almost certain to be putting out
quality releases worth picking up. the art and packaging was always
a step up (well, several steps up) from other record companies, and
the music always had residence in a certain 'genre' of sound (that
'4ad sound' that has since become kind of diluted, if not completely
splattered. i use that term for lack of a better one, because it
strikes me that 4ad, or ivo, or whoever... was trying to diversify
that 'sound' so much that, in the process, spread themselves too
thin in every direction.)
this is, of course, just my opinion, and i'm sure somebody's going
to kick my ass for saying so, but i just don't think that any of
the recently signed acts since, say, That Dog and Insides have
really been up to snuff with the quality of the music preceding it
(save Mojave 3, whom i actually dig) on 4ad. i won't even mention
the Guernica acts...
it's really sad, because i used to sort of count on them (4ad) for,
like, 50% of my music and now the only acts i pay attention to are
Heidi Berry, Mojave, Lush and Dead Can Dance/Lisa Gerrard/Brendan
Perry, constituting about 5%. i try not to put too much faith in the
rumours (though i'm pretty furious about the recent RHP one) but it
really does seem like the label has lost or dismissed most of its
great attractors, at least for me.
i'm reluctant to call ivo an asshole, i don't know him personally.
but i would have to agree with elvia, i think, who used the term
'megalomaniacal'. it DOES, in all fairness, seem that way.
i'm also reluctant to say that all 4ad talent is dead, because i
don't think it is. however, when you take into consideration that
4ad and its groups put releases out rather infrequently, the fewer
the good bands, the fewer the reasons for label-devotion. i've been
sort of watching and not saying much for about three months now, but
has anyone noticed that the actual posts that are true 4ad acts are
pretty few and far between. i'm not saying this is bad, i really
like when people post about other groups but, shit, doesn't it seem
like there's a 4ad newsgroup (still) based on what the music USED to
sound like. i get the feeling that that's why other readers/posters
are here, but in reality there's not much more reason for a 4ad one
than a Fontana one (Catherine Wheel, Cocteau Twins, Curve [sort of])
or a Nightshift, or a Dedicated, or a Food one.
i'd love to see the group completely transform into one that covered
all of the 'european alternative'-type music, encompassing all of
that good stuff (please understand that when i say european
alternative i'm referring not only to european acts, but bands like
RHP or Breeders or American Music Club who don't sound like the
normal 'alternative music' of the u.s. (the whole Seattle thing and
that Ace Of Base-type bullshit.)) i'd be worried to start another
newsgroup for that purpose, however, as i'm sure it would inevitably
turn into the latter. crap.
ok, i've completely lost the plot now, so i suppose this... whatever
it was, is at an end. i guess originally i just wanted to hear other
poster/thislisties concur with me but i can't imagine anyone has
read this far. oh well.
peace love and squalor,
K-
p.s. if there is strict accuracy in the 4ad shitting on RHP thing
than 4ad has sunk WAY lower than i thought. personally, i find it
hard to believe, as i think einexile said, that 4ad could have been
looking out for another label's wellbeing, especially one as huge as
RCA. it's possible, i suppose, but i'm just not sure... i'm biased
by being such a huge fan of RHP's music and the quality of their
writing, but if i had the money (which i don't, i'm just a sad
college student) i would finance anything they (and the band
Lowlife, for that matter) ever wanted to do in the future.
oh well, again.
p.p.s. yes, i realize i've not properly capitalized nor
sentence-structured this post so, if you have to, find something
else to flame me for. hopefully no one will, though i have the
sneaking feeling someone will. bye for now...
