well, I'M not the one who typed glaring. besides, when you're a journalism
major considering an english double, any error is glaring. (note: this
does not, however make me immune to making such errors, so stop writing
that correction you were going to send.) yes, it's comprehensible, but
still wrong.
that muse on MOJAVE lyrics finished, i know pose the question:
does anyone have lyrics to mbv's "drive it all over me?" i picked up ymmr
last weekend (for $10 -- has it been rereleased?), and i love that song.

I'm not fond of HNIA either -- I think that makes exactly two of us on
the list :) -- but characterizing them as "noise" doesn't make much sense
to me. Granted, any one-word description is going to be vague and
imprecise, but I own "Livonia" and there's practically no moment of it
that I would consider noisy; on the contrary, it has a
hermetically-sealed glassy smoothness to it -- all little lines of melody
that repeat over and over, and breathy soprano vocals that are absolutely
inflectionless and sound as though they're reciting some kind of dull
voice lesson -- that I would characterize as "claustrophobic" or
"suffocating". But not noisy in any way that I conceive of that word.
Note that I'm not picking at your opinion (I basically share it) but your
choice of description seems odd. Perhaps you can expand on where the
noise comes in...

Um, they're either dormant or dead, to the best of my knowledge and "they"
as in Woodrow Dumas moved to Oregon from the south. I used to love CLM!!!
Then all of a sudden Woody moved and all the bands left the label (i can't
remember which happened first). Area permuted itself, Big Hat left the
label, Judgement of Paris felt cheated or something and put out another
excellent album on an even more obscure label (and i haven't heard from
them since). Um, and the rest of the crew well, who knows? Anyone have
better info? I'd love to hear it too.
In their finest hour C'est La Mort were magnificent! Johannah's
House of Glamour's first album sounds to me like the much tauted Long Fin
Killie. Does anyone have a copy of JHoG they'd like to sell me? (mine got
stolen) Area, Big Hat, and Judgement of Paris made me think that the
midwest was worthwhile! ;)
I did notice that Boroda (HI Igor!) was selling some CLM stuff so
you might want to snatch that up while you can, otherwise

I purchased box set for $65.00 in Minneapolis. I got a deal because
this was one of the many items that were lifted by a very degenerate,
sorry excuse of a human being this past summer. The discount was the
sales tax.
I've seen the list price for retail ordering at 70.00.

What's all this then? Is that the thingy with the song about the young lad
going off to war with his boots? No one answered my question about this
song when I posted to the list a few months ago.
If it is I'll have it. If not I'm interested in it anyway if you can tell
me some more about it.

Short review: It sucks, don't buy it.
Long review: It sucks, don't buy it. Totally uninspired - he seems to
have lost his knack with a tune, the music sounds like any MOR rock
group having a go at punk, the lyrics sound like a parody of his former
work. And the cover is the sort of thing a bored eight year old would
come up with if left alone with a PC drawing package. It's really
embarrassingly awful - the cover screams "DON'T BUY THIS, IT SUCKS!!!",
which means it is perfect. Initial copies come with a bonus CD with
four extra tracks, I haven't even managed to work up the strength to
listen to that yet. Don't buy it, it sucks. Got the message yet?
On a more positive note, THEWEDDINGPRESENT are back with no spaces
between the words and a six-track mini-album called "Mini" which is very
fine indeed - a slight return to their jangly sound before Steve Albini
got his hands on them. Short spunky pop songs - I remember when someone
else could write those...

No. The Heavenly Bodies album is not the Peter Ulrich 12",
but HB does have some people who have played on Dead Can
Dance album(s?) in the past. James Pinker and Scott Rodger.
It's also got Caroline Seaman who sang on Filigree and Shadow.
I think the album is very good. It's hard to describe since it's
quite varied-- anything from Dead Can Dance sorts of "ethnicity"
(for lack of a better word) to a dance tune. It's all very keyboard
heavy and probably what some would call "gothic" in places.
C'est La Mort licensed it from Third Mind as I seem to recall.
Looking at the CD right now, I see that it's almost all Pinker
and Rodger, with Seaman on vocals, plus Tony Waerea
(sax and didgeridoo) and Yvette Pinker doing keyboards on one song.
Released 1988. # CLM-010. CD and vinyl. There was also a 12"
with a version of "Rains On Me" remixed by Robin Guthrie (it's
included on the CD), a short version, and a non-LP/CD song.
The CD also has two other songs not included on the LP,
one of them live.
The Peter Ulrich 12" is two songs, "Taqaharu's Leaving"
and "Evocation". Released in 1990 on Corner Stone Records.
Cat no. PTD-001. Voices: Peter Ulrich, Angela Silverman,
Chuck Silverman; Oboe: Ruth Watson; Trombone: John Singleton;
Percussion & flutes: Peter Ulrich; Samples & sequencing:
John A. Rivers. Produced by John A Rivers and Peter Ulrich.

I think his email address is/was [email protected]. He sent me email the

Can anyone tell me anything about this band? I ask because I saw a very
brief review that compared them to DCD, and because, as a fallen

I just heard that Capitol has moved the Cocteau's release back until April!!!
The apparent reason was that too much was coming out around the original
date. Have they no faith in their artists?

Does the ESP Summer 10" contain all the stuff from the original cassette?
Will that be the same as the CD?

Fresh news directly from Karina Square, the french label which released
the ESP-Summer CD version of Ian and Warren, named ESP-Continent.
ESP-Continent is available trough Mail Order at:
Karina Square
107 rue de Javel
75015 PARIS
FRANCE
Price is $20, which include postage rates (for USA and wordlwide), payable
by IMO (Inernational Mail Order) to Karina Square, or simply cash.
(as always, put banknotes inside a sheet...)
I think they don't take any credit card.
There is 1000 (many a little more) copies NOW:
ESP-Continent is not a limited edition. I mean, Karina Square as today
about 100 copies left, quite all the 1000 first copies are sold (great!),
so they have already asked for a new pressing.
