No, you're not... there are silent people out there who love them just as
much as we do. Yes, WE because you're not alone. Actually I like them all
somewhat equally. I can't put favorites when it comes to lush. I keep
hearing that the new stuff sucks but I don't know.... I'm getting it, Single

I have the possibility of interviewing Bel Canto by telephone for Muse
Magazine (their webpage is: http://www.val.net/VillageSounds/Muse/ ),
which is created by John Koenig. The interview, if it comes to pass
(which seems quite likely) will be on this web page.
What five questions would you like to see answered in the interview by Bel
Canto? I would prefer music-related questions, such as the creation of
music, the songwriting process, recording process, etc., rather than
personal or music business-related questions. ---------
In the interest of time, please email me, as well as posting, by 5:00 p.m.

dearest martin, e, etc....
my prev. post was not interested in the cut n paste indulogence it seems
to have spawned... nor is it (or are many I wood thunk) interested in
having its grammer corrected... welcome to the internet. guess what, typos
happen.
also on the subjective vs. objective note... no shit subjective taste is
what's going on here. In my request for a few objective comments, I am
merely suggesting that instead of the hyperbolic proclamation of "Lush
(or fill in any other title here) is crap"... why not talk about our
tastes in a way that everyone can benefit from? I personally get very
little from somebody else's 'review' of a disc when they rant on and on
about how much they hate it. It doesn't make me want to either buy it or
pan it... it in short tells me nothing except that the writer has an axe
to grind.
Much like the british press which is intensley responsible for MUCH bad
music journalism as well as sensationalizing/playing king maker/or
scapegoating... a 'review' such as this one accomplishes nothing except
needles 'flamage'
I thought this was a forum for exchanging information about 4AD artists.
If I was interested in the kind of reviews I have seen in this case, I
would simply pick up a copy of some sensationalist rag. There is a
neutral language for discussing this, mankinds most subject of
passions... I merely suggest some of us learn better to use it instead of
making selfinflating proclamations of taste.

well if are talking about wappinschaw, which has been out for some time, i
found it mixed. many of the songs are cindytalks harsh grinding sort of
stuff, but his great cover of "first time ever i saw your face" is very
melodic and the track "snowkiss" ranks as my favorite cindytalk song of all
time. the piece actually has dubbed samples from the in this world tracks
from the double album set.
my advice would be to get it

Recent discussions aside, this stuff is not science. If we were to
restrict ourselves to "objective reasons" we'd end up just listing the
track titles and lengths. Yawn. Anything we say here about music,
including why we like it or not, is opinion. And an opinion that's stated
in detail is more interesting than some brief & useless thing like "I
didn't like it because it sounded too much like Elastica" which is the
caliber of most of the previous commentary on Lush's new stuff.
I have no problem with people disagreeing about opinions of a band, but
calling somebody an asshole because his strongly-stated opinion disagreed
with yours is childish. If you think he was wrong, write a good review in
which you put across your opinion, and let the rest of us choose. Let
that be your assignment for today. If you can't come up with a coherent
and interesting review, may I paraphrase your mom and suggest "if you
can't say something nice, and you can't say something that's at least
well-written, don't say anything at all?"
A good example of how things _ought_ to work was the recent His Name Is
Alive thread -- in response to some people's dismissal of "Livonia",
other people wrote some quite interesting responses telling what they
found so interesting about that album, or why they found it uninteresting
but HNIA's other album's interesting. Even speaking as someone who
doesn't like the band, I found it a good [th]read.

And was not the only one to recently make such comments about Eden.
I agree that there are similarities between Eden's first album and a lot of DCD
work, although I would argue that Gateway is more consistently atmospheric
throughout. However, I do not think that Eden's more recent work - "Fire and
Rain" and the versions on "Earthbound" have much to do with DCD at all. So even
if you could consider their early work a "ripoff", i think they have moved on
since then.

hi!
i know there has been a lot of slagging on the new lush eps, and to some
degree i agree with some of ppl on this list who are not too impressed
with the new sound...i hated "single girl" when i first heard it but now,
it kinda grew on me so it's not that bad...i do like "tinkerbell", but i
think the version on "volume" is better. i thought "lady killers" was
crap at first too but now i really like the song. so i think the rest of
the stuff just might grow on me in time.
but anyways, i was looking at the lush discography and i saw a fairly
good lush live recording called "luscious" or something like that...but
does anyone know anything about it?
any info would be great appreciated!
thanks!

about tears of joy. the song is definitely older style cocteau twins. wall
of guitars, beautiful vocals & melody, the whole bit. i hope the whole new
album doesn't sound like this, because it would be a giant musical leap
backwards, but i wouldn't mind a couple of tracks like this. go find
yourself a copy today and renew your faith...

The Michael Brook / U. Srinivas effort is entitled _Dream_ and it came
out on Realworld last year (late spring if I remember correctly). It
features only four tracks; however each is quite long with the shortest
being track three "Run". It is terrific in that they combine the melodic
elements of Indian music with the contemporary guitar. East meets west
so to speak. If you see it I highly recommend you pick it up. Currently
the cd living in my stereo is the Hector Zazou / Harold Budd
collaboration entitled _Glyph_. I've only had it a couple of days now
but it seems to me it is the ultimate in cold weather listening music.
I've heard Michael Brook has got some other stuff on the go including a
collaborative work with Daniel Lanois. I have also heard that Brook is
now a producer for Realworld. Can any one confirm this? Does this mean
he'll no longer be with 4AD?

and a great deal more. just wanted to say that i think you brought
up a valid point and offer my agreement.
i tend to get really excited when i come home and find i've got some
thirty or forty messages to download. however, i find that 9/10ths
of it invariably consists of idiotic flamage and self-important
group/release assessments. it's rather unfortunate. were it not for
the fact that i occasionally find some really interesting and
valuable info about a several groups i listen to, i'd have unsubbed
because of it. it just wears me down to look at it, or even flip
through it.
obviously it's not everyone... and frankly, i'm not interested in
naming names, but i'm just not sure why everyone has to tear the
bands and fellow listies apart so vehemently on isolated events.
one word... RE-fucking-LAX.
life's too stupid to take everything so seriously.

Did anyone else happen to notice that the Cranes contributed to Keifer
Sutherland's psychopathic nature in "Eye for an Eye"? I was falling asleep

that was the song. At any rate it is off _loved_ and i didn't even know they
had a video! Boy does Alison look amazing... *sigh* I'm still upset that
she got laryngeitis when she was supposed to play in houston and cancelled.
Anyone out there have any Cranes videos? Wanna trade?

I think there is an e-mail address on Scary Verlaine which I could

Especially when one is too lazy to go back and correct them, as you
clearly are considering the above paragraph has more mistakes than most
people have in entire posts. "Or are many I wood thunk?" What the fuck
is that? If you can't use the English language properly, then
you should at least admit to this personal failing; otherwise, you have
no grounds to get all huffy when someone corrects you. Welcome to the
Internet indeed, where one is likely to encounter people whose opinions
differ from yours, and people who will call your mistakes to your
attention, _and_ people who will not be terribly impressed when you cop
an attitude over it. Frankly, I am that kind of person, and I don't
apologize for it.

Once again, this is not objectivity; _any_ discussion of tastes will be
subjective. But once again, your misuse of English vocabulary is
what's leading to confusion here, because what you want has nothing to do
with
objectivity or subjectivity, but rather the attitude and demeanor of those
doing the posting. You want reviews to be oh so polite and civilized, not
merely hysterical NME-style acts of "they're shit, they suck" character
assassination passing as music criticism. On this point I would have to
agree with you; I would much rather read reviews that were without
emotional histrionics. But then I don't think e, whose review is what
started all of this (e, you do seem to have this effect on people, you
scoundrel), is really guilty of that. True, there was some level of
emotional outburst in his review, but as this was reflective of his
genuine disappointment with the single I think it was justified. The fact
is that e _did_ review the single, unlike the average British magazine
"critic" who will talk about himself, his cat, the weather, then call the
artist a prat or a wanker and then try to pass his urine sample off as a
review.

I would be in agreement with much of this, particularly if the review
were the misguided NME-type I referred to in my last paragraph. At the
same time, I don't think this sort of thing goes on on this list too
much. People flame e and myself because our reviews are impassioned, but
I don't think I've ever just ranted on and on meaninglessly about
anything, even if I hated it. I always try to explain why.

Well, be careful here, because, for one thing, any "proclamation of
taste" (got the spelling on that one, good :-) ) is going to be to some
extent "selfinflating". The difference is whether or not the reviewer has
anything meaningful and intelligent to say, not simply the tone he brings
to his review. Saying "Lush are crap" is not intrinsically invalid, if
you're careful to outline why in detail. Saying "Lush are crap and anyone
who disagrees with me sucks dessicated elephant dicks," then leaving it
at that and ignoring all subsequent flamage (or worse, responding even
more offensively) contributes nothing. But then again, I must disagree
with you in that I don't see a whole lot of that on 4AD-L. I _do_ see a
lot of it some other lists I subscribe to, where it can get very
unpleasant. A good example would be Paperlate, the Genesis list, where
there is definite split between fans of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and
Phil Collins-era, and quite often cases have arisen where little more is
going on on the list than a big pissing contest, with ultimately no point
to the entire exercise. I think the 4AD-list has
been much better overall in that regard, and much more worthwhile to read.

Mephisto has a quite unique and beautiful instrumentaion, unlike
any other band I know. Their guitars and melodies are quite
origianal. I must add that their lyrics are quite deep and poetic,
some of which focus on myths and symbolism of pagan times, (if you are
able to recognize it). Indeed, the refrain of "Protecteur" which was
recently quoted does sound somewhat simplistic, but this is not an
adequate example of the band's lyrical depth. Besides, I must add
that this song is indeed quite powerful and beautiful. Their style
and lyrics reflect what the band and, especially what Bari-Bari, the
song writer, is interested in - and do not seem in any way to be
exaggerated or ostentatious for merely a "theatrical /medieval"
effect.
It is not appropriate to compare this band to DCD, for they are not
similar, beyond the fact that they are both quite original (personally
i cannot compare any band to DCD where this catgory is concerned).
The lead singer, Christiana, sounds nothing like Lisa Gerrard.
"Terra Regina" is my favorite album by Mephisto, followed by "The
Eternal Deep". I recommend them!

Kim's heroin addiction
progresses and she finally
releases her long awaited TUBA HITS vol 1
rocketing her to superstardom and she runs
for presedent until her heroin addiction is revealed at which point she
goes into treatment and is released only to become an alchoholic and
finaly dies in a pool of her own vomit in some hollywood back alley at
which point Kim Deal MTV Live and Unplugged is released which goes
multiplatnum in it's first week inspiring hordes of clone ripoff bands to
pretend the all have heroin addictions and are full of angst, Ivo signs
all of these bands makes millions buys out the whole time/warner
multimedia empire and becomes the next donald trump, unfortunately his
heroin addiction runs rampant untill he overdoses and dies leaving the
whole thing to his cat, who is in fact an expert manager and leads the
new and improved 4ad to bigger and better things (including but not
limited to buing out friskies cat food)

Well, in this case, you might want to recall that Joseph Burns actually
started the whole with a smartassed flame of e's review of Lush ("Do you
want to write for NME when you grow up...?" or something like that). He
also made some very bad points, poorly worded, which I felt compelled to
respond to. Flamefests serve nothing but I do think there is room for
debate on these mailing lists; they weren't simply created to fawn over
the artists they represent. And when someone who hates an album pans it,
someone who likes the album is bound to leap to its defense.
I agree that posts should be relevant but let's remember how these stupid
things start in the first place. And this is not a flame, in case you
were wondering.

I totally agree with Martin! Go on and say it Martin, some of the newer
4AD bands are bad! Something happened in the late 80's and I think
I know what it is. Ian McCulloch once said E&TB were about being
'better', and I think this applies to a lot of the groups on 4AD in the 80's.
The bands I was attracted to were the ones who cared more about the
music then themselves/stardom. The music came first, not the 'look' or the
'sound'.
The bands were honest, and you could tell every song meant a great deal
to them. I felt this way about RHP when I first heard 'Down Colorful Hill'.
Same goes for Pale Saints. But bands like that seen to be few and far
between on 4AD and other labels.
Lets face it, do you really think Lush ever had anything to say that they really
cared about? No. All the bands that get praise on the list all have this same
thread. I don't want some cheese band, I want honesty and sincerity
in the music. For the most part, what the band sounds like is irrelevant.
Great bands are still out there, but for some of us they're a lot harder to
find now then they used to be.

Hi Walter,
If you want to hear 4ad type stuff in London, the Limelight is not the
place to go (I assume there isn't a club called the "Slimelight"). The
Limelight is in Leicester Square, and is a dance oriented club as far as
I know (went there last year, to try it out, 'cause I was on the guestlist).
A place that looks a good bet for 4ad music is "Bedrock" or something
like that. As for you thinking it is too much to ask for advice about
Egypt, Turkey, and Israel.....someone might be able to help you out,
including myself as it happens. The place to go to in Jerusalem, Israel,
is called "The Underground", and has a great party-like atmosphere, with
loadsa people dancing on tables and stuff. There was also a place right
nextdoor to "The Underground", which I didn't try out. I'm sorry, but I
can't remember what it was called. As for Egypt and Turkey, I have never
been to either country, so I couldn't tell you where the best places are.
Consult a decent guidebook such as the "Lonely Planet" series.
Hope this helped,
Roger

Greetings from Russia to everybody,
If there is somebody on the "list" who has info about 4AD' early years,
concretely The Birthday Party? I'm interested in their single of 1982
_Drunk on the Pope's Blood_ (live, with "The Agony is the Extasy" of
The Birthday Party and guest star Lydia Lunch)?
Is there anyone who has this record and can explain in detail what is it
and better I would be most grateful if somebody help me with the copy
of this release! The creation of Lydia Lunch is very interesting for me
as I write book about her, and it's a GREAT problem to find this record here
in Russia. Thank you before!
All the Best,
--Igor V.

Paul,
Thanks for making me feel really old!
I'll have to admit you're somewhat right. The
older you get, the more you hold on to the
same bands you listened to in the past.
But I still stand by my original comments. I have
been in bands and have consequently met
new bands for a long time (ugh!), and the
truth is things have changed, and many bands
are making music for all the wrong reasons.

>I thought silverchair was from australia?
I had no idea where they were from. I was just saying it was a typical,
unimaginative knock-off grungesque name, and noting that Seattle is _full_
of bands with names reflecting the abovementioned qualities. I guess this
had been on my mind since, the day before my post, I was looking through a
local "hipster" rag and talking to someone about how many cheaply
thrown-together band names there are. For example, Silverchair -- it sounds
like they just thought, hey that has a cool ring to it (kinda like previous
band Silverfish, only that's actually a word). There's this onslaught the
last couple years of bands with totally arbitrary-sounding names with common
keywords and a lack of imagination.
Ob4AD(sortOf), the "dreampop" thing started a trend of one-word/syllable
names (lush, ride) which spread like a virus into the pop/rock world (bush).
But some of those in the first wave had multiple meanings, which was
interesting, and also it was novelly mimimal then. Now it's just an easy way
to pretend your band's not pretentious, often keying in on ubiquitous words.
(A band called Salt just came to town -- please pass the Veruca!)
A few other over-used for group names words:
Twin(s) -- *_Never_ two people!
House / Haus
Psychic / Psychick
{Ah well, it's all better then the 70s-80s wave of defaulting to
geographical location... Chicago, Boston, Oregon, Asia, Berlin, Europe,
Japan... Laibach... ;) }
Erm, that was an unsolicited awful rant, and no real 4AD content, huh?
Sorry. Disclaimer: I don't intend to trigger any "who cares about names,
it's the music that counts" posts, cos I basically agree. (Artist
nomenclature is an essentially separate micro-art form, IMO.)

Walter,
When I was in London in 1991there was a club called Slimelight. It is round the
corner from
the "Angle Of Islington" tube stop. It only opens about 11, and there were peopl
waiting to get inside at 1 am. There are two dance floors (downstairs rock / met
l).
Upstairs was very Goth / Industrial / 4AD. Examples: Creaming Jesus, Young Gods,
Sisters, Bolshoi, Gene Loves Jezebel, Fields, Bauhaus. But I definitely remember
dancing to Xymox's A Day 12", Sixteen Days Reprise (TMC), and The fatal impact (
CD).
If the DJ has such goodies, he probably has loads more 4AD stuff.
Israel has two good places next door to each other. The Underground (Jerusalem)
plays a mix
of commercial shite and some goodies. I definitely remember leaping up and down
o
The Cult, Joy Division and Siouxsie. The normal wanna-be stuff like Billy Idol a
d INXS was
also played, but in Israel, you have to make the most of it - you may have to li
ten to
Madonna and Whitney at the other 30 places. There is another place which can pla
some
good stuff too - The Arizona Bar. The Ego Trip in Tel Aviv tries to play "altern
tive" stuff
but ends up with 95% (shite) techno and 5% "wierd" music like KLF. But drinks ar
strong
(greens) and the people don't care how you act. Oh, yes - there was a shop in Na
anya
that had Blood only four days after it was released in the UK. You might ask the
for
clues. Can't remember who they were, but Natanya has only 1 or 2 CD shops.
Egypt. Forget clubs for alt music (unless something drastic happened). My best m
sical
experience in Cairo was watching the Lightshow on the pyramids at a tea room smo
ing
some supposed "apple tobacco". Tell me another one. Course you could listen to a
walkman.....
Hope this helps

This point is made fairly often, and is valid in the cases of some
people, but I've noticed that most people on here who miss the Good Old
Days of Victorialand and whatever also listen to a good deal of music
that is not too far off from what 4AD is putting out these days--but they
see 4AD's offerings as lesser examples for the genres involved.
Personally I don't mind what 4AD is up to and am happy that they have
been bold enough to kick so many awful bands off their label in a short
amount of time. I think the Lush singles are the worst 4AD releases since
Ocean Beach if not Toward the Within. For that matter, notice that most
of the protest about that single is about content rather than style.
Aside from the poor performances mixing the main problem is the
songwriting has completely lost its character. However, the actual song
Single Girl is indeed catchy and kind of fun, and might not be so
annoying in the context of good album--but given four (or perhaps five)
terrible new songs on the singles, I am not hopeful about the album.
Of which I think I have a copy in the pipe. If so, expect some more of my
unfair lambasting of this great band later this afternoon. :p

No, I don't think we do. You're asking for "objective" reviews without
offering any examples thereof. We've established that the word alone does
not signify what you think or though it does. Moreover, you have yet to
be voted List Czar and the idea of you (or Derf, or anyone) telling
people how not to write a review is pointless; about the only thing
anyone can agree on is that "They suck" does not connote a good review.

"Kristen and Jeffrey will sing the Kookaburra song. What
is the name of the song [garbled few words]"
"[????]" probably not from the same source. May not even be a sample.
"And what's it all about anyway?"
"Well, we was just riding home. We looked back and just saw a cloud
of dust behind us"
"And what was the cloud of dust caused by?"
"COLOURBOX" probably just someone in the studio saying this
"What do you think of it?"
[a backwards male voice]
[a few words nearly impossible to make out]
"Boys, boys, boys...."
"I never really considered myself as a musician"

In an OLD message dated 96-01-20 02:34:47 EST, you write:

btw it's also on ...and dog bones too.

1000 copies were pressed, and once those 1000 are gone, they're gone baby
gone. No future re-releases/re-pressings/sneaky tacking on at the end of
the ESP CD or such. Stateside domestic postpaid price on these things is
$6.50, so judge accordingly with regards to what your local shop is
charging. In as far as just how difficult this record is to locate, well,
that's a good question. There are multiple distributors and mail order
houses that carry this record, so I'm assuming they'll eventually trickle
their way down indiedom. As someone had mentioned earlier, Vinyl Ink in
Maryland has the 10", and so does Parasol.
Hope this helps,

There have been a couple of requests lately for addresses of mailing
lists, web sites, details on compilations, etc. which are all covered in
the FAQ. So surf over to:
