Actually, Merzbow is more 'pure' noise, from what I understand/my
experience. Not instruments (guitar, drums, etc...) in other words. Any
thoughts on _Noisembryo_, by the way?

Actually, I dig the PDM stuff, as it does sound like band-noise rather
than sound-noise.
But what I want to know (even though I'm expecting the thing to be in my
mailbox tomorrow...) is are the tracks from previous releases? and is it
an EP or an album (even w/ 4 tks...)?

I have some Pixies CD singles I no longer desire (listed below). I'd luv to
trade them for some throwing muses stuff on CD: chains changed, firepile, count
ing backwards (the one with cottonmouth) and not too soon. If I didn't list it
, try me anyway.
I don't have a lot of confidence that people on this list will part easily with
rare TM stuff so my second shot is auctioning the pixies cds: after two week
s or so I'll take the best offers (starting at $6, postage inc.)

LETTER TO MEMPHIS (PRCD 8441-2) "Letter to Memphis" This promo cd just has the
album version on it with new artwork.
PLANET OF SOUND (BAD 1008 CD) "Planet of Sound, Theme from Narc, Build High,
Evil Hearted You"
DIG FOR FIRE (9 66596-2) "Dig for Fire, Velvety Instrumental Version, Winterlon
g, Santo" Winterlong also appears on "The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young"
MONKEY GONE TO HEAVEN (9 66707-2) "Monkey Gone to Heaven, Manta Ray, Weird at M
y School, Dancing the Manta Ray"
ALEC EIFFEL (66444-2) "Alec Eiffel, Letter to Memphis (Instrumental), Build
High, Evil Hearted You" LTM is the same as the album version but the vocal
part is played on guitar!

I think so...take a look at Addicted To Noise
They have a piece on (well, a wee competition in fact) Lush, as well as
sound bits from "Ladykillers", "Single Girl" and "Ciao!".

conspiracy theorists unite! anyone notice back-to-back references to 4AD in
the New York Times on Sunday and Monday? On Sunday, there was some silly
article about people's personal ads and they had one example of some
goth-chick who listed "people into 4AD-ish bands" or some such thing. Then in
Monday's paper, they used the 4AD Web site as an example of creative Web
page design...
hey. it's a lame topic, but i bet somehow it can all be traced to Kim Deal!

First some news that may be new to some of you - I got some info on a V23
exhibition in Newcastle from the end of this month to the end of March in the
post today. Doubt if I'll be able to make it - but I'd like to go.
Saw Moloko on Saturday night. For those unuinitiated, Moloko are a duo (expanded
to a sextet live) from Sheffield / Ireland who deliver a knid of trip-hop / pop
hybrid, with dashes of funk and drum 'n' bass, who've released one LP - the
wonderfully titled 'Do You Like My Tight Sweater'. They come across a bit like
Portishead on a party kick, if you can imagine the morose Bristolians on a party
kick (not a criticism - love Portishead to death). What surprised me was how
powerfully they came across live. Singer Roisin Murphy has an almost scary
charisma. Definitely a band to see if you get the chance.
Also picked up a few new records. Jacob's Optical Stairway are an offshoot or
pseudonym of/for Four Hero (not sure which), and their self-titled LP is a
cracking, mellow drum 'n' bass affair, with dashings of laid-back jazz, and
semi-ambient stuff.
Dave Clarke's debut 'Archive One' is a kind of career resume. It starts
brilliantly with the cinematic Rhapsody In Red, and finishes equally brilliantly
with a trip-hop anthem called Splendour. In between, you mainly get a diet of
fairly hard techno, some of which is quite rivetting, but in parts, so minimal
as to be a little dreary. More eclecticism of the kind shown by the album's
endpieces would be welcomed.
Thirdly, the debut album by south London's Brotherhood called 'Elementalz' which
has had critics hailing as the greatest UK rap album ever - like what's the
competition a cynic may say. That aside, it is a truly excellent record. It's
really refreshing to hear British rappers not simply aping their American peers,
but exploring our own culture with our own accents. This they do brilliantly.
I've never been a massive rap fan personally - I love hip hop, but I'm more into
the music. And Elementalz sure delivers on that point. Tunes, and the best beats
I've heard outside the tables of DJs Krush and Shadow for a long long while.
There is an immense amount of exciting British music being made at the moment,
coming from a complete disregard for categorization. Tricky, Goldie, Autechre,
Flying Saucer Attack, Disco Inferno, LFO - just to name a few off the top of my
head. Hardly a week goes by without coming across something new and exciting.
This stuff really is the music of the next millenium. Unfortunately, a lot of
this new stuff remains unheard, and certainly under-exposed, due to press and
radio's pathetic obsession with a load of retrogressive dunderheads, grouped
together as the bollocks that is brit-pop. It's the last desperate roll of the
dice for people still obsessed with formula-rock. Does anyone think that Oasis
could sell two million copies of a record if they were offering anything new?
What they supply is fraudulent, derivative and above all safe. They sell records
to people who want a safe, all-white alternative to what is happening in dance
culture and away from the mainstream. Tunes like they used to write. Oh fuck off
- if I want tunes like they used to write, then I'll listen to the ones they
used to write - the Byrds, Big Star, Led Zeppelin or whatever. It's all been
done and done better and fresher. It's not even that it's no longer possible to
sound fresh using guitar-bass-drums (a format now more than 50 years old - well
over half of the history of recorded music!). Pavement can still do it, the
Muses can still do it - My Bloody Valentine even use that format. No it's a fear
of the new. Perhaps it's a reaction to the incredible advances in technology
over the past few years. People want something old and familiar to cling to.
4AD seem to be sitting a little to much on the sidelines for my liking. Sure I
still love a good proportion of the records the label puts out. I wouldn't
really quibble with anyone they've signed over the past few years, since the
appalling Spirea X at any rate, and the consistently under-achieving Heidi
Berry. But I'd like to see Ivo et al looking around a little more for something
a little more surprising. Beggar's Banquet have Main, Flying Nun have
LaBradford, Go Discs (home of the Beautiful South!) signed Portishead. It seems
that other labels, formally much more conservative in their approach than 4AD,
are branching out. I'd hate to see a label that has given me more pleasure over
the last 16 years than any other be left behind.
Sorry it turned into a long rant - Dez

It is indeed available on CD.
And you are correct sir, a truly incredible piece of work.
First TWP disc I ever picked up--bought used during a trip to New
York, back in the days when one could pick up anything 4ad released,
knowing it would be fantastic. Also picked up _Livonia_, which had
just come out. Quite a shopping spree, that one.

Hoping 4ad will get out of its current rut.

Just found at my local record shop a promo 12" of Scheer. 2 songs
1. Shea (demo version)
2. Nemisis.
No art work. Can't remember the cat no.
Not really interested cause i read a review of it saying that there's
more of Scheer's trademark guitar waffle on it. I'll swap it for that limited ed
tion boxed-set of
LonelyIAE. Ha!
The main point of this post is that the new Lush is out Next monday
(16th) in the UK. Hoorah.
I get Cave's Murder Ballads for Valentines Day tomorrow.

I'm appending / editing my own post.
I figured it was someone who performed with This Mortal Coil,
possibly around the time Blood was recorded, but that hasn't made much
difference (i speak of the voice sample from Acid, Bitter & Sad which
was incorporated into one of the songs on Blood)....anyone? Anyone?
someone must know ;)

Throwing Muses at the Whiskey (West Hollywood)
on Feb 20th, in case anyone's forgotten. The tour
schedule was posted here a week or two ago, so check
the archives. Tickets $15 plus $2.50 to the ticket monopoly.
Still not a bad price, I must admit. A year or two ago,
who'd have thought I'd be really excited about seeing them!

can anyone tell me anything about cosmic baby? i heard a song by them
today (something space -- i forget the title), and it was absolutely
brilliant. my friend that taped it for me got it off a v/a disc, but i'd
like to know if they have anything else available. it sounded really
familiar (like someone had used it in a movie/tv show or something. . .)
anyway, any info would be appreciated.
thanks,
BiZ

I just saw a copy of their 1988 first album, on sale in NY for US$30. In
the RARE CD section.
I would also be interested in knowing, since Luna is pretty big, if some
of the stuff will be reissued. Seems like a good candidate for a little
box set.
Later,

I just bought the Mojave3 album yesterday. Neil and Rachel have a knack
for putting me to sleep, so I haven't really heard the album yet.
But, I noticed that Neil's vocals, this time around, sound very much like
those of Dean Wareham (galaxie 500/luna). Very honest, a nice touch.
