Interesting, my impressions of their Seattle show last week (2/14) are
quite similar. I was also disappointed, thought they were flat, and
that drummer Narcizo seemed unhappy about something, perhaps about the
band's direction. Their Feb '95 Seattle show was so much better, the
energy was high, Narcizo's percussion was much higher in the mix and he
was simply incredible. (This was the 1st show in the University tour.)
At this year's show, the sound was so shitty it was impossible to
appreciate the new songs, although I'm sure I'll eventually like them.
I cannot for the life of me understand how the musicians can tolerate
such terrible sound. I'd walk off the fucking stage! Very muddy and
distorted. The bass drowned everything else out. I guess it's OK that
Kristin allows her vocals to be overwhelmed in the concert mix, but
it'd be nice to hear the guitar and drums! If I wasn't hopelessly in
love with the band, I would've left myself. Very frustrating.
I look forward to the new album, but the Muses are not in good form
right now. I hope I just caught them on a bad night.

Air Miami's album is pleasant but hardly a revelation. Similar to Unrest
but with a bit more variety in sound (probably due to Guy Fixsen's
production) including some (gasp) synths and (gasp) bits of beatbox. One
song is a total homage to early New Order, another to the Pixies. Bridget
has some very pretty soft little tunes that are among my favorites.
Overall I don't like it quite as much as Unrest since it lacks the
introspective droning quality that a lot of Unrest's best moments
("Isabel", "Angel I Will Walk You Home", "Vibe Out") had.
I've heard little bits of Liquorice, and for my money you'd be better off
getting either of Tsunami's albums first (though not the "World Tour"
comp.)
Scheer sound promising -- but I've been known to sing along to
Soundgarden on the car radio so take this with a grain of salt. I'm
waiting to see if their stuff will be released in the US before I invest
any money in them.

I'll admit my expectations were extremely high for
seeing Throwing Muses a few nights ago, so I probably
couldn't help being disappointed, but even so (and the
other 2-part post seems to back me up on this) I thought
they were just merely OK. "I should have known... I
should have known" kept running through my head, since
the only other time I saw them was on the Sugar / Boo Radleys
tour a few years ago, and this was right after Red Heaven came
out. They sounded half-baked then, and they sounded the same
on Monday night (I missed them at AVAM).
They did play some good songs (although I
could have easily done without Pearl and Furious... obviously
Red Heaven is my least favorite album). The first four off
of University were good to hear, and Snakeface was among the
best of the night, along with the "blow jobs" song from
the first album. But something just didn't work. Kristin sounded
really hoarse, like she had wrecked her voice days before,
the band sounded far from tight and bogged down in a sludgey
mix, and nothing really leapt out and grabbed me by the throat
like much of University does. They were competent but not
driven. And somebody *has* to break it to the band that they
just *cannot* play Counting Backwards anymore. It sounds terrible
without Tanya Donnelly. Ehhh. Maybe next time I'll see them
blow the doors off the place.

In the past month two CD's picked by friends for me whilst in the UK
cost L14.99 at HMV! Although one CD was pressed in Germany the other
one originated in the UK. Thank God for all the the smaller stores

For a moment I will sing the praises of Best Buy, with their great

exppect in there) and all for cheapper than any "music" store. The cheapest

Just thank god that you don't live in the UK. On the whole, CDs cost as
much here is UKPounds Sterling as they do over there in USDollars,
and while I'm no exchange rate expert, I know it's not 1:1 (yet...)

I could run one off of Netcom's majordomo server, but Netcom is giving
out no more of those. If anyone really wants to move this list, I'd be
willing to make repeated requests for another list; perhaps with some
support i could squeeze it out of them.
The down side is I am not a very good list admin and my archiving
involvez zipping shit up every month and throwing it on an unlabeled
floppy. :)
There is a place called Webcom which offers web, list, and ftp services
to individuals for $10/mo plus storage fees past 5 megs and traffic fees
past 200 megs. They are at http://webcom.com I think, if anyone cares. I
have thought about moving my lists there, but am too lazy/busy to look
into it. If anyone finds a place that offers listserv with some kind of
an automatic archiving sort of deal, please clue me in.
Just for the sake of discussing a little bit of music other than Lush
this month, I bought the Eno/Wobble album a while back and *love* it. It
is all instrumental, with a feel similar to Music for Films, actually.
There is cool, unobtrusive bass and drums here and about, and the album
is very dark--darker than Music for Films, actually, but without that
depressing end of the world feel to it. It's just plain very very dark.
And pretty.

On the 25 cent thread; I would pay it. Hell, I'd pay the $3.00 in advance for
the whole year. Might get rid of the deadbeats... ;)
People who bitch about paying this obviously don't find the information gained
from this list to be very useful. I on the other hand have saved more money
and found more rare stuff that I didn't even know existed prior to being on
this list. For instance; I just talked to the nice people at the Involved
Group who are sponsoring the cindyTalk tour and have offered, while they're
not coming to houston, to sell me the CDs I'm looking for b/c they happen to
be staying overnight in houston before continuing the tour in mid-march.
I woulda never had any idea if some nice soul hadn't given me their contact
info; so I'm saving $10 on this one deal. ($15 per CD instead of $20)
In short; if you can't spare 3 bucks to help some poor guy out to maintain
this list and keep everything under control; you really don't care about being
here. Take it from someone who has been maintaining an anonymous ftp site for
3 years. It's a pain in the ass. People sending you mail all the time "i
can't get the files" "they're all corrupt" "can you tell me where so-and-so
is?" It's a lot of work; and while I don't mind it (i'm running it on a mac
so it's simple to administrate) there is ALOT of work involved.

though I get the feeling this will be contested, I didn't care for
'Tarnation'. It's basically 'country/western' music. If you like that
sort of thing, then it might do it (that whole leather & levi thing)
pretty well, but its not my cup of tea so I cant tell you if its ground
breaking country music or not... If your looking for innovation or unique

i agree most of the porjekt stuff I've necountered is a little
melodramatic and 'over-gothed'. All except Love Spirals Downwards. They
do that etherial thing, but mostly with overlapped (beautiful) vocals.
They have two female vocalists and fairly sparse intrumentation, but they
create these swirling soundscapes that are often too abstract to be
'goth' or full of adolescent silliness.
Their first disc "idylls" is wonderful, though a little overwhelming in
the swirling ether department at times. Their second disc "Ardor" is
pretty wonderful and pulls some of their songs together a little tighter.
It also learns the lesson that sometimes less is more and allows silence
to work with some of the more luscious bits, very successful imho.

i've been interested to read people's reviews of other recent
throwing muses shows. i went to the second of the two shows
they played in SF this week.
on the whole, i was somewhat disappointed. i saw them at
GAMH a few months back, and they gave a wonderful performance,
even though the sound sucked. at Slim's on monday the sound
was better, but the performance seemed just OK.
i saw set lists for both shows on alt.music.4ad, and
sunday's set included some songs i would have
loved to have heard in that setting. oh well.
kristin is still a riveting performer, IMO.
i just wish they'd come back to SF and give a non-smoking
concert. both the GAMH and Slim's shows would have been
much more enjoyable if i'd been able to breathe.

ust charge something like $5 year, an amount actually worth bothering to
write a check for, or cash a check for, or for even de3aling wiht the whole sill

Well, it's certainly not "Country & Western" in the classical sense.
Don't mistake this for Kris Kristofferson or Willie Nelson.

I can't see how "leather & levi" fits in with any of the aforemetioned -
C&W or Tarnation. When it comes to the album itself, my feelings are a
bit mixed. Briefly, I like the songs Paula sings on - hell I love a few
of them... The songs with that bloke crooning should have been left out
though - they're probably the songs closest to what most people would
call contry and western.
But don't trust me (or JB here)...I've got a pair of Levi jeans. I might
have my old leather jacket somewhere as well. Come to think of it, I
actually have a Jonny Cash album.

Maybe there is no other hide meaning...
Heard that some guys compared HNIA to a "new" TMC when Livonia and HiiYH came
out... which is definitly not the case, but I thing TMC and HNIA are among
the best that ivo released on his [major] independant label... it's really
a pity cause I found Warren so interesting, [it's my favorite player /
enginner / maker of music and sound!] when I find his music has so little
impact here!
BTW, on the subject of TMC, I'm afraid this question may have been posted
already, but I was off line during 6 months, and It's not on the FAQ:
>>>> Where is on the sleeves of TMC albums?
Is the rumor that Ivo is currently setting up again a TMC project known
by anyone here?

There's only one vocalist, actually (Suzanne Perry). Sparse?
At times, but listen to the end of "Tear Love From My Mind". There's about
FIVE guitar tracks going all at once. 'swonderful.
I think Lycia's pretty impressive. I wouldn't count them out at all.

I took stock of Projekt and found my personal view of their repertoire
isn't any worse than a certain other label, and in some instances their
track record is a little better:
PROJEKT ACTS I LIKE (to varying degrees): Love Spirals Downwards, Lycia,
Bleak, lovesliescrushing, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Soul Whirling
Somewhere, Eden, Attrition.
PROJEKT ACTS I DON'T: Human Drama, Ordo Equitum Solis, Thanatos, Vidna
Obmana.
4AD ACTS I LIKE (once again, to varying degrees): DCD, HNIA, Lisa
Gerrard, Heidi Berry, Lisa Germano, Throwing Muses, Kristen Hersh solo, Lush.
(Omitted because they've left the label: RHP, Cocteau Twins, Wolfgang Press.
Also I've not really heard Tarnation or Mojave 3 yet.)
4AD ACTS I DON'T: Scheer, Amps, Air Miami, Licourice, Kendra Smith, Pale
Saints post-Ian, Belly.
Projekt bands are often a bit melodramatic, but at least there seems to be
