It all depends on what *you* like.  On this list it was dubbed as one of the
best AND one of the worst releases of the year.  I would of voted it (if I
did) as one of the best of the 4AD lot of '95.  If you like a mild to
moderate country flavor in your song, then you'll probably go for it.  Paula
Frazier's voice makes the album for me.  She has the same vocal range of a
certain Liz, but with styles that differ Greatly (note capital "G").  Some
songs on _Gentle Creatures_ , resemble late '50's country standards due to
Paula's voice with acoustic, electric, and lap steel guitars, and Mr.
Defever's slightly smoky production.  Other songs, most notably the ones in
which Lincoln (the guitarist) does vocals, are not my favorites, but it
doesn't ruin the album for me.

I've found it active once or twice with only a few people joined.  I've
also created the channel numerous times and have had no one else join.
Perhaps more people could try out IRC, eh?

Subject: the new rachel's


i havent been paying much attention to the list lately so i apologize if this
is old news but

i just purchased the new rachel's cd "music for egon schiele" today which is
the soundtrack to a play and features a much stripped down version of the
former rachel's lineup. i am really quite taken with this cd. in some places
it is very gorecki, in other it sounds like "cornfield" by hnia. the
principal instruments are piano, viola, and cello as well as the occasional
locomotive sample. i cant characterize it as background music for it is a bit
too "alive" in my opinion and certainly does not fall into any simplified
catagory of "gothic" "ambient" or "projekt sounding". the pieces seem
comprehensive as a whole (meaning there is a certain this mortal coil aspect
of a sustained collection of songs that revisits the same themes) but each
song has its own character. it makes me very interested in seeing the play.
the album in my mind is tough to listen to but well worth the reward. i think
it is a very solid effort overall

i understand it is out on inexpensive vinyl as well as in a cd format. the cd
comes pacakged in a similar manner to the last rachel's output and features
some good reproductions of some of schiele's work inside. the back cover
lists mostly what they ate while making the album (3lbs of cheez-its? good
heavens)

any one else have it/like it?

     yeah i picked it up on vinyl a few days ago.  i hadn't heard their
prior stuff but i picked it up merely from talk of them by people.  i must
say that i really enjoy it, it flows quite nicely.  i'll probably pick up
their other release sometime this week and check it out.

i'd have to disagree.  my projekt collection is limited to only 4
discs, but i've found their releases to be of the highest standard,
not "over-gothed" in the slightest.  black tape for a blue girl and
soul whirling somewhere create some of the most beautiful and caring
music i've ever heard...lycia's driving and rhythmic sound really
catches me up...and love spirals downwards is, well, ethereal.

actually, love spirals downwards is two people; ryan lum on
instruments(which i believe are primarily 12 string guitars and
keyboards) and suzanne perry on vocals.

i haven't heard "ardor" yet...i hope to get it sometime soon(maybe
when i FINALLY order the new soul whirling somewhere album).  i was
somewhat disappointed with "idylls" when i first listened to it.  it
didn't sound quite as "deep" or "layered" as i expected it to.
however, after listening to it several times, i've really started to
enjoy it.

thanks for listening to my drivel...

Subject: face the strange


Changes.

Everything I'm involved with is going through some
major changes right now on all fronts: Dewdrops,
personal, professional, academic, relationships,
Elysium, family... Most of it is rather exciting
and will bring improvements to everything involved.
What would concern this list the most is what's going
on with the tiny little Dewdrops thing I run, and most
importantly, when the long awiated next issue #15 will be
finished (not to mention the sleeves for the 7" single
we just released). Pat and I agree that both of these
things will happen within the next month. Then it's
basically all but goodbye to Pat as he starts a family,
with a little one due in May. The anticipated changes this
will bring about for Dewdrops include my bringing two new
people onto our so-called staff, with regular contributions
from several others a possibility. Even with the official turnover
still a ways in the future, I wanted to make note of who
is involved:

Gil Gershman. You've seen his reviews many times on here, he
just became a reviewer for The Big Takeover, and he gets
hives if you mention Blur in his presence (though not me,
I can tell you).

Brant Nelson. Yours truly. Professional astronomer by trade,
amateur astronomer by preference. Beer and single malt scotch
advocate, home brewer, record label owner.

Rodney Rodriguez. Renowned guitarist for Elysium, expert
on all kinds of music, and hamburger chain enthusiast.

If this sounds like a fun family to join, and if you'd
like to get involved in the process of creating a quality
publication, then get in touch with me by email. I certainly
don't have the time or the resources to have a whole ton of
people involved with Dewdrops, but I can see broadening out
the current "two people do absolutely everything" process
just a little, and I'll welcome any sort of ideas and input.

Thanks for caring and reading all this,

Brant

I saw that ad on MTv one night, a week or two ago. I thought, so this is that
"Sweetness and Light" ad. So this is what I've been watching Singled Out for
four hours for... (No! I was cooking.. the TV was just on.. really!) They
really should have put Beavis and Butthead in there somewhere for variety.

Anyhoo, what is going on with the Lush covers for "Single Girl?" Is the person
responsible going for "low-fi" or "low-concept" art? It may be reasonable if
the end result is interesting but I wouldn't even call them that.
The logo's ok, not bad but those photos are simply embarrassing. I wouldn't let
anyone put stuff like that on my music.
I'm not even a great fan... just have the normal stuff of theirs.

There's an interview with Robin Guthrie in the new issue of Guitar Player.
Pretty interesting stuff, especially about Otherness - something about how
"there's an ambient record inside every Cocteau Twins record". Plus the
bastard has TWO Fender Bass VIes (white ones, too - not the icky sunburst
the reissues come in) and he's not even using them right now!

Listies in Canada may have caught the pack of 4AD videos on CityLimits last
night - RHP's "24", Swallow's "Ocean & Blue Skies" (somewhat interesting,
but what's the deal with her hair?) and one by the Pale Saints which the
titles said was "Fine Friend" but which was actually "Angel (Will You Be
My)" - a dull video for a dull song written by what appears to be a dull person.

Subject: Re: Moving the 4AD List?


My payment suggestion wasn't really serious; as Mike Lawyer points out
the logistics of collecting quarters (or even a yearly fee) from everyone
are kind of onerous unless we all use DigiCash (see www.digicash.com) or
one of its lesser competitors.

Laurent LaPierre mentioned having the ListServ send out a weekly notice
with details on unsubscribing and where to find the FAQ. A great idea but
I'm not sure which flavors of list server can handle this. Another option
would be to append a line or two of text to the end of each message.

I find it hard to believe that some people don't think this list is worth
25 cents a month. Jeez, that's a tenth the price of Option or AP or any
other music mag you can name. Granted, the magazines are a bit better
edited and don't have flamewars ... actually if the admin were paid it
might become worthwhile to do human editing on the list, at least the
digest, and weed out the obviously misdirected things like "unsubscribe
me" and sale bids.

This was one of the most powerful shows I have seen in a long time. Gordon and company really kicked it in last night at Cleveland's Speak in Tongues. The club could not have been more appropiate. It was an old house that the club owners live in. They bring in acts from all over the world that would not normally draw a huge crowd but only a select audience. To my suprise, the club owner is my friends cousin. Things got off to a really great start. If anyone is into the "Goth" scene, and I use that term quite loosely, they would have loved to have been there. Tara Van Flower of Projekt's LYCIA was on hand for the show and the bands leader, Mike Van Portfleet, was on the guest list. As for if he showed I wasn't able to find out. Also, the band members of LESTAT were sighted in the mass of people as well. The show started at 10:30 with New York's BOWERY ELETRIC taking the stage. If I would have closed my eyes, I could have imagined that SLOWDIVE reformed. Not that this is a bad thing, because it wasn't. Although they had a heavy SLOWDIVE influence, they had molded the wave of sound into their own. Very beautiful drones of ambient, atmosphereic guitar and female and male vocals. I picked up their disc and though I haven't listened to it the whole way through yet, I did hear parts this morning and it is well worth picking up. cindYtalk took the stage at 12:00am. Gordon slowly walked out and took his place centre stage. He pluged in his mike which was, if I'm not mistaken, a very expencive mike that opera singers use. He began with THE FIRST TIME EVER. Unfortunatly, some asshole had to yell some off colour remark towards Gordon at which he abruptly halted his vocals and told him to "Fuck off." He began again to only be stopped again by a simlar comment. Gordon demanded "Fucking respect," and instantly broke into a blistering rendition of "Muster" that was loaded with enough power to make your ears bleed. The entire set consisted of new material aside from "PRINCE OF LIES", "MUSTER", and "THE FIRST TIME EVER..." The set concluded with a track called "PUSSYENVY" which is from Gordon's "techno" side project. I can pronounce the name but won't attempt to spell it. It should be out by the end of the month. After the show I got a chance to meet the man behind the band I have followed for the last 8-9 years, and he is the most wonderful person to talk to. Very intelligent and articulate. I got my copy of WAPPENSHAW and CAMOUFLAGE HEART signed and we talked for a bit. Then I thanked him for the best 45 minute that I can remember in a long time. Here is the set list from the show: 1. First Time Ever... 2. Muster 3. Canto 4. By This River 5. Story Of My Cunt 6. Dirty Beautiful Dirty 7. Prince Of Lies 8. Anti-Nihil 9. On Wings Of Snow 10. Cool Cool Medusa 11. Save Abe 12. Honey 13. Pussyenvy Cheers to all, Alfred Douglas (Jason Sloan)

Yep!

        Those boys and girl are from Tucson, Arizona--my home town.  The
band consists of Howie and his ex-wife (forgot her name) as the nucleus
of the band.  They have rotated many people through the band in their constant
evolution.  They are amazing musicians--Howie on guitar and keyboards (and
whatever needs to be played) and his ex-wife on bass.  I saw them over
Christmas, and was blown away watching Howie switch between his Gibson hollow
body and the Fender Rhodes keyboard for whole songs.
        They are much lauded in Europe--particularly Germany, and by select
few music circles here in the U.S.  They are quite visionary and
experimental--sometimes esoteric to smaller minds.
        They used to be called Giant Sandworms until some other band across
the country threatened to sue!  Overall consider yourself cool for
appreciating them, because I still don't own an album by them.  I just see
them live once in blue desert moon (and an occasional L.A. one too).
