There is a special term for what you inquire in Linguistics, but I'm really
too depressed to look it up in my old,dust Lingy books. Red House
Painters= Painters who paint red houses or Painters who are Red and paint
houses or Painters who paint Houses red.
You figure out the rest.

I know there are a bunch of DJs on this list, so
what I'd like to do is compile a list of who's who,
what kind of show you have, what you play, and so on.
Even if you've written to me before, please do so again
so I can update my mailing list.
Please respond only to my personal e-mail address and
be sure to include your mailing address.
Thanks,

Judging from "Single Girl", this will hopefully be the LAST 4AD effort by
Lush...any takers?

Finally bought a used copy of Sheer's self-titled new album. Wait a little
more, pay a little less... and thank God I did. The sound is general 4AD
guitar swirls, yet powerful enough to catch your attention and be a
contender for power-chords weekly. My only bone with this band is its
patented ripoff of The Breeders. As you all know, I hate Ivo for his
recent placement/displacement of new 4AD bands, especially RHP. Here, Ivo
must take responsibility for not changing the sound of Sheer enough to
invoke a "new" band sound to them. Instead, we receive a clone of once was
and already done ala Da Breeders. I give Sheer 3 out of 5 stars. Over all
they Sheer sound good.

Thanks, Brant. Here goes the latest version of my list...
COLOURBOX Samples List v0.40
============================
Songs listed in album order. Albums listed in reverse cronological
order. This list is now kept at http://web.mit.edu/klund/www/cbox.txt.
Samples listed in order, but only for the first time they are used.
Times in brackets are the location of the sample in the source movie.
Please print this out, take it home, and compare it to what you hear.
If you can correct or identify any of the quotes, please send me email.
By the way, Westworld is a pretty good movie.
Can anybody help me get a tape of the songs I don't have so I can add
them to this list? (They are SEX GUN (with vocals), MANIC II, FAST
DUMP, TARANTULA, SHADOWS IN THE ROOM, and PHILIP GLASS.)

BEL CANTO APPEARS ON ECHOES
The Norwegian group, Bel Canto, will appear in a feature on
Echoes, the nightly music soundscape heard on over 130 radio
stations in the United States. The interview will air on
February 28th, and that following weekend on selected stations.
Bel Canto is Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen who came
together in Tromso, Norway, north of the Arctic circle.
They've created an ethereal brand of music that is sometimes
tribal, sometimes techno and often both. But it's all
centered by the amazing voice of Anneli Drecker. They have
four albums, "White Out Conditions", "Bird of Passage,"
"Shimmering, Warm & Bright" and coming on February 27th,
"The Magic Box." On Echoes, Anneli and Nils talk about
making music in the land of the Midnight Sun, and how recent
parenthood has changed their music on their latest CD.
Coming up in March, Bel Canto will be playing live in an
Echoes Living Room Concert. Exact date to be determined.

information, visit our website at

The EP in question is called 'Hibernation Shock,' and it will be released on
Farrago within the next two months. We're hashing out the details of
getting the sleeves printed, and that's the last hurdle before everything
goes to the pressing plant.
CD only, FYI.
Cheers,

PS. I concur with BiZ - "The Sun Always Changes My Mind" kicks major booty
over the Guernica album in its entirety.

A bit of trivia---
Before Michael Plaster started doing Soul Whirling Somewhere
he was in a band called Firecracker who did a cover of
His Name Is Alive's "There's Something Between Us...".
It's one of the very short songs on Home Is In Your Head,
but Firecracker extended it to several minutes with lyrics
supplied by Mr. Defever himself. This ended up on the 4AD
tribute we put out in 1993.

Belly stuff:

All the Belly stuff is in excellent shape... especially the UK eps. If
you're crazy and want to buy all of them at once (which sounds great to
me...) lemme know and maybe we can work out a deal.
If I can't get good bucks for this stuff, I'll probably keep it:
Slowdive - morningrise EP (new; not used)
Spiritualized CDs:
lazer guided melodies, US
pure phase, US
anyway that you want me / step into the breeze UK

Having read all this HNIA stuff for the past 4 days, I just had to run and
listen to the 3 of them. I bought Livonia and HIIYH when they came out (in
the US) in 1991. For the things i heard back then, It was supposed to be a
new kind of TMC... talk about a mislead!
To be honest neither one thilled me that much... apart from some tracks on
HIIYH. I completely disliked Livonia, It just sounded so pointless.
Now, 5 years later my opinions have (mostly) changed: I still think Livonia
is pointless, there=B4s no use in owning it (anyone wants to trade...US
version with the extra track); but HIIYH is an *EXCELLENT* disc (US
version). It sounds very coherent and very beautiful. I just love the noise
and then the softness of songs as 'Chances are we are mad'. It is, without a
doubt, the best of the 3. MBM is good (especially Blue Moon).
Thanks for for attention, I have to go clubbing tonite!
See Ya,

No. I think they will undoubtedly snap out of it, though I wonder whether
or not they will stay together. Both Emma and Miki can write tremendous
songs, and have been doing so for too long that they would both just
cease al of a sudden. I think it is something in the chemistry, or else
someone Got To Them. Whatever the case, this reminds me a lot of what
happened to Verve. If I had to predict, I'd say Lush will break apart,
Emma will start a new band which 4AD will sign and which will be good,
and Miki will have her own band, also very good but rejected by 4AD and
eventually she will flake out and stop releasing records for Sony,
Capitol, Caroline, or whomever.
e
I also don't think the album will be nearly as bad as the singles.

well first off, i should mention that their new material is a slight
departure from previous endeavours...
but here's a brief description of the tapes I have available:
A General letter sent to all interested in the Defever-fest tapes:
During the holiday season here in Detroit, Warren in his infinite genius
decided to throw a "noise festival" with a bunch of Michigan-noise bands ---
some of which he has ties to. Most of which are also on the Time Stereo
label which he dabbles in (his friend Davin and Kenny, both co-members of
Princess Dragon-Mom with Warren actually run it).
Anyhow, the fest spanned practically an entire week, and across 2 clubs. I
was fortunate enought to get the really good ones on 2 different nights on
tape... this is from I've heard from other list members anyway, and my own
personal view.
The first night featured and new Time Stereo band (relatively) called 'the
ohms' which is basically noise, and Monster Island which were surprisingly
good - hard to compare to anything though. That evening also produced Asha
Vida which I wasn't to impressed by but other list members seem to like them
alot...and finally 'ESP-Beetles' with Warren, Davin, and anotherfriend of
theirs who's name escapes me for the moment.
The next evening I taped, I arrived a little late (thanks to work) and just
caught the last 10 minutes of Astrobite (but not on tape)..they were so-so.
Same as Asha Vida...most other list members like it alot. The ones I did
catch on tape were Monaural...kind of a cross between Cocteau's and
ESP-Beetles...that's about the best comparison I can do now....they're noisy,
but with the dreamy effect. Then came (what I'm assuming was) ESP-Family. A
bunch of Warren's friends gathered on the stage and began playing
noise-schtuff while Davin hung an a tri-colored flag up behind them all
(which also appeared at the ESP-Beetles show) with "ESP" on it. It also
sounds strikingly similar to the ESP-Family tape. 10 minutes after they
began Karin stepped out and began whispering into the mic... and gradually
after a minute or 2 died and they left (except Karin) and then Warren and
Trey stepped out with one of the guys who had appeared in Monster Island the
week before..never got his name. 40 minutes of bliss let me tell you!!!!!!
They have quite a piece of work coming... all they played were new songs,
never once drifting back into the annals (sp?) of Livonia HIIYH or MbM.
I'm selling the tapes as:
Tape#1 "The Warren Special" (all the bands Warren appears in during the fest
- with the exception of PD-M that I missed due to illness)
side a: hisnameisalive (w/intro by ESP-Family)
side b: ESP-Beetles
Tape#2 "The first excursion" (the first night)
side a: the ohms
side b: Monster Island (with a split in the middle due to taope swapping,
but did it during a song break, so you won't miss anything)
Tape#3 "The first excursion" part deux
side a: asha vida
side b: ESP-Beetles
Tape#4 "The final experience"
side a: Monaural
side b: hisnameisalive (w/intro by ESP-Family)
I'm asking $7 for each tape ($2 for the tape -- a TDK HIGH-BIAS SA100 --- not
a cheapo Memorex, $1.50 mailing, $2 for Warren (I wouldn't jilt him, he
deserves it, besides he's a friend - and it makes all this legal!, $1.50 for
taking and hour-and-a-half to dub the tape and printing of cover for the tape
(nothing special mind you, but still it's better than the one you get with a
tape!)
Or if you choose, you can send your own tape and $5... all I ask is that the
tape you send is at least a 100min tape (50min each side) as some of the
bands performances run 45-47 minutes long.
I'm going to be honest with you all, these are NOT DAT quality recordings.
However, I have picked up boots copies of concerts on tape before at record
shows of DCD, the Cocteaux, etc. and I do think that the quality recording I
have is far better than the one you'll find at such shows.
Not to mention this will give you all a sneaky-peek 5 months (??) into the
future as to what the new hnia will sound like!!
as always, if interested in any of the tapes, please write me back via
private e-mail and not the list.

P.S. I just sent out the first tapes today, and postage is actually $1.74
for 1st class.... oh well...looks like i'm making only $1.25 for close to 2
hours work per tape....!!!! so as you can see, i'm not really making much on
the tapes at all. someone should really raise minimum wage!! ;) ah, for the
love of music!!

Lush are crap.
Single girl. Essentially a Billy Joel song, with an ugly, cheezy chorus
out of some song written for a seventies Neil Simon movie. It is played
in the style of the more obnoxious, less remembered Scene colleagues from
Lush's youth. There is an uninspired Mary Chain solo. The song sounds
like shit; much of the time you can't tell what the hell's happening.
Tinkerbell is not worth discussing, really. There's an ugly, repeating
recorder melody that belongs in some sixties folk music or in a really
bad Current 93 performance, a bassline that consists of two notes; it
switches between at random. There is no discernable vocal melody.
Outside World means don't give Lush an acoustic guitar. The result of
this mistake is a song with no soul or rhythm. As a song, it is as
predictable as they come, the vocals are off--as in off-pitch--and
there's another awful guitar solo. No wonder the British music press are
looking favorably upon this band again! In the end, what you have here
sounds like someone making fun of Wish-era Cure, and that result poisoned
by Lush's quirky chord changes which no longer have any character or
design and so sound more like Enya than Lush.
Cul de Sac sounds like Phillip King just doesn't get it. It's an ugly
instrumental that tries to mix lounge-jazzy dominant seventh shit with
muzak and dissonance and the mixture is horrid, lifeless, and stupid.
Laughable, really, but better than the previous two songs so give the guy
some credit for saving the single.
I thought someone said Chris Acland wrote a song for one of these eps?
Nope.
Single Girl. The exact same version, I guess. Did I mention that the
lyrics are embarrassing? "Don't wanna talk to myself again tonight," she
says. PLEASE. This entire set of singles is Lush talking to themselves,
in the most biblical sense of the expression. At least the track kind of
rocks and reminds me of Lush.
Pudding. Why name a song Pudding? I can think of better things to feed
these people. The song at least *sounds* good, but in its attempt to be
a cheeky country song while imitating previous Lush songs, it becomes
obnoxious. The singing is wrong again and the verse melody is this hokey,
high pitched cowboy stuff. Reminds me a little of Thanatos, actually.
Demystification is not a Lush song, but they did play it so I blame them
for it. Can you imagine the music of Phoebe from "Friends" adapted for a
silly Japanese powered-armor cartoon? Well there you go. It sounds
EXACTLY like that, and this is NOT a joke.
Shut Up suffers from easily the worst case of poor singing in the whole
batch--enough that I can't fathom how 4AD allowed this to be released.
For what it's worth, the song is a step or two better than anything else
here. The biggest problem with the track is again the undead guitar
strumming.
Please don't infer from the subject header that these singles are in any
way as good as Shining Road. The Cranes have taken a big fall but not
like this one. This single is a fucking disaster, I can't believe 4AD
would release something this awful even in this era of Ocean Beach and
Within the Toward, and I'm sure as hell not buying the album without
hearing it first. All the way through and some change. How thoroughly
depressing.

Looks like nobody provided you Paul with anything but discussion about
different funny scientific names.
OK, right now I don't have it nearby (a friend borrowed it quite a long
time ago actually) but I'd recommended it to all whom DCD-ish type of music
may concern. In fact, it's unlikely to be another DCD ripoff (like, say, Eden
- I have nothing against Eden though, mind you) as all musicians invloved
are to one or another degree Persian born people and hence inherited
great deal of skill in performing Persian folk music. There are almost
exclusively Persian instruments played (+guitar mebbe - I can't recall
exactly), but the album delivers quite modern sound. I can distinguish
pure folk and modern music with elements of folk, so there you'll find
not pure folk. It's by all means is pretty nice work, it bears many
memorable melodies and rich sound textures. I honestly recommend it to
all DCD fans, most likely you won't be disappointed. Back in '95 I even
managed to tape it and sent out to another 4ad listie, Boroda - perhaps
he could comment on it, too (he's been silent for quite a long time though,
seems to be dead busy).

Hi,

Paul wrote (and, hopefully, this time I might be of a little more use):
>In "His Name Is Alive", whose name is alive?
I always took it to be Jesus. My fading memory is trying to claim that
"His name is alive" is a stock religious phrase but I might just have
invented that.
>In "Throwing Muses", are the muses the throwers or the thrown?
I remember an interview with Kristin Hersh years back which suggested the
muses were being thrown. KH said that she the thought the name was a bit
arrogant and that really it should be "Thrown by Muses". The bit about
arrogance suggests that KH thinks she is doing the throwing?

I'm gonna have to come flat out and admit that it's just an irrational
prejudice I have. I'm not familiar with Wallace Stevens, but I'm sad to
say that a band called "Ode to Gromit" would probably stand a much better
chance of worming their way into my affections that the "The Sylow-Lagrange
All Stars".

I am waiting with dread for the "Mandelbrot Singers" (or did I already miss

Who, as far as I can tell, subverted it somewhat. Thus they are cool.

And that sounds like a cool name to me! Not too techhy obscure, you see.

You missed Luther Vandross (no punk he!). There is nothing remotely
rational or scientific about his inexplicable success.

I think you're right. Ultimately, there is only *one* culture. It can
just take quite a time for it to fuse together.
Thom S. Heileson added:

Proving my theory precisely, since "Silverchairs" were the early
"engineering breakthrough" prototype ejector seats (at least they might
have been).

did it start with poetry reading?

actually, chris acland DID write a song for single girl- it's called
"sweetie" and it's the b-side to the single girl 7". it's okay...
plus supposedly phil wrote another instrumental for an upcoming single.
i rather like the loungy tunes, they're better than well, i won't put
lush down but cul de sac is one of the cooler new tracks.

...finally breaking my list silence after a long break. anyway, the new
bel canto single:
well, i have to say, compared to this thing i'm absolutely in love with
the new lush single. this is more disappointing than anything i didn't
like all last year. i don't like the music too much, and i really can't
stand the vocals. i don't know what else to say; i can't even describe
how bad it is. '96's a bad year.
....anyway, does anybody want to trade me for this thing? i don't want it.
and oh, i've got the lush "last night" promo, and that song shows much
more promise than anything on the first single.

I'd like to thank Dmitri for the information on Axiom of Choice.Though
I enjoyed the discussion of scientific names, I'd almost given up
hope. The URL he gave (http://www.xdot25.com) is correct, and they
even have a couple of ( I thought, quite impressive) samples from the
album. The funniest thing is that their Director of Tehran Operations
has an account on America Online, the Great Satan of online services.
Anyway, I'm ordering the album so I'll post another review after I get

I couldn't understand why everyone was saying that Lush is now trying to
be Elastica, blah blah blah, until I heard Ladykillers.
Whether it sounds like Elastica or not is irrelevant. It is a great
song. It's classic. AND I'm glad it's a (kind of) different sound for
Lush.
BUT
If you listen to Last Night or either of the Single Girl eps, I doubt
you'll think THEY sound like Elastica songs.
This is just like when the Tipp City ep came out. Everyone said 'The
Amps suck' until they heard the album. Suddenly the biggest bashers were
now the biggest fans.
For those who say that Lush now sucks because you think they sound like
Elastica, I wonder how long it's gonna take you to eat crow once the
album is released.... huh?

Thanks, it really does make me wonder.
But i can't believe that he did NOT know that it was a stock
christian religious phrase. If he didn't know it originally, i'm sure he
found out rather quickly (perhaps even before getting signed). Makes me
wonder whether the christian connotation was the original reason for the
name but he had a change of heart and wanted to obfuscate the matter by
creating a new story (one that he may even stick to over an extended period
of time).
When i first saw Livonia by His Name is Alive i said, "Hmmm? Ivo
is releasing a christian band on 4AD?" And it was not until this thread
began that i thought it could be anything other than an affirmation of
faith (whether of a traditional sort or a unconventional type).

Ryko) and thought it had it's moments of greatness and a few lulls. It
wasn't until HiiYH that i realized the *GENIUS* of HNiA (i guess that is
the concensus amongst us HNiA devotees). Livonia seemed even better in
conjunction with HiiYH. The Dirt Eaters EP was a joy too but it was not
until MbM that they fell from grace in my eyes. MbM was such a huge let
down after HiiYH (sure it has a few gems but ... ). It seemed that they
began to embrace the true evil of "normalcy." Ack! I only hope the new
album brings them in a different direction.

OK I think I can help
In the beginning, there were the Pixies with (of course) Black Francis,
Kim Deal, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering. There were also the
Throwing Muses with David Narcizo, Kristen Hersh, and Tanya Donnely. It
was so for many moons. Kim Deal strated a band on the side (Breeders)
with (amongst others) Tanya Donnely. The Pixies broke up in 1991 (the
end of my world :)) and fragmented; the Breeders became the former Mrs. John
Murphy's full time side project (along with Kelly Deal); Black Francis
became Frank Black (Joey Santiago plays guitars on his albums) and David
Lovering now plays drums for Cracker. Tanya Donnely quit the Breeders
and Throwing Muses and started Belly. The Breeders put out 2 albums and
an EP before The Amps came to be (Kim Deal's side project band branching
off of the side project band branching off of the full-time Pixies). I
just heard about Solid State a couple of days ago, but that's Kelly
Deal's band. In other News, Throwing Muses are officially onlt Kristen
Hersh and David Narcizo, but Kristen Hersh has put out a fantastic solo
album, and a new one is in the works.
Am I pretty close?
Any mistakes are due to my not being omniscient. Sorry.

I have a prerelease copy of the whole Lovelife album, I'll put a review
on the list this week. (Also watch RAD Cyberzine
It's really not nearly as bad as everyone wants
to make it out to be. It's produced by Pete Bartlett (anybody heard of
him) and he had a large impact on their sound it seems. The vocals are
at the front of the mix, you can understand almost every word Miki says.
The album is called Lovelife, but it's more about being fed up with one's
crap lovelife. If this is what theirs is like, I'll stick with mine.
The theme that pops up in every song is "Men Suck." Rob Moore quotes
miki in the accompanying press release: "Most of the songs are about
telling blokes to f--k off."
It has a harder, rougher sound than anything else they've done. the
second track, Heavenly Nobodies, sounds like west coast punk. there's
also a rerecording of the Childcatcher with vocals you can sing along to.
It's different, but its damn good.
PS. RAD will also feature an Elysium interview soon (maybe today).

okay, so i've heard the new album...my conclusion is that it's nice,
good, it's still got the beautiful lush chord changes for which i fell in
love with them, but it's nothing comparable to old lush.
it's just different. they've been progressing gradually- this isn't a
new thing...
*ladykillers- good track, got that poppy punk rebel feel
*heavenly nobodies- awesome, also poppy with catchy chords
*500- lyrics don't seem too cool, but tune is catchy
*i've been here before- nice and pretty, with surprising horns at the end
which actually go nicely
*papasan- beautiful beautiful simple song with simple guitar arpeggios
*single girl- i love it, very catchy
*ciao!- catchy, but just not lush...took me a while on this one
*tra la la- alright, acousticky i believe
*last night- "the split song", kinda long and orchestrated sounds like
*runaway- catchy, but not as good as the other poppy songs on the album
*childcatcher- the select tape version is better i think
*olympia- i like this song, i don't know about others. it's got those
horns again
i like the singles alright..."tinkerbell" is so much better on volume
though, so beautiful. "cul de sac" is just beauty, it's awesome. the
acoustic ones remind me of "girl's world" and are alright...does anyone
know who wrote "demystification" coz i dont...
and has anyone seen the video for single girl?
i saw lush play on the 10th in weybridge england and they were really
good. some of the songs that i didn't like on the album sounded really
cool live, so i wonder if the mixing has anything to do with dissatisfaction.
they did lots of oldies which is good.

Nude Nudes (on Playtime) is the only Honeytongue release. The producer and
engineer, Audu Abaje, was a friend of mine back in the late 80s when he used to
put on hardcore shows on here in Manchester. (First saw NoMeansNo at one of his
shows) But I digress.
As far as I know, Pooka's '94 self-titled LP is their only one to date. No idea

It used to be that now and then Dave would get a little busy and not
answer as soon as you might like, but he seems to have a very efficient

Yes, and his prices are lower than most, you can count on him getting
rare shit when it comes out *and* for the most part telling you when it's
going to come out. Pre-orders are automated, he carries just about
everything--weird imports, the whole World Serpent thing, he has a
subscription service for Fax releases and actively seeks out rare Fax for
his customers, catalog always lists all the recent Heavenly Voices type
crap and stupid US indie garbage and whatever. Not a great source for
obscure idm but neither is anyone else.
Anyway, I add my recommendation.

Depends on which of those records you can stand; personally I can't see
any merit in Glyph whatsoever, so if YMMV you may want to reverse this
entire message and take the exact opposite of my advice. :)
Anyway, as I said, Glyph eats it, and you will also want to avoid
anything the man has released in the last few years: Through the Hill
(with Andy Partridge! bahahaha!!), Aqua which is kind of this stupid
"live" record he did. Harold Budd is kind of the Moby of the Eno camp; he
plays a tape and bangs on the piano with one finger.
It may sound like I don't like him; really, I am just mad at him for his
recent showing. She Is a Phantom, from a couple of years back, is very
good if weird and a little depressing. It is entirely acoustic and
performed by a small subbacultcha sort of ensemble. Very haunting stuff
and totally unlike his other work.
Well, except for some of By the Dawn's Early Light. There is some
similarity, but while Phantom has the claustrophobic atmosphere of a
party with too many people, Early Light has a sort of outdoor country
feel, ringing with history. Guitar and lots of viola; beautiful, but
repetitive--and, like Phantom and later works, it is full of his poetry.
Now, I kind of like the poems; they work on this and on Phantom while
they are very irritating on Glyph, largely because of the reading, I
think. That track where he starts shouting...and Through the Hill is just
a completely worthless album so no comment there. Point being if you
don't mind the poetry readings Early Light is a good use of them, and in
Phantom they are essential.
Before these, there was no poetry, and Budd was a better composer. The
Moon and the Melodies comes from the same period as Lovely Thunder, which
is his best album, and in fact Memory Gongs minus the guitar noise is on
there as a Budd-only composition, and is indicative of the rest of the
album. (Although most of it is more downbeat and slow. And better, if you
can believe that.)
The White Arcades, which came between Lovely Thunder and Early Light, is
arguably better than Thunder but for a few tracks which can be
irritating. Sometimes not, though, and sometimes it is my favorite Budd
work. It is colder and bleaker than Thunder, which is indeed quite cold
and quite bleak (although neither is minimalist, really; both are very
lush and full). It is very peaceful and nice sleep music, and not as
plodding as Thunder can occasionally strike me.
Going back to the early days, there is a self titled album which is out
of print and if you find a copy I will trade you the left side of my
brain for it. Then comes The Pavilion of Dreams, circa 1978, which is
acoustic and has harps and vibraphones and whatnot and lots of seventh
chords and has a syrupy feel. I can't listen to it, but I haven't got a
problem with it. 1981 saw The Serpent (In Quicksilver) which is very
short and very, very depressing. It combines elements present on Early
Light with the minimalist feel of his early work. It is as depressing as
anything Eno ever did in he late seventies. Music for Airports? Music for
Films? Forget it; this one is much worse. It's a great record, though.
Usually, because it is so short, it is included on one disc with his 1984
album Abandoned Cities. This contains two long drone pieces. One builds
up with drama and the other glides along at about the same level, but
both, which very minimal, develop nicely and have a lot to say and are
lovely music for sleeping or driving. (If you are the sort of person who
can drive to the same music you sleep to without falling asleep at the
wheel.) Another note here: I am in the market for a copy of either album
ALONE on a cd, not bundled with the other, and will trade the bundled
version for them if anyone sees them for sale.
On that note, there is also a track with Eugene Bowen on a comp called
Cold Blue, from 1986. I have never heard this and am looking for it. The
same goes for Music for Films III. What I have heard are two songs off
the Sub Rosa 1987 comp, and imho they are not worth buying the CD for.
They are some of his least interesting pieces.
This leaves the two collaborations with Brian Eno, which I think are some
of his best work. The first was Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror. This
is heavy on the piano but has a lot of atmosphere courtesy of Eno.
However, it is very light and airy, and may strike you as syrupy. I
reacted to it in that way for a long time, then came to appreciate it once
I noticed that it is actually very sinister despite this element.
The second of these collaborations was The Pearl, which I sometimes
consider Budd's best album overall. It is absolutely heart wrenchingly
gorgeous; while it is basically in the same style as Plateaux, it is more
full, heavier with atmospherics, and MUCH darker. And in its second half
it becomes darker still. Add to this the fact that it is very melodic and
you have an album that is as beautiful as Sleeps with the Fishes or
anything of that caliber. I recommend buying this first if you are going
to make a blind purchase. This or Lovely Thunder.
While I am at it, I have to plug Brian Eno's album The Shutov Assembly,
of which I just got a cassette for $3 :) and with which I am now madly in
love. It is however a little difficult. I was going to say The Pearl is
the best album released in 1984, but this wouldn't be true. Eno's solo
work Ambient 4: On Land is better than anything we are discussing here,
if perhaps a little difficult to get into.
I forgot to mention Budd did an album called Music for Three Pianos with
a couple other people whose names escape me. It is fairly minimal (and
could probably actually be played on one piano) but is quite good for him
in that period (1992 or thereabouts) and has no poetry or any of that. I
enjoy it, but it's not a great piece of work or anything.
So let me make you and the rest of these heathens a shopping list...
1. The Pearl
2. Lovely Thunder
3. Sleeps with the Fishes
4. On Land
5. The White Arcades
6. Music for Films
7. Hybrid
Hybrid is the first Michael Brook album, which I have recently
rediscovered and decided is wonderful, unlike the man's silly alternarokk
album for 4AD. Totally different, very ambient, very pretty.
I hope this is some help to you.

somebody recently posted a www URL where one could view the sleeve for
the ESP Continent cd. i kinda accidentally deleted the message, and
would appreciate a repost if possible (sorry, and thanks)
also, on an unrelated note, does anybody know what if any album eno

Excuse the jumble. There's even a lil Autechre blab in here.
Just picked up the soundtrack to Captive, circa 1986, which is by The
Edge and is not so hot really, but which features a nice little song by
Michael Brook, called Djinn. (Hey, isn't that a monster from Final
Fantasy 2?) It's short and not very eventful, but it's pretty and it's
like having an extra three minutes of Hybrid and the disc was $6 and The
Edge's stuff is ok so what the hell. :) Anyone know though why in the
actual movie credits listed in the insert (as opposed the album notes) he
is listed as Michael Berkeley? What is that all about? Hybrid came out a
year before, so it can't be that he changed his name. Or something?
What's up with Gun Sluts? I need a Matt Johnson fix. I was recently
struck by how pretty Jealous of Youth is and, not very acquainted at the
time with Solitude, was going nuts over where I had heard it before. Not
on Shades of Blue, which I've never seen. Has it appeared in another
form? For that matter, is any of Shades of Blue not included on Solitude?
Can someone post me a discography for The The of the last few years? I am
curious to know what of interest is on the videos, the bootleg that comes
with Dusk now that all the dedicated fans already BOUGHT the fucking
thing, and the b-sides to singles from that album as well as
Dis-infected. Help? Better yet, someone make me a tape. :)
Anyone notive that Jealous of Youth sounds a whole hell of a lot like the
Fetus song A Prayer for My Death?
DUH. You know what I went and left off my ol best-of-95 list? Michael
Gira's album Drainland. I don't know how I managed to do this but I am
very ashamed of myself for it. Getting back into it, I see it as a total
recovery from the mess we've seen since White Light from the Mouth of
Infinity. Although often ugly and violent, the album flows and is
beautiful. It glows all full of epiphany and redemption; the first song
is heartbreaking, the journey through the album is as tough as the
experiences that seem to have inspired it can hope to come across in
music, and the last track, Blind, is one of the best songs of last year
and perhaps the best song Gira has written, at least since White Light.
The whole thing is a hell of an album and I am still figuring out just
what I think of it, but it strikes me as a piece of introspection and an
almost cruel spiritual purge on the level of Pygmalion or Home Is in Your
Head. All that and it's got that epic quality of the best solo Gira work.
Big, big applause for this one, and on my list, if anyone didn't toss it
out, please stick it somewhere up in amongst Locust, the Aphex Twin, and
Lisa Gerrard. If not higher.
In other news, the recent Autechre album is not entirely as bad as I once
said it is, but it's not great either and this is not an apology. The ep
which preceded it, however--Anvil Vapre--I put this on the other day and
had to ask myself what in the name of God it was I saw in the thing. The
first song is great, but the rest is like huhhh? Maybe not. I dunno.
Got me a copy of Locust's album Weathered Well and am getting used to it.
It is NOT however as good or as disturbing or as sexy as Truth Is Born in
Arguments. Which is a god thing; it means he's getting better.
I don't know if I mentioned the Eno/Wobble album, but I picked this up
too and it is superb. Have I posted a review of this? My mind is all a
muddle.
The new Current 93 album is out! The new Current 93 album is out! I will
forward a review over from the WSD list if anyone would like to see
what's being said about it; it is supposedly much in the vein of Thunder
Perfect Mind and the Nature and Organisation album. Yay! :) Anyway, I
can't find it. If someone would be kind enough to pick this up for me, I
would really appreciate it and owe you a big favor.

I'm almost positive it's on the "Here Come the Warm Jets" album. It is
definitely on an album from the early 70s.

I was unsubscribed during last weekend, since it was a 4-day
weekend for me and I was away from net access, and I'm assuming that the
poll results (the ones for which the cutoff date was February 14) were
posted then. If anyone saved theirs, could you please forward it to me?
Thanks.

"We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that we strive to
strangle broods in the mind, and poisons us. The body sins once, and has
done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains
then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret. The
only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your
soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself,
with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful."
--Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
