        Hey, anyone heard of this release?  I discovered it while sifting
through a pile o' CD's at the Station.  It has a Dead Can Dance track,
which makes this post appropriate to tha list.  It's "The Host of
Seraphim."  It also has tracks from The Residents, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Ravi
Shankar, Popol Vuh, and others.  It's on Milan Entertainment.  Only
listened to the DCD and the Residnts, and those were pretty cool.
Anyway, just wonderin'.

                                       Much Love,
                                                Chris.

My recollection is that it is on some others, but in a very distorted form.
For years, I couldn't work out what the labels in the middle of the vinyl
were portraying but then some of them became clear when I saw an
undistorted version.

sorry to all, but i got an offer about three seconds after posting that i
had it for sale!  the reason i offered it in the first place was so that
somebody who wanted it way more than i could enjoy it.  being an insatiable
collector myself, i know how it feels.  i also know about exploitation,
and NOBODY should be selling a free cd for 43 dollars.  I kinda feel bad
about asking 20, but with postage, the profits will allow me to buy
something else (like a promo copy of the new cocteau twins cd)...

in a perfect world, 4ad wouldnt make so few copies of such cool shit.

Hei beibii-tachi.  From my currently Japan-ed friend:

   "Today I went to an elementary school.  Was through Obirin. Had fun, was
 asked alot of questions about america, ate lunch, got a "thank you" poster.
   I came home and found a package I've been waiting for: from the
 director of that show I appeared in; he told me his younger brother
 performs noise; I didn't really believe him.  But didn't turn down his
 offer to send a CD or two.  It came today.  CD, two LPs, 3 books.  The
 guy is also an artist; one book is a children's book, one I can't figure
 out (It's all in sanscrit), one is a book called "diary in [mongolia?]".
 The CD is unbelievable.  The spine looks like this
***     (oh, first, the bro's name is Ohtake Shinro)     ***

 PIPELINE 24 smash hits by 24 puzzle punk bands shinro ohtake  uea
                                                yamantake eye

 The guy's brother got together with Y.Eye and 'covered' songs by 24 minor
 bands (including ganja farmers).  "Covered" because I *doubt* the
 originals sounded like this. [?]  ......"

So I'm gonna send my friend a postcard tomorrow begging for air and some
more info.  Did we already cover this here?  Shinro Ohtake, noise man?
Crazy coincidence, I guess.  Actually, my friend and I seem to run into
a lot of those...


Number two:
Has anyone considered creating an ESP- or Time Stereo- or Warren Defever-
or all three mailing & discussion list?  I think it would be a good idea...
What do *you* think?

I didn't get where I am today by liking bad heavy metal, Reggie.  As
someone else says, "Shea" is much better than "Schism", the HM guitar
has been subdued slightly.  Even "Schism", I thought, had a couple of
cracking songs on it, though the performance damaged them.  Friday's
"Independent" had a piece about Vaughan Oliver, in which he said he's
still a fan of everything the label puts out.

It's out on CD, Elektra I think, with a couple of extra songs (still
only half an hour or so long).  The notes to John Cale's "Seducing Down
the Door" compilation say that the unusual sound was achieved by
recording the songs, and then removing most of the instrumentation, so
the melodies are implied rather than audible (I think that's a fair
summary, from memory).  I keep meaning to buy "Desertshore", the other
album Cale recorded with Nico.  If you ever see the Peel session which
was released a few years ago, buy it - just Nico and her harmonium,
utterly gorgeous.

They are now a chart act here in the UK, and for the first time since
shoegazing they are fashionable - the music press has decided their new
stuff is "Britpop" (it sounds pretty similar to "Split" to me, but
there you go).  And 4AD have apparently decided to go for a large
publicity campaign this time.

I think the big difference is that Lush are playing the success game,
Coil aren't - I'd be interested to know how much money Coil make from
their music relative to Lush.  They do quite a lot of film work, don't
they?  Lush seem fairly happy with their lot, and as indie bands go they
are near the top of the pile - there's a trap which a lot of indie bands
fall into (KoD, or That Petrol Emotion, or The Family Cat) where they
have their first few months of boosting by the music press, and then
even though they get better they aren't hip any more.  The Family Cat
made an absolutely stunning final album ("Magic Happens"), but by that
time most people just weren't interested any more because they didn't
fit into a scene.

I'm taking some time off work to go to as many of the

The downside of this means that I'll have to temporarily unsubscribe

becoming clogged up with list messages!

Of course the upside is that I'll be resubscribing on
Monday 11th, when I'll post my review of the first four dates,
(Buckley, Liverpool, Leeds and Sheffield).  I'll try to make it an
entertaining read!

I'll be hitch-hiking, so wish me luck!

keeping discussion of ESP/HNIA/WD within the confines of a strictly

this list happily accepts discussion of all 4AD related music and

discussion here.

as my own tastes tend more toward the HNIA/DCD/TMC/CT's than toward the
lush/pixies/redhousepainters/ end of 4AD, the frequent ESP and Warren

        If you like Harold Budd then you might want to pick up some Gavin
   Bryars cds.  The newest cd, which is all devoted to the sinking of the
Titanic is so eerie as he takes the depths of the water into

The problem is - I don't like sifting through 40 Lush posts each day.
I'm planning to unsubscribe soon, but I figured if we could arrange
a separate list for that specific area(s), I'd still be able to get the
info I need.  I'm sure there are other folks out there who'd be
interested, possibly folks who aren't on this list (I know there are a
few...).  Besides, I don't really consider Time Stereo noise stuff
and Warren-related projects such as that Trance thing to be any more on
subject here than, say, Portishead and Projekt rekords.

Well, the more subjects this list covers, the less specialized it
becomes.  I'd rather subscribe to a list that gives me ~5 messages a week
of useful information than one that gives me 50 a day regarding anything
and everything...  At any rate, crossposting is still possible.

Sorry if I sound bitchy; I'm not really.

At the end of 1981, 4AD released the Japanese vinyl compilation "Natures

All of the vinyl releases that I have from 1982 feature the wrestling
ladies...The Birthday Party's "Drunk on the Pope's Blood", In Camera's "Fin",
Cocteau Twins' "Lullabies" plus the aforementioned Modern English 12"...
 From what I've collected so far, the center labels changed each year from

Who does?  (... and i even like Lush)  It's not that tough to delete them
though.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way (in my limited experience).  Some ppl
feel obliged to post to a list just because it's a bit dead lately.  Instead of
getting 5 messages a day of useful information you get about 30 a day comprised
of 3 useful posts and 27 pieces of banter.  I think the large size of this list
keeps the members dedicated (reading/deleting 50 msgs a day can take SOME
effort) and imposes a "threshold of usefulness" on SOME of us.  The vague idea
that we ought to post ONLY when we have something that is worth reading.  It's
the hard to categorize areas and broad perspective of the listmembers that makes
4AD-L so unique.  Divide it up and it will disappear.

True.  In fact, despite what i just said, i think it might even work out well
*IF* someone was dedicated enough to forward the *useful* information to 4AD-L
and leave all the good times/cookies/requests-for-Time-Stereo's-address over on
the other list.

It's true that the best 4AD-related tour of 95 was Throwing Muses, and the
most anticipated 4AD release of 1996 is the new His Name Is Alive, but allow
me to provide the actual correct answers to the following categories:

BEST ALBUM ON 4AD EVER
23-This Mortal Coil-Blood (23)

MOST MISSED FORMER 4AD ARTIST
23-Pale Saints (original line-up) (23)

Thankyou.

Subject: New Lush is really really disapointing


I must say, I picked up the new lush today and it is really the worst
they've ever done. The ballads like "Olimpia" and "Papasan" just don't
work. Remember how everyone was saying how bad Single Girl was, well
it's one of the best songs on the album.

    There are, however, some OK songs "Ladykillers" and "Lastnight" but
other than that.....

 The lyrics on this one just aren't there. They buchered "Childcatcher"
and Lovelife really is remenisint of Elastica. I did notice that on
emma's songs, that there are some effects, at least we can rely on
Emma! I think it was Miki's idea to go punk and Emma is just playing
along.

    I would really like to see them go their own seprate ways if thats
what it takes to get the spacey effects back. If Emma goes her own way
we'll get Spacey, Miki and Chris' band will probably be punk. I know
I've said that before but its a really viable prediction IMO.

    Recap:
Lovelife is Bad
Lush will break up
Miki and Chris = Punk band
Emma = Spooky type band
Phil = Will get a termanal illness and spend the rest of his days with
the mother of the british kindom, Queen Elizibeth
