Just DLed the previews of the new Throwing Muses material from the
Throwing Music homepage at http://www.mmaweb.com/throwingmusic/. Fuck!!
I can't wait for "Limbo" to come out!!! The snippet of "Ruthie's
Knocking" made me wet myself.
As I write this, there are 3 "Limbo" song previews. They plan to add a
new one each day for each song. Spiffy keen idea, eh?

Someone was asking about the new Lida Husik & Beaumont Hannant album. The
'band' name is Husikesque and the title is 'Green Blue Fire'.
Considering that the collaboration is a case of two artists venturing out of
their 'genres' it works amazingly well. Actually, it's a really good album
regardless. Lida has 4 solo albums (3 on Shimmy Disc, her last 'Joyride' was
on Caroline) and Beaumont Hannant, known basically as an 'ambient-techno'
artist, has a substantial body of work as well. Beaumont Hannant is known in
the UK music press as someone who flouts the conventions and limitations of
the genre and this album's no exception.
Lida's music and lyrics often have a dark tone to them, and this gets offset
by Beaumont's more lighthearted bleepy hums and whirrs. The overall effect is
sort of 'triphoppy', defying ambient's boundaries by having vocals and song
structures, but Lida's never been a conventional singer-songwriter either, and
the percussive electronics provide a nice underpinning. The 'Evening at the
Grange' ep reminded me a bit of the Magnetic Fields with Lida's desultory alto
in lieu of Susan Anway, while the Husikesque album is a bit more dubby and
percussive with less guitar and e-bow. Along with Seefeel, their collaboration
is one of the missing links between guitar-based and electronic music,
incorporating the best elements of each.
As for other stuff they've done, I highly recommend tracking down the
harder-to-find but even more worthwhile "Your Bag" by Lida and "Sculptured" by
Beaumont. "Sculptured" is a compilation of sorts, with a variety of tracks
that Beaumont did in collaboration with other artists. Lida sings on three
songs that are absolutely amazing, and the rest of the album is really good as
well.

Just have to second the vote for Peng! as best Stereolab album, even better
than Switched On (despite that album's amazing pop moments). Stereolab are
really more of a singles band, and their lps are kind of spotty, but Peng is
their first and best. Plus, it has "Super Falling Star" which is probably my
favorite song by them.
Another note for Stereolab fans on the West Coast... get to the show early and
don't miss Prolapse! They've just finished touring Europe with Stereolab and
Sonic Youth and that's probably a good reference point, as are Quickspace
Supersport (post-Faith Healers) who they play with a lot. They have two
vocalists - Mick the ranter with the thick Scottish accent and Linda who
contributes the melodic babas. Imagine Laetitia Sadier and Black Francis
having a knock-down, drag out fight, which they actually do in the song "Tina,
This is Matthew Stone" (Prolapse, not Laetitia & Frank) and you begin to get
the idea. They rock -and- they groove, and if I could afford a plane ticket to
California, I'd be a groupie. I'm really upset they're only touring the West
Coast and trying to take consolation in the fact that at least others will get
to experience the wonder that is Prolapse, so do me a personal favor and go
see them. Just don't tell me how good they were. I may have to kill you. Their
2nd album 'Backsaturday' is out now on Big Cat (US) and their first 'Pointless
Walks to Dismal Places' has hardly left my CD player in the past year.

Yes, 'fraid so. One flexidisc only.
No lyrical vocals either, just Ooooohs Aaahhhs and samples from a

To all the other list members who purchased one of these little devils,
here's a bit of news I got directly from v23 as to the status of the ltd.
"...Rimy..." is response to a fax I had sent to 4AD UK mail order:
>
>Hello from Timothy at v23. Unfortunately for all of you, Keren at Mail Order
>has left 4AD last week, and so, being the 'new boy' (and American to boot),
>I've been given the unenviable job of answering all the "Rimy River"
>enquiries.
>These are understandably starting to pour in, so I'd be very much obliged if
>you'd pass this info on to list members.
>
>There has been yet another delay in the Limited Edition "Rimy River".
>Basically
>what has happened is that our bookbinder, who is putting the catalogues
>together by hand, mistakenly cropped about one-third of the pages two inches
>smaller than the rest of the book. They are insured against such disasters
>and
>so came up with the money to reprint those pages that were miscropped.
>However,
>keeping in mind (a) trying to get money from an insurance agency and (b)
>reprinting a 7-color job both take time, we were unfortunately unable to
meet
>
>our deadline. The copy seen at the "Is Minty A Man?" exhibition in Newcastle
>was the only copy yet produced. We had hoped to have ten done by then to
>sell,
>but just barely got that one.
>
>Understandably, since you've been charged for the book already, you're

>to wonder where on earth it is. The new deadline to start mailing the
limited

doing

>everything in our power to speed things along. As for your suggestion,
James,

>that we include some posters from "Minty" as thanks for your patience, I
>think
>there's no question that they are deserved on all your parts, and I will
>check
>with the warehouse to see if we have enough to include one with everyone's
>"Rimy".
>
>In closing, let me add that, while the constant waiting can be annoying (I
>waited a whole year once to get a David Sylvian poster from UK Mail Order,
>but
>that's another story) the finished product is absolutely amazing, and I'm
>sure
>you will all feel that the long wait has been justified.
>
>If there are any more delays forthcoming (god forbid), I'll send another
>E-mail
>to keep you all up to date.

>
> On behalf of all of us, our most sincere apologies for this unforseeable

well there it is folks, I'll keep you all aprised of any further memo's or

Update on "This Rimy River" Limited Edition
Apologies to those of you who've ordered the limited edition, and are
wondering where on earth it is. There has been a small setback at the
binding stage, which has since been remedied, and we're shooting for a
mail-out date of end-of-April.
I'll post further notices if any other delays seem imminent.
Let's hope not, eh?

Yes, I agree. I wouldn't use the forementioned two albums as a starting
point, I would take them to be the prime essence of what StereoLab is all
about. If you only like to dance to albums, well...stick to the top 40
stuff and stir clear of Stereolab in general.
Happy whatever holiday it is this week.

You better subscribe to the list, because then you would have known this:
the 'Spiritchaser' album of Dead Can dance is scheduled to be released in
UK and Europe: june 3rd, in the United States: june 11th.
But since you don't subscribe, you'll never know.
Cheerio,

I'm a big P5 fan. If you like P5, try early Everything But the Girl
albums like Eden or Everything But the Girl. Also, Combustible Edison is
in the same vein, and there's a great new band called The Legendary Jim
Ruiz Group that all P5 fans should definitely hear.
Let me know if anyone knows of anything in this jazzy retro pop genre
that I might like. Thanks

hey, has anyone heard anything about an Underworld remix of the
Everything But The Girl song "Two Star"? I heard Ben and Tracy mention
in an interview that Underworld would do an ambient remix of this song,
the best off of _Amplified Heart_, and would love to get a hold of a copy
of it. Anyone? Help please!

I bought my tickets for the May 2nd show. Can't wait. I saw them twice
last time around (Mercury Lounge & The Manhattan Ballroom) and both times
where phenomenal. There are still tix left, but who knows with all the
radio play (I heard it on the radio 3x in Salt Lake City of all places)
they could get snatched up by all the alternative wannabes about these days.
2nd, I was trying to digest Aphex Twin's "Ventolin" this weekend and
decided that if music was visual, he would be the Brothers Quay of
music. I think it would be great if they did a collaborative effort, but
aside from this email, I don't know if this has crossed anyone else's
mind. Opinions?
3rd, any news of a The The tour? While skeptical at first, I truly think
Hanky Panky is a GREAT album.
One last note. I was at the Princeton Record Exchange today
(Princeton, NJ by the Univ.) and they still are one of the best
records store around. So if you are having a hard time tracking down
that single or other thing, give them a call (don't have the number handy
though).

Wow! I'd love to get a hold of that also. I can't even track
down the drums and bass remixes of "Walking Wounded" though announced on
the list a few weeks ago. None of the internet music stores have it and
my local stores don't.
Arrrrhhhhh.
