Jens wrote... >"Beautiful Pigeon" single > Don't have this one. The A-side is on "Eva Luna". I do. And it's a strange Moonshake release. The A-side is just one of the many (all, really) great tracks on "Eva Luna" But the two B-sides, "beeside" (ha!) and "home survival kit" are unusual for the band. The writing credits are to "Callahan/Fiedler" - rare collaborative material! Both songs show Moonshake in surprisingly subdued form. Less angular and violent than anything on "Eva Luna". There are lyrics for all three tracks, but "beeside" sounds like an instrumental. If the fact that it's a Moonshake release doesn't already make it worth finding, the artwork (all their records have great artwork full of obscure references and puzzling icon-like pictures) does. Moonshake(Mach II)'s "The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow" shouldn't be overlooked just because of Fiedler's flashier Laika work. It's an extremely strong album. It's also an incredibly accomplished piece of guitarless-free dub-sampler based postrock. The newest Moonshake single, "Cranes", is also superb. Dave Callahan's post-Fiedler output has been just as consistently brilliant. And, despite what everyone else says, I think he has a terrific voice (for his particular style of music). But it IS an acquired taste. Hope this was of some help - and not just a waste of space. GuerillaG (who still finds time for those early Cocteau albums between breakbeat-binges...)
In case anyone's interested, there's an interview with Robin in April's 'Guitar Player' magazine. It's for those who dare to delve into the technical aspects of the Twins. He speaks mostly of the various equipment and the different effects used throughout the years. My Favorite Twins song to dance to (in my living room, that is): Carolyn's Fingers. I cannot listen to that song without getting up and making a fool of myself. It 's rather intoxicating! Also, I had a craving to dig up and wipe the dust off of my copy of 'Pagan Tango' (1991) by Chris and Cosey. Now I am listening to it. I forgot how great it was. It's sort of like Coil meets Xymox. Her voice is beautifully dark and eerie. I wonder if they're still together, hmmm... And... This has been mentioned in the Twins' Fan Forum at their site, I'm surprised no one on this list brought it up. What's up with that tunnel-effect on Alanis' vocals in her single "Ironic"? You know--the part that goes "(something, something)...everything blows up in your faaaayyyaaace..." It's is SOOOOO Cocteau Twins. Any fan that has heard that song is sure to recognize it. (Please don't think that I am in any way, shape, or form--a fan of Alanis.) Course this all brings me back to the article in 'Guitar Player': mid-80's albums?" OK, Robin, whatever you say but I would think that possessive fans such as myself would beg to differ. Just some random thoughts, Lysa

i just got a copy of Rachel's 'music for egon schiele' and i must say it's quite amazing. i was wondering how this compares with the 'handwriting' cd. i understand the previous cd involves many more musicians. if i like the new one, is it likely that i will like the other? -bruce ------------------------------------------------------------ | C is for CLARA who wasted away | ------------------------------------------------------------ | bruce levenstein brucel@interramp.com | ------------------------------------------------------------
Starbuck's has an awful lot of 4AD/thislisty stuff on their in-store tapes. I've lost track of all the things I've heard -- Cocteau Twins (something from "Treasure" in addition to the expected 4CC stuff), Mojave 3, Belly, Innocence Mission, Sundays ... no MBV or ESP Beetles, though. __________ __________________ Jens Alfke jens@mooseyard.com Some outside and some indoors-- Oh my oh my oh dinosaurs ________________________ http://www.mooseyard.com

The seattle show last night was great! First, let me start at the beginning, the Mojave3 free acoustic set at Orpheum records. Well they started late due to the lack of a bottle opener and, more importantly, Rachel. In the meantime i met a fellow listie who somehow pieced together that since i was at the Mark Kozelek gig and Mojave 3 that i must be on 4AD-L (i also met an old high school comrad i haven't seen for > 10 yrs). Then just Neil and the other guitarist came out to do a few songs without Rachel!?! They were okay and all but it's not the same w/o Rachel. The concert: Got there early enough to get a free tape. Scheer started right on time and there were only about 30 ppl in the whole room. The songs were better than i thought they would be and i actually enjoyed it (but not to the point where i'd *buy* anything by them) so it was a decent way to pass the time till Mojave3 came on. Mojave3 with the full band (and Rachel) was MUCH better than their earlier 2/5ths attempt. In fact, it was GREAT. The played mostly just stuff off the album with a few new songs and one Dylan cover (Queen Jane). Mind you, if you're not already convinced of the beauty of Mojave3 you'll never be converted by their stage performance. These people look like they move at a slightly faster speed than the indiginous seattle slugs. Rachel looked completely bummed and just the sort of person who would write such rainy day songs. BUT we did get a glimpse into something beyond the morose exterior because the two LOUD guys in front of me went from being really into the band to talking loudly at each other during the most quiet songs (in the front row!). It brought several smiles to Rachel's lips and several puzzled looks too (respectively) as she tried to figure these two out. LUSH played a really tight set. By the time they came on the room was respectfully full and the crowd was ready for them. I was lucky enough to be in the small dancey section of the crowd where we were all dancing through the whole concert but i think that most of the crowd was also quite into the band. They played several older songs (to great applause) which were a real treat and contrary to the vancouver opinion i thought the songs off the new album were made *more* enjoyable in the live setting. So the moral of the story is... go to this concert. All three bands were as good as or better than i expected and i'm going to listen to my free tape now. -cz
How is it done?
If you like Throwing Muses you really should check this site out: (http://www.mmaweb.com/throwingmusic) The wave samples of the Muses new album 'Limbo' are amazing. There is also a message board on their web site and some pictures and links too. John

I've only discovered Stereolab in the last couple of months but I've already pic ed up five of their records. I guess I really like them. My favorite is 'Refried Ec oplasm' which I think is a collection of singles and b-sides. The seventh track 'Eloge D eros' is worth the price of the record alone and there are many other really good song on that album as well. 'Mars Audiac Quintet' is also a good album. John
I was meandering around the local Tower last night, only to discover that Cherry Red records (or rekids, whatever) had reissued Eyeless in Gaza's "Drumming the Beating Heart"(!). Not only that, it was bundled (on 1 CD) with "Pale Hands I Loved So Well". For those unfamilair, EiG is an English (?) band made up of Martin Bates and Peter Becker, who appear ca. 1980. They were quite experimental in the beginning, and I think anyone who likes early 4AD would like early EiG. The DtBH/PHILSW CD was only $20.99 (on import), so I bought it. I was somewhat disappointed to find that the mastering on this CD was some of the worst I'd ever heard. DtBH survives o.k., but there is some distortion (the unintentional kind) and a lot of hiss. DtBH was released in 1981, so maybe the master tapes have deteriorated (shrug)? PHILSW, however, was mastered to the CD at a higher level (louder) than DtBH, so here the distortion is _very_ noticeable. PHILSW, was recorded the year before DtBH, and is mostly instrumental. It also features a track called "Pale Saints". Can anyone verify that this is where Ian et al. got the name from? Listening to this CD on my boombox while cleaning the apartment today alleviated the distraction of all the distortion for the most part (compared to headphones), but I thought I would warn any of you contemplating this purchase. On the CT/Cure thread: I seems to me that "Garlands" borrows quite a bit from early Cure stuff. Anyone agree? The Cocteaux didn't really move into a territory that was all their own until "Head over Heels". Tasting the air that you'd much rather kiss... Martin mahoyt@uci.edu
from what I've been hearing of the 2 shows so far in Vancouver and Seattle, it has only been the 3 headlining bands playing... i thought there was to be appearances by lisa germano, hnia (i know they'll be at the detroit and chicago shows) and a rumor the brendan perry would make an surprise appearance at one or two shows as well. so basically, what gives??? has anyone else heard anything solid as far as these or any other 'guest' opening bands playing the StP tour?? -Blu

The Cocteaux didn't really move into > a territory that was all their own until "Head over Heels". As I believe I've stated before, I would say that CT were more influenced by Siouxsie; furthermore, I think that the Cure were highly influenced by Siouxsie as well. moran@hal-pc.org
