The same three are playing in Seattle on May 5th at Moe's. $9 or $10,
I think.

Supposedly The Sea And Cake and Tortoise will be at Moe's later in the
month, as well. I think this will be the month that I finally destroy my
eardrums once and for all... lotsa good shows in Seattle.

'Stormhorse' is their best and try 'Koda'. I wonder how many people noticed
that a lot of the music/arrangements on 'Koda' is stolen from the soundtrack
to a 1965 black & white Italian movie called 'La Battaglia di Algeri' (The
Battle of Algiers), by director Gillo Pontecorvo. With this in mind the
liner notes on 'Koda' become rather funny!

Hi.  I'm pretty much just a lurker but I have come out of my hole to ask if
anyone has heard this band and if they could describe them for me.  For some
reason, I have the impression that they sound similar to the Cranes?  I'd
appreciate any info on this.

Also, can someone tell me how I can get the digest version of this list so my
uncle doesn't kill me for clogging his mailbox?

Thanks.

dare not start another "v23-ugh" thread, I'll admit that I go to my cds for
inspiration as much as to my Print and CA annuals.  Come on, admit it, I know
there are more of you out there... %)

No, actually that impression is way off the mark.  *Delerium* is the "ambient"
side project of the Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber who are also responsible for
*Front Line Assembly* (Industrial) and *Intermix* (techno).  Their albums range
from sparse ambient soundscapes without any vocals to  somewhat industrial
(Euphoric is like this if i remember correctly) to being techno version of the
band enigma (Flowers become screens, with Rose Chronicles vocalist).

I'd say they have a less dynamic more ambient or techno take on the SPK (Zahmia
Lehmani)/ Controlled Bleeding (Songs from the Ashes/Golgotha) kind of sound, if
that helps at all.

What are you on *one* other list I post at? For four or five weeks maybe.
Did you think I wasn't going to see this and respond to it, or are you
used to being around people who don't mind having their character
publicly questioned? The fact is that I post tamer reviews to
[email protected] for the simple reason that in that realm I DON'T
REALLY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Perhaps it is beyond you that
someone would choose his words carefully when he stands on shaky ground
and speak with conviction when he is confident.

I will grant that you are consistent; you offer unwanted advice to the
inhabitants of that list and treat them as your humble pupils just as
you do with subscribers here.

Fuckin A. In fact, it may interest some that not only did he make some
good points, but he may well have WON THE ARGUMENT--as I am giving this
Orbital stuff another chance, perhaps with my ears a little more open.
Imagine that! Someone may have actually changed someone else's mind!

Well, it seems at least one person on this list is a little disturbed by
my unprecedented wealth of idle time and my enormous record collection...

In answer to what you've said about your own reviews, all I can say is
if you aren't giving your 100% it doesn't show. A lot of people quote
that old bit about brevity being the soul of wit, and they flatter
themselves to presume it applies to their own brevity--but you point out
the virtues of a short and concise style better than Elvia ever could: by
demonstrating them. Anyway, thank you for your kind words and to everyone
who's written me privately about this stuff.

Me, I'm going to go look for my copy of Snivilisation now.

I'd *really* like to get a hold of this thing.  Anyone have it and want
to trade it; I have a good collection of 4AD compilations and some other
stuff.  If so, please contact me via private email: [email protected]

Yes, Delerium are the ambient side project of Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber.
There are many Delerium albums out there, most on the German label Dossier.
 The two most un-representative albums are Euphoric, which is really an EP
released on Third Mind, and Future Primitives, their most recent release.

Most albums are ambient soundscapes with a blip here and a bleep there --
similar to SPK Zahmia Lehmani, as cz mentioned.  I find them interesting
for a while, but it usually starts sounding the same about halfway through
the album.

Euphoric is not a bad intro to Delerium.  The first two songs are pretty
industro/techno.  The last two are closer to most of Delerium.  If you like
the first two songs and anything done by Enigma, buy Future Primitives.  If
you like the last two, try to find some of the earlier albums such as
Spheres or Stone Tower.  My fav is Syrophenikan, which has a bigger
emphasis on percussion and "tribal beats".

Hope this helps.

When I interviewed m7X a couple of years ago, I got the impression that the

There's a new Orb Peel sessions album out now - the first PS album was
excellent (early versions of "Ever Growing Pulsating Brain" and a couple
of other "Ultraworld" tracks), but this one smells a bit funny.  There's
a nice "OOBE", followed by the Stooges' "No Fun" (if you ever wondered
what a pair of stoned hippies covering Iggy would sound like, here it
is), and two tracks from "Orbus Terrarum" which are as formless and dull
as the album versions.  I *never* want to hear that Stooges cover ever
again - it sounds like Steve Hillage doing a poor Johnny Rotten
impersonation.  There ought to be a law against anyone trying to cover
anything from the first two Stooges albums (with the possible exception
of "We Will Fall") - the originals are just perfect.

Subject: Re: Rosewater Elizabeth+heavenside review


this tampa bay band's newest album "la petit morte" is stunning. it is a
complete work of art, as opposed to an album composed of ten or so songs.
from beginning to end, the music is seamless and lush. the female vocals
are really quite androgynous at times. at other times (when hitting the
high notes) the power of melissa's vocals fling you into bouts of
ecstasy. that this work will endure is indicated in that it takes a
couple of listens to fully appreciate the complexity-in-subtlety. this is
a mark of truly great albums. there aren't any obvious immediate
influences or comparisons, though the band own up to listening to their
fair share of cocteau twins records.
in a word: sublime
it's on 24 hour service station, whose address i dont have on me at the
moment. will post it later.


 i found this promo copy of a band called heavenside in some record store
for $4. i took a chance and was well rewarded. this is a most
giddines-inducing, accessible album. it's on primitech in california i
think. female vocals (of course) soar to great heights. the
instrumentation is nothing unusual, but is played so well and
dynamically. the songs are the kind that you can't get out of your head
until you listen to something else. very ethereal at times. again, there
are no immediate influences of note.
wow.

don't pass judgement on scheer until you've seen them live! it's clear
again what characteristics influence ivo's record releasing. scheer are
really quite amazing live. perhaps all the furor over scheer stems from
context. if you expect old-4ad, then they are way different and tend to
disappoint. if you don't have any expectations, then they are a
refreshing new sound: electric intensive rock, with unusual female
vocals. they definitely have a good synergy on stage, stemming perhaps
from the singer's urge to bop around. i believe that almost everyone from
every band was drunk last night.
mojave 3 were totally impressive. their sound was way fuller than on the
album and they actually "rocked out" a bit. the crowd was really into
them as opposed to what i've been reading from most of other listies
posts.
everyone was anxious to hear lush, but i dont' think they were too
anxious to play. all except the completely smashed miki. she too was
bopping around the stage, swilling corona between songs. they played a
an equal amount from each album.  songs i remember are:sweetness and
light, light from a dark star, hypocrite, single girl, ladykillers,
deluxe!, and an early single. they also played a nice 3song encore.
there was talk of liquorice playing, but i didn't see them. maybe they
played before scheer.
for those of you who were asking, the merchandise is as such: stp shirt
with shoe design in purple, stp with green cloud on white, green and red
lush shirts, maroon and something mojave 3 shirts, white scheer album
cover shirt (lovely, wear it to a hospital) all for $20 and a couple of
hats for $15.
i picked up some extra copies of the stp tape that i'd like to send to
those of you who can't see the show. all i ask is $1.50 for postage. i'll

        Tres cool name for an album.  To those who don't know "la petit morte"
is "the little death" - a French term for a sexual orgasm.

Subject: Confessions of a Lurker


Prepare to delurk,

     Well after years of quietly reading the many discussions on this
list, some brilliant & insightful, some humourous, some informative & some
just plain juvenile, I've decided to come out of the closet, so to speak.
I started reading 4AD-L some 8 years ago when I lived in The Netherlands.
I've since moved to Ireland and from there to the US and each time I've felt
it worth my while to re-subscribe to the List. My first listening experience
was Cocteau Twins "Treasure" and I was so impressed I began to delve further
into the music of this, to me at least, unknown label.

     I am indebted to many people on this list for their recommendations,
including Bark Psychosis and Autechre among others. In fact just recently I
read about The Cardigans and when I came across the CD "Life" in an import
bin a few days later I picked it up. What a find, thanks to whoever posted
that review. Concerning e's reviews. I say keep up the good work. I don't
always agree with, hell I don't always agree with myself, but I often find
them informative.

     Anyway the real reson I posted was because of the 4AD activity here
in the Bay Area during the last week. I went to the StP show at The Fillmore
on the 15th. Scheer were good, if not having an inspiring stage presence,
but I suppose they're still young. I enjoyed Mojave 3 but heard plenty of
"boring" comments from people near me. The venue was not suited to them, I'd
like to see them at the Great American Music Hall. Lush gave a good show and
I have to agree with the comment someone made that despite the difference in
style in the old and new material it felt right that the same band was
playing
it. As an aside I must say I felt quite old that night, the majority of the
audience seemed to be 17 year old schoolgirls (or were they just the ones I
noticed ?). Had they heard of Lush before Lovelife ? Who cares, everyone has
to start somewhere.

     Last night I saw The Amps at Slims. The show was opened by Imperial
Teen, a band I've never heard of. Two guys, two gals. They were ok although
the sound was a bit muddled. The Amps came on about 10:15 and played for
about an hour. Kim's voice was a bit shot, she blamed it on LA (I knew my
hatred of that city would one day be justified). They played most of the
Pacer stuff, some stuff I didn't recognise (could be new),"Fortunately Gone"
,a "Guided by Voices" cover and did one encore where they invited a friend
of theirs in the audience Karen ? on stage to do backing vocals. Kim said
that her sister, I presume Kelley, had obliged at the LA show but was gone
home. All in all a good show. There appeared to be an excellent rapport
between all band members and they looked like they enjoyed the show. One
tiny
negative point was one asshole in the crowd who insisted on moshing to most
everyones disapproval. He was so out of it I suspect substance abuse or else
BSE. Anyway he was removed from the place within a few minutes of the Amps
starting.

     So I got to see two good shows. I saw Gavin Friday (ex Virgin Prune)
a few weeks ago at the Great American Music Hall. He was touring to promote
his latest CD, "Shag Tobacco". I have only one word to describe him, Genius.
It was the best show I've seen in a long time. He has a magnificent stage
presence and I came away feeling like I'd been entertained. Maybe its the
age factor again, when I was young I entertained myself, now I'm old (32) I
expect others to entertain me. Gavin suggested he may be out this way again
in September and if so I'd recommend you get along to see him if he's in
your
vicinity. Btw "Shag Tobacco" is also a must (IMHO).

     Couple of other comments :

Scott, Mari, Brian said (paraphrased)

"Irish can't dance"

     Well I'm a born and bred Irishman and I can't dance so I guess he
must be correct. Depends on what you understand by the term dance though. I
bet he and Twyla Tharp would have extremely differing definitions (and both
would be right)

Jens, thanks for the KFJC recommendation. I've been living in the Valley for
over a year and become sick of Live 105, KOME, etc. KFJC is a breath of
fresh
air, can you say Eclectic.

Subject: Stereolab in Fullerton, CA


Last night was stereolab's first show of their tour. I really have not been
impressed with Empereo Tomato Ketchup. It really stalls and stops in
points. It rreally never flows together. In any case, the stuff from the
new record did not sound so hot live either. They did play some older
songs, "Ping Pong", "French Disko". By far the highlight was the 15
minute or so encore version of "Super Electric." Everyone must stay until
they finish that song. it is simply amazing. It does go on forever and
you think they are going to end a couple of times but stay for the whole
thing, it is just great. Prolapse were the opening act. They are really
prety good. worth watching. Their male singer may drive you nuts with his
pomposity, though.

Subject: Time Stereo Presents.../Velour 100 show


While making my weekly rounds amongst Ann Arbor yesterday, I saw a few ads
posted for two upcoming shows I thought some listies might be interested in:

The first~~~

Time Stereo Presents

"20th Century Guitar"
april28  1515 Broadway

time = 6 : 0 0 pm

Warren Defever b.1969 Livonia, MI
Davin Brainard b. 1969 Farmington Hills, MI
Mr and Mrs Velocity Hopkins b.1969 Midland, MI
                                           b. 1969 Albuquerque, NM
Harold Richardson b. 1967 Niskayuna, NY
Matt Rufino b.1965 Farmington Hills, MI
Dara Albro b.1969 Brooklyn, NY
John Defever b.1966 Fort Bend, IN
Dion Fischer b.1972 Mt. Clemens, MI
Geoff Walker b. 1972 Ann Arbor, MI
Matthew Smith b. 1964 Ann Arbor, MI


that's all the flyer sez,... me guesses it's some sort of gee-tar rawk fest.
 I haven't spoken to Davin lately so I'm not sure what's up.  Some of you may
recognize  Dara's name...  she's the one who appeared w/HNIA on the "All
Virgo's..." comp. and a co-member of the now defunct Dirteaters with Warren.
 She just recently moved back to Ann Arbor from NY,  and I believe this is
her first musical appearance in the Detroit-metro area...her work as New
Grape is incredible.  Dion Fischer may also ring a bell to some of you....
he's one of the frontmen for the Ohms (amazin' spacie noise schtuff) and also
a member of Godzuki (who just released their first CD "Trail of the Lonesome
Pine").

Also as mentioned, Velour 100 is having a show...on the same day as the Time
Stereo show!!!  egads....which to go to???...   life's little dilemma's~~~

the flyer's line-up shows:

velour100
joe christmas
fahrenheit 451

@the sugar shack
612 pearl 313.483.7607
sunday, april 28, 8:00pm
$3

so listies, which would you attend??

What is 'Agate Lines'?  I have 'Fragments of the Morning' and it was also
released in 1990 but on C'est La Mort Records.  'Fragments' is heavenly,
especially "Puzzle Boy".  I don't think they could have made a more perfect
song. Lynn Canfield's voice is surpassed by few in my opinion.  I prefer
Area to The Moon Seven Times though. With Area *the less is more* principle
is evident--it's pure and simplistic beauty.  I'll stop gushing now, but if
'Agate Lines' is similar to 'Fragments' then I'd probably like to get a hold
of it as well.
