4AD is full of surprises. That reason alone would keep me going as fan! But
of course, it's the music and Vaughan Oliver. I'm musically (and
artistically) more open-mined because of 4AD.

Try looking on Projekt compilations if you can get your hands on those. I
know lovesliescrushing appears on at least one Projekt comp (Beneath the Icy
Floe - 1995 Version One). That compilation only has one song by them
("Babysbreath"), but I find it gorgeous, almost worth the cost of the whole
CD for that one song! Good-luck. :)

Well, I happen to own this very record, and I'm not sure if this is a
joke or not!?! Anyway, these are *not* normal songs, these are just
basic "pure phase" tones in different frequencies, and each "track"
can be played at both 33 and 45 rpm, so that each track has 2
frequencies. It says on the label "Pure Phase Tones for DJ's", but
I'm not really sure what a DJ would want to do with that?!? I guess
this record can freak you out a bit when you're drunk or something

Here's my take:
Milk and Kisses is a wonderful album, and it seems a logical next
step from FCC. The thing that separates the two for me, is what makes
them appealing. I thought "Bluebeard" and "Summerhead" were wonderful
songs, and several other of the tracks had their moments, but FCC
didn't flow as an album perhaps should. Sure, the sound was
consistent, but the songwriting wasn't. Milk and Kisses on the other
hand, does successfully move from start to finish as a complete
album, with the sound and the songs being both interesting and well-
constructed. The only exception to this is the last two tracks,
"Treasure Hiding" and "Seekers who are Lovers." Througout the years,
the Cocteaus seem to make the last song of an album a song whose tone
and delivery scream "this is the end of the album!" "Treasure Hiding"
(which I think someone already likened to "Pur") does this well
enough, but it isn't the end of the album. But that's trivial in
light of the quality of the songs.
The other thing which occurs to me, is that I find it easily
compared to Treasure in form. It's almost as if this is what Treasure
would have sounded like after passing it through a "Cocteaus post-FCC"
filter (I know that's silly). There is something about Cocteaus and
the '90's which seems to equal "lite," or "pleasant." And I don't at
all mean this in a bad way, but even the gentlest moments on Treasure
("Amelia" for example) are quetly unsettling in that mid-80's Cocteau
sort of way. Perhaps it's the context; the songs pre and proceeding,
or maybe it's dark and subtle chordal and melodic embellishment which
was absent completely in FCC. Whatever the case, Milk and Kisses
seems to have merged the two styles effortlessly, bridging the gap
between what they were doing in 1984 and in 1993. With this in mind,
it's doubtful that a fan of any era-Cocteaus would dislike Milk and
Kisses; the sound is fresh albeit derivative, and the album is
challenging as well as listener-friendly.

When I got my copy of the album, I asked Liz whether that was her

So, it's not her.

OK, so when are the new Lush singles going to be
released? Track listing, anyone? I mean, they've already
got 14 b-sides out, and though the "Last Night" remixes
haven't been commercially released, are there any other
tracks that still haven't seen the light of day? I'm
betting there will be a few live cuts on them--maybe that
neato StP finale of "Ciao!" Oh, and no 7" release planned
like the last two singles?

Why do I feel no elation at this news. Is it because at least half a dozen
release dates have come and gone. I'll believe it when I have a copy in my mitts
(and even then I'll need some convincing). No offence BiZ, I'm not blaming the
messenger - and we have at least a title this time - but the first concrete
release date was March '95 (in a French rock mag).

Someone asked what the next single will be (to be released stateside)
off Milk&Kisses: It's "Violaine". Don't know when they will be
released. At least two new songs have been written so far, "Green"
and "Touch Upon Touch", and are being performed live on the tour.
"Alice", featured on the soundtrack to "Stealing Beauty", is out
on the 28th.

If there was anything that 4AD ever did that sounded like
it just had to be a joke, then it's this Jive Bombers release.
I've heard some tracks that Jeff taped for me, and sure
enough, it REALLY IS a 50's do-wop band. If this really isn't
a joke, then it'll be seen as the most bizarre thing the label
has ever released. The Bulgarian Voices album must have seemed
a pretty strange choice too, but at least it falls into Ivo's
well-established pattern of heavenly female voices. But an
extremely dated sounding, male do-wop band??? Well, maybe it'll
catch on like the Bulgarian Voices stuff did, and we'll all be
riding the waves of nostalgia of the innocent 50's. Happy Days reruns...
Burger 'n malt shops on the corner... Bad hair... More likely,
though, it will bring tirades of 'what is this guy DOING' to
new heights.

Nothing like Global Communication - I haven't heard the album, but the
Antacid EP is a throwback to acid/electro (lots of bleeps and squelching
noises). Quite good fun, but likely to disappoint if you are expecting
soothing ambient soundscapes.

The recent talk about The Paladins made me wonder: Aside from The Rossburg
Report, Going Home, and Drowning Pool, who else were planned to be released
by 4AD but never were? A good source told me Hope Hull definitely WASN'T. I
heard Ivo wanted to work with The Sundays, PJ Harvey, and Portishead...but
we know what happened to them, right?

You must be a VERY BIG Dead Can Dance fan if you go then. That same night
the European Championships final is on at Wembley. I wonder what will happen
if England reach the final. But then, of course they won't....
By the way, if anyone is interested in a 4AD-L Euro 1996 Pool, please
contact me by private e-mail. The slogan for Euro 1996 is something like
"Football coming home!", the slogan for the 4AD-L Euro 1996 Game will be
"4AD come home!".

I feel really dumb about not realizing that the aforementioned album had
already reached the stores. Duh. Thanks to all those that brought me up
to date.
I bought Milk & Kisses and then listened. Most of the first half didn't
excite me too much. Kind of bland Cocteau. But the last three tracks I
really liked. The packaging was certainly different. Anyone know who's
pictured. Heaven forbid the Twins put pictures of themselves, albeit
blurred, on their albums.
I must say though that I believe my two favorite tracks are the b-sides
on the blue Tishbite single. As others have heretofore pointed out, An
Elan is just a song to die for. If the band has to make an entire album
to get a song of that quality, may they make albums forever.

JESUS CHRIST, a Pixies retrospective already? Did I read that message right
before I too hastily deleted it? How about a live album? They certainly have
enough live recordings in the can to make a GREAT double album. Who needs a
"retrospective" that will if we are lucky have maybe two unreleased tracks
(just enough to sucker in the long-time fans into a near-superfluous (sp?)
purchase).

>Someone please just look at the liner notes and see if it states as my cd

>curious if this is Hong Kong only!
We've (Australia) had the Twins new LP out here for about a month now. In
Australia they don't really care for Faye Wong here so there is no mention
of her name in the badly written Australian CD cover. I listened to it
carefully and yes she's definately on Serpentskirt here singing something
that sound like chinese.
I don;t know what exactly ('cause i can't speak Mandarin). I think it's
Mandarin anyway, it dosen't sound cantonese. BTW Faye Wong is signed to the
same distributor as the Twins ie Polygram. (The twins under Mecury and Faye
under Cinepoly)
Faye Wong's songs are very much in the flavour of the Twins vocalwise.
You probably can look her up on the net, try net search. Or Tower Records.

Here's the news part of the post I wanted to add to the end of all the
new release stuff from my previous post. This is just info I was able to
absorb during a call to 4AD London. Once again, use it only as a
guide and remember that everything is subject to change!
TARNATION has, like reported in AP, signed to Reprise/WB. They are,
however, still with 4AD outside the US and Canada. Paula and the
band will work in conjunction with both Reprise/WB and 4AD when
releasing material. The 4AD versions will feature v23 art but as I
understand it, Paula may decide to comission different art from another
source for the Reprise/WB versions if she desires.
50's do-whop sensations THE JIVE BOMBERS have their 4AD reissue
compilation "Bad Boy" pushed back into early next year. The originally
assigned catalogue number (CAD 6013) may have to be reassigned,
or 4AD may just keep it like it is as they did with "Funky Little Demons",
a 1995 release with a 1994 catalogue number...
Also delayed until 1997 is the eagerly awaited 4AD 10" series, which
was to start this summer. I suspect that the release schedule is
already pretty busy as it stands and Ivo probably wants to wait until he
can devote more time to it. More time to let the anticipation bulid for us!!
The "best of" compilation from THE WOLFGANG PRESS as remixed
by Barry Adamson is "up in the air" at this point. Details on if it's
merely postponed or entirely cancelled are not available. I hope it
gets released at some point, even if it's just a wholesale reissue of
the original tracks without the remixing. A final tribute to TWP is in
order. Plus, if it gets tracks from "The Burden Of Mules" on CD, I'd
be satisfied! Who'd be into a CD reissue of "The Burden Of Mules"?
Rumor of 4AD signing LA based THE PALADINS is not confirmed yet
although the 4AD staffer I spoke with was familiar with the name when
I mentioned them. So for now, the rumor is just that, a rumor. Should
you have further details on this or are in the band, come forward with
details, please.
GUS GUS, new signings from Iceland, are still very new to 4AD so it
should be expected that an actual first release from them will be a
little further down the road. We'll just have to be patient on this one! A
promo 12" was scheduled to be issued but tracks have yet to be
decided. Also, one 4AD release schedule DID mention a September
release date for their 4AD debut album but that was not confirmed in
my conversation with the label staffer.
Finally, some good news, the limited edition of the v23 "This Rimy
River" book will is actually ready for release in June sometime! The
rumor to the effect that bonus CD's will be included with the book are
most definitely not true. Those early birds who pre-paid for their copy
of the limited art book collectable should start checking their mail
boxes in the next several weeks for the most anticipated non-music
4AD release ever from the label.
Well, that's all for now! If you have anything to add or correct, please
post the list so everyone gets to see it. By the way, here in Canada,
where I live, PolyGram has still got the "Head On" CD single from
Pixies in the catalogue. It has neat custom artwork from v23 and a
similar tracklisting as the Play It Again Sam "Alec Eiffel" EP only with
"Head On" as the "A-side" and a few added live tracks.Also, imported
copies of "Lonely Is An Eyesore" at a very cheap price are still active
in the PolyGram catalogue! Try contacting a Canadian mail order
store to take advantage of the cool PolyGram catalogue!
I will be posting tracklisting info of the PolyGram Cocteau Twins "Milk &
Kisses" promo CD here and on the Treasure site for all who wrote me
about it. It's a 75 minute long career retrospective compiling tracks
from "Garlands" right up to "Milk & Kisses". Since PolyGram handles
both 4AD and Fontana releases, it seemed like a very cool promo idea!
It blows away that "Forgotten 4AD Tracks" bootleg CD without question!
Sorry to have made this a two-parter but I mistakenly sent the first part
before adding all this to it. Take care, fellow 4ad-l'ers and feel free to
send questions or comments to me at the CompuServe address or
this one: [email protected]

I agree that "An Elan" is a great track; possibly the best use of
tension in a Cocteau Twins song since, I dunno... _Victorialand_,
perhaps? On the other hand, the other single which I most prefer is
the second b-side off of the *first* Tishbite ep: "Flock of Soul".
But "An Elan" is better. So, if you can only afford one of the eps,
I recommend getting the second.
Speaking of eps, has the second pair of eps been released yet? Which
album track was going to be the a-side? I don't remember.

No. But I'll always rush out to buy them. They have yet to release
anything I didn't eventually love, and the last album they released
which didn't initially leave me feeling let down was _Treasure_. I'm
sure that this one will grow on me, as well.

Howdy,
This has probably been mentioned already several times, but when is this
album coming out? All the record stores where I live are way too dense to
figure it out. Please email me personally if you can.
muchas thanks,

Anyone care to comment on the jedi knights (new school science) project by
global communication? Reviews, style in terms of other gc outputs, etc.
A small check into the gc web page gave me the following informative bits,
"already 10,000 units shipped in the u.k." *and* the cover.
A list or personal reply would be much appreciated.
thanks.

I had a similar experience, but when I called them up
and asked for their new PO box number they just told me
to send stuff to the old one and it will now be forwarded.
This was at the beginning of last week, and they said
they had just opened their new PO box that day. Beats me
why they couldn't have kept their old one.
Don't forget Modern English at the House Of Blues next
Wednesday. Everyone sing along to "16 Days" now...

Just bought a five track cds from a group called 'Lamb'. One song, five
versions, one of them is a seven-and-a-half minute instrumental remix by
Autechre (so this could be interesting for the people on this list who like
them). The original track -Gold - is the first single from a forthcoming
album.
for this record in the same corner where you find sounds from Nearly God,
Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead... (some call it triphop but I don't).

Actually, tickets are not on sale yet. We called the Keswick
yesterday and they didn't even know how much tickets cost or when
they would be on sale. They told us to try back in a few days. I
can't wait to see them and hear their new album!!!
