It's also in the University Tower store and i suspect in many other Tower chains across the country. I stood in Tower for 45 minutes or so listening to the album in it's entirety (they really should get forward scanning CD players in there). This is a DIFFERENT band! IMO they have made a great leap from the DCD of the last few albums (larger than between any other two consecutive albums). I liked what i heard but i'm sad to hear the medieval/celtic DCD get buried. I guess you ppl. with the promo had told me that it would be "different" but it still sounded much more different than i anticipated. I expected that the album would be more rhythmic and less divergent (Brendan vs. Lisa)--it was ... BUT i thought that latin influence business was ... well ... a joke.it's there! Another thing i didn't expect was the newfound use of studio twiddlings. It'll be interesting to see if this blossoms into a new warrenesque fixation. I had to listen to track 4 twice (i think that's the right track no.) because i thought for sure that it was a radically altered cover of a song that i knew but couldn't place. I finally figured out that the song i was thinking of was Wolfgang Press's "Cut the Tree" (from Lonely is an Eyesore) and then i realized i was just crazy and ought to ignore myself. Am i crazy? I wish i had the DCD promo to compare the songs (particularly the singing near the end) side by side. Well, enough of my blabberinng ... I'll definitely buy the album when it comes out but be forewarned, it's a new phase for Dead Can Dance (by my count they're on phase IV; I = tribal gothic, II = classic DCD, III = medieval/celtic). -cz

Does anyone know when DCD tickets are going on sale for the NYC show? Are they going to be at Town Hall?
Back to my Parasol problem... they answered the email I sent them a couple of days ago, and told me the postal service requires 1 month before they declare anything 'lost,' so I get to wait some more. Glad they responded this time, though. Mike
Does anyone know when the dcd tickets will be on sale for san francisco and where it will be exactly. thanks.
>A Clockwork Orange isn't actually *banned* in the UK by 'the powers that >be' I used that particular phrase 'the powers that be' as I wasn't sure who'd banned/withdrawn it - but to stretch a point, I'm sure that Kubrick could be see as a power that is/was... But, for example, owning the video IS illegal now, so some other power that was/is must have *actually* banned it or something...

Hi! This msg is especially to those in Germany. I'd love to go to the July 24th concert in Berlin, but I live in Warsaw and don't know how to buy or book tickets. It is much easier to get to the Prague concert, and I wanted to do so, but it turned out we (i.e. me and my friend) both can't go there. So if you know something and are willing to help, I'll be more than grateful... BTW, what is the date of the European premiere of Spiritchaser. I was told that in Poland it is due to come out on June 17. Can it be true? Hope to hear sth soon...

Hello...Listening to the local college station... Anyone familiar with a band from Ontario called Sianspheric. The track that the station played was called "Zoe" and it sounded as much like the Red House Painters to make me wonder for a second. A very good song. If the rest of this LP, called Somnium (sp?) sounds like this one song did, anyone who is heavy into RHP might want to check them out. The singer's voice actually sounds like Mark K. singing in a higher register. The instrumentation is very RHP (acoustic carries the song with distorted guitar floating on top and very subtle drum playing). They are on a label called Sonic Union... Any thoughts? Anyone familiar?... O.K. Bye, Roy

Incidentally, regarding the Cocteau Twins..... Rumor has it that the whole playing at St. Albetus Church was a set-up/publicity stunt thing to get the show more attention. All along the plan was to have the show at the Sanctum. The promoters (sneaky promoters) felt that getting a real church involved would spark the interest of the media (it did) and sell more tickets for the show. I think that is pretty shitty, but oh well. Anyway, just thought you might like the inside scoop. Cristina

I think it may have only had about three tracks on it. Your quip about the States suggests you ain't there - if you are in the UK, and don't get any better offers I'll try and sort out sending you a copy. If you are interested then mail me direct on: ozfec@wmin.ac.uk and we'll see what happens - if anyone else is interested then tough...it is too hot for generosity to extend to starting a mail order service.

Thanks to everyone who's sent information about the new Blue Nile album. I can't wait! If anyone hears information about particular concert dates and/or single release information, please send it to the list. By the way, can anyone confirm whether they're still on Linn records in the UK? CDEurope listed them as on Warner Bros., but that may be the continent rather than England. And for those of you on the list who haven't heard the Blue Nile, check them out. Some of you may know that I'm a total 4AD fanatic, but I think the Blue Nile blows them all away! No one just "likes" the Blue Nile (at least in my experience). You either hate them or they become part of your soul. The music and tunes are amazing and different from anything you've ever heard (especially on their first album, "A Walk Across The Rooftops"), but keep in mind that their singer is an acquired taste. Technically, he's got a _very_ weak and thin voice. However, I love it, and wouldn't want anyone else to sing their songs. For all his technical limitations, I think he's the most expressive vocalist there is. I get a lump in my throat every time he sings the last line in "Headlights on the Parade." And now to our regularly scheduled programming. --Jeff Jeffrey T.

Instead of fighting the mini-festival crowd in MA/CT those in the Providenve area this thursday 6/6 should catch the free show at Waterplace Park (?), exact location unknown except its downtown which is not a huge area. park follow the crowd and hope its the right one. i think Johnny Bravo(?) is opening and it starts at 5pm.....sponsored by WBRU i suppose you could call for more info. I of course will be stuck at work...drat. bill

Hadn't thought about rhp. I'll have to compare them! The highlight of the album (for me) is a 21 minute instrumental that closes the lp called "Where the Planets Revolve, I Wish I Was There" (grammatically incorrect, but who really cares... please no one answer that!) The album (Somnium) is worth picking up if you can find it. rob.

Sianspheric is a brilliant band, however very little of their album sounds anything like the Red House Painters. The song you heard (ZOE) is their only quiet, acoustic sounding song and is somewhat similar to RHP. The rest of the album has a very atmospheric sound, heavy on the guitar effects. At times it becomes quite ambient, especially during the last song on the album (which clocks in at over 20 minutes). Their album is very original and i find it difficult to compare them to anyone. They are definetly worth seeing live where you can really lose yourself in the atmospheric guitars. They have a mail order list on the cd sleeve, if anyone's interested in the album, you can e-mail me for the address. cheers! dave
