Well, if you had asked before you might have had a better chance to get this
info...I would have asked them in Atlanta when I met them...but hey, the
tour is half over. Maybe with luck you'll get your wish anyway. (If not, ask
them in "fan forum" on their website, which Robin & Simon check often.)

And speaking of tours, are there no Dead Can Dance fans on this 4 AD list?
I'm still awaiting info on whether they are coming to Atlanta and/or Miami
in August? Please if anyone knows, please e-mail me directly or post to this
list! I would really appreciate it. Really.

Thanks,

        infinite guitar meaning that the pickup(s)
        will sustain the last note(s) played infinitely
        until the power turns off or another chord is
        struck?

"Each person's idea" shouldn't be an issue -- what matters is the topic as
defined by the charter or list FAQ list or whatever.  (Though I'd prefer
to have this list a bit more ... "rigid" ... than the FAQ definition)

I've been on lists before -- and one in particular now -- that's *very*
on-topic.  Things do go off topic once in a while, but when that happens
the list maintainer and a few members will speak up about it, and people
will pull themselves back under control relatively quickly.

> Rigidly single-topic lists get boring. I've been on many single-band

...but isn't it *the* point of a mailing list to be literally on-topic?  I
mean, that's the whole reason, isn't it?  People want to discuss a
particular, defined topic rather than wade through the miscellaneous and
unsorted messages that fly through a place like alt.music.alternative or
what have you... they join a mailing list.

> lists (the Innocence Mission and the Cocteau Twins most recently) and the

But this isn't a single artist list.  There's no lack of subjects to
email around about even if we stay completely on-topic here.  4AD covers
*a lot*.  If you include past 4AD artists and 4AD artist side-projects,
there's no end to the on-topic discussions we could have.

Exactly.

My opinion is the direct opposite.  I've got plenty of friends I send
email to... sometimes people who are on the same lists as I.  We enjoy
each others' [email] company where appropriate, and keep the list to list
issues.  I see what you're saying, but... well, the only thing I know
about the other people on this list is that they signed on to discuss 4AD
and related subjects.  I can be 100% sure that 100% of the folks on the
list are OK [or claim to be OK] with receiving email about His Name is
Alive, but I can't be sure that they'll want to read about Noise Camp.

> with real life -- I choose my friends for their winning personalities

Yeah, but I didn't sign up to make friends, necessarily.  I signed up to
talk about music.  I have met nice people here, certainly, but there are
plenty of other folks subscribed that I enjoy discussing list-stuff with,
who I wouldn't call "friends".

That's what I was hoping to do with discussion of the more ... esoteric
sides of Warren Defever's work, but it doesn't seem to have happened yet.

What about...


Tricky -> recorded a few tracks, and produced a few others, with Whale
       -> ...who covered Prince's Darling Nikki (b-side to "Pay For Me")
       -> ...who wrote "Rasberry Beret"

       -> ...Michael Stipe duets with Kirsten Hersh on "Your Ghost",
       -> ...Kirsten Hersh is on 4AD

or

Tricky -> samples the same Issac Hayes sample as Portishead
       -> ...whose "Sour Times" appears briefly on the soundtrack
          of a Central Park West episode (the one where the gallery
          owner dumps the sugar daddy she was having an affair with)
       -> ... CPW is on the opposite side of Central Park to the
          Dakota building
       -> ...where Yoko Ono lives
       -> ...who was married to John Lennon
       -> ...who wrote "Happiness is a Warm Gun"
       -> ...which is covered by the Breeders
       -> ...who are (were) on 4AD.

     Amps dates, including Irishsupport slots with the Sex Pistols, to
     concentrate on working with her originaloutfit. In NME last week,
     her sister Kelley Deal said there was noguarantee The Breeders would
     work together again and that nobody would "give ashit" if they never
     again put out anything new. The Amps and Breeders' recordlabel, 4AD,
     said the The Breeders situation was "up in the air".

     "We don't really know what is going on, but Kelley's comments last
     week may havebeen simple conjecture. A Breeders album could possibly
     come out without Kelley.It does not need Kelley to make it a
     Breeders album. It's unfortunate that gigshave been cancelled
     because they are all very high-profile dates, but that's theway it
     goes." The cancelled Amps dates are T In The Park (July 14),
     Belfast,supporting the Pistols (17), Dublin Point, supporting the
     Pistols (18), DublinMean Fiddler (19), Phoenix Festival (20) and

the infinite guitar is like taking an e-bow(an electronic bow that makes a
string vibrate indefinitely) and building it into your guitar, but with one
for each string.  he also co-wrote and played on the soundtrack for the
movie "captive" with the edge(including the first apperance of sinead
o'connor).  it is a cool, ambient sort of record w/only one vocal
track(sinead).  the movie itself is kind of odd, kind of cool(rich girl is
kidnapped by political terrorists and converted).  the last interview i saw
said that brook and the edge are the only owners of the infinite guitar(the
edge's being a gift from brook).  wish i had one...:^(  i'll just have to
settle for my e-bow

Subject: a public service announcement re: CRADLE


(this is cross-posted to MBV-L for the benefit of as large an audience as
possible)

Hiya! :)

as long as we're off-topic (as usual):

CRADLE - BABA YAGA (Ultimate UK; ULTCD 042)
the latest project from Terry (House of Love/Levitation) Bickers.

Where is it that this album goes so wrong? Maybe it's because there are 10
(unofficial) Commandments of Ethereal/Shoegaze/Snorepop Music, and Cradle
don't appear to be familiar with any of them.

I. Thou shant let your female vocalist suggest nightmarish visions of
Jefferson Starship and the Banshees.
 Ia. if you do, don't make her vocals so upfront in the recording.

II. When thou changest chords, approach thine changes with some degree of
reason and (/or) logic - and try more than two chords.

III. Thou shall not stretch the flimsiest ideas into 5-8 minute songs,
especially when there's barely enough there for a minute-long interlude.

IV. Thou shall keep thine vocalist in the background if she sounds likes
Eliza Doolittle's (pre-Henry Higgins) less eloquent younger cousin
 IVa. any vocalist that had to be dug out of a grave isn't worth the trouble.
 IVb. if you still insist on letting someone like Caroline Tree sing, invest
in a vocal lesson or two.

V. If thou art trying to rip off Slowdive ("Home"), use FX pedals. They cost
money, but they give some needed texture and interest to even the blandest
strum... strum... strumming.

VI. NEVER name a song "The Clangers & The Moomins" unless you want to be
laughed at.

VII. Songs generally need three things: beginnings, middles, and endings.
It's not wise to record 11 songs which lack even ONE of these essential
parts.

VIII. If thine guitarist is skilled and talented, don't give him Mel Bay
that he can wield a mean axe... why waste him on chords and (negligible)
riffs that would embarrass the Ramones?

IX. 16:09 ("Chloe's Room") is an awful long time to play withst thineself -
let alone to make people listen as you wank away. Unless all the members of
your band are utterly tone-deaf, there's no explanation for how this
tuneless/aimless/pointless excuse for music escaped from the studio.
 IXa. ambient music requires AMBIENCE - not ambivalence and not
ambiguousness.

X. If thou shall choose to ignore rules 1-9, PLEASE don't release your album.

Hope I've saved someone the trouble of bothering with this fillet-of-shit.
Does anyone disagree? Maybe I'm just missing something here...

GuerillaG

XI. thou shalt immediately confine this wretched cd to the used/worthless
pile

Brook didn't play on any M+M album! And I suppose you mean Martha Johnson,
not Martha Stewart. I've dug out all my old M+M LP's and singles and I can't
find Brook's name anywhere!
The line-up on the first two LPs, 'Metro Music' (1980) and 'Trance & Dance'
(1980) is: Carl Finke, Mark Gane, Tim Gane, Andy Haas, Martha Johnson,
Martha Ladly.
And on the (still brilliant) 3rd LP, 'This Is The Ice Age' (1981), Carl
Finke and Martha Ladly are replaced by Jocelyne and Daniel Lanois. THE
Daniel Lanois. He also did the production (or 'produktion', as Peter Saville
spelled it in those days).

 Sort of off the topic , but did Curve have , at one stage , some

Just as a pointer, fans of Curve shoule give a listen to Freaky Chakra's

outstanding westcoast trance techno, with good track sequencing, and
engaging from beginning to end.

just in case we have an expert on Sylvia Plath, there is also a poem by
        her with the same title.  anyone knows what prompted Sylvia and
        the guys from CV to name their work after the so called "City of

First off, who was the lame-o who sent an old February digest to
everyone? That was very annoying.

I found a bootleg CD of DCD called "Influences of the Middle East" or
something like that. Not too bad of quality though it fades out and in on
one song. But it has four tracks I've not heard elsewhere as well as an
earlier version of Rakim. Anyone else have this?

Oh yeah, loveliescrushing and love spirals downwards are big gloom and doom
goth bands!  I have never seen their music described as such by projekt
(although I have seem Lycia and Black Tape described as gothic ambient).
BTW, did you know that lovesliescrushing (along with I think one other

Hi, and thank you,

   I did see this list on their website, but also saw another list that DID
list Atlanta & Miami on Aug 19 & 20...but maybe they decided to rest before
heading out of country. Do you know if this list that you sent me is the
definitive, final list of tour dates?  Should I be hoping against hope that
they'll reconsider Atlanta or Miami? Or should I hustle on back to DC for
the July 11 show, which was already selling fast when I was up there June 9
for CT?

   Please let me know what you would if you were me, and considering I too
am a rabid DCD fan!

   And thank you so much for replying!

1.

I have a question. Pardon if it's already been covered as I am only
halfway through my mail, but I think it's safe to assume it hasn't been
brough up.

I have come to adore Brook's first album, Hybrid, and now classify it
with The Shutov Assembly and Lovely Thunder on the second tier under the
Holy Trinity of the OnLand/Fishes/Pearl axis. It is a seriously beautiful
album. The thing is, I find Cobalt Blue a bit annoying. Nice, but of an
atmosphere I find neither inspiring nor very attractive. Hybrid is a
totally different style.

What I'd like to know is how much Live at the Aquarium, and the 1989
performance released more recently on Sine Records, resemble either
Hybrid or Cobalt Blue, if either. I'm inclined to hope that the Sine
release is closer to Hybrid and perhaps comprised mostly of that album's
material, but I'd appreciate a track listing for either live album or
any comments abou comparative styles, etc.

For that matter, didn't Sine also release an Eno live album recorded at
the same festival? How is it and what did he play?

2.

Weird how so many listservs I'm on are doing offtopic lists and blabbing
about ontopicness/offtopicness. I mean it's happening a lot all of a
sudden. Wilder my friend, what the hell are you doing listening to
lovesliescrushing?? I suppose you have to balance the rest of that stuff
somehow, eh? :) Who exactly is/are Rise and Fall of a Decade?

Anyway, here's mine...

Brian Eno - The Shutov Assembly ...possibly better than On Land
Locust - Weathered Well ...long learning curve but incredible
Techsteppin ...drum n bass comp, very nice
Gak ...old Aphex Twin shit; awesome
mu-Ziq - In Pine Effect ...still getting used to this

Modula Green - Shellground ...as always
Black Dog Productions - Bytes ...as always
Analog Heaven ...cool old acid sampler i dug up
Mazzy Star ...yes i do still make myself listen to guitar music
Spacetime Continuum - Sea Biscuit ...gorgeously bubbly beatful ambient
Meat Beat Manifesto - Subliminal Sandwich ...album of the year?
Orbital - In Sides ...i kinda wore this one out! :(
Blech ...lame Warp mix tape but my portable cd is brokedick
Sarband - Red Book of Montserrat ...best choral/medieval i ever heard

Nope, Anno Domini (in the year of our lord).  Supposedly since the birth of
Jesus but i think they goofed that up by a few years.  At first i thought that
4AD (the record label) was named after the correct birth year but i think it's
actually 4BC.  (and we all know that Christmas isn't his birthday either, don't
we?)  But this is all irrelevant since it has nothing to do w/ anything.

Sorry for the brief diversion.

Not too new, last year or so.

I t has a version of an Aphex Twin song performed
by Phillip Glass in a string arrangement. It is
very different to hear Aphex Twin performed
in this way. I would pick it up if you can find
it. Its bound to be a collector cd mini-ep in

I've heard he was in the band too, but I haven't been able to confirm this.
There was one of those where-are-they-now features on the band in Q a while

Subject: Delay Tambor: (seefeel, autechre, scanner, etc.)


    I just have the track listing of the last silvania cd "Delay
Tambor", which includes silvania's songs played in different versions
by some ambient luminaries like  Kseefeel, autechre, scanner  Getc.
The new disc also includes 3 new songs by Silvania.

    So here is the track listing -taken from a spanish zine, Spiral-:

    01: Eesal
    02: Ov : Locust mx
    03: Ry I : Scorn mx
    04: 3lc : Seefeel mx
    05: ArAng : Scanner mx
    06: Bengala
    07: LBelm : Autechre mx
    08: Arqueopteryx

    Most of the songs are from "En Cielo de Oceano":  Ov = Oval,
3lc = Trilce, ArAng = Arcangel, LBelm = Un bosque en la memoria.
    And one from "Paisaje III": Ry I = Raymi I.
    The others are the new silvania's songs.

    The cover versions are supposed to be in radical diferent
versions than they appeared on the silvania's discs.

    About the 3 new tracks the Spiral's writer says:

            "...now their soul has changed to the investigation, the
        search, and even an evident hedonist side that they're going
        to continue exploiting -see the new maxi "Galax Trax"-. I also
        believe that Mario and Coco (*) have learnt that is preferable
        to fascinate and to result interestings, juicys,
        unforgettables, to leave a trace more creative than
        sentimental."

            -(*): Mario and Coco are Silvania.

        Just to say that if you have a doubt about what i was telling
you about silvania all the time, seefeel, autechre and the other
great bands that appears on Delay Tambor help me to continue saying:

        You really should hear the Silvania's exquisite beauty.
        You really should.

        Regards.

        I don't think that to listen llc and slowdive -forgot to

etc. be a weird thing. Dear "e" you really surprise me with that
question. Is so innecesary -for not to use another words- like if I
ask you "what the hell you are on the 4AD-L listening spacetime,
mu-ziq, locust, etc.??".

        lovesliescrushing are really mindblowing and their cd
bloweyelashwish is for me on the top of the shoegazers and/or ethereal
noise discs. I love lovesliescrushing.


>

        They're a band from Hyperium Records.
        They're influenced by the hesitated rythms of the shoegazing,
and from two great bands: Eyeless in Gaza and Cocteau Twins. And use
too lots of classical instrumentations.
        Rise and Fall of a Decade has 3 cds out,  I just have two of
Both really great.

Oh and Tim Gane is in Stereolab no relation

Hi All,

  I have a bunch of stuff people on the list might enjoy.  I would very
much like to trade the below stuff for other dreampop stuff.  Right now I
am looking for Sarah bands on CD:  Blueboy, Secret Shine (this band
reminds me much of Slowdive), Sea Orchids and more.  If you have no Sarah
stuff send me your 4AD/Dreampop/CD trades.  If all else fails, the cds are
forsale and the list is also updated almost daily through my web page.
Also while at my WWW, please give me constuctive critism about my
4AD-->WWW list interface.  I kind of like it, I think you will too!
(it has a searchable index and other benfits over the mailbox 4AD list)
