Just had to throw my 2 cents in on Ryuichi Sakamoto:
Anyone and everyone on this list should pick up
one of his scores for the films:
"The Last Emperor" (won best score Oscar for that year)
"The Sheltering Sky" (a bit repetitive, but still good)
"Merry Xmas Mr. Lawrence" (good movie with David Bowie in it as well)
The first two films are directed by Bernardo Bertolucci
and _definitely_ worth a rent.
There are two versions of the last: full orchestra and solo piano.
I like the piano-only one, but alas, available only on import from
Japan I think....
Or just get the new "1996" LP that just came out..
different but nice versions of the best themes from these works
plus other stuff.
On another note:
I'm leaving NYC behind and moving to San Francisco
for a new job. Folks who live there or are very familiar with
the place: can you please recommend good record/music/guitar shops
to me? I know of the few in the Haight, but what else
is there? I was there two weeks ago on my interview
and I found out Rough Trade moved to South of Market?
Thanks,
-Brendon

My recent trip to Hong Kong paid off big. I was over there
in Shanghai and HK for a week officially to present some
results of my astronomical research, but unofficially I was really
there to pick up a Chinese hammer dulcimer, or a yang t'chin
(or yangqin) as they're called (aka. that thing Lisa Gerrard
plays with those little bamboo hammers). In Hong Kong I lucked out and found
a beauty for a little over $100. It's really wonderful and as
sson as you start fooling around with it, you almost can't help
but sound like Dead Can Dance. Of course, it'll take me a while
to sound like I know at all what I'm doing with it, and getting it
in tune will certainly help a lot. The problem is: how on earth
do you tune a yangqin?? Does anyone else here own one or have any clue?
I'll see what I can find out from some local music stores.
Here's where I got it:
Yuet Wah Music Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd.
143 Wai Yip St.
Kwun Tong
Kowloon
Hong Kong
or you can contact their head office at:
212 Des Voeux Rd.
Central
Hong Kong
tel. 2543-8109
They seemed to be able and willing to ship overseas, but this
would about double the price.
One thing's for sure, it's going to be great fun learning how
to play this thing!

The second Scala 7" and the CD compilation of both were in the UK shops
yesterday - the compilation is called something different to the
singles ("Tears" / "Triptych" and "VDT" / ???), but my hayfever-addled
brain can't remember either the name of the EP or the second B-side -
both are called "Something and Something Else", but not the same
somethings. Anyway, it's good stuff - four short (3-4 min) songs
ranging from VDT's Tricky-style nervy beats and paranoid mood to
Triptych's summery tunefulness. Sarah's not quite in the Liz Fraser
league, but the vocals are pleasant enough. John Frennett (Laika,
Moonshake) co-composed VDT and presumably played bass on it. Sounds
like Seefeel with a more conventional song structure and without the
obsessive layering and depth. The artwork is good, too.

I' ve been reading to your posts without participating since
about... hmm... 2 years ? something like that (who cares)...
Nobody ever mentionned yet the very real meaning of those 3
little characters that we' ve been seing aligned together
for a while now, that "4AD" sign mystery never resolved...
"4AD" doesn't mean "Forward", "For Eddie", "For A Day",
"4 Anna Domino", "AD AD AD AD" (as "RRR4" = "3R4"),
"4 Letters From A To D", Whatever you hear...
As far as I know, "4AD" means "4 Analog (and/or) Digital tracks",
Like you can have 8AD, 16AD, 24AD...
The tape player Ivo is rumoured to have seen these letters on
could have just simply been a 4 tracks player/recorder.
In the beginning of the 80's (or end of 70's) people would
say "This is a 4 track recording (or mix)".
The arrival of Digital technology (even though unaffordable
at that time and very experimental) must explains that
way of putting these letters together (for a little while),
meaning that they, for example, "were 4 tracks, wrether they
be analog or digital, or converted analog to digital, or both".
At the less it means 4 tracks "converted from Analog to Digital".
If you have a small 4 track recorder, meaby you could even call
it "your portable 4AD" (especially if it is working with both
technology).
This sounds to me like the most obvious hypothesis on the
origin of the label's name, but I am ready for any flames.
Now.......
Next section..........
Well..... Your humble guest needs to complete his personal "4AD"
collection and....
...he thought that meaby some of his hosts could help him somehow

P.S.
I' ve got a "grey" copy of "Mercy Seat" by UVS :
Is the "green" copy the one the rarest ?
Does The Happy Family cd has the same cover as
the LP ? (I don't have the vynil of this...)
I have a version of "Natures Mortes/Still Lives" that
has the "WEA US/JAPAN" label on the center of the 12"
and at the bottom of the back cover, below the "4ad" catalog
number (CAD 117) : Does the u.k. copy has those (meaning it
is the same) or does it have that "own 1982ish" label (2
mens in fight) ?
Is there anybody else whom is geek and meek enough to buy
every 4ad issue and still loves them today (no offense...) ?

Okay guys,
1st things first: Thanks a millio, this is the only
decent list I`ve _ever_ subscribed to, I really enjoy
it.
Now comes my little trivia question... I was reading the
FAQ sheet and I realized that no one says anything
about Peter Murphy. Bauhaus split up (ages ago I guess) and
we know all about Daniel and the boys and Love and Rockets.
Does anyone know where Peter Murphy currently lives?
I have an answer, at least I think I have part of the answer...

i think your diatribe against the evils of doom generation
would be better applied to 'natural born killers'.
i havent seen the directors cut of nbk, but the theatre
release seems guilty of the crimes you chage doom generation
with.
it is precicely the formulas (plot movement, character-types
sexual aesthetic) used by movies like nbk and 'singles' or
'reality bites' which are so devilishly and playfully
subverted in doom generation. i for one was constantly
suprised by doom generation. novel, inventive, creative
film overall. clever, but nowhere did i notice a
confusion/conflict between what i was being shown, and what i was
intended to think about those images. nbk blurred this distinction
_all the time_, and kindof made me ill in the process.
pundits be damned! check it out.

Well it looks like another 4AD and biting the dirt. There seems to be a
very irritating trend of 4AD bands calling it quits after a few albums ie
Pixies, Breeders, Belly?? (care to add to the list?)
Maybe this is due to the 'super creative' nature of each band members ie
everyone wants to do their own thing after a while....."due to creative
differences etc etc..."
It's either that or they switch record companies.......
Let's hope that these "rumours" remains as it is.

Did you see the credits at the end? The music was credited to Brian Eno and
U2 amongst other musicians of repute. I thought the soundtrack was
excellent.
Is it avaliable, has anyone seen it in Towers shops etc?? I can't find it
here in australia. It should be distributed by Polygram but the Polygram
people here don't know what i'm talking about.
for more info go to www.hollywood.com and look up the "Ghost in the Shell" site.

I want to add a little to the "Doom Generation" discussion - I seriously
DISLIKED this movie, for a variety of reasons, but not because it's what the
"entertainment industry" thinks of us. The movie was directed by Greg Arraki
(also directed "The Living End" and "Totally Fucked Up"). Greg is, for all
intents and purposes, one of us (he's a Gen-X'er and obviously likes our
music). What annoys me is that his movies are provacative, but only in a
forced way. You would think there'd be a dearth of young "independant-type"
directors out there who could come up with something better. A lot of what I
saw in The Doom Generation was stuff that was simply there for shock value. It
reminded me of a really immature kid doing stupid things to get my attention.
I do think that Arraki deserves some credit for his earlier releases - I don't
think it's very easy to make non-mainstream films with "real" gay characters.
But I'm far less pissed off about the Doom Generation than all of the bad
mainstream movies that are aimed at us (Reality Bites is the most evil and
nefarious of them all). It's as if they try to reduce an entire generation to
a set of "issues". I'd rather see a well-written movie that wasn't so
obviously aimed at a "market share". I think what bothers me most is how
movies aimed at us are getting increasingly and increasingly violent - as if
Tarrantino-type films are the only thing anyone wants to watch. NBK was
disgustingly bad and overwrought. I can see Oliver Stone imagining himself
quite hip after releasing this monstrosity. If the sountrack is any
indication, it was aimed at us.
Just a thought,
Barry

No, Czechoslovakia creamed Portugal. Besides which, seeing as how
the winner of that game went on to play France in the semifinals,
there is no way Portugal could have met France in the finals even if
they hadn't been beaten.

Of course, the man responsible for this is the same DP who shot
"Delicatessen" (and "City of Lost Children" as well?). If you are
really interested in this look at American Cinematographer magazine
from about a year ago or whenever the movie came out. I can't
remember for sure--it may have been the cover story, but they had an
in-depth article on the shooting of this movie. Very interesting,
very informative--especially if you are into cinematography--but even
if you're not if you know a little about photography and ignore some
to the specific technical details you should be able to get something
out of it.

Hello all,
Great show last night at the Mayan. But at the risk of embarassing myself
and sacrificing my own integrity as a true Cocteau fan, what song was
that they played after Rilkean Heart?
Did anyone else find the ambient versions of Wax And Wane and Aloysius a
little too ambient?

Doom Generation or even This Mortal Coil) are available and fairly easy to
find. i'm sorta new to 4ad, and i'd like to increase my exposure to these
bands as much as possible, though without buying *SOOO* *MANY* cd's n
tapes. what 4ad (or along those lines, you know past and present and
soon to be deceased bands, and those that aren't 4ad but we like and talk
about on this list anyways) compilations are recommended and what should i
be hunting for? (not necessarily ultra-rare ultra-expensive wooden box
type stuff, just things i might find if i knew what i was looking for)
thanks for your help!

i just happen to be listening to a free 4ad sampler cassette
right now called 'shaving the pavement'. i got it thru
the mail from somebody who went to see lush/mojave3/scheer.
the tapes were given out free at these shows. in canada,
you get one free with purchase of any 4ad cd or tape.
and recently i overheard noise on this list about getting
a 'stp' tape free by calling 4ad and asking for one.
ahem!....anyways, here's the tracklisting:
side 1
lush ladykillers
lush tinkerbell
mojave3 where is the love
mojave3 mercy
scheer screaming
scheer you said
SIDE 2
liquorice team player
lisa germano small heads
heidi berry the devil
his name is
alive ESP Summer
tarnation halfway to madness
the amps pacer

absolutely brilliant...there are so many amazing, head fucking aspects to
that movie that its difficult to think of any one that stood out more than
others...
the ending was pretty damn clever, though.
anyone else?

Shallow Grave was great - a real surprise (I would never have rented it if I
hadn't seen cool trailers for it on other films).
>From what I understand, the folks responsible for Shallow Grave are bringing a
film to the USA called "Trainspotting" that has what looks to be a terrific
soundtrack (BritPop stuff) on EMI UK. Do any listees know if the soundtrack
will come (or has come) stateside? I have my doubts because a lot of the
artists don't share labels.

hi all. business has been rather slow lately so this seems like
a good time to go a little off topic with this question.
what is paisley pop ? you see, I was in grammar school during most
of the 80's so I have a lot of catching up to do. I'd like to know
which bands I can listen to that will give me an idea of this style.
is Rain Parade a paisley band ?
thanks to anyone who has the time and knowledge to enlighten me.

I was there too, and it's too bad I didn't get to meet
any listies. I was a wimp and stayed sitting in the balcony
(I really should have my brain checked...). That was the jazzy one,
right? I am almost certain this was one of the Faye Wong tracks
from her CD (I'd give the title, but I can't read or type Cantonese!)
I've only heard it once, but I'll bet that's what it was.
There's an Elysium / Eight Page Story show coming up this

Having missed a week of 4ad-l mail, I have no idea if
this has been mentioned or not, but you may have heard
that there's a different version of Milk And Kisses
available in Hong Kong with Cantonese singer Faye Wong
appearing. Well, I was there last week, and can confirm
that this is 100% true. All the M&K CDs there have a
sticker on them saying something like "Features Faye Wong
on 'Serpentskirt'", and it really is a different version
from at least the US release. It's got a completely
different vocal track with Faye singing most of the vocals,
backed by Liz. Other than the sticker, it would probably be
hard to tell this version of the CD from any other. The
catalog number may be different so here it is: 7314 5323182 5.
Also, it may not even be available outside of Hong Kong, so
good luck searching for a copy. I was an idiot: I should have
brought back a load of CDs.
Speaking of Faye Wong, she collaborated with the Cocteaus
on HER new album. I heard it in the CD store when I was buying
my M&K. At first I didn't know who it was, but then I decided
'you know, I bet that's Faye Wong,' so I asked the guy at the
counter and he told me, 'it's this Cantonese singer you've
probably never heard of...' 'Faye Wong?,' I said, and he said
yes and seemed surprised! He pointed out where it was located
in the racks, and sure enough it had a sticker on the front
listing her name along with the Cocteau Twins. Two of the ten
songs were recorded with the Cocteaus, and the whole thing
is absolutely wonderful! All the songs are quite Cocteau
Twins-y overall, but somewhat more poppy, toward the Sundays
side of things with a bit of Sarah-indiepop added. I'm sure
anyone who likes the Cocteaus would like this album. Which brings
me to my second bout of idiocy: I only brought back two copies!
(They're already taken). What was I thinking? Maybe Dewdrops
can work out a deal with the label to add it to our mailorder
catalog... I'll certainly look into this, because otherwise
it's probably going to be impossible to find unless you have
friends in Hong Kong.

Hello!
In reply to your 4th question about David J's album "Urban Urbane"...
It is worth getting; especially for the song "Candy on the Cross"
because Peter Murphy sings backup on that track. The rest of the
album is rather quiet and the other tracks sound the same the first
few times. But it is nice backround music. Maybe you want to see if
you can find it used. I've seen it several times for about $8.00

I can't believe this isn't in the FAQ.
(It is, isn't it?) I have posted about
this before (maybe it was before you joined the list).
To finally put this question to rest one more time, Ivo
himself told me the origin, and yes, it essentially does
mean "Forward". He and Vaughan or Nigel came up with a
series of lines that went like this:
1980Forward
1984Ward
4 a d
This can be seen on the back of the Modern English 7"
Swans On Glass, which was, what AD 6 or something, the
second 4AD release proper (BAD 5 = Rema Rema, unless
my memory is completely shot). Ivo told me that this design
was an abridged version of what he/Vaughan/Nigel wrote
down, and that this is definitely where the name 4AD came from.
There is also a story that within the first few days
of 4AD being in business, the joke going around the office
what that they were only going to last "for a day". Now, this
may have had something to do with chosing a name, but the
"1980Forward" origin has been virtually etched in stone.
Remember it, tell your friends, put it in the FAQ.

The "Paisley Underground" was the LA early-80s psychedelic revival scene.
Prominent bands were the Rain Parade (including David Roback who went on
to form Opal and Mazzy Star), the Dream Syndicate (incl. Kendra Smith,
later of Opal and now solo on 4AD) and the Three O'Clock. Of these the
Rain Parade are probably my favorite. The Dream Syndicate were a bit too
close to the VU, and the Three O'Clock (and many of the other bands in
the scene) were too syrupy-cute.
A good document of the whole scene is the compilation "Rainy Day" (1982)
which prefigures the This Mortal Coil concept by having people from lots
of bands get together and cover songs they like.

HI all,
I did not expext so many replies about that song!
I mailed out the file to quite some people now, but one or two
email-addresses got lost...
Please let me know....Maybe someone can put it on a ftp-server, my
university only allows login with password, which I cannot submit to
all....

OK so I'm a little late on this particular band wagon, but I just picked
up Tortoise's "Milliions now living..." and I cant stop playing it. They
manage to span a couple of different genre's without falling into the
cliche's on any. PLus the songs are really great too. Why didnt I catch
on to this sooner?! Anybody know if they have any other releases?
