Moose has done far more (far better, IMO) than Lush in the way of
expanding beyond the "shoegazer" sound.

We're S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G.
Orbital - In-Sides
After the fantabulous "The Box" ep, this release seems rather
anonymous in comparison. Sure, every tune is fun, sounds good and
have swell tunes, but "The Box" had that little extra that Orbital
sometime manage to touch upon -- "Lush 3", "Halcyon", "Are We Here?",
"Belfast". This album trundles along very nicely for 72 minutes, and
then it ends. I'll be playing it a lot, I think.
Jane Siberry - Maria
So, everybody loved "Bound by the Beauty" and nobody liked "When I Was
A Boy" much. (I loved them both dearly.) Then "Maria" was released
to general apathy, and reports started trickling in that this was not,
how shall one put it, very good. At all. It was recorded in a 3 day
jam session with four jazz musos -- no sequencers, no odd instruments,
no acoustic guitar. *gah*. I know, development is nice, but does she
have to develop into a jazz lite dilletante (as I think I read that
someone called her)? No! And, no, she hasn't. The first thing that
struck me about when I put this cd on was that it *sounds* very
slick. It has that open, clear, yes-the-musicians-are-playing-
in-your-living-room sound. Just drums, bass, trumpet, piano, and
vocals. Very clean; very intimate. The next thing that struck me is
that this isn't jazz lite at all -- it's jazz. The Real Thing.
Odd time signatures, syncopation, things that go off in odd directions
around a single theme. Now, after listening to it 4 times, I still
haven't decided whether I like it or not. I'm starting to get a
handle on the tunes, and they're quite pretty, in that odd Siberry
way. Hm. I do want to listen to it, and it doesn't annoy me, and my
foot is tapping and my head is bopping along, so perhaps I do like
it. Hm. What do the rest of you think of this album?
The Amps - Pacer
Hey -- 30 minutes long, lots of tracks, low fi, pop tunes -- what
album does that remind me of? Why, "Pod", of course. Did Kim want to
re-create that album? I have no idea. It's a crunchy and lively
album, but it's so short it's always over before I notice that I'm
playing it, so I have no idea whether it's any good or not. I can't
recall seeing much discussion of this album here either, so perhaps
that's the effect it has on y'all? One thing's for sure -- it's not
*bad*. It might be good, even. Dunno.
Richard Kirk -- Time High Fiction
This is a double cd re-release of a thing Kirk did in his industrial
years -- '81 or something. I was kinda hoping for something more
laid-back (if not nasty and groovy), but this is *very* crunchy.
Clank! Ooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! (silence). iiiiiiiiiii! That
kind of thing. Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood to have my ears
pierced by Sonic Terrorism, so I think I'll put this somewhere safe
until I become an angry young man (again).
Simple Machines - 1990 - 1993
I bought this thing because I couldn't remember the name of the band
Toomey plays in when she's not doing her Liquorice thaaang. It's
Tsunami, right? This album has 24 tracks from 24 singles (I presume)
-- bands like Hated, Velocity Girl, Unrest, etc. You know.
Unfortunately, they're not very good. Hated, for instance (which is
the band of that other Liquorice person, isn't it?), do this
atrocious version of "I am a Rock". Puh-leeze! Superchunk do their
tune -- again. I mean, we've heard it ten times before, and it was
tiresome even after the first ten seconds of the first time. I don't
know about the rest of this stuff, because it all sounds the same --
except for this odd thing with a school bell that goes off. It's
annoying, but at least it's different.

Here, here !!! (fell for them on the Volume series)....

I sincerely hope scheer do well. Their "Infliction" album has been
selling less than OK-ish and I'd hate to see them the victim of a label
house cleaning! I fell in love with sceer after the "Howling Boy" 7" and
again live at "Shaving The Pavement". Audrey has a voice that sends
chills up my spine and the band writes truly affecting songs. I'd like
to see a This Mortal Coil version of "In Your Hand". I'm supporting
scheer and hope they continue releasing material on 4AD or elsewhere just
as long as they continue to do their thing...

Jeff, don't be afraid to use a capital 'S' for Scheer... It's all a graphic
design ploy to fuck with the minds of journalists; trust me.
Am I imagining things, or is the album version of "Shea" mixed differently

Bought the singles yesterday. By a cunning selection of covers,
remixes and acoustic versions Miki and Emma have managed to avoid
having to write any new songs, though they did let the drummer (?) do
one. Remember that "New Wave of New Wave" scene that the NME was so
keen on a year or so ago? Enough said. The A-side has been remixed to
make it even more irritatingly saccharine, and it seems to be playing
everywhere I go these days, so it may be a Big Summer Hit and they can
all go and buy yachts and hang out with Bill Wyman in the South of
France. Great pop music.
Other stuff: Julian Cope's "I Come From Another Planet, Baby" is fine,
though I wish he wouldn't sing "buybuy" in that Adam Faith accent, and
the B-side is ten minutes of utterly deranged ramblings about Mother
Earth being like an amphetamine pessary, buying an electric piano from a
care in the community victim, and wanting the Orb to wear lipstick.
Over whooshing synth noises, of course. The accompanying "ambient"
remix "Ambulence" is ambient up to the point where it starts to sound
like a jet aircraft taking off, at which point I decided to turn it off
and concentrate on the TV news.
Oh, and Frank Black has a new single out if anyone's interested. I
bought them because they were 99p each but haven't plucked up the
courage to listen to the things. Two album tracks, a Ray Davies cover
(previously on a promo 7") and a lot of live stuff spread over the two
CDs. Cover art is the dictionary definition of crap, of course.

Yes, Propaganda did release "1234", but it wasn't the original lineup.
It just wasn't the same. As far as "1234" is concerned, I don't
recognize it as a true Propaganda release.

Just wanted to ask if anyone's heard of this group 'The Lover Speaks'?
Great stuff! They've only got 1 self-titled album. At least, that's what
I know. Would love to hear that they've got more releases. Anyone knows?
Annie Lennox's "No More I Love Yous" was originally done by The Lover
Speaks.
I believe TLS was headed by David Freeman who co-wrote & sang on a track
in one of Alison Moyet's album.
Does anyone know of other works/projects by David Freeman? what happened
to him anyway?

We discussed this on the list September/October last year, and we concluded
(anyone correct me if I'm wrong) that a couple of releases got assigned new
catalogue numbers because a new Lush 12"/CD was cancelled (or rescheduled):
5011 Lush single, cancelled
5012 Air Miami 'Me.Me.Me.' album, becomes 5011
5013 Scheer 'Schism' 12"/CD, becomes 5012 (see the running grooves)
Mark Robinson/Teenbeat Graphica did the artwork for 'Me.Me.Me.' himself and
most likely finished it before the change of cat.#.. He then forgot to
change 5012 to 5011 on the LP inner bag. Anyway, I'll ask him about it.

...Teenbeat have released the In Camera '13 (Lucky For Some)' CD in the USA
(TB# 106), but intentionally skipped #113 in their catalogue! Well, that
doesn't explain anything of course.
>There are many art changes from US and UK versions of this album!

I'm afraid I lost the original post from the person telling that he had
heard a rumour about the new UK promo 12" for Lush '500 (Shake Baby Shake)'
(LUSH 8) including BBC Radio's Mark Radcliffe and some other guy (forgot his
name) doing their own version of 'Single Girl', called 'Single Blokes'.
I got the 12" today and it DOES indeed include an uncredited extra track,
'Single Bloke'. They changed the lyrics (and play the song themselves?). The
lyrics are so obnoxious that it MUST be Radcliffe.
LUSH 8
LUSH '500 (Shake Baby Shake)' 12" promo only in LUSH custom die-cut sleeve

i thought it was mostly boring but there is a sort of edgey/queasy (?iguess i've
never written that word before) feeling to it that has kept me from getting rid
of it. nothing compared to portishead, definitely. i've seen some people on
here who seem to really like them though.

Whenever I hear Pluto's "Paste" it sounds like a mutant version of
Bauhaus and The Go Go's! Also, that "Children" video from Robert Miles
looks a little too much like the director watched the "Lonely Is An
Eyesore" video prior to shooting it!!

History lesson:
Okay, the girls up front always attract the attention, but Propaganda was a
Ralph Dorper (ex-Die Krupps and later back with Die Krupps) project. He'd
recorded 2 7" under his own name for the German Zick Zack label, that were
released in 1982 on a 12", 'Eraserhead' by the Crepuscule/Rough Trade
sublabel Operation Twilight (OPT 018) before Dorper started Propaganda. A
12", 'Diziplin' was scheduled for Twilight release (OPT 019) but then ZTT's
Trevor Horn and Paul Morley came along and snatched away Dorper/Propaganda
from Patrick Moore's hands. The girls came in, Morley married one of them,
she recorded with electro veteran Thomas Leer as Act and even did a solo
album (isn't it?) etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Well, that's the usual meaning.
I dimly remember, when I was a youngster, reading a novel called "ESP
Summer" about a teenage girl who develops psychic powers. I'm pretty sure
that was the title. Someone more obsessed by all things HNIA than I am
(and that includes most of you!) might want to look up this title in
Books In Print.

I don't have the dates in front of me, but next week
will see a short tour featuring Scenic (IPR's posse
of tumbleweed instrumentalists) and Lanterna (Henry
Frayne of Moon Seven Times fame doing instrumental stuff I'm much
more interested in). It's a solely a West Coast tour with
something like 6 dates. I'll post 'em when I have them.
Check the IPR site.
Following the 80s thread I started,
for me all the wonderful brit/techno/pop was THE defining
element of my musical development. Ultravox was my band
of choice (seems kinda silly now, I suppose). Chances are
if you need any particular thing by them, I definitely have
it. I went nuts collecting it all. Cocteau Twins was the band
that pulled me out of this in 1987 (by then all the 80's stars
were has-been's anyway-- what the HELL happened to Simple Minds,
anyway-- Sanctify Yourself, my ass!, but I digress).

i grew up without cable in a small missouri town (this sentence makes me laugh,
but it's true) so my only musical source was the radio. lucky for me radio was
having a good couple of years--amongst all the crap there were some wonderful
songs by dream academy, a-ha, elvis costello, blow monkeys, psychedelic furs,
bronski beat, icicle works...(and no, i'm not reading from one of those tacky
80's nostalgia compilations). no matter that many bands were "one hit wonders".
i think that come on eileen and 99 red balloons were worth more than everything
i've heard by def leppard (sp?) and van halen put together. i'd hate to be a
kid in the same situation today. radio is so bland and repetitious it makes me
sick and i'd probably be one of these alternatots who think trent reznor is god.
ok. sorry if i've offended any nin, VH (dave's back!), def l., or k-tel fans.

Understanding Jane (there's an 80's title for you. Identify
it and win a Dewdrops subscription).
In my opinion, Jane Siberry's career has been spiralling
slowly downward since Bound By The Beauty. Or The Walking,
for that matter. Maybe she still has something to say,
but I can't stand to listen anymore. From the uninspired,
easy listening of When I Was A Boy, to the jazz of Maria,
she has permanently lost me. Keep in mind, though, that
I really, really don't go for jazz (odd, coming from a
Dif Juz fanatic). I think it was said best by Bruce from
the Kids In The Hall, who said 'Jazz is the musical
equivalent of vomit.' It's probably ridiculous of me
to totally dismiss an entire musical genre, but Dif Juz
is the only jazz I have ever heard that means anything
to me. I can understand the talent and complexity involved,
but it just makes me cringe. Like techno. But don't get me
started on that...

i love the maria disc. i was surprised by its jazziness when i first listened
to it but not in a bad way. there's a quirky complexity to jane siberry that
makes everything she does wonderful whatever type of music she's tinkering with.
listening to maria elicits a range of emotions. honey bee is inspiring. lovin'
cup runneth over with cheesy happiness. and the 20 min. oh my my at the end
leaves me feeling deeply melancholy. this sadness is composed of memories and
realizations stirred up by the song and brings about a small amount of
introspection whereas a cd like children of god by swans is so thoroughly bleak
and oppressive that it can sour the brightest day and just leaves me in a
horrible mood. as uncomfortable as that may sound, i really miss that from
them. they have had so many boring releases in the past eight or so years that
i've given up on them. anyway, jane has her own record company now called
SHEEBA records which is supposed to have something out already called Teenager,
and will also be doing books. sounds quite fun to me. the website is at
www.sheeba.ca but i haven't had any luck with it yet.

Lamb was in BowWowWow, wasn't she. BowWowWow (managed by Malcolm McLaren)
was the first band ever to release a cassette-single! Forgot the title....
(something like 'C90C60C30').

While I'm not a fan of Nine Inch Nails (or many of the other alternabands
that get radio airplay) I have to say I'd much rather listen to them than
to the insipid cheesy synth novelties that filled the airwaves during the
'80s. The stuff that pounded the stake into the heart of New Wave music
and reduced the cutting edge to stuff for girls with big hair and day-glo
spandex outfits to hop up and down to at the mall. I was there, I
remember it, it was sad. Just thought I'd introduce a dissenting note
into all this 80s-worship.
If we're going to talk about the '80s, how about Tones On Tail, Kate
Bush, Hunters & Collectors, Sonic Youth, Cabaret Voltaire, Savage
Republic, Danielle Dax, as well as the usual 4AD suspects?

This comes from the Xymox web site:
www.cybercomm.nl/~xymox/xymox.html
Xymox made the soundtrack for the CD Rom game "Total Mayhem" released
by Domark in the U.S.A. (released May 1996) The music however is not
representative for the new album of Xymox to be released soon All
tracks are instrumental " purpose made" for the"Total Mayhem" game.
The new album of Xymox will sound like their earlier works on 4-AD and
a complete departure from what they have released in the early
nineties.(Metamorphosis,Headclouds). We will let you know when it
will be released as the band is still working on the recordings.
The site has a complete discography, t-shirt offers, lyrics,
e-mail to Ronny, pictures, etc.

I remember them days! It was late summer of 1980 when I first
heard "Vienna" and "Sleepwalk." Even went so far as to try for
the patented Midge Ure Pencil Thin Mustache (tm). Aren't a couple
of the band members still hanging around and releasing stuff as
Ultravox? It seems to me there was a CD out last year, but I
never heard it.
And while we're digging up the dead, how about the Australian version of
Ultravox, namely, Icehouse. I loved their first two albums, "Icehouse" and
"Primitive Man." And what about former Ultravox front man John Foxx's
1980 album "Metamatic"? Any of you fans remember this stuff?

Bow Wow Wow's luscious jailbait singer (she was 14 when Malcolm McLaren
discovered her in a laundrette) was Annabella Lwin. Not the same person
who covered "Riders On the Storm".
>i know that she relased this wacky song called eifel tower
"Sexy Eiffel Tower" was a Bow Wow Wow song, from one of their first two
albums. But I think the 12" remix of "See Jungle See Jungle Go Join Your
Gang Yeah City All Over Go Ape Crazy" is their highest moment (not to
mention the world's greatest long song title up until the Orb's "A Huge
Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of the
Ultraworld"...)
And the cassette-single was called "Your Cassette Pet" and the song on it
was "C30 C60 C90 Go!", an ode to home taping.
