I think the whole album is not memorable at all, and the artwork is
dissapointing. Anyway, the reason for cheap prices for singles (at least in
the US) is so they explode onto the charts, debuting at a higher position
than they normally would. Then they can say "it yielded x # of top 10 hits"
Nice, huh?

i'm not really into the whole rumour aspect of the group (not to be
snotty) but i just wanted to set it straight so people can stop talking
about it.
Liz was seeing Tim Buckley romantically for some time immediately
following her breakup with Robin several years ago but the two have
split and she is now going with Jason, i believe, from spiritualized. he
also (for anyone that cares) played guitar during a track of theirs when
they headlined at the T in the Park festival in Scotland the weekend
before last, earlier they'd been hanging out and walking around in the
hospitality tent that was there for label people.
i work with Robin's brother Brian Guthrie, in case there was a question
on the source, and spoke with Robin after the show...

told they were working on it quite a while ago so they should be near

Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 02:00:16 -0400
here's the deal:
the record collector is a pretty hip (as far as i can tell from a few hundred
miles away) record store in livonia, mich...
time stereo is a record (some would say tape and record) label run by one of
the record collector's employees, davin...he often uses the record
collector's address to receive time stereo's mail.
the record collector accepts credit card orders.
time stereo merch is not owned by the record collector, it is owned by davin,
who is not equipped (last i heard) to take credit card orders...
thus, you can use a credit card to order from the record collector, so long
as you do not order time stereo merch (as i did when i ordered the esp
continent cd and detroit electric comp)...
however, individual customers (like frank, since he lives in europe -- i
think) may be able to strike some sort of deal with davin or the record
behalf of the business in ANY way shape or form -- i.e., don't call 'em up
and say, "this guy on the net called BiZ said...")
so frank, i suggest you call davin and try to work something out...otherwise,
ask me, i've been known to swap time stereo releases for imports at
times...for those in the u.s., i'd recommend sending a check...

Actually I remembered what it was. You might find it a bit far fetched...
The "Tell me about the forest" features the lyrics:
"The past is now your future" I thought this was reminescent of
the Joy Division song Heart and Soul "The past is now part of the future"
So is it far fetched?

i agree that the boston crowd was horrible. it was worse than going to a
noisy bar. i don't think dcd should play outdoor beer tents. it doesn't
fit their music.
as for lisa not re-appearing, i could barely understand brendan also(lousy
sound at the show), but i think what he said was that she was trying to
tune her dulcimer(which she had taken offstage with her) and that the
humidity(the show was on the waterfront and it was raining) was plaing
havoc with the instrument. if you have ever tried to play guitar outside,
much less an instrument with 30 or more strings, you know how hard it is to
keep in tune. and dulcimers are many times harder to tune than guitars in
normal conditions.
i _was_ still disappointed that i didn't get to see dreams made flesh, one
of my favorites. this being my first dcd show, i was truly impressed with
their musicianship. they are just as beautiful live as on record.

The original version which appears on the 1981-82 ep is far better
than the redo for _Substance_ in 1987. Ditto for "Confusion." Does
anyone know if there ever was an appearance of the original (1983?)
on cd?

The dulcimer I own has 97 strings! Imagine trying to keep all of those
in tune... If you've never seen one before, each note is made by
two, three or four strings. Each of the 97 is tuneable, plus
each group of strings that make a note is tuneable as a group.
It's quite complicated and chaotic looking at first.

OK, here's the deal, again. The Asian version differs only
by one track: "Serpentskirt" has a completely different vocal
track mainly sung by Faye. The music is identical. All other tracks
are identical to the UK/US release. The Liz version is not included,
so the Asian CD has the same number of songs and is exactly the same length.
Well, if you want to get picky, the US version is 42:46 and the
Asian version is 42:43.
I'm also trying to get some of these for our catalog.

called rykodisc today and as it turns out, they are releasing something by
g500, but the guy i talked to said there was no release date scheduled yet.
also, he wasn't sure if it would just be a rerelease of the albums, or if
it would be a boxed set with extra tracks/nice book etc. apparently ryko
will know within a month or so as to when these things will be released.
but then again, i already have all three albums on cd, as well as two of
the albums i have on cd on vinyl. so i doubt i'd feel the need to spend
$60 on something i already have.

tickets went on sale it sold out immediately! The venue was quickly
changed to the larger capacity Phoenix. The catch is that when the tix
says 8pm sharp, they MEAN it! It'll start RIGHT on time due to the fact
the Phoenix people have a previously scheduled event going on later that
evening, so we'll all be ushered out of there after the show's over!

hey Frank;
what about MTV? some of us might be lucky enough to be able to avoid NME
and/or
MM, but MTV is everywhere. and they *really* control the
industry. let's not
get into the number of bands MTV made and broke.
one day everyone thinks "Underpressure" took samples from "Ice, Ice,
Baby", the next
day David Bowie is covering a Nirvana song, "The Man Who Sold The
World". How hard would it be for MTV to set the record straight?
Fine, this example might not make sense, but try to remember when you
might have
had no choice, but had to either listen to a top 40 station
(maybe u went to
the mall, or were working with people who actually liked T40
Stations). The
so called hits of summer back are gone.
meanwhile, you have never seen a DCD video on MTV,,,,

The new release is good and while different, the same.Three covers,
"All Mixed Up"(Cars),"Silly Love Songs"(Paul McCarthny),and a Jon
Anderson cover, are great and completely transformed by Mark.
Certain songs have a country tint but underneath the same
introspective RHP longing exists."All Mixed Up" is probably my
favorite song but they are no dogs among the lot.

outtakes, demos, what have you]. Now that's great in itself, but there's
also supposed to be a digitized music video on each disc (each of the
first 3?) for the respective singles.

Hear, hear!
Speaking of Clan Of Xymox, in the past few days I've been
in contact with Ronny, who will soon be sending me a tape of
the new Xymox album. We won't have to wait too much longer to
find out if he really HAS returned to glory.

well, I do agree with what you're saying (sort of) but I HAVE seen three DCD
videos on MTV. I still have MTV, but a tiny little flake of credit
sometimes is due.

what kind of format will these videos be in? cd-rom? i suppose, though
the original bowie boxed set video disc (also ryko) had some strange format
that very few players could read. cd-g or something. i've seen a video
for 'tugboat' but no other videos, so this might be a worthwhile
investment, esp with that demo/outtake disc. hmmmmm

According to an April 6, 1996 Billboard article,
CT's Heaven or Las Vegas has sold 235,000 in the US
4CC - 146,000 in the US
That's all I know. Obviously, HOLV is CT's best selling CD in the US.

Yeah, cd-rom. Don't know if it's mpeg or quicktime or what....

There's also a video for "4th of july" which I saw once on... 120 Minutes,
I think (ironically enough :-/ ). I think there's at least one more.

that "strange format" is the same one used on standard US laserdiscs. It will
play in any laserdisc player. The box set came out before the explosion in
cd-rom popularity. Other artists also released singles with laserdisc video
(though front 242 is the only other one that comes to mind at the moment).

Speaking of Clan Of Xymox, Ronny was the main vocalist. On which tracks do
Piter Nooten layed the vocal chords? (including backing vocals, of course!).
The thing is that the vocals in Medusa are very deep and gloomy and I can=B4=
t
tell apart Ronny from Piter...

les mouches--a must-read. indeed. and if you are feeling daring, no exit is
also good (and likely to haunt you daily if you work in a small crowded office)
and the novel nausea is worth reading.

i've only seen a video for when will you come home. actually this was the first
i had heard of them and it was on 120 min. i don't know why but i was crying by
the end of it and they have been one of my favorite bands ever since.
