IF my memory serves me correct it is a live video of various shows. IN
one PDM Show they had an alien discovery and autopsy; in another they all
wrestled each other and so on. IT is various themes used in PDM Shows in
order to keep the person's interst during the show and entertain. But
since I am not very certain since I Haven't seen the video and Davin,
KEnny, and Warren like to keep people guessing, you may want to find out
for sure....

If you actually want to see music videos, as opposed to the sub-brainless
drivel that tries to pass as "entertainment", call up your cable company
and ask them to get Much Music.

Massive Attack, Tricky, Nearly God, Morcheeba, Lamb, the new Neneh Cherry
single (she will be working with Portishead and Tricky on her new album),
and a few more... try the 'trip-hop' section in your record store (because
the music press/industry gave it a name)
Polly Jane Harvey is going to work with Tricky as well (but who isn't these
days) and she's also planning to do something with Bjork (I loved Polly and
Bjork's Stones cover on the Britt Awards two years ago)

All three of them. In this order:
1. It'll End In Tears (with Cocteau Liz and DCD Lisa)
2. Filigree And Shadows
3. Blood (You And Your Sister isn't even the best track)
If you haven't got one of them you can also buy the US box set with the
three above and an extra 'orgiginals' cd (there are a lot of cover versions
on the TMC albums).

'One Of The Girls Has Gone Missing' is indeed A.C. Marias only album. There
was a second album on the Mute release schedule for years, but it was
removed at the beginning of this year, and you won't find it in the huge
'Mute Bankstatement #1' catalogue, that was issued a few months ago.
But your roommate can look for these 3 Mute singles (all still available
from Mute Mailorder / The Mutebank):
'Just Talk' 12" (MUTE 50) featuring a long instrumental version of the A-side.
'Time Was' 12" (MUTE 70) with an unreleased B-side 'Some Thing'
'One Of Our Girls Has Gone Missing' CD/12" (MUTE 105) including the
elsewhere unavailable 'Vicious'.
It isn't much, I know.

P.S. There's another 7", released in the early eighties on a label run by
some of the Wire guys, that's too rare for words I'm afraid, but the tracks
might be made available again through that Wire Mailorder Service. They have
their own label WMO, and put out rare Wire and Wire-related stuff on CD.

Don't call Can prog-rock!

Not very much, though I personally have a soft spot for Peter Hammill's Van Der
Graaf Generator. I think there are a couple of budget compilations about, but
the best original albums are 'At Least We Could Do Is Wave To Each Other', 'H to
He Whom Am The Only One' and 'Pawn Hearts' which came out between '69 and '71.

Faust were a seminal band, along with Can, Popol Vuh, Amon Duul II and Neu.
There's a good Krautrock primer in this week's Melody Maker written by Simon
Reynolds, or alternatively there's Julian 'mad-bastard' Cope's book
'Krautrocksampler'. For people who think Stereolab are cutting edge, this stuff
is essential listening - it exposes them as the pretty weak plagiarists that
they are. I would recommend the following albums:
Ege Bamyasi, Monster Movie, Tago Mago, Future Days by Can (or alternatively the
two compilations, Cannibalism I and II)
The Faust Tapes and Faust by Faust
Phallus Dei by Amon Duul 2
Neu, Neu 2 or Neu 75 (or the compilation Black Forest Gateau) by Neu.

this video (i don't know why, but i bought it for some reason) is basically
three movies, with a total time of about 45 minutes or so (i think). the
first is a live show, as grasshopper said (is name that from 'the seven
deadly venoms'?). VERY STRANGE. very loud pdm music being played while
some guy rips out intestines and such. has anyone else seen this? who
plays the ufo doctor? the next video is 'the whale that became a star.' i
like this one the best i guess. the music is actually nice, and it's kind
of funny in a sad sort of way. it looks like it was made with a super 8
camera or something. that last movie is another live show, which also was
basically a bunch of people dressed up in strange suits wrestling each
other while this scary guy in a referee suit thing yelled stuff. i'm not
sure if i'd say it's worth the money, though. but then again, i had never
been to a pdm show, so i thought it would be interesting, which it was.
there's also supposed to be another video coming out soon (i think noise
camp).

I can't decide which part of that statement surprises me more: that Can made
a video (I'm guessing they showed some kind of film footage, right?) or that
MTV would play it (what program was this part of?)
> I don't know anything about prog rock, but
>can certainly looked the part.
Well, pretty much every Can album during their heyday (up to the mid 70s)
had pictures of the band lounging around the studio wearing huge flared
trousers, but they didn't go in for the trappings of mainstream prog such as
Roger Dean cover art...
>So I was wondering: Was there much interesting prog music being made?

Well, you could start by getting the Can's _Tago Mago_, the album that has
"Oh Yeah" on it, provided you liked what you heard, that is. Speaking of
Pink Floyd, it's worth pointing out that Can once brought in in David
Gilmour to co-write and play on one of their later albums, and it's about
that time that they started to suck...
>... Hm, weren't Can part of the "krautrock" movement, whatever that
>was, come to think of it?
Well, inasmuch as you could call it a movement, there *were* some bands then
that could be considered to have some similarities, but they were generally
all quite different. Julian Cope has written a book on the subject that is
apparently quite good.
>And, uhm, Faust? Is that a band?
Yes, and a book, and a play, and a film (this could be useful when you're
playing charades)

about these albums:
nicolette . her songs with massive attack were beautiful. my favourite
songs on the album. is her solo work any good ? (can't remember the name of
the album)
raissa. (never heard the name of the album)
someone recommended this but I only got a chance to listen to
the first track. is it worth $23 ?
I'm not asking for full review, cuz it's not 4ad music but I'm sure a few
lines wont bother anyone.
thanks

I checked, and the label is DOME, and the cat.# is DOM 45.1. Released June
1981. The 2 tracks aren't any special, but the record comes in a sleeve that
appears to be in bad condition, but that's just the design. The first time I
saw a copy I didn't buy it, as I'm very picky. Only when I saw another copy,
a couple of years later, in a sleeve that appeared to be in the same 'bad'
condition, I had a closer look.
Sorry, just a funny recollection from the days I spent almost all my spare
time in record stores.

The 'Oh Yeah' video MTV play is the one compiled from clips from a 1972 Can
concert, filmed by Peter Przygodda. The 'Oh Yeah' video can be found on 'The
Tyranny Of The Beat' Mute/Grey Area video (issued both in Europe and the USA).

If you look in the most recent issue of Alternative Press, they list
the summer tour dates for Dead Can Dance, plus a nice picture of the
two of them. I'd tell you if your dates are correct, but I didn't buy
the magazine...I just broused through it at the bookstore.
