According to 4AD somebody (well, whoever puts the records in their sleeves) has
screwed up royally and simply forgot (!!!!!!!) the inner sleeves. Consequently,
all the shipments going out of England plus the initial batch distributed in the
UK are missing the lovely inner sleeve. Seemingly we lucky mail order customers
are the only ones who got the inner sleeve. You poor people who missed out
better go and twist some arms. There must be tons of empty inner sleeves
somewhere, just waiting to be claimed.
Good luck,
Ralf

just came home from a pretty good set from dead can dance at the universal
amphitheatre in la...for some reason, however, brendan got really mad during
"cantara" and kicked the cymbal off its holder and walked away
super-pissed...he came back for the encores but when lisa tried to get him to
say goodbye to the audience, he pulled away and went backstage...anyone know
what may have caused this? i know during a song, brendan was talking to the
sound engineer...maybe the sound wasn't up to par...? but they sounded great
anyway.

i noticed this too...LA listies (brant, nick, michael, nadim, etc...) any
idea why? i think it was the folks sitting to my left making animal
noises that annoyed him...the friend that i went with thought maybe he
was jealous of all of the cheers lisa was getting...i don't know, the
sound seemed fine to me...

To totally run this topic into the ground, yes, we did get
the initial 25 Faye Wong CDs last Friday, so they will be
mailed out within 3 days of receiving your orders.
[Mr.s Locke, Callahan, Teran, and Williams-- yours will
be in the mail by Wednesday at the latest].
Dead Can Dance was AMAZING last night! The amount of percussion was
incredible. At times there were nine (!) people on stage, all
pounding away on various items, and the sounds they produced were
pure bliss. It really got the adrenaline going! Brendan's
fit at the very end of Cantara at first seemed like he was just
really getting into the song-- he was off in his corner
smashing away on his cymbal (a single one on a stand about
waist high) adding some truly great effects to the song, and
all the sudden he builds up to a frenzy by beating the crap
out of it, as if he just let the spirit of the song take him
away. Then he strikes the cymbal one last time, kicks his foot
sharply upward, topples the stand, with the cymbal flying into the air,
and storms off stage while throwing the drumsticks to one side,
breaking one of them in the process. Up until he left the stage
I was thinking "all right Brendan!-- showing some passion!"
But then it was obvious that he was furious about something.
The only thing I can figure is that the cymbal might have
been too closely miked and it sounded wrong, or maybe it hit the
mike. Whatever it was, it it didn't seem to affect the music at all.
I can only imagine the scene backstage. I was starting to wonder
if they would even do an encore. It took at least five minutes for
them to come back, and then they did the most mind-blowing song
of the whole night-- the one with the repeated chant that the
guys did: "ahh...ahh...ahh" Remember that one? Stunning! Lisa
kept smiling during this one, apparently sharing some private
amusement with Lance Hogan. Alas, it ended all too soon.
In summary, I will just repeat the quote from Woj (mysteriously
absent from this group for the past few years) about the
1990 show:
"Overall I think this was one of the best concerts I have ever
seen in my life. Seeing Dead Can Dance makes me want to go
toss my entire record collection into a dumpster except for
their catalogue and listen to it over and over and over again
forever. Seriously."
Seriously. It was that good.

Just saw DCD at the Uni. Amp. here in L.A. It was a great show. According to
those associated with 4AD and the band, see them now, as another U.S. tour
isn't expected really until 1998. That's right. 1998. Just a few American
dates left in Texas, Georgia and Florida. Then Mexico City.
Let's hope the band decides to play some more U.S. dates soon. Word is that
we are more likely to see a Lisa Gerrard tour than DCD next.
for the record, DCD played to relatively huge crowds in LA and Berkeley this
weekend, 6000+ and 7500+, respectively. The Berkeley show was outdoors at the
Greek Theatre on the U.C. campus. Its just great to see this kind of turnout.
Thanks to all who attended.

EAR/Rational is having a clearance sale on cut-out CDs, including a good
amount of 4AD and otherwise listy stuff. Killer prices on some things
that are usually expensive and/or hard to find such as "Blowback",
"Birdwood Cage", the limited edition "King"... (I'm not associated with
E/R in any way save as a customer.)
The overview:
>These CDs are new, and are generally cutouts (which means that they have
>a hole drilled through, or a notch cut into the jewel case so that they
>can't be returned to the manufacturer) or in some cases, they are simply
>overstocks. In many cases, these CDs are no longer available, and if they
>are, the prices should be better.
To get the list, send a message whose _subject_ is "CUTOUTS" to
[email protected]. I shouldn't need to point out that replying to
this message will not work; but based on recent list traffic I know that
I _do_ need to point it out, but that even doing so won't help.

Gus Gus - Four track promo 12" (Gus 1)
This promo is the first fruit of the recent signing by 4AD of Iceland's
premier funk/techno/pop (or basically unpigeonholable) outfit Gus Gus. There are
four tracks. Chocolate appears twice, firstly in the original album form - a
dark, funk slow burner, and secondly as a new techno remix. This version is
minimal and bassy, very Detroit, with a distorted vocal that sounds like it was
recorded underwater. The other two tracks are also both remixes of songs from
the debut album (which was released in Iceland towards the end of last year).
Barry undergoes a techno/dub overhaul, with just a little of the choppy guitar
funk remaining from the original, and a mere snatch of the vocal. Mostly, what's
left is a loose hip-hop beat, and a minimal bass-synth chord sequence. Cold
Breath '79, which on the LP is a kind of remote, frigid piece of tr*p h*p has
become a massive bass monster, with a spare, trebly drum and bass beat, a jazzy
keyboard riff and little snatches of Emiliana Torrini's vocal. It's obvious that
this promo is aimed squarely at the dance market, and I think it'll do pretty
well if some of the dance snobs can overlook the fact that it comes from 4AD, a
rock label, rather than some tiny bedroom underground operation. For those of
you in 4AD-land for whom hearing this will be the first exposure to the band,
rest assured that this is really stripped down for the dance floor, and only
hints at some of the delights they are capable of. As regards official releases,
I've no idea whether these tracks will appear in this form on future records.
The press blurb describes this twelve as a 'limited sampler only, a taste of the
future'. But is does say that the first single is due in September. I, for one,
can't wait.
Lisa Germano - Small Heads
A grower, I think. I'm still not 100% convinced, though I am much more s
on second hearing than I was on first. By fourth or fifth I may be hailing it as
a masterpiece. Of the three extra tracks, Fun Fun For Everyone, Tom, Dick And
Harry and Messages From Sophia, the last is the best. It's an instrumental
(vocal version on the album, anyone?) that reminds me a little of River from
Joni Mitchell's Blue album, particularly the jingle-bells piano coda. Moody and
moving.
Finally, I picked up (cheaply) the Komputer ep on Mute, by Komputer. This has
got to be a piss-take, right? It must be Daniel Miller playing silly-buggers (cf
Silicon Teens). It's more Kraftwerk than Kraftwerk themselves, even down to
ripping off half the riffs from Man Machine and Computerworld over its four
tracks. I spotted 'homages' to Neon Lights, Pocket Calculator and Computer Love
on just the first listen. Tell you what, though - it's wonderful! It makes me
laugh, but they certainly do Kraftwerk extremely well. Valentina Tereshkova
about the first female cosmonaut is actually a brilliant song.

I've enjoyed both of her collaborations with Beaumont Hannant, but
haven't heard any of her solo stuff. Is it as good? I know it's not
techno/ambient at all. Which of these albums would be best to start with?
Thx...

What do you mean? Are you saying 4AD's info-packed Lisa Germano pages
with audio clips at THE SITE aren't good enough? Oh, actually there
isn't any Lisa Germano pages at THE SITE. Well, it's only less than a
month until release. Why bother promoting this early to the fans?

Yeah
I think it was because Brendan is still in love with Lisa (not that I have
facts to back that up). I got the impression that this show was momentus
being in Ivo's town, and 4AD headquarters (USA) as well as representing
a large cross section of DCD fans from the West and Southwestern USA (which
of course contains some of the greatest fans).
I think that Lisa (who has been sick) gave a particualarly stunning
performance (relative to other dates) which in one facet of this DCD
experience eclipsed any solo effort or differentiation that Brendan would
like recognized from Lisa. I think that she pulled off the impression that
she is the "force" in the band. In my opinion, her talent as a singer really
does blow away most folks (along with Brendan); however, DCD is easily
the sum of its parts--not to be divided, factionalized or otherwise split.
Lisa and Brendan solo both pale alone
--pale alone. But together, last night they were
brilliant and trancendant as artists and performers with that dynamic
band they fashioned together.
DCD's touring band was phenomenal. This listening experience will
always remain with me, touching upon the joys of drum circles and the sublime
beauty of ecstatic voices that open vistas within and without.
Two down notes:
1) I won't be able to listen to their discs, because they can't touch the
synergy and expansion that their backing band has infused into their sound.
2) I don't generally consider myself a herd animal, but I thought I heard
that the programme contained "Spirit Chaser + xtra tracks." Nope one
song. Damn.

Hi gang:
[email protected] (Brett Boyd) said in his fitting poetic post (on Mon, Aug 12,
1996) that
>I won't be able to listen to their discs, because they can't touch the
synergy and expansion that their backing band has infused into their sound.
While its true that the visual, sonic and psychic mix cannot be captured in
plastic, and that was a HOT touring band, I encourage you to listen to your
CD's again. I discovered parts and nuances that had escaped me before, and I
have a good ear and have spun those disks countless times.
