Scala's full-length, _Beauty Nowhere_, is already out (on LP-only) on TOUCH UK.
There should be a CD version released (also on Touch) towards the end of
September. It includes a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass"(!) and is otherwise
supposed to be much in the same vein as the two 7"s/_Lips and Heaven_.
There's yet another Seefeel sideproject, Siren, which features a different
regrouping of band members (I don't think Sarah is involved) and should start
releasing material shortly.
And Seefeel have NOT disbanded - look for the full-length _CH-VOX_ CD/LP on
Rephlex(!) sometime before years'-end.
Don't overlook the new Locust EP, _No-One In The World_ (on R&S/Apollo) while
you're waiting. Gorgeous stuff! Five VERY different Van Hoen-interpretations of
a WMO track from one of the early Astralwerks comps. From "intellijungle" to
dark Aurobindo-like atmospherics, Van Hoen really does do it all.
>seely an lp late this year
Seely's LP is already available - but not on TooPure. It's called _Parentha
See_, and it can be ordered from:
Third Eye
1653 McLendon Ave
Atlanta, GA 30307
I understand that TooPure will be re-releasing this album, perhaps remixed or
rerecorded, but featuring more-or-less the same tracks.
Has anyone managed to find either of these yet?
Both have supposedly been released
O'RANG - FIELDS AND WAVES (on Echo)
SILVANIA - GALAX TRAX (DELAY TAMBOR?) (on Elefant)<--feat. Locust remix!
keeping up with the Van Hoens...

The best album to begin with is probably "Americana," as it is made up of
tracks from earlier albums, eps, and singles. While there are great tracks
NOT on this compilation - it is a good beginning sampler.

I really love the Lollita ep. It's a great example of the use of noise as a
beautiful effect in a pop song. It's produced by Robin Guthrie so there's
lot's of mid-80's era Cocteau guitar tones, and big ass Treasuresque drums.
Spooky, crushing, beautiful...

I picked up one of the Violaine EPs the other day at Tower (in the special
"Britpop" section, next to the Gary Barlow singles and the books on East 17
and Blur - cheers). I got the one with "Alice" and maybe this has been
mentioned before, or maybe it's me, but does anyone else think it sounds
like someone else is singing along with Liz, specifically the "Alice Alice
Alice" bit?

Sorry if this repeats anything...
Got back a while ago from the show at the Tractor Tavern. Great stuff.
[fellow who's name I can't remember, from a band whose name I can't
remember -- sorry, it's real late] on bass. This wasn't album HNIA, this
was ROCK HNIA! (it's the "new way") Boy, did they rock. They're gonna
get kicked off 4AD soon for those killer solos... What a great show. You
know, I've heard these songs over and over again over the years (weeks,
whatever), but I never imagined them like this. Completely unexpected
performance, and it worked perfectly. I never would have imagined the
songs like that. No puppet show, but they had the whale (dion?) dancing
around on and off stage for part of the show, and the lion/monkey
display... I took pictures, let's see if they come out. But no tshirts.
I wanted to buy a HNIA tshirt. :(
notes -- they weren't selling live tapes from other shows on the tour.
Too much work for Warren - he was staying up all night copying... etc. A
few other people in the audience were recording, but who knows about
copies... Oh -- Warren said he likes Ultraman better than Kamen Rider
because Ultraman is easier to draw. Absolutely everyone in the band was
very polite (forget this "so and so is bitchy" and "so and so is a power
freak" crap). I got one of the last two Time Stereo-edition Univ.
Frequencies 7"s. I don't know if they have any more in MI or not.
Too good for words. Give me a few weeks to process it and then maybe I'll
write a better review.
Now off to Japan...

First off, Seely is very good and you should all check them out when Julie
Only is released next month. And this opinion has nothing to do with
having become acquainted with one of the members of the band.... Besides
Julie Only having more tracks, everything has been re-recorded and
promises to have a slighty truer sound. And I imagine that it would be
hard to find Parentha See outside the southeast us.
So, will Seely be touring to support their upcoming album? I haven't had a
chance to check with my friend...

I don't know how this affects Manchester/Dublin/London, but I would guess that
they may be off too. When I found out more, I'll post more. If anybody out there

Then you could start on all the songs that use the same riff, starting

more Stereolab songs :)

That's WFO, and it's on "Excursions In Ambience 2". One of my all-time
favorites; it takes a bit of Karen Carpenter singing (from "Hurting Each
Other", I believe) and loops it over a buncha blissed-out synths, with a
bassline and techno beat gradually fading in and taking over.
Does this imply that Van Hoen was WFO? I've always wondered if they had
any other songs...
My head is spinning from all the Seefeel recombinations. Jeez, they're
getting as hard to follow as Wire were!

i had just read this on the Throwing Muses web page when i then read your
e-mail message. Hope this helps to clarify things:
Posted by BillyO on September 11, 1996 at 09:10:21:
Due to complications in Kristin's pregnancy, Throwing Muses Tour dates in
the UK and Europe have
been cancelled...Kristin is currently under doctor's care, and will be
spending quite a while in bed
and at home...
The physical strain of the US promo tour caused Kristin's body to go into a
pre-labor state (singing,
and sustaining notes at that volume, is much like "pushing" in labor), in
effect fooling itself into
thinking it was time to have the baby...Needless to say a delivery at this
time would be disastrous,
threatening the lives of both mother and baby...
Throwing Muses deeply regrets having to cancel these dates, and asks for
your indulgence and
understanding...
Stay in touch, we will...
Love,

While I don't know if this has anything to do with where the band got their

While rooting through the bargain bins at Sam's today I came across a
cool video compilation called "The Story Of Creation". It was released
in 1992 by Warner Reprise Video and features a bunch of videos each by
Primal Scream, Ride and My Bloody Valentine. The ident number is 38278-3
and in addition the vids there are interviews with the band members as
well as cool sound "burps" from label boss Alan McGee, who is interviewed
sitting behind his desk while remembering fond moments in the Creation
history. The cover art is from Christine Cano who also designed Throwing
Muses "Not Too Soon" CD single cover art. Neat item at $3.99!!
Also, on a different topic, Lisa Germano's album comes out on the same
day as her former boss Mr. Mellencamp's new long-player. Coincidence??

Jesus, Emiel, the proper response to this situation is to say:
I hope that Kristin and the baby are okay. Cancel whatever
you need to cancel and get back to us when you can.
Sheesh.
Anyway. DCD in Seattle and Vancouver both were wonderful,
and I concur with the general opinion that the Spiritchaser songs
needed to be heard live, with all that thunderous percussion,
to really work. Rakim with almost everyone on drums and
percussion was perfect. At the Vancouver show Brendan
sang the song he did for the 13yi CD - the Tim Buckley
cover - for a final encore.
Naturally audience response in both cities was nothing
short of estatic. I did believe that DCD could do no wrong,
but Spiritchaser tested that - and the first time I heard it
was in damn near ideal conditions: driving through the Cascade
mountains with a large cappucino ice cream cone in my hand, on
my way to Seattle for a romantic rendevous. My brain was swimming
with love endorphins and sugar molecules, and I still wasn't grabbed by
Spiritchaser in any way except for a few moments in a few songs.
So I'm glad I saw the tour; the CD has quickly worked its way
to the bottom of the pile, and will probably stay there.
Well, that's my annual post to 4AD-l. Thanks for your
indulgence. :)

Who knows, you could be right.
The lead singer (they live in Boston) rides around on a moped/scooter thing.
She's funny. I don't know if they're into mountain bikes, but you never know.
They put on a good live show, too. I've heard one of their new songs on
local radio and I kinda like it. The Curve references are rather accurate,
but at least Chainsuck don't water it down and make it "accessible" like
some "rubbish" we know.

the ltd. ed. Universal Frequencies stuff was limited to 50 copies each
of the 7" and the CD ep. (This according to Davin...)

I think it's time for me to 'fess up to what's been a fait accompli for
the past few months -- I'm not maintaining the 4AD-L FAQ anymore.
Basically I haven't had time, and my interests have been drifting away
from 4AD (or rather, 4AD's been drifting away from what I'd call
interesting) which reduces my motivation. Nor does it help when certain
people accuse me of list fascism when I refer people to the FAQ, although
that's only a minor factor.
So -- is anyone out there fired up with the desire to take ownership of,
improve and maintain the FAQ? You do need to have a Web site to integrate
it into. If so, please let me know. Thanks!
