I second all the positive comments that were posted; it's an absolutely
gorgeous package. Sadly, G500 were on the verge of even more greatness when
all of a sudden...
Another fine release by Rykodisc. If this is any indication, I'm looking
forward to the Throwing Muses re-issue more than ever!
So, I guess all my old G500 CD's (including the ltd. edition package 3rd
album) and CD singles are for sale now; offers are welcome, but you might
as well just buy the box set! A bargain at $39! (not counting store credit
for hawked CD's...)

I heard that once Melody Maker published a list of the best 13 albums
in 4AD and somebody told me that one of them was the Underground
Lovers album, wish are the other 12?

i want to thank everyone for taking some time out to check out my www
magazine. the his name is alive trivia answer is ABRAHAM LINCOLN. i got
tons of really funny answers and some weren't even presidents... anyway.
the tape offer is still good.
i want to reitterate that only four people on this list are getting free
tapes. heather, and the three that got the trivia answer correct. if you
still want the tapes this is how the pricing goes:
losing money by giving so many away and spending quite a bit of my time
dubbing them. so please don't call me a scammer and all those names. i
just really like h.n.i.a and i know a lot of you do to, and you can't all
see them live.
full package: (warren interview, low and mog live, and
then his name is alive live on two cassettes) $8.00 (u.s. currency only)
half package: (either a tape w/ interview and low/mog or a tape w/
lincoln's name is alive live on one cassette) $6.00 (u.s. only)
the no package: (contains absolutely nothing) import priced at only
$22.95 (again u.s. currency)...
my address for anyone who wants these lovely cassettes:
(checks have to be made out to James M. Renaud)
star vein magazine
c/o james marceau renaud
12419 canterbury
warren (defever), michigan
48093
please give me a return address so i can send them...expect a month to get
them.

Now, this is the way the universe is supposed to work! Last week I ask
for info about what new-Too-Pure-signing Seely sound like. Friday I come
home from work to find a promo copy of their new CD in the mailbox.
Reminder to all label reps on the list: I'll be expecting this to be the
way things work on. I'll be expecting Alison's Halo, Scala and that new
Swirlies album to show up this week, OK?
Seriously, thanks to Too Pure and their online dude here [dang! I've
forgotten your name, sorry!] for being so nice to us.
Oh yes -- what do Seely sound like? If I'd been clever I'd've brought in
the bio that came along with the CD and typed it in, because alone among
band bios that I've read it's actually interesting and describes the
music quite well. But.
Seely are interesting, in a subtle way. Much of the music I like
initially strikes me as very weird and it takes several listenings for it
to make sense. Seely are the other way around -- on first listening I
loved the album simply for the sounds and melodies, and on further
listenings noticed the oddities of the vocal harmonies and
instrumentation.
Seely pull off the difficult task of making rock music that's neither
pop nor noise. The sound is fairly quiet and for instance the guitars are
mostly pretty effect-free, and the sound is pretty and the boy/girl vocal
harmonies are gorgeous. But the mood isn't happy and bouncy so much as
dreamy -- this is clearly shoegazer music but without the cliches of the
genre. The spaciness isn't derived from oceans of guitar fuzz or chorus,
it comes from the structures of the songs and the singing.
Comparisons? Some of the singing reminds me of the Swirlies. Some of
the sweetness reminds me of early MBV, only not so sugary. And while
Seely don't really sound like Throwing Muses in any direct way, their odd
uses of guitar lines and the way the songs change partway through reminds
me in a very good way of the Muses' first album.
I have a meeting to go to so I'll cut this short. I'm really impressed
with this album, it has a lot of intricacy to it and it grows on me with
every listening. It's scheduled to be released in about two weeks, so go
for it...

Probably the best shoegazer reference would be later My Bloody Valentine.
If you like the way they're sampling guitar noise, looping it and
building structures out of it; and you like Bilinda's vocals; and if as
extra credit you like ambient-techno stuff, then you should run not walk
to your local record emporium to buy "Polyfusia" or "Quique" (preferably
the former as it's more recognizably guitar driven.) Their later stuff
("Starethrough", "Fracture/Tied", "Succour" is much more along the lines
of the Aphex Twin or Autechre, very cold and sterile-sounding. Can you
tell I don't like it as much?)
Another good reference would be Slowdive's "5EP", which was tacked onto
the end of the US release of "Souvlaki".
Just be warned that what Seefeel write are not _songs_, they're ambient
type thingies with melody and layering and some vocals but none of the
verse/chorus structure you expect from a pop/rock song.

Paul smiles up at his father. The WIND blows the
Duke's hair and behind him stands the castle and the
green and black Atreides banner against the night
sky beyond. The RAIN starts again -- lightly. Paul
takes a closer look at the Atreides banner moving in
the wind.
DUKE LETO
(studying the dark sea below)
I'll miss the sea... but a person needs
new experiences... they jar something deep
inside, allowing him to grow. Without
change, something sleeps inside us... and
seldom awakens... The sleeper must awaken.
Paul's attention goes to his father's hand where he
sees the Duke's signet ring. Again he smiles at his
father.
