hello.
in the next days will be ready the first issue of "Obscure m=E9lancolies",=
an
italian paper fanzine.
the link with the list is that this first issue will have attached a
cassette with songs of roman groups from the '80s, decidedly 4Ad-ish. names
you don't know, anyway.
if you want to know more, go to http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/3041
and search around for it....

Sad to hear about this, they are playing alot of Lush around radio
this weekend because of it. I always find it sick that it takes someone's
saddenning circumstances to finally get the radio stations to play
a lesser known band's stuff. I saw them at their in store here at HMV
in Toronto and Chris was a very funny guy and seemed quite relaxed.
But with suicide, the person who feels that way sometimes doesn't
show it on the outside. Ah this is sad. It'll be hard to replace an
integral part of the band from the beginning of their careers.
We will miss you Chris.

not heard the full 'Dead Cities' yet. But "My Kingdom" is interesting.
Much more Goth than they've been in the past. It has that 'Blade Runner'
feel (gosh I wonder why?!) Makes me wonder how much the 'goth' leanings
of Orbital's "The Box" have influenced other UK/Techno stuff.

this is ridiculous.
there's no reason i should have to read this petty crap on a music discussion
list... i think people need to learn how to reply to individuals instead of
the entire goddamn list.

Um... yes he could be and hopefully will be replaced. But he was a damn
talented individual. I've not seen many drummers with the ability to work
with a sequencer as flawlessly as Chris could in the live setting.
(anybody thats seen a band like Curve live knows how terribly wrong
dealing with a sequencer & live drums can get!) Also one of the things
that 'Lovelife' proved to me, though its lyrics are insipid, Lush's music
is endebted to a VERY peculiar and quirky sense of rhythm. I realised
that all the way back to those first songs like De-Luxe etc., that they
often built their songs upon a rather ODD and unique rhythm. 'Lovelife'
since its surface elements were kinda a turn off for me (a little too
sugary) forced me too look for other things in the music, and I found
Chris to be contributing A LOT. I dont think his contribution creatively
will be replaced.

Hello fellow 4ADists,
I've recently bought the Breeder's album "Last Splash" and I'm loving
it. Can any one impart more information to me about this band. I have
a feeling that they have released an earlier album. Is this correct?
Have any of the band members been involved with other bands?
In relation to Dead Can Dance, I have been a huge fan for a while
now. Does any one outside Australia have access to any further Dead
Can Dance stuff, e.g. bootlegs, live recordings, unreleased tracks. I
would be happy if someone could copy some this stuff for me if it is
available. I understand there is some Dead Can Dance material which
was released in the US (and probably in other countries as well).
P.S. I'm sorry to hear about Lush's drummer - although I'm not a
fan...
