If you like the sounds some people call 'trip hop' you should try the debut
album by the uk girl-boy-duo 'Lamb'. The cd is also called 'Lamb' and
released on Mercury Records last week. Ten songs and one hidden track.

1.i've been searching everywhere for the new galaxie 500 box set. i heard that
it was limited to 1000 copies. can anyone possibly explain the logic in
reissuing something in a limited edition like that? i thought rykodisc had
deeper pockets.

2.what is the cat. no. for the new gus gus ep? i can't bear to look for it in
the records stores i'm resigned to shopping around here (rural maryland). which
brings me to a tired subject....

3.i used to live near "da music man" in the hills of virginny. the fact that he
listens to anything but country music qualifies him as a veritable audiophile
and should thus be revered on this list.

4. but seriously, has anyone picked up the new siddal album on bedazzled? it's
as gorgeous as "the pedestal". i haven't had a chance to listen to it much yet,
but i assure you, it's listy fodder.

5.people always tell me about the 4ad band samples on the chemical bros. album.
what tracks are we talking about here? for the life of me, i can't identify
them. then again, i'm going deaf. they're playing in d.c. btw on nov. 15. the

Carnage Visors, indeed a strange movie, I saw it once in a circus tent in
1981 (cure circus tour), I even got that small b/w booklet that came with
the movie (a few picts from some puppet-figures in the movie and the cure
boys at the set), but... Does anybody have this film on video?

And are these soundtrack-bootleg versions taken from the original Faith
tape or from some 'better' source...?

Subject: airing Labradford's dirty secrets


I haven't heard _Carnage Visors_, but Mark Nelson and Carter Brown admit the
following influences.

[This reprinted from an interview conducted by Chip (Veronica Lake/Sabine)
Porter in his "Emily's Hip Pocket" 'zine (#777). Everyone MUST find a copy of
this zine/7" combo, as it contains three UNMISSABLE tracks - Jessamine's most
psychedelicious moment, "Reflections"... an exquisite early Buddah on the Moon
track which has me screaming "MAURICE DEEBANK LIVES!!!" out the window at 5am,
and another typically beautiful Sabine track. Check out the recent Wurlitzer
Jukebox 7" for a taste of Porter's offbeat noise/pop ("my dream is to combine
the sounds of the Human League with the songs of Nick Drake. Pretty folk songs
with fucked up sounds," sayeth Porter in his interview with God (who also
answers to 'Graham Sutton'). Yes, folks - another reason not to miss this
one-of-a-kind package.

probably waaaaaay o-o-p, but here's the address info:
Audrey's Diary
1475 Latson Road
Howell, MI 48843 USA]

...also see if you can get the first Asha Vida 7" while yer at it!

but back to Labradford.

Mark -
R.E.M. - Reckoning
 "I'm definitely of the generation that got into 'other' kinds of music (as
opposed to Bob Seger or something) with REM. And even then not until
_Reckoning_. That record made a really big impression on me. I remember
listening to it on my walkman the summer after I graduated from high school.
'Seven Chinese Brothers,' 'Rockville' - that's a beautiful record."

Brian Eno - Evening Star
Steve Reich - Electronic Counterpoint
Galaxie 500 - Today
 "I remember all those together and feeling for the first time I really knew
what my tastes were and how I wanted to play guitar. That was an exciting
feeling."

Carter -
Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans
 "Initially it would have to be [...] just because of the size of the album.
Four songs - four sides - it doesn't get any more excessive than that.

Felt - The Strange Idol and Other Patterns
 "Brilliant, just brilliant"

Of note is Mark's pre-Labradford band, Scaley Andrew. SA also included Andrew
Beaujohn (Eggs) and played very "un-American" fragile Felt-like pop.

Labradford's first 7" (of which only a mere handful were pressed!) contains an
unusually 'straight-forward' non-LP track called "Preserve the Sound Outside."
Very much the bridge between SA and Labradford's "Listening in Depth." Sounds
quite a bit like FSA's most ecstatic moments on _Further_. The other 7" track,
"Everlast," was tacked on to _Prasizion LP_.

***
new Labradford (s/t) due out on Kranky soon. they've added a Hammond organ and
violin to their sonic tools...

Subject: Anchorage Info...


from http://www.netville.de/music/labels/hyperium/artists/anchorage.html

ANCHORAGE formed in the beginning of 1990.

     Kai-Uwe Skerra and Heiko Nitsche planned to have a band on their own
after the participation in several projects. In 1991 guitar player Kai-Uwe
Saffran, lead vocalist Michael Liebetrau and female voice Angela Grahl
joined the group. This ment to be the first official formation and in 1993
they sent a demo tape to Hyperium.
     Shortly after the signing of a record deal with Hyperium they began
with the recording sessions for their debut album. Tranquilly the Maelstrom
Starts was released in 1994 and the press echo was mor than enthusiastic. Some
months later Michael Liebetrau, Angela Grahl and Kai-Uwe Saffran left
ANCHORAGE. But nothing could stop the rest of the band:
     With a bunch of gifted guest musicians they went in the studio. There
Kai-Uwe Skerra and Heiko Nitsche composed and recorded during 1995 the second
album The Bleak Wooden Tower with the help of the mentioned guests.
     With this one (which is more neo-classic than heavenly voices-style)
Hyperium establishes the NEW CLASSICS - a product line which gives the
listener realneo-classic sounds.

I don't see how it could have been from the tape since it sounded nearly
perfect.  I had the Carnage Visors/Curiosity Anomalies cd and all of the
songs on it sounded as good as I could have hoped.

i have it on two cd bootlegs.  one is called(i'm almost positive...
i can go home and check) "curiosity/anamolies" which i think has
"carnage visors" along with the extra songs from the _live 1984_ tape
and a few other rare songs.  the other disc is called something like
_b-sides 1980-1989_ which contains "carnage visors", the b-sides from
_three imaginary boys_ to _head on the door_, and "2late".  not sure
why it skipped the kiss me b-sides, but those along with the b-sides
from _disintegration_ to _wish_(i believe) or on another b-sides disc.
and yes, labradford sound very similiar to "carnage visors".

Subject: The pure-impure list (re-announcement)


Given the fast turnover on this list it's good to re-announce things
periodically, so...

I've started (with help from Jack Huynh) a new mailing list called
"pure-impure" (name stolen from Seefeel.) It's a spinoff of this list,
intended to cover music that mixes together elements of techno/ jungle/
ambient/ ethereal/ shoegazer/ dreampop/ noise/ drone/ dub, the more the
merrier. Seefeel, Laika, Flying Saucer Attack & spinoffs, Tricky,
Underworld, Massive Attack, Stereolab, Tortoise, anything on Kranky or
Thrill Jockey or VHF, et cetera. The labels "trip-hop" and "post-rock"
have been used for these sounds but I don't necessarily endorse those
names.

For more info, see:

    http://www.mooseyard.com/Jens/pure-impure/

Traffic has been moderate (averaging about 5 posts a day, I think) with
virtually no noise so far. See you there...

Feel free to forward this announcement to other forums where you think it
may be relevant.

        speaking of GusGus, 4ad were kind enough to send me a
        rather huge postcard featuring a photograph of the
        entire ensamble on the picture-side, and some info
        about their release on the flipside.

        this is EXACTLY what 4ad should be doing with the
        internet: i assume they got my address from the
        form on the site, or maybe from the card i sent back
        from the sleeve of 'shaving the pavement'..
        on a related note, Island sent me a RHP poster free
        just for visiting their site. it really makes a difference
        (all you corporate types out there, listen up!), and
        because of these simple acts of kindness i actually went
        out to get 'songs for a blue guitar,' and am contemplating
        a GusGus single or something...

        lesson learned: the more little promotional stuff you
        give away to fans, the more actively interested they
        become.   So here's a big cyber high-5 to 4AD!

Pale Saints but didn't know which one to get.  I have heard their stuff on this
tape that was recorded for me a while back but I only heard a limited amount of
songs and I don't know from which albums these songs I heard were taken from.
I think it was Comforts of Madness... or something like that.... ???
Anyway, could someone please give me their opinions as to what Pale Saints
album is worth getting at this time and, if possible, why.  I will eventually
have them all both Ian Masters era and In Ribbons era.  Thanks so much in
advance.
