Interesting viewing this Sunday night on television...  MuchMusic was
running a full six or eight odd hours of highlights from last years
Glastonbury Festival where Belly contributed a fine performance and on
MTV's M2 off-shoot channel, an interesting programming scheme of running
alternating Lush and Bush videos for an hour.  It was odd to see "For
Love" then a Bush vid then "Sweetness And Light" then a Bush vid then
"Hypocrite" followed by a Bush vid.  Odd way of programming videos but
then that's what you get from M2.

Also, in the current ish of Interview, Lush is included among "the top
20 women in rock" article and Ray Gun has a nice (though obviously
dated) interview with Lush.  Nice article on Mazzy star, too...

Yes i saw the M2 hour of lush/bush...and i really enjoyed it..  i mean, here
i am in mexico, where i get all this really REALLY bad music all day,
besides the stuff i brought which i am tired of, and then this hour of power
comes on...  the only one i didnt enjoy was for love....never really cared
for this song... but ladykillers, Sweetness and light, De-luxe, Hypocrite
and one other i think, was good enuff for this fan.  it was intersting
looking for Chris...he seemed to really enjoy hisself on all the vids...such
a shame...:(...anyhow...M2 is a rather good station when it wants to be....I
really enjoy Orbitals, the box...  very imaginitive video, and a good song!
And Chem bros song, which i forget right now.  Just wish they would have a
CT hour or something....But with so many different channels to choose from,
m2 is hardly my choice.  But still worthwhile on them "nutting on the tv but
golf and bowling" sundays.

  Ive spoken too much...

Mazzy Star... I saw them performing live a few days ago in Amsterdam. Hope
was very pissed off from the beginning because there were a few 'sounds'
coming from her microphone that she didn't produce. She stopped singing for
about three times during the one hour concert. They played the other songs
just like the cd versions. Sometimes it was just if you were watching a cd,
you couldn't see them well because they don't like stage lights I think. At
the end I wondered why they do live concerts in the first place... they
didn't seem to enjoy it very much.

But the latest album is very good.

Subject: Gus Gus == Good Good


Well, finally managed to get a copy of this gem in musically
impoverished Copenhagen (Each store seems to import one copy
of the single at a time), and I must say I am not
disappointed.  The only weak point in the music IMHO is the
vocals, which do not really grab me, but then there are so
many other levels to the music that I really don't mind.
It's hard to describe this music without resorting to "it
sounds like Portishead done by Wolfgang Press", but try:
funky, trippy, chewy.

The remixes are even more interesting than the A-side.  They
are chock full of sleepy, chunky percussion substitutes (ie.
not from a drum, and in this respect they resemble Global
Communication), and the whole sounds at times as though the
signal from a distant FM station is fading in and out in a
most pleasing fashion.  Despite the fact that my description
makes it sound like low-fidelity noise, the result is best
appreciated on a really good sound system at high volume,
the better to hear all the nuances.  Recomended for those
who like sounds that sound good.

Where do we get more of this?  I don't do vinyl, so I guess
I'll have to wait a while.  Are there any Icelandic releases
to track down?

grant..

i was at tower the other day and saw a belly guitar tab book for the album star.
it was about $20US. if anyone wants me to pick it up for them i should be in
that vicinity next week, though if it can be found at one tower it should be
easy to find at any of them. i DID pick up the queen deluxe anthology
piano/vocal/guitar book though. brilliant stuff!

in the movie Nadja, there is the beginning of this verve song that's played
twice and i absolutely love it. i can't remember the name of it though; can
anyone tell me what album it's from and if i can expect similar sounds from the
verve? it was very reverb-y/shoegazy.

thanks in advance,

I envy that you saw them live in the first place!  I think Hope is
essentially a real shy person despite what outfits she's wearing in that
Ray Gun article.  I'm hoping they get to play here, even if it is like
watching a CD...

 Could it possibly be on the new Tindersticks album, "Soundtrack to
 Nenette & Boni"?  (They did the whole soundtrack).

Not sure if these are the Virgin Compilations that were mentioned before,
but they do have some really gret music on them... however more in the
vein of ambeint/techno... although their selection of music is REALLY
broad and does not by any means stay within the cliched boundaries of
most ambient techno... There's some stuff thats more this-listie, and
there's a lot of strange combinations of world music and dub, a lot
of really interesting Eno/Fripp/Brook tracks too.

Anyway, there have been four of them:
Ambient 'a brief history of ambient - vol. one'
Ambient 2 'Imaginary Landscapes'
Volume 3 - 'The Music of Changes'
Ambient 4 - 'Isolationism'

IMHO Ambient 2 and Volume 3 are the best in the series. 'Isolationism'
has a lot more minimal music on it - stuff by Aphex Twin, Seefeel,
Labradford, Zoviet France etc...

Virgin was also responsible for the "OCEANS OF SOUND" coumpliation which
is another very interesting VERY diverse concoction of sounds and music.

hope this was helpful

The self-titled debut album was released in Iceland by Kjol & Andersson late
last year / early this. It has twelve tracks, including the original version of
Polyesterday. Each CD came in a velour wrap printed with the gus gus logo in
black on either peachy-pink, green or white. There may be other colours, but
those are the only three I've seen. According to Rich Holzman, the 4AD release
will be extensively different to the Icelandic one.

Full tracklisting:

Gun / Barry (White Pride) / Polyester Day / Chocolate / Oh / Why? / Believe /
Cold Breath '79 / Rememberance / Is Jesus Your Pal? / Message From Disney /
Purple

As you probably know there are also two 4AD twelve inch promos of Polyesterday
and Chocolate.

They could at least have thrown in some Rush for the sake of variety. No,
wait...that's a terrible idea.

Miki also appears as part of a collage on the cover of "Arranging for Rock,
Pop and Jazz" (I think that's the title) by Daryl Runswick. No mention of
Lush (or any other band) inside, however.

The song is "One Way To Go" from the single "All In The Mind" and the
compilation "No Come Down". Too bad there isn't a Nadja soundtrack;
among others, it featured My Bloody Valentine, Portishead, and even the
original version of that alternative radio hit "In The Meantime" by
Space Hog.

greetings dave.
i have not seen the movie, but if it was indeed an album track, it may have
come from their 'a storm in heaven' album, which is on hut/vernon yard (and
is 'very reverb-y/shoegazy'!).

actually, there is a "nadja" soundtrack.  however, from what i've
read, it's the orchestral score, so it probably doesn't have the mbv,
portishead, verve, etc. tracks.  it's done by simon fisher turner and
features string arrangements, mixed with source recordings and dialogue
from the movie and is supposed to be quite lovely.  it was released on
some label called gyroscope, i believe.

No, it isn't.  Orbus Terrarum has a detail of an old map on the cover and
several good tracks, including one co-produced by Kris Needs (of Secret
Knowledge fame.)  You're thinking of the "Food Ep" thing and I agree that
it is boring and useless.
