YES!  I only wish it was a channel I could get on cable.  Having access

guy named Boik talking about 4AD and holding up Xmal Deutschland and Dif

I don't recall what song that was; I stopped keeping track of Verve after
their first album. IMHO, if you want the best, most shoegazy Verve stuff
you should pick up their earlier material, much of which is collected on
"The Verve EP". Several really brilliant tracks, even if they omitted the
superior long version of "She's a Superstar". My ears detect a strong
Pink Floyd influence (circa "Meddle") which is just fine with me. Their
later stuff, starting with "A Storm In Heaven" started to sound in many
ways too U2-like, particularly the vocals.

Tindersticks have released a new album which is actually the soundtrack =

it was released on their own label - This Way Up ( as all their albums ) =

The cover shows a rabbit standing between a woman's legs, probably a =

The album is rather very short compared to other tindersticks releases, =

Brilliant as they have always been, this album keeps up with their =

Subject: Seefeel


 "New" "album" out now on Rephlex - actually it was recorded (according
 to someone on usenet) at the same time as "Succour", and it is only 35
 minutes long with 6 tracks, so it is not new and barely an album.  The
 time of recording seems about right - "the Seefeel release on Rephlex"
 hasn't been anticipated for quite as long as the new MBV album, but
 almost.

 6 tracks - one is a version of "Utreat", and the other five are like
 the quieter moments of "Succour".  "Ashdecon", on first listen, is the
 only track showing signs of genius, but the others are pretty good and
 it took me a while to get into "Succour".  Shame about the price and
 length, though.

 Oh, and I found a Jessamine/Transparent Thing split single (Jessamine
 track is a live-to-cassette recording, bass-heavy but quite good), and
 Seely have a 7" out, "Meteor Storm" with a B-side which wasn't on the
 promo CD I was sent recently by those lovely people at Too Pure USA.
 "Wind and Would", I think it's called, and it is not all that good,
 singing sounds a bit out of tune to me.  PURE 63, I think, which means
 that I am now going to get paranoid about missing a Mouse on Mars
 release or something.

 Part of the same series - which now includes compilations of
 jazz-rock, sixties soul, Japanese noise-rock, and others.  Plus
 original albums by Sufi, Techno Animal and Paul Schutze.  Most of the
 tracks on "Isolationism" are exclusive to that compilation, unlike the
 previous three which are compiled solely from Virgin's back-catalogue.
 I think someone else has already mentioned the space/drone/post-rock
 "Monsters, Robots and Bug Men" set.

 Yes - not really worth the money in my view.  "Crooning on Venus" is a
 second double CD to accompany the book, of David Toop's favourite vocal
 performances (includes Liz F/FSOL, Sheila Chandra, Stina N and other
 list favourites).  The book is unfocussed (perhaps deliberately), and
 it's difficult to tell what Toop's exact point is, other than the fact
 that there are many different ways to experience music/sound.  Nice
 compilations, though.

No, I was still living out in the prairies of Alberta when that tour
happened.  I missed YEARS of gigging and I'm only just starting to catch
up on some much needed concerts.  It's so nice to live in a city where
bands coming to town is a regular thing not some divine event...
although having His Name Is Alive AND Red House Painters on the same
bill is pretty darn close to divine!

just some trivial rambling about mazzy in concert...

The massey hall show in toronto was somewhat similar(to the previous
message's).  mazzy star opened for the cocteau twins on the heaven or las
vegas tour.  they were excellent, until the ground hum coming from roback's
guitar was too much for he and hope to handle.  the roadies attempted to
fix it while they played, but after five minutes, hope got really pissed
and left the stage(after she said 'you guys are shit').  the band continued
to play for about two more minutes as the roadies still tried to fix the
amp buzz, then roback(is it david? i can't remember) slammed his guitar
into his amps and stormed off also.  it was really disappointing because
the few songs they managed to get through were excellent.  i hope to see
them again sometime, with a longer set...

also, the cocteau twins were simply fantastic!  they played everything i
wanted to hear plus some...
