sound. and if anyone happens to have a copy of that album for sale please let
me know.

Nope, it doesn't go in cycles. This time it's the real thing. The golden
age is over and all that's left to listen to is video game music.
No, I am not kidding.

My thoughts exactly...I found myself struggling to like the disc. It
seemed like something I ought to like, but I just couldn't pull it off.
The songs themselves are trash, yes, but the production is also sloppy.
Only buy this disc if the basic formula of Curve's "sound" is enough to
do the trick for you.
Also, the artwork is horrid. There is no excuse for that kind of
work--not from anyone.
Does anyone know if Scylla is still going on? Halliday and Moulder must
be on decent terms because he mixed the single. The one Scylla track I've
heard was very good and it would be a shame to waste that for the sake of
this nonsense.
To be fair, a lot of Curve songs are rubbish so maybe there is some gold
in their future still.
(That's me being optimistic, folks. Don't be alarmed.)

um, eost discography, i'll try...
fluidum trancentauri - three tracks (all recorded for a peel
session)(there's a copy in oxford street virgin megastore i saw last
week, 4 pounds, 6 dollars(?). i'll be there again tomorrow night...)
free-d - which you already know and love, beepy echoey stuff, sounds of
space (with added birdsong)
astralavista ep (remixes from free-d) - local shop had copies in it's
closing down sale. gone now though (the records and the shop, turned
from an our price to a virgin and, well, i used to complain about our
price but the new one is even worse and sells nothing but chart fodder,
i've bought exactly 3 things in there in the 6 weeks it's been open.)
there was also an lp out on some czech label before fluidum, don't
remember the name, couldn't find my tape of it when eric was asking
about it but i do remember who i got it off. this is a lot grimier than
free-d, much less sequenced and electronic. not bad though.
and that, i think, is all.

sorry, replying to old messages before reading the followups is a stupid
idea - repeated information. (btw my friend's copy of susurate was
brought back from prague, never saw a copy for sale in england).
new stereolab ep out today. nice orange and yellow sleeve. 'pinball' is
'heavenly van halen' with a different name, 'you used to call me
sadness' is the same track as that fuxa split single and 'soop groove
#1' is meant to be a 15 minute jam of some sort. title track,
'fluorescences' is probably the least interesting of the 4.
new pram ep out today too, also on duophonic. peel played 'silver
nitrate' the other day and it sounded to me like the best thing they've
done (and oddly familiar - probably from seeing them live twice in the
summer). poppy, catchy but still undeniably pram.
quickspace lp out today too but this, along with the new belle and
sebastian lp (and the pram single) will have to wait until i'm somewhere
with a better choice of records for sale. (tomorrow night on my way to
see trembling blue stars (5th time this year) probably, failing that
wednesday afternoon on the way to see stereolab (4th time this year))

Despite all the negative press, I am going ot see Mazzy Star in two weeks
here in Philly. I think the key to not being let down by their live show
is to have your expectations set for a mellow laid back kind of show of
intense music instead of commanding stage presence...
it is afterall not the singer but the song!
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 09:35:27 -0500
Well, I think "The Burden of Mules" is the LP contemporaneous to "Cut the
Tree", so it probably sounds like that. I actually have "The Burden of
Mules", but it's on vinyl, and I don't have a turntable, so I've never been
able to listen to it. I know...an inexcusable travesty.

Hope Sandoval is certainly out of the ordinary in person - as
far as middling rock-stars go. No forced smiles, no phoniness, no bull.
In point of fact she is also really nice, as she put myself and several
friends on the guest list to a sold-out show in Boston last year, simply
because we asked (after bumping into her at a local record shop the day of
the show). I am certain Mazzy Sar as a live act would be world-alteringly
good, if you were lucky enough to accidentally stumble opon them playing
under a pseudonym at some god-forsaken, half-empty roadhouse in the Nevada
desert one friday night. However, seeing them in the context of an
alterna-rock night out at some sweaty rock club in Chicago - they will
almost definitely suck a little bit (sorry Hope!). I think they know this,
and are a little contemptuous of the mobs of Jocks and Jockettes that turn
up to see them these days.
In short, the bandmembers that make up Mazzy Star are way too cool to be
seen at a Mazzy Star concert. The records sure are dreamy though...

Okay, now this is the first I've ever heard of Scylla. Who else
participated in this "project"? (And it was originally formed as a
touring band?) Is their sole output the track on the "Showgirls"
soundtrack? *shudder* And so how does Scylla compare to Curve?
(Heheheheheh...can you tell my car is in the shop and I'm bored

For lack of anything musical to discuss this morning..
Why is everyone so bothered by k-j's little "cutesy flakiness"?
I , for one, kinda enjoyed the narrative when I read the original message.
And by the way k-j, you wouldn't be a "magic" adept would you? 'Cause that's wha
I kinda inferred from the conversation.

I just saw the Maids of Gravity/RHP show last night here in Dallas. RHP
headlined and played for about 2 hrs. They even played "don't fear the
reaper" twice.....They mostly played old songs and a few new ones...

Will everyone put this ugly duckling of an album on hold, please?
Every analysis languishes in obtuse generalization. And if not this malaise
then it drowns in the sentimentality of nostalgia.
This album is tacking through the same latitude... let's finding something
else to talk about.

And well. I saw them live at the House of Blues here in LA about 5 or 6
months back, and it was really fun. Granted, the new band members didn't
know "Swans on Glass", which kinda reeked, but I still thoroughly enjoyed
myself.
By the way, did anyone else see Modern English on Clueless last week?
Does anyone else in the country besides me watch Clueless?

Judgement of paris is no more. I bumped into Christian(aka) the vocalist who
is an old acquaintance.at the His name ia alive show in Mpls. He told me
about his and former JOP member Joel Hansons new project (whose name escapes
me at the moment). I went to see them a month ago at First ave where they
opened for the Red House Painters and John Cale.The music is more guitar folk
oriented and they had a wonderful female singer but retained their dark
chords and mood. Hey, have you heard of a group called Lycia if not you
should definately ck. it out.
