No, _The Burden of Mules_ came out in 1983. _Lonely Is an Eyesore_,
on which "Cut the Tree" appears, came out in 1987. Not
contemporaneous at all. _Standing Up Straight_ came out in 1986,
while _The Big Sex_ ep came out in 1987. _The Big Sex_ is available
on disc on the Japanese 1987 12" anthology (very difficult to find and
very expensive if you do), and the _Birdwood Cage_ cd. While I
personally think that The Wolfgang Press are one of the greatest
bands ever, and that you can't go wrong with any of their albums, if
you are looking for something that is closest in sound and texture to
"Cut the Tree" then _Standing Up Straight_ is probably your best bet.
I should add, however, that I am of the opinion that "Cut the Tree"
is one of their worst songs, and one of the most straight-ahead they
had recorded, at least until 1990. If you're a Cocteaus fan then
_SUS_ has the added advantage of a very pretty collaboration with Liz
on the last track. Liz also sings backups on a song on one of the
eps compiled on the _Legendary Tales of the Wolfgang Press_ disc,
but that one is not so pretty--being a hilariously attrocious cover
of "Respect".
As far as _Burden of Mules_ is concerned, I think Mr. Borum ought to
give it a listen--rather harsh, being extremely derivative of early
PiL. But I like it all the same. If only Ivo would rerelease that
on cd instead of wasting his time with the Paladins....
Oh, and there's no way in hell I would ever part with *any* of my TWP
cds ;)

that was probably me.
but all my flailings about AtF and Lucid usually go ignored (and interpreted as

the first After the Flood album is probably LONG out of print. but you can try
to contact Clark Von Trotha c/o CZ records ([email protected]). if anyone can
get you one, he's the man.
the new Lucid is absolutely stunning, called _Idylls & the Secret Remain_,
packaged like a blessed work of art, and worth everyone's hard-earned cabbage.
i just went over-the-top praising it for AP #103 (March'97? April? who
knows!)... so look for that.

Much as it would be cool to have that happening, regarding the changing
pattern of activity across a set of non-linear things like neurons as
"digital" is a long way from the truth. The whole "brain is digital"
viewpoint is telling such a small part of the story that it's essentially
meaningless, or missing the point at best. Saying that the universe is
quantised is much the same, disregarding the fundamentally probabilistic
picture painted by quantum mechanics. Hard to get more analogue than an
interdependent net of probability amplitudes - the system is only quantised
in terms of the numbers which determine those probabilities.
I have no idea whether digital or analogue is cooler, since I seem to like
music that completely blurs that distinction these days.
Is this what I said last time this point came up? If so, sorry!
Cheers,
Matthew.

Oh, that's it. I *have* heard all this before.
But do you really think that saying that the brain/universe are quantized (and
therefore "digital") is "disregarding the fundamentally probabilistic picture
painted by quantum mechanics" ? I don't think so. It *would* be grossly naive
to think that because the universe (or some portion thereof) is made up of
quanta that we could perceive these quantized states as discontinuous. After
all, i can tell Clitus the slack jawed yokel that the cartoon that he just
appeared in was made up of several drawn frames displayed in rapid succession,
but that wouldn't mean that he would be able to perceive it as such. But for
Clitus to assert that his world is a continuous procession of fluid motion
(i.e., analogue) is just plain wrong.

Available from November 20, 1996...
Slash Records formed as an off-shoot of the infamous L.A. punk magazine
of the same name. In the beginning, Slash Records provided a means for a
few worthy bands to make records that the major labels deemed
"uncommercial", and has gone on to build a catalogue of landmark
records. Now, the Slash catalogue is available via London Records and
includes classic West Coast punk and essential top sellers. Several of
the initial titles including The Misfits, Germs and Dream Syndicate have
never been available on compact disc domestically. Other titles are
available via PolyGram Special Imports, with more to come in the new
year.
DREAM SYNDICATE Days Of Wine & Roses CD 422 828 038-2
The debut album from the Dream Syndicate, now available on CD for the
first time. "Living proof that indelible melodies and a solid back beat
will support a ton of feedback and white noise shenanigans. Great songs,
great band" - Don Waller, L.A. Times
FAITH NO MORE Introduce Yourself CD 422 828 051-2
This 1987 album introduced most people to Faith No More and their
powerful blend of heavy rock and rap with the track "We Care A Lot". The
album set the standard for the next decade.
GERMS M.I.A. CD 422 828 808-2
The progenitors of left coast punk, fronted by the prodigal son of pain
- Darby Crash. This album is ground zero for So Cal punk rock and the
fall-out is still with us today.
GRANT LEE BUFFALO Fuzzy CD 422 828 389-2
The first Grant record is chock full of hits yet to be discovered. This
CD has more sales left in it than there are shrimp in a shrimp farm.
THE MISFITS Walk Among Us CD 422 828 811-2
Led by Glenn Danzig, The Misfits were one of the most influential groups
in American hardcore. This is one of their best albums, available for
the first time on CD domestically. Includes "20 Eyes", "I Turned Into A
Martian", "Nike A Go Go", "Mommy Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight" and
"Brain Eaters".
VIOLENT FEMMES Violent Femmes CD 422 828 035-2
Their debut album and one of the best sellers in the catalogue. Includes
"Blister In The Sun" "The Femmes combine the conversational tone of
folkie Dylan with the wicked back hand of the best Lou Reed, all marked
by surprisingly catchy pop hooks" - Robert Palmer, New York Times
VIOLENT FEMMES Hallowed Ground CD 422 828 273-2
While the Violent Femmes first record was an out and out celebration of
the fullness of life, "Hallowed Ground" is an exploration of the
subliminal spiritual decay of our time, and is considered a masterpiece.

This 'Kraftwerk' album is positively the worst thing they've ever done.
Far better are:
The Sultan's Picnic (with Rabih Abou-Khalil) which is a mix of arabic
and string quartet, and
The Last Days, which is a collection of Gavin Bryars' work, and
Possessed, which is a jumble of their own and other people's gubbins.

hello
I am currently in the process of setting up a web-site called 'Blistering
Barnacles' to provide net users access to a database full of information
about UK indie/alternative record labels & artists.
The purpose of this site will be to display artist's full discographies
including record availability status indicating those products that are
still available in record shops and those that have been deleted.
In order to achieve this I'm after as much discographical information on
any UK indie/alternative labels or artists as possible and would greatly
appreciate any help that could be supplied (cat numbers, formats, release
dates, titles, track listings etc).
Previous experience with most record labels has proved un-helpful to say
the least so contact addresses (snail or E mail) for any fan
clubs/information services could also be useful.
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, i quite like the Balenescu Quartet performing Nyman's string quartet
pieces. This work (the only i've heard by BQ) is quite a bit different from
Rachels in that they make wonderful use of repetetition and dissonance whereas
Rachels just seemed ... well ... Zzzz ... oh, yeah, where was i? ... it just
seemed a tad uninteresting and meandering.
I do recommend other Nyman works (you can't avoid 'em in Greenaway films) as
well as Hector Zazou's earlier CDs, Geographies and Geologies, which are very
much in the post-modern nouveau classical vein.

OK, here's a short tutorial on where to get a good filtering email

For the Mac users in the audience, Claris is now giving Emailer away for

Emailer does have mail filters, and although they're not the most
