hi jeremy (hey, glad to have you back! come over to pure-impure where
things are really lovely...) & all the rest of you 4ad-slags :)....
the release you saw the ad for is the famed sartre project. the title is
"la tragedie d'oreste et electre" (forgive the missing accents) and was
inspired by sartre's "les mouches". this was recorded around the time of
"loved" and is mostly orchestral pieces with ali speaking french over it.
quite nice. this was released last spring in very limited quantities but
it seems to have gotten us-distribution and can be found just about
anywhere (including tower).
the cranes are currently working on a new album (i think it is the
post-production stages at this point) to be called "population four". the
tracklisting along with a really lovely picture of ali can be found at
dedicated's website (www.dedicated.co.uk).

Not necessarily. It depends on the particular laws of the state you live
in. Democracy only defines how laws are made and government chosen. There
are democracies where what you've said is entirely possible (try
Singapore or Canada) and those where freedom of speech is extended to
all, such as the USA. Note that "hate" cuts both ways. As an anarchist
you probably hate the police (at least if you're like most anarchists...)
Maybe you'd like to write an article about why you hate the police. Oops,
according to your own standards you would not be allowed to publish it.
>...in the system I understand under anarchy nobody can have power over
>other people (there is no governement so what kind of power can they have?)
Please! Government is the only kind of power? This is the mistake most
anarchists make. If thugs break down my door and aim Uzis at me, that's
power. If a corporation dumps toxic waste in my front yard, that's power.
If the Mob extorts money from me to permit my business to stay open,
that's power. If someone spreads lies about me and the neighbors drive me
out of town, that's power. Gosh, who's going to protect me from stuff
like that? Could it be ... a government?

>this is impossible in anarchy bevcause nobody can govern and control.
If nobody can govern/control, that's because some power structure is
preventing them; therefore by definition you don't have an anarchy. An
anarchy is simply a power vacuum. Humans hate power vacuums, at least
those humans who aren't anarchists. An anarchy is going to last for about
ten minutes before someone moves in and takes control. Somalia is a great
example of this (a pickup truck with a machine gun on the back, aka a
"technical", is a great localized source of power.) Eastern Zaire is
currently another excellent example. Is the UN going to take power, or
Zaire's army, or the Rwandan gov't, or the exiled Hutus, or Zairean
rebels? I don't know, but it's a sure bet that at least _one_ of them
will.

hi all...
i recently got the new bowery electric album and i'm, sad to say"
less than impressed. some of the songs are quite beautiful, but on
the whole, most of the music there sounds like the skeletons of songs
that they didn't have time to quite finish. the foundations are
there, but some of the songs just don't seem to go anywhere for me. i
had read that their first album was VERY similar to slowdive's "just
for a day" era, so i was kind of hoping that would hold true for this
album. how does their first album rate when compared to "beat", for
those who've heard both?
has anyone heard the new labradford? what do you think?

For those of you in the bay area that hadn't heard, Red House Painters are
playing at the Great American Music Hall on Dec. 22nd. I have a couple of
questions, though:
1) They are playing with Maids of Gravity. Can someone tell me a little
about them and what they sound like?
2) Are they going to be playing a show in LA around the same time?

I've not heard this new 'Beat', but I'll chime in to say that BE's first
disc wasnt a show stopper on the first couple of listens... Its rather
subtle, and doesnt have songs that immediately grab you or come to any
grand conclusions... but it is wondewrful in its own way. Now I'm very
curious about this second disc!

i just got a letter from kjol and andersson about gusgus that confirmed a
release of 'believe' in europe in feb 97' - also 'polydistortion'
(rerelease of debut album w/changes) will be released worldwide via 4ad on
march 24th, 97'. the letter also mentioned something about a short film
that was released w/ polyesterday in europe (video perhaps??)... does
anyone in europe know anything about this??

I was quite surprised when I saw this video yesterday on MTV (europe).
it was about one minute long and the only title was: FUTURE SOUND OF
LONDON AND DEAD CAN DANCE. no song or album title. but what I had
gathered from the confused presenter was that the video was part of
soundtrack that FSOL made for a short film (I forget what it's called).
the video itself was just lots of mixed colours, keleidoscope style, and
I hadn't noticed anything new from DCD, just a remix from The Serpent's
Egg. that's all I know.

Hey out there!
I was wondering if anyone out there has any RHP bootlegs that they'd like
to share. I don't have any myself but I would be willing to copy anything
from shoegazer days of olde that people might be looking for!
Let me know... thanks

I don't know why people "spend so much time worrying about what they
listen too"? what's to worry, if you like it, listen to it, if not, then
don't. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean it sucks. To
place value on anything as personal as music is a toughie. I review CD's
at a local college station and present my opinion, but everyone know that
all reviews and or opinions (as there is precious little objectivity in
most things relating to music, movies, food, or anything else that relies
almost entirely on one's personal feelings) are to be taken with a grain
of salt. I guess what I'm trying to say is that people to take it a bit
to seriously.
Obviously I'm a fan of a certian genre of music or I wouldn't
have subscribed to the 4ad mailing list. But I just think saying that
music I don't like isn't music or good for someone's elses enjoyment it
making a judgement that's not mine to make. Or I'd be no better than any
of the senior citizens I know that still claim that all rock isn't music.
