Heavenly Bodies are defunct band with some 4AD connection.Pinker (or was it
Ullrich) collaborated on earlier DCD albums. Couple songs from their album
"Celestial" on C'est la Mort were produced by Robin Guthrie.
Kinda falls into the class of synth-based "beautiful female ethereal
vocals" bands, above the average. Singer Caroline Seaman appeared on one of
"Heavenly voices" compilations more recently.

A question regarding these elusive compilations.....
In regards to Natures Mortes...Still Lives, I was wondering what someone (if
anyone) paid for this in the past few months....just a curiosity
And about Presages (which too is quite rare, but not as Natures Mortes... I
believe), I was wondering since no one had mentioned it recently if anyone
had one that they wished to sell, trade...etc.
thanks!

The new "mini-catalogue" up to Nov 1996 lists the catalogue for 2 pounds plus
post and packaging. The whole thing cost me about 3.40 pounds when I got it, so
3.40 at the pound/dollar exchange rate will determine whether $10 is expensive o
not...

Wow, so there was actual writing buried in there? After two screens of
pretty graphics that took forever to load, I was beginning to think it
was one of those puzzle boxes which hold a series of smaller boxes
inside, which just gave the MSN folks time to scan my hard drive for
illegal software while I was logged into their site. Not that I'm
paranoid or anything...
On a completely unrelated note, while I was at my parents' place for the
Xmas holidays, I retrieved (among other things) my copy of the fourth Dr.
Death sampler from C'est la Mort, _The Marvels of Insect Life_. Although
there's a lot of crap on there, there are several really good songs,
including the only tolerable song ever recorded by The Millions. The one
that caught my eye this time was a band called Critical Mass. When this
comp came out in 1991, the names Margaret Fiedler and Andy Ramsey meant
nothing to me, but this time, they reached off the CD booklet and smacked
me. Critical Mass was Lincoln Fong on vocals & guitar and Russel Fong on
guitar, with Fiedler (Moonshake/Laika) on bass and Ramsey (Stereolab) on
drums. Truthfully, it's pretty bad, kinda like a slow, bluesy Buzzcocks
in 6/8. Kind of interesting, though, from a *cough* historical
perspective. Equally weird is the inclusion of Magnetic Fields' "Crowd
of Drifters". Well, maybe not so much the inclusion, but the fact that
they're referred to as "Ephe Merrit" and "Susan Maronno". Weird.

For any caring and sympathetic person out there...
I was looking for a copy of His Name is Alive - King of Sweet. It
being 2 and a half years after the fact of its 2000 copy limited
edition release, I know it is probably a desperate and worthless
thing to even send this email. Never stopped me before. So... if
anyone just happens to have a copy that they can get a hold of for me
or one that they will part with, I would be most appreciative if you
sent email to me personally about it. No need to clutter the list up
with needless mail about my need. Thanks for your time in this matter
of desperation.

Ah, poor soul. The torment you must be going through! I think there are
about sixty people on this list in your same predicament. A copy of
Helleborine is one of those urban legends that old grey listies tell their
grandchildren about. In short, you'd have more luck finding a copy than
getting Beavis and friend off the airwaves.
As to Caroline Crawley.. last I heard she was engaged to same Boris of Cure
noteriety (sic) and they were set to honeymoon in India.. maybe someone
else can provide more of an update?
Oh, and if you *do* find a copy and an extra one, give me a ring. I, too
have been searching for quite a while.

Hi
Yesterday I heard of a CD which is a hommage to Joy Division, including
Lows Version of "Transmission". Is the rest of the CD as good as this song?

I like this album too but I her later album "the marble index" is not only her b
st
work, but is also john cale's best work as musical producer. totally different f
om
"chelsea girls", the songs all have a gothic eastern europe feel as nico is sawi
g
two chords on a strange sounding harmonica, and cale adds his usual mix of scary
horns and strings. her voice is already thicker than on "chelsea girls" which on
y
adds to the atmosphere. "roses in the snow" is the *the* song for a cold, dark
afternoon.

Ah, _Helleborine_. This is humorous. Four years ago as I was just
discovering Shelleyan Orphan a friend of mine GAVE me his copy of
_Helleborine_ as he didn't like it.

If you're talking about about the tribute cd, it is ok. Low, Moby, and
Codeine are the best on the album. Some of the "punked" up versions are ok
if you're into that.
Now, if you are talking about Low being as good as the song, definately
YES!!!!
Go get everything Low has ever done and just mellow out.
If you want a good (great) Joy Division tribute cd, go out and get
"Ceremony," a really good tribute album with Ikon, Opium Den, Lycia, etc. It
is much more like the Low part of the other.
