Woo-hoo! here here for more Lois talk! I think she would fit in very
nicely with the 4AD artists if Calvin had not given her a very nice home in
Olympia on K. I, too, have *heard* of this song, but I have no idea what it
is. I know she has just released a new album, infinity something or rather
and a nice lil' EP, snapshot radio. If anyone's interested, I can post
reviews later...

I just picked up "Distant Station" by Tele:Funken/Flying Saucer Attack.
Can anybody out there tell me more about Tele:Funken? It appears that
this is entirely constructed from FSA samples. Thanks.

i picked up snapshot radio after hearing about the low connection. the
ep is excellent and the five songs on it are all different in feel,
unlike low(not a slam on low). didn't know about the album, but i plan
on picking it up now.
a review of the album would be cool, lisaroo...

Hi All -
In response to Aaron Hill's question about Tarnation's review in the NME, I
have posted it from the NME's website. I've also included the Laika review as
well, as I thought it may be of interest. (apologies if this has been posted
already, I'm a digest listee)

TARNATION
There's Someone
(4AD)
"... Paula Fraser has a voice sent down from heaven,
somewhere just west of Nashville, Tennessee. She
greets
1997 in incongruously rollicking vein with this
whooshingly
dramatic rollercoaster of clanging surf guitar and
reverb-drenched yodelling. A beaut."
LAIKA
Breather
(Too Pure)
"... Laika's glacially pure whispers and fetchingly
tangled
percussive rattles probably reach no further than
rarefied
art-rock fetishist circles. This preview of their
imminent
second album is something of a low-key charmer, just a
lush production and an obvious chorus away from
mainstream jazz-funk accessibility. Which is perhaps
the
way Laika like it."

Hi there.
My name is Baldur Stef=E1nsson and I=B4m one of the Gus Gus members. For
those of you who are interrested to come to Iceland I just wanted to
express the low prices that we can get. It=B4s pounds (=A3) 220.- for the
flights from the cities that Cliff Walton from 4AD mentioned in his
letter on the 13th of january and pounds (=A3) 35.- (pr. room, single or
double) for the night in a hotel in Reykjavik. Tickets to the concert
are pounds (=A3) 15.- This is going to be one crazy weekend in the
frozen north.
Greetings,

hey for all you Godzuki fans, and for fans of good pop music in general,
i just got the March Records double CD "Pop American Style"...good good
music from all bands like Godzuki, Holiday, Rocketship, Flowchart, and
lots more. Oh, and there's this pretty amazing song by a band called
Salteen (who has since broken up) that you should hear (ok, so i happen
to be in a band called AERODROME (memorize the name...we're gonna be
famous one day) with the lead singer who has a GREAT GREAT voice, so
what? it's still a good song!)...ok, enough of the shameless plug...

I guess Lois is a bit "thislisty" in a way. Jenny Toomey's (Liqourice)
label, Simple Machines, released a Lois 7" (or a split 7", actually) for
their Working Holiday series. Also, Lois' old band, Courtney Love (NOT
the singer...the BAND...Lois and Courtney were once roommates) have a
song on the Teenbeat 50 CD, released by Marky Mark Robinson...so i guess
she's kinda this listy..
Anyway, I don't have "Infinity Plus", but she mostly played all the songs
from it when i saw her live. She also had Damon Locks (formerly of
Trenchmouth) join her on stage for a song. It sounded really good. For
those of you who are interested in picking up one of her albums, she has
4 now, i guess...Butterfly Kiss (with Stuart Moxham of Young Marble
Giants producing and playing bass), Strumpet (with help from Donna Dresch
and some guy from Codeine), Bet the Sky, and the new album. Plus some
EP's scattered here and there. I would recommend Strumpet or Butterfly
Kiss. BK is mostly acoustic and pretty, while Strumpet rocks a bit more,
and has more "hit" songs. Oh yeah, and please post a review of the new
one....
AND, for those of you who don't know Trenchmouth, they are this very
dubby band (at least there final album, The Broadcasting System was),
VERY VERY VERY much in the vain of Too Pure....with the wacky bass lines
and sampled drums and all that. Anyone into Laika (except Trenchmouth
has a male singer) and Long Fin Killie should definitely check out this
band! You would not be dissappointed at all...
Always available for useless info,
Matt

High to all listies:
I'm thrilled, excited, and more than happy to announce, that as from =
March 1997, B.N.E. Records will be officialy the 4AD and Beggars Banquet
licencees in Israel.
I've been on this list for several months now (although not so active), =
enjoying the debates as well as the information passed.
As label manager for these labels, I hope I will be able to contribute =
more to this list, and of course to bring this brilliant music to as =
many people as possible (even in a small territory as Israel).
Peace & love to all,
Eitan.
