I suspect sarcasm. But my favorite DCD album is In the Realm of the Dying
SUn. I like everything they ever put out. Their first album is not liked by
alot of people because they were just searching for a sound at that time.
But, there are some great songs on it and the ep. I would just wait till
you get everything else, then get it.

As promised, here is some more information on Tarnation's new release =
(April '97) - Mirador. This is taken from 4ad's promo pages. I've picked =
the information concerning the music, but there's a lot more on those =
pages on the band's history and influences. there's a lot to read, and I =
apologize on the length of this.
"with the same line-up consolidating around former member Paula, the =
darkly-brooding laments are more intense, the spooked guitar twangs more =
haunting, the rhythmic backdrop tougher, and the strength and range of =
Frazer's exquisite voice captured with greater clarity. After Lincoln =
Allen, Michelle Cemuto and Matt Sullivan left the band to start another, =
Frazer was introduced to Oropeza and drummer Joe Byrnes, who's own trio =
Broken Horse gives the boys their own creative outlet, leaving Paula =
free to run the roost - the new album Mirador is solely her songs and =
vocals but ironically, Tarnation sounds much more like a group. The =
fourth member, Dublin bassist/multi-instrumentalist Jamie Meagan, is =
Paula's partner, who she met at work - her as an archeologist, he as a =
construction worker. In these hands, Tarnation dynamics have quadrupled =
- they're just as likely to rock out (as on "An Awful Shade Of Blue", =
"Your Thoughts And Mine", the album one cover version "Little Black =
Egg", and the first single from Mirador "There's Someone") as they are =
supping from the ballad-heavy well of loneliness. Even in her most =
lamenting form - "Christine", "Like A Ghost", "Wait" and "Idly", then =
they are songs that can soothe, not break, your own lonely heart.=20
Tarnation is slang for "hell", says Frazer. I chose the name because =
it's a comical and dark name at the same time. Sometimes there can be =
humour in sadness.
There are twelve sublime tracks in Mirador, but Tarnation have included =
two extra hidden tracks - one a haunting, soul-on-fire shanty, Paula's =
wordless whistling sands moan lulling you to put it out in a watery =
grave, and an extended sequel to "Gentle Creatures" - "The Well". "
There's a lot more on Frazer's musical education and influences, but =
that's another time. As for my personal thoughts on this album (and I =
know you can't share this with me yet), it's haunting magic. something =
like The Bad Seeds without Nick Cave who gave up for Paula's songs. =
brilliant guitar work, and you all know Paula's voice, which became more =
powerful and clear. haven't seen the art work for the album yet, and I =
left the tracklisting at work, so ther's still more to come. again, =
sorry about the length of all this.

I happen to think their self titled album is the best stuff they've done
to date. That album and the one with "Echolalia" are good....i keep
forgetting the name of that one....

the only other low album i have is "i could live in hope" and it's
excellent. the basic formula is the same, but "i could..." seems a
little warmer to me. it's not lo-fi at all, but the production(like
everything with low) is still minimal. if you liked "the curtain...",
then it's a pretty safe bet that you'll like "i could..."

It was reported in Alternative Press about two months ago that the
surviving three members were indeed back together and recording with
Michael Lee on drums, who played on Robert Plant & Jimmy Page's last
"unplugged" tour.
All together now...*ugh*
You know, _Reverberation_ was actually a pretty good album. I've always
thought it would be interesting to see what would have happened if
they'd gone under another name for that album. And seeing as how most
(3/5) of the band was new to E&tB as of that album, they should've done
it anyway, but alas, they didn't consult me.

I just received my copy of this CD today. I am even currently
listening to it. My thanks go out to [email protected] for
sending me the information that allowed me to purchase this CD mail
order from a store near his work. All I can say is that when I
started to seriously try to track this CD down a month ago, I got a
lot of email saying to give it up and have a friend dub it because it
is impossible to find. I even got email from someone that was willing
to burn a CD copy of it for me. Thanks for the offer, but I wanted a
numbered original (NUMBA:1226). So for all of those HNiA fans out
there still desperately searching for a copy, if you are persistant,
you will find one. Good luck! Just so you know... I got mine for $16.
98 + $5.00 shipping. I was ready and prepared to pay $50 for a used
copy if I needed to. Bubye...
Ryan ([email protected]) who has King of Sweet and after I
get some money, will be desperately seeking Moose and Comsat Angels
albums...

For anyone who has purchased "The Curtain Hits the Cast," PLEEAASSEEE
do yourself and buy their second release, "Long Division." IMO it is
their finest album so far. It's all very melodic and beautiful with
amazing production by Kramer. The album is veru much in the vein of
"Over the Ocean" and "The Plan" from "The Curtain Hits the Cast." The
fist song from it, "Violence" is quite possibly my favorite song by
them with "Stay" running a close 2nd.
GET IT SOON!!!

Is this a new compilation or something? I haven't heard about it.
July 96 is quite a while ago. Is it just being released now?
I'll bet it is a Europe only thing, like FTWW.

Personal opinion. Try listnening their stuff in this order: "Spleen and
Ideal", "Within the realm of a dying sun" and their first CD: "Dead can
Dance".
Otherwise just try "towards the within" it has some neat stuff
from a lot of their works (thus covering a good part of their releases,
methinks better than a passage in time).

Porl Thompson of the Cure also played [gtr] on that tour, I hear. While
I've lost all respect for the Cure over the past decade, I do still like
some of their older albums that he played on and I'm not going to dismiss
him entirely for touring with some old dinosaurs.
Besides, I like Led Zeppelin, quite a lot actually, at least up through
"Physical Graffiti", although I really haven't listened to any of their
albums in a long time.
>You know, _Reverberation_ was actually a pretty good album.
Does it sound anything like their earlier works? I was just listening to
"Crocodiles" last weekend after many a year, and _damn_ that's a fine
record.

Just a wee reminder re another way of getting 'livonia' rather
than subbing via your e-mail, or a way of checking old mail
There's been a web-based e-mail account since the start of
this list - you can find all posts back to the beginning of
September on it.
To access it:
User id: livonia
The controls are pretty obvious, unless of course you're a lynx user.
If you like it, whisper into warren's ear that it's time he toured
to Scotland some time ;-)
cheers

It just looks to me like he has an email client that automatically sends a
text attachment. Why someone would need that feature is beyond me. He
probably just needs to turn that feature off (or get a real e-mail client
that doesn't clog people's computers with worthless attached files). But
I'm sure it's harmless, nonetheless.
