GOOD LORD NO!!! First of all DO NOT use sandpaper...it is *far* too
abrasive. A far better solution is to use a very slight bit of toothpaste
(not of the baking soda variety) and apply it exactly the opposite way as
described above. Small scratches that the laser tracks across are easily
ignored, while scratches that travel along the tracks are more difficult
for the error correction circuitry to handle (due to the large amounts of
sequential errors). It sounds like "dans" was referring to (with the
exception of the sandpaper thing) was the correct way to clean vinyl. CDs
and vinyl records are *very* different beasts.
BTW, I have used this method to take scratches and such out of a large
number of discs with it never failing to restore the disc.

There's a review of the Gus Gus new single on the SELECT magazine
pages ( http://www.erack.com/select/) it goes like that:
GUS GUS
BELIEVE
4AD
The phrase "musical collective" usually conjures up hellish images
of goatie-bearded buffoons and high-pitched harridans who think that
stripping will somehow destroy the burgeoise. But Iceland's Gus Gus
manage to combine their art-house imperatives with an irreverent pick
n' mix attitude to prevalent tends. "Believe" sounds like the last
ten years of house music condensed into 3 minutes, Roland 808s
squelching next to jumpy percussive break-beats, all held together by
sombre vocals that recall Underworld's " Dirty epic". Imagine Dead
Can Dance going techno, if that doesn't give you too many nightmares.
3 STARS
Also if you visit that pages you can get an audio sample of that
song, along from reviews of Pavement, Space and De la Soul. (?)
I have a few questions that i hope someone answer me.
1. When it's the release date of the Tarnation cd single and wich are
the songs that feature.
2. I love all the Ultra Vivid Scene records but i don't ever listen
to the singles or eps. Are they good, which is the best?
3. I know that Rema Rema and Mass had members of the Wolfgang Press
but i don't know what kind of music play, what do they sound like?

I happen to like Kim's a lot and wouldn't throw them in the same stinking
pit as Tower...
But some other suggestions.
Other Music: Between Broadway and Layfayette. Either 4th or 8th streets
I can't remember. Expensive.
some interesting rarities. Great for larger new releases because all new
cds are 9.99 or 8.99 with voice coupon. Main store is on 4th street
between 6/7 aves with a quite enjoyable clearance outlet between
6/University.
Bleeker Street Stores: Haven't been there in a while, but Rebel Rebel
used to carry a lot of great UK stuff, including Vinyl. Between 6&7 or
5&6 aves. There are a couple of other stores on bleeker, but I don't
remember.
There is also a record store on Houston, Bridage Records, which is
between layfayette and 3rd aves. I respect the guys that work there
because they made their way from selling CD's at the Grand Street flea
market. And if you catch them on a good day, they can actually be nice.
That's all I can recall.

As its not really 4AD (only connection off the top of my head is via Nick
Cave) I'll try to be brief.
I went to see the John Parish/Polly Jean Harvey & some dance group
(sorry forgot the name) perform 'Dancing at Louse Point' at the Nia
Centre, Manchester last night (Monday) and would strongly recommend
anyone who has the option to go does.
The music is much more intense than on the record. Polly's singing
is as intense as every, but with even more scope and range. It seems
the smaller and thinner she looks, the greater her voice. And she
looked really small last night. The music itself is all by John
Parish (lyrics by Polly) and varies from standard (if there is such
a thing) PJ Harvey sound(s) through more Patti Smith type bits,
through UT sound mis-shapes and is superbly delivered.
The dancing was an eye openner. I've seen a bit of dance in the past
(ex-partner was a classically trainned dancer) and always found modern
dance to be either dull or embarrassing, as I did much
classical/ballet dancing. Now I know why. Modern dance is usually
done to dull or embarrasing music. Despite not being able to see the
floor of the stage the movement of the five dancers was quite
captivating. In fact in a certain sense I quite enjoyed the bits
where all I could see were various parts of anatomy popping up! But
if you do go, tyr and get a seat where yoou can see the floor over or
throuogh people's heads.
All five of us who went really enjoyed the show. Only two of us had
heard any of PJ Harvey, and none were particularly 'dance'
consiseurs.
And the way that women moved her shoulders and arms had the
Nia Centre captivated, totally.

Wolfgang Press, The Birthday Party, Colourbox, Xmal Deutschalnd, Unrest,
Air Miami, Dead Can Dance, Pale Saints, Kirstin Hersh, His Name is Alive,
The Happy Family, Belly, Throwing Muses, and some others.=20
I have the following questions. Please help me.
1. Is the Cocteau Twins single box set still available in the United
States. A friend of mine saw the eropean version in Vienna and it was
really expensive. Is there a big diffrence between them?
2. Is there any possibility of finding a book containing a selection of
v23 and Vaughn and Oliver=B4s work?
3. Has the e.p of the Twinstwistle Brass band ever released in America.
Also is there a C.D. version of the Pale Saint=B4s E.P that has a "hidden
track"?
4. Is there any possibility of finding a box set containing all of the
Pixies and Breeders E.P=B4s?
5. Which bands have Peel sessions besides the Cocteau Twins, Xmal
Deutschland and The Birthday Party? Are they available somewhere?
6. Which bands and artists have good quality recordings of their concerts
and presentations? I mean bootleg recordings. Not the one from Lush sold
by KTS which has a horrible sound quality.
7. Is there a big difference between Unrest=B4s Imperial FFRR release in
America and the U.K.? Besides the Portrait, is there a difference between=
=20
the track listing? Should I buy the American or the British Version?
8. Where can I speak with Ivo about a local band in here who has been
working for more than eight years and whose influences include: Pixies,
Cocteau Twins, New Order, Bela Bartok and The Cure?
9. Which bands have toured or been "incognito" in South America,
especially in my country: Colombia?
10. Air Miami=B4s Me.Me.Me. release states that there are more Air Miami=B4=
s
releases in cassette. All though they are offered by Teenbeat, has any one
heard them?
11. Is there any possibility of finding a copy of the American release of
all This Mortal Coil=B4s box set called 1983-1981 now?
12. Has any band or artist released a C.D.Rom with 4ad? Are there plans to
release one?
13. Has any one heard a band called Tsunami and another one called The
Glee Club?
14. This Mortal Coil=B4s first release, "Sixteen Days Gathering" has been
released in America as a C.D. Which artists are featured?=20
15. Whatever happened with the girls from Xmal Deutschland. Was the Peel
Sessions recordings their last one?
16. Is Ivo married, who can make a biography of him? This is because I
want to write an article of the label and I would like to get this
information.
17. Is there any possibility of making a "Son of This Mortal Coil" as Ivo
said in 1993?
18. Has there been some other release of 4ad posters in these years?
19. Where can I find the Lilies release? I=B4ve been searching for it for
more than two years and it is impossible to find it.
20. Is the Guernica sublabel still functioning?
21. Is there some independence between 4ad America and 4ad U.K.?
22. Two or more opportunities I sent the card for obtaining a copy of the
label=B4s catalog. A local recordstore has a copy of it. But where are mine=
? =20
23. Whatever happened to Modern English, Colourbox and In Camera?
24. The Lonely is an Eyesore Video compilation has ever been released in
America?25. Which bands share members simultaneously? (Example: The Pixies=
=20
"shared" their bassist Kim Deal with The Breeders)
26. The Breeder=B4s live album has ever been released in America or is
just a limited edition that I can only find as an expensive import
costing about 37 dollars here in Colombia.
27. Are there any fanzines dedicated to bands like the Pale Saints,
Lush, The Cocteau Twins,etc?
28. When I put on my C.D. player the Pale Saint=B4s album "In Ribbons", I
notice that the first track ends an immediately appears a 99.99
seconds time left. What is this?
29. Has the 4ad label ever released a soundtrack?
30. Is there any possibility of recording something new with the female
Bulgarian Chorus.
31. I have a copy of the Cocteau=B4s Garlands album. I notice that there
is possibly an error in the track listing. Exactly, concerning the Peel=20
sessions, tracks 10 or 11 or 12 are wrongly named if we take into
account the track listing in the Peppermintt Pig E.P. included in
the singles box. =20
32. Will the label desire to publish a book containg its history?
33. Whatever happened to the early "Axis" label bands and releases?
34. Which Japanese releases are better than the American and British

Patsy Cline.....so much so that they approximate a rip-off. But great
twangy, sentimental, old-fashioned romantic stuff, if you're into that sort
of thing. Furthermore, imagine yourself sitting in a diner en route from
San Antonio to El Paso, at a screened window in the middle of August, no
air conditioner and flies are perpetually buzzing by too close..that's
Tarnation. (Or driving home to Los Angeles from an impromptu trip to Tucson
with a guy you really like but you're not sure you can keep)

Alternative Nation played the "believe" video yesternight. first time
I heard "believe" and I think "polyesterday" is better. apparently,
Alternative Nation is going to an Iceland special sometime soon featuring
Gus Gus and other icelandic bands.
there was also a cool video called "natural rhythm" by Hexstatic. nice.

There seems to be an upsurge of people that send mail to this list
that would be much more appropriate if sent to the original writer.
When replying to mail, check your "to box". If it has the address of
the mailing list in it, remove it. Put in the private address of the
specific person that you are replying to. The only reason why I am
sending this mail is because 8 out of the 9 messages I got today were
just that. Messages that shold have been sent directly back to the
original writer. The 9th was someone that obviously does not know how
to subscribe to a mailing list. Thats my two cents worth.
Ryan ([email protected])
p.s. sorry for those that received this email more than once. I sent
it out to three different mailing lists that those 9 messages and
others in the past week have come from.

After all, 4ad has released some of the best musical productions, and
here in Colombia it is difficult to find answers to my questions. Why?
Because there are no good music stores like those in Europe or America or
Asia, also, there is no good music press dedicated to good music. People
in here just think that rock and roll is Elvis, The Beatles, Stones, Zep,
Michael Jackson, and they don=B4t know that Nick Cave, Pixies, MBV, The Pal=
e
Saints, The Specials, Laurie Anderson, The SMiths exist.

I for one haven't heard anything from them except Century Flower, which I
managed to find after about 9 or 10 months of searching... which, by the
way, is quite a beautiful listening experience. Kinda reminds me of
what Dream Academy might sound like if they had reached maturity...

I've got a couple of anal collector questions for you all.
First, about those myriad Gus Gus promos. I've got the info on GUS 1 (12"
w/ "Chocolate") and GUS 2 (12" w/ "Polydistortion"). But I also remember
hearing about another GUS 2 that's a CD. Could some one give me more info
on that? Is the cat. no. really "GUS 2" or is it "GUS 2 CD?" Also, what's
the story with the "Believe" promos? I heard about a GUS 3 and a GUS 5 CD.
Can anyone supply more info? And is there a GUS 4 somewhere?
--------------------
On a related note, there are three "DCD" Dead Can Dance promos I know of:
DCD 1 (CD for "Baraka")
DCD 2 (12" for "Spiritchaser")
DCD 4 (the tour programme)
Is there a DCD 3 that I've missed?

I'm about to back up the collection of 4ad sleeve scans onto cd (for
safekeeping), and it occurred to me that perhaps it might be nice to
put the eyesore html database onto it as well, so that one could have
everything in one neat package. Interviews, articles, sleeves, data,
PostScript versions (in b&w and color), pictures, etc -- one would be
able to just put the cd into the cd-rom player and point a Web browser
to it.
So I wondered -- would anybody be interested in having a copy? I
would have to charge Real Money for it (cd's aren't free, and I don't
have a cd-rom burner myself, so I would have to get somebody else to
do the copying). Hm. Perhaps 4AD wouldn't like me selling copies of
their artwork... I dunno. I just wondered if anybody is
interested...
It would basically still look like
means that you could access it faster (and offline). I'd make the
data as up-to-date as possible before putting it on cd, of course.
You'd be able to access it from all operating systems, since it would
be just dead data and no executing programs. You'd need a Web browser
to use it, though.

adam,
uh, I guess you caught me...I read it. hadn't seen your name in awhile, so
I thought I'd say hi. how are you? and catherine? and the band?
nothing more to say at the moment...on my way from one pointless hobby to
another (work, to home to write a couple last reviews, and then off to the
studio...yawn).

I've never been a fan of a band that sounds "so much like" somebody
else, that it is mentioned in 100% of the responses to "What does
Tarnation sound like."
Borrowing infamous words from Ross the Boss, "That's Just Sad!"
Now, a cool recommendation of a band who use another style to launch a
very own "personality" (Great live shows, too!) is on another label--
the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
Tarnation in the "Used Bin" next to the Pale Saints and Dif Juz...
