I would disagree with most of this. As I've mentioned several times
before on this list, I think And She Closed Her Eyes is the best album
yet to be released this year, so know that this comes from someone who
really *loves* that record. First, I don't know why you said that about
her melodies; I found them to be more interesting, especially in the way
they interact with the chords and other melodies; it is really a tricky
kind of songwriting the likes of which you don't see much of any more.
The vocals are indeed not as smooth, and this might turn some people off
but you make it sound as though it was an accident, which it clearly was
sounds like she' singing right in your ear. A lot of people find it
obnoxious, but it can grow on you. I am charmed by it. It also is a split
from the somewhat derivative elements of the first album. She's really
got a unique style at this point.

On the point of the cheesy Tori Amos drum stuff, I'm not really sure what
you're talking about. The album is as organic as they come, and the few
bits that strike me as processed are not nearly as much so as the last
album almost in its entirety. Not that this is a bad thing, but I much
prefer the atmosphere it gives And She Closed Her Eyes. The few
artificialities contrast with the roughness of the album in a way that is
often disturbing, and never seemed intrusive or bothered me much, but
then you are clearly more enamoured of the professional and acoustic
sound of the first album, where I am not. I can see a lot of people not
liking this second album, but I would call it successful in its methods
where it creates its atmosphere from its elements, and I think the
songwriting is among the best and most clever you'll hear today.

Another thing I would add, which is a major part of why I like her, is
that she is imo an absolute master of the interlude. She has a way of
suddenly washing over her songs with something completely alien to them
and having them fit perfectly, always very emotional and usually a relief
from tension. Generally speaking, these bits are flavorful and original
in their instrumentation or overall sound, and have a melody that seems
to intersect with the rest of the song and cast it in a whole different
light. nothing against the first record, but she hadn't so perfected this
at that point, or at least hadn't been inclined to use it for the most
part.

I also want to add that her lyrics are beautiful and peculiar. They
address odd subject matter, use unpredictable metaphors and leave you
wondering just what in the hell actually happened. She tells great
stories without entering into an irritating narrative, and I can think of
few other people I'd say that about. Even the best lyricists discussed on
this list avoid really getting into that. The only person I can think to
compare her to is Suzanne Vega, (of whom I admit I may have an unfairly
good opinion because I only have her last album.) She is mysterious
without being cryptic. She leaves you uncertain, but is at the same time
pointed. She never deviates into psychobabble or guts-spilling. They are
lyrics to be proud of, and they are the mirror of their music. One has to
wonder which comes first or if they materialise simultaneously.

Again, my highest recommendation. I file my Stina CDs, with a clear
conscience, right between my Echo and the Bunnymen collection and my And
Also the Trees records. Hey! Those are the other people I was trying to
think of with regard to storytelling in lyrics. I did not even realise
this. Damn.

Subject Re: first dreampop song?

Eeek.  If this goes on, well be disecting Strauss's art songs for
dreamy references.

With regards to "modern" and hence, self-conscious, dreampop, my
vote is for the early A.R.Kane singles.  They, after all, coined
the term.

With regards to the much lamented Hugo Largo, the band sans Mimi
Goese recorded Hetch Hetchy's "Swollen" on Texas Hotel records.
Hetch Hetchy's singer has a Siouxsie fixation, but the music is
sublime.  The singer, BTW, is Linda Stipe, sister of REM's singer.

Mimi Goese is an active performance artist in New York.  You can
often find listings of her works in "High Performance" (or is that
the title?) or "Village Voice."

Hahn Rowe is a fairly active session violinist.  He toured with
Foetus a couple of years ago, and I've seen him credited on a number
of albums, most recently, Micheal Brook's _Cobalt Blue_.

Tim Sommner, MTV scripter and fanzine writer prior to Hugo Largo, has
continued freelancing, I believe.

I've no idea what happened to the fourth member, whose name escapes me
at present.

Love and toast.

Subject Its a conspiracy

Ever wondered why certain bands (usually on large wealthy labels) seem to
mysteriously appear out of nowhere, to suddenly be spread accross
numerous publications / medias ? and that some of them are so crap that my
cat wouldn't even bother to vomit on their records ? but they still get mass
coverage despite the fact that even the journalists in the most part dislike
them...also noticed the large adverts that accompany them?

This 'bribe'; journalism (buying ads in exchange for coverage) is called
Payola. the logical conclusion to the payola system is to place a vast
amount of power in the hands of a few wealthy companies, and to degrade the
ability of the press to act as a truthful critical body
(which they present themselves to be) due to their relying on advertising
revenue for survival. I'm not suggesting for one moment that things have got
so bad that payola dictates every article you read, but it does exist
(to varying degrees) and due to the factors below, is on the increase.

If payola was isolated to the music business, then i would have to admit that
the issue would be trivial, but given that it appears to thrive (at least to som
 degree)in all of the private media networks, and couple that with the fact that
our idependent BBC is being undermined and eroded away (eventually, it seems to 
e replaced by a smaller number of hugely powerfull, ever expanding 'media empire
') it makes the future prospects of "freedom of speach" in any significant form 
or the ordinary citizen (who does not happen to agree with politics / philosophi
s of the wealthy 'power' Elite, or who does not have the money to 'buy' media) p
etty bleak.

The implications to our democracy also becomes an issue, because in an age
where we rely so heavilly on mass media for information, should the very
information we need to choose our political parties be in the hands of a few
media barrons who by their nature (and that of their wealthy payola advertisers)
will favour a certain government setup?

Yep. I believe we should now refer to it as the Criminal Justice Act.

So just remember that when your neighbours kids are having a birthday
party and there are more than 16 children there, as a good, honest,
upstanding citizen it is your duty to get on the blower to your local
police station and report them (can't remember what clause the groups

Living in South Africa I can expect a lot of shitty laws,but coming from

The 10 ravers raving in one spot or travelling etc is old hat;we had a similar

On to the payola thing:My synapses just fired,and without boring the list with
lengthy Marxist debate,I think that the biggest flaw with the argument concerni
ng the implications for society as a whole is that it smacks too closely of the
 Instrumentalist theory of law and state.Equating control of the means of produ

a sound application of either Neo-marxist or Anarchist writings will soon
disabuse one of the notion that life is that simple.

Well, I've got the third edition as well as the previous one, but
this new CD is just a merchandising product which is offered with

There is no box, only a paper cover. Tracklist:

1. Love is colder than death: In Silence and Tears

5. Love Spiral Downwards: And The Wood comes into leaf
6. Dark Orange: Four Winds

10. Speaking Silence: Immunity

I think most of this product is only excerpt off lps (or to come lps),
but I can't be sure: there was a little poster with the CD, but I don't
have it here.

Does anybody has got information about Speaking Silence ? (a band with the
female singer of Trees Dance, near from Rise and Fall Of a Decade. Theses
are two french bands so I don't think many of you know about them, and
I've no comparison to make. Arty, female voice, guitars and reminiscence

Subject CT-forgotten tracks

Hi there!

Recently I went to London and bought a Cocteau Twins Compilation called
"The Forgotten 4AD Tracks" featuring songs from their various singles between
82 and 91.
It looks like a bootleg, but inside it is mentioned that it is a
promotional copy and not for sale.

What's the story behind this CD ?

Thanks

Subject lost CT cd

I've seen it too and it's definitely a bootleg since:

1. The price is over $30. A legitimate release wouldn't be this
   expensive.

2. The title is dumb. The CD is basically the box set all on one CD,
   and all of these tracks are still readily available.

Subject Pram info requested

That's right, Pram info requested. I welded "Helium" into my CD player a few
weeks back (thanks to Boroda) and it is finally coming loose. Can anyone
review/recommend their other releases. If there ever is a circus in outer space,
Pram will definitely be under the big top.

Um.

So with all the talk about Portishead, I feel ignorant.

What do they sound like, and who are they?

Thanks.

She also appears in the Wolfgang Press' "I am the crime" and their
cover of "Respect", and on Dif Juz's "love insane".  And in some Ian
McColluch (don't kill me if I butchered the spelling) song.
