It's called "Ambient 4 - Isolationism", on Virgin records, and I'm pretty sure it *is* part of the same series as the "Brief History of Ambient" CDs - the double CD sets with lots of old Tangerine Dream, etc. Since vol. 4 is almost all stuff from 1994, I suppose the "Brief History" part wasn't considered appropriate. -- Andrew Norman, Leicester, England | Jedermann sein eigner Fussball [email protected] |

Here, of course, I'm not so > innocent. The only promos I own were bought from shops where they have been dumped by people who didn't want them - I would imagine that some DJ at Nottingham's local radio station takes one look at "I Love Mekons" or "Free-D Original Soundtrack" and heads straight down to Way Ahead Records. Bands don't get any money from promos, but if the things have already been made and given away, I think I can live with my conscience. I certainly can't see BPM (which specialises in pumpin' 'ardcore techno) ever playing "Towards the Within" in the shop, and I can't imagine many radio stations in the Leicester area which would play it (there's plenty of similar, but more authentic, stuff on the local Asian language programmes). And I must correct Jens's belief (common in the USA) that the BBC is "government owned" - it's an independent corporation, funded by the licence fee. The government can put pressure on it, but I'm sure that's not unknown even in countries with a written constitution. -- Andrew Norman, Leicester, England | Jedermann sein eigner Fussball [email protected] |

Subject: Re: corruption, illegality,

and musical taste -- payola and buying/selling promos 12 Nov 1994 18:54:24 -0500 from Hi all,just a quick rebuttal to Jeff's letter.I am also one of the loony collectors who buy promos and regular release,but I must disagree with some of Jeffs comments.As has been pointed out,these things are free(As far as this concept goes) and thus no-one counts on them making money.It is a form of advertising(Obvious statement)and any band that bitches and moans about losing money while ppl get to hear them should get a severe integrity transplant.As far as I'm concerned,most bands seem to be releasing records for their artistic value,and to get concerned over promos being sold is actually ignoring a far greater problem,and that is recording your friends cds onto cassettes.To my mind this loses the RECORD COMPANY and to a lesser extent the artist money. I have lost count of bands who have said in interviews that they couldnt care less how many ppl illegally dub their music,as long as it gets heard.I realise that one needs to be paid money in order to eat,but I personally cant ever remember a band moaning that they are struggling because of the above.Most of the noise about copyright etc is made by those fat,bloated record companies. I also think that the problem is not as widespreadwith regard to promos.I do know that 4AD doesnt actually make that many.When I enquired about quantities m ade I was told that it depends on the relative popularity of the band,eg DCD Into the Labyrinth had 2000 specially made promos,wheras the Bulgarian voices promo was only 500.This principle is probably the same for most other record companies.I dont see this as being a terribly significant percentage of potential or presale figures. Related to this is the fact that these things are used,and not all promos are sold.Witness how difficult it is to track down Lilliput,and yet 3000 were made. The second aspect is that of the second hand music industry.What is the difference between Mai Pen Rai and AVAM in Joe's Used cd Craphole?The one was free and the other wasnt,but no-one is getting any money from either when they are sold second-hand.If you look at it in the respect that not many of these promos get sold,then the only reason I can think of that ppl get upset that promos are being sold is that someone is making money out of a freebie.Well, guess what!This is capitalism!!! Garth Brooks started bitching about not getting money when his stuff gets sold used,and I fail to see the logic.I mean,I send Ford money when I buy one of their used cars(Dont I??) Keep cool Theo

Subject: excusions in isolationism...

Just to clear everything up, since so many people wrote telling me the disc I mentioned is Excusions in Ambience 3, that the disc does not have a new Seefeel song on it but a remix of Charlotte's Mouth. There is, however, a nice boring 10 minute RD James track which I quite like. Personally, I hate the rest of the disc including the FSOL track, which was a big disappointment after hearing Lifeforms. Isolationism was in fact the disc I wanted, I'm pretty sure. Thanks to everyone who responded. einexile

> is the moon and the melodies out of print? It might be out of print _domestically_. When I bought my copy about five years ago, it was a domestic issue, on Relativity. However, it's been a long time since I've seen a domestic copy. The two we have in my store are both 4AD-only imports. So I 'spose the answer to your question is yes....and no. -julian-

Subject: 4AD promos, etc.

My store actually gets a fair amount of 4AD promos in. However, very few actually make it to the store playlist. Unfortunately, the majority of our customers are those of the yuppie persuasion....I was chewed out by my boss for playing "Geek the Girl" one day. About the only 4AD release the management has allowed much airplay to is "Toward the Within", and that only due to the fact that we were accidently shipped 75 copies instead of 25. It's absolutely frustrating. I'm more or less limited to playing blues and folk stuff along with top 25 shit. All this while 10-15 4AD promos rot in the closet. -julian-

Greetings all Has anybody heard of Louise Rutkowski?? She worked on the second This Mortal Coil album Filigree And Shadow with her sister Deirdre, providing vocals for 3 tracks. I know she has recorded at least 3 tracks of her own and I was wondering whether this has been released either commercially or in promo form. Recorded in 4AD's Blackwing Studios in London, the tracks are called Hurt Warhorse A View To Collapsing Does anbody know where I can get these?? Thanks in advance....

>"IRON LUNG"?

Haven't heard "Helium", but their earlier album "The Stars Are So Big, The
Earth Is So Small ... Stay As You Are" (great title!) has about the same
sound as the songs you mentioned, although it varies. It has one great long
spacey dronefest that's absolutely unlike the rest of their material.


jOHN also asked about Laika And the Cosmonauts -- they are absolutely not the
same band as the ex-Moonshake Laika. They're an instrumental surf band from
Finland. Totally non-thislisty, but excellent surf music. Their cover of
"Mission Impossible" is not to be missed.


vilexile  said:

That just means you haven't heard "Reserve Shot Gunman", the explosive
(sorry) b-side to "A Street Scene". Hardcore techno with real instruments. Or
the song "Hex" from the "Blue" EP, which is an absurd noisefest at something
like 300BPM. Unfortunately both these releases are dang hard to find in the
US.

I find the album brilliant too, but it's just one side of the band's sound.

Now if you want boring, how 'bout His Name Is Alive (to start a flamewar...)

The double import disk of Artificial Intelligence II has a Seefeel and a
Polygon Window (Aphex Twin) song on it. Could that be the one?  It's worth
having anyway.  I don't know if the U.S. single disc release has those songs.

I've got a copy of this lying around somewhere on CD, which says on the
sleeve that it's a limited edition of 1000 (although I'm not entirely
convinced!)  The "heavy accents" of Liz & Robin didn't bother me
(probably 'coz I'm a Northern git) although the sound quality often left
something to be desired, sounding as if it were taken direct from a
DictaPhone.  It would have been nice if the CD catalogue didn't only
comprise of one very long track!

Any idea when they are coming out in the US? Ambient 2 came out here
about the same time as 4 did in the UK, but it seems they are speeding
things up some, 3 being due *sometime* soon, apparently. Anyone feel like
sending a full track listing? :beg: *pleeead*

Forget worth having. Kill for that mother if you have to. It's by far the
best anthology album I've heard, EVER. However, the Seefeel track is
taken from the Starethrough ep. I also should mention that the US release
comes in a limited 2cd version which was only like $3 more. Great songs
on this also by Black Dog Productions, Global Comm, Autechre, Richard
Kirk, Beaumont Hannant, B12, and Speedy J.

I've seen the sone-disc version listed; is anyone sure it exists?

Greetings To All,

Hello, I am new to this list, but not to the music that it discusses. My name
is ALFRED DOUGLAS and I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.
First, anyone living in the California area that went to any of the live Lycia
shows and has, or knows of someone who has a bootleg of any of the shows? I
am tring to find more than what PROJEKT has offered. I think the live material
is incrediable and want to find more.
Secondly, does anyone know where I can find CINdYTALK's 'Camoflage Heart' or
'In This World' disc's? They are out of print and I cannot find them anywhere,
and believe me I've looked!!

That's all for now,
Cheers,

Alfred Douglas

Subject: Lisa Germano


hey all:

         it is nice to see a newsgroup for the label 4AD.  My favorite
person on this label has to be Lisa Germano.  I have followed her in her
career ever since the days of John Mellencamp, Billy Joel (storm front
tour), her own label of "emotional wench music", and then on to signing
with capitol records, who dropped her, then her recent signing with 4AD.
Thanks for doing a good job 4AD with the re-release of "Happiness" and
for the most recent album "Geek the Girl"  I was just wondering what
other people think of her music, and if anyone can tell me a phone number
or address to write to to find out information regarding tours, new
albums, and all other information reguarding Lisa Germano and other
people on the label of 4AD!

                                        Thanks,

                                        Miller!!!!


FYI- she is not even mentioned on the FAQ under groupography even though
she has two releases under this label....hmmmmmm??!!??!?!?!?!?

An acquaintance of mine who does many promotions at many venues tells me that
4AD pressed 50 copies of the AVAM video compilation on laserdisc, and they
sent him one. Can anybody confirm the existence of this promotional laserdisc?
Not that I don't believe him, but I didn't actually see it...

Hello Kids,

Flying Saucer Attack has a new singles comp. out on VHF records.  It has all
the out of print 7"s and whatever else they released only on vinyl.  So rush
out and get it.  I know PARASOL has it for around 12 bucks.

Cyber Sleaze For Monday November 14th 1994



* THE CURE lost their drummer after 10 harmonious years - because
he needed the space to find himself.
  BORIS WILLIAMS says he split from the band in August
because he wants to travel and concentrate on solo projects and
life with The Cure didn't give him any time for that.
  Williams, who's recording new material with his girlfriend
CAROLINE CRAWLEY formerly of SHELLYAN ORPHAN in PETER GABRIEL's
Real World Studios in Bath, England, is planning a more spiritual
future.
  Williams says, "I felt I had lost direction and didn't know why
I was doing things. In a sense I had lost touch with why I was
playing music as well in The Cure.
  "So now I want to explore other areas of myself like Caroline
and I travelling to India this Christmas for five weeks.
  "The idea is not to go on a tourist trail but to visit Ashrams
and getting into things like meditation."

        I just received an envelope from 4AD mail order that said THE

will probably remain in print on compact disc through 4AD.  It's been out of
