The extra song on Little Star is AMAZING, not nice. :) Thanks for putting
up the page; that is cool. Do you need info on her first album? Also
there is a proper single for Little Star and an 'ambient mixes' ep which
is supposedly dreadful.

If you know where I can find a copy of that other disc would you please
let me know?

There is piano on the Shining Road single, and it's even more dinky and

tacked on to the end as ten bonus tracks!  and mojave will tour with

Yes, they have always been the two main members. In fact, the other two
went and made their own album because Jim and Ali allowed them NO
creative input whatsoever. As far as I know, however, Ali has always
written the lyrics. I could be wrong about this but I don't think so.

Okay, a thought occurred to me last night and I'ts been bothering me all
day.  Given that Blood came out in 1993, why isn't anyone from His Name Is
Alive on it?  Other than the cryptic dedication of the box set to Warren,
they don't have any connection with it (that I know of).  Why not?  It seems
that their style fits in awfully well with TMC.

The other day I happened across (I think) his second LP (I can't remember what i

 it and
I must admit I thought it was tosh.  And I do like Pixies, so it's not him perso

everytime i hear 'little star' (which, thankfully, isn't often) i get the
feeling that there are notes in it that only dogs can hear.

bought the cocteaus vs. seefeel on saturday and it's the best thing that
either the cocteaus or mark clifford have done for a long time especially
tracks 1 and 4. recycled symbol is a nice touch too.

the amps lp isn't bad either despite the fact that i have singles longer

I actually like 'A Means to an End' alot.  The version of "Transmission"
by Low is absolutely amazing.  There are also good tracks from Kendra
Smith, Codeine, Starchildren (I know it's Billy Corgan ... but it's
really good), Girls Against Boys !!! and whoever does that sort of

4AD attitude has always pretty much been based on the option of one
recording, then seeing how things work out. Most bands are free to walk at
any time and / or 4AD is free to drop them.<<<

Eric's response:       >>that's guernica, innit?<<

My answer:    No, Guernica is a label that licenses recordings for the U.K.
only by bands that are already on other labels. Until the second Insides
release, these releases were one-offs (which is why other Unrest releases
jumped to 4AD).

Subject: Elysium


I received an order of a few things from Bedazzled mail-order last week,
and I'll probably do thumbnail reviews of the others when I get around to
listening to anything other than Elysium's "Glisten".  It's the the finest
post-Cocteaux album I've heard since the last Bel Canto or perhaps the
first Moon Seven Times, and definitely one of the best thislisty albums of
the year.

I, and likely you, have heard these sounds before:  Elysium has their
share of chorus and reverb pedals.  What distinguishes this album from
other attempts is the vocalist, a textured, sumptuous, mature alto whose
voice I relate to on an emotional level better than than the the airy
intonations of, say, Love Spirals Downward's singer, and the bands
tremendous gift for melancholy melodies which have lodged themselves in my
head for days.

Anyway, it's on listmember Brant Nelson's Dewdrops label.  Thanks Brant,
for bringing us such a gem.

Really hoping my discman's batteries don't die...

"Piano" is mostly (perhaps all) taken from crackly vinyl, and collects
the first few Teardrops singles before they signed to Mercury.
Interesting for fanatics, but most of the good songs were re-recorded
for the first album.  "Everybody Wants To Shag The Teardrop Explodes"
(the title which was originally going to be used for "Wilder") is a
collection of odds and ends - some tracks from the "You Disappear from
View" EP (their swansong, and 100% wonderful), a couple of old B-sides,
and some tracks from an unfinished third album which are not very good
- the sort of synthesiser pop which would have been very avant-garde in
the early eighties, but sounds terrible now.

Cope's early solo albums are great - "World Shut Your Mouth" (his first,
the song of that name is on "Saint Julian", album number three) is a
feast of English psychedelic pop, with "Oboe Kate StJohn" on woodwind,
some first-class songs (many of them Teardrops songs which never made it
onto TE recordings), and a generally consistent quality.  "Fried" is a
bit patchier, and he had overdone the chemical stimulation slightly, but
it's still very good.  The next couple ("St Julian" and "My Nation
Underground") were more conventional (and therefore worse).  I think "20
Mothers" (his latest) is the best he has done for a long time - probably
since "Peggy Suicide".  If anyone offers you "Queen Elizabeth", ask them
how much they are willing to pay you to take it off their hands - it's
*that* bad.

Subject: Joy Division sacred?


Referring to "A Means To An End":


>>Don't the sacredness of Joy Division scare you away from this collection
!!!<<

I'd have to say nope to that one. It is horrible to hear others cover their
songs though (i.e. Swans cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" circa 1988). Sort
of like hearing people do Cocteau Twins covers. Their songs, like Joy
Division's, are so completely their own. There's not much room for an artist
to bring enough of him/herself to it and make it their own [i.e. re-interpret
rather than (badly) re-hash.]

This collection is just really, really bad (especially Low's "Transmission"
which manages to defeat the purpose of the song entirely). The Peter Saville
sleeve and the Tony Wilson liner notes still were not enough to keep me from
getting rid of this poop (and I quite like Versus).

i'm not sure you will like it.  it's a work by gavin bryars. (i'm told
there's also aphextwin remixes of it.)  basically it's superminimalist
classical stuff w/some ambient washy-ness.  it doesn't change at
all.....well, at least not noticably.  the coolest thing about it is that
when i listen to it i always fall asleep and then wake up superdisoriented,
because the same string melody is playing. (in other words, it feels like
time has stopped)
