Greetings fellow 4AD and Banshees list-people.  Please pardon the use of
bandwidth for an ad.  In February, my girlfriend and I will be moving to the
San Francisco area where we will be trying to revive our old band, The
Radiant Hour.  She sings, I play bass, we both play keyboards and we'll be
needing a guitarist and drummer.  Chances are, if you're on either list,
you'll be into the same things we are.  We've had a couple of previous
responses, but nothing really became of them.  Also, if you happen to have a
line on rehersal space or musician-friendly housing, we'd appreciate it.

Please private email for additional info/questions/etc.

Thanks in advance,

Ken

If you're a fan of the Moon Seven Times, you owe it to yourself to check out
Lanterna, Henry Frayne's (mostly instrumental) side-project. It's mostly Henry
and M7X drummer Brendan Gamble, though there are vocals on a few
tracks. Originally released as a ltd. ed. cassette, it's recently been
reissued on CD by Parasol with gorgeous packaging by Bruce Licher at IPR. I
listen to the Lanterna album much more than either of the Moon Seven Times
albums... it's looser and more varied stylistically - still gentle and
lulling, but with a bit more bite.

i do believe the m7x are working on a 3rd album as well, though i think
release dates and such are still way up in the air.

hey, listen.  if you want to actually get your 4ad catalog, call up the la
office and let them know that you've been waiting along time, and that you
want your catalog.  that's what i did after waiting three months, and i had
one in a couple of weeks.  i forget the #, but you can get it from calling
information, or if Strick9 is feeling nice, he'll post it.  or you could
waste lots of money and call the british office.  as far as getting mail
order stuff from 4ad ltd, their service has always been speedy, and both
times i ordered, they charged me less than their order form said they should
(a LOT less.)  delivery is startingly quick, too!  (about as quick as the
time i ordered from vinyl ink!)

just call 'em,

a certian date like cd's or what? And if that's the case why can't they
send them out after that certian date? I think I've been
jipped.......wait, If they don't send me anything thats fraud. I'll sue

I did mean this literally. It was, of course, a work in collaboration
with the laws of gravity, and the result was considerably shorter and
less tiresome than "Jingle Bells (Snowblower)". But you avoid my point
entirely; I do not take credit for this spontaneous composition.

If I had recorded it and sent it to Projekt, I'm sure it would have been

ooh, samples *and* samplers? What, pray tell, does a sampler sound like?
I shall have to sample one sometime.

No matter. Have them send me the receipt for their sampler and a punch
card for the time spent holding a microphone to my old Casio, and I will
gladly retract the statement and issue a formal apology.

Am I to assume you agree with the remainder of my review?

None of the remixes are new, and I think only one has not appeared on CD
before (an early one, and not much good).  They tend to be the more
up-beat mixes (Autechre's superb "Skin up..." mix of "Like a Motorway"
isn't there, the other two mixes from the LAM EP are).  The "Hug Your
Soul" mixes, as far as I can remember, are mostly "handbag house", i.e.
cheesy disco.

Difficult to make comparisons - if you have Virgin's "Ambient 4 -
Isolationism" compilation, there is a Main track (rather more ambient
than their normal stuff) and some of the less ambient tracks on that
compilation are similar to Main.  Plus it's a great collection of
strange ambient music, so buy it now.  Basically, Main use guitars
(mostly) to make non-guitar sounds, though their earlier EPs ("Dry
Stone Feed", or the "Hydra-Calm" compilation) are like a slowed-down
Loop.  "Motion Pool" is probably the place to start, it has a range of
styles from almost-songs (these usually consist of Robert mumbling
something barely audible over a plodding bass) to the
click/rumble/buzz/hiss sound that most of the Hertz singles feature,
and a couple of more conventional tracks where the guitars actually
sound almost like guitars.  "Firmament" and "Firmament II" are the more
experimental side, and "Ligature" is a collection of remixes - that's
not a bad one to get, either, as it's about an hour long and the
remixes are by Main themselves or close associates, so you don't get
the sort of thing on Scorn's remix album where the "remix" is basically
a track by the remixer which sounds vaguely like the original artist.

Oh, and those of you who like that sort of thing should check out Stars
of the Lid - they have been mentioned a lot on the droneon list, and I
found an album, "Music for Nitrous Oxide" dirt cheap in a second hand
shop this weekend - it sounds like the more minimalist/noisy tracks on
Labradford's first album, very lo-fi (one of the tracks is actually
called something like "Tape hiss is my friend").

Also found Scorn's "Gyral" cheap, now Mick Harris on his own, he's
ditched the crappy "doomy goth" vocals and the album is far better than
"Evanescence".  REALLY low bass, although I still don't think Scorn are
as good as their reputation I can now hear why some people love them so
much.

 > How many CD's do you buy each week Andrew?

Too many.  When I become a homeowner after Christmas I'll probably have
to cut down, but at the moment I can't spend my salary as fast as it
comes in, and it just keeps building up in my bank account, so I have to
keep buying compact discs, otherwise the entire British economy would
become distorted, or something.  I was wandering round Habitat this
weekend and realised with a shock that for the first time in my life I
could afford to buy a three piece suite, if only I had somewhere to put
it.

Yes, Ennio Morricone is one of my favorite composers/artists.  Anybody heard

What about Jean-Michael-Jarre?  I've been listening to some of my old
tapes..."Zoonlookogie" or whatever and "equinox" and "rendevoux".  While I
guess this would be considered electronic, how about ambient?  What makes this
music one v. the other.  Comparing it to recent purchaes like Autechre and
Seefeel, I think it sounds simliar?  (BTW, I think i'm going to go rebuy these
on CDs now that I've been listening to them....)

Is this being picky?

I cannot tell from your posting what you have heard from John Zorn,
and am indeed not sure if your message is a joke.  If not, you need only
to investigate a little into the John Zorn discography.  Other than the
cathartic Naked City ensemble, his music from films (cool stuff like
James Bond soundtracks) is utterly sublime.  Got one of those music

        The remix of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by Andrew
Weatherall is different than anything I have on CD though.  Does anyone
who may have it on vinyl or an import know the title of that particular

        Unfortunately you're correct about the "Hug Your Soul" remixes.
If you can get a hold of the "Four Songs" half of the single though, you
get some excellent B-sides like "I Buy American Records."

I am pretty sure the original post was a joke. It just did not have

Subject: Elysium review


Hello eveyone,

Ok, without further due, here is my review of Elysium's gig at the troubadour
last saturday.
I got there as Elysium launched into their first song. Oh and before I go on,
this was the first time I heard them. (I am still waiting to get the CD in my
mail,Brant, hint! hint!). So i was there on pure faith, and the description
that both Brant and Rodney had given me.
Well, after getting over the "hm, does this sound like the cocteaus or the
Cranes?" feeling, I decided that it didn't matter who they sounded like
because they were great!
Jenny's vocals are amazingly etherial but yet warm and not airy like Liz or
Allison's (Cocteau's or Cranes). It is more reminiscent of Dolores
(Cranberries) even though Brant compared her voice to Natalie Merchant's.
Anyway, the point is: Lovely voice. The music kinda sounds the same at first
(which is a normal reaction when you haven't heard the band before) but as the
set progressed the layers of vocals/guitars seems to make more sense. The
guitar playing is both gentle and soft and also can be dense. It is hard to
describe (I suck at reviews because I look at it from an emotional point of
view rather than technical). Well let me just put it this way and leave it to
others who were at the show (Candice? I looked for you, were you there?):
Elysium brings out that beautifull feeling that we haven't felt in a while.
Congrats guys, and keep up the good work, I might just go see you in Pasadena
this weekend?
As for the rest of the show, Human Drama was a total goth band (Andrew
Eldritch looking dude and all) which is cool by me, but my friend could only
take so much of goth whining and dragged me outta there, shame! Needless to
say I didn't get to see Love Spiral Downwards, once again Candice, how was it?

Well, hope you guys are still reading after this boring crap.

days after I bought a couple at Arcana for $30 each.

The Tower Records on Sunset has some of the most recent
4AD poster sets (green tube, debut at the 13 Year Itch).

Aron's Records has Stereolab's Low-Fi CD in their
import section for around $20-25 (wasn't someone looking
for this recently?) They also have a bunch of Bill Nelson
CDs used, and they've been marking down lots of their
used CD stock to $4.95, some of it from this year like
Belly and Throwing Muses. If anyone is looking for
old Simple Minds vinyl, they have a ton of it. I even
saw a used copy of the Elysium album in the New Age section
which I filed more sensibly.

Many thanks to those who came to the show on Saturday.
It was a critical show, and luckily it was one of their
best. Look for the interview in the UC Riverside campus
paper sometime soon.

What Nadim described at a total goth band was
actually Kassandra's Veil, not Human Drama.
Yeah, they were pretty terrible. Love Spirals
Downwards were spot-on great once again, starting
out with a couplet from the Whoville/Grinch song
(as eagerly anticipated by me).

The next Elysium show is this Friday Dec 22 at the E Bar
on Green Street in Pasadena. Another fine LA band
known as Honeywater is also playing. The E Bar is a
tiny little coffee house, so get there early, say 8pm.

Eggnog. As with most things, the best comes from making it
yourself from scratch.

Eden. I just remembered seeing a used copy of Healingbow
at Aron's yesterday. Go snag it.

        Another 7" on Grand Royal this time by Ko-Stars. Two other

Don't be so sure about anything please (especially getting on a label).
And what's with this 'IF' you recorded it blah..blah..?  Sounds like hot
air to me.  The *fact is* that you didn't record and send it in, and the
reason why is most likely is that you *never* had anything to send in. If
it's so damn easy for you to get these great guitar sounds, it'd be quite
easy for you to re-create and record it!  As the Nike add says: Just do it.

What does a sampler sound like, pray tell?  Well, whatever you sample into
it, that's what it sounds like (I should know, I actually own a few
samplers).  Of course, a sampler without any wave-samples has no sound per
se.  But you can sample a sampler; you obviously would want to sample a
sampler that was playing back a sample as opposed to one that has no
samples (and is therefore virtually silent).

I used the words 'samples' and 'samplers' to set them in a technological/
conceptual category distinct from synthesizers which, apart from wavetable
and sound modeling synths, do not use digital wave technology in their
sound creation (and instead use analog/substractive synthesis, digital
frequency modulation synthesis, additive harmonic synthesis, etc...).

It's a dense sort of montage with a lot happening under the surface when you stop and listen to it. Rodney's sound had a bit more distortion than what I remember from other shows, that gave a good wah here and there. Some of the high points for me were "Christmas," one of their more "happy" songs with a great minor mode section (hmm maybe it's the bridge?)-- the beginning gives me the same feeling that the Cocteaus' "Frosty" does, and "Gloryamous" (the song that starts with a G that I always forget the name of.) Two great songs that haven't been released, yet. There were a bunch of high points actually, but I don't want to go on and on. I only can wish that they bumped Kassandra's Veil and played a longer set. K's Veil were, um, not too good. The intro music was ok, as the fog machines pumped their hearts out to create atmosphere. Right before the band came on, the stage was black except for one spotlight shining straight up beneath the lead singer's mic. I was thinking it would be great if he came on and shouted "I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE!" or now, thinking about it, started saying the beginning words of "Stonehenge," which would've had me rolling in the aisle. But, alas, he started singing, but wasn't able to hold a note for more than a fraction of a second. The music may have been not too bad at times-- I put on some earplugs and when I started to fall asleep, decided to go downstairs and try chatting with people. LSD were great, as anyone could tell you. Just a beautiful, simple sound, but very close to their recordings. Possibly not as funny as some other show they've done (this was my first time seeing them) but still, Suzanne is absolutely a freak of nature (this is a good thing!) She was saying, "That was a cover, just so you all know and people on the internet don't say 'They played a cover and I was the only person that noticed!'" I saw some of Human Drama and must say they are a tad too... Dramatic for me. They do what they do well. From what I've heard of their recordings the lyrics are on the corny-dramatic side, but after seeing them they seem to fit the overall picture.

Is this a 4AD/ Versace t-shirt or something?

Curious.

I read somewhere on the 4AD newsgroup that along with the now well known
departure of RHP (who are on the verge of signing with Island supposedly) our
beloved Ian-less Pail Saints have left/been dropped as well.

Actually, it's called Metal Box. The original vinyl version was pressed on a
number of 45rpm 12-inches and packaged in a film canister-type thing with no
paper sleeves to stop the records from scratching each other. Later vinyl
(in conventional packaging) and CD versions were retitled "Second Edition".

Just my US$0.02 ($0.03 Canadian)

Subject: IUMA oddity - no 4AD content


A coworker brought to my attention the IUMA "postit" page

I saw the following and it really disturbed me. Just wondering what 4AD list
loons think of it. It is regarding Indie labels getting onto the IUMA www site.

"I asked for a link to our Indie site and was told it would cost me $10,000
per mounth with a minimum contract of one year. Thats $100,000.00 for thoes
who can't multiply. This pricing shuts ouit the Indies and they must know
that. I have sent two emails to IUMA asking for a price that we could
afford. No one has answered me yet. Maybe they're having too much fun
spending their big label money. Dave Kaspersin. Dynamic Recording Studio and
Indie Label."

Is it just me, or is this absurd?  Isn't the main premise behind IUMA to
offer exposure for indie labels and bands?

My response to your inquiry was indeed a bit of late-night sarcasm.
(that should do it.)
***Any misleading information regarding the support group or the efficiency
