Yes. "Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void" was deleted - temporarily. The
band (Mercury Rev in disguise) wasn't happy with the artwork. It has
apparently been reissued and it's a must-have in any form. I LIKE the
original artwork. But since when does that matter.

> Is Tsunami on 4AD now that liqourice is a label member???

        No. Tsunami are on Toomey's Simple Machines label.

> How did Jenny Toomey wind up on 4AD?

        When I recently interviewed Ivo for Alt. Press, he said that he
liked Jenny's voice and just asked her whether she had a project outside
of Tsunami that 4AD might be able to release. Liquorice/Ida
guitarist/vocalist Daniel Littleton and Toomey used to play together
(pre-Tsunami) in a band called "Geek," of which Liquorice is basically a
continuation. Also, Jenny and Mark Robinson have been friends for a long
time, so I'm sure that Ivo probably met her through that. Of course, one
shouldn't forget that Warren Defever produced the last Grenadine
(Robinson, Toomey, Andrew of Eggs) album, or that HNIA drummer Trey Many
is a member of Liquorice. See, Toomey has lots of 4AD connections...

> Also, is the collaboration between Ian Masters and Warren Defever,
> Esp Summer, going to be a 4AD release???

        Probably not. They passed on the option of releasing it earlier.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the latest 4AD release schedule (for the US, at least):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3/5

5/14

* THROWING MUSES - _Limbo_  CD (released via Throwing Music/Ryko in USA)

Subject: Bonnie and Clyde


Dear 4-ADlers,

I think I read it here a while back, so I'm sorry if I'm rehashing
old material, but could someone tell me who is singing and playing
on "Bonnie and Clyde" ( a hidden track?) on Luna's PENTHOUSE.
A friend brought it to my attention when I lent her the disc. Is
it Johnette singing? There is no documentation provided for the 11th
cut and we've been trying to guess who is involved. Nice song.
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me something about the people behind Oval?  I bought their
two discs at a record show because they had been filed with discs by
Cluster.  The woman working the booth said her boss had told her they were
associated with Cluster, but all she knew was that he had said so.

Frankly, I don't hear any connection.  Can anyone confirm or deny the
connection?

Funny that. It seems like Frank Black is really digging his own
grave, or rather, the record company is. Read in Expressen Fredag
about the company's promotion stunt for Mr. Black, which made them
(the Fredag crew) cancel their interview:

Three guys dressed in black wearing sunglasses entered their editorial
room, slams a tape recorder on the floor, they press play, and start to
dance. Right there in front of their desks. The music is Frank Black's
latest single.

I'm not sure, but I would have thought it was funny, though they do
have a point when saying that they'd like to decide if the music
is good or not themselves, without this kind of promotion stunts.

I may have posted about this before so apologies if I am repeating
myself. My problem with Bleak is that it is shoddy and seems to have been
knocked off. If you were to draw a line indicating sound quality and
spontaneity, it would look like this...

 Circle -> Stark -> Ionia -> Wake -> Live -> Vane

...Vane being at the "bootleg" and "flippant" end of the spectrum. It
sounds like demos for Live, if Live were a Studio album. It is shoddy
enough that I am inclined to think it might have been written and
recorded live, perhaps as warmup or cooldown during the Circle sessions.
There is no doubt in my mind that the people responsible for Burning
Circle could come up with this stuff on the spot. But I'm still not
impressed. There are a few halfway decent tunes, but they don't surprise
or haunt or rock and it all sounds pretty awful. If I hadn't got it at
the same time as Burning Circle the album might make me fvery angry, but
since I did and given that they have made a special effort to remove it
conceptually from Lycia, I don't have a problem with it. I just find it
near-unlistenable and fairly useless and disappointing. Buy the other
album instead.

Does anyone have the new Soul Whirling Somewhere?

I just heard the most fucked-up thing this morning.

Someone posted a note here saying that they heard that RHP signed to RCA
and the album would be out this spring.  I mentioned that to a friend of
mine who told me that he heard that RCA had an offer on the table (which
would have paid 4AD back for the money THEY spend on this new album, by
the way), and they called 4AD to find out the 'poop' on Mark and 4AD just
slagged Mark off completely, so RCA backed out.  Really shitty, if you
ask me!

Funny (not) that when the band most often discussed on this list actually
signs to 4AD, they get their own list.

The US release of the Mojave album came out today and I bought it. I had
the CD already and could understand the words fine, so I essentially
bought it for pride of ownership and the artwork. (The artwork is
beautiful.) So guess what? Payment for my decadence is the booklet is
damaged. Let he who is clever and opens these CDs and plays them and puts
them back beware. Better yet, let him get a clue as to how someone else's
CD inserts should be handled, eh?

The thing is, I suspect this happened in the factory. Anyone else have a
Mojave insert like this? :(

Whatever. The art is indeed very nice, the band name...is irritating. Has
anyone ever tried continually changing their band name but releasing
albums all with the same title? _Mojave_ by Ask Me Tomorrow; "Mojave",
the hot new single from Tomorrow's Taken, etc...

Ugh. Score one against all that trademark copyright shit. Bleagh.

The impression I got was that this person was just goofing off. This is
an excuse often used around here when a careless flame gets its poster
all wet, but my reaction at the time was that this was a rather clever
spoof on the conventional "who are you to judge my opinion" paradoxes
that show up here from time to time.

Just to set the record straight: If you don't like someone's opinion of
your opinion, then tell them your opinion of their opinion, and if they
have an opinion of that, repeat as necessary. It is never wrong to tell
someone that he is full of shit and it is even less often necessary to
note that your post is not in fact a new stone tablet sent from Great
Spirit Herself. Usually it's more fun to just go on arguing about what
you were arguing about rather than argue about what you ought to be
arguing about.

This has been a little bit of musin in the shape of a pretzel. More where
that came from if you fail to comply.

I assume this is the Berns nightclub in Stockholm. If so, does Swedish TV still 
ave "live
at Berns"? (They were still showing this when I lived there '91/'92). Then some 
vensk
could verify if it was said Fat Acoustic Black Frank Type Person or not.

And talking of Sweden - has anybody got any info on Morpheus Of The Endless. Ver

I watched a cute video of Catherine Wheel's "Judy's Staring At The

of a fan of Catherine Wheel (there was a very nice Australian Catherine
Wheel, but they are long gone).  Now I am very interested.

So what's the goss.  Are there more songs with Tanya?  How did they
meet?  What is the song _about_?

I may have posted about this before so apologies if I am repeating
myself. My problem with Bleak is that it is shoddy and seems to have been
knocked off. If you were to draw a line indicating sound quality and
spontaneity, it would look like this...

 Circle -> Stark -> Ionia -> Wake -> Live -> Vane

...Vane being at the "bootleg" and "flippant" end of the spectrum. It
sounds like demos for Live, if Live were a Studio album. It is shoddy
enough that I am inclined to think it might have been written and
recorded live, perhaps as warmup or cooldown during the Circle sessions.
There is no doubt in my mind that the people responsible for Burning
Circle could come up with this stuff on the spot. But I'm still not
impressed. There are a few halfway decent tunes, but they don't surprise
or haunt or rock and it all sounds pretty awful. If I hadn't got it at
the same time as Burning Circle the album might make me fvery angry, but
since I did and given that they have made a special effort to remove it
conceptually from Lycia, I don't have a problem with it. I just find it
near-unlistenable and fairly useless and disappointing. Buy the other
album instead.

It's REALLY annoying. Eventually we will have a separate mailing list for
discussing every song by every band ever on 4AD. e will hang out on the
"Rutti" list, presumably. Look for me on the "My Love Paramour" and
"Sweetness And Light" lists. For the time being I will resist the
tendency and ignore the Slowdive list.

>The US release of the Mojave album came out today and I bought it.

Ha! Somebody from Warner Bros. e-mailed me out of the blue and offered to
send me a free promo copy, which should be arriving next week. I feel
like a net.bigwig or something. Does this mean I have to write a fawning
sycophantic review?

I still keep musing about Brant's dismissal of "Pygmalion", esp. since
I've been listening to "Avalyn" a lot (it's on a comp. tape I made in
1991 that I just dug up and stuck in my car stereo.) Frankly, to me
"Pygmalion" sounds a lot like "Avalyn" without so many pedals, which is
part of why I love it so. (Not that I minded the effects...)

The [distinctly nonthislisty] SF band Caroliner sort of do this, in that
they're always tweaking their name ... "Caroliner Rainbow", "Caroliner
Bites A Singing Pig", etc.

Ouch... I only have "Ionia" and "Stark Corner" at this point, but they're
both pretty blatantly four-track type recordings, although still excellent.

        Yeah... I posted about it awhile back, and I would feel awfully
self-repetitive if I had to go through that whole spiel again; but I'll
say it's at least as good as _Eating The Sea_; a little more varied, more
guitar and other instruments in addition to the familiar swaths of lush
keyboards.

Exact! (I remember the name ESP-continent now!) I've seen it 3 days ago in
a shop in Paris. I think the release was last week.

                expensive in France! 1$ < 5FF )

If there is really only 800 copies, maybe it will be difficult to find in US
I can take a few copie here for Ian/Warren addicts, but you will have to

Maybe it's possible to take it trough _Time Stereo_ for less bucks.

Hmm. This IS a strange list, but that's ok. I can handle humor, well some.
Thanks for the answer. Actually I really like Kiri, but would be a tad

could tour with Peter Murphy? Tony Bennett and HoL?   Frank S and U2
is possible....

It's either Dame Kiri Te Kanawa or Laetitia "Stereolab" Sadier, you
decide which is more likely to be right.  I won't try to confuse you
with "humour".  There were two versions released on a single, the

What records do they have out?  I really like this band, they sometimes
 remind me of the Dog Faced Hermans, and sometimes they sound like Babe

If you can put up with terrible formatting, occasional missing

information, and my total inability to write a program which correctly
computes the date, you can try my experimental archive at:


It runs back to November, 1994 (more or less, slightly more less). Much
to my amazement, a few web crawlers have also indexed the whole damned

Answer - yes to both questions. If you tick CDs only, that's precisely what
you'll get. If you tick CDs preferred, you will get that + any vinyl releases
not issued on CD (eg the rumoured series of ltd edition 10" eps)

Subject: Drum, send my Vaughan Oliver book !


and really, apologies to this list, but this person will not return
any mail, and has my Vaughan Oliver book.  any ideas on how to get a
reply out of someone who you give money to, in good faith, to purchase
you a Vauaghan Oliver book and then states they have it, but have
refused to send it for a _year_ ???  so, as i can get no reply out of
this person, i figured i would have to write where she reads, again!

i do apologize to all but one of you...

tito (not the man) scribblied:
--I just heard the most fucked-up thing this morning.

--Someone posted a note here saying that they heard that RHP signed to RCA
--and the album would be out this spring.  I mentioned that to a friend of
--mine who told me that he heard that RCA had an offer on the table (which
--would have paid 4AD back for the money THEY spend on this new album, by
--the way), and they called 4AD to find out the 'poop' on Mark and 4AD just
--slagged Mark off completely, so RCA backed out.  Really shitty, if you
--ask me!

--Rick

and thank you rick for posting that that many times. now we *really* know
how shitty 4ad are. thanks for getting the point across.
