apparently you missed the ORIGINAL OWNER part of the sentence. they were

was too young to benefit from that at the time. . .*sob*) in fact, i know a

oh my god! is this true?! i never thought about it. "MAYBE 'INTO THE

The Legendary Wolfgang Press album I consider one of the
classic 4AD releases. It's stark, driving, somwehat harsh and
primitive, but often beautiful at the same time. I'd say this
is their most essential release, if only for "Mama (I'm Coming Home)"
and "My Way". The cover of "Respect" is ridiculous in a goofy
sort of way.
The Burden Of Mules--- ehhhh. It's mostly dull, lifeless
and unpleasant, and it's best forgotten.
Standing Up Straight. Now here is a challenging album,
rather like Legendary on a bigger budget with more production.
Get this one as your second TWP purchase. The songwriting is
more complex and pointed, maintaining a characteristic
"strangeness" with equal amounts of harshness, darkness and
beauty.
Bird Wood Cage. Here is where they start to slip. It's still a good
album, but they've lost some of the indescribable oddness and charm
that made the previous two so delightful. Still, there are classics
such as "King Of Soul" and "Kansas". I guess some of the songs just
sound too "normal" to me, plus you can pretty clearly trace their
present Motown / soul / disco / whatever-you-want-to-call-it phase
back to this record.
Queer. In which TWP becomes a lame dance band. One or two
songs are worthwhile, but in short: it sucks. I see no experimentation
or originality. Don't even bother.
Funky Little Demons. A great improvement over Queer. Less dancy
and more soulful, the band having completely recreated themselves
as a funky Motown band. And I've got to admit they do a fine job.
Plus you find out that Mick Allen really CAN sing!
"Cut the Tree" isn't really indicative of any album, and is
one of their weaker songs. You could probably put it with
Standing Up Straight, but it would be the worst song on there.

it was a joke, blu. it just seemed to me like you've been saying things

to discredit mike's information about the new album, which i found pretty
helpful. every post you make to the list mentions the guys that work at
the record collector, warren, etc. i can't go so far to call you a
namedropper because i don't know you personally, but it certainly appears
that way at times. sorry if i came down a little hard on you. i wasn't in
a very good mood when i wrote that.
btw, for the record, i have very little knowledge about warren and co. i
don't even own all the albums. that was a JOKE (though a sharp-edged one at

Nope... not Dave. Astrobrite feature MC's drummer - who is apparently a big

But just a little. House music they are NOT. I told them to trash (or at

No, it means *someone* got lilliput for free. (N.B., the clause containing
"original owner.") I prefer to value something according to the enhancement it
brings to my life rather than how much it would be worth if i sold it. I value
my eyes more than the price they'd fetch on the black market organ donor
circuit. I appreciate that some people are willing to let us poor folk have a
chance at something like mpr for what they think it's *worth*.

Although capitalism is a worldwide phenomenon there is something to be said
about anti-capitalistic thoughts being considered UNamerican. Remember

Better watch out they might add causes against anti-capitalistic statements to
the Commun. Decency Act so that you don't pervert our childrens heads with

Whoa. Before we get all medieval on this guy's ass, I don't think he
intended to make a racist remark. I think he was just trying to say that
the Lovelife cover might make some people think the album contained a
different genre of music than it does. I think he's wrong, and I think he
put it very badly as well. But let's not start a racial flamewar here,
please. Racism is too prevalent and too evil in society at large; let's

Consider also that a numbr of people, myself included and I think I was
first, have said the singles sucked but the album was great.
Why get hostile towards someone over an honest opinion. It's the
*dishonest* opinions I get angry over, like "i fuckin love lush whether
they eat shit or not and anyone who thinks I suck cock for it can lick
me". Is it denial I smell here? :)
As for the Elastica comparison, maybe this point has been raised--I
wouldn't know because I don't dare look at the thread--but consider that
Elastica, although a great pop band with some marvelous songs, haven't an
original bone in their collective body. This is sort of like saying
someone stole all their ideas from Scorn.
And just why the hell should female rage be acceptable to mainstream
America? It's not acceptable; it's charming and a novelty, and it's not
new. Remember Pet Benetar and her posse marching doen the street shaking
their boobs at the camera? Female rage. Don't worry Jens, everyone else
forgot about it too. :) That's why it's coming back into vogue.

actually there are only two DCD tracks weaved in, the rest of the music
is mostly originally composed.
the film doesn't have a plot, it's basically just a series of
wonderfully shot scenes of the world and it's culture. i was watching it
with a friend of mine tonight and he mentioned that he felt it was pretty
much a copy of a movie that was made around 10 years ago (the title of which
i can't remember at the moment) but i do remember him saying that the
soundtrack was by Phillip Glass. He also mentioned that he enjoyed it more
than 'Baraka'. i'm eager to find it (once i ask him the title again) as i
found Baraka to be as a whole quite enjoyable. the final scene with the
tree under the stars is so awesome.

While certainly not the worst song on LIAE, I would say that "Cut the
Tree" is the worst song from the pre-_Queer_ TWP; it is certainly the
one that has the least interesting sounds. *Everything* TWP has done
is great, though; but I think that _Birdwood Cage_, coupled on the
CD with _The Big Sex_ EP is the best disc to own by them.

basically, if you've seen mark madgison (sp?)'s other films
(koyanasqatsi, powwowasquatsi), baraka is in the same vein, although
imho, baraka is the best, in terms of images, soundtrack, overall effect.
montage of images and music. vaguely narrative. this one's roughly about
the commonality of the religious experiences of various native peoples,
and about their connection with nature vs. the corrosion of the western,
civilized way of life. a better explaination is on the sleeve of the
video, which you can read at your local video store.

sorry about that, I didn't even realise i'd posted to the list until I got the m
ssage today, I didn't mean to really!
ob4ad,
just for my 2cents worth, I never have listened to lush much, but I'm thinking a
out getting the ladykillers single anyway, It's been getting a lot of radio
play in the twincities, and I'm starting to really like it.

Here it is (in part)...
"In the past, typical Cocteau Twins fans would read books by candlelight and
lose themselves in whatever was circulating through their minds. Now they've
become whining maggots on the World Wide Web longing for Victorialand
rewrites and yearning for a new This Mortal Coil album. Face it: you can't go
home anymore."
-A.P.'s Jason Pettigrew in a review of CT's Milk and Kisses
A bit harsh, eh?
Actually, I was pining for a "Love's Easy Tears" Pt. 2. What a BASTARD!
But... if the shoes fit.
So, do maggots even have feet?
Oh, and who are Godzuki? Are they Livonians? Anything to do with DeFever?
Just curious as they are set to play my neck of the (back)woods.
Thanks,

The good news: the admins at inow.com finally got things set up so my web
site can be reached directly through my domain, mooseyard.com.
The bad news: They didn't give me the password to access the source files
at the new location, so I can't upload the new FAQ updates yet. Hopefully
tomorrow. I'll let y'all know.
Now and hopefully forever, the 4AD-L FAQ can be found on the Web at:
http://www.mooseyard.com/Jens/4AD_FAQ.html
The old URL (at www.inow.com) is now broken. Toss it out of your bookmark
list. If you own a Web page that points to the FAQ, **pleeeez** update
the link. Thanks.

I called the 4AD hotline a few days ago, but no word on specific dates for the
'Shaving the Pavement' tour. Does anyone on the list know of a tentative date
+ location for a Chicago show?

while we're on the subject...
i live right smack dab in the midwest...it seems like we NEVER
get any good swirly music. well, i think slowdive and ride came
through a couple years back. but that was before i really got into
them so it doesn't count. :)
btw, has anyone heard more about the "shaving the pavement" tour.
i just hope that it comes my way...then i can forgive.

You know, about this whole lush controversy(s); I just thought I'd add that I
have 4 black friends in houston who love 4ADish music compared to only 1 or 2
white friends that I know who like it. The majority of my friends are content
with whatever the local pop FM station directs them to buy. (I got more
friends trying to get me "into" Alanis since that stupid song...)
My point? Not one, really. Just a thought to others that music-taste is
definitely not split along racial lines. I think its more divided among
people who actually have a passion for the music they listen to; and demand
more from it; and the bulk masses who are content with enjoying whatever
happens to be playing on the radio at the time.
I'm not being elistist at all; but I've really come to appreciate music so
much more and really develop my own individual taste since joining lists like
this one. I always enjoyed a certain style of music; but never had a support
mechanism to keep me informed and up-to-date. Unfortunately, most of the
folks out there will never experience groups like This Mortal Coil or releases
on labels such as FAX which is actually kind of sad.
BTW I dug out my old "moon and the melodies" tape. I know it's been like 8 or
9 years since I listened to that thing. I bought it; was disappointed and
stuck it in my tape "black hole box". I pulled it out this week after all the
discussion recently and found that I can't stop playing it! It's a wonderful
album! I can't believe I've spend the last 9 years feeling like it was a
waste of money. I also found a tape of "the pink opaque" which I didn't know
I had, either.
times to let you know I got it; but it kept bouncing...
"Helliborne". I got it today; and I'm putting together a tape for you. :)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
If your purpose is to incite riot, and achieve some infantile
gratification of your ego, OH BOY are you on track--with everyone responding
to you.
If your intent was to make a few racist digs to the ribs of more
sensitive individuals as well as your "targeted" audience, well HALLELUJAH BOY
our a regular Propogandist.
As for the rest of the comments which have been made to ameliorate or
de-escalate this inflammatory post, I'm shocked. Imagine the artists on this
label who share genetic and cultural heritages with the target of this
post. Referring to a figure on a cover, with the diminutive designation:
"...some black guy," is cause for concern. Coupling this with the
generalization that "...rap people" "...dig" "...black guy(s)," and that
the intent was "...sneaky," all seem pretty thinly veiled.
I am fallible, too. But if this post is a product of "ignorance,"
rather than calculation, IGNORANCE is no excuse./
Wake up man! This country is teetering on a critical period of healthy
growth and self-destructive regression. Let's not tilt the scales
irrevocably into disaster.

the New Grape tape on time stereo. it's *fantastic*, but a li'l
more gruff and noisy than the AVAM song. i'd like to hear the
"cleaned up" versions of those songs....i'm sure they are just
as good without the distortion as they are with it...

Brant cautions:

Just for the record I was fully into tongue-in-cheek mode in my response.
Obviously attempting to categorize black = thislisty on the basis of AR
Kane is just as absurd as categorizing black = rap, when we all know that
really black = beautiful. Power to the people, brothers.
Just to throw in some content: that recent announcement of the
Cleveland(?) show with Bowery Electric and Labradford has me drooling
with frustration here in San Jose, CA. Why is it (petulant whine) that
all good swirlynoise activity in the US is centered in either the eastern
1/3 of the country or in the sunbaked hellhole that is Phoenix? The
closest we in the Bay Area seem to get are (IMHO) also-rans like Orange
or (gag) the Rosemarys. I think in the interests of fairness the easties
should bus bands like Labradford and Bowery Electric over here. We have
hundreds of carbon copy punk/funk/thrash/ska bands in the San Jose area
that we could shove into an eastward bus and mercifully get rid of.

How about the Livonia-L, it's not the new album,
but they are still Headquartered there, right?
or would that get confused with the Livonia, MI chamber of Commerce...
or was this a rhetorical question (I can never tell)
Looking forward to being on both lists,

I only wanted to get my point across about how the Lush cover didn't match
the content of what was on the CD. But of course whoever said that the cover
should match with the music anyway?
My apologies for causing such a misunderstanding.
Furthermore, I would like to offer my utmost apology to the system
administrator(s) for putting up with replies to my posts containing nonsense
which takes up so much hard drive space.

"Complaints about potentially racist remarks" = "nonsense." Nice.
