The 'Error' sleeve says #2, but since the Slumberland 7" was released
earlier on it should say #3. I'm surprised Swirlies hated the 'Error' 7",
since it includes a great version of 'Park the car by the side of the road'.
Anyway, the titles you list all fit in well:

# 1 = cassette giveaway
# 2 = 'Sarah Sitting' 7" (Slumberland) 1992
# 3 = 'Error' 7" (Pop Narcotic) 1992
      (sleeve says # 2)

        Virtually all of The Smiths' and Morrissey's UK vinyl releases
        feature these little messages in the run-off grooves.  Joy
        Division and New Order also used them occasionally. One of
        my favorite examples of this phenomenon from the smiths is
        a bit of self parody:

Subject: Virgin compilation


In the shops today - "Monsters, Robots and Bug Men", AMBT11, part of
Virgin's ongoing double CD compilation series.  (David Toop's "Singing
on Venus", or "Ocean of Sound 2 - the Vocal Tracks" is out today, too).
Compiled by Simon "post rock" Hopkins, here's who's on it (all album
tracks unless otherwise noted):

Foundation, Hair & Skin T. C., Fuxa, Run On (EP track), Ui, Bowery
Electric, Brise Glace, Pram, Magic Hour, Labradford.

Windy & Carl, Godflesh (single track), Sabalon Glitz, Stereolab
(B-side, "Yper Yper Sound"), Cul de Sac, Roy Montgomery, U S Maple,
Space Needle, Stars of the Lid (not mentioned on the back cover for
some reason).

My one minor grumble is that the "Isolationism" compilation managed to
consist mainly of exclusive tracks, so it felt like listening to an
album in its own right rather than a compilation, while this one is
mostly taken from albums, but it looks like a great collection (haven't
listened to it yet, but if the 17 tracks I haven't heard are anything
like the 9 I have, it will probably be amongst my most-listened-to
albums of the year).

Subject: Re: (more) milk & kisses musings


After 3 weeks of waiting for my mail order M&K, wednesday marked the
arriving date... and here are my results:

The album is great. It is one of the CT records that immediately caught my
attention 100% (the other being Treasure). All the tracks, except 'eperdu'
worked very well for me.
 However, i think that the Twins didn=B4t break new ground with this one.
Sure, the songs are great, but I think that the record sound TOO much like
Blue Bell Knoll mixed with some guitars from Four calendar... For example,
the opening chords for 'Calfskin Smack' are IDENTICAL to 'A Kissed Out
Floatboat' from BBK. 'Treasure Hiding' is a rework of 'Pur' and I can=B4t
remember which other track has the identical guitars from 'Summerhead'.

Despite this, the Twins managed to merge the best from these two releases
and ended up with one hell of a good disc! (only they could do it, of
course). For those of you who still don=B4t have the nerve to buy this baby,
don=B4t hesitate and spend some bucks on it. (The Limited Edition has GREAT
artwork, BTW...)

Pepe

 for 96:

1) Treasure  tie!!!   Milk & Kisses
2) Heaven Or Las Vegas
3) Blue Bell Knoll
4) The Moon & The Melodies
5) Sunburst & Snowblind
6) Four Calendar Caf=E9=20
7) Victorialand
8) Garlands

and for the eps...

1) Love=B4s Easy tears
2) Pearly Dewdrops=B4 Drops
3) Aikea Guinea (even this is, maybe, my favorite CT song)
4) Tiny Dynamine
5) Iceblink Luck
6) The blue 'Tishbite' (for Round and An Elan)
7) Sunburst & Snowblind
8) The rest...

Adios!

I accidently saw this band when they played up here in the bay area once,
and I would definitely associate their sound with that of  the above listed
bands. Is it possible that there is another Paladins? I kind of doubt it
because I know that this one is fairly well established, and new band using
that name would probably find out quickly that it was already taken.

Subject: DCD Sample Cassette & CT Concert


Hello Friends,

Just got my copy of <> magazine this morning and they are
offering a free DCD promo cassette for <>.  The
catch is...I have to "nominate" three other people to receive a
cassette and information about subscribing to <>, so (1)
if you live in the UK (2) are not a current subscriber to the magazine
(3) would like a promo cassette, and (4) don`t mind a load of junk
mail, send me your postal address. I`ll do it on a first come first
served basis. It`s much better that someone who might appreciate
the music gets a cassette rather than, say, my Grandmother.

I went to the Cocteau Twins concert at the Ministry of Sound in London
on Thursday, and I was pleasantly suprised by it (well, after last years
diabolical South Bank effort, anything would be better!). As well as
playing the majority of the new album, they even played - shock horror -
a song from Treasure. Some of the ambient interpretations were also rather
excellent, with Mark Clifford doing some serious knob twiddling at the
side of the stage. So all of you in the States with tickets should look
forward to the evening - OK?

Love,

David Thorpe.

There's a version of this on the SFTRI "Dreamweapon", isn't there?  I
know the Space Age version has an extra one, but there's really not much
to choose between them (it's basically the same thing as the
Spiritualized "Pure Phase" sound which was discussed last week).

 > For all ye thirsty Bowery
 > Electric/EAR/Jessamine/Spectrum/Labradford/Main fans...

The Gilbert (Wire) / Hampson (Loop/Main) / Kendall (produced most of
Main/Loop) album "Orr" has finally been put out by Mute - a track from
it was on a sampler given away with the Wire magazine about nine months
ago.  I don't think there are any Elastica covers on it.

The verdict on "Monsters, Robots & Bug Men" - Nine out of ten.  There
are two very long (14 min) tracks by Ui and Godflesh, which should have
been savagely edited or left off - the Ui track is a bit too formless
even for a "post rock" compilation, and the Godflesh one is an example
of how things can go horribly wrong when rock groups try to make
hypnotic repetitive dance records.  It gets boring after about five
minutes, and doesn't get better.  But the rest of the album is
magnificent - much of the American stuff is only available here as
hard-to-find and expensive imports (e.g. Jessamine, Windy & Carl, Bardo
Pond), and as it's split roughly 50/50 between the UK and US there's
probably plenty of stuff on it that Americans can't find easily.  (As
for those of you outside the "special relationship", just buy the thing
if you can find it!).  I'd have liked to have some Main and EAR on the
collection (in place of Ui and Godflesh), but that's a very small fly in
some extremely fine ointment.

1) The first one (I'm guessing here) is a reference to the poet Browning.
The second one, well, you can probably work it out. The third one is from a
scene in Spinal Tap, where the band run into some artist and are all
friendly and howyadoin', and then when he's gone they call him a wanker and
say "He's got this much [holding thumb and forefinger very close together]
talent".

2) This is usually done by whoever masters the vinyl - there's a guy who
goes by the name of Porky who's responsible for a great many messages in
vinyl of the 70s and 80s. I think the band have something to do with it as
well in this case.

3) Probably. Once it's scratched into the master, all copies made from it
will carry that message.

And still does.  I think Porky's is an independent vinyl mastering
place, in Peckham if I remember rightly.  A bit like Ken Morse and his
rostrum camera (for those of you who watch the credits on British TV
documentaries).

When I first heard this album, my reaction was that it was some sort of
hoax, and that eventually Lisa Gerrard and Liz Fraser would admit their
responsibility.  It didn't sound at all strange by 4AD standards.

I think it's a one-off - Duophonic also put out a Tortoise single some
time ago.  The "D'jed" remix 12" is OK but I still can't see the reason
for people's enthusiasm for Tortoise - pleasant enough, but that's all.

I wasn't so keen, I'll have to listen to it a few more times, though.
The A-side on mine is also crackly, so perhaps it's intentional.

Jack are a bit of a letdown - Too Pure have signed a bunch of South
Welsh Blue Aeroplanes wannabees without the talent.  All that eclectic
bohemian folk poetry rock'n'roll stuff needs a bit more conviction to
carry off convincingly.  They would have been hot stuff ten years ago,
perhaps.  Alan McGee could have signed them.

My recommendations this week:

Third Eye Foundation - Semtex.  One of those 12" vinyl thingies, fifty
minutes of FSA going jungle, or Scorn covering My Bloody Valentine, or
something.  It's very good, anyway - noise, rhythm, the odd bit of
melody seeping out now and then.

Various - Succour.  A definite whiff of the joss-stick about this one.
A double CD of modern psychedelic music as a fundraising effort for
Ptolemaic Terrascope, a magazine about the same thing, apparently.
(Psychedelic music, not double CDs).  Some of it is dreadful hippy tosh
by people who obviously smoked one herbal cigarette too many in the
seventies and never found the road out of Glastonbury, some of it is
really superb - the exclusive Flying Saucer Attack track, however, is
not.  Sounds like an outtake from "Further", a bit of guitar strumming
and noise/atmosphere.  There's more than enough great space rock, guitar
noodling and minimalist droning to make up for it, though.

There's apparently a compilation due soon on Virgin of drone-rock called
"Monsters, Robots and Bugmen" which has Labradford, 3EF and others on it
- could be as tasty as "Isolationism".

I've got answers...

Brian James Heileson asks:
>anybody know what happened to swallow?

Mike Mason is now working as Busy Going Crazy, a heavily beat-oriented
ambient/techno project with a decidedly experimental slant. One great EP so
far, "Six Summer Suns", On White Line UK. Louise Trehy is not a 'member' of
BGC, but her voice is sampled (as is Swallow's music) throughout the EP.

Frank Brinkhuis asks:
>I'm more interested in 'The New Atlantis' compilation CD on Space Age, with
>Jessamine, EAR, Spectrum/Jessamine, Bowery Electric. I just got the
>(excellent) Spectrum/ Jessamine CD on Space Age, and I wonder if the comp.
>is just as good. Anyone?

Okay. "The New Atlantis" is a tough call. The CD would have been a delight -
if it had been SPACEAGE 001 - but it's not. It's 004, and nearly everything
has been (or will be) released already. So it's full-length price for a lot
of retread ground:

1. Spectrum/Jessamine - A Pox on You (from the above-mentioned EP) ... which
IS, admittedly, wonderful. Has anyone heard the "Electronic Evocations: A
Tribute to the Silver Apples" 10" on Enraptured - feat. Windy & Carl, Sabine,
Flowchart(Heroine), and a few others...? The SA were one of a kind, but all
these bands really do capture some of their incomparable magic. I'd say the
S/J is one of the best SA tributes yet!)

2. Spacemen3 - X-Tacy (Live Intro Theme) -The track missing from the SFTRI
issue of "Dreamweapon," restored on the SpaceAge issue. Beautiful and
essential, but... been there/done that.

3. EAR - Spacestation - 8:13 more of EAR - if "Beyond the Pale" wasn't quite
enough for you. It's great, of course... but it'll also be on the forthcoming
album (SpaceAge 5?)...

4. Jessamine - I'm Not Afraid of (Electricity) - Double trouble here... it's
a beautiful moment in the Jessamine repetoire, but it's on their first (or
second...) 7", "Cellophane." And it'll supposedly be on the forthcoming
Kranky/SpaceAge(?) album. Nice to have it on CD, but we'll eventually have it
again.

5. EAR - Guitar Feedback Manipulation - from their first, "Mesmerized".

6. Bowery Electric - Out of Phase - Yes, it's a new cut. BUT it'll also be on
their next album. If you can't wait (understandable), pick up the comp. for
this cut alone. If you can wait, save your money and buy the FANTASTIC new
Spiny Anteaters album, "Current" - just released (or soon-to-be) on Kranky.
Finally, the SA 'belong' with their esteemed roster-mates! Wire cover, too...

7. Spacemen3 - Transparent Radiation (Demo). 4:26 ... off of "Forged
Perscriptions." Anyone have any idea what that is?! :-P

8. Spectrum - Antennae - from a forthcoming album, "Forever Alien."

9. Spacemen3 - Repeater (Demo). 7:42 .... from "Losing Touch With Your Mind,"
yet another of endless posthumous S3 releases. Who has more - the Chameleons
or  Spacemen3? Tough call...

10. Spectrum - The New Atlantis. Exclusive track - BUT it's very short (2:40)
and over before you realize it. If you're a Kemberhead, you need it. If
you're just an occasional fan, it's anything but essential. Have we mentioned
that Spiny Anteaters album yet? ;-)

When you do the math - counting in the beautiful package design (WOW, MAN!
THE COLOuRS! THE COLOuRS!!!!!) and the quality of the bands on the
compilation, you still have to wonder whether it's worth shelling out for
when there are so many essentail new albums. Like, say, that Spiny
Anteaters... or:

For all ye thirsty Bowery Electric/EAR/Jessamine/Spectrum/Labradford/Main
fans...

Slug  - The 3 Man Themes (PCP) - good stuff ala TransAm/
"Prasizion"--|--"Motion Pool"

Windsor for the Derby - Calm Hades Float (Trance Syndicate) - 1/2 of Stars of
the Lid!

Analogue - AAD (Sonic Bubblegum) - "...calling all Windy&Carlhounds..."

V/A - Seedmouth (Coldspring UK) - new EAR, Cranioclast, Illusion of Safety,
Lustmord, Inade, Inanna, John Watermann, Deutsch Nepal, etc... sublime dark
(VERY) ambience.

or, of course, a fine little offering by the much-improved and now-essential
Spiny Anteaters.
Hmm... what have I been listening to today? ;-)

Subject: Ivo has taste.


Thank god Ivo has enough taste and enough balls to go out and sign bands that
are out of the ordinary.  I don't know about anyone else's record
collections, but I have records in it from, Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Blue Oyster
Cult, Gershwin, U Sirinivas, The Walker Brothers, The Black Crowes, etc.  GET
IT.

Diversity is what gives life its color.  Some people don't like Jazz, some
don't like show tunes, most don't like rock, OH WELL.  That does not make one
better than the other.  Hell if you want to talk about fashion and what bands
wear and bringing back malts & diners, and big muscle cars, and whatever
else. Bands are what they are and people are also.  Are you going to tell me
that a fool dressed in all black with black eyeliner, black nail polish,
white pancake make-up, etc. is any cooler than someone with sideburns and a
leather jacket that says T-BIRDS, than you have to be kidding me.

Once again, at least Ivo signs bands because he thinks they are good.  There
are not to many labels that are willing to do that.

Subject: innergroove messages: How to


Speaking as someone who has had innergroove messages
etched into a vinyl release, I can tell you it's very
simple. All I did was ask the pressing plant to scratch a
message there and they did it. It's done by scratching the
words directly into the lacquer before the metal stampers
are made. And for those of you who haven't seen stampers,
which are the positive molds used to make an impression of
the record in vinyl (ie. the grooves are raised ridges),
they look like hubcaps!

Skinny Puppy those fun-loving neat guys from Vancouver

scratched on their Chainsaw 12" single which I always
thought was kinda funny. It surely stems from the fact
that they sample Tina Turner singing the same line

Great topic! Almost every old cure vinyl has got one of them scratchings, like:

on the UK 12" of Charlotte Sometimes.

And if you take a sharp object you can make these scratchings yourself!

the scratchings are made when the album master is cut. they were probably
written by the engineer who did the cutting of the master, so the same
scratching would be on all copies of a release. what to write may have been a
request of the band (most likely) or someone else. usually there is the
catalog number, a or b marking, and this scratching.

I do believe there is a web site somewhere that attempts to collect these
scratchings from various albums. One of the most famous is "porky prime cuts"
which used to show up on punk records, and probably earlier records as well.

Date: 25/05/96 12:12 Hello Friends, Just got my copy of <> magazine this morning and they are offering a free DCD promo cassette for <>. The catch is...I have to "nominate" three other people to receive a cassette and information about subscribing to <>, so (1) if you live in the UK (2) are not a current subscriber to the magazine (3) would like a promo cassette, and (4) don`t mind a load of junk mail, send me your postal address. I`ll do it on a first come first served basis. It`s much better that someone who might appreciate the music gets a cassette rather than, say, my Grandmother. I went to the Cocteau Twins concert at the Ministry of Sound in London on Thursday, and I was pleasantly suprised by it (well, after last years diabolical South Bank effort, anything would be better!). As well as playing the majority of the new album, they even played - shock horror - a song from Treasure. Some of the ambient interpretations were also rather excellent, with Mark Clifford doing some serious knob twiddling at the side of the stage. So all of you in the States with tickets should look forward to the evening - OK? Love, David Thorpe.

I bought the LP a while ago.  It sounded good, after the first listen,
but then it kind of started to sound monotonous.  I seriously have fallen
in love with every project/record he's been involved with, but this was a
little too generic, like Air Miami outtakes.  The lyrics are innane
(which is kind of to be expected from Mark).  Supposedly, he was drunk,
and he did them all in one night, and in one take, so I don't think Mark
is taking it too seriously.  Kind of dissappointing if you're expecting
another Me.me.me., but it's kind of fun overall.  BTW, I just sold it to
raise money for the ESP Continent CD I found new at Reckless this

lovesliescrushing are a mix of guitar noise and those
breathyetherealfemalevocals we all love. The songs are all rather
amorphous (one might say ambient) but -- einexile to the contrary -- most
of them do have rhyme and reason and progression. If you like My Bloody
Valentine's "Loveless", the Cocteau Twins' "Victorialand" and any of the
noisier stuff that Medicine did, and have some fondness for
ambient/experimental music, you'll probably like lovesliescrushing.

You can probably get their CD 'bloweyelashwish' by mailorder -- check the
Usual Sources which are listed in the 4AD-L FAQ at
which I believe has a web site of their own, which is probably also
listed in the FAQ.

So when is their second album 'Xuvetyn' going to be released anyway? A
few months ago we heard it would be a few more months.  I'm tired of
waiting...

hey matt,

i moved to durham last august and was in the same boat.  record stores?  i work
part-time at poindexter in durham which is fairly good, except for maybe imports

they take a little longer, and i usually just mailorder them.  in raleigh i've
only been to the schoolkids on hillsburough st.  i think there is a couple of
record exchanges in raleigh... i've only been to the one in chapel hill.  as
far as clubs go, i've seen many a great show at the cat's cradle this past
year.  it couldn't be no more than 30 mins from raleigh, i wouldn't think.
also, the lizard and snake in chapel hill had mark robbinson solo one night,
and the swirlies another.  the only place i've been to in raleigh is the
ritz.  they had the amps once, and mercury rev once.  i think stereolab played
at the brewery for mars aquatic, but i wasn't here and haven't ever been to the
brewery.  i also catch some shows in dc.  not sure if i'm going to the cocteau
twins this time, but i definitely plan to go for dead can dance.  as far as plac
s
to hang out, the only place i frequent in raleigh is the stingray room.  they ha
e
good prices on beer and old pinball machines.  plus they usually play good music

except i've never heard a 4ad band there.  sorry if this is vague... let me know
if i can try to give you more info.

Subject: Cocteau Twins promo CD info


In Canada, PolyGram prepared a very nifty promo CD to help launch
"Milk & Kisses".  Instead of just featuring tracks from "M&K", the CD
features tracks from throughout the entire CT catalogue.  It is such a
nice promo I felt like describing it for those not in Canada who are
unaware just how excellent a job PolyGram does in promoting bands
ontheir roster.  The biggest problem I have with the promo is just that -
it'sa promo.  It's definitely worthy of receiving a commercial release!
Here are the details...

                COCTEAU TWINS
                (a taste of) milk & kisses
                PCD436
                Fontana via Mercury/Polydor

                Sugar Hiccup (Album version)
                Aikea-Guinea
                Lorelei
                Donimo
                Feet-Like Fins
                Carolyn's Fingers
                A Kissed Out Red Floatboat
                Iceblink Luck
                Heaven Or Las Vegas
                Wolf In The Breast
                Bluebeard
                Evangeline
                Pink Orange Red ("Twinlights" version)
                Rilkean Heart (Album version)
                Treasure Hiding
                Tishbite
                Seekers Who Are Lovers

The total running time is 74:40.  Artwork is adapted from "M&K"
designs, with the front cover almost identical to "M&K" other than
the "(a taste of)" part, "a cocteau twins music sampler" and the
"treasure" web site address tastefully included.

The inner text of the CD booklet reads:

The beauty of the Cocteau Twins is their instinct for survival, and
their quest for musical glory.  The earth turns on its weary axis and t
he Cocteau twins live on, invincible, constantly coming up with the
goods, forever infusing the world with their peculiar perfume.

Written in a little house in Brittany for two months, and then recorded
at Pors Poulhan, Bretagne & their own studio September sounds in
Twickenham, "Milk & Kisses" is the band's ninth album.  Robin
describes its recording process as "concise"; Simon expands "It
was more like "Treasure".  We were all in the studio at the same
time."

"Milk & Kisses" is markedly different from its predecessor, more up
ad down, plantive at one end, distorted and anxious at the other.
Liz described the mood as "more exaggerated than any other
albums  really.  Very, very sad and more realistic than ever."  Further
deatails are not forthcoming, needless to say, the recognisable
word count is lower than on "Four Calendar Cafe" but tantalizing
nontheless  "Some of are very lyrical, some of them aren't.  The
lyrical ones were when Liz was going through a little bit of pain",
offers Robin, "That's my perspective anyway."

We consider ourselves very fortunate to distribute the entire
Cocteau Twins catalogue.  This Canadian-only retrospective
attempts to capture a unique aural journey from one of the world's
most innovative groups.  We hope you enjoy listening, as much
as we enjoyed putting it together.

...Yeah, when it comes to a true love of the stuff they release, it's
the folks at PolyGram, or Mercury/Polydor as they're now called,
that come to mind when thinking of major labels.  In Canada, 4AD
is handled by them (excepting Belly and Throwing Muses) and you
can tell they really like the music from the work they put into
promotion material similar to the Cocteau Twins promo.  Mercury/
Polydor also distribute Beggars Banquet, Go! Discs,and This Way
Up among others including the trio of PolyGram-owned companies
A&M, Island and Motown.  At any rate, i can't say enough good things
about the people at Mercury/Polydor here in Canada.  They love the
music, they love creating innovative promo stuff and do it all so
consistently that I am vastly impressed.  I'm constantly amazed at
the work they do.

Well, that's the brief recap of the PolyGram "Milk & Kisses" promo
CD, released only in Canada, but worthy of worldwide attention...
