It's also in the University Tower store and i suspect in many other Tower chains
across the country. I stood in Tower for 45 minutes or so listening to the
album in it's entirety (they really should get forward scanning CD players in
there).
This is a DIFFERENT band! IMO they have made a great leap from the DCD of the
last few albums (larger than between any other two consecutive albums). I liked
what i heard but i'm sad to hear the medieval/celtic DCD get buried. I guess
you ppl. with the promo had told me that it would be "different" but it still
sounded much more different than i anticipated. I expected that the album would
be more rhythmic and less divergent (Brendan vs. Lisa)--it was ... BUT i thought
that latin influence business was ... well ... a joke. Date: Wed, 5 Jun 1996 00:51:35 -0500

Back to my Parasol problem... they answered the email I sent them a couple

declare anything 'lost,' so I get to wait some more.
Glad they responded this time, though.

I used that particular phrase 'the powers that be' as I wasn't sure who'd
banned/withdrawn it - but to stretch a point, I'm sure that Kubrick could be see
as a power that is/was...
But, for example, owning the video IS illegal now, so some other power that
was/is must have *actually* banned it or something...

Hi!
This msg is especially to those in Germany. I'd love to go to the July 24th
concert in Berlin, but I live in Warsaw and don't know how to buy or book
tickets. It is much easier to get to the Prague concert, and I wanted to do so,
but it turned out we (i.e. me and my friend) both can't go there. So if you
know something and are willing to help, I'll be more than grateful...
BTW, what is the date of the European premiere of Spiritchaser. I was told that
in Poland it is due to come out on June 17. Can it be true?
Hope to hear sth soon...
Bye

im convinced now that the intended playing speed of the
little princess 7" is 33rpm. this follows a pattern for
timestereo 7" records which are listed as 'ep's'.
although i agree that the difference is difficult to
discern, as it sounds kool at 45 too.
i listened to the ESP FAMILY 7" on 45 for a day or two
before realizing that it too plays at 33.

as well in some pj harvey kind of way, named after some egyptian goddess or
something, brief piece in the nme this week which ends with the line:
'brains' is out now on epic.
which should be enough to get you a copy. (sister ray have copies for sale i
notice, see the ads in the nme or email me back and i'll get you a copy next

Nut, Egyptian sky goddess whose body forms the arch of the sky, wife and
sister of Geb, Earth god. Two of the older gods, going back further than the
more familiar Osiris, Isis, Horus, Thoth pantheon.

Hello...Listening to the local college station...
Anyone familiar with a band from Ontario called Sianspheric. The track that
the station played was called "Zoe" and it sounded as much like the Red House
Painters to make me wonder for a second. A very good song. If the rest of
this LP, called Somnium (sp?) sounds like this one song did, anyone who is
heavy into RHP might want to check them out.
The singer's voice actually sounds like Mark K. singing in a higher register.
The instrumentation is very RHP (acoustic carries the song with distorted
guitar floating on top and very subtle drum playing).
They are on a label called Sonic Union...
Any thoughts? Anyone familiar?...
O.K. Bye,

Incidentally, regarding the Cocteau Twins.....
Rumor has it that the whole playing at St. Albetus Church was a
set-up/publicity stunt thing to get the show more attention. All along the
plan was to have the show at the Sanctum. The promoters (sneaky promoters)
felt that getting a real church involved would spark the interest of the
media (it did) and sell more tickets for the show. I think that is pretty
shitty, but oh well.
Anyway, just thought you might like the inside scoop.

I have a promo tape of 'Nut' but as it turned up with a few others I can't
quite remember which one it was (stoopid I know). I think it may have only had
about three tracks on it.
Your quip about the States suggests you ain't there - if you are in the UK, and
don't get any better offers I'll try and sort out sending you a copy.
If you are interested then mail me direct on:
[email protected]
and we'll see what happens - if anyone else is interested then tough...it is
too hot for generosity to extend to starting a mail order service.

Just to say that the NME is online now.
Their homepage is at www.nme.co.uk.
You need to register first.
I don't care too much about NME though.
But if NME is online,Melody Maker might follow.
Let's hope for that :)

Thanks to everyone who's sent information about the new Blue Nile album. I
can't wait! If anyone hears information about particular concert dates
and/or single release information, please send it to the list.
By the way, can anyone confirm whether they're still on Linn records in the
UK? CDEurope listed them as on Warner Bros., but that may be the continent
rather than England.
And for those of you on the list who haven't heard the Blue Nile, check
them out. Some of you may know that I'm a total 4AD fanatic, but I think
the Blue Nile blows them all away! No one just "likes" the Blue Nile (at
least in my experience). You either hate them or they become part of your
soul. The music and tunes are amazing and different from anything you've
ever heard (especially on their first album, "A Walk Across The Rooftops"),
but keep in mind that their singer is an acquired taste. Technically, he's
got a _very_ weak and thin voice. However, I love it, and wouldn't want
anyone else to sing their songs. For all his technical limitations, I
think he's the most expressive vocalist there is. I get a lump in my
throat every time he sings the last line in "Headlights on the Parade."
And now to our regularly scheduled programming.

Actually, I think their lp is somewhat reminiscent of Verve's "A Storm in
Heaven". Hadn't thought about rhp. I'll have to compare them! The
highlight of the album (for me) is a 21 minute instrumental that closes
the lp called "Where the Planets Revolve, I Wish I Was There"
(grammatically incorrect, but who really cares... please no one answer
that!)
The album (Somnium) is worth picking up if you can find it.
