this world is not my home is a variation on lyric by mr. guthrie. he is in
the folk section. universal frequencies is basically a beach boys song (i
forget which one) with different lyrics.
i like the album...
the picture is of warren defever. i asked him. he said oh my god. he said
that he never saw it before. he said in classic warren tone, "ya know i
just do the music and ivo gets vaughan to do all that packaging stuff. if
it was up to me i'd never get it done."
warren is fun.

KARMA
karma ka.rma. Also karman. Skr. karma, karman-, action, fate. In
Buddhism, the sum of a person's actions in one of his successive
states of existence, regarded as determining his fate in the next;
hence, necessary fate or destiny, following as effect from cause. Also
in Hinduism.Latterly adopted by Western popular `meditative' groups.
* 1971 Nat. Geographic Mar. 321/2 Officials, too, are subject to the
law of karma-that sooner or later every action brings its
retribution, in this existence or in one to come.

Nephilim - (Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33, R.V.), giants, the Hebrew word left
untranslated by the Revisers, the name of one of the Canaanitish
tribes. The Revisers have, however, translated the Hebrew gibborim, in
Gen. 6:4, "mighty men."
[Gen 6:1] When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and
daughters were born to them,
[Gen 6:2] the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and
they took to wife such of them as they chose.
[Gen 6:3] Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for
ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty
years."
[Gen 6:4] The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also
afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and
they bore children to them. These were the mighty men that were of
old, the men of renown.
interbreeding between the heavenly beings and the earthlings
produced a mighty race of hybrids who lived longer and
were more powerful than the judeo/christian god's favored
batch of primates, and so the flood was devised as a way
of getting rid of these more-evolved rivals for the
control of terra. the book of judges, however, seems
to confirm along with the passage above that jehovah
was not entirely successful in wiping them out with
the deluge. they were on the earth in those days
(pre flood) and _after_. hmmmmmm.

It is indeed. It's estimated that on average, 3 are burned to death every day.

sorry for the ot, don't want to offend anyone, but I live in Roma and we are
full of say very concerned people that sometimes get angry when they think
their belief are offended and are called bigots. this is because
catholicism is the main religion here and it seem nice to be an offsider.
but then I see that we take a lot of care to not offend other people with
words we would give to the catholics without thinking twice, and also we
don't tell this people what we tell to the catholics, that is they are
bigots. this is strange to me. we are much kinder with minorances.
also, I don't think that light or hilarious word should be offensive all the
way.

come on, this is like to say that Democrito really discovered atoms... he
talked about something that now could resemble atoms, but has and could not
have had any experimental evidence of what he said.

Twas recently queried:

> sold out yet?
the crew with whom i will be attending this much anticipated
event is comprised of 12 people, aged between 23 and 40.
i was having this conversation with mr. devine privately,
but would anyone like to comment on what or why it is that
dcd out of all the 4ad groups i dig has this universal
appeal? such a diverse sampling from all age and culture
groups who have so little in common musically other than
dcd?
deep forest (gag) and enigma (puke) dont pull this off.
cocteaux maybe, but certainly to a lesser extent.
my own thinking is that it cannot be that all these
various people have such good tastes in music. alot
of the other shit they dig is shit. is it perhaps
that dcd have tapped into something...sorry... precognitive
in the rhythms and sounds they create. like the music
finds a switch or trigger inside of us which activates
pleasures and reactions which for some fans with
otherwise abhorrant musical diets (tori amos, for example)
never gets tickled? why dont these same people learn
from the experience, and denounce their schwag once
electrafied by dcd? one can only wonder...

I think the Dif Juz was called "extractions" if I'm not mistaken. I'm
not sure if it's in print anymore but I know I've seen a couple of
copies in the used bins here on the canadian west coast....

Paul Buchanan's voice always reminds me of Peter Gabriel for some reason
(especially 'Let's Go Out Tonight' from Hats).
Anyway, the best thing about The Blue Nile (IMHO) is not the vocals, but
the *texture* of each song. Every sound, every note is absolutely
perfect. Just listen to 'A Walk Across The Roooftops' to see what I mean.
I was trembling the first time I played 'Hats', because I didn't think
they could match the aural masterpiece of its predecessor. Luckily, I
wasn't disappointed.
Mind you, this habit of releasing an album every 6 or 7 years is probably
overdoing the 'let's not rush this thing' ethic. Oh well, the price of
perfection....
Cheers,
Geoff

To the very informed out there:=20

for the 'A wlk across ....' since I=B4m planning on getting it too.=20
Gracias!

Correct! It contains 9 tracks + 4 more from an early EP. I got my capy 6
months ago via 4AD mail order. I=B4m sure they still have it. In general, it
is a good album, not one to die for, but a good one. The 4 tracks from the
Ep are, IMO, the best from the album. The overall sound is very similar to
the track 'No Motion' from LIAE. Check out 'Love Insane' with vocals by Liz
Frazer.
Nos Vemos...
