Seefeel - using guitar sounds to make techno compositions.  Early stuff
sounded similar to My Bloody Valentine ("More Like Space" has one track
which is almost identical in feel to parts of "Loveless"), sound has
progressed through "Quique" (multi-layered loops of guitar samples) to
"Succour" (sound now barely recognisable as guitar-sourced, much more
based on intricate rhythmic patterns).
"Pure, Impure", which collects two EPs and an Aphex Twin remix EP)

Labradford - slow, lo-fi drone/ambient guitar + synth type thang.  The
rumbles and hisses are part of the sound (taken to an extreme by the
band Stars of the Lid, whose music consists of little else).
"Prazision" has bits of spoken poetry, "proper" songs and more extreme
sound pieces, "A Stable Reference" adds a bass player and is more
song-oriented.

Flying Saucer Attack - mixture of styles - some of the songs take the
Jesus and Mary Chain's early style (horrible noise semi-obscuring
traditional pop songs) and push it to an extreme.  Some are repetitive
Krautrock, some have bongos or rain noises as part of the sound.

Oh, Christ.  Now "Wings of Desire" is definately one of my favorite
films of all time, and I like Wim Wenders a lot (don't forget "Paris,
Texas"), I hated "Until the End of the World"--which, incidentally,
was how long it felt like it was going to last.  I have heard that
the first part was okay, but the memory of it has been completely
destroyed by the last half, which goes for a while, feels like its
going to end, then keeps going, feels like its going to end, etc.
etc. as nauseum.  I believe fellow listie Darryl Roy watched it with
me and will be able to concur.  But I advise all of you, don't rent
it--you could do so much better renting a Coen brothers (*joel* and
ethan, to settle the debate) film.

Btw, did anyone see the sorta sequal to "Wings"?  I can't even
remember what it was called....  If you saw it, was it any good?

Subject: Michael Brook


On Michael Brook topic: Shona (the album) is a pile of pants. Do not waste
your money on this.

I thought it would have been great coz Live at the Aquarium is a lovely
album - I actually prefer it to Cobalt Blue. The version of Lakbossa on
L@TAq is very different and, to me, is his best piece ever. Andean and
Ultramarine are similar to Cobalt but again, I think better.

Why is this? Maybe he laboured too long on the production of the studio
album - he is after all a producer mainly.

I saw him live at the Sylvian | Fripp  Road to Graceland tour - and he blew
the socks off the main act (of which he was part). So much so, at the
interval there was a long queue of people waiting to buy the Cobablt Blue's
which were for sale. Thus it makes me wonder more why he agreed to let them
release the very inferior Shona - which is way too bassy.

L@TAq has a track called Cascade which is not on Cobalt - it's well worth
the money just for that one track if you've been thinking that it isn't
worth buying a live album with the same tracks on it.

Brook also appears on the live album by Sylvian | Fripp - Damage. Good bet
just for the first and last tracks, though you don't really hear the Brook
sound that much.

Like someone else said, you can definately hear his sound on the Ali Kahn
album. This is a very worldy music style though. Again beautiful in another
way.

Sleeps with the Fishes by Brook and Pieter Nooten (that's how you spell it)
strips down some Xymox tracks to their bare bones, but I felt was mainly
about Nooten - Brook is listed as the producer, I wonder how much he had to
do with the actual playing...

Hybrid took me a bit of listening to get into - I've still got to be in
mood for it, but I do love it now. It's nothing like Cobalt or Aquarium -
more along the lines of Lovely Thunder by Budd (shit, did I just agree with
Einexile - oh fuck, no).

Apart from that he's done Music for Films III and Dream (?) with that
Indain Mandolin player U.Shrinivas or something. I've not heard either of
these so no comment there.

Hope my opinions help.

No one has mentioned Gary Oldman's performance in "Prick Up Your Ears" as the
playwright, Joe Orton.  I think it was one of the first times I saw him.
Really great performance.  It's too bad more people don't know about Joe
Orton...he was a brilliant writer with little formal education.

Back to music...I loved the soundtrack to Romeo is Bleeding, but I normally
don't like jazz - is there a huge difference between Mark Isham and other
contemporary jazz artists that I may have heard and not liked.  I'm sorry to be
so completely ignorant about jazz, but back in the days when I worked music
retail, I found jazz customers to be sort of snobby and overly-cerebral & it
really turned me off to the music.  I'd appreciate any comments someone has
about this...

When I orginally signed on via a web page, I got this email:

>You have been added to the 4AD-L list.

The web page has no page to unsub from these mailing groups, so I can't
unsubscribe the way I subscribed.

I would appreciate some help in this matter.  Nothing's worked so far, and
I've tried sending email directly from my email account (not through
Eudora), and that hasn't worked either.  I really don't see how the list
manager could be away for a month without someone else being left in charge
to take care of problems such as these.

The moral of this story is that I won't subscribe to lists via web pages.

Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't take the dates listed at the 4ad site as gospel truth, because
the aug 10 date at L.A. is actually on the 11th.  Not sure what's happening

Actually it's the most old-Stereolabby sounding song on ETK, but the
album is quite good anyway. It's not up there with Peng! or Transient
Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements, but far superior to Mars Audiac

Thanks for the review ... I'll have to look for the UK "Cybele's Reverie"

I too find this thread very interesting and a little frightening -- I
mean, we all have such obviously highly divergent tastes. But, anyway,
looking through my 48 CD wallet of stuff that I bring in to listen to at
work  (items marked with an asterisk are somehow thislisty):

Main - the Hz series (Beggars Banquet)
Moonshake - Eva Luna (Too Pure) *
Moonshake - Big Good Angel (Too Pure) *
Moonshake - The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow (Too Pure) *
Codeine - The White Birch (Sub Pop)
Fugazi - 13 Songs (Dischord)
Fugazi - Repeater (Dischord)
Fugazi - In On The Kill Taker (Dischord)
The Crownhate Ruin - Until The Eagle Grins (Dischord)
Rex - s/t (Southern) *
Sleater-Kinney - Call The Doctor (Chainsaw) *
Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing (Spin Art / Slumberland) *
Lilys - Eccsame The Photo Band (Spin Art / Slumberland) *
Superconductor - Bastardsong (Boner)
Medicine - Her Highness (American) *
Th' Faith Healers - Lido (Too Pure) *
Catherine Wheel - Chrome (Fontana) *
Bob Mould - Bob Mould (Rykodisc) *
Bob Mould - Black Sheets of Rain (Virgin) *
Red House Painters - that recent one ;) (4AD) *
His Name Is Alive - Home Is In Your Head (4AD) *
Slowdive - Pygmalion (Creation) *
Mojave 3 - Ask Me Tomorrow (4AD) *
Download - Sidewinder (Nettwerk)
Download - The Eyes of Stanley Pain (Nettwerk)
The Black Dog - Parallel (GPR) *
The Black Dog - Temple of Transparent Balls (GPR) *
Cherry Bomb - Electronics For Dogs (Freedag Nuveaux) *
YO3 - Bitter Sweet (GPR) *
Sun Kings - Hall of Heads (GPR)
Subtropic - Homebrew (Reflective)
V/A - Objets D'ART 92-95 (New Electronica) *
Emmanuel Top - Release (Attack)
V/A - Rauschen 10 (Force Inc.)
V/A - DJ Kicks -- Carl Craig (!K7)
V/A - Jeff Mills Live At The Liquid Room (REACT)
69 - The Sound of Music (R&S)
V/A - X-Mix -- The Electronic Storm (mixed by Mr. C)
Psychonauts - Alchemy (Reload Ambient)
Phlegm - Ashes (Reload Ambient)

So there you have it. Full-on lushly orchestrated MBV / Spacemen 3
ripoffs (Lilys) to abstract scrapings of sound (Main, Phlegm) to
obnoxious punkish noises (the Crownhate Ruin) to self-absorbed
melancholia (Red House Painters, Bob Mould, Rex) to crunchy obnoxious
techno (Emmanuel Top, Rauschen 10, Jeff Mills) to stuff that's everything
at once (Medicine ;). Somewhat unusually, there's no Swans or skin in my
little pouch; I rarely go anywhere without at least one of Michael Gira's
dirgelike tone poems with me. Similarly, the techno I haul to work with
me is generally much less gentle / trendily intelligent than the
selection I have there. I like that hardcore sound.

Subject: new Church, details of c.w. b-sides album


i don't knwo if these have been discussed, i think is aw soemone
mentioning that catherine wheel thingy... but anyways, there is a
brand spanking new Church album out, it seems it was an ausralian
import here ( but at $12, it seemed a baragin, if its a real Aussie
import ).  I had no clue this was coming out right now, so if anyone
was wondering, it certainly is.  and its darn cool! it is called
'magician among the spirits'... it is on deep karma/white, whoever
they are, and is distributed by Mushrooom ( as some may expect ).  and
it contains a steve harley cover song 'ritz' if that measn anything to
anyone.  10 tracks, 66 minutes - they do specify a mailing list and a web
site, and an address to steve kilbey and says ' but don't expect a
response' ! ok then :) its nice that peter koppes is back in there :)

ok, so for those who need etails of thioos c.w. v-sides compilation,
here are some - i guess it was supposed ot be out this past wek or so,
and is now moved to august?
well, its not like anyone who actually bought their ep's is really
going to find too much new. it doesn't go before 'crank'.
the tracks are :

heal 2  ( ? sounds familiar, a new-ish b-side? i haven't paid
attention to their new output... )
wish you were here ( show me mary promo )
mouthful of air ( s.m.m 12", also on a fontana promo cd )
car
girl stand still ( both from s.m.m again...)
saccharine ( black metallic )
backwards guitar ( from some godawful new single, i saw that and
figured it was probably exactly what it states... )
tongue twisted ( bl. metallic ltd. cd single )
these four walls ( s.m.m. )
high heels ( s.m.m 12" , and that promo cd )
harder than i am ( i don't know of this one - sounds like a new title,
to go with their hard image :) )
la la la la la - crank

so, no 'dead girlfriend', and nothing from their first four or five
ep's.

is there any reason for these guys anymore?


as i checked through my stuff to see where these come from, i see
i have an extra crank 12" pic. disc.  with 'painful thing' and 'black
metallic' from peel in '91. anyone interested, send me a cash or trade
offer!

In almost all cases the solution is to change the "return address" field
in your mail program (assuming you're using a POP-based mail client like
Eudora or Claris Emailer) to the address the listserv thinks you're
subscribed under. Kit's mail was apparently going through a gateway that
automatically reset the return address, which is why it didn't work for
her. I set _my_ return address to her address and sent the signoff, and
it worked.
This does NOT mean I'm going to set myself up as an unsubscribe service
for everyone else who might be in this state! I just don't have the time.
Fortunately I think these days most people are using POP clients to read
their mail, and most people don't have weird gateways, so the standard
solution will work. If it doesn't you might want to speak with your own
mail administrator, who can use the technique discussed in the faq
(www.mooseyard.com/Jens/4AD_FAQ.html).

        Well, I can't argue with that...I suppose you've seen the movie,

Mishima rationalizes his death thru art. Fascinating stuff. (Ever read
anything by Mishima? What an incredible writer...one of the best...)
        Mishima's death was tragic, and yet somehow inspiring...he didn't
commit suicide for the usual reasons of personal weakness, he died out of
a commitment to his art and his purpose. I mean, okay, the guy was a
fascist, but he had cojones.

Seen 'Ghost in the Shell Yet'? Not as good as Akira..but it's THIS close....

   True Romance  (another great performance by Gary Oldman!)

Well, a great cameo anyway...

   Red/white/blue trilogy
   Romeo Is Bleeding
   Once Upon a Time in the West/Once Upon a Time in America  (anything by
Leone)
   Blade Runner
   anything by the Cohen brothers
   Powaqqatsi/Koyanisqatsi
   The Professional

Jean Reno is SOOO cool...and sensitive...oh so sensitive...
   Cool Hand Luke

   Maybe I should make that my top ten favorite writers or directors:

   Ethan/Alan Cohen
   Luc Besson
   Sergio Leone
   Ridley Scott
   Francis Ford Coppola

Hmm, have you seen the trailer for the Robin Williams movie he directed? Looks
like it's gonna be a BIG hit (pun intended, I am so damn clever...). I think
Francis is doing a little too much coke these days...

Quentin Tarantino (however you spell it)
     Kryszewwski (i know its misspelled--the czech guy who did the 3
     colors)

What about Akira Kurosawa? He's the MAN! Oh well....

On a slightly related musical note:
  Anyone have the AKIRA soundtrack by the Geinoh Yamashirogumi? It's
incredible...but it would be nice to find some of their other stuff. Anyone know
if it's available...?

  It fits pretty well.......

p.s. - I don't know how unreleased the music is, but i know the medicine song is
released, and the
belly song is a "Star" B-Side.
