Thanks for posting the info - I'm listening to the sound clips
right now! This is really spacey etheral stuff. I just can't
imagine them being included on a punk compilation CD (as some
reviewer entitled the "Cooking by Strobelight" (KVRX) comp.)
Definitely the "right" sound for my taste buds!
How about finding X-Ray on the net? Can they handle foreign
orders?

I am a complete non-Dylan type-o-person, so I had no idea "Queen Jane"
was a Dylan song. Other than those, "Oh, Sister" is a Dylan cover
as well.

If someone on the list asks Ryko and gets some information - please post
it to the list. If this box really is going to be released, we'll all
have everything with Slowdive except for the never recorded songs - which
are three / four ones. And that hardly calls for a compilation CD to
be made. Then the Mp3 format is probably the best way to go.

As far as I know, no demos from these albums are in circulation, though
they are probably resting on a shelf in a studio somewhere.

Yeah - this is a "fan base" thing with no profit involved at all. Though
I believe Creation still own the rights to their material, and the band
is in no position to say "sure, go ahead" or not. And to ask mr McGee is
just a dead end. "Bring cash or another Oasis and we'll talk". Sad but
probably very true.

Yes Steve! The Autumns are fantastic, big Slowdive influence, and some
Cocteau Twins, MBV, and a little Verve maybe. Not really vocally though,
but he's got a great voice. I recommend both the ep and their album. I
had a chance to see them here in Detroit last year. I think Myself and
three friends were the only one's there to see them. (they played at a
lounge/danceclub-type place, strange venue for a band like them) Anyway,
they were just as or even better live. They pulled off every sound from
the album, which includes (pay attention fellow guitar players) some
amazing Slowdive-and-beyond guitar AND bass sounds. I did get a chance
to talk ith the bass player after the show, I asked him about influences
and guess who he mentioned first...Slowdive.
It'll be exciting to see what these guys put out in the future.
adios,
Justin

Ah, yet another good recommendation... I checked out the web (as usual)
and found a bunch of reviews (all mentioning MBV, Slowdive and Cocteau
Twins) and that they have two official homepages (both made by their
management, one slightly old and one newer) - but none had any sound
clips. :-( Anyone know of a site/page that does?
Here are the two homepages (if anyone's interested):
The older one:
http://members.aol.com/sbmuzic/autumns/index.html
The newer one:

Well, Rykodisc does have a website at http://www.rykodisc.com
and e-mail info at info@rykodisc.com
I assume it's the same label? ryko and rykodisc?
Don't see anything about slowdive but I did see something that says:
"world's first cd-only label" which makes a multimedia release unlikely I
suppose.
Perhaps if they hear about enough interest in a slowdive rarities comp they
might take up the idea if they haven't already.
