I am a new user to this site so I just thought I would itroduce myself - I am Sillabyss and I am absolutely in love with Slowdive and Mojave 3. I work extensively in the music industry as a recording engineer and producer, and I must say, all this talk about slowdive and Mojave bootlegs sounds sooo tempting - if anyone needs any servicing done on these recordings, ie: improved sound quality - let me know and we can work something out - free of charge of course. Just to wet all your apetites I have a recording of the Mojave 3 show in Toronto a couple of summers back complete with their accoustic sessions at HMV. When I have time, I shall repair these recordings and post them somewhere for everyone to download....for now and the immediate future this will just be a tease...haha..anyways....peace and love to all,..... Sincerely, Sillabyss P.S. - does anyone have any news from Rykodisc about a Slowdive Box Set? P.P.S. - whatever happened to those early demos etc that were going to be burned onto a CD...are they available from anyone? Cheers!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Jun 1998 07:28:14 PDT From: "Pearson R.

(who was great as well) about a year ago my old band played with Auburn Lull and Mahogany at a spacerock fest in columbus, ohio. Aurburn Lull justv blew me away. Three guitars and drums with brushes and felt mallets. All the guitarists had processors, and had completely washed out sounds that were just great. They weren't very loud, but that was okay. One of the guitarists picked up a bass for a few songs, but it was just as washed out and effected. They were probably my favourite band of the show. I heard they're working on a full length, but nothing has come out since the 12" I beleive... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jun 1998 10:47:00 -0400 (EDT) From: butterfly mcqueen Subject: Re: Auburn Lull >i got their split band EP with Mahogany yesterday. have they (Auburn >Lull) made a full length yet? they just finished recording a full-length, actually. i don't know what the release date is, but i'm guessing that burnt hair is putting it out. so what's going on with monaural? i've asked this several times and no one replied. i love that rhodes/harmonic 12" on bh. gotta have more. ; e. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Jun 1998 12:15:56 -0500 From: Agent Cooper Subject: I thought the list went down.

There's a limit which says if no digest has been sent out for seven days, whatever has been posted so far will be compiled into one, and sent out. So a week is the maximum time one has to wait for a new digest. But is sure feels like two weeks doesn't it? ;) > What did I say was next on my MP3 pages? Checking the digest archives, your last post to the list was pretty much exactly one month ago, and you had just put "Good Day Sunshine", "Missing You" and "Golden Hair" on your sites. A few weeks earlier you listed a couple of upcoming files, and from that list "Country Rain" from the US release of Souvlaki and "Losing Today" from the Morningrise EP, are up next. //Erik ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jun 1998 19:31:07 -0400 From: "Alexis Pumphrey" Subject: austin info...

hey...

it seems i've seen a few people on the list mention austin, tx. i'll be there for my annual visit june 15th-21st, & i'm just wondering if there will be anything else worth checking out that week besides bardo pond & cornershop. if anything, those 2 shows will make up for the complete musical desert called charleston, sc. but- the more music the merrier. thanks...

believe me, alexis

But there you go... > >this troubbles me.. i'm quite into swevedriver too.. but come on, ejector >seat is an AMAZING album. this can't be said about the new one tho I haven't liked Ejector Seat too much nor have I liked 99th Dream or Mezcal Head. I just really got into the Raise-era sound and because everything else thereafter hasn't been like that I've found it really difficult to get into... >ejector seat reservation has no pounding metal tunes on it.. i know what >allistar means tho, and i think raise is the "metal" album. oh, but i like >it :) Mmmm... Ejector Seat is too wishy-washy for my liking. A bit of a "nothing" album... my preference, but there you go... Hey, speaking of Swervedriver type music, I got a new CD yesterday by a band called "St. Johnny" called "Speed is dreaming". If anyone likes Raise-era Swervedriver then this album by St. Johnny is well worth checking out... quite a similar sound only not as psychadelic - it's more "garage" sounding, like Brian Jonestwon Massacre, or something like that. Check it out!!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 18:09:22 +1000 (EST) From: Alister Thomas Subject: Creation records catalogue number anomily Hey, speaking of Swervedriver, I was looking at my copy of Ejector Seat Reservation last night and I noticed that it has the same catalogue number as '5' EP by Slowdive which is CRESCD 157. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just my copy of Ejector Seat Reservation that has this oddity as a claim to fame??? If anyone's noticed this do they have any idea as to why this is or is it just Creation Records being strange... Bizarre, that... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 18:15:07 +1000 (EST) From: Alister Thomas Subject: Re: Ocean Blue Yeah, thnaks for all the Ocean Blue comments. I had a bit of a listen to "Cerulean" again last night and didn't mind it that much. Although I don't think I'm ever going to buy anymore of their albums again, "Cerulean" has a nice little niche in my CD collection and is one CD I'll pull out every now and then. I guess I was just a bit misguided when I first bought that CD because I'd had it recommended to me by someone who thought that it fitted nicely into the whole shoegaze/ethereal/dream-pop genre. How wrong they were!! I went into listening to the album expecting something completely different to what it turned out to be which probably explains why I didn't like it much... take each CD on it's own merits, I sez... maybe that's advice I should heed when listening to non-Raise-era Swervedriver albums!!!! But anyway... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 18:22:31 +1000 (EST) From: Alister Thomas Subject: RE: Outside Your Room (dodgy Dave) Tom Glad your CD turned up!!! Yeah, Dave just sent me a copule of CD's from the UK that turned up yesterday (only took 5 days to get here!! - very quick, indeed!) and yeah, I can most definitely second your comment about Dave being legit and on the level and all that... even before I received the CD's I would have quite happily made that comment. Yeah, I've talked to him quite a bit over the past few months and could honestly say that he's perfectly honest and trustworthy and wouldn't do anything dodgy, so if anyone on the list deals with him in buying CD's from him, or whatever, then DON'T WORRY!! He's perfectly honest...

Cerulean is as close as one's gonna get to dreampop from them. They are more pop than anything else. Cerulean is my favorite album by them, though. I don't know if it's the guitars or what, but the album gives me this soaring feeling, like flying. Yeah...trippy. From a band that is pretty untrippy. Anyway, they come the closest to "perfect pop" that I've ever heard.

Solarium, a local established band (single released, just finished new recordings, play out fairly regularly) seeks droney, experimental keyboardist. A big plus if you are a female and can sing....It would also be cool if you could play some guitar...Willing to experiment with sounds a must...Influences: VU/MBV/Mogwai/Stereolab/etc...call Kevin:(415)391-7362 read below for a better bio of the band.... ===================== SOLARIUM All the Time Single drive23 Solarium formed in early '97 in San Francisco with the shared goal of creating spacey music. The band has already been through a few incarnations, before arriving at the current configuration which includes guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, and a few other toys. The members all hail from various parts of the U.S. Eliot Van Buskirk (New York City) plays bass and has been making music using a variety of things since age 3. Chris Cooke, (Philadelphia) plays guitar, keys, sings, and whistles, adding subtlety and mood. Kevin Wood (Texas) is a student of the effects-laden guitar sound, covering vox, guitars, and analogue synth. Drummer Darren Schoen (Maryland) drives the rhythm, and isn't afraid of electronic beats. They play locally in the Bay Area and have recorded two sessions over the last year, and have released their first single (from the first session) on Drive-In Records. The A-side (All the Time) is a fairly poppy effort you could probably see yourself driving to, while The B-side (Fly Away) will have you staying in on a rainy Sunday staring at the ceiling. The band has channelled a new escape route from the Spacemen 3 dronerock riverbed, using tools fashioned from such diverse sounds as My Bloody Valentine, Velvet Underground, Stereolab, The Fall, Yo La Tengo, Slowdive, and Mogwai. Their current sound has been described as "shimmering summer storms that turn into raging wind tunnels." The band are currently debating what to do with the newly recorded material.
