Mime-Version: 1.0
4AD new releases from rioux's records.
HIS NAME IS ALIVE - Fort Lake CD/LP + 7" (4AD CAD 8009) $24.00 CD / $18.00
LP+7"
DUE JUNE 22ND.
This (again) is going to be a 4AD u.k. only release. His name
is Alive, who began many years ago doing experimenting w/ etherealism,
then continued w/ a sound derivative of late 60's a.m.
pop radio found in their more recent releases, now are expanding
into the opaque and vague area of rock. Warren Defever (and others)
maintenance of atmosphere and originality is unrivaled regardless
of what influences appear on each recording.
The bonus 7" included w/ the LP (heavy gram vinyl) includes 3
extra tracks, "woodstock", "swan song", & "last train". These
tracks are supposedly on the CD as well.
THEIVERY CORPORATION - Sounds from the theivery hi-fi CD
(4AD CAD 8006) $20.00
Formed in 1992 as the production team of Rob Garza & Eric Hilton.
Some tracks here from out-of-print 12"s (Shaolin Satellite, The
Foudation etc.) plus tracks not found anywhere else. Sometimes
there's a hint of drum-n-bass, sometimes dubby, a bit of lounge,
always unexpected. This blissful taste of slippery beats
and magical sound tend to engulf the listener. The u.k. release
has a few tracks not found on the u.s. domestic issue below (but leaves
off a few as well...naturally).
THEIVERY CORPORATION - Sounds from the theivery hi-fi CD
(Eighteenth street lounge ESL 5 CD) $12.50
Domestic u.s. issue.
Same as above but w/o the u.k. extras. Does contain the excellent
track "manha" that the u.k. lacks.
June 29th sees the release of :
MOJAVE 3 - Who do you love? cds (4AD BAD 8011 CD) $9.25
TAKING PRE-ORDERS NOW. Long awaited single from the upcoming
Mojave 3 album set for an August release.

Subject: while we're reminiscing
the slowdive moment i cant seem to get out of right now, and thats fine
with me, is every time i put on my live boot tape with Morningrise on
it. it has that sort of effect on me that douglas adams wrote about a
character's smile once, they would look at you and
"it seemed to be composed of all the worst things life could do to you,
but which when he briefly reassembled them in that particular order on
his face made you suddenly feel ' Oh. Well thats all right then.' "
even when im entangled in the thickest of traffic, that song makes me
feel like im gliding. whenever im out doing something, when i have to
get in my car and go home, its almost like i have to put that on to
punctuate the end of the night. after i had Bardo Pond blow my mind into
tiny pieces last thursday, that was the first thing i could bear to
listen to.

Subject: Another message about Searching for the Set
Cheers,
Hey people, I've posted this message about 2 or 3 times wondering and i'll so
it again. I'm looking for a link or links to The American Analog Set. If
anyone can help me out, please oh please email them to me. Also i was
wondering about if i can still get these 2 slowdive collections
Slowdive EP
Holding Our Breath EP
Outside Your Room EP
I need these to complete my set. As for my 2 pence on the difference of
Shoegaze and Dreampop...i think dreampop is more of an upbeat style to
Shoegaze (i.e. Blow and Pale Saints) as for shoegaze, its more spacious and
dreamy than poppy.
Thanks.
All those at Lull45 and solarSpace

Actually you missed another place where one might be able to find it.
Creation Records put out a compilation CD called "Sorted, Snorted And
Sported". It has a picture negative of a pig with a rather elaborate
border. Other songs on this CD are "Honeypower" by MBV, Higher Than The Sun
by the Scream Team as well as Swervedriver's "Laze It Up". Interestingly,
inside the sleeve it lists most of the records and singles on Creation's
label with the album "Loveless" by MBV being listed with a "TBA" (To Be
Announced). It was released circa 1991.

Speaking of magical slowdive experiences, country rain is a song that
will always have great significance to me as it is a great song to dance
to with the person you love. It was playing on my honeymoon quite a
bit... talking about making your head spin..

Subject: Rollerskate Skinny
Hey, I just got a brilliant CD the other day called "Horsedrawn wishes" by
Rollerskate Skinny. Has anyone else heard it?? If not, then it's essential
listening, IMO. Sounds rather like Moose's first three EP's (has the same
kind of boppy shoegazey sort of feel to it) mixed in with some 60's pop
sensibilites al-la Jefferson Aeroplane (for want of a better comparison) as
well as a bit of a folky sort of feel (a bit like Red House Painters). To
top it all off they add a lot of weird noises all over the place giving a
very textured, colourful and complete sonic soundscape rather like One Dove
mixed in with insane, nonsense lyrics of They Might Be Giants. In all,
great stuff. I think a lot of people on this list would get into them.
Despite the rather mixed bag of descriptions I gave, they sound more like
Moose than anything else. Highly recommended.
Everyone go and buy a copy now!!!

Subject: Re: Rollerskate Skinny/Colfax Abbey
I love Rollerskate Skinny! One of my favorite bands. I believe they were
started by MBV Kevin's little brother Jimi, who left after the first album
(called "Shoulder Voices") and went on to form Lotus Crown, who are a lot
like Rollerskate skinny. Lotus Crown's album "Chokin' on the Jokes" is
very similar to Horsedrawn Wishes, I think. Man, I love Horsedrawn Wishes!
One of my fave albums of all time.
Finally got Colfax Abbey's 'Drop' today. What a great album! I've been
looking for a band that sounded just like this for a long time...
Any word on the Slowie boxed set? Anyone get anything from Ryko? I
emailed but never got a response.

horsedrawn wishes is a great cd.. but if you ever come across their first cd,
shoulder voices, buy that, its twice as good, and even had jimi shields in the
band back then!! they also have two early ten inches, one from 91, and one
from 92, if anyone knows where i could pick these up, please let me know, im
willing to pay $ or trade... hmmmmm...
has anyone heard jimi's new band, lotus crown? i just ordered, but ive heard
its much like the early rollerskate skinny stuff.. yay!

Erm, yes, WHAT-EVER and 'shoegaze' also happens to be a really lame
creation of some reactionary British journalist that felt he had to slag
kids doing this, new, 'crazy', effects-heavy music .... all bollocks if ya
ask me! :-)
that's my two pence!

I recently got a hold of three secret shine albums...Man, that is

Untouched is an amazing album.. If you see their albums anywhere, by
