I agree!!!  This is the best single on EARTH!!!  Morningrise comes in a
very close second!

too bad the remix of Fear of Flying by third eye foundation is sooooo good..but
i would have to agree that the rest of Vertigo is almost shite.

having been found guilty of the crime of having an opinion, Sillabyss is
sentanced to endure lengthy, ranting, rebuttals.  (don't you know the only
musician any of us can suppose to second guess is Kevin Shields?  And that
furthermore, musicians almost always reveal their real motives for making
music?)

Subject: mojave 3. the second coming !

i don`t remember who it was but a while ago someone wrote that he/she 
was not impressed with the new material of mojave 3.
last week i recieved the who do you love single and the anakin 
compilation cd wich includes a demo version of to whom should i write, 
and i must say that i`m neither very impressed.
ask me tomorrow is a record that i don`t find words to describe it`s 
greatness, every song is a jackpot, but none of the new songs are close. 
I mean there good but not THAT good. Neil`s lyrics are as good as ever 
but the music i think has no longer got the depth and intensity that the 
old one`s have. I surely hope that the songs on the record will prove me 
wrong.

I would just like to make a public apology to everyone on this list that I
may have accidentally offended with my comments regarding Mojave 3. It was
never my intent to inspire such voracious comments and rebuttals. I do not
know them personally, nor do I make any claims that I can read minds, I can
only see what I see and believe what I believe. I apologise if my comments
were offensive in any way as I did not anticipate such harsh replies. 

Sincerely, Sillabyss....

I just heard the new mojave 3 single, (Some Kinda Angel) on the 4ad web page.
It was pretty cool, alot different, but not bad. Neils voice does sound quite
different, and I have to say I like his old vocal style better, but I guess he
enjoys singings like that. Either way I`ll still buy their music.

I am definitely going.
I read somewhere that this is the last time Locust are enhancing their
live show with projections/visuals.  I am very-very curious about Sing-Sing
as well,  should be an interesting night.

Is anybody else from the list going?

From: Christine 
Subject: The big Texas coincidence

I was checkin' out the 4AD news page... and something occurred to me...  

I've seen the artwork for the Some Kinda Angel single.  Without spoiling
the surprise too much... it is very favorable towards Texans.  All this
talk on the list about Texas and defending Texans, etc...  though it was all
unbeknownst to Mojave 3, they've gone and given Texas a "nod" (if you
will) on the cover of the next single.  Interesting coincidence.  

Also, it says in the news bit on M3 that all the tunes on the next single
were written by Neil Halstead... that just ain't true.  The music for the
b-side "Go Lady Go" was the result of a "jam" (if you will) while
rehearsing and the song credit should read Halstead/McCutcheon/Rowe, and I think
maybe Forrester.  (I'm a total trainspotter, sorry... but give credit
where credit is due, I always say).

Cheers,
CB

I wouldn't say it was the most perfect single from the 90s (I don't like to 
rank music ) but I agree that it an excellent record and almost certainly
RIDE's best EP. Each song is an absolute gem. I only recently rediscovered
my cassette of this EP and have been playing it a lot in the car - it's
great driving music ! It's been a recent discovery for me that early 90's
indie like LUSH and RIDE sound really great while at the wheel . Brings back
memories I guess !

I've done their official web-site at

http://www.ahoc.net/mahogany

I will be adding some real audio soon, but never the less it has
show dates at a complete discography.

Take care
