Yes! I just turned on the TV one night, and that guy at Alternative Nation
(MTV Europe) started to talk about Mojave 3 - so I kind of threw in a tape
in the video and managed to get the whole thing recorded! And I agree, it
is a beauty. Kind of like an old-time (Capone time) bar flick, I thought.
But, like Windblows (Joe) said, that was the _only_ time I've seen it on
MTV.
To get the list a bit more active, I would suggest a discussion about
the 4AD UK's behaviour regarding Mojave 3. I tried to order a copy of
AMT through my regular record store, and they said that 4AD UK hadn't
said a word about the band (so the normally very well informed guys at
the store didn't know they even existed). They tried to order a copy for
me, but finally I had to buy it when I was in the US.
Has anyone seen or heard anything about Mojave 3 from 4AD UK?
Posters? Ads? _Things_?

Nah. Can't say so...it's been really quiet... Was a review in NME (i think)
though - got 7 or something. No posters, no nothing. Bit of a shame
really, seeing the heavy promotion Lush gets.

I've always wondered how neil got some of the guitar sounds. I've come
up with some pretty cool ones myself, too.
Anyway, with all the texture on slowdive songs, there is probably no way
you (or anyone) can recreate the exact sound live.
I think the best thing to do would be to figure out the chord structures,
and slap on some of yer own effects. Experiment.
Also, it's wierd that rachel is connected. Slowdive is one of my all
time fave bands, and I never really thought that the band contained
people. Their image on their albums just doesn't put forward the idea of
members.
But now that the list is in direct contact w/ one of the ex members, if
seems more like a normal band, like a friend of a friend's band.
Am I making sense. It also gives me hope for my own music.

some of my setups are nice, but the wiring is a pain in my arse!

yes, i agree, i was more or less meaning to figure out the effects used
(chorus, delay...etc) and then the bass lines, then the root notes, then
the hard part...figure out what chords neil's playing...incidently when
the sun hits is the tilda means slide: D~E~D Gb~G A
then the hardest part of all...those arpeggios with heavy flange and
thick chorus and a wee bit of delay almost making a reverb...
daggers first chord is : X_______O_X
1 -- |_|_|_|_|_|
|_O_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_O_|_|
|_|_O_|_|_|
some odd B chord (the real name escapes me)
the second one i think is : _ _ _X_X_X
3 -- |_|_|_|_|_|
O_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|
|_O_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_O_|_|_|
these of course are what i hear...i could be quite wrong...maybe i'll
ask neil 8') Neil is one of the best guitarists around afterall

Well, I've got a really nice promotional poster for Ask Me Tomorrow.
It's not a very big one - it's got the CD-cover on it, and a few
things about formats etc., just the typical 4AD poster.

okay, and i was reading my mail today and i read a very disturbing message...
and i suppose my question is this : ( many apologies to anyone involved
who might not want further involvement )
is someone impersonanting someone else through email? the message i
read made no sense to me...it was in reply to my
'okay...' message which said nothing of the sort for
that i was quoted (well paraphrased actually)

B major 7th the b flat on the g string is gonna
produce some interesting tonal effects with the open b string. Damn,
guitar babble.

A flat 9th. It could be major or minor, because
there's no third.
You see what two years of music theory can do to you. Umm, the 4th in
the phrygian mode of teh key reflects nicely with the c sharp minor 7th
flat 9.:)

yes, i agree, ...
Have you heard Silvania?
They do those guitar sounds on their first phase and inclusive
give it sometimes fast movement to all that sound, it was simply
beautiful.The influences i see on their early phase -miel nube hiel
ep (1992) and en cielo de oceano lp (1993)- is slowdive/cocteau
/spacemen3. Really great!!
Now they're in ambient! -Paisaje III lp (1995)-. Remember 5ep?
Like that but with a lot of more beautiful ambiences, it's all so
worked it has lots of nice details, imagine they put on it some nice
guitar ala Durutti Column!! And the more incredible is that they can
give to ambient the same feelings of sadness, melancholy, beauty and
sweet pornography they gave to the shoegazing!
Oh, you really must hear all this!!!
Take care.

Mmmm, sounds nice - but I've never heard of them. I guess they're a
Peruvian band, so their work may never have been released in the UK.
Does anyone know if Silvania have ever had material released in Europe
or North America?

You're right they're a peruvian band, but they play and live in
Spain, and all their material has been released there and there are
still some of their cds available by catalogues -I guess Reading have
them still, actually you can get it by the net but i don't remember
the name of the store-. Anyway: the miel nube hiel EP is on
Experience Records and the rest is on Elefant Records, both spanish
labels.
I know they have already a new ep, Avalovara EP (1996). And I
know they participate in 2 ambient samplers with seefeel, locust,
etc. But unfortunately i've couldn't listen to any of these new
releases.
Does someone have more information?
Regards.
Wilder.

Subject: Silvania stockists
Hi again folks,
Well, rather than do any work I've been busy on Altavista looking for
hints on how to get Silvania's albums. The most interesting English
language references will follow this message. While I'm no expert on
exchange rates it looks like the albums would be no more expensive to
acquire for fellow UK readers (and presumably Scandanivians, if the
stereotype of everything being expensive over there is true) than if
they were in the local record shops.
I don't suppose anyone would know how Elefant accept payment? No sense
in sending cash if there's an easy alternative... (assuming I get round to
buying the things!)
All in all Elefant Records seem pretty cool - another Web page informed
me that they're planning an album of Field Mice covers.
Cheers,
Philip

Pre-fuzz period Small Fac. On Pop Narcotic. (US, $3.50)

$1.50 for postage. On Hoppel Di Hoy. (Germany, $4.50)

Sr. Chinarro s/t - CD
13 track debut album by this neat Spanish doom-pop band. A bit
less "indie" than their 7", and a bit more anglo, but it still
hits plenty of Seam/Bedhead points as well as Slowdive, etc.
Includes a New Order cover. On Acuarela. (Spain, $15.00)
Stereolab/Cat's Miaow split 7" flexi

Another fine discovery by Little Teddy. (Germany, $4.00)
Throat "Ten Miles of Bad Road"
3 song EP that we really like but can't think of much to say
about it other than it's on Acuarela and that's good enough for
us. (Spain, $4.50)
Through Comers Never Stop - 7" flexi
2 tracks of cool noisy pop with drum machine a la the early
Pooh Sticks/Mary Chain. On Orgasm. (France, $2.00)
Time Lodgers Sometimes Never Slanted

boys. Completely great! On Velodrome. (US, $3.50)

melodic songs with crazy twists and male/female vocals. On
Morpheme/Jinx. (US, $3.50)
Usura "Hake Romana" - LP/CD
This Spanish band turns in their debut album, less like
Velocity Girl than their first 7" and much more in the Breeders
mode (Veruca Salt, anyone?). Good production, crunchy guitars
and big hooks make this a treat for fans of the above bands. CD
has one bonus track. On Elefant. (Spain, LP is $9.00, CD is
$12.00)
Usura "Maze"
One track from their "Hake Romana" LP and a non-LP track on the
flip. On Elefant. (Spain, $4.50)
Venus Peter "Bobby EP"
2 songs of cool Japanese power-pop influenced by
Raspberries/Beatles/Big Star, etc. Sound formula? Good songs
pull it off. Elefant. (Spain, $4.00)
Waking Hours "Nothing To Hide"
4 track swan-song EP. On Elefant. (Spain, $4.00)
Wedding Present Tommy - CD
Now available in North America, this compilation of 12 early

(Canada, $14.00)
White Town "Socialism, Sexism & Sexuality" - CD
CD only debut album by Jyoti after many, many singles.
Distinctive perfect pop with introspective lyrics. 20 songs
that plumb the depths of heartbreak and social decay. With
lengthy booklet. On Parasol. (US, $10.00)
Wimp Factor 14 "Infotainted"
2 old songs return for your listening pleasure. Charming low-fi
pop on Harriet/Global. (US, $3.50)
Yogur Le Jazz
Bizarre experiments in twisted jazzy rock. Sounds extra fucked
at 33 rpm. Recommended for those late, late nights. On
Acuarela. (Spain, $4.50)
Yogur "Kinder"
Bizarre 3 song EP by Spanish band that goes from whisper quiet
to Thinking Fellers weird and back. Is Acuarela the new Too
Pure? (Spain, $4.50)
Yukio Yung "Art Pop Stupidity" - LP
Amazing full-length effort by this ex-Chrysanthemum. 14
brilliant songs that recall Village Green-era Kinks and
mid-period Beatles, as well as The Bachelor Pad. Loopy as hell,
and the better for it. Only from Little Teddy. (Germany, $9.00)
Yukio Yung "Jeff Lynne EP"
Bizarre concept, but it actually works: 5 Jeff Lynne/ELO
covers. What could be sickening turns out to be nice fuzzed-out
power-pop. At least it's a less obvious tribute than the
current/upcoming Felt, Young Marble Giants, Love, Fall, etc.
smugfests that we're being barraged with. On Little Teddy, a
brave label indeed. (Germany, $4.00)

Postage
Yes, the additional costs for postage and packing vary from country to
country. All packets are by registered mail and air mail. See the
table below and check how much you need to add.
EuropeAmerica/AfricaWorld 1st 7"+ 220 pts+ 380 pts+ 510 pts For each
7" more+ 35 pts+ 190 pts+ 295 pts 1st LP+ 270 pts+ 810 pts+ 1085 pts
For each LP more+ 80 pts+ 530 pts+ 910 pts 1st CD+ 220 pts+ 460 pts+
606 pts For each CD more + 40 pts+ 200 pts+ 365 pts
So, if you are from the USA and you want to order two LP's, two CD's
and one single; you must add:
810 + 530 + 220 + 40 + 380 = 1980 pts
Of course, it's a bit more expensive if you order different formats
(mixing CD's with singles, or LP's with CD's), but it's the only way
for sending through air and registered mail. Anyway, if you mix
formats and you write on your letter that you've seen Twee and Proud!!
on the web, I'm sure that Elefant will give you a 7" or similar as a
present.
