    <title>new archival release featuring Kurt Ralske</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1335</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Kurt Ralske's pre-Ultra Vivid Scene band ~ now available on Roaratorio:

DISSIPATED FACE WITH DANIEL CARTER
LIVE AT CBGB 1986
roar 30 7" EP

"Not since the early days of MC5 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit,
circa 1968, had there been such an organic melding of sheer metalesque
maelstrom and free jazz. These archival recordings from the legendary
punk club CBGB capture a moment in time when open-minded musicians
from the 'downtown scene' were exploring the possibility of bringing
Lou Reed's feedback-infested Metal Machine Music together with Albert
Ayler's Love Cry. Dissipated Face guitarist Kurt "Hologram" Ralske and
special guest saxophonist Daniel Carter provided that implausible link
between punk rock and avant garde jazz on these 1986 live recordings.
Fueled by the throbbing rhythms of Steve "X Dream" Popkin and Ben
"Face" Munves, who alternated on bass and drums, Ralske's twisted,
thrashing power chords and shrieking licks blend with Carter's
cathartic alto sax wailing to make the perfect union of disparate
worlds.

Ralske would go on to attain a certain level of indie rock fame with
Ultra Vivid Scene and subsequently make an impact as a London-based
producer-conceptualist-avant-popmeister and visual artist. Carter
would become one of the most ubiquitous figures on New York's free
jazz scene, recording with William Parker, David S. Ware, Billy Bang,
Alan Silva and Matthew Shipp and the cooperative bands Test and Other
Dimensions in Music. But for this one moment back in 1986, their paths
crossed with bandmates Popkin and Munves, and the results were
frighteningly intense."  Bill Milkowski. Cover artwork by Raymond
Pettibon.

appearing on YouTube.

4AD has a few lined up, and there's also the Beggars Archive channel (which
of course doesn't have any 4AD on it but covers most of the other Beggars

there eventually. One that isn't (yet) is Throwing Muses 'Fish'...

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I was digging through stuff in the basement today, and I found a small
mound of clippings from British music papers from the early 90s.  I had
forgotten that I had these clippings, but now I've scanned them and put

    <title>Pixies : Gigantic</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1321</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I was listening to Complete B Sides today when it struck me that, while it IS a b-side compilation, it also served to "orphan" the "A side" title track Gigantic. The version of Gigantic on Surfer Rosa was produced by Steve Albini and has been remastered a few times - once as GAD803CD, again on the MOFI CD and again on the Minotaur box set. BUT - the BAD805CD version of Gigantic (produced by Gil Norton) exists only on that CD single and remains unremastered. Not a big deal, but I felt like pointing it out.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;COLOURBOX  BOX SET

Release dates : 21 May 2012 (Europe) / 22 May 2012 (USA)

Today, in the wake of of the whole techno, trip-hop and electronica revolution, it's almost standard for bands to comprise a pair of faceless technocrats, making the sort of sounds whose breadth and colour exceeds the imagination of most traditional guitar bands. Back in the early Eighties, however, such outfits were thin on the ground.

Colourbox emerged from the diverse mix of musical cultures that formed the post-punk era, inevitably incorporating synthpop, indie, reggae, dub, soul and funk. They were dance pioneers in the pre-sampling era, where effects were painstakingly created in the studio, and from 1982 to 1986 they created an eclectic body of work incorporating their influences but imploded after the collaboration as M/A/R/R/S, on Pump Up The Volume, went to No.1  making them the only number one-hit wonders that never bothered to release a follow-up recording.

To celebrate their 30th anniversary it only seems right that 4AD finally release the ultimate Colourbox compilation. Entitled simply Colourbox (and why not?  the other albums are!) it is a 4 CD box set of all their released studio recordings and mixes which has been sequenced by Martyn Young.

CD1 is the 1985 album, Colourbox, and includes all the tracks from the free album that was included with the original 10,000 LPs. The second disc is the 7" singles and the third is the 12" mixes. The final disc has the 4 track mini-album, Colourbox, an unreleased early mix of Arena and eight tracks recorded in session for the BBC.

    <title>GRIMES SIGNS TO 4AD!!!</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1308</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Canadian up-and-comer Grimes has been earning a lot of attention in the indie music world as of late, and her forthcoming Visions looks to be one of the most hyped-up releases of early 2012. Well, the whole thing just got even more exciting now that the songwriter also known as Claire Boucher has signed with 4AD.

The album was originally slated to arrive on January 31 via Arbutus Records, but the date has now been pushed back to February 21 in North America and March 12 around the world. Gorilla vs. Bear notes that it will still be coming out in Canada via Arbutus. Everywhere else, however, it will be via 4AD.

As you may already know, 4AD is an iconic British indie label whose roster includes artists like Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, St. Vincent, Bon Iver, Deerhunter and more.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;THE RACCOONS is finally available in a special package limited to 50 copies!!!

All of the info is HERE!!!
http://www.timestereo.com/RACCOONS/RACCOONS.html

THE RACCOONS tells the story of three babies abandoned by their mother. Alone, frightened, and hungry in a dark chimney for days only to be rescued at the last possible minute by two humans with an interest in field recording, sound art and inter-species collaboration. This 77 minute disk features the sound of that cold and dark stone fireplace, the hungry raccoons slowly resuscitated, the artificial heart beats that reminded them of their lost mother, and their joyful response as they gradually return to life and begin singing again. This limited edition disc (only 50 made) comes with a cd in a beautiful paper sleeve and what is possibly the cutest album cover ever, a six inch hand-made sturdy wooden raccoon that comes ready to hang on your nearest wall and is also completely child friend
 ly!!!

    <title>Help in finding UK Gig venues for Modern English</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1306</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;
Hello,
If you've had a look at the Modern English website (www.modernenglish.me) you will have seen the band have 4 gigs set up for next month in Colchester, Tunbridge Wells, Wimbledon and Paris. They would like to add more dates and venues. If you can suggest any venues in the UK or Europe or forward this email onto anyone you know in the UK /Europe who are interested in 4AD/indie/80's bands please email me at forum&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;modernenglish.me They are aware they are not as well know in the UK and Europe than the US so a venue size of about 200 would be best (no stadiums and no pubs please). 
Thanks,
Richard
Apologies to those of you in the US but plans are already being made for a US tour in September.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi guys,
Very interesting you guys talking about radio stations and mentioning Modern English. I current manage the bands fan forum and help with their website (www.modernenglish.me). I'm sure you are all aware the original line up (minus the drummer) reformed last year. One thing I am trying to do is collect together any concert recordings. I know one of the Boston radio stations (WXRF or whatever can never remember which letters) broadcast a gig in 1990 (one track ended up as a B side) but despite trying to contact the station and even the engineer who recorded it no-one knows where the tapes are. Do any of you have any Modern English concert recordings?
Richard

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Thank you Geo,

Thanks for the welcome wagon, but to answer your questions, I did not listen to Oedipus because he was on BCN and everyone else on that station sucked. I used to listen to BCN when it first started in 1968 but the station went straight downhill around the mid 70's they just replayed and rehashed the same old songs and the same old groups for the next 15 or so years. For a long time I couldn't find anything on the local radio scene until one day somewhere in the early 80's I was just going through the dial of my radio at work in Cambridge trying to find anything worth listening to when I came across a station called WMBR formally WTBS (MIT radio) what caught my attention was the lyrics to the song that was being played. I don't know who the singer was but it appeared to be a girl group and 
 the lyric that caught my attention went something like this "You said you truly loved me but all you really wanted to do was to feel me up". My head did a double-take and I started to listen to the show, it was called "The Late Risers Club". BTW they just had their 25th anniversary recently. The trouble was the show was only on from around 8 or 9 AM till about noon. This was where I first heard Bauhaus. I few months later I was sitting on the sea-wall in Winthrop where I was living at the time and i picked up a station called WLYN broadcasting from Lynn and they were playing music similar to what I had been listening to on MIT's station it was early "New Wave" and "Post Punk". I remember the most popular song at the time was "Rock The Casbah" by "The Clash". About 6 months or so latter t
 hey announce one night that they would be off the air for a while due to some upcoming changes. Two weeks latter they resumed broadcasting calling the station WFNX, they had been purchased by "The Phoenix". There slogan in the early days was "Rock The Boat Radio". I soon found that some of the DJ's were ex WMBR jocks. It was during this time that I discovered many of the groups that would be my favorites for a long time. Number one was "The Cure" followed closely by "Depeche Mode", "XTC", "New Order", "The Psychedelic Furs" etc. Alas even "FNX" began to go down hill with the emergence of "Grunge". I really hated "Nirvana" and especially "Pearl Jam". That music made my teeth itch. Today I only listen to MIT and BC's radio stations WMBR and WZBC respectively.

The reason i never caught any of those groups you mentioned playing live in the Boston area were really threefold. First I couldn't afford them, second I was working what seemed like 22 hours a day,(I had two jobs at the time, 40 Hrs a week on my regular job and about 48 Hrs a week driving a cab)and the last reason was i just felt out of place in those venue's being that most of the people who went to those shows were between the ages of 18 and 25 and I was in my 40"s at the time. I recall calling one of the DJ's on "FNX" to request a song once and they would always ask where you lived and how old you were. I guess they were trying to figure out their demographic. When I told the DJ I was 40 or so he wouldn't believe me.

Anyway this is another too long, boring old man prattle. Now that I am retired and in my 60's I seem to do a lot of that. Not to worry they will soon be throwing dirt over me or my kids will put me away some where so I can't hurt myself or others. LOL.

Regards,
Bill,

    <title>a "new 4AD"</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1299</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi everyone. Just a little about myself and what I am looking for here.
first about myself, I live in Boston Mass, USA but don't tell that to anyone or I'll deny it. The first 4AD group I really liked was "Bauhaus" and one of their side projects "Tones On Tail" though I never liked "Love and Rockets". I first heard "Cocteau Twins" somewhere around 84-85 (we colonists are a little slow on the uptake) but they didn't get a lot of play in this hillbilly country. The First song I remember by them was "Pearly Dewdrops' Drops" and I think there were a couple of others between 85 &amp;amp; 90. But at that point in my life I did not buy recorded music mainly because I couldn't afford it. At that time I also discovered another group I liked, "Dead Can Dance".  When I bought my first computer around 1998-2000 my kids turned me on to P2P sites. While I was looking for songs to d
 ownload I remembered having liked "Cocteau Twins and "Dead Can Dance" back in the 80's but i couldn't remember the titles of the songs liked so I just started downloading everything I could find by "C T" &amp;amp; "D C D". I was pleasantly surprised that each and every song I downloaded by these two groups became my new favorite song, till the next one came along. I was kicking myself for not having looked into these two groups earlier. then I found out about 4AD and Ivo Watts-Russel and his pet project "This Mortal Coil". I was very despondent to find out that he sold the Label and retired. All I could think was that the world needed a new Ivo someone with his insights and his commitment to presenting good music to the world. Just recently, I think I may have stumbled across a new Label that ha
 s got me really stoked it is Projekt Records. they have or have had some really good groups such as "Autumn's Grey Solice" and Love Spirals Downward" and a few more i can't remember off the top of my head. (It kinda sucks being old and retired now I barely remember what I had for breakfast. I tell all my friends and family that if it wasn't for acid flash backs i wouldn't have any memory at all. 

Well that was longer than i planned and I probably bored half of you to death and the other half are saying "We need stricter standards on who we let in here". If any one does have any questions for me or any suggestions, like "Drop dead old man" please let me know.

Thanks Bill,

    <title>[ironflame] ROBERT X. PATRIOT / EZH - Split-7" OUT NOW! =&gt; LISTEN!</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1298</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;


After the ultra-limited luxurious hand-made collectors edition of the GERECHTIGKEITS LIGA EP  'Vom Nachteil geboren zu sein, IRONFLAME is now proud to present the second volume in their RE-DOKUMENT SERIES:



===   ROBERT X. PATRIOT / EZH
===   (DELUXE COLLECTORS EDITION PACK:
         7"Single in gold, silver or green vinyl, hand-numbered &amp;amp; strictly limited to 111 copies each.
         special 6mm-spine colour cardboard jacket with metallic printer's colors
         incl. Poster, 2 postcards, 2 buttons, 3 stickers &amp;amp; Insert)
         comes in crystal clear original japanese protective vinyl sleeve with re-sealable flap
===   IRONFLAME [IF//RE002/S]


[A]   ROBERT X. PATRIOT: a collaborator of The Electric Hellfire Club, Boyd Rice and Warcom, ROBERT X. PATRIOT made quite a name for himself in the mid nineties by appearing on such cult samplers as 'How Terrorists Kill', 'Men and Mice' and 'Psychick Wolves ov Midgard'. Not to mention his own infamous and much sought-after 'Dogs Leg Rising' album, a rather tongue-in-cheek tribute to the World-Serpent-Family, as such titles as 'Freya Aswynn's Basement', 'Hitler in Khakis', 'Ou est Klaus Nomi', or 'Vichy Toast Sunrise' clearly suggest.
  But the best kept secret about ROBERT X. PATRIOT probably is his long-burning passion for the synth pop of the early 80s: think Ultravox, Duran Duran and all the heroes of the Electronic New Wave movement. A genre he will be associated with forever after the release of this single Then not only is 'Gold, Silver, Green' clearly destined to become an all-time hit, it is also and without exaggeration or self-indulgence a true HYMN which will soon find its place on every playlist of every party, every webradio and every podcast of the ever-growing Minimal-Synth- / Electronic-New-Wave scene!

LISTEN to 'Gold Silver Green': http://sn.im/25h4xh


[A]   EZH: known in the Hamburger underground of the late eighties as the editor of bad taste / nonPC / music fanzine I.d.A.f., EZH has been active since the early nineties as a DJ for Electro, New Wave and Post-Industrial and made quite a stir in 2000 with his 9:30mins long technoid monster 'Slumber' (only available as a DJ-Promo at the time). Ironflame now releases a brand new single-edit of this track, remixed by none other than Berlin Italo-/Electro-/NewWave-eminence DJ Hanoben (cultheroes.com).
And by the way: the careful liner-notes reader will be surprised to discover which celebrity deserves credit for the lyrics and vocals of this dark techno/industrial hybrid  :)

Remixes have been commissioned of two This Loves Last Time songs from Bell Horses and the results are now ready to share with fans. Northsea, the alias of Stefano Guzzetti, has contributed a beat-friendly reinterpretation of album-opener Still Life while Inch-Time (aka Stefan Panczak) has delivered a dreamscaped version of Small Hours. You can download and enjoy these remixes free of charge as a gift from Bell Horses for a limited time. The original versions of these songs can be heard on the This Loves Last Time album, available on CD, MP3 and FLAC.

In addition to the above remix goodness, the man behind Bell Horses and Sybarite, Christian Hawkins, has put together the first in a series of regular mix compilations. The first, the Autumn Mix, features an hour of tunes assembled by Hawkins, including music from CFCF, Seefeel, Mount Kimbie and Brian Eno among many others. You can stream or download the entire mix now.

Hawkins has, under the the Sybarite moniker, launched the official BandCamp page for all things Sybarite related. Already the new site features some must-hear samplings, including Sybarite remixes of songs by Inch-Time, The Antlers (as previously mentioned on this site) and Fat Cat recording artist Silje Nes.
