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 dis</pre> jalindbloom 2013-05-12T22:04:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1331 <pre>Lordy, two emails in as many weeks.

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. ------------------------------------ </pre> Fedge 2013-01-08T22:47:11 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1320 <pre>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPRRPc2H47I A little present from The Breeders, in case you missed it a couple of days ago.

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.

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!!! http://www.timestereo.com/RACCOONS/RACCOONS.html More H</pre> Fedge 2011-06-22T12:56:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1306 <pre> 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&lt; at &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.

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?

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, i</pre> lbigbilbo 2011-05-03T15:00:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1299 <pre>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; 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 jus</pre> lbigbilbo 2011-05-03T04:37:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.4ad/1298 <pre> 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.
