OK, so we blew that one off. Shoulda been there - weren't. Then there was Big Hat's traditional New Year's Eve show which Preston, Yvonne, Char, Jim and even Kim urged us to attend.

I'd have to say _A_Darker_Passion's_ stylistic range is just as wide as _Anima_Mundi's_. But let me convince you, Chandra, to be a little more receptive to Ingrid's 'harder edges'; if you like the dark intensity of KaTe's _The Dreaming_, I think there are things worth your attention on both of Ingrid's GreenLinnet albums. --charleydarbo ------------------------------ From: 32 flavors and then some Date: Tue, 16 Jan 1996 19:44:33 -0500 Subject: Re: Various thinkings "Matt Bittner" sez: >Am I the only one who things that _Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why >Can't We_ was a promising debut, only to be extremely upset (and >bored) by The Cranberries' latest? pseudo converse in my case. i didn't care for either the debut or the sophomore effort that much, though i kinda liked "zombie" the times i heard it.

Got: Sheila Chandra-The Struggle-, Tori-single-[the 1 with the 3 longer extras, $10 for 4 1/2 min extra of songs on the other,no], and for $2 a sampler -A Little On The Cd Side- w/ Joan osbourne-St. Theresa-, PJ Harvey-Down by the Water-, Jann Arden, Robin Lane and others. Just skimmed them b-4 work: The Struggle WOW!! I loved the skim, no waiting to live w/ it. Zen Kiss was a bit spare for me, this is lovely!!! I guess my objects need backgrounds! I like KaTe's a capella Handsome Cabin Boy, but rarely listen to it. I like -Monsoon feat. SC-, which is a re-issue of 3rd Eye, and I love The Struggle, what else will I like? Tori sounded like Tori: I love it. PJ Harvey sounded better than JO to me, and St Theresa was better than 1 of us, maybe due to overload on "the God song". Thanks Neille, for the S Chandra digest-exerpt! Out on my Own is no longer available: the guy at Blockbreaker Music. Re-issue of Quiet is due soon.

So far I've listened to it 1 & 1/2 times (it's playing now.) Initially I really didn't like it, because it wasn't what I expected. After having my preconceptions leveled though, it's starting to grow on me because it isn't what I expected. This could either end up with me really liking it, or it could be filed with the other 75% of my collection I don't listen to. It kinda reminds me of early Monks of Doom with a female singer for some reason. Progressive rock guitars with almost discordant vocals. The music seems given to frequent crescendoes.

They're a sort of heavy, sludgy, post-Joy Division, gloomy rock band. Or that's what I remember of the descriptions I've read.

Or > that's what I remember of the descriptions I've read. I actually own the God Lives Underwater EP (on cassette; one of those promo things American Recordings (their label) put out.. got it for 50 cents!). It's sort of NIN-style goth rock, with razor-like guitars, boopy-beepy synth and intentionally distorted vocals. Not bad if you're into that sort of thing. "Drag You Down" is a catchy little number.
