Their next album, _Blame_It_on_My_Youth_, went gold in Japan as an _import_, so it, along with _GT_, was released there. _BIoMY_ was released in the U.S., but didn't do so hot, and _GT_ was still not released here. The trio's third album was _Don't_Smoke_in_Bed_, which was of course released all over, but Alert (their Canadian record- and management company) decided not to release _GT_ here--despite _DSiB_'s modest success--because they thought the two albums would compete with each other for sales. For the trio's fourth album, _Temptation_, a Tom Waits songbook, Alert made the decision to release it here and in Canada as a Holly Cole album, even though it was released in Japan as the fourth album by The Holly Cole Trio. The fifth "album" (few songs; mostly it's multimedia stuff), _It_Happened_One_Night_, was released everywhere (as far as I know) as a Holly Cole album. Along the way, there has been a Canadian/Japanese Christmas album, recorded live with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (or some such animal); a Japanese-only compilation (including 5 new tracks exclusive to this release) called _Yesterday_and_Today_; a Christmas EP called "Christmas Blues"; and of course, the live recording of the Christmas concert she did along with Jane Siberry, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Rebecca Jenkins, and Victoria Williams, called _Count_Your_Blessings_. _Girl_Talk_ is respectable, sophisticated jazz. _BIoMY_ is campy, showtuny, nearly loungey jazz. _DSiB_ is dense, lush, jazz-influenced pop, postmodern-hip to its very core. _Temptation_ is sophisticated, jazzy pop, serious and sexy, heavy-lidded and langorous, as textured and layered as it is possible for a pop album to be. My intuition tells me that the next album, which is, I believe, in post-production now, will be a misguided attempt to snare the pop audience they didn't quite capture with _Temptation_. I could be wrong, but that seems to be the direction in which Alert is guiding Holly. Besides, I don't think they'll do a follow-up to _Temptation_: k.d.lang's beat them to it. - --charley ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 07:26:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Jet Girl Subject: Yeah! & Sinead Great to have ecto back! Yeah! Just wanted to make a quick comment about the Sinead O'Conner Concert I saw a couple weeks ago. Sinead was in rare form. I saw her a few years ago, and she royally sucked. I was really blown away by her in this concert. Lots of slow ballads mixed with some high intensity older stuff. It was great. Anyone else get to see her on tour?

Hello ectophiles, Glad to see the back up and running again even if I don't have much time to contribute regularly for the moment. Just to address one of the current topics, I prefer Aimee Mann's solo work over her 'til tuesday one, it has more "depth" IMO. I will be in Bonn (Germany) for a conference next week and would be happy to meet any ectophiles there. Since I don't talk a word of german, it will be probably a very interesting trip. :-) If you have any good CD shops or bars to recommend or even concerts to attend in this city, please contact me.

Anybody got an ace in the hole they could lend me? ;) There is a Cindy Lee Berryhill/Joy Eden Harrison concert scheduled to take place in St. Louis this coming Sunday (9/14). Unfortunately the "living room" I was counting on got reserved out from under me. All concerned are aware of the situation and I've got a few eyes, ears, and mouths helping locate an appropriate venue, but the exact location and time are yet to be determined. Anyone interested in attending (admittedly short notice), please drop me (not the list...) a line - rjk1@cs.wustl.edu (rjk"one", not rjk"el"). Full details will be posted once finalized, but in the unlikely event smoe does not take well to various parts of it's lifeline being moved (Murphy is _not_ my friend...), this could conceivably be the only public notification. In any event, those e-mailing me expressing interest will be notified off-list as well. Anyone holding that ace I mentioned (a living room in St. Louis that could accomodate a dozen or two people this coming Sunday), I'd like to talk. 8) Don't mind that noise, that's just my new ulcer. ;) bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 10:39:46 +1000 From: Andrew Fries Subject: Re: Anorexia/gymnist movie song? ariana@kbp.com wrote: > Also has anyone heard of Hooverphonics?

I heard Hooverphonics at a listening station once and I thought it was interesting but not quite interesting enough (for my taste) to actually p= art with the cash. The comparison to Portishead seems well placed, it's just = that one Portishead is enough for me.
