Taking some of the ecto recommendations to heart, I recently came across and purchased the Elysian Fields cd, "Bleed Your Cedar", which I am listening to now, for the 3rd time. Granted, it's too early to make any judgements, but so far I can -- on the basis of what I've heard --heartily recommend that anyone who likes this should track down a cd by a group called Sharkboy, "Matinee". It was released in 1994 to great reviews ("Sharkboy peddle pervasive ballads....Avy (Nico-esque lead singer)'s indie-noir, nightclub ambience draws from both The Velvet Underground and Edith Piaf" - Q magazine) and they were briefly tipped as the Next Big Thing, before Britpop came along and they were left at the side of the road. Apart from Avy's vocals, they use guitar, cello and trumpet to pretty strong, inventive effect. They only released one other cd after that, a couple of years later, but it sank with barely a ripple. Also highly recommended to Elysian Fields fans is anything by a group called Barefoot Contessa, who have a similar slow, languid style. I have one of their cd's from 1996, called "You Can't Go Home Again", and I'm not sure if they're still recording. I know they've done at least two others. Personally, I find Elysian Fields a bit too laid-back, detached and disengaged to excite or interest me, and at one point I found her vocals so lethargic I wasn't sure if she'd fallen asleep or I had. As an old Yes fan (well, until 1980) I'd be grateful if someone could point out the Yes influences that were mentioned on the Ecto music guide entry for Elysian Fields. I just don't hear it but, as I say, it's only my 3rd listen. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2000 08:28:15 EST From: MPressinfo@aol.com Subject: **RACHAEL SAGE PAGE - APRIL** * * * Happy Spring From MPress Records! * * * "Her own name suggests earthiness, color, and beauty, and all this she embodies...Sage has folk on the brain and piano keys for hands and is sure to put on a show sublime." - THE VILLAGE VOICE Greetings Ectophiles! It's that time again, time to clean out your closet, savor the sweet smell of those ever-present "American Beauty" petals, stock up on matzos and/or marshmallow bunnies, and generally get outside and off your winter-fatigued tuchas. The perfect time to go out and hear a friendly urban-folkstress sing spankin' new songs about peace, prosperity and the pitfalls of watching the Oscars on a stomach full of jellybeans... RACHAEL SAGE IN APRIL: • @ The Knitting Factory,- Thurs. April 13, time TBA ...Rachael will be performing w/ accordionist extraordinare Rob Curto as part of an raucous and cathartic evening of "Money Songs To Commemorate Tax Day", along w/ Sean Altman, Patti Rothberg, Ivy Markaity, Nancy Magarill & others... • @ The Acoustic Café - Fri. April 14, 9pm (Bridgeport, CT) ...w/ Rob Curto on accordion. Hope some of our CT friends can come out for this one, we hear this venue is awesome!

The first set was entirely sold-out, & the second was none-too-shabbily attended; we saw so many of you there, it was an amazing show of support, and Rachael had an absolute blast! The folks at the club were thrilled, and already said they'll be having Rachael back, we'll keep you posted... Well, that's pretty much it now, feel free to email us with inquiries, advice, poetry, or Rachael-candy flavor preferences (we're deciding between strawberry, butterscotch or peppermint for our next batch...cyberpicks, pleeeeze??)

It's a really beautiful song, musically and in sentiment, and was actually written for her sister's wedding.

Well, damn. If I'd known Emm Gryner was going to be playing at Fez tonight, I'd actually be there right now. Argh. (Mila Drumke's going to have to write more than one new song before I'll travel all the way into NYC to see her again, which is why I'm not at the Mercury Lounge right now, either.) In other Fez news, I see that Katell Keineg is going to be there on Wednesday, April 12, with Timothy Hill opening. Whoo-hoo!!!
