[C&V - are you going?] ======================================================================== Subject: Bel Canto From: claudia@inphobos.w.open.de (Claudia Spix) Date: Sun, 24 Jan 93 16:54:11 GMT Ok,Ok yesyesyes you can STOP hitting and pushing me, I said I'd do it and I'll do it! Of course I really have a zillion other things to do, like working, eating, sleeping, living etc. (in that order) but now that Klaus has begun to remind me about 3 times an hour I guess I just have to take a break and do it. What? Oh, my BEL CANTO Concert Report of course. Actually I've been really wanting to, but there always seemed to be sth else. BTW, I've made a point of not reading Kjetil's report, so you get to really independent reports. It was a wonderful concert! (Will that do? No, I guess not... :) It was on the 28'th of September in the Zeche in Bochum. Klaus couldn't go, cause he had broken his foot shortly before. Standing and walking on one leg and two crutches and dangling between them a one ton cast is a rather wobbly affair, so he was worried about being pushed about in the crowd and having to stand all this time. Too bad, there wasn't much of a crowd and there would have been a few places to sit down. But as it was I invited a colleague along. She had never heard of Bel Canto but trusts my taste ;). The concert was scheduled for 20:00, we didn't quite know the parking situation etc, so we were early, around 19:15. A word about the venue. It's called Zeche, which means mine or colliery, and it's just that. One of the large buildings they needed to run it before it closed down. It's been used for concerts and discos for more that 10 years now with a very large bandwidth of styles. A millenium ago we saw Camel there. There are lots of places like this in this part of Germany. Buildings of closed down industry, turned into concert venues, often changing little about the interior and never the name. Tor 3, where we saw the Sugarcubes, means just that, Gate 3 (of a large industrial complex). The advantages are obvious, like existing large power lines, an area where nobody lives and thus nobody complains about the noise, and, as we saw when we came back from the cashier where we'd exchanged our vouchers for tickets, a large gate on tracks in the side of the building. A rented van with scandinavian writing on it just backed slowly in. Oh uh! There had been about 10 cars in the parkig lot when we came, and max. half a dozen people hung about the door. We decided to give the bar by the entrance a try for a while, a few more people there. When we were sufficiently bored we went back outside. It was a real nice warm night. Maybe 30 people were now standing round in lose groups. The concert had been labeled "New Age pop from medieval times" in the Sounds magazine, and though I don't see it that way, there were a few New Agey looking people among them. It was ca. 21:15 when they finally let us in. More people showed up, from the bar or wherever, so finally it was maybe 100-150. I'm bad at guessing, but I think you can fit some 500+ in that place, so it wasn't exactly crowded ... Bad for BEL CANTO, good for me;). I stood very close to the stage, a bit to the left with lots of room around me. Someone from the road crew showed up and apologized for the delay (behind him others were still feverishly taping wires to the floor etc.), they had got stuck in a traffic jam around Berlin for several hours. Berlin is hopeless these days. The stage was set up rather sparsely. Left lots of electronis with a PC set in the middle, left back a small keyboard, in the middle center a single, bright green microphone stand and some percussion on the right. Plus as decoration something shimmering fan shaped in the back and two white columns with spheres on top, which later turned out to be just wire with little lights inside and white cloth draped over it, so whether they used the lights from inside or lights of different colours directed at it they could be made to look VERY different. The effect/expenditure ratio was real enormous, I love things like that! The lights went off, the background music faded out and Nils Johansen came alone on stage with an electric violin (just a white stick with four strings, pickups below them and an ordinary bow) and played solo something very eerie sounding. Great. He looks just like on the photo on Shimmering Warm and Bright, long face with those glasses, serious and sensitive. Then he handed the violin back to somebody and got a guitar in exchange, music branded up "White Out Conditions", he began playing, on the right a tall blonde guy in a muscle shirt showed up and started percussioning and suddenly there she was in the center at the mike and began singing. Oh whow! I mean, her voice is a revelation on CD, but live you can drown in it. Technically great sound mix too. After the first song Anneli apologized again for being late, but by then I'm sure evrybody had forgiven them. About the songs: As mentioned, they opened with White Out Conditions, then played a well blended mix from Shimmering Warm and Bright, White Out Conditions and some I didn't recognise. At least one of the songs she explicitly announced as being a new one from them and another as being a newly acquired traditional, something spanish which required unbelievable sound acrobatics and she was sweating and out of breath after it. Plain wonderful! They played well over 1.5 hrs, and of course we demanded an encore. The noise level was deafening, sounded more like 1500 people. They came back and did 3 encores and the second was finally my favourite, which I had been waiting for all the concert: Spiderdust (hotchpotch for haunted lusts! Spiderdust, spiderdust ... sorry, got carried away ;). The final song was Mornixuur, a very quiet song intended to send people peacefully home. It worked. About Nils Johansen and the technical setup: These two obviuosly cannot be separated. As already mentioned, there was just Niels, Anneli and Andreas Eriksen on percussion on stage, but we heard a lot more music. They had all this stuff computerized. From where I stood I could see the screen of the PC. Between the songs it showed a menu where the highlighted bar moved one forward and to start it N. just hit a key (space bar, I think). Sometimes he overrode the default, esp. during the encore. During the songs it showed a kind of vertical patterned bars with a cursor moving slowly down the first block of those bars, then the second which mostly ended somewhere in the middle of the screen. It must have indicated where they were in the song. During the encore I think I saw him repeating or exchanging something. What we heard was thus partly prefab, but it was definitely not exactly the stuff from the album, but a different version meant for the live show. Once during the whole concert N. used the keyboard. All the other melodious stuff he played, and he played a lot, he did with guitars. And once or twice that violin again. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. He had three or four different guitars, electric and acoustic, backstage and somebody handed them to him and took the last one back between songs, sometimes within a song. He used these little plastic picking devices, had a holder with several stuck to each guitar and dropped the one he was using when he changed guitar. In the end the whole floor must have been full of them. What the guitars actually sounded like was determined by electronics, sometimes you would have sworn it was a flute, or anything but a guitar. About Anneli Drekker: It seemed to me Nils is the brain of the Group, and Anneli definitely the heart and soul. She's short, well rounded, NOT overweight, maybe bouncy is the word? and so full of life and energy! She was wearing a very short thin dress, more like a long blouse, a shift, with long arms, looked like hand made batik stuff, orange with blurry grey dots, black tights and stout brown shoes. Definitely not a New Age Outfit. Short blonde hair. She doesn't look much like her picture on SWaB, the perspective makes her face look longer than it is, extend that serious expression to a wide smile and it's more like it. Most of the time she used the fixed mike and both arms for expression and jumped and wheeled around behind and besides it between her lines, only later she took it down once or twice. She obviously disliked the cable and probably holding that thing at all. She also talked to the audience between songs sometimes. Said she was born not too far from Bochum, in Bielefeld where her Dad lives (that explains the German last name) but that was a long time ago and her few attempts to speak German were ... well ... attempts. BTW, somebody must have explained the correct pronounciation of "Treibhaus" to her, which she got embarassingly wrong on the CD. Once she asked were there any Norwegians present and seemed a bit disappointed at the silence. She also once tried french on us, with little success. Her english is very good. Her voice is of course beyond description. I strongly recommend to listen for yourself! Andreas Eriksen: The guy who does the percussion. Did just that. Acoustic percussion except for one song where he used the keyboard and it sounded like electronic drums. Did a very good job. Phew. I had no idea it would become so long! But one thing I'm sure: It wouldn't have been much different had I written it right afterwards. It stayed very fresh in my mind. It was just a wonderful concert. The only bad things about it were that Klaus couldn't come along and the public transport odyssee afterwards to get home. But that's a different story. Ok, now I'll go post this and then read Kjetil's report. I'm extremely curious about it. Love to all, Claudia -------------------------------------------------------------------- We need bigger days!

It follows the original story very faithfully (except for the end) and the atmosphere and music is terrific. Even though I normally mentally criticise films with glaring logical and technical flaws, in Dracula it didn't matter.. they just added to the picture as a whole. (eg Did anyone notice Dracula's bride's eyes fluttering when she was supposed to be dead? :) Normally that would just be seen as poor editing, but in this film it was *spooky*) Recommended film, anyway. And this is from someone who has a self-imposed ban on violent Hollywood movies. Oh, yeah... who sings the song they play over the end credits? Surely *that's* not Diamanda Galas, is it?

Please don't go away. Please don't unsubscribe because of this. These posts are a one-time only thing. I'm sorry for the bandwidth taken, I'm sorry for the possible busted mailboxes, I'm sorry for the squinting and confusion some of these posts may cause. I'm especially sorry if I make anyone uncomfortable, and I'm *really* especially sorry if anyone leaves Ecto because of my selfishness at posting all of this, and at one time. If I had gotten one, just one, e-mail from anyone saying no, don't post any more, I wouldn't have. I didn't, which makes me love Ectophiles all the more.

"I have not the nerve to show anyone how I am For I'd be misunderstood" "Desire is mine, courage is not" "At last I know what's in my soul and in my bones The things that cannot be denied" "Why couldn't someone be wise to my fears?" "Well I always feel like dying And it makes me cry, 'cause I'll be gone forever more Don't want to say goodbye Now they're telling me I've got to carry on And I mustn't tarry on They're trying to say I cannot cry every day Well I'm sorry It isn't working that way" "So run within baby, fly with my brain Enter the realm of mental strain.

'woj' mentions a k.d. lang song by the mistaken moniker of "country craving". May I be the first to say that's cute, but not correct. The title is "Constant Craving". ======================================================================== Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 10:00 EST From: Sam Warren Subject: Dracula song Martin Dougiamas asks "who sings the song they play over the end credits" in the film "Francis Ford Coppolla's Bram Stoker's Dracula". "Surely that's not Diamanda Galas, is it?" No, it's Annie Lennox, who, in her video for the song, looks even more pale than usual. In character? ;) It is available as a single, but I'm afraid I've forgotten the title. (maybe "Love Theme For a Vampire"?) ======================================================================== From: depeche@cs.mcgill.ca (S. A.

I have another version of Wireless which is different from your's. It has a different version of "Radio Silence" which I don't like as much, and it DOES NOT have Wreck of the Fairchild, SBMWS, or OOOS but it has Leipzig and Urges on it. I think Lazlo Nibble has catalogued about 10 different versions of the Wireless Album sited around the world. Fortunatley, I have Fairchild on the B-side of an old Airwaves 45, so I'm happy :-). | ======================================================================== | | Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 14:26:00 +0000 | From: "Mary (M.L.)

(hey is it a collector's item???). And YES, I totally agree | that The Flat Earth was EXCELLENT. The only Dolby I don't have now | is 'Aliens Ate My Buick' .... I sold it I think... couldn't get into | it. 'Astronauts and Heretics' is enjoyable but hasn't gripped me. | I do love the Cajun stuff on it, though. I enjoyed the Dolby track | on Toys so much, I bought the soundtrack! Good to get the Tori Amos | track too. I guess I'll have to go out and hear A/H soon... Although I must disagree with the majority of posters here - I feel that Wireless is superior to Flat Earth in every way. I still like TFE, but I'll never get tired of Wireless.. | | Been following Loreena McKennett since '89.
