I have the catalog from 1994 which says on the back page, "expires December 31, 1994." I don't know how useful this is now. I would definitely like to see the 1995 catalog, if it is floating about out there. I sent requests for it to Maxell in August and September; they have yet to respond...

Here's an embaressing scenario. A friend calls up and says she's been listening to a tape I gave her a year and a half ago, and has fallen in love with a song that I neglected to write down. She plays me snippets over the phone, and I have no idea what it is. It's a bluesy female vocalist, who starts kind of slowly and gets more and more intense. The music seems to be mostly piano. It could be called "It's Wonderful", since that is repeated a lot. Here are some mangled lyrics: "I should have had a better time, given all the money I spent. I can't complain about the wine, It's Wonderful." and elsewhere.... "I'll go without I'll go without I'll go with anything that walks or breathes" Any help out there?

Guess I should post more frequently & thus more concisely. At least I have divided this into sections, so feel free to skip to the topic that interests you, if any... 1) The First Even Mildly Negative Jane Review At the risk of sounding heretical in light of multitudes of rave Jane reviews... I had mixed feelings about this show. Let me state my anti-jazz bias right at the beginning though. Let me also mention that everyone else present seemed to *LOVE* the show! So it must just be me... Allow me to start with another illegal, yet brief [>:)] quote from local entertainment paper the Georgia Straight.... Alexander Varty, referring to _Maria_ writes: "I'm still not sure whether it's an artistic triumph or a monumental exercise in self-indulgence." Couldn't have put it better myself! This pretty much sums up my feelings about the concert... Even barring my admitted bias against the style of music on Maria, Jane seemed very detached from the audience during most of the show. The praised interaction with her band as well as the general style of her presentation, quite obviously moving to most of those present, seemed somehow contrived to me. I prefer my artists more down to earth. But before you dismiss me as one who fails to understand Jane's personality, let me add that I had a completely different feeling about the encore (or rather the 3! encores). She finally seemed to open up to the audience, *inter*acting with us, *listening*, replying, laughing, commenting on the venue (strange, but excellent imo- great atmosphere for this type of show and amazing acoustics!- would love to see Sarah play there, though I can't quite picture her doing 'Dear God' -hehe). She seemed more genuine. She also did non-Maria songs, much appreciated by me. The 'Calling All Angels' sing-along was truly moving and I loved just her and her guitar. Ironically, the Georgia Straight had billed her as "quirky Canadian pop diva ('Mimi on the Beach')"... She couldn't be further from that now, and in a way I miss the Jane of 'Everything Reminds me of my Dog'. I love Jane songs like 'Bound by the Beauty', 'Life is the Red Wagon' and 'Sail Across the Water'. Oh well, I'm glad I went anyway.... and hey- I got to meet fellow ectoids Damon and Kevin who graciously saved me a spot on their most excellent 4th row center pew (thanks!! :)) - and I even managed to find them :). 2) 'Hi How Are You Today' Finally!- the long-awaited (especially by me) album by Cape Breton 'punk fiddler' Ashley McIsaac (that's the title up there). Hmmm... Im torn on this one as well. I had high expectations. Perhaps overly high. I've had it for almost two weeks now and have gone through stages with it. Liked it at first, then was disappointed, and now it's growing on me again... Let me try to be more specific... I had expected it to 'rock', which in many ways it does. He is usually billed as 'acceptable traditional music' (ie. to top forty lovers), whereas to me, who loves traditional celtic music, he's more like 'acceptable techno' >:). Not that he's quite techno. It's like fiddle music with a driving beat. At least it is that at its best. Almost unfortunately, this album also has some slower tracks on it, including one beautiful ballady tune. It's not that I don't like that, it's just that that was not what I had expected/ hoped for. Most tracks are instrumental, but he sings on two (one being a hidden slow piano tune at the end). Imho: he should not sing... he sounds vaguley 'Tom Waitsesque' ... but maybe that's just yet another bias... I do appreciate the lovely female Gaelic vocals by Mary Jane Lammond on 'Sleepy Maggie', one of my favourite tracks on the album. Another favourite is 'Sophia's Pipes' (I'm a sucker for bagpipes >:)) and his rocking rendition of 'Brenda Stubbert', in true Ashley style. A lot of the songs on the album sound too 'busy' to me however. The drums are often too loud and drown out the fiddle. A couple of tracks have a bit of a 'grungier' sound to them, with a 'distorted' fiddle sound, whereas I generally prefer a cleaner playing style. All in all I really like this album though, and it is still growing on me, especially now that I know which tracks to skip. It's certainly unique and I would definately recommend it, even if you're not generally a big celtic music fan... 3) Laura Love Continuing in the vaguely celtic vane... I got to experience the 'AfroCeltic' sounds of Seattle's Laura Love about 2 weeks ago. I just love her (pardon the pathetic pun) (as well as the aggravated alliteration >:)). She's great! Great energy... and she seems to be having so much fun herself, dancing around the stage with that permanent smile on her face, that you can't help but enjoy it as well. Everything from funk to bluegrass, reggae to folk ballads. Great show! 4) Moxy Fruvous Saw them this past Saturday. I almost didn't go, but am glad I decided to. I suppose that they are one of those bands in danger of becoming a tiresome novelty act... I continue to find them genuinely funny and entertaining though. Also, I guess it's been long enough since I saw them last. I do agree with someone who said something to this effect here recently (sorry, I can't remember who or what exactly): they do seem to have a bit more 'attitude' these days, but I do still enjoy them - at least once every year or two :). I'm not too crazy about their second album though. As with the Barenaked Ladies' second effort, I'm not convinced that the more serious approach works for them... 5) Veda Hille I know I've said this before, but let me just repeat that I think she's great! I finally had a chance to see her somewhere other than a smoky bar, which was a nice treat. I'm not even crazy about her 'Path of a Body' album - - again, that jazzy problem, and a bit too experimental for my taste... But I think she's brilliant live, and the songs I do like are incredible! I think she's amazingly talented and deserves to be up there with the likes of Tori and Sarah. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to leave Vancouver all that much, though hopefully that will change after her new album, which she is currently working on and which, judging by some of her new songs, should be an excellent album. She's a very talented pianist and I love her lyrics. They tend to be very obscure, and half the time I have no idea what she's talking about, but they seem to make sense on some deeper level... Definitely someone to watch for... ..... well, I could think of a few more things, but I'll spare you.... sorry about this, I'll try to stick to one topic at a time from now on...

I'd forgotten how absolutely wonderful Happy is, not to mention how impressive that voice is. I'd forgotten how I hungered for new Happy material. Well, The Keep may only have 4 new songs, but the old ones are so reworked they might as well be new. A very quiet, acoustic piece, absolutely beautiful. My vote for best of the songs: Prey Of The Strange. When Jeffrey Burka said (in his post regarding her new songs) that the end of the lyric was sublime, he wasn't kidding! Everyone needs this thing! Now! I like the acoustic sound of The Keep. I wonder if this is a new thing with her; I did notice her albums have become more instrumental instead of synthesizered up, and the new new song, "Flash Me Up" is extremely acoustic. WAH! I want a new Happy album! This has totally resparked my interest in her. Does anyone know when a new album will be released? Ariel - -- "I could've... I should've... I could've flown, you know.

Well, looks like it's the week for megaposts from vancouver 'philes, so here's mine. (Neil, you're next! :) ) Several things to talk about, which are: Erasure, _Erasure_ Dead Can Dance, _Aion_ JANE! Erasure: their eponymous release is undoubtedly my favourite erasure album so far (clocking in at 71:25, i think it's also the longest erasure album so far)... beautiful, haunting, and extremely catchy. Members of the Orb join erasure in production, and Diamanda Galas performs solos on a couple of songs, helping out quite nicely with the haunting bit :). Easily the best thing erasure's done. imho. Dead Can Dance: my only complaint about Aion is that it's too short. beautiful, medieval, and i just can't get enough of lisa gerrard's voice!.... does anyone have any recommendations about which album to buy next? (i have aion, into the labyrinth, towards the within, and spleen and ideal). Although i can just see them anouncing a box set immediately after i finish buying the whole set. oh well.... in a similar vein, what do people here think about This mortal coil?... i've been considering buying their box set, but it's extremely expensive here (~$130 CDN for 4 discs :( )... And here's my thingy of the jane concert in vancouver monday: it was wonderful! jane's sense of humour really came through, and the interaction between the members of the band was quite interesting to watch (jane's subtle hand motions, and not-so-subtle out loud comments which were picked up quite well by the mike :) ) notable moments: jane performed most of the songs from _maria_, beginning with "moon river," seguing into a short burst of a song i know but can't remember the title of, basically repeating "i want to live in america!" a few times (which was absolutely hilarious!), then into "maria" from west side story, then into "maria" from _maria_. during "lovin' cup," jane made some rather intriguing hand gestures suggesting the "fill me up" referred to pregnancy... done in a certain janey way that rendered it cute and humourous, without losing its sexuality... jane sang a cute duet of "shenandoah" with the bassist (?), even though he didn't know the words :-).. she turned her back to the audience and mouthed the words to him just before each verse... quite funny. the three encores! it was wonderful!.. the first encore consisted of jane and the band playing "love is everything"... seguing at the end into "moon river," which gave a nice circularity to the concert, and also sort of hinted that that was the end. They left the stage, but people just kept clapping (and pounding the pews with the bibles conveniently located in little bible holders in front of them :) ).. she returned with the band, and asked the crowd if we felt like singing... she coached us a bit, then began "calling all angels".. the beginning part where she recites the saints' names was given new significance in that setting, and jane was backlit, which caused a giant jane shadow to be projected onto the back wall of the church, moving slowly, swaying from side to side... it felt like nothing so much as an apparition. and when the crowd joined in during the chorus, it was absolutely amazing... the sound of hundreds of people singing quietly together, echoing through the giant space of the church. she left the stage again, and after yet more minutes of applause came back by herself... she told us that that was the end of the music, though... she asked for suggestions as to what to do, and someone yelled out that she tell a story. Jane began this story about a man with a creepy name who hid behind trees, and every time someone in the village mentioned his name, everyone would shudder... then someone shouted for her to pick up the guitar, which she hadn't done yet. she picked up the guitar and played "goodbye sweet pumpkinhead," seguing into "you don't need", into the first few minutes of "oh my my", then into a musical thing lyrically inspired by "bound by the beauty", then into a musical goodbye and thank you.... she left the stage, and the crowd seemed to realise that this was an appropriate closure. applause lasted only a short time (comparatively), and the house lights went up. well, that's it for my hastily banged-out reviews... kevin ------------------------------ From: spanglemaker Date: Wed, 22 Nov 1995 13:55:01 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: Jane!

Just got a copy of _Blood_ for my birthday (from the same man who gave me _Warpaint_ for my birthday a few years back. [Thanks, Deniz!]). It's really my first exposure to TMC and I like it. Dreamy, rambling. It feels like they have someplace to go, but they're in no hurry getting there. It's a long album, the kind that you really want to hear all the way through on each listen. Listening to the album, I've thought "Sam Rosenthal (black tape for a blue girl) probably has a ton of This Mortal Coil in his CD collection." And I realize why some people thought Big Hat sounded like TMC. There's also a touch of Jane Siberry in there (the touched by the finger I like :)). But while we're on the subject of This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance, can anyone elucidate their relationship to Heavenly Bodies? The C'est La Mort catalog always described Heavenly Bodies as composed of two members of TMC and two members of DCD. Which are which and which albums are they on? I'm particularly interested in the work by Heavenly Bodies' vocalist, Caroline Seaman. (I know she appeared on Heavenly Voices I with an outfit called Pupilla).

I was not terribly impressed by "Bird," either. The show was interesting; tonight's should be even more so, covering their LSD era. Love the fact that they wore more leather than the Stones in their club days. I seldom indulge in nostalga; even though I have all the original albums from the '60s I bought then, I spend 99% of my listening time on current music by new bands; post-'80s, and stuff I have learned about here. If you would like to have an album of brand-new Beatles music, pick up an album called "Meet the Rutles," a mid-'80s parody by Eric Idle and others. The songs are done so well, and so much in the style of the real group, it is like a real Beatles. Best tracks are "Hold My Hand" and "Piggy In The Middle." There is a rentable videotape of the TV-movie from which the record comes; it is a real hoot. |^^^^^^Please don't add "*@aol.com" to your twit filter.
