To be honest, I'm not getting to see much, but despite a fantastic start, there hasn't been much I wanted to see. I highly recommend the Aussie film "Lantana", which just got a release over here: beautifully acted, elliptically paced, grips like a vice. I also thought "Minority Report" was great (a canny collision of Dick and Hitchcock), while "Mulholland Drive", released here earlier this year, is already one of my fave films ever. Apart from that...well, without wanting to start another "Magnolia" row, I had the misfortune to see the appallingly overrated "Royal Tannenbaums", as well as "Iris" (my girlfriend, who loved it, wouldn't talk to me the rest of the evening)"Gosford Park" (a bit like a superior Poirot mystery, to be shown over Xmas holidays). Even "8 Legged Freaks", which I expected to be a good bit of fun (and I'm terrified of spiders) was a washout. I still hope to see "Insomnia", though -- I loved "Memento" and, while I can almost predict Pacino's performance, I'd love to see what Williams does. It would be great to see Swank, who was mind-blowing in "Boys Don't Cry". Oh, and please...go easy on the Buffy stuff. We've only just finished Season Five over here and, not having cable, I'm not likely to see season six for a while. Such talk of Season SEVEN is giving me coniptions of longing. Still, I'm reading again, which thrills me -- I hit a rut earlier this year which had me carting the same book around for four months, uninspired and unable to summon the energy to read it, but a two week break jump-started it all. I'm currently engrossed in Ian McEwan's "Atonement". He's not an author I've ever really taken to, before, but this has me gripped. There's no ecto content to this, is there? Sorry about that --I need to get some more music! adam k.

Though I wasn't as impressed with their latest (is it ever going to get a US release?) I think that their first and second CD's were quite nice. MANDALAY kinda bores me, but I figure it might be because I have their US release, which from what I have been told is a compilation of songs from their first two releases, and a bad compilation at that. For me, it's great as background sounds, but nothing is very memorable. I loaned it out to a friend of mine and I don't miss it. LAIKA is a name that pops up constantly as someone I would like, but I have yet to track anything down by them. Anyone have a suggestion as to where to start? > Speaking of Emiliana Torrini, she's very worth checking out. > She's Italian-Icelandic, and if you like Bjork, you'd probably > like Emiliana. I do however really miss the EMILIANA TORRINI album that I loaned out to him. LOVE IN THE TIME OF SCIENCE is quite nice. Everyone calls her BJORKlite basically because she is from ICELAND and has the same accent as BJORK. She's constantly bugged by this and in interviews her response is usually "you know, if you go to ICELAND you will find that there is a whole COUNTRY who has my accent." Though she definitely has a bit of a BJORK feel in her voice, and the electronic bleeps are all over her album, she does tend to avoid the histrionics and drama of BJORK which either irritate or make you love BJORK. I happen to love the drama, but find that EMILIANA is quite a nice relief. The album is produced by ROLAND ORZABAL - the guy behind TEARS FOR FEARS, so that should give you an idea of what it sounds like. A mix of later day TEARS FOR FEARS and BJORK. >> Hooverphonic's not new, but worth listening to... > > They don't do much for me. Don't know why. Too smooth, maybe. I > like more edges. I personally find HOOVERPHONIC nice, but unmemorable, similar to the MANDALAY that I have. I like one song off of their first album (the one that featured in a movie come to think of it - 2WICKY is the name of the song), but the rest sort of just floats by. I much prefer MORCHEEBA whose second album BIG CALM is brilliant. Very recommended. Their followup FRAGMENT'S OF FREEDOM was rather an uninteresting attempt at a radio friendly pop album (I kept on hearing the lead single whenever I got dragged into BANANA REPUBLIC by my friends which pretty much ruined it for me). They just released a new album called CHARANGO and I've only listened to it twice. It seems like a nice return to their BIG CALM days, but its too early for me to tell. > Broadcast has a really '60s sound, like and yet unlike Stereolab I like BROADCAST a lot, and I really like STEREOLAB - at least in theory. I really loved EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP and DOTS AND LOOPS, but that's pretty much all I need by them. A little STEREOLAB goes a long way for me. I mean one too many loops, one too many experimental bleeps. I keep on buying random STEREOLAB albums and they get filed away after one or two listens. If I want to listen to STEREOLAB, I just pull out ETK or D&L. BUT if you do like STEREOLAB I would recommend SUGAR PLANT. They are a japanese band that definitely STEREOLAB feel, but a little more hypnotic. Their album HAPPY/TRANCE MELLOW (it's a double CD) is exactly what the titles sounds like. The first CD (HAPPY) is quite chipper, while the second CD (TRANCE MELLOW) is nice cooldown stuff. For other ecto friendly electronica (didn't we come up with some silly name like ectronica when this topic came up last time?) I would check out: PORTISHEAD - why hasn't anyone mentioned them? And what are they up to lately? BOWERY ELECTRIC - LUSHLIFE, their third album is electronica, while their previous efforts were more shoegazer guitar drone (more TORTOISE, SEEFEEL etc). That isn't to say that they haven't kept that on this album, but they really seemed to replace some of the droning guitars with electronic squibbles. Fans of SLOWDIVE, MASSIVE ATTACK, LUNA, SPIRITUALIZED, laterday YO LA TENGO and MORCHEEBA will really appreciate LUSHLIFE. MONO - they have the song that's been featured in a million movies called LIFE IN MONO but the rest of the album is decent as well EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL - WALKING WOUNDED and TEMPERMENTAL MASSIVE ATTACK - who have featured singers like LIZ FRAZIER formerly of THE COCTEAU TWINS and TRACEY THORN of EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL SNEAKER PIMPS - their first album, though their later stuff is good, the female singer left and now the guy sings ESTHERO - who is totally underrated. she was featured on a song by NELLY FURTADO, that was left off her album. why I don't know. not that I own the NELLY FURTADO album. I don't really. um. anyway ESTHERO is moody and quite haunting. not as hard edged as LAMB, but not as mellow as MANDALAY or HOOVERPHONIC. somewhere inbetween. ANDREA PARKER - a bit of a haunting LAMB feel but not quite as aggressive. GUS GUS - who among other people singing, feature EMILIANA TORRINI..... SINGLE GUN THEORY - okay they have a real 80's feel, even though a lot of their stuff is from the 90's as well. I dunno, but I still have a soft spot for them. Sort like how I have a soft spot for ENIGMA, DELERIUM, QKUMBA ZOO, and MOUTH MUSIC. Sort has that vaguely world music feel with beats. Is SGT still around? Does anyone really listen to/make that sort of music anymore? Hmmm.... other bands that aren't really electronica (in my mind, not that I draw that much of distinction, I mean I probably wouldn't have classified EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL as electronica...) but have elements or have experimented/incorporated electronica elements into their sounds include: LORI CARSON, BETH ORTON, the RICKI LEE JONES album GHOSTYHEAD, DOT ALLISON (formerly of ONE DOVE whose album AFTERGLOW features KEVIN SHIELDS of MY BLOODY VALENTINE playing guitar on a song), LIDA HUSIK/HUSIKESQUE, AIR, and SAINT ETIENNE. oh yeah and let's not forget HAPPY RHODES. her last couple of albums probably fall into that whole ectronica category, not to mention the fact that they are pretty darn tasty to the ear as a whole. Irvin Ps. On a completely unrelated note, how come no one has mentioned the new SINEAD O'CONNOR album due out on OCTOBER 8 (the day before my birthday)? Anyone heard/read reviews about it? I think it's suppose to be an album of classic CELTIC songs or something like that. That's all I know. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:04:46 +0200 From: "Marcelo E.

It's a *lot* mellower than Imogen Heap's solo album. It fits into the trip-hop/electronica categories, but on the lighter side. Sort of along the lines of Mandalay, but better than _Instinct_, which is the only album of theirs I know. I like it a lot. I'm actually quite out of the electronica thing right now. As for Veda... it is wonderful to have new Veda. I'm listening to _Auditorium_ right now. But I like _Silver_ better. _Auditorium_ There's a lot about this album I love: The exuberance of songs I already know and love like "INSTRUCTIONS" and "Killzone!" and of new songs "Bedlam" and "Lying." The interludes, very funny, which are such a wonderful offering into her personality. The horns on "A Peculiar Value." "Seasoned" which is stripped down, slowed down, and quite haunting. The version of "Tuktoyaktuk Hymn" with the crowd softly singing along is beautiful; I like it much better than the version on _Field Study_ which I almost always skip over. There are a few things I don't like: "The Ballad of Marie Sanders," "Song for Snake," "With no caring" (mostly because of the horns, I think). And "Precious Heart," one of my favorite songs ever, I find fairly unrecognizable here. I hope it will grow on me. Over all, the album does a good job of melding the songs from her different albums and different styles. She does 4 songs from _Field Study_, 3 each from YDNLITWA and _Spine_, 2 from _Path of a Body_, and 1 each from _ Here Is a Picture_ and _Silver_ plus 2 songs that are either previously unrecorded or from albums I don't have. It's not necessarily easy to go from "birdsong" to "Killzone!" but she does it with naturalness and ease. I've never seen Veda live in concert, but _Auditorium_ certainly makes me want to. _Silver_ I just absolutely love this album, and it's such a pleasure. It's the first Veda Hille album in a while that has not had to grow on me; I just loved it from the start. "You Know That Song?" is a clever amalgam of songs, many of which you will recognize. "Instructions" is redone on the theme of campground rules. "Road to Nowhere" is so joyful, I can picture a crowd singing along, and I feel like I am there with them. All the songs are wonderful, and they range in styles. Some like "Nostalgia Song" sound like they could have come from _Here Is a Picture_. "Stepdaughter's Delight" is solo piano with traditional Irish elements while "Comrades" contains some words from "Selected Jewish Songs for Members of the Armed Forces," and I hear traditional Jewish elements or influence in the music too. "Bedlam" would fit on _Spine_ or _YDNLITWA_. My favorite though is "The Heart" which is built on the phrase "the heart does not pound without cause" from an Anna Akhmatova poem. Veda's chorus is "The heart does not pound without cause. Rejoice, rejoice." Isn't that beautiful?

The first one got caught in my head as there's something more interesting going on with it, and I attribute that to the Stigsworth contribution.

I do like _Sound-Dust_, the most recent, pretty well. > For other ecto friendly electronica (didn't we come up with some silly name > like ectronica when this topic came up last time?)

Esthero didn't do anything for me, and the album left our collection. Weird that I don't like Hooverphonic or Esthero, but I do like that one Mandalay album. Well, there's no account for taste, is there? I think what works for me with that Mandalay is the songwriting. Rather than moodpieces, the songs are catchy to me. > ANDREA PARKER - a bit of a haunting LAMB feel but not quite as aggressive.

What I haven't liked about Sinead since her second album is her material. Her songwriting (or is it the production?) has just gotten so bland to me.... She can still belt it out, and I like her voice, but don't care for what she belts out. So many if she's doing classic Celtic material I could get interested in her again. I'm tired of _wanting_ to like her albums and not being able to stand having them in my player. - --Neile - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- neile@drizzle.com / neile@sff.net......http://www.sff.net/people/neile The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music ......... http://www.ectoguide.org ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Sep 2002 11:32:37 -0400 From: "Pamela P."

Auditorium is the new live record, taken from shows in vancouver on may 24 and 25 2002. it's an hour long, and includes reworked models of the songs Plants, Ballad of Marie Sanders, Lying, Instructions, birdsong, Precious Heart, Tuk Hymn, With no Caring, A Peculiar Value, Bedlam, and many others. plus amusing banter! if you want to order it now, just print out the order page and cross off the title of another cd, writing auditorium in its place. prices are the same at this point, but there will be an increase in the fall so consider yourself warned. Silver is a new collection of songs written for the 25th anniversary of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. we did a quick and dirty recording of the new song cycle, and made 500 of a limited edition signed and numbered (and hand assembled) cd. it is 30 minutes long, and very sweet. to order it, just do the same as above for auditorium. Silver is priced at 12 dollars canadian, and 10 dollars US. There are only 100 left. other news: I'm off to whitehorse, yukon for the rest of the summer to work on new material. in the fall there will be a cross canada band tour in support of Auditorium, and hopefully another field study jaunt in germany. I'm also hoping to make it down to california sometime in the next 6 months, but til then you can see my husband's band p:ano touring from vancouver to san diego and back mid august. they're lovely, and i play quite a bit on their new record When it's dark and it's summer. happy trails everyone. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 15:35:11 -0400 From: Jeff Wasilko Subject: Re: how to get new veda hille On Fri, Sep 06, 2002 at 10:31:47AM -0700, Damon Harper wrote: > unfortunately i suspect i missed out on silver, if there were only 100 > copies left. :( I sent in a check about 15 days ago and haven't gotten anything back yet...I'm hoping it got there! - -j ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 14:36:49 -0700 From: Neile Graham Subject: Re: various and sundry Correction: Two Loons for Tea is at http://www.twoloons.com - --Neile ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Sep 2002 17:46:48 -0400 From: Jeffrey Burka Subject: Re: how to get new veda hille Jeff Wasilko sez: > I sent in a check about 15 days ago and haven't gotten anything > back yet...I'm hoping it got there! for what it's worth, I mailed my check on 8/6 and received my CDs about 3+ weeks later.

Life, statistically, is odd half the time at a rather high frequency, and oddness is, of course, a matter of a single bit, so saying that "life has been a bit odd recently" is entirely redundant.
