Yes, I've picked it up. It's short, and all instrumental -- like the tracks on the "Catherine Wheel" with no singing, but darker, more brooding, and more electronic. Then as filler there's some remixes from "feelings," which are fairly good but not essential. I've only heard it once so far, so the above comments are based on a first spin. I don't think it's great -- certainly no "Bush of Ghosts," and not even a "Catherine Wheel" -- but if you are the type of David Byrne fan that owns "The Last Emperor" soundtrack and "The Visible man," then you'll think it's just fine. - --Quail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Great Quail, Keeper of the Libyrinth: http://www.libyrinth.com "His fervour for the written word was an interweaving of solemn respect and gossipy irreverence. . .

So LJ and I were in the Lincoln Center Tower Records last night, and what did I fucking see? A NEW MOODY BLUES Album. Oh, man. See, like Opus the Penguin, I love the Moodies. I am an unabashed early Moodies fan, and out of some adolescent loyalty, I have, over the years, picked up every Moodies album, even the last few which sucked. And sucked hard, too. Even "The Present," their last listenable CD, is sort of lame at places. ("Many places" I can hear Eb breathe softly.) Hell, I even own "Keys to the Kingdom," which is so bad that I have only listened to it one and a half times. So why? Why? Why couldn't they just die out peacefully and not torment me so! Please, Fegs, help me. Send me every bad review of this new Moodies album that you can find. I MUST NOT BUY IT. And, and yet -- even now, my browser is set to Amazon.com. . . . oh! Woe is me! OH, and what *did* I buy at Tower? Well, under the influence of Madame Butterfly, too much champagne, the colorful temptations of a sale rack, and LJ's evil but gentle prodding, I finally did something I've wanted to do for a long time -- I whipped out a credit card and bought the ENTIRE Beatles collection.

TGQ writes: >Please, Fegs, help me. Send me every bad review of this new >Moodies album that you can find. I MUST NOT BUY IT. Sorry Q, but you won't get a bad review of that record from me! I just wanna say that this new Moody Blues album, "Strange Times," is TOTALLY FANTASTIC! Everything about it - the songwriting, the playing, the reverb - is absolutely awesome! I'd recommend that you buy several copies for all your friends and enemies! The fifth song on side 7 (track 14 on CD #3), "To Quench My Restless Thirst for True Spiritual Healing Things," is worth $20 all by itself! Justin's voice is sounding better than ever with the special computerized text-to-speech gear, and ever since Ray lost that 400 pounds, he's looking 75 years younger! It doesn't even look like he's working a toothpick anymore when he plays the flute! What's more, the use of as many as five separate symphony orchestras on each track results in a totally mind-blowing listening experience! (I'm not sure I even have a mind left at this point!) I can hardly wait for their fifth VH/1 special in as many months, which will be airing tomorrow night and every night thereafter for the next 15 weeks! John H. Hedges [Note: I'm not being entirely serious here: You should really buy The Chameleons' "Strange Times" album first, if you don't already have it.] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 11:18 +0000 From: mrrunion@palmnet.net Subject: Floogs & Moyds Speaking of both moogs and Julian Cope: Julian and his entourage have been using a variety of synths during the 90's, some to great effect, others to disasters. Thighpaulsandra has been a mainstay with Julian for most of this time...you may know of him as the guy that filled in as keyboardist for Spiritualized during last years tour. Both of Julian's RITE albums are well-recommended (not entirely just moog though). Julian and Thighpaulsandra teamed up as Queen Elizabeth and put out two very-moogy albums (with lots of theremin and things): Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2: Elizabeth Vagina. Not entirely my taste though, so I don't know how they compare with the other moog examples given. Julian's label also put out a record by a one-guy band called Anal. I'm pretty sure this is just solid moog, but to my ears its pretty unlistenable. Check some of Julian's proper albums from the '90s for occasional moogy blasts - Jehovahkill and Interpreter spring to mind. On Floyd: Well, as you all know by now, Florida was spared. As the Weather Channel guy with whom my wife is completely infatuated said "We dodged a major bullet this time." Very little damage...far less than when Hurrican Erin plowed into Vero Beach a few years back. But GOD, was the mass exodus incredible or what? I had my family head up to Tallahassee Monday night via I-95 and I-10, and I pulled out myself early Tuesday morning (5:30am) via 528, Turnpike, I-75 and I-10 (for those of you familiar with the area) and it was just this weird wonderous site...streams of cars, RVs, army vehicles, whathaveyou stretching into the distance. Every reststop was a massive tailgate party (that's the only analogy I can come up with). I think someone claimed that Floyd has caused the largest single population-shift / evacuation in US history. Don't know about that, but man. Coming home yesterday was even worse...every major and minor artery back to the east coast of Florida was just jammed to a bumper-to-bumper crawl. I feel tremendous empathy for those poor bastards in North Carolina. It's been claimed by certain televangelists that Florida is gonna get pounded this year because Disney employs gays and gives this equal treatment. I think North Carolina is getting pounded because that's the state that bred half of these televangelists! And yes, the accompanying soundtracks to my whole Hurricane Floyd experience were: Pink Floyd - The Wall Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here REM - Murmur through Lifes Rich Pageant and Robyn - Jewels for Sophia Anyway, back to it, Mike (still alive AND with an untouched house!)

The town I live in is a college town with a growing non-college age population, which is bordered by exclusively rural areas. Our college radio stations (we have two) definitely provide the pop music fix I need every once in a awhile....I turn it on and they play Elephant 6 and 'gasp' RobynH and all kinda other stuff I can be guaranteed to not hear on our two local "alternative" station...which play 'pap' pretty much...Creed, more Creed...Wimp Biznesskit, more Creed-alikes...etc (can ya tell I don't dig Creed?). The college radio also has jazz, hip-hop, electronica.... We also have a very strong folk community here, and...this is the interesting thing...many (shudder....I can't believe I'm about to utter this phrase) 'young people' from the college are getting involved in this scene. Both as listeners and musicians. This folk scene includes 'world' folk music, not like Peter-Gabrial-type world music, but traditional, such as Rumanian, Bulgarian, Gypsy, Klezmer, African, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton etc,...as well as yer old-timey and bluegrass. Our 2nd College radio station has lot's of cool folk shows (My S.O. is a folk-D.J. on that station). Who knows...maybe as people get bored with media marketed pap...they'll start looking elseware for musical fixes and discover just how mind-boggling much music is out there outside the "mainstream". Heck, our old-timey group played a show yesterday, I've got a symphony rehearsal tonight (Rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony!), and my own pop-songwriter show this weekend. Who needs MTV?

The middle part of the album is a little covers-heavy . . . but the Beatles started out as a great cover band, so this doesn't exactly spoil the album. For the record, though, "For Sale" was their fourth album (in the U.K., which is how the CDs have been released -- everyone knows this by now, I guess). The first three were: "Please Please Me" "With the Beatles" "Hard Day's Night" I know it kinda *seems* like "For Sale" ought to have come before "Hard Day's Night," since it's not as good (but still definitely a good album) and has a lot of covers, which is par for the course of the first two albums.

But I *did* just get to see him live for the first time ever on Tuesday night. Woo-hee! Great show. A little too much emphasis on the new material. Does he really have to play that much new stuff just to get it the album to sell? But it was worth the price of admission just to see him alone on stage (most of the night was with his way-beyond-competent band) playing an acoustic version of "1952 Vincent Black Lightning." Stunning. Oh, and his boy Teddy has a nice voice. He sang co-leads on 2 or 3 songs and played rhythm guitar all night. If you already like RT a lot, you'll find songs to enjoy on "Mock Tudor."

I listen to "For Sale" fairly infrequently, especially in comparison to most of my other Beatles albums, but sometimes I just really get an itching for "Eight Days a Week" and "I'll Follow the Sun." Of the first three releases, "Hard Day's Night" is the one that appeals (I first typed "apples") the most. I don't think I've listened to that album all the way through since playing a copy that belonged to my old college roommate, who had all the Beatles CDs.
