Colin's taste is usually pretty reliable, in my opinion, so I'm getting ready to be disappointed come the 23rd... XTC - Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol 2) ***3/4 Colin 30 April 2000 The two remaining lads try to rock out in their quintessentially English way, after the last comeback album. This is the 'guitars' album as Vol 1 is the 'orchestral/acoustic' one, and the riffs are on display. The energy and the production is on, but the songs aren't as good as Vol 1's on the whole. 1. Playground Andy writes/sings. Tired metaphor of 'life is school'. Nice backup singing by Andy's daughter on bridge. Runs into - 2. Stupidly Happy Andy. One of his patented 'life is so fantastically wonderful' songs (see 7 below). Flogs one riff to death but the way it builds is great. Nice Brian Wilsonesque rondo vocals on the fade. 3. In Another Life Colin. Colin's been really getting into the whole 'love songs for the middle-aged' thing lately. Insistent harmonica riff that grates, and the chorus has no lift at all. 4. My Brown Guitar An Andy 'sex is so fantastically wonderful' (see 7 and 10 below) song. Very goofy in a 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' sort of way. 5. Boarded Up Colin goes for the Tom Waits Bone Machine-era sound, which is a tad unexpected. Despondent shuffling, some sort of ghost town/Old West vibe, and Colin's vocals in a different style from his usual. Tune goes nowhere, but maybe that's the point, eh? 6. I'm the Man Who Murdered Love The Hit Single by Andy, a bit like 'The Disappointed' or 'The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead' in that it uses despair as a good subject for a pop song. The song is like gum in your brain - you just can't get it out. Runs into - 7. We're All Light Andy further investigates the 'quasi-Eastern/Ravel's Bolero' pop song (see 'Garden of Earthly Delights', 'The Green Man') along with doing his 'life/sex is fantastically etc.' bit. He sounds like he's having a great time singing, especially in the little sex-mechanics rap on the bridge; his enthusiasm's catching. Runs real close to - 8. Standing In for Joe Colin. Decent little song, but there's absolutely nothing clever about it - no couplet that delivers something that sticks in the mind, even the entrance to the bridge is as expected as it tries not to be. He even repeats the first verse at the end, and it was dull the first time. 9. Wounded Horse Andy in 'been fucked over' mode. Sort of an Old West blues. The Western imagery is pretty silly, and the music is so overdone that it's goofy. 10. You and the Clouds Will Still Be Beautiful Andy. One of his 'huh?' tunes that have jerky melodies and odd lyrics, which have all sorts of weird tucks and folds that make them memorable. I think he's doing stuff like this more often because sequencers make it easy to come up with rhythmically convoluted loops ('River of Orchids'). 11. Church of Women Andy. Some people find the 'men are really just schmucks and women are intrinsically noble' sentiments cloying and easy, but I have to hand it to him for writing a song that's both about being overwhelmed by generalized sexual desire, and about how women get a raw deal, which is a clumsy combination, but I think it works here. Oh, the music? Great, except for that guitar solo - somebody get Andy some coffee and wake him up! 12. The Wheel and The Maypole Andy. Frankenstein's monster of 'Love on a Farmboy's Wages' on steroids and a Byrds tune. Great interweaving of various vocal lines from the song's different sections on the fade, which is something he does throughout the album, but most satisfyingly here. - - Colin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 01:02:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Natalie Jacobs Subject: Disclaimer Re: Wasp Star review (100% XTC spoilers) Oh, and I'm supposed to tell you that the review is actually just "notes," not a completed review. n. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 17:29:21 +1200 From: digja611@student.otago.ac.nz Subject: new feg question/more US vs English >My name is Benjamin Lukoff.

I've never been there myself, but I've read that American-style spellings are gaining ground in Australia: for example, both "color" and "colour" are used, as well as "center" and "centre." And doesn't the Australian Labor Party spell its name that way, sans "u"? Speaking of colours, in America "gray" is the dominant spelling but "grey" is also accepted. My 10th grade history teacher insisted that "grey" was the *only* acceptable spelling, but then, she was senile. Does anyone remember the Inspector Morse mystery where a conservative Oxford don illustrates the depravity of Americans by pointing out that they spell "honour" without a "u"?

"We're All Light" is a really good song. i do agree with whoever said that Moulding was rapidly becoming more of an obstruction than a songwriter. still holding out for "The Ship Trapped In The Ice", aaron ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 10:41:30 -0500 (CDT) From: Marshall Needleman Armintor Subject: cale developments.... One of y'all cinephilic fegs might know about this...saw _American Psycho_ last night, and in the opening credit crawl, I got a shudder of delight seeing the name "John Cale" beneath the word "Soundtrack." Is it really him? The music is pretty good -- minimalistic and melancholy...bravo to whoever did the score, even if it isn't our favorite Welshman. I can't really recommend the movie to anyone whose interest isn't piqued by now. The first half is played Bonfire of the Vanities-style broad, the second is a little deeper than that. Willem Dafoe and Chole Sevigny have little more than extended cameos, the acting is okay for the most part, but Christian Bale is really good. There's an hysterical moment when, while directing a Sadean scenario with two hookers as a Phil Collins CD plays, he gives a critical analysis of Collins's emergence as the dominant voice in Genesis ["with their 1980 masterpiece, 'Duke'"] as the logical end-all & be-all of their musical development, because he found their early work to be "too arty and too intellectual."

If I'm not mistaken, he pronounces it "off-tin" like a good Englishman should. Along the same lines, I used to have a cassette copy of IODoT which listed "Trams of Old London" as "Trains of Old London." I wasn't sure if it was a typo ("i + n" looks a little like an "m") or if it was because it was intended for American consumption.

In fact, I really enjoy the disc. It's just not on par with "Oranges & Lemons," "English Settlement" or "Skylarking" is all. "Apple Venus" would have easily made my Top 10 or 20 list of 1999 if I wasn't too wishy-washy to make one. However, avoid the demos version of the album, "Homespun," like a leper. Completely worthless if you already own "AV." >Speaking of apples, anyone heard the new Apples in Stereo? "The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone" is simply terrific, and catchy as hell. I still can't get songs like "Go" or "Look Away" out of my head. Quite easily their best effort so far. Speaking of Elephant 6, the new Of Montreal compilation is well worth picking up, too. The recently released Macha/Bedhead EP is also highly recommended, and not just because it contains a bizarre cover version of Cher's "Believe." Macha is quite bizarre live. They use a great deal more feedback in concert, and as a consequence, the voices of the individual instruments - many quite unique in the rock/pop context - become much less distinct than on the albums. I don't necessarily mind noise-pop, but in concert much of the beauty of their pieces was lost. I've been listening to the new King Crimson album online (legally, via Real Audio) and while I'm not overly impressed, I'm not definitely not disappointed either.
