Just the four of them, in a studio, no audience, no extra backing guitarists/vocals/etc... nothing. They do a haunting version of Atom Heart Mother Suite (again, without all the horns and chanting, just them playing), a beautiful Grantchester Meadows, also, Embryo, Cymbaline, Saucerful of Secrets and Green Is The Colour, if memory serves. I shouldn't make any promises, because it may be in storage in Seattle, in which case it may be months before I can get it. Also I have no way of doing VHS tape-to-tape, and would need to hook up w/ someone in the SF bay area who could dupe it. But, that said, if I can dig it up and someone can dupe it, I'd be more than happy to share with any interested parties for cost of blanks & shipping. Or.... if by some miracle someone around here has the means to make quicktime movies from it and a place to upload them, of course, that would be great as well.

And why would he recommend both those albums, then recommend the Gravy Deco compilation of the same two albums? (Is the disco remix of "Kingdom Of Love" that important?) And are the last four bootlegs or something, or just RH's strange sense of humor? To the person who originally asked what album to get after Storefront Hitchcock, I would recommend "I Often Dream Of Trains" very strongly. No songs from Storefront, but a gentle, acoustic sorta sound, and a great album from start to finish. Also, while "Gotta Let This Hen Out" couldn't be more different from Storefront, the song selection on it gives a very nice overview of the first couple of years of RH's solo career. I might also recommend "A Star For Bram", only because it's the same time period as Jewels but I happen to like it better. (Note for the original questioner's benefit: You can't get Bram in stores, you can only order it through .) Oh! And "The Kershaw Sessions" is very nice and probably a good survey of a couple of years' worth of his output. You can decide which songs you like and go from there. I would also like to put in two cents sticking up for "Groovy Decoy" and "You & Oblivion". While they may be spottier than some of his other albums, I think they both have good songs on them that a hardcore fan's collection would be incomplete without. Personally I can drop the needle on "When I was A Kid" and be thoroughly entertained up through the end of "Midnight Fish" (I have the Gravy Deco compilation.) And I think "You & Oblivion" is a good listen, no really bad songs on it, and if he would have taken maybe the best 5 or 6 songs on it and just released that as an EP, it would have been considered great. Screw it. Just get everything. (Although unless you like the poppier stuff you should probably save Perspex Island 'till you can find it cheap.)

Somewhere, long ago and far away, Robyn listed his 10 favorite albumns ... and one of them was Heroes.

Sounds like you have pretty catholic Hitchcock tastes. I find searching Mp3s as songs works most easily so-- At least once haven't we done a poll here of the 10 best Hitchcock songs? Is it enshrined somewhere besides the archive? I think "Airscape" won, with "I Often Dream of Trains" "Glass" "Glass Hotel","Raymond Chandler Evening" somewhere in the rear. Id add "Bass"(tis the season) "Tell Me About your Drugs","The Crawling", "Winchester" "Vibrating","Unsettled" "One Long Pair of Eyes(and the ramble before it, very funny)" "Cars She Used to Drive" "America" "Got A Message For You" "Blues in A" if followed by "Youve Got a Sweet Mouth On You Baby","Star of Hairs" "Satellite" "Aquarium""Queen Elvis" "Cynthia Mask" " Sounds Great When Your Dead" "Uncorrected Personality Traits""Flavor of Night""This Could Be the Day" "Sinister But Happy""Speed of Things" " Always Bleeding" "Acid Bird" "Do Policemen Sing" "Arms of Love" "Railway Shoes" "Wreck of the Arthur Lee" "Radio Storm" "Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom" "Only You" "Heaven" "Insect Mother" "Edyptian Cream" "Strawberry Mind" "Birds in Perspex""Listening to the Higsons" "Bones In the Ground" "Brendas Iron Sledge" "City of Shame" "Some Body" "Dwarfbeat" "Edyptian Cream" "Flavor of Night" "Sally Was A Legend" "Mexican God" "Dark Green Energy" "I Dream of Antwoman" "Jewels for Sophia" ""Happy the Golden Prince" "Perspex Island""Ultra Unbelievable Love" "She Dosnt Exist" "A Skull a Suitcase and a Long Red Bottle of Wine" and many many more.

Its ironic, (thou dont remember it in Walden, many years...)cause I must admit, I find the sound of a train comforting and nostalgic. The clanking, the whistle, its all an earlier era, or maybe just my childhood. Anyway--my Paradise has a train line thru the wilderness. Auden wrote this sweet funny essay about what his kingdom of Paradise would be like. It had stuff like old mining equipment in it. Its a neat ides-- figuring out what would your Paradise would have in it. Everyone would have different stuff. Think what Robyn's would have. Definiatly trains and trams. And water.

Le Guin this weekend. She was far more appreciative of her Thoth than I suspect Peter Buck would have been (in fact, he may have had an episode of "Thoth rage"). She signed my copy of "The Left Hand of Darkness" and commented on the ugly cover, which she called "the frozen snot cover." I was too overawed to say much. I will leave it to Viv to describe her own encounter with Ms. Le Guin. "Urgh!" fuckin' rules. I rented it about five years ago and watched it twice in a row, all the way through. My friend Bryan and I were stunned by Klaus Nomi. Bryan was also entranced by "the guy in the little car" (Gary Numan). My other favorite performances included Pere Ubu, the Au Pairs, the Cramps, Wall of Voodoo, and XTC - both their own performance and the bit at the end where Andy Partridge bonks Sting over the head with a pineapple. Unfortunately the video store where I rented the tape somehow no longer carries it, and I suspect it got stolen. I went to an XTC tribute night on Saturday. It was pretty enjoyable, and (sad to say) rather more interesting than the Robyn tribute, mainly due to a greater variety of bands. There were a lot of good performances so I'm not sure which was my favorite - I liked the minimalist version of "Grass" (with a single violin), a jazzy "Making Plans for Nigel," and the little guy dressed as a pirate who bellowed in fine Partridgean form during "Complicated Game." The worst performances came from a couple of women who thought they were Sarah McLachlan, though one of them performed the bravura feat of whipping a capo on in mid-song ("Dear God," of course). The bands performed songs from all of XTC's albums except "White Music" and "Wasp Star," interestingly enough. I can't really blame them. that is all, n. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 12:01:53 -0400 From: "Poole, R.

I will leave it to Viv to describe her own encounter > with Ms. Le Guin. Ah, my hero. I have a problem with encountering my heroes, because I know that inevitably they will fail to live up to my expectations, and also that I will fail to live up to my own expectations- turning from suave witty me into bumbling, awkward me. So these days I try not to get my expectations too high. So there I was, in a haze of denial about the person in front of me (if I pretend she's just another person, then I won't get nervous) when I suddenly realized I didn't have any idea what I was going to say, other than, "uh, my name's Vivien, I love yer stuff." I prepped myself thusly: "Ask her about HG Wells. Ask her about HG Wells. Don't gush, just ask an intelligent question." Of course, when I found myself before her, I said "Hi, my name's Vivien, I think you're really great." Fuck, I blanked again. Luckily, the line was dwindling rapidly at that point, so we just stuck around until the last person in line finished getting science fiction recommendations from the tedious hacks who were also signing books next to our illustrious Ms. LeGuin. I approached, cleared my throat, and said, "Er, I was just wondering, do you like HG Wells?" She peered at me with her bright eyes, and then lit up and said "Of course! I was raised on his stories!" "But, have you read any of his other stuff, like his political or philosophical stuff?" "I read one of his utopia books..." And so we chatted amiably for a minute or two, when I said something about Ann Veronica (which is a beautifully sympathetic account of the suffragettes in London at the turn of the last century) and then she really lit up and told me her mother had made her read that and she was very impressed that I had read such an obscure book. I felt inordinately pleased with myself. So, high on life, I asked if we could have a picture taken (really pushing my luck, because she has a reputation for being very touchy about stuff like that). She said of course, so now there is a visual record of Gnat and I standing next to (or rather, behind) one of our favorite authors. Hurrah! Vivien ps- I did manage to embarrass myself by attempting to tell her that she and HG Wells are my absolute heroes, which made me sort of teary and choked up. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 12:46:00 -0400 From: Ken Weingold Subject: Re: Floyd movies...

In fact the Floyd recorded a whole soundtrack for the film, but Antonionioni(oni) kept rejecting tunes, saying "Eet is too sad" or "Eet is too 'appy" about each tune. In the end they only had a couple of things on the soundtrack album - but presumably the other stuff that they recorded exists somewhere. Incidentally, the film is a load of hippie tripe. And BTW, you are more likely to find the "Vallee" soundtrack under the title "Obscured by Clouds" (or possibly "The valley obscured by clouds"). [Thinks: That was a duff film too. But not as bad as "Start the revolution without me"]. - - Mike Godwin PS Who was responsible for checking Mika's clutch pedal?
