Another westernlike band is Mazzy Star. They have made two records:"She hangs brightly" and "So tonight that I might see" (1990 and 1993 Capitol Records). Actually they are a lot better than Mojave 3, the vocals by Hope Sandoval is really cool, mixed with a bit of noise and lots of slideguitar. Lots of atmosphere and melancholy... They are playing at Roskilde Festival in Denmarks this year, so everybody: check them out!!! (By the way the festival is sold out, and it is not be possible to buy tickets at the gates, so dont go there unless you have a ticket by now!)

This means the following: 1. All email sent to me or any of the mailing lists at Lysator will _not_ be distributed (not to me, or the mailing lists) before Lysator is back up again at their new location. 2. All email sent to me or any of the mailing lists at Lysator will be _saved_ on another server, and held there until Lysator is back up again at their new location - and _then_ distributed (to me and to the mailing lists). 3. This means that there are no problems sending mail to me or to the lists, only that a slight delay (only a couple of days, I hope) will occur before the mail is distributed. 4. I guess we all will notice when this happens, and when everything is back up again (can you say "flooded mailboxes"...) Oh and the WWW servers will of course also be down during this time. Stay tuned... //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 22:10:36 +0100 (BST) From: "P.D.Howard" Subject: Silvania Hi folks, Well, for the continuing edification of the list I can report that Silvania's "Paisanje III" arrived from Spain on Tuesday 4th of this month, so it took 2-3 weeks to arrive. This seems pretty reasonable to me, and Elefant seem from the literature accompanying it to be well organised etc. Their badges are nothing to write home about, but the postcards boast an excellent design and are well worth 50ptas apiece! And the music? Not bad at all. After two listens I'm unsure whether it'll be something I'll come back to a lot, but it's decent ambient guitar pop (generally somewhere between 5ep and "Pygmalion" in deference to us being Slowdive fans) with a good musical range. It's neither run of the mill nor genuinely groundbreaking stylistically. I seem to remember Wilder describing it as "sweet pornography", which is maybe stretching it, but I'm not one for the adjectives. Sorry if this isn't very helpful, but my brain is fried from academic work at the moment and I don't feel like writing a proper review. They have another album out now or very shortly. I'll post the title and cost up some other time. Worth considering.

All i know is that it's a kind of tribute to Silvania, with ambient luminaries, like Autechre!!, playing Silvania's songs. Regards.

Their music is very ambient guitar stuff with heavily reverbed vocals. It sounds like it was all recorded in a cathedral. Their songs sound like the songs "Losing today" and "Albatross" by Slowdive.

Wilder, are >you there? Sweet pornography, it is. Or at least it is that way for me. Paisaje III: -"Eva sobre Eva" -trans. "Eva over Eva", the lyrics of the song are metaphoras about lesbians, eg: "y el tiempo ilumina sus rostros excitados,...sus cuerpos de ninas" (trans." and the time lights her stired faces...her girl's bodys" -"Nudo de cielo y delfin" ("Knot from heaven and dolphin") "...huele a tu cuerpo...en mi sed, en mi lengua...arde siempre..." (trans.: "Smells like your body...in my thirst, in my tongue...always burn...". Actually is very difficult to understand all what they say. But in "En cielo de Oceano" comes all the lyrics: -"Oval": "Acaso no escuchas batiendose bajo el cielo de acuario anunciandote que mi amor viene al fin por ti. (t: "Perhaps you don't listen flapping under the aquarium's heaven announcing that my love comes at last for you". -"Maldoror":"El caos sabe tu nombre lo se por tus ojos por tu boca por tu sexo por tus alas".(t:"The caos knows your name I know by your eyes by your mouth by your sex by your wings" -"Aura y tu" ("Breeze and you"): "Las mas bellas rosas arden bajo tus pies y bajo las rosas arde mi cabeza envuelta en mil curvas en luz en azules mi alma es una serpiente blanca te elevas y me quitas el alma y acambio me das silencio y vapor de agua si tu respiras eres Dios si suspiras un demonio de amor" ("The beautiest roses burn under your foot and under the roses burns mi head involve in thousand curves in light in blues my soul is a white serpent you rise and substractme the soul and in exchange you give me silence and water's vapor if you breathe you're God if you suspire a demon of Love") Some days ago a friend was telling the wondrous that is to make the love listening Silvania, i haven't done it still but when i listened to them i always relation it with these sensations. Maybe is just my subjectivity inside. But i believe that inclusive their lyrics are sweet metaphoras about love and sex, about a SWEET PORNOGRAPHY. All you that love slowdive's sound so much, should listen this beauty, really should. Take care.

I've never thought of Labradford as being much like Slowdive at all, except for the use of copious amounts of reverb in the manner of _Just For A Day_. I don't know which of their albums you're thinking of, but the fact that they use keyboards and that the guitars still sound like guitars makes them a lot different. Their music sounds much more ominous too.

So here is the track listing -taken from a spanish zine, Spiral-: 01: Eesal 02: Ov : Locust mx 03: Ry I : Scorn mx 04: 3lc : Seefeel mx 05: ArAng : Scanner mx 06: Bengala 07: LBelm : Autechre mx 08: Arqueopteryx Most of the songs are from "En Cielo de Oceano": Ov = Oval, 3lc = Trilce, ArAng = Arcangel, LBelm = Un bosque en la memoria. And one from "Paisaje III": Ry I = Raymi I. The others are the new silvania's songs. The cover versions are supposed to be in radical diferent versions than they appeared on the silvania's discs. About the 3 new tracks the Spiral's writer says: "...now their soul has changed to the investigation, the search, and even an evident hedonist side that they're going to continue exploiting -see the new maxi "Galax Trax"-. I also believe that Mario and Coco (*) have learnt that is preferable to fascinate and to result interestings, juicys, unforgettables, to leave a trace more creative than sentimental." -(*): Mario and Coco are Silvania. Just to say that if you have a doubt about what i was telling you about silvania all the time, seefeel, autechre and the other great bands that appears on Delay Tambor help me to continue saying: You really should hear the Silvania's exquisite beauty!! You really should! Regards.

If you read the previous note regarding this, you remember that I said that _all messages sent to a Lysator-address_ (to the mailing list, to me, etc) will be _saved_ (though there will probably be problems with that too for an hour or two during the move) and distributed when everything is back up again. * So, either you stop sending mail to the mailing list or me for these few days, or you continue to send mail, hoping for the best. This is entirely up to you.

If it's a two song remix thingie then it must be the In Mind remixes. I LOVE this disc! I mean it's not normal slowdive stuff. In my mind (ha ha) these versions are much more interesting than the original version of In Mind. The second of the two mixes is simply beautiful. Get it. Or, if it's just the Alison 2 song promo then I'd say forget it. Those are the only 2 song singles i can think of by slowdive. aaron ------------------------- Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 12:02:03 +0500 (GMT+0500) From: loveless Subject: lyrics... > Has ANYONE heard anything about this brilliant trio since > the shaving tour...the 'waters' have been a little calm and > i'm curious to see if anyone has heard ANYTHING new?

I believe Neil is probably right about that. I received news that he is currently in Spain, working on their next album - though I don't know if Rachel and the rest of the band is with him or not. Hopefully, Rachel will post some news to the list soon. Something more (at least to me) interesting regarding Slowdive is that the soundtrack to the film "I'm The Elephant, U Are The Mouse" which you all probably know about, that was going to be released (& the film) ages ago, was actually never released (not the soundtrack, and not the film). The film has been shown at various small film festivals though (even one in northern Sweden!). _But_ now, the director tells me that he has recut the film - and it is ready for release, and with it, the Soundtrack too! For those of you who don't know about it - Neil Halstead wrote the music for the film, all original, inspired by the film. I'll post every piece of news I get about this to the list. In addition to this, Neil is also going to be working on the director's next film, called "Always There Baby" which they apparently will start shooting this fall. More news will follow... Sorry for being so quiet lately by the way - this list _does_ need some activity! //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Aug 1996 01:13:01 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: Lyrics Ok Tue, 30 Jul 1996, loveless wrote: > Hi everybody ! > well , i wanted to know if somebody can send me the Lyrics from the > Slowdive , Morningrise , Holding our Breath , 5ep , and Outside your room > , eps ...the system here are really slow in this days .

Sorry but I have to disagree. I followed a thread about Closedown on the 4AD-L list about a year ago and got my sister to find and buy it for me in Boston. But listening to it, in my ears, this is definitely not Slowdive. Perhaps somewhat like Slowdive around the time of Pygmalion, but IMHO I don't count that one as a true Slowdive release. More like "between Slowdive and Mojave 3" release. So now you all know - Slowdive for me is everything they released before the "5EP" EPs. :-) The closest I have have heard bands come to the Slowdive sound - comes from two bands, one is called "Bizarre" (from Estonia, though they don't sound like that today unfortunately) and the other is called "Aquadays" (from Sweden). None of these bands are signed, but have released demos and tapes. If anyone wants more information, let me know and I'll post it. //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ---------------------------- Date: Sat, 3 Aug 1996 03:52:34 +0200 (MET DST) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: re: Lyrics On Fri, 02 Aug 1996, larry@interlog.com (Dr Peaches Bartkowicz) wrote: >> hey are you feeling something new >> just watch the way > ^^^^ > > I've always thought this word was "rain"... You're absolutely right. I have several versions of the lyrics (from different people) and even though one claims that it is the original work straight from the band, it still has errors here and there, and didn't notice that one.
