---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 19:04:23 -0700 (MST) From: Rushton <rushton@primenet.com> Subject: ES, Dean Garcia, Radiohead, Fab 95 picks..... >From: Ted Harms <tmharms@library.uwaterloo.ca> sez: >I'm just wondering if any (pseudo)audiophiles who have the CD (or any >other XTC recording that's made it onto CD) could comment on its sound >quality. It doesn't say that the Eng. Sett. CD has been re-mastered and I'm >wondering if the sound is fairly good or leans towards the 'muddy' side as >some CD's can if the recording wasn't remastered? I'm not audiophile, nor do I have a vinyl fetish, but I do feel that the US release on Geffen of ES on CD is rather cheap in all regards (as all of you who read my post in #2-58 ranting about the cheapness of David Geffen) - I have it on CD to have it on CD. The vinyl I still have - it's one of the few things I have left in that format - and I must admit that the vinyl, the double LP set from England, sounds better. Crisper, more depth, more punch, I can't put my finger on it. It sounds good, it just doesn't sound great like the LP. >From: 7IHd <ee92pmh@brunel.ac.uk> sez re Gang of Four's new album: > with bass from Dean Garcia (on the same couple of tracks)....... I should add that > I've never heard of most of these people. ;-) Dean Garcia used to be the bass player in Eurythmics, but I prefer him better in the late, great Curve - a sonic jewel of a band he had with singer Toni Halliday and others. Pick up "Doppelganger", "Cuckoo", or the EP compilation "Pubic Fruit" to see what I mean. >From: produce@magicnet.net (Arthur James Virgin) #1 fab pick of 95: >1) Radiohead "The Bends": Is there any doubt? Frightingly great songs with >production to match. There is no classification for this incredible five >piece. A must have! I keep hearing great thing after great thing about this album. Produced by John Leckie, isn't it? My sis saw them twice with REM over the summer...said one time they were awful and the next night absolutely outstanding. I can't get over that particularly annoying "Creep" song playing everywhere a couple years ago - I've read that Radiohead can't either - maybe that's a good sign! I'm bound to get this now..... Fave Raves I bought in 95 (not necessarily released in 95) Scott Walker - "Tilt" XTC - "BBC Radio One Live In Concert" Cocteau Twins - "Otherness" Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - "Mustt Mustt" Elastica - "Elastica" Culturemix with Bill Nelson Leftfield - "Leftism" Portishead - "Dummy" Tinty Music - "Stumbling Into Blindness" Van Morrison - "A Night in San Francisco" Cheers, Mark Rushton, author of the: Bill Nelson WWW site: http://www.primenet.com:80/~rushton/nelson.html
------------------------------ From: ZITTEL@aol.com Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 21:56:00 -0500 Subject: Brian Stevens Hello to all. I had a listen to a few XTC related items mentioned on past Chalkhills and thought I'd add my opinions. I just got the new Brian Stevens CD called 'Prettier Than You' that Dave Gregory plays guitar and keyboards on. I was not very impressed. In my opinion, the songwriting is not very strong and the melodies are not very memorable. I could not imagine myself playing this CD more than a couple of times. My biggest problem though is that the booklet does not say who plays what on each track. Four different people are listed as playing guitar so it is tough to figure out what part are Dave's. On a more positive note, I also got the CD by Giant Ant Farm called 'Fortune'. They do a nice cover of the Dukes song 'Shiny Cage'. What makes it kinda fun is that they use instruments like trombone, clarinet, accordian and upright bass to give it a much different sound. One of the interesting notes in the booklet (great packaging!) is that they say it costs them .066 cents per unit to include this cover song on the CD. Does anyone know if this is the standard amount an artist gets if his song is covered? The last thing I just heard was the various artist CD called 'Flieger, Flug 2' which is from Austria (thanks Klaus!). It features the band Der Eiserne Vorhang doing a song called 'Franzi' which is really a cover of Making Plans For Nigel. Some of the lyrics were re-written. The songwriting credit is given to Moulding/Fleischmann. It was originally released in 1982 and sounds like typical new wave pop of that era. Of course just when I think I have caught up on my purchases, the last Chalkhills mentions Icehouse doing a cover of Complicated Game. Does anyone know if this has been released in the U.S. yet?

Mike Keneally - Hat (+++ XTC Fan) YES YES YES YES YES!!!! Mike is absolutely amazing...his two albums (hat. and Boil That Dust Speck) are the best things I've heard in years. Buy these albums. In fact, I'm out the door in about twenty minutes to see him live in LA. Just wanted to chime. Aaron.
------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 1996 01:33:30 -0800 (PST) From: Steve Johnson <steve-j@teleport.com> Subject: English Settlement on CD ENGLISH SETTLEMENT wasn't re-mastered for CD (unless you count copying the analog(ue) master to a digital one), but the sound quality is quite excellent. The acoustic guitars and drums stand out a lot more to me on CD than on my vinyl copy.
------------------------------ Date: 13 Jan 96 05:39:24 EST From: Simon Sleightholm <101477.1611@compuserve.com> Subject: Radio Play, Some XTC snippets, XTC Related Band NAmes Hello Chalkhillers, The best UK radio show to catch XTC seems to be the Radio 1 Mark Radcliffe show 10-12pm - Mondays to Thursdays. Not only is the whole show an excellent place to hear some GREAT music but he often plays XTC. He seems to be a bit of a fan - recently on a show semi-devoted to cover versions he played XTC's All Along The Watchtower and proclaimed White Music to be one of the best debut albums ever. As a new subscriber I had a hunt around my noticeboards and desk drawers for any curious bits of XTC snippage and found these :- --- >From One Two Testing (around 1982) --- Review of Thompson Vocal Eliminator - VE1 (this device was intended to remove the vocal track from any recoding, leaving just the accompaniment...) "And on XTC's 'Senses Working Overtime' Andy Partridge's voice is removed except for a few brief seconds towards the end of the track where he suddenly says what sounds like "Striking me..." (sic). Then he's gone again. How significant. Perhaps it means he's really dead, struck by an assassin's knife...." (It's not quite Paul Is Dead is it? - Simon) --- >From NME's aged Bigmouth feature --- "Produce ourselves? It's almost impossible. How can three clowns in the falling apart car actually control the circus?" Andy "Red Nose" Partridge "What you can do with your guitar is nothing to compared to what you can do with your penis." Shock revelations from Andy Partridge "Suddenly you wake up one morning and it's like having an erection. If just sort of rises up in you and you just think 'I gotta make some music'." - Andy Partridge >From You magazine, amongst ten quotes on success. --- "Success is being a quote." - Andy Partridge --- >From VERY shortlived UK magazine LM - a review of Skylarking. Review format was one long summary and two "second opinions". --- Never in their long a distinguished career have XTC made a duff record. They've made a few mediocre ones (Mummer was a tad patchy and English Settlement rambled uncontrollably at times), but they've always managed to slip one or two glistening gems into each LP while keeping the quality control set high for all tracks. But despite their laudable attention to detail XTC have outlived their usefulness. When they perfected their distinctive and intricate blend of student pop (best highlighted on the classic Black Sea LP) they were already six or seven years out of date; now they're beginning to sound senile. Still, Skylarking is a good LP, and it's thematic approach is intruiging. The opener, Drowning In Summer's Cauldron (sic), bilows in on banks of clicking crickets and modulating synths, producing a perfect picture of a heady, brow-mopping July afternoon in the countryside. Just as you're about to drift off, the track segues effortlessly into Grass. Romantic rustic themes swirl and twirl as the song develops, finally fading into a reassertation of the opening cut. Pretty conceptual man. Ballet For A Rainy Day pulls us quickly into the autumnal glory, while 1000 Umbrellas shivers as the November heavens open, pouring discontent into a dying year. Season Cycle - a bit of a corker - questions the natural powers that govern our lives, and reinstaes the pastoral theme that dominates the LP's first side. Perhaps XTC should consider this one for thier next single. Side Two deals more directly with human experience. Earn Enough For Us tells of a young man's efforts to support his girl and his household, Big Day discusses the implications and complications of marriage, Another Satellite comments on the passing of years (sic), and dying is an overpowering, highly intimate view of our inevitable fate, provoked by the death of a loved one. Disturbing stuff. The album's highlight is The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul. XTC tackle an unfamiliar musical area in the boisterous stab at cool jazz, and come up trumps. It's probably one of their finest tracks EVER. Like all XTC albums Skylarking grows and improves with repeated plays. It could prove to be one of their biggest LPs to date. Get it 75%, Paul Strange XTC may be perennial misfits, but they make consistently interesting records; this time round it's pleasant soft-focus psychedelia, strongly reminiscent of mid-period Beatles. As ever, XTC have come up with a surefire comericial failure. 65%, Richard Lowe The first time I listened to this XTC album I checked several times to see if my Walkman batteries were flat. The musical style may be strictly for fans, but the album's strongest point is the lyrics. The song list gives an idea: In A Sacrificail Bonfire (sic), Dying, That's Really Super, Supergirl and so on. 65%, Mike Dunn. --- XTC related names for new bands? How about... --- "Animal And Panicking" from Great Fire "Girls Like That" from Braniac's Daughter "Held Together With Holes" from Earn Enough For Us "Bopsenamoymoymoy" from The Forgotten Language Of Light :-) --- New Video --- Any news on an update to Look Look the video compilation? ----- Sorry if this is a bit long, but I'm still new to all this 'net business. Great to see a thriving XTC fanbase out there, I was really beginning to think there was only me left. Hope some of this stuff is of interest to somebody. Simon Sleightholm 101477.1611@compuserve.com

Perhaps, but am I the only one who can sing Towers of London to Tracy Jacks? I don't know if Damon Albarn has namechecked XTC anywhere else but there was an interview in The List (Glasgow and Edinburgh's events guide) around the time of Parklife (I think) in which he specifically mentioned XTC as an influence (though he doesn't rate their more recent stuff). Thanks to the people who mailed me their favourite three albums, but as John M. Chamberlain realised, I'd need an advanced knowledge of statistics to make any sense of them.

I still like it, but I don't think it's any classic, really. Nice production from John Leckie though; I remember reading an interview with him around when this came out in which he wrote glowingly about XTC - said that the Dukes' sessions were his favourite with any band, ever. # From: Neil Oliver <NOLIVER@central.gvrd.bc.ca> # Subject: Eric Matthews # # My favourite CDs of 1995 (a poor year for pop culture in general): # 3.

(Email if preferred) # From: rbleeker@sybase.com (Robert Bleeker) # Subject: Try THIS! # # If you like XTC try these titles: # . The Stone Roses - Second Comming A friend of mine is a big fan - I hated this the first time he played it, but it seems to be a grower. The first album is good too, from what I can remember (and more instant). I'll probably end up getting them. A couple of other things: In the previous digest someone mentioned the High Llamas' "Gideon Gaye" as a good album but bemoaned it's lack of tunes; I'd tend to agree (for those who haven't come across this, there are several alternate arrangements of the same song, e.g "The Goat Looks On", "Taog Skool No" (yep, you guessed it, the same song backwards...) and "The Goat (Instrumental)". There's also "The Goat Strings" but off the top of my head I can't remember if that's related, but I think so. Anyway, it sounds like you'd like Sean O'Hagan's solo album "High Llamas" >from a year or two previously (confusing title, look under 'O'). Similar style, not as stringy, but more distinct songs; all in all a great album, I've been playing it a lot lately. Of course I can sit here and be all smug because I discovered the High Llamas before about 2 weeks before the album got reissued and they hit the charts... BTW, if anyone has any idea where I get hold of their first album "Santa Barbara", please email me. Also, I could be dreaming, but I think someone mentioned the Eddi Reader album... For those not in the know she was the singer with Fairground Attraction way back whenever, and also pops up doing a duet with Thomas Dolby on 'Cruel' on 'Astronauts & Heretics' (an album without which no collection is complete); well, for all that, I'd like to warn people off her solo album... I bought it when it came out and ended up returning it to the shop, it was so bad - apart from the 2 singles, all of the songs are completely dull - and I have a friend who did exactly the same, so it's not just me. Sure she has a great voice, but that's about it. Tread very carefully. Sorry about the lack of XTC content, but then, it's not as if they just released an album or something... _ |_)|_ *| | | )|| http://http2.brunel.ac.uk:8080/~ee92pmh/ ========

How can you possibly pick a favorite? There are too many excellent albums to choose from. What is the status of the new album? Anyone know? I have been trying to get a copy of the book XTC: Chalkhills.... Anyone know how I can get it? The bookstore can't seem to be ale to order it... Old discussion: Let Elvis C. record with the un-fab three. PMcC said that working with ED was the most like working with John. And his collaboration with EC resulted in some of the best stuff PMcC has put out in years. EC is also a major fave of mine. Later! (If I was to choose three tops, it would be Nonsuch, Skylarking, and English Settl. Worst: Big Express, White Music. I haven't heard Go2.)
------------------------------ From: Ewalther@eworld.com Date: Sun, 14 Jan 1996 14:51:11 -0800 Subject: Top 10? Top 3 & Stuff I can't think of ten good releases for '95; what a mediocre year! but I offer, in no particular order my top 4 or so: Bowie's Outside - Not for David but a reaffirmation of Eno's production genious. Brian, call Andy! Sonic Youth's Washing Machine - About as in your face as it gets. All Zappa re-issues - 'Nuff said! Ornette Coleman's Tone Dialling - If only all 60 plus cats were still this cool... An honourable mention to Ashley MacIsaac; a 20 yr old fiddler from Capre breton, Canada. his fusion of Maritime Celtic fiddling with classic grunge reflects the schizophrenia of all us Canucks! Everything elsw last year sounded so generic that I get the impression that we're living through another 1970's. Mark Fisher asked for XTC top three (only three? What about the rest?). My list would be ES, Black Sea and Mummer. i suppose it;s the evolution from electricity to accousticality that does it (plus Terry). I'll add D&W to the list just because it still gets me out of a chair and boogying 'round the living room! Pete ass about Explode Together (sub-titled 'The Dub Experiments'). It contains dub versions (remember when?) of various tunes from the Go2/Drums & Wires era plus other contemporary Andy ideas. Ted Harms asks re the sound of the ES CD. Sounds great to me - Jump right up and throw down the cash! I'm off to John Chamberlain's now to play 'rate the albums'.

From: Melissa Reaves <MREAVES@KENTVM.KENT.EDU>
Subject: Well Damn!
I've been listening to you lot rabbit on for long enough about this
"Blur" group. Now my friendly local Borders has to go and put their
latest on one of those devilish "listening stations" that get me in so
much financial trouble and I have to go and BUY the damn thing. Well I
haven't listened enough yet to know whether I'm hooked, but I can say
that in the immortal Blur vs Oasis war I finally have a side to be on.
Our friendly local so-called "alternative" station is kind enough to play
Oasis so I can say I'm not thrilled with them, but I do think I like
this Blur.
The other thing the damn listening station made me buy is called Rare on
Air Volume 2, live sessions from KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. Now I'd
never heard of this radio station being that they're in California and I'm
not, but I gave a listen and liked what I heard and bought it for the Cibo
Matto, Tanya Donnelly, MC 900 Foot Jesus and Cranberries tunes. When I got
it home, however, a further surprise awaited me. (Relph, this one's for
the discography.)
Track 9, recorded 1 December 1993 at the KCRW studio, is Aimee Mann singing
"I've Had It" with none other than our own Greggsy on guitar!! Quel trouve'!
I checked the Web discography first before posting this like a good girl and
didn't see it, but it did inspire a question.
Andy is listed on a couple of Thomas Dolby things (I remember Urges from 1981)
on, and I quote, "drums ('stick')"
What I'm wondering is whether he is actually on the drums or the Chapman
stick? "Stick" is just a funny way to refer to drums. "Sticks" plural I
could understand, but stick is indeed an instrument in itself. (Don't
fault me for questioning it, I don't have the Dolby disc myself. I'm just
wondering.) Can anyone shed any light?
So, scarecrows & skeletons, that was my grooooovy weekend. Wish me luck
with Blur. Here's hoping for a new release from our boys in 96, (but on
_their_ terms!)
"I'll get another job at night, but honest!"
--Melissa
PS How about scarecrows & skeletons for that band name?

To Whom it May Concern: Does anyone else have a CD copy of "Go 2"? You do? Good. Please enlighten me: does your CD have a few misspellings on the cover? (The most blatant are "themslves" and "adn".) What's going on? Was Dave Geffen to cheap to proofread? Also: I asked this question before, but am still wondering: why does the song order of my "Go 2" record not duplicate the song order on either the record cover or the CD? For example, my record sleeve says that side 1 is supposed to start out with "Mecannik (sp?) Dancing", but the first song on side 1 is "Beatown." Are they just trying to confuse me?

------------------------------ From: Richard Aaron Manfredi <manfredi@scf.usc.edu> Subject: Re: Blur and Band Names Date: Tue, 16 Jan 1996 17:22:44 -0800 (PST) The bottom line about Blur is this: They hve great musical talent, but they seem to be content to rest on their laurels instead of moving their music in new directions. Really, they haven't done anything new with their music since "Modern Life Is Rubbish", and the last two albums have basically been rehashes of that. As for band names, I've always thought that "The Difappointed" would be great, as long as it was spelled like that. Which reminds me of a funny story: When the CD single to "The Disappointed" was released, I was living in Fresno, CA, not exactly the epitome of high culture if you get my drift. I went into my local record store and asked to see their XTC catalouge. The guy working the counter had a Ned's Atomic Dustbin shirt on, so that should have been a sign. Anyway, he perks up and goes "Hey, we just got their new single in. Look, it's got a spelling error, so it should be worth something." Well, he was charging $20.00 for it, and I new I was getting ripped off, but I still bought it because it was the only place in town that had it. The confessed to not knowing who XTC were, and I don't think he cared too much. Just wondering if anyone else has an amusing story about ignorant record people. Richard Manfredi manfredi@usc.edu
------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 17:21:45 GMT From: jde@sun-server1.abingdon.geoquest.slb.com (Jon Eva) Subject: XTC on TV I just caught my first XTC video for nearly ten years (since The Laughing Prisoner). My local gym has about ten very large and very loud tvs spread around the room from which it broadcasts an MTV look-a-like station (VMS?). Usually the content is fairly crap, but last night they showed Mayor of Simpleton and made my week. I think I saw a goldfish labelled Terry the Fish flash on the screen(s) briefly, which surprised me as I thought Andy Partridge had been banned >from keeping any aquatic pets after the infamous "Rubber Shark" incident. Is this Terry the true inspiration behind Terry and the Lovemen? By the way, if anyone near Oxford wants to buy Testimonial Dinner, it was on sale at the new Virgin store last week for about eighteen pounds (ouch). Unfortunately I have already bought my copy via CDnow for even more than this.
