"the sound of violence" isn't half as good as "ghost". you might want to try downpour. i think they're on dropbeat records. i listened to a little bit of it, and it struck me as similar to third eye foundation, but much noisier and dissonant. personally, i kind of liked junior varsity km. "taking care of you" is the perfect thing to listen to in the morning at work. some of the songs do tend to drag on a little too long, and tend to sound alike, but in a pleasant way. on a different note, i picked up "overcome by happiness" by the pernice brothers yesterday and i haven't stopped listening to it since. reminds me of a country-fied eric matthews. very, very nice. jason ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 09:51:15 -0500 From: erik Subject: Re: Re[4]: Endlessly Shiny...

Maaaaaan!!! That one just blew me away!!!! Phwoar!!!! Great CD... I think I'll be buying some more of their stuff pretty damn soon!!! get "Further" right now!! >So, what do Third Eye Foundation sound like?? Fabolous!!! I think that's the way Kevin Shields will like MBV to be nowadays. He -Matt Elliot- uses drum'n'bass beats and mix them with obscure moods+noises -ala FSA or Labradford-. Buy "Ghost" and you will not be dissapointed. By the way, Matt told me that Kevin S. would love they to work together. Matt also plays the guiter in Movietone. I am trying to get their e-mail / snail-mail address. Could anyone help me? >I'd agree with the statement about getting the "Switched On" first. Yes; and then "Emperor..." and then "Refried..." and then "Peng" and then...once you've begun with the groop you cannot stop. Get the whole set. I also agree that there are no connections between them and Slowdive. They are very closely inspired by Neu! -any fan out there?- Love Jorge ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 18:53:27 +0200 From: Jorge Palomar Subject: Re: third eye foundation and drum n bass >and are there any other drum n bass type artists that are this great?! i just tried junior varsity km which came highly recommended and i can't listen to it. suggestions?... I do like Squarepusher. I think "Feed me weird things" is a greeeaaat album. Maybe Plug, Photex and Roni Size are other d'n'b artists you'll enjoy, but if you want to take a huge risk try Alec Empire. Drum'n'bass? No: sound terrorism!

And I've found a curious feedback between Slowdive, them and Mojave 3. When I first heard "I could live in hope", their fist album, I thought they were like a naked version of Slowdive -accoustic guitars instead of effects-. Then Slowdive split up and Mojave 3 were born, and they sounded very similar to Low!

Switched on Stereolab is definently the most like My Bloody Valentine. It is a comp of all of their early eps, back when they were more of a guitar band. It really rules, I can never stop listening to it seeing as it is the kind of stereolab album I have always been looking for. erik At 01:35 PM 6/23/98 -0300, you wrote: >I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a good stereolab album to >start off with?

I completely agree.. I fell in love with Low after hearing their cover of Joy Division's (my all time fav band) song Transmission which is about the only cover of their's i can hear without bleeding. Infact, Low is playing a music festival here (halifax, nova scotia, canada) at the end of the summer and I can't wait. Hopefully their live sound comes close to their recorded sound... shaun ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 15:57:44 -0400 From: avalyn@chesco.com Subject: Re: Unidentified subject!

Yes, these prices are getting on my nerves. I understand people are willing to pay a lot for something rare, but they can go too far - I recently saw the results of a net auction and someone payed $40 for Morningrise - come on??? isn't Morningrise still in print or at least easily available?

Thanks for the note, I mean, I like Mojave 3 a lot, and would probably have started looking up Mazzy Star stuff in hope of finding the same music... Now I'll just look up their stuff 'cause I know people who like Mojave like them too. The result's the same, but I won't have any expectations to be ruined, or something. Why I'm taking this up is that I first heard of American Music Club in connection with Red House Painters. I loove RHP and was told 'yes-yes, it's like RHP, it's great.' Would have been great if it'd been as good, but it wasn't and I was somewhat upset for being turned up like this... heh ;) Siim ___________ siimk@ut.ee ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 21:46:25 EDT From: KingoGrief@aol.com Subject: Re: Slowdive-Low-Mojave3 feedback In a message dated 98-06-24 12:57:33 EDT, jorge writes: << Aren't you all in love with Low?
