What's your problem? This post had nothing to do with you. If you must respond
why can't you do it with a little courtesy. There's really no need for your

I was listening to philip on the radio talking about Susudio.  He said
the only reason he did it was because there were records in the charts
of the genre of I Feel For You by Chaka Khan and he just knocked it out
to make a quick buck.  He deliberately copied I Feel For You,  while
regarding it itself as cheap trash pop.  Hardly the attitude of a sculptor
-more that of a second-hand-car salesman.

OST.

I think that's the name of the band who made the soundtrack to 
the movie "Scandal" ( about the Profumo affair in Britain ).

I think that's some of the most intelligent and sexy pop/funk

I saw Lush play live awhile ago (when they were touring with
Ride), and I don't believe that the concert was on tape back
then at least.  At one point some jerk launched himself onto
the stage and kissed the lead singer... she turned to the
band with a disgusted look and stuck her tounge out.  

If they were on tape, they did a great job of keeping up
with unexpected things like this without letting it show. 

On the other hand, I wouldn't exactly say that they (or
Ride) sounded all that good.  Both bands bored me after a
few songs.  Could be the problem was the sound system at the
club, though (the Edge in Palo Alto).  They had it cranked
criminally loud that night (I'm getting tired of going to
concerts where I need ear plugs to defend myself.  It
seems really dumb, and makes me reluctant to go back to the
place).  

(BTW, I've got a Lush LP I picked up used somewhere that
sounds like the same kind of music but with a male vocalist,
instead of the ethereal soprano they go in for these days.
Did the lead singer used to be a back-up vocalist?)

That's pretty funny...  When you think about it, "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the

	So you're saying that the scores to Batman, the Simpsons, and Tales from the Crypt are all exactly the same, huh? Tell me something, are you listening to the same music I am? Not only is the music diversified, it always fits in perfectly with the movie, show, etc, that the score is written for. Nobody can convey the exact emotions from a script onto music better than he can. He deserves any and all credit he gets.

	They are often described as similar to X with a funky bass.  
They have two albums and one EP out (all are excellent).  The group is
led by two female lead singers.  Mary's Danish mixes punk, funk and 
country-folk together into a startling combination.

I agree that it's definitely impossible to categorize their music!  Lots
of horns.  Lyrics vary from utterly pointless (they did the theme song for
"Weird Science," if you remember that one) to some rather harsh commentary.
Lots of literary references (I'm thinking of "1984" and "No Spill Blood,"
which refers to "Animal Farm").  LOTS of songs with 'death' or 'dead' in the
title! :-)

Elfman did the scores for "Batman" and "Dick Tracy."  Maybe "Darkman" as well,
but I can't remember.

Only if the band lets them. You're not really saying you believe a
band with the pulling power of Yes is controled by its manager? I
presume Yes prooduce on their own label, if not they easily could, so
the only remaining problem is distribution and many independent labels
manage quite well. 

tcw> What, is there a "Yes price mark-up" in your area or something?

No, but if the band were really not interested in the money then one
would expect a mark down. 

Or do you have evidence that Wakeman et-al made no money from the
Union game show?

[I was under the impression that Buford had explicitly said he did it
for the money, maybe that was the previous advertiser's wet dream].

I agree that The Cranes sound nothing like Curve, except both bands feature
female lead singers with heavenly voices.  The _Wings of Joy_ CD is much less
dense sounding than Curve; guitars take a back seat to haunting piano
progressions and interesting string sounds.  Its dark, ominous, sometimes
downright scary music, but at the same time pretty.

If you're looking for music more along the lines of Curve: first of all, check
out their three previous EPs.  I've heard _Blindfold_ and _Frozen_; I prefer
_Frozen_, though most critics seem to prefer _Blindfold_.  I forget the name
of the other one.
   While I like Curve a lot, Lush is by far my favorite group currently; they
are similar to Curve in that the music has a dense, jangly guitar texture, and
floaty, etherial female vocals; Lush is a bit less dancy, however, and their
songs vary a bit more; on their first full-length release _Gala_, about half
of the songs were medium-rocking tunes with beautiful melodies, and the other
half were leaning toward the thrash-side (while retaining the beautiful
melodies!!)  Their latest, _Spooky_  is a bit more mellow overall, but in my
opinion it is the better of the two.
    My Bloody Valentine is another group you may want to investigate if you are
into the pretty-female-vocal-mixed-with-powerful-rhythms-and-high-density-sound
 genre (known in some critical circles as "wombadelia").  I would suggest
starting with their latest, _Loveless_.  Along with the high density sound and
floaty vocals, there is a lot of bizarre but captivating use of the tremolo bar
 (A tremolo bar, in case you don't know, is used on a guitar so subtley or not-
so-subtley bend the notes being played.)  If you really like _Loveless_, check
out _Isn't Anything_.  It doesn't have the density, production, and layering
the _Loveless_ has, but it chock full of MBV's quirky genius.

Happy listening!

Rumor has it that Polygram is close to closing a deal to purchase
the Fantasy label. Fantasy owns substantial jazz and blues catalogues,
including Prestige, Riverside and Milestone. They also own the Stax 
catalogue, and the Creedence Clearwater Revival masters...

Thus dies yet another of the remaining significant indie labels. Polygram
will supposedly be paying a hundred million for the label, mostly
to get access to their vast jazz holdings...
