336.0. "|nEw WaVe TiTlEs|" by BLITZN::PALO (Rik @(oo)@ Palo) Sat Apr 26 1986 22:36

    
    How but some new wave titles...
    
    I bought the "a-ha, hunting high and low" disk,  quite a nice recording.
    Very good quality sound.  I heard ultravox was coming out with some
    new stuff too.  One of the best disks I've heard, though not
    necessarily new-wave, was the latest from euythmics.
    
    Having this little portable D-7 is great,  but am tiring of headphones.
    They really put 2-channel stereo into perspective when the musicians
    like to use phasors and stereo choruses and such, so by nature they
    tend to disrupt my work, although its quite entertaining at home when
    I'm not concentrating on anything but perhaps a glass of scotch or
    wine.  Can't wait to find a pair of those BOSE roommates.

    Not necessarily NuWave, I am very fond of some of these:
    
    Kate Bush		Hounds of Love
    Heaven 17		The Luxury Gap
    Psychadelic Furs	Mirror Moves
    
    I have the last one on vinyl and CD and what a difference!  (This
    was my benchmark for justification of purchase of a player)

     Try Newbury Comics in the Boston and Framingham area. They have
    a great selection of "import" CD's. The stores are located on Rte.
    30 at the Route 30 Mall, and on Newbury street in Boston.
    
     As for good titles, check out
    
    Echo and the Bunnymen - "Songs to Learn and Sing" (This includes
    			     the sigle: "Bring on the Dancing Horses)

    Newbury Comics (in Harv. sq. at least) frequently has $2 off sales

336.8Still Doing It Clean?PNEUMA::WILSONTue Aug 26 1986 10:027
    RE: Note 336.4
    
    Oh, yeah! "Echo and the Bunnymen" are great. Have all but one of
    their records ("Heaven Up Here"). 
    
    Are the Bunnymen still around? They must certainly be due for an
    album.
336.9Compact SNAP!PNEUMA::WILSONMon Sep 22 1986 09:0019
    I have a sneaking suspicion that the Bunnymen are defunct.
    
    Anyway, speaking of defunct, I picked up the Compact SNAP CD by
    the Jam. Sort of a best of The Jam CD containing 21 songs. What
    a bargain! Over 65 minutes of music.
    
    Songs include:
    			Eaton Rifles
    			Absolute Beginners
    			Start!
    			In the City
    			Strange Town
    
    and much more. All very catchy tunes that somehow eluded the American
    pop charts.
    
    Sorry to say there's slight hiss in most of the songs, but I find
    a lot of New Wave is like that. I can tolerate it because I enjoy
    New Wave music.
336.10"Snap!" - track list pleaseDECWET::THOMASA legend in his own lunchtimeFri Jun 12 1987 21:3513
    I have the LP version of Snap! and love it, except for the last
    few tracks which I positively loathe. Apparently those tracks (whose
    names I can't remember) were released on EPs towards the end of
    The Jam's existence.
    
    I would love to buy the CD since my LP is already badly scratched
    (I loaned it to somebody - silly me), but I know that some tracks
    are missing.
    
    Please please pretty please list all of the tracks on the CD so
    I can decide whether it's worth buying (if I can find it anywhere!)
    
    Thanks in advance ..... Mike

That makes sense.  I used to be a Jam fanatic and owned everything, including
the "Snap!" collection.  The vinyl version had a remix of "Funeral Pyre" and
the demo of "That's Entertainment".  I found both better than the previously
available versions, in terms of being cleaner mixes.

"Snap!" is one of the better anthologies on the market, in terms of packagaing,
song selection and sequencing.  For anyone into The Jam, it's a cheap 
alternative, even on CD, to hunting down all the rare 45's and 12" singles.  It
includes so many tracks that all but die-hard Jam fans should be happy with
this anthology alone (plus the final album, and possibly the live album).

336.14Re - Jam's "Snap!"DECWET::THOMASA legend in his own lunchtimeTue Jun 23 1987 01:0016
    Thanks for the track list. I believe there's a typo (either in .12
    or on your CD - where you say "Absolute Malice" it should read 2
    tracks entitled "Absolute Beginners" and "Town Called Malice". At
    least that's what it says on my LP.
    
    Unfortunately my least favourite tracks on the LP are also on the
    CD. They are the last 3 listed.
    
    Although there's no mention of it on the LP, "Smithers-Jones" is
    a totally different recording from the one on one of their other
    albums (the name escapes me). The Snap version (at least on the
    LP) was recorded with regular guitars etc., whereas the other version
    appears to have been recorded with violins etc. The words and melody
    are the same, but the Snap version is so much better (I think).
    
    Which version is on the CD?		.... Mike
336.15SingleMASTER::RDONAHUETue Jun 23 1987 10:404
    re: .14

    I believe the Snap version is the single version as opposed to the
    string version on the Setting Sons LP.
336.16What's Missing from "Compact Snap"?AQUA::ROSTFour strings are better than sixTue Jun 23 1987 12:216
    
    While everybody is on the subject of the Jam, what are the songs
    deleted from the CD of "Snap" and are they good enough to make it
    worth buying the Lp instead?
    
    
336.17The "missing" tracks on "Snap!"DECWET::THOMASA legend in his own lunchtimeWed Jun 24 1987 01:5624
    As requested, here's what is missing from the "Snap!" CD :
    
    Away From The Numbers
    Billy Hunt
    English Rose
    Mr. Clean
    The Butterfly Collector
    Thick As Thieves
    Man In The Corner Shop
    Tales From The Riverbank
    
    I happen to love every one of these, except English Rose. They are
    all available on various of the Jam's other LPs (I'm virtually
    certain).
    
    Although I already have the LP, I plan to get the CD version when
    I can find it, so that I can have a "forever" copy, and hope that 
    the rest of the albums come out on CD.
    
    My tape of the LP is the one I almost always take to play in the
    car, and I'm still not tired of it. So much energy, so much hate.
    I love it!

RE: .17

Gee, they left off my favourite tracks on the CD!  Those are the tracks it took 
me the longest to get tired of.

I'm a heretic for saying this, but my favourite Jam album is the final one (I
forget its title).  I felt the horns worked well with their beat sound.

    Two of the songs you listed as not being on Compact Snap! are *not*
    on other Jam LP's, but are only available on singles or EP's,
    specifically, "The Butterfly Collector" and "Tales From The Riverbank".

    re .21

    The statement you made in .17 was

>    They are all available on various of the Jam's other LPs.

    By this, I could only assume you meant that all the songs were
    available on LP's other than _Snap!_.  After all, you were talking
    about that album, and you did say *other* LP's.  What I was trying
    to say in .20 was that other than on _Snap!_, those songs are not
    available on other Jam LP's.

336.23Re: .22 .21 .17 etc. (Jam)DECWET::THOMASA legend in his own lunchtimeTue Jul 07 1987 19:124
    Yes, you're right. I had sort of lost track of where the discussion
    was going, and ended up replying in haste.

336.24PNEUMA::WILSONBack with the Lowlifes AgainThu Jul 09 1987 13:447
    I picked up the *Setting Sons* CD as an import and must admit the
    sound is very clean. 
    
    Did anyone buy the reduced price American pressing? 
    
    I'd like to know whether my extra $$$ were spent in vain.
    
336.25New Echo AlbumPNEUMA::WILSONBack with the Lowlifes AgainThu Jul 09 1987 13:4813
    In an earlier note I erroneously assumed that Echo and the Bunnymen
    are defunct.
    
    Not at all! They're appearing at Great Woods August 18 with New
    Order and Gene Loves Jezebel.
    
    Also, Echo has a new album coming out soon. I heard one song called
    "The Game" which I liked. 
    
    Has anyone heard any other material from this album? I know it's
    due out soon. 
    
    
336.26XTC - still great on GeffenMUSTNG::MGINGRASRoll Over, Chuck Berry!Thu Oct 15 1987 23:1132
    I noticed the band "XTC" mentioned elsewhere in this conference
    (note 759), but the discussion was limited to the presence (or
    non-presence) of a track off the SKYLARKING disc.
    
    Being a fan of XTC I bought this disc without hearing a single track
    in advance.  This band has evolved quite a bit since "Radios in
    Motion" and although they don't exhibit the same raw power I
    appreciated in earlier albums, they've developed an usual and beautiful
    style.  
    
    For those who haven't heard them and have the impression they're
    power rockers, that's changed drastically.  SKYLARKING is quite
    mellow and the band employs the best variety of instruments I've
    heard since the split of the Beatles.  They pay a great deal of
    attention to melody.  Many of the songs flow together without silent
    breaks and compliment each other well.
    
    Even with their super-clean production (produced by Todd Rundgren),
    though, they still qualify for semi-cult status.  Songs like "1000
    Umbrellas" with its chamber string orchestration are too unusual
    for radio airplay.
    
    I'm waiting patiently for domestic releases of "Big Express", "Mummer",
    "Black Sea" and some of the others.  I have an import copy of "English
    Settlement", which sounds about the same as the album in sound quality.
    The best thing about the import copy of this is that it contains
    some of the songs on the British double album release.  In the U.S.
    it was released as a single album and missed out on some good material.
    At over 60 minutes of great songs, though, the import is worth it.

336.27REGENT::SCHMIEDERFri Oct 16 1987 14:1022
XTC fans might like to know that ALL Dukes of Stratosphear material is available
on ONE CD!  That is, the "25 o'Clock" and "Psionic Psundance" LP's are combined
on a different-titled CD.

I bought the original "Skylarking".  "Mermaid Smiled" is my favourite track; why
did they choose that one to delete in favour of "Dear God"?  Why couldn't they 
simply have ADDED "Dear God"?  What cheapskates!

"English Settlement", once released domestically, better be the U.K. version! 
Of all the rock double-albums released since the White Album, this is just about
the ONLY one that I like almost all the way through.  In fact, there is only 
one song I don't care much for, and I don't DISLIKE it!

Instrumentation is varied, as on "Skylarking".  Shades of "Yes", "Emerson Lake 
& Palmer", "Genesis" abound, without the pomposity.  More like The Beatles if 
they had continued to progress along the lines established by "Sgt. Pepper".

Listened to New Order's "Substance" CD last night, and am glad I bought it.  I 
even like disc 2; sometimes the instrumentals are in fact better!

    It is available, but, come to think of it, it was tagged as an import
    ($19 US at Newbury Comics).  It has everything I wanted from XTC
    up until '85.  The sound is excellent, and the tunes are placed
    chronologically.

    Could someone who has "Compact XTC" list the songs on the disc?
    
336.31REGENT::SCHMIEDERMon Oct 19 1987 13:3414
"The Compact XTC" is too compact for my tastes.  I like all but a small 
handfull of the songs they've done from "Black Sea" onwards, and like a few on 
"Drums and Wires" as well.  "The Compact XTC" includes earlier material when 
Barry Andrews was still with the group, and that material nauseates me.

I purchased ABC's "How to Be a Zillionaire" in the cutout bins this weekend, 
and was EXTREMELY disappointed.  Also, Eurythmics' "1984".  This is the second 
time I've been burnt by a Eurythmics release (the first was an EP).  I thought 
I liked both groups (though I dislike the first big Eurythmics hit), but found 
both CD's dull, lifeless, plodding, nonmelodic, machine-like and otherwise 
boring.

336.37Sweet and Sour XTC Coming Soon!PNEUMA::WILSONHold the maya...Wed Dec 14 1988 10:4214
    XTC fans, take note...the group plans to release a new album in
    the Spring on '89. The tentative title is _Oranges and Lemons_.
    Todd Rundgren is *not* the producer...
    
    In the meantime, as far as "new music" goes, I've been listening
    to The Cure's _Staring at the Sea_ CD compilation, which contains
    the singles released from 1979 to 1984. I'm a new convert to The
    Cure's music (better late than never, right?). I have to admit this
    one took time to grow on me, but is it ever!

    Boy, no kidding!  I got a tape from a Cure-fanatic containing "Standing
    On A Beach" & "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me", and for the first 5 times
    (at least!  Don't ask me why I kept playing it, I don't know) I *hated*
    it.  Now it is without question one of my favorite tapes!
    
    I'm still a little hesitant to shell out big bucks for The Cure CD's,
    though.  Regarding "Staring at the Sea", can you give some more
    details (such as tracking time, which cuts are from which albums if
    listed, and/or if given time periods are different, etc.)?

    Anyone interested in getting some other CURE discs, check out "Happily
    ever after" at Lechmere's.  It has 2 albums on it, "Faith" and
    "seventeen seconds"  For UNDER SEVEN DOLLARS!
    
    Last night, they had about 4 copies left in the Framingham store.
    
    I must admit, these aren't my favorite Cure albums, but certainly
    worth $7.
    
    Also anyone just getting into the Cure (Kiss me**3, Staring at the
    sea [soundtrack of the video tape]) should try "Head on the door"
    or "Pornography"
    
    And if you ever have a chance to see them live. Please go.  I guarentee
    you have a great time!

    Take another 2 bucks off if they were on sale!

336.45New Sire CD SamplerPHAROS::WILSONI can&#039;t get used to this lifestyle.Wed Dec 28 1988 05:405
    Did Sire Records release another CD sampler recently? 
    
    What's on this one? (I know there are songs by the Mighty Lemon
    Drops and Soup Dragons; that's all...)
    
336.46Rank & File, Camper Van Beethoven, and The DickiesWEA::PURMALSomething profoundFri Dec 30 1988 11:2426
        I highly recommend the following CD's
    
    Rank and File's 1987 release on Rhino records.  This is my current
    favorite CD.  Rank and File has been refered to as a Cowpunk band.
    I note a touch of country in their songs, and I still like them
    even though I'm not that much of a fan of country and western music.
    Best song on the CD is Blackbook.
    
    "Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart" by Camper Van Beethoven.
    I picked this up based on my interest in the songs "Eye of Fatima"
    and "Turquoise Jewelry" and I am not disappointed.  It is my first
    Camper Van recording and I'm definately going to have to get some
    more.  The CD is full of good music, and the music isn't all similar
    in sound.  It sounds as if they like to try lots of different sounds.

    I really like The Dickies "Killer Klowns from Outer Space".  The
    CD is only 20 minutes long, but all the songs are great.  It's a
    fun disk and well worth the price to hear the standard circus
    caliope (sp?) music belted out on a guitar.  I've also seen "Stukas
    over Disneyland" out in the stores.
    
    Can anyone supply a review of the CD "If'n" by Firehose?  I know
    that I like "Sometimes" and "Honey Please", but I'm wondering if
    the rest of the CD is worth the bucks.  The CD is on the SST label.

    Re: THe question on Sires Samplers.
    
    I know they have Just Say Yes Sire's WInter Sampler Put out in 1987.
    Could someone list all of the Sire Samplers ? I've found them to
    be excellent ways to pick up new groups.

336.48Just Say YoVAXWRK::CRAIGWed Jan 11 1989 12:468
    
    I picked up "Just Say Yo" right before Christmas for $6.99.  I agree
    that it is a great way to listen to new bands.  This one has Ofra Haza,
    The Mighty Lemon Drops, Morrisey, Erasure, and a few bands that I had
    never heard of before.  Most of the songs are real good.  It was
    definitely a good deal for what I paid.

336.49"Staring At The Sea" or "Standing On A Beach"?MRFLEX::MILLERBush For President...Kate Bush!Sun Jan 29 1989 17:4636

                          -< Staring at the Sea CD  >-
    
    I'm confused!  This song-list sounded awfully familiar, so I went back
    to my copy of "Standing On A Beach (The Singles)" and low-and-behold
    every song (except the asterisk's) are on it only in a different order:
    
>     1	Killing an Arab
>     2	10:15 Saturday Night*
>     3	Boys Don't Cry
>     4	Jumping Someone Else's Train
>     5	A Forest
>     6	Play for Today*
>     7	Primary
>     8	Other Voices*
>     9	Charlotte Sometimes
>     10	The Hanging Garden
>     11 	Let's Go to Bed
>     12	The Walk
>     13	The Love Cats
>     14	The Caterpillar
>     15	In Between Days
>     16	Close to Me
>     17	A Night Like This*
>     
>     *Available only on compact disc
>     
>     The music on this CD is also the original soundtrack from the Cure
>     home video.                  
    
    So what's the difference?  Is one of 'em "live"?  Or is one a boot-leg
    of the other?
    
    Thanks,
