My question: how does "Ardor" compare to the > lovely "Ever"? How odd. I too picked up "Ever" on a whim for $1.99 and promptly fell in love. Just like Gary, I figured that--being on Projekt--it couldn't be all that bad and was pleasantly suprised by the lack of obvious goth trappings. I have since also found "Ardor" for $6.00 and it's quite good as well. Just like everybody else, I tend to favor the first recording I hear by a band, but Ardor is really, really good. I would say it was a tad less electronic than Ever, with a bigger emphasis on the vocals. I think a couple of the songs might even be duets (anyone?) How does the first record compare to these two? Anybody seen them live?

I got mine this morning for the Houston, TX show! Can't wait. It was kind of funny, they were selling SPICE GIRLS tickets the same time. Still can't believe that. At least it wasn't hanson tickets. Although, I do like the Industrial mix of MMMMBop. Just kidding.

It is a weird remix that's for sure, but still - it's pretty cool IMO. Very different from the original - spaced out, and the repetitive "can you feel" part (three or so of the six minutes) is hypnotic. I'm not sure if I like the ultra-disted guitar though - my ears bleed listening to it. :) The Danny Saber remix is extremely close to the original version on the other hand. //Erik ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 May 1998 10:24:23 PDT From: "john kupchik" Subject: beach song/take me down I was wondering, nay, PRAYING that someone on this list has the beach song/take me down 7". i desperately NEED to hear this! Would anyone be kind enough to tape it for me if i sent them the tape and postage and all that? I could also tape some rare stuff for you and we could do a sort of bootleg trade, i suppose. i have everything else slowdive has put out, my bloody valentine's "ecstacy and wine" album, a video bootleg of windy&carl, bowery electric and E.A.R. ( from a concert in pitts,penn in july 1996), and a bunch of other stuff. anyone at all interested PLEASE e-mail me privately. (i don't sound too desperate, do i?) warm regards, john ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 May 1998 13:44:44 EDT From: ALTONBARNS Subject: Eternal - Glass Arcade Hi I have a CD copy of GLASS ARCADE (SARAH501CD) featuring: ETERNAL - Sleep ETERNAL - Breath ETERNAL was CHRISTIAN SAVILLS band before SLOWDIVE....You can see where the Slowdive sound came from.

All I know about Drop 19s is that they're American and after first hearing them I tried in vain for ages to find the release containing the song I'd heard ... Maybe it was Winona - I dunno? Anyway, I really liked it; though I heard something from a later release which wasn't as good ... Sorry not to be able to add much to this; but hopefully there is someone who can contribute more specific info about the once promising band :-) cheers --Michael ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 May 1998 23:11:35 +0000 From: Brian Burgher Subject: Re: drop nineteens the drop nineteens had an ep that came from that albulm called your aquarium I have it on tape.I also owned national coma but that was a really baaaaad albulm.poor follow up to deleware.seeing your message was like a blast from the past I haven't listened to deleware in 2 years.anyway the ep includes :1.my aquarium(second time around) 2.nausea 3.movie 4.mandy 5.my aquarium (albulm version) Is this stuff hard to find now.

As far as other members, I have no idea what they're doing. But the Drop19s as a band haven't been together for many years.
