Yeah, kinda throws all the latter day Surfers recordings into a sorry light.
Too bad King forgot to play any drums on the upcoming album 'Weird
Revolution.' It's about 90% of what was going to be released a few years
back on Capitol as 'After the Astronaut' or 'The Last Astronaut,' depending
on who you ask, along with a couple of newer tracks. It's all pretty shaky
trip-hop and sample-a-delic stuff, with a slight patina of Paul's guitar
noise and a lot of sillier-than-usual rambling from Gibby. Funkier than the
old Jackofficers project, though - it's kinda like they really, really
wanted to recapture the hit they had with "Pepper" from the last album.
Pretty depressing, though I've still been listening to the advance CD a lot
in pure sad wonder.
But the first two EPs on Alternative Tentacles (never released on CD), the
first three albums on Touch and Go (now on Latino Bugger Veil), and most of
the fourth album as well - now THAT's pure Texas dementia. I think I read
somewhere that Paul really hates those albums and thinks they prove the band
couldn't play. I thought that had been the point...
And the live shows were dangerous like nothing I'd seen before or since.

What a guy, particularly when teamed with David Lynch.
I've got the 2 Twin Peaks, TV and movie soundtracks, the two Julie
Cruise albums, Floating into the Night and The Voice of Love,
and a WB video of the Industrial Suite, a wonderfully scary stage piece
featuring a lot of music and imagery from the Twin Peaks stuff, but with
it's own "story". Also called "The Dream of the Broken-Hearted", it
opens with a very sad phone conversation between Nicolas Cage and Laura
Dern, later repeated word for word by the biggest little man, Michael
Anderson... if you get a chance, check it out - the original
performance must have been an experience.
But what else of Angelo B should I be checking out? Anything else of
note with Mr Lynch? The other things I've heard are mostly
made-to-order soundtracks, good, but not close...
Glad the list is back

As far as Badalamenti's work with Lynch, the soundtrack to 'Wild at Heart'
is worth having - it's not all Badalamenti, but there's some good material
there, both in his stuff and the material by others. I always loved the
segue from the opening orchestral work, Richard Strauss's 'Im Abendrot,' to
thrash metal band Powermad's "Slaughterhouse." I also like having Chris
Issak's "Wicked Game" without having to own a Chris Issak album, and
Nicholas Cage's Elvis covers are certainly worth hearing. You also get
Them's "Baby Please Don't Go" and Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop a Lula." And of
course, 'Wild at Heart' was where Cage and Laura Dern were first paired in
the material that was reprised in Industrial Symphony No. 1, which is a
damned creepy piece of work. Finally, there's a darker, smokier version of
"Up in Flames" (included on Julee Cruise's 'The Voice of Love' and in the
Industrial Symphony) sung by Koko Taylor.
Badalamenti was always an important orchestrator and arranger (who worked
with, among others, Liza Minelli, Dusty Springfield, and the Pet Shop Boys).
After the success of 'Twin Peaks,' several people tapped him to grab a touch
of that Lynchian weirdness. Two collaborations stand out: I've not heard
either of these, but I read good things about his album with singer Tim
Booth from the British alt-pop band James, 'Booth and the Bad Angel.' And I
can only imagine that there must be some wonderful stuff on his album with
Marianne Faithful, 'Secret Life.'
More obviously tied to 'Twin Peaks,' there's also an Anthrax track, "Black
Lodge," which features Badalamenti as orchestrator, arranger and
keyboardist.
And Badalamenti has written plenty of scores that aren't anything like his
'Twin Peaks' work. One of these, 'City of Lost Children,' is especially
beautiful and well suited to the film.

Hmm, well, the Oxford American is not particularly known for practical

My two dangerous shows were: 1. Faust's North American debut where one band member was swinging a chainsaw very close to audience members (& yes it was real because he'd been cutting something). 2. Anybody remember Psychodrama? Their performance at the Destroy All Music festival featured one member in nothing but a diaper while the other broke LPs in half and then zipped them at the audience which could have easily "put somebody's eye out" among other things.
Of course Steve probably means psychically/mentally dangerous and is probably right there. Faust was mostly tedious and Psychodrama just silly.

BADALAMENTI's work with LYNCH is great. I have most of their works:
- - the 2 TWIN PEAKS albums (TV and movie soundtracks)
- - the 2 JULEE CRUISE albums
- - Wild at Heart
- - Lost Highway (Not all Badalamenti, but his songs are excellnet, and the
other non-BADALAMENTI songs are pretty good if you like the industrial
RAMMSTEIN, NIN thing)
- - Blue Velvet (his first score for a Lynch movie is excellent)
- - The UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD soundtrack (Wim Wnders' film) has one Julee
Cruise track produced by the Lynch/Badalamenti team. It's a cover of the
Elvis song Summer Kisses, Winter Tears. It's very good and the rest of the
album is enjoyable too.
I don't have THE STRAIGHT STORY soundtrack, but I saw the movie and the
music is very beautiful, not creepy, but it is very great.
I have the TIM BOOTH/BADALEMTNI collaboration, and although I think it's
pretty good, it's obviously a choice for JAMES fans, not BADALAMENTI's. I'm
glad I am both, and when I heard the CD I loved it, but I've read that
Badalamenti's fans don't think of it as necessary.
I have not heard Badalamenti's scores for non-Lynch films, although I
remember seeing the film COUSINS (Ted Danson, Isabella Rossellini) and the
main theme (played with different instruments throughout the movie (kind of
like the Blue Velvet theme)) was donde by Badalamenti and was excellent.
Don't know if a soundtrack exists.

Haven't yet seen the movie, but have the soundtrack. It is really very
good, though not terribly "Lynchian" in the sense of Badalamenti's Twin
Peaks stuff. Much more restrained, lots of acoustic guitar. Something I
play quite often when I'm with a diverse group of people.

When I have the time, I privately email errant zorn-list
posters who are using HTML and ask them to please use
plain ascii text instead. Your postings have been fine
up until May 8th (you can see I haven't been that diligent
lately given the other list problems I've been tackling :)
My guess is that around that date you (Jody) upgraded to a newer
version of the AOL software.
>... in fact, when i read my own postings to the Zorn list, they dont look

The reason they look okay to you is that your email
reader can render HTML email, so it looks "fine" to
you. Unfortunately, some email reading software
(for example, many Unix shell readers) do not render
HTML, so the reader has to view the raw HTML (like what
Herb Levy sent) which can be difficult to read,
and makes search the archives more difficult.
