Outstanding! Thank you so very much for all of this. I've been aching to hear "Shaving the pavement" again. My tape was a door gift when I saw Scheer, Mojave 3 and Lush back in 96. I wore it out and a tape deck ultimately ate it. The Lush shares are nice as well, thank you. Thumbs up to Jonder for that last minute HNIA request - a solid, though almost out of place album from them. Warn likes to reinvent his "sound" every couple albums and this was part of the R'&B phase with Lovetta singing. I'm glad you included that bonus track, most of the remixes from this album are better than the album itself. Let me know if either of you are interested in more HNIA rarities, as I have quite a lot.
ReplyDeleteI picked the HNiA album. To be completely honest, I have never been a big fan, although I have listened to most of their output. Someday My Blues is one that I enjoy the most of what I have heard. Jonder has better taste in music, so he might be interested in some things you have to offer.
DeleteThanks to friends, I was able to secure a copy of Shaving. So glad I could fill your request.
Not true, I definitely don't have "better" taste in music! HNIA is one of those groups that I keep thinking I should get into one of these days. I would be very interested to know what each of you thinks is a good starting place for someone new to HNIA.
DeleteI kinda stopped paying attention to new music in the early to mid 90's when I got married and became a dad, so I missed out on a few things (like shoegaze, trip hop and all that Drag City stuff) almost entirely.
Well, I know Mooz is quite a fan of HNiA, so he would be the best to give any tips as to where to jump off with the band.
DeleteYeah, I do love this band. I checked and I've already posted 7 mixes focusing on their music.
DeleteHis Name Is Alive:
Livonia, Home is in your Head, Mouth by Mouth are the classic goth/shoegaze era.
Stars on ESP & Ft Lake are the evolution of that into an am radio worship style of pop.
Someday My Blues & Last Night are the Lovetta era that was mostly R&B
The Cloud Box is jazz and field recordings mostly.
Detrola, Xmmer, & The Eclipse are a return to the classic shoegaze/acoustic style but more pop/psychedelic than goth this time.
Tecuciztecatl and Patterns of Light are their own beast, like a mix of hard rock, psychedelic rock and classic rock jingles.
All the Mirrors, Return to Never & Hope is a Candle are all home recordings of guitar based ambient.
My vote for starting place albums are "Mouth By Mouth" as its my favorite and the most diverse. "King of Sweet" because its a beautiful album of fragmented recording blended together into some excellent tracks. Then the Time Stereo label albums like "Rare Tracks In The Snow" & "Emergency LP" because they feature some of their best work outside of 4AD. "The Dirt Eaters" 12" and Friendly Science 7" are easily my favorite two EPs from them. "Someday My Blues Will Cover The Earth" is a very strong album for that era. "Detrola" is pretty good for their newer era, and has some good re-recordings of older songs.
The "RMX's" and "Remixes" albums are highlights as well. As I mentioned the remixes of the Lovetta era are sometimes better than the album versions. And the dub versions on RMXs are top notch. "Detroit River" has some strong tracks as well including a couple from each of these remix albums.
Mooz, you are a star, my man. Thank you for taking the time to give myself, jonder, & others lingering here a lesson & suggestions about this long-running outfit. I have heard a bit of their material over the years, but don't think I ever heard the RMXs material. Sounds like where I ought to start, fan of Dub that I am.
DeleteThanks so much for your priceless assistance.
For anyone interested, here's the two remix albums, with a few additional stray tracks, and the Friendly Science 7".

Again, a lifesaver. I wanted to hear the RMX's release but couldn't find it anywhere, the voila. Thanks, Mooz for that & the others.
DeleteThanks the real mill! And the name check. I can't wait to hear this. I played a gig at some tiny record store in SF ... the Ophelias ... and Hugo Largo and Throwing opened up. We were on top of the world then with 'Mr. Rabbit' before the Replacements dood covered it ... I think I have the tape here ... I live in a tour bus still ... park where I want do what I want within the parameters of impermanance. I find the tape I'll bundle it up and send it here.
ReplyDeleteIf you find that tape, I'd love to hear it. Maybe a little Silver & Gold? Throw it on a Reuben sandwich. Thanks, brother. Keep on bussin'
DeleteLoving this series so much. Thanks for the Lush singles; definitely didn't have these in my collection until now.
ReplyDeleteFresh Lush, excellent. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteMagnificent! Nathan you are a first-rate virtuoso in my book with these masterful posts you do per your indubitable, ardent words. I know the feelin' obtaining something like a cassette comp for 'Shaving the pavement' as I used to do on my skateboard back then. Cheers, Beers & Kudos to you brother.
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to share, especially with a friend blogger such as yerself.
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could fill your request. A great deal of interest in that Blind Hearts EP. Thanks.
DeleteAnother thank you from this damp corner of Lancashire. I've saved your page and will be returning on as a regular a basis as i can manage. Nicely!
ReplyDeleteThe labels list on right has nearly everything I've shared listed there. Or if you don't see something, use the upper left top search. If the link is dead, let me know & I'll try to fix it if I have it still. Thanks for all your comments. Glad to have you aboard.
DeleteOh My! 4AD is one of my favourite places to go for collecting digitalised music. Thanks Nathan, I believe the term "Filling My Boots!" is in operation as I type...
ReplyDeleteThanks AJ. Smell ya later.
DeleteAmazeballs! Thanks a mil, NSS! I remember 'The Fat Skier' being good, but this is nothing short of great!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, FGW. When you asked about The Fat Skier, I was more than glad to share it with you & all. A really great taste of Throwing Muses.
