Hi!
Thanks for your reply so quickly. I have no Idea what your service
offers does it cost money ect. I am a musician ,composer,
Producer,and owner of a small Independent record company(so small
we only have one album on our label to date):one is on the way. I
started listening to Daniel Lanois work with the U2 productions even
though it didn't occur to me that Lanois had produced them. Someone
gave me a copy of Acadie and I realy liked the haunting sound, so I
bought Beauty for wyona. But what has realy sold me on Daniel Lanois
is Wrecking Ball. I have been listening to Emmy Lou Harris for at least
23 years, and that production so different fromm anything before realy
moved me. It was like being fourteen again when your realy Idealistic
and the music you listen to is the most important issue in your life.I
would have never thought of Daniel Lanois and Emmy Lou Harris
working together but now that they have I hope it happens again.
I'mm Interested in Daniel Lanois Production Techniques so if you have
any insight to this it would be appreciated.
Is this subcription an Internet thing or a mail thing as I think your cost
might be quite high mailing me in H.K..
Take care

Hello all,
I wanted to write and let everyone know about something I heard
while listening to pulic radio while on my winter break. If I am
repeating anything here that people already know or if my information is
not too accurate then please forgive me.
The public radio station where I live is pretty contemporary and
they have a show called "the global village" which is quite a fine mix of
different world bands, styles of music and impressions of music. One day
there was an interview with the leader of a band from Louisiana talking
about the form of cajun music that they play and why it is not exactly
cajun and is more of a local style. The particular musician began to talk
about the origins of French culture into the area and how most of it came
from the acadians. At this word my ears of course popped up and I turned
the volume of the radio up so as not to miss anything. The musician began
to takl about how sometime in the late seventeenth/early to mid eighteenth
century(like I said, not exactly accurate so please forgive) a group of
French settlers left France and began their own colony in the new world
since they were displeased with France at the time. Anyway, the colonists
moved to an area around Labrador/Northern Maine and founded a town called
ACADIE. The people had a nice community and were content with their lives
but after France lost the French and Indian war the area came undr British
rule which was rather displeasing to the people of Acadie so they left and
headed south to Louisiana where they became known, no surprise, as
Acadians. I looked on one of my maps the other day and there is in fact a
town in the north eastern part of northern america called Acadia. Anyway,
I just thought someone out there muight eb interested. If anyone knows
anythiing more or if I have made any glaring mistakes please let me know.
Does anyone see any tie in between the album and the history? Take care
all.
Chris

Subject: Sling Blade
Don't believe anything you've seen on this newsletter about the
merits of the Sling Blade sound-track. I've had it for over a month and it
is right up there with his best efforts. Moody, floating, guitar-driven--a
kind of cross between Apollo 11(with Eno) and Wynona. It easily stands
alone as a Lanois album, not just another cut-and-paste sampler of oldies hits.
As far as I know, the live recording, Cool Water, is still
available from the cd-import service out of Milan, Italy. I have called it
"one of the greatest guitar records ever made." Top quality sound and
monumental performance.
Loved the Acadie music transcriptions. Keep up the good work,
Dave King
ps--How 'bout an insightful review of the Luscious Jackson?
