The Luminaire, which recently
won the "UK
Live Venue of the Year"
at
the Music Week Awards and has
been Time Out's
"London Live Venue of
the Year" for two year's
running, has
been chosen to be the venue for
the 'T-Shirt' gig where entry
is free if
you arrive wearing a "From
Trash" T-Shirt. Admittance
will be on
a strictly 'first come, first
served' basis as tickets will
NOT be made
available in advance, but
tickets will be sold on the door
at 8.30pm
ONLY if there's still room
in the venue for more people.
So if you want
to go, the advice is to
buy a T-Shirt in advance and
get there early!
T-Shirts are still available
from either
Townsend Records
(http://www.townsend-records.co.uk/), Sister Ray
(http://www.sisterray.co.uk/) or Music Non Stop - full details as

Choose five songs for John and
Louis to perform
live in the UK...
John and Louis are looking to
perform five
songs (at The Luminaire on
Saturday the 24th of November,
2007) which
have been chosen
exclusively by members of the
Metamatic News
E-Mailing list. Everyone
on the list is able to put forward
their
choice of which five songs
they would most like to hear
(by simply replying
to this E-Mail) -
the votes will then be collated
and combined
and the five most
popular tracks will be included.
The intention
is for these songs to
ONLY be performed at this special
gig. So
make your sure that your
vote counts by requesting something
from
John's catalogue that you
thought you'd never hear performed
live and
make it a truly memorable
evening. The rules are quite
simple - you
must be a member of the
Metamatic News E-Mailing list
for your vote
to count and only one
vote (with your "top"
five songs)
per person.
*****
Metamatic Website exclusive :
a new section
from "The Quiet Man"...
The Metamatic Website has been
updated to
include a completely new
section from John's book "The
Quiet
Man", entitled "Colour
Comics
From Another World".
It's hoped that more sections
from "The
Quiet Man" will follow in
due course.

Two new collaboration albums
from Robin Guthrie
and Harold Budd...
Below is the press release and
full track-listing
for "After The
Night Falls" and "Before
The Day
Breaks".
Darla Records is proud to offer
a pair of
companion piece CDs by two
masters, Robin Guthrie and Harold
Budd. "After
The Night Falls" and
"Before The Day Breaks"
are not
ambient - both are instrumental,
absolutely beautiful and as emotionally
charged
as any previous work
from either artist. The pair
of albums complement
one another, each
track with its twin on the companion
piece,
the two conceived as
experiments in the dualities
of music and
emotion. As with all
classic recordings from the masters
the listener
desires repeated
listening to absorb their full
sonic implications.
This is soulful
music that allows one to find
that place
within where peace and
perspective are achieved. It
moves effortlessly
to erase the chatter
of modern life and inspire meditation
on
things important. It may
help the listener better see
their way forward.
Robin's trademark
guitar sound and Harold's signature
piano
sound first came together
when Harold collaborated with
Cocteau Twins
on "The Moon and the
Melodies" LP (4AD), in 1986.
The record
was as strikingly beautiful
as it was popular. In fact, it
was the romantic
recording of the
decade. Every young person in
the 80s made
love to it. Here again
Guthrie and Budd's signature
sounds are absolutely
made for each
other; in heaven. Actually, it
was Budd's
long-time collaborator
Brian Eno who brought Harold
and Robin together.
Budd's first record
was 1978's "Pavilion of
Dreams",
produced by Brian Eno. That
recording helped earn Budd the
unwanted title
"the Godfather of
Ambient Music". Budd and
Eno succeeded
that record in 1980 with the
follow-up to Eno's "Ambient
1 : Music
for Airports" -- "Ambient
2 :
The Plateaux of Mirror",
and collaborated
again to release "The
Pearl" in 1984. The three
Budd/Eno records
are cornerstones in the
canon of ambient music. Budd
went on to collaborate
with John Foxx,
Japan's David Sylvian, Public
Image bassist
Jah Wobble, Be-Bop Deluxe
guitarist Bill Nelson, XTC's
Andy Partridge,
and of course Cocteau
Twin Robin Guthrie. As Guitarist/Producer
of seminal band Cocteau
Twins, producer of absolute classic
masterpieces
from Chapterhouse,
Lush, A.R. Kane, and Felt, Robin's
influence
on pop music is
legendary. He wasn't part of
the Shoegaze
scene. He is the genre's
father. His production and collaboration
credits are long. After "The
Moon and the Melodies" Robin
worked
with Harold on his 1988 album
"The White Arcades".
He recently
wrote his first score and soundtrack
with Harold Budd for Gregg Araki's
"Mysterious
Skin". In addition to
releasing "Continental"
(Darla),
"Everlasting" (Darla),
and "Waiting
for Dawn" (Rocket Girl)
in 2006, Robin
has recently played on and
mixed tracks for Manual, Mahogany,
Alsace
Lorraine and Ulrich
Schnauss. Robin lives in France
with his
wife and child. Harold lives
in New Mexico with his wife and
child.
