I saw the video, which was called "polyesterday" on alternative nation and I think it can be described as somewhere inbetween ambient techno and trip-hop. Hard to say exactly, 'cause it changed tempo and sound at least a couple of times. /Micke -------------------------------- Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 05:12:38 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: estonian tape?

Hey Sami, that's also something I was wondering about.. I haven't seen it yet, though I don't know where in the chain I'm at, so who knows how many people are before me? Who's sitting on the tape!? //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 05:13:42 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: Gus Gus ?

I've managed twice. Mail him at: alternative.nation@mtvne.com Yeah, and was I surprised! Gus Gus (from Iceland) "Polyesterday" from their new CD5 "Polyesterday", Circle (from Finland) "Valerian" from their new album "Zopalki" and Poor Rich Ones (from Norway) "Other Days" from something I don't know what it is called "Naivety's Star" (and of course, not to forget, Verve's "On Your Own") But anyway, Gus Gus ... well, if you read what I wrote about * Doris Days * a while ago on the list, that is exactly what Gus Gus' "Polyesterday" sounds like. Urban trip-hop/ambient style - really suggestive music, though I have to say that I like Doris Days better. They sound more.. hmm, what can I say, professional? But then again, I haven't heard any other songs by Gus Gus, so who knows? Maybe they are even better? //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) P.S. I have asked Alternative Nation to show stuff for as long as I can remember (I mean, even back in the 120 Minutes days) and they have _never_ showed anything I have requested...

(the last one is the best one - not as tame as the first, but a bit rougher, more guitars, more pleasant in my ears..) And I also have the Levi's Promo CD (!!) (on Stockholm Records) called "Speaker & friends" they gave away if you bought Levi's stuff for more than 500 SEK (last week at least) which has the following groups and tracks on it - ((!!) means that I'm a bit surprised about it by the way...) 1.

05:16:37 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: Gus Gus As a lot of people are talking about Gus Gus, I might as well post this far-from-ready thingy I've been working on... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * GUS GUS * from the 4AD signing of the band compiled, arranged, formatted and gathered by: Erik Soderstrom (chief@lysator.liu.se) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESENTATION The latest signing from 4AD, Gus Gus, are a collective of artists, musicians, filmakers, photographers, actors and more. The are from Reykjavik, Iceland, a city with a population of about 100,000. The collective has nine members, each playing a crucial point in all the group's actions. Their debut release on 4AD, an EP entitled "Polyesterday", is available on 12" (BAD6013) and CD (BAD6013CD). Gus Gus will also release a full-length album early next year on 4AD. STEPH -photographer -cinematographer -visual artist Runs Elf19, Reykjavik's finest purveyor of vinyl dance music (with DJ Agzilla). A unique mixture of backbeats and romance has made Steph Herr Legowitz's favorite DJ. He is a great admirer of neck warmers. DANIEL AGUST -singer -songwriter -actor Former ski-maniac and amateur sports freak. Has been in successful Icelandic bands for nearly a decade. Previous band Nydonsk broke up two years ago after eight years of piling up gold records. Since then he has performed in musicals and plays in the Icelandic National Theatre and City Theatre of Reykjavik. He has two albums by other artists and also lends his voice to cartoon voiceover work (including dubbing Top Cat's Benny into Icelandic). BIGGI THORARINSSON -musician -computer programmer Currently working on OZ Virtual, the 3-D internet browser. He discovered music late at age 16 when he instantly fell in love with Sylvester (and other Hi-NRG acts) which led him to Visage, Depeche Mode and Marc Almond. He is previously known for his work as half of underground ambient-house group T-World, which he formed in the late eighties with DJ Herr Legowitz. MAGNUS JONSSON -singer -songwriter -actor Magnus loves California and often performs onstage as a homosexual. In fact, he is a former drag queen. Few Icelandic actors have performed onstage as homosexuals more often. He is the former lead singer of sentimental rock band The Silvertones. He adores James Bond and was once brutally killed in a Hollywood viking B-movie. HERR LEGOWITZ -musician -DJ Also known as Maggi Lego, Herr is Iceland's most celebrated DJ. He is the owner of the country's largest vinyl record collection. A master of synth trading, he loves only his girlfriend more than his fast cars. Herr contributed the special remixing effort on "Cold Breath '79" from the Gus Gus EP "Polyesterday". HAFDIS HULD -singer -songwriter -actress -dancer Hafdis has been dancing, acting and singing onstage since the age of four, encouraged by her lorry driving parents from Kopavogur. She sang with several bands before Gus Gus (including hard rock band Shark Remover). She performs in theatre and film. She is loved and admired by the youth of her home town for being the most entertaining Sunday school teacher at the local church. SEFAN ARNI -filmaker -director -writer Sefan is also a glider pilot and a philosophy dropout. He makes videos and documentaries with his brother (also in Gus Gus) Siggi Kjartansson as the visual duo of Kjol & Anderson. Growing up in a print shop, he familiarised himself with graphic design and various photographic techniques. He discovered an untapped passion for acting during the shooting of the latest Gus Gus film "Polyesterday". SIGGI KJARTANSSON -filmaker -director -writer -songwriter Siggi has an eye for detail. He is a former breakdancing elementary school teacher and founded the multi award-winning film production company Kjol & Anderson with his brother Sefan. He is also a professional liar. Manchmal Gus Gus gut! BALDUR STEFANSSON -Director of Financial Arts (DFA) -manager -film producer Baldur is also a controversial activist and once Iceland's most promising young political candidate. He is the son of the director of the Icelandic National Theatre. He has tried desperately all his life not to become involved with any artistic activities, but failed, and is now in overdrive at the helm of Gus Gus. (written by Kjol & Anderson - 1996) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I) REGULAR RELEASES 1. Polyesterday (October ?, 1996) BAD 6013 - 12" (4AD) a) Polyesterday b) Gun (husmix) c) Polydistortion Notes: Gun appears on their Iceland-only released debut album. It is ------ filled with dirty funk guitar and techno rhythms. Voices about "Polyesterday" 12": "Gus Gus is BRILLIANT!! This band does ------ trip hop better than Tricky and Massive Attack combined...the song is catchy and poppy and deserves more than anything released on 4AD this year." 2. Polyesterday (October ?, 1996) BAD 6013 CD - CD5 (4AD) a) Polyesterday b) Cold Breath '79 (Crystallized) c) Late Polyesterday d) Polydistortion Notes: The title track appears in three forms on the disc. The first ------ track has entrancing beats, weird noises and loops - throw in a funky-sounding guitar and some borderline adult-contemp vocals. Track 3 is a tripped out remix of the first track - more suitable for the dance floor, and track 4 is an instrumental version. Track 2 has female vocals (male on the three others) described as "a female Bjork-meets-Portishead sort of approach", the beats are more subtle, the guitar is bassier (not funky). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (II) PROMOS 1. Chocolate (September ?, 1996) Gus 1 - 12" (???) a) Chocolate b) Chocolate (Techno) c) Barry (Grave) d) Cold Breath '79 (Craze) Notes: ???? ------ 2. Polydistortion (September ?, 1996) Gus 2 - 12" (???) a) Polydistortion b) Polyesterday c) Cold Breath '79 (Husmix) Notes: Polydistortion is a remix of Polyesterday, but bears little ------ relation to that track. It's a headtrip slow techno groove that goes on for about 15 minutes (the single versions are only 7.50 long) - and still seems too short. The other two tracks are Polyesterday itself, different from the LP version and probably the single version as well, and a very minmal mix of Cold Breath '79. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (III) HISTORY (kind of) Pre-4AD: 1) Their debut album was released on Iceland. September 1996 (and signed to 4AD): 1) Gus Gus promo 12" single "Chocolate" cat.no "Gus 1" was single of the month in Muzik magazine. 2) Gus Gus promo 12" single "Chocolate" cat.no "Gus 1" was number 5 in the UK DJ Returns chart. October 1996: 1) 4AD sends out huge promo postcards featuring a photo of the entire ensemble on the picture side, and some info about their release on the flipside. 2) Gus Gus CD5 single "Polyesterday" was reviewed in NME (first week of October). They didn't actually make much note of the music except that it was a rejoinder to Nirvana's "Polly" and was harrowing with emotive vocals. Mentioned the cover for the fact that it looked like a dead body. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 05:17:10 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Musikmagasinet this week Just a little reminder to watch this week's "Musikmagasinet" on ZTV where they talk about demo tapes, and about/with Petrol (those two look like they really are from Vasteras, and have Pandora as heroine.. heh heh). Anyway, it is pretty funny to see them take a demo that obviously no hard rock/hardcore/metal label would even think about to .. yes, such a label. What were they thinking? And also, to watch Per at MVG (A&R) say that "if a band is good live, then we might sign them", which is what he has been saying to bands as long as I can remember, but still almost never goes to any concerts the bands he has said that to arrange... Good thing they had Ola in the studio to say exactly the opposite though. And LNS.. well.. umm... //Erik (chief@lysator.liu.se) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Nov 1996 05:17:31 +0100 (MET) From: chief@lysator.liu.se Subject: Sin's Selected News [07-Nov-96] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scandinavian Indie SELECTED NEWS Scandinavian Indie November 7th, 1996 by Erik Soderstrom (chief@lysator.liu.se) "Remember where you heard it first" Contents: Cardigans, Cloudberry Jam, Daybehaviour, Doktor Kosmos, Penniless People of Bulgaria, Ray Wonder. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cardigans - (Trampolene) will bring both Popsicle and Eggstone to their gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, UK on November 20th so if you are there then, do not stay at home and do not sort your stamp collection!
