      Subject: the two 4ad samplers

To eliminate any further confusion between the
two most recent 4AD promo compilations, here are
complete descriptions of each.

Facing The Wrong Way
(hereafter FTWW, cat.no. FTWW1, 13 TRACKS)
Released in the UK only with a "buy one 4AD release
from the back catalogue and get FTWW free" deal at certain stores.
Digipak format, mostly pink and orange artwork showing a
wierd burst of worm-like objects. The CD itself comes in
two versions: plain orange, and a repeat of the design on the
front cover. There has also been a wide variation noted in the
how dark this second variety was printed. Design: Vaughan
Oliver / v23. Assistance: Kees Hubers. Photography: Jason Love.

...think I'm getting the hang of it
(hereafter TIGTHOI, cat.no.PRO-CD-7625, 9 TRACKS)
Released in the US only as a giveaway at The
Body Shop with a minimum purchase of $20 of
their typically overpriced soap/bath/purfume
related products. This is now finally available.
The CD comes in one of those cheap cardboard sleeves,
just like the No Balls sampler. The artwork is the
"coffee grounds covering a moldy orange" design. Design:
Vaughan Oliver at v23. Photography: Jason Love.

Since the tracklistings are not identical, here's
a breakdown of what's on what:

Scheer - Take You Anywhere                              [FTWW]
Scheer - Sometimes                                      [TIGTHOI]
Throwing Muses - Snakeface                              [FTWW]
Red House Painters - Summer Dress                       [FTWW]
Red House Painters - Cabezon                            [TIGTHOI]
Tarnation - The Well                                    [FTWW + TIGTHOI]
Air Miami - You Sweet Little Heartbreake                [FTWW]
Air Miami - Dolphin Expressway                          [TIGTHOI]
Mojave - Love Songs On The Radio                        [FTWW]
Belly - Super-Connected                                 [FTWW]
The Wolfgang Press - Christianity (Wicked Man Remix)    [FTWW + TIGTHOI]
Heidi Berry - Miracle (New Version)                     [FTWW + TIGTHOI]
Lisa Gerrard - Sanvean                                  [FTWW + TIGTHOI]
Liquorice - Cheap Cuts                                  [FTWW + TIGTHOI]
Kendra Smith - Valley Of The Morning Sun                [FTWW + TIGTHOI]
The Amps - Empty Glasses (4 track version)              [FTWW]

So obviously FTWW is the one to try to get-- big surprise,
it's the UK only release. Plus you don't have to buy
a ton of overpriced, pretentious soap.

Heard a bit of Otherness yesterday. I must say it sounds
exactly like Seefeel.
