Since nobody else cares, you horrible people. "In and Out" coming on my iTunes after an ultimately overblown Delgados/Dave Fridmann album = SALVATION

Don't count me in...

Hey, what about me? I used to be pretty damn crazy about Moev. Haven't heard them in years, though.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 12 February 2005 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

gee whiz. canada is gay.

...if this is to mean because we take it up the ass from the U.S. all the time,then ya,i guess we are,eh.

― william (william), Saturday, 12 February 2005 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

i am listening to in utero right now. i haven't listened to this album in, like 10 years. it's really, really good.

― Star Cauliflower (Star Cauliflower), Saturday, 12 February 2005 05:20 (twenty-one years ago)

speaking of old Nettwerk bands, was Hilt from Canada, too?

-- come on sock it to me (keph...), February 12th, 2005.

That's the one I had, too - with plaster-cast faces or some such thing in blue ink on the back. I can't remember what it was called and didn't like it so much. It sort of reminded me of Ex-Post Facto and that sort of thing.

― Pangolino again, Saturday, 12 February 2005 05:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes - I eventually got that one too when I realized I liked them a lot. It was a very beautiful front cover, blue with these white dots and some gold mixed in, I think. But I think they had a girl singer then or something. Didn't sound as good as the later stuff to me.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 12 February 2005 05:42 (twenty-one years ago)

as I understand it, they weren't so much on Nettwerk as they spawned Nettwerk.

but hey Ned, did you download that from our good man Noodles? I think I bought the original copy of that on ebay last year, and yes, probably from someone in Vancouver. I've got to like em, but they're a bit much at times.

girl singer= Sarah McLachlan guest vocals?

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 12 February 2005 05:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh doubtless. Do you know him? ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 12 February 2005 06:19 (twenty-one years ago)

was Hilt from Canada, too?
hilt consisted of :: david ogilvie,alan nelson,d.r. goettel,cevin key & don harrison. yes they were from van city.

― william (william), Saturday, 12 February 2005 06:29 (twenty-one years ago)

The first thing I thought about was this comp:

I can't elaborate, since I've been drinking. That's what Canadians do on cold nights, in order to keep warm.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 12 February 2005 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, i didn't realize Hilt were basically Skinny Puppy

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Saturday, 12 February 2005 07:08 (twenty-one years ago)

girl singer= Sarah McLachlan guest vocals?

No, I don't think so. I would have remembered that.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 12 February 2005 08:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone got "Yeah, Whatever" MP3ed? Howzabout "Say This To Me" by NEO A4?

― Tantrum (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 12 February 2005 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I get a Moev song stuck in my head once in a while.
It came out sometime around 82 to 85, and all I remember is one line:
"Why? I don't know why"
And it was this insidious, bouncy hooky tune. Anyone know the song of which I speak?

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Saturday, 12 February 2005 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

In 1989 I loved Moev to teeny tiny bits. In 2005 I can't recall a single note of the music produced under that moniker.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 12 February 2005 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Is NEO A4 on Netwerk as well? If so we might dig that out of the pile.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 12 February 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, listening to "In & Out" now and seeing a gothy teen in an alternate-universe John Hughes movie. How could the afford to hire Bono to sing on the chorus?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 12 February 2005 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I think NEO A4 were indeed on Nettwerk too. That's another act that you just never hear, or hear about, anymore...

― Tantrum (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 12 February 2005 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Not only is this ridiculously OTM, but it seems to be the story of my ILM life most of the time!

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 12 February 2005 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Duke Street records the inertnet says. Maybe somewhere on those old Spirit of Radio comps lying about used stores they'll have a single.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 12 February 2005 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, Duke Street. Home of Chalk Circle, no? This is becoming the Long-Forgotten Canuckian New Wave Acts thread.

― Tantrum (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 12 February 2005 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Always liked the songs I heard on the local (Windsor-based) "alternative" station, but I never picked up anything from them. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled the next time I'm scouring the used and bargain bins.

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Saturday, 12 February 2005 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Home to Jane Siberry.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 12 February 2005 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I just listened to the "Dead Time's Exploding Dream" comp ...

-- remember the days when Sarah McLachlan used to fit in amongst late-80's industrial? (a rhetorical question, since I know that all of you are the same age as me and do remember, but DAMN that feels like a LONG time ago now)

-- The Moev track ("Capital Heaven (Remix)") is really good

-- "I'm Going Straight To Heaven" by MC 900 Ft Jesus is still one of the greatest songs ever. I very clearly remember when this single was released and somehow that *doesn't* feel like a long time ago

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 12 February 2005 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Straight To Heaven, Yeah Whatever and Vox (Extended) are all residing under Moev incase you wanna take a look.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 12 February 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...

Some years ago I decided I wanted to collect all that 80s Nettwerk goodness. It's pretty easy to pick this stuff up, living in Canada as I do, although Skinny Puppy generally fetches outrageous sums.

But, Moev...I've got "Dusk and Desire," and it is sort of o.k. But I feel like selling it based solely on the awful artwork (thanks again SR Gilm0re).

Is there anything worth investigating further?
