Lollita

[salbiez]

Anybody else out there think A R Kane's Lollita is the best non-CT Guthrie production? What else has he produced (apart from Felt's Primitive Painters ...)?

When was this released? It seems strangely absent from my AR Kane collection.

I think 1987 - 12" single with 2 other wonderful tracks which I've forgotten the name of - on 4AD - I have it at home so could look up details if you want.

There is a cover shot on the bellaunion.com/robin link that leesa directed me to. I also have the 12" of Primitive Painters by Felt (and, incidentally, a copy of Lowlife's Diminuendo that I had completely forgotten about until last night while trawling through my vinyl!)

Also, I think I need to reword what I said at the beginning of the thread - Lollita is the best track I've heard, but from the evidence I need to do a hell of a lot more listening! However, if anyone out there hasn't heard Lollita - it really is a must ... there is a really sublime moment where it mutates into what I can only describe as a glacial slab of almost white noise. I did a search on the forum on leesa's suggestion yesterday but couldn't find a previous mention of the track?

Sal - I definitely don't have this. Do you know if it's available on CD?

Here's some more details:

A.R. Kane: Lollita
12" 1987 UK (4AD Records; BAD 704)
Lollita
Sado-masochism Is A Must
Butterfly Collector

To be honest I've no idea about a CD release, but just did a quick Google check and couldn't find any info on this ...

[Baba O'Reilly]

Ta for looking Sal.

There's an AR Kane 'Remixes' CD so I'll see if it crops up on that.

[Jeek]

No, I don't think it's available on CD, though it's one of a number of deleted 4AD EPs that folks on the 4AD forum have been bugging jo (mojo on the CT forum) to either get re-released as a CDEP, or included on a comp of long out of print 4AD EPs.

this song freaking rules! thanks -- i hadn't pulled this record out fo the collection in a while. i'll drag it down tonight.....

coincidentally, two of A.R. Kane's albums were just rereleased by One Little Indian. you can read a review on PitchforkMedia (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/ar-kane/69-i.shtml).

here is a tantalizing snippet: " Though hugely influenced by the Cocteau Twins' mid-80s peak, 69 drew equally from dub's disregard for sonic structure, disappearing into distant echoes that strikingly predict the succulent Seefeel."

good mention Salbiez!

Also, I just remembered - the AR Kane & Colourbox track on the B-side of Pump Up the Volume is also v. cool (trying to find it ...) - just listened to the Lollita ep again, and your right postlibyan - Butterfly Collector is awesome.
