Subj:	Ride discography 

Dave Manning <[email protected]> asks about the titles of the 4 Ride EPs.
Since they've only made 3 that's a bit hard to answer..., but here is their
complete discography instead, for all of those interested:
(I've heard rumours about a new EP planned for release very soon, but it hasn't
 been released yet, has it??)

Some of the above are probably available on cassette too.
Please email me at [email protected] for additions/corrections.

    New EP is called (or includes a song called) 'Today'.
    Heard it on the (French) radio yesterday, so I suppose it must have
    been available for weeks. :-)
    
    Christophe. 

Christophe, I heard it was released on Monday...Ed

    Yes it was released on Monday and is called Today Forever, it includes
    tracks called Unfamiliar, Today, Sennen and Beneath.  Its more laid
    back or is that layed back (never any good at spelling) than some of
    there previous EPs but is excellent none the same.

    Well last night I went to see Ride at Kilburn National and after
    waiting three quarters of an hour for a friend to turn up and getting
    cold, bored and annoyed the evening improved.
    
    As we walked in Slowdive were onstage, what I caught of their set,
    about 20 minutes, was excellent running through the several of the
    tracks on their two EPs and others.  All the press hype about them
    seems to be true, they write beautiful, fragile songs which build as 
    they progress, the sound was wonderful and they made use of this fact, I
    can't wait to see them again.  They have been likened to the Cocteau
    Twins but I find them infinitely better and I do like alot of CTs
    stuff.
    
    Ride took the stage and as usual began with Polar Bear and finished
    with Seagull.  In between they covered all but Here & Now from the Fall
    ep, Chelsea Girl and Drive Blind from the Ride EP, Perfect Time and
    Like A Daydream from Play, all the tracks from the new Today Forever
    EP and from the album apart from those above, Vapour Trail, Decay, and A
    Different Place.  That says what they played but doesn't convey the
    atmosphere of the gig, it was magnificent, energy filled, powerful and
    loud yet still the delicacy of some of the songs came through.  I've
    seen Ride many times now but they always play well live, there is
    always a good atmosphere and they never seem to disappoint.

From the discography SMILE (US only) is just the RIDE EP and the PLAY EP.

    	Ed, I heard from guess who that Ride is opening for Lush this 
    	month at the Paradise.  :)
    
    	I wasn't planning on seeing Lush again but...
    
    	As for the two previous EPs becoming one "new" release didn't
    	Lush do something like that too? 
    
    	- Jim

Lush released  all  three  of their EPs on one album along with an extra mix
of  Scarlet  and  the  Abba cover. This is after I shelled out big bucks for
the imports.

Gotta dig those funky sleeves though!
Ed

    
    	I generally don't do this but since Nowhere on CD was less than
    	anyone of the 3 EPs I previously purchased, not to mention the extra 
    	tracks and inclusion of the EP Fall I just had to buy it.
    
    	I'll leave purchase of Smile to those who demand completness!
    
    	- Jim

    heard (saw) the new Ride single 'Unfamiliar' on the Snub repeat last
    night. It's excellent.
    
    mo'g

    Does anyone know whether it came into the charts??

    >>>> Does anyone know whether it came into the charts??
    
    Highest new entry, 14 I think.

    D���
    

    Must be on TOTP this week then.

    	For those of you on this side of the pond (which side is that, Jim?)
    	"Today Tomorrow" is now in the stores.  I just love those import
    	prices.  I'll probably end up picking up a future CD release like
    	"Nowhere" for less but still I'm glad to have it now.
    
    	- Jim

    Hey, Jim - I don't suppose there's any chance that the third and fourth
    EPs will be released on one CD in the U.S., just like the first and
    second made up the "Smile" release?  ;^)

    
    	Dougie,
    
    	Unless I've missed something they've only released 3 EPs, the first
    	two being combined on SMILE and the third on NOWHERE.  
    
    	- Jim

    Re -2
    
    Smile was supposed to be a "catch up" disc for the American market so
    its unlikely that the other EPs will make up another disc.
    
    Tim
    ---

    Re. -1, -2 - thanks for the inputs, Jim/Tim.  Dunno quite how I failed to 
    recognise that the U.S. "Nowhere" CD includes the four tracks from their 
    third EP.  Looks like all I'm missing now is the latest (fourth) EP!!

    
    	In addition to the 4 song import EP "Today Forever" there's also
    	a CD single that includes "Vapor Trail" from the "Nowhere" release
    	and 3 tracks off the new EP.  I forget which one isn't included on
    	the CD single.  For all you of you into completeness I picked up
    	the CD at Rocket Records in Saugus.  
    
    	- Jim

    
    	I hear there's a new 6 track live EP out but I haven't see it yet.
    
    	- Jim

Re: -1

We all miss Tim.
            ---

    
    	It's a 6 live track promo so I don't believe you'll see it too
    	widely available in the stores or at a bargain price.  I saw a
    	reference to it in Goldmine (the state side version of Record 
    	Collector) for $20.00.
    
    	- Jim

Jim, Nuggets in Kenmore Sq. has/had a promo of Kaliedescope with 6 live
songs...its excellent. I paid $6.

Ed

    
    	I've seen a couple listings of "Taste" as a one track promo thing
    	and I just saw a reference to it in the nearly_Boston conference
    	is this track off a new release?
    
    	- Jim

    Anyone got their new album yet - what's it like?
    
    Going to see them soon.
    
    
    				stuart.

    
    	No, but I've been trying to find it.  I hear some stores state side
    	have it but I have yet to see it anywhere.
    
    	- Jim

    I will probrably buy it at the weekend and post a review - as well as
    the new Sugarcubes lp who I think I'll buy a ticket for - they were
    excellent the last time I saw them.
    

    
    	I picked up the 12" but haven't listened to it yet.
    
    	- Jim

    I have heard LTAB as well as Chrome Waves - both probrably being their
    best trax released yet.
    
    				stuart

    
    	The B-side track "Grasshopper" gives new meaning to long drawn out
    	boring instrumentals.  It's not an example of one, it's great!
    
    	- Jim

    
    Just let me get this straight. Ride have the following:
    
    Albums: 'Nowhere' and 'Going blank again'
    E.P.'s: 'Fall', 'smile (combination of chelsea girl e.p. and play e.p.)
            and of course the 'Today forever'.
    
    Please tell me if there is a new 'Little shark' e.p. ????
    or is it just a rumour I heard.
    
    
    
    hawkesy.

    In the UK they are about to release Twisterella as a single, maybe this
    is to be called the Little Shark ep.
    
    Mikef
    
    PS - Going Blank Again - what a great album.

	Hi Hawkesy,

	It's sometimes handy to mention when a reply/note has been cross-
	posted, in another conference, i.e., your #706 note in RADIO_RADIO.
	
	- Jim

    Yeah, well working in DECdirect really screws you up at times... 
    
    %^&*($???!!!!!
    
    HaWkEsY.
    
    

    Being the perfectionist that I am and because I have a moment to
    spare...

    Hawkesy. 

    
    
    Ride are playing the same night as Public Enemy and Manic Street
    Preachers (I think)
    
    Greg...

    
    Greg,
    
    Was it you told me about this 'Little Shark' EP ?. Or are you getting
    confused with 'Today Forever' which has a picture of a shark on the
    cover.
    
    Ha\/\/kesy.
    
    P.S. Have you got the latest T-shirt yet ?

    
    Has anyone heard (like me) that Ride are playing down in Brighton
    sometime in March with the Charlatans? I would love to go, but I
    haven't been able to get either of the music weeklys lately...
    
    Cheers
    
    GrEg...
    

    Ride, supported by the Charlatans, Brighton Centre, 12 March.  tix
    12.00 pounds, box office 0273 202881.
    
    Is Brighton a long drive from Reading?
    
    Mikef

    
    not really....
    
    Cheers Mike
    
    GrEg...(*DB*)
    

    
    So Who is coming to the first real pop happening of 1993? Ride &
    Charlatans March 12th: I'll be there.
    
    Who else will
    
    GrEg...(*DB*)

If you have to wait until March 12 for the first rock happening of the year
it must be a sad year!

Mr. Old (who hasn't seen a gig yet this year, but will by March 12!)

    
    No, I've seen the Valley of the Dolls already and by March 12th I will
    have seen Radiohead and Dub Warriors, but RIDE & CHARLATANS must be two
    of my favourite bands so it will be a cracking 3 days out (Staying down
    there all weekend) yippee!
    
    Mr.Skint (who's only seen one so far)
    
    GrEg...(*DB*)

    If Ride are the happening thing of the year - what year is this ?  :-)
    
    Mark

    
    IMO, Stupid
    
    GrEg...:-)
    

    Going back some here - Rides second Lp was crap ,the title summed it up
    They did go blank!!- Thier first was brilliant - proberly the finest Lp i 
    have ever heard.
    And the new one, Carnival of Light, is pretty good too.
    Going blank again is an abortion of an LP, it should have just been
    released as EP's.
    
    Hope i havent upset anybody - but after the 1st Lp - the second was
    always going to be an anti climax - but it was worst than that, it
    was'nt even an an anti anything.
