1.The inside artwork and group photo are also different from subsequent
pressings."Crown of Sorrow," includes backing vocals by

"Kiss of Peace" photograph from 1869.Disease's appearance on the Spud Goodman Show."Witches" sounds quite folky, "Solobatia" hits hard rock territory, and the rippling guitar at the start of "Violet" conjures up the Old West.While the group shifts gears frequently, the results are pretty cohesive and involving, and they get points for diversity.Just indulge the band, especially because this is a good album.Its nice to be surprised once in awhile.Cover art: Floating Tranquility by Eric Cooley.Insularia just might "lull you into a sleep of opiated dreams..."Disease: Eric Cooley formed the band during the summer of 1990 after dropping his classes at the nearby University of Washington, realizing music was an obsession that could not be kept solely as a hobby.Steve Knouse and then vocalist Dara Rosenwasser were brought in.LP ("Healing Anne") Foundation
(Germany)
Heavenly Voices Vol.Fortune His Sleep, released in late 1995.Los Angeles (Troubadour) and San Francisco.Tracks from various venues in Seattle and elsewhere along with "anomalies" and unreleased material.Cooley starts to get attention paid to his beloved group.Seattle band and the press kit grew extensively.Does Seattle make you feel more at ease than other places you've played live?Dara Rosenwasser: In retrospect, being on stage is always such a release, a rapture if you will.Seattle is a comfortable city to play in.The traveling and "on tour" shows we've done always throw us for a loop......Please girls, can you find sympathy here?We're a big dysfunctional family living in a seasonally depressed city.But on the road it's different, you're traveling and the whole focus of your existence is getting to the next city, or club or whatever, so you feel more of that particular "role" than usual.Dara: Not enough as of yet.Eric: A little here and there.We need to tour more and are currently in the early stages of a full US tour for this summer.What has it been like living here during the grunge explosion?Almost every interview question from those days centered around being a "Seattle" band...Seattle, it's like "oh you poor, suffering artist...We have it much better here than most cities.Josh Furman: Well, if we had much attention as we wanted everyone would be sick of us by now!Both Joshua and I were brought up under the Jewish faith, and I'll let him fill you in on the rest.What is the status on your next studio project?Eric: We are currently in the process of "testing the water" with some majors, but we'll see what that yields.We've been contacted before, but we don't subscribe to the "Cinderella complex" many bands have with being signed by a major label...The next studio CD will definitely be our best work ever, and I can honestly say that based on the recent songs we've performed live.We've been really spoiled with Ivy with the last three CD's, and now we're getting a taste of what it's really like to "shop" our music to bigger labels."Ashes are Burning" (Renaissance, an unheralded band).Can you give us an idea of what songs or bands you might like to cover in the future?Renaissance was (and is), and that they were in many ways the early seventies equivalent of like, Dead Can Dance.Dara: I recently received a Shawn Colvin tape from a customer at work, he thought I might like "Polaroid" a credible song, but I was thinking more along the lines of "Tangerine" or "Good Morning Heartache."Big band era would suit my voice, and our music, more appropriately.Dara doing "Parlez Moi D'Amour" quite well.Every group, sooner or later, who has proven their capable of writing good music, wants to expand their fanbase, and we're no exception, but we are cautious of letting go of our freedoms...I've heard some rather gruesome tales about bands who get sucked into the major label machinery...Your music has this beautiful, balanced, peaceful quality.Eric: That's a great question.Love Spirals Downwards, who stayed with us when they played Seattle...Our music is created from a fair degree of chaos though, and you'd be surprised how often we, argue about the silliest things."Goth" than say, Mazzy Star or the Cranes or whatever.Some cite the artwork on the album covers and flyers as suggesting we're darker than thou, which is admittedly my doing, as I am obsessed by morose images and states of decay and transition.The cover of the live album the weathervane of this wonderful old horsebarn next to a river, built in 1903, about to be paved over and become a strip mall or industrial park...Eric: I construct melodies on the bass, play some guitar (a total of three songs on the new album and Dara and I wrote all the lyrics.How would you describe your music?Dara: our music at this point should be accessible.It's great to know people out there enjoy the music.Dara: I remember it standing out from the other albums; the weather was nice, which doesn't happen often in Seattle...Dara: Actually, you're right and you're wrong.Who are your musical influences?Do you do any vocal exercises before you sing or protect your voice in any way?Dara: I smoke, drink and vomit.I'm not sure how I keep my high range, but for all vocalists I think it comes naturally and you know your limitations...How have shows been in the past?This time we're going all over the US in the fall.It's worked as a good weeding out process for certain people.This question will most likely show up near the beginning of the interview in my zine, but I just thought of it now!Eric: I became obsessed with music and felt a need to offer Seattle a sound that no one else was doing or doing poorly.I'm obsessed with music and forming a band that includes all my passions; artwork and graphics, writing, playing music, and working together.I'm lucky Dara and I met, because this wouldn't have happened without her...Dara: How sweet of you to say...Would you want to be in the mainstream or do you have other goals?What I like about this band is how we have kept going at a very "indie" level, but things keep getting better every year..Our music is like a treasure chest; you never quite know how much...What bands do you listen to now?Are there any UK bands that you like?Dara: Tarnation, a band from Italy called Ordo Equitum Solis, Legendary Pink Dots, Swans
Eric: bands from the UK?Dara: because you played it over and over and over.Nothing against Hope but it was a little excessive.Eric: No more than your little CD's you play over and over...Eric: Have you heard of Maxine?They were written up in Melody maker several times about 6 years ago.No, but really "Mirands Beautiful Dream."Eric: I read all the time, so: Book: "Memoirs of a Beatnik" by Dianne Di Prima..Magazine: "Adbusters" is a great parody of consumerism and megacorporate idiocy.Sangria" I'm deeply passionate about Mexican culture since I was born in South America (Panama).Eric: "Music is in the air all around us.Musicians don't create it; they pull it out of the air and put it in their instrument.If you empty yourself out, it can come into you.It's like taking a shower.Just let it wash over you, without worrying where the water had been before."Dara: Juliet Binoche, Mr.Buster Keaton
Type of food?Eric: Coffee, fruit juice and beer.If you could score the soundtrack for any film, what would it be?Bells Ring, Mazzy Star

21.Have you visited other countries or US states?What were your impressions?Do you think the Internet is going 'revolutionize' how you promote your music, i.Eric: You mean the evil robots.Dara: I'm scared already...Disease have played 100+ live performances since their inception.North By Northwest '97, Bumbershoot Arts Festival, and Folklife Festival '97 (under the name Memorium), and the King Theater.The song "Wallow" from the album Fortune His Sleep was used in a Memorial Day documentary on a Delaware PBS affiliate station in 1995.Ethnomusicology senior (UW) Joshua Furman lends his drumming talents to The Specters.Live keyboardist John Clough fronts Shadow Light.Live flautist Charlotte Sather is a composition major at WWU.Memorium Jenny Foster plays Celtic harp with Jeremy Enigk.Eric Cooley and Dara Rosenwasser
