Tommy’s Darkling Thrush – Review

June 1, 1995

The kind of emotional rock that I can get into. Lots of things going on, texture that thickens a song to make it interesting after one listen.

Thought Junkie – Review

June 1, 1995

When these guys get supported and go into a decent studio, they’ll be able to compete with the MTV “Collective Soul” crowd.

The Verve – A Northern Soul – Review

June 1, 1995

Swirling, tempestuous psychedelia laden with starospheric atmospheres and a melancholic mood.

The Technical Jed – Review

June 1, 1995

This debut from The Technical Jed is actually a collection of obscure singles and compilation tracks. I enjoy it more every time I put it on.

The Most Sordid Pies – “Flotsam on the Water” / “Wedding Day” – Review

June 1, 1995

The Most Sordid Pies are capable of being an American Stone Roses or Oasis.

The Moors – Review

June 1, 1995

Finally! Good pagan music! A Dead Can Dance influence, full of crescent moons, glens, satyrs, nymphs, a cloudless night and a coven of thirteen. Beautiful.

The Pietasters – OoLooLoo – Review

June 1, 1995

I was disappointed with this new offering from these ska masters. Resident ska experts Stacey and Opie agree with me: Something is missing from OoLooLoo.

The Edsel Auctioneer – The Good Time Music of… – Review

June 1, 1995

Before Live came along, a similar approach worked rather well for U2. Stirring vocal harmonies, uplifting guitar melodies and hooks galore strung throughout.

The Allstonians – Go You! – Review

June 1, 1995

Skankin’ to the thrusting horns. These tunes are hot! The melodies loop and twist to get you on the dance floor.

Terminal Sect – thehumansconditioned – Review

June 1, 1995

This is not a trip for the faint-of-heart. They are as skilled in manipulating eerie, subtle melodies, and silence to oppose their powerful synths and beats.
