Harmony Rockets – Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void – Review

November 1, 1995

Recalls the ambient sound experiments of Can in the cyclical rhythmic patterns with pieces of confusion played on top, the most dominant of which is a trumpet.

Means To An End: The Music of Joy Division – Review

November 1, 1995

nd is a beautifully haunting, haunted collection. Songs are treated with respect, but without the sycophantic reverence that makes most tribute albums bores.

Gumshoe – Too Deep For Your Daddy – Review

November 1, 1995

These gumshoes are investigating the inner workings of indie rock: Lazy voices, clouded thoughts, and messy guitars.

Fifth Annual Flipside Company Picnic… – Review

November 1, 1995

Eight bands on the Flipside label are recorded live at the company desert party. The bands who held my attention were Babyland, Kryptonite Nixon, Paper Tulips.

Gluestick – Review

November 1, 1995

The type of music left playing after a party has died. These guys have a likable sound though, a little like Candlebox.

Cough It Up: The Hair Ball Story – Review

November 1, 1995

Hairball has put out some very good bands. This compilation has them all together on one disc. From blues to pop to rock to booze-filled Neil Diamond covers.

Fudge Tunnel – In A Word – Review

November 1, 1995

One of the heaviest bands on one of the most shitty-sounding records you’ve ever heard! Compiles unreleased and hard-to-find songs into a smorgasbord of sludge.

It’s the Time of the Season – Fiction

November 1, 1995

Alone, I wallow in my own reality, my thoughts become tangible, and I drift along faded halls of introspection, the light before me, the darkness supporting me.

Whale – We Care – Review

November 1, 1995

I don’t love Whale so much as lust after them. The frontwoman of the threesome has an almost David Byrne-like charisma and a voluptuous lemon juice squeal.

Fledgling – Review

November 1, 1995

Singer/songwriter/guitar player Eileen Rose pushes Fledgling full-tilt through a straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll album.
