Space Walk – A Salute to Ace Frehley – Review

September 1, 1996

Probably the first employment most of these has-beens have had, aside from fast-food and quick cash reunions for retarded, stuck-in-the-’80s suburban saps.

Halcion – Lemongrass – Review

September 1, 1996

Singer Dorit Chrysler could turn even the sternest heterosexual woman into a lesbian. She’s so damn cute that I hate her already for stealing my boyfriend.

Space Daze 2000 – Review

September 1, 1996

Cleopatra’s second epic space rock compilation succeeds both as an overview of a rich, esoteric history, and as something fun to listen to.

Girl Trouble – “The Track” / “Scorpio 9” – Review

September 1, 1996

With fast-track slides and broken glass harmonies, they carefully, yet recklessly, blend danger and longing for love into an in-your-face tune.

Sons And Daughters of this Savage Land – Review

September 1, 1996

A comp of the rudest hard punk you’ll find. Sixteen tracks of brutal scum rock by seven of the most gloriously depraved degenerate bands I can think of.

Gastr del Sol – Upgrade and Afterlife – Review

September 1, 1996

The key members of Mission of Burma and Squirrel Bait turned their backs on the heavy noise they stirred up in favor of quieter, more painterly explorations.

Shellac / Big’n / Brise-Glace / U.S. Maple – Sides 1-4 – Review

September 1, 1996

With its careful packaging, band selection, and overall concept, this indefinitely-continuing project thumbs its misshapen nose at the rest of the trib tribes.

Fleshcrawl – Bloodsoul – Review

September 1, 1996

Fleshcrawls’s third album, Bloodsoul, gives the listener punishing death one moment, and swamp-slow movements the next.

Punk Lost And Found – Review

September 1, 1996

The recording quality on the CD is quite awful, however. When it should be making you do the anarchist’s dance of joy, it gives you a migraine.

Pogo Strut Slam Swivel Mosh – Review

September 1, 1996

Proof positive that there is still a diverse and lively punk rock community in 1996. There are 25 bands and most of the tracks are previously unreleased.
