Mad Daddys – Get Yer Ta Ta’s Out – Review

August 1, 1996

The real thing. They live the lives that we so wish we could, all night honky-tonks from the Lower East Side to the backwards backwoods of the steaming South.

Loop Guru – Amarita…All These and the Japanese Soup Warriors – Review

August 1, 1996

While retaining dance floor sensibilities, Loop Guru reach into their bag of tricks and come out with… the Middle East, North Africa, India.

Land Of The Loops – Bundle Of Joy – Review

August 1, 1996

Entirely groove-oriented, lots of eclectic and campy samples (hence the name), and an extensively happy, bouncy feel.

His Name Is Alive – Stars on ESP – Review

August 1, 1996

Stars on ESP is a wonderfully tedious and stupidly illuminating package of Sweet ‘n’ Low girlie vocals and surfing Beatles playing Fisher-Price equipment.

Hector Zazou – Harold Budd – Glyph – Review

August 1, 1996

Glistens with the authenticity of completion. France’s Hector Zazou has collaborated with Dead Can Dance’s Brendan Perry, Björk, and Bel Canto.

Harold Budd – Hector Zazou – Glyph – Review

August 1, 1996

Glistens with the authenticity of completion. America’s Harold Budd is best known for his work with Brian Eno and XTC’s Andy Partridge.

H2O – Review

August 1, 1996

Melodic hardcore with a sound that is both early D.C. and N.Y.C. Not a pale imitation, mind you, H2O actually do justice to this period.

Grave – Hating Life – Review

August 1, 1996

The guitar and drums are so heavy, mean, tuned-low, and brutal, that one will have no trouble recognizing this as an uncompromising death metal release.

Ghoti Hook – Sumo Surprise – Review

August 1, 1996

What Ghoti Hook lacks in originality is made up for in raw energy and punch. There are some great songs here.

George Clinton And P-Funk – TAPOAFOM – Review

August 1, 1996

Sounds to me like the Mothership’s on autopilot. Yeah, okay, George, “funk” sounds like “fuck,” we get it, move on.
