Dust to Dust – Review

November 1, 1998

Like all Projekt albums, like all Steve Roach albums (this time with Roger King), Dust To Dust is slow, moody, and has a lot of space in it.

DJ Hardware – Soundshock Vol 2: The Trance Edition – Review

November 1, 1998

Trance can either be subtle and swaying or pulsing rhythmically, soothingly, like the consistent knocking of a radiator or the humming of a fan.

An indie movie about running away, life on the streets of New York, temptation, danger, and friendship, Wicked City is a timeless story, but with timely music.

Digger – The Promise of an Uncertain Future – Review

November 1, 1998

Blenda rock and punk, a kinda Goo Goo Dolls lead vocal (but less enunciated), a lot of group choruses, and a surprising amount of leads wandering throughout.

Graffic Traffic – Column

November 1, 1998

Naughty Bits #26 is as good as ever, and even better. This is the issue where BitchyBitch finally gets laid, and gets laid goooood.
