Lou Reed – Perfect Night Live In London – Review

November 1, 1998

Lou settles for an intimate, stripped-down, semi-acoustic approach on most of the songs, which works well with his atonal sing-speak.

Logical Nonsense – Soul Pollution – Review

November 1, 1998

Originally released in 1995 on New York’s Tee Pee, the sampling so evident on Expand the Hive is hidden beneath Soul Pollution’s more straightforward onslaught.

Kraftwelt – Retroish – Review

November 1, 1998

These four Denmark sequencer soldiers appear to have made it their ambition to keep the electronic styling of Kraftwerk alive and microchipping.

King Crimson – Absent Lovers – Review

November 1, 1998

Absent Lovers is a feast of musical prowess and catchy, complex songs. The recording and performance are virtually flawless and the liner notes are fascinating.

Thought Industry – Recruited To Do Good Deeds For The Devil – Review

November 1, 1998

I am very glad to have this. It answers many questions, fills many empty spaces, and allows TI and their fans to move forward with no payload.

The Truman Show – Review

November 1, 1998

So in The Truman Show, there’s no Mask. There’s no hiding. His whole life, every second of it, is a TV show. A hit TV show.

Katatonia – Discouraged Ones – Review

November 1, 1998

November 1, 1998

November 1, 1998

All the requisite jangliness and Sweetness (as in Matthew) without too much innovation or chance taking.

The Vindictives – Leave Home – Review

November 1, 1998

The ever-prolific Vindictives release yet another album on yet another label. Leave Home is a Ramones tribute recorded in a single day back in ’94.
