Revelation Sampler Summer 1999 – Review

September 1, 1999

Definitely out to progress with each release, Revelation will no doubt continue their ten-year tradition of releasing the most diverse and excellent hardcore.

Jeff Dahl – All Trashed Up – Review

September 1, 1999

I always wanna like Dahl’s stuff, cuz he seems to have good instincts. The execution just misses more often than not.

Return of the Read Menace – Review

September 1, 1999

Honest Don’s teams up with AK Press for this 25-track, 75 minute CD of punk, rock (emo, indie, and singer/songwriter), and good, free-thinking sentiments.

James Murphy – Breeding the Machine – Review

September 1, 1999

Most of the wild riffery is lost amidst bad New Age jazz, and the while-my-guitar-gently-weeps beauty is more likely to inspire a yawn than a tear.

Relapse Sampler – Review

September 1, 1999

With a roster like Neurosis, Soilent Green, Nile, Incantation, Amorphis, Today Is The Day, and Dillinger Escape Plan, how can Relapse be anything but quality?

Punk-o-Rama 4 – Review

September 1, 1999

Iron Savior – Unification – Review

September 1, 1999

Kai Hansen and Pete Sielck together again: Peppy, intricate, sing-alongable power/classic heavy metal songs. Revel in immaculate German engineering.

Planetary Pebbles – Vol. 3 – SurfBeat behind the Iron Curtain – Review

Jimmy Eat World – Clarity – Interview

September 1, 1999

An interview with guitarists/vocalists Jim Adkins and Tom Linton

Of Things to Come – Review

September 1, 1999

A 14-song, 33 minute soundtrack to a snowboarding video and, for a change, not a bunch of songs you wonder how the hell anyone could ever snowboard to.
