Tekkaman Blade II – Review

January 1, 1999

These videos, three in all with two 30-minute episodes each, surpass their predecessors in almost every respect.

System Of A Down – Review

January 1, 1999

System Of A Down buzzes despite a terrible name, a considerably exotic sound and a lyrical canon that is hard to resist.

Swirlies – Strictly East Coast Sneaky Flute Music – Review

January 1, 1999

Dub Pistols – Point Blank – Review

January 1, 1999

While the Dub Pistols have the trappings of an electronica-flavor-of-the-month (remember Daft Punk?), they’re not devoid of talent.
