Monochrome – Collapse & Sever – Review

January 10, 2005

Victoria Lloyd’s (of Claire Voyant) smooth vocals offer a wonderful contrast to Clint Sand’s (of cut.rate.box) industrial/EBM/trip hop-drenched dance music.

Miss Kittin – I Com – Review

January 10, 2005

Miss Kittin & The Hacker’s First Album was a genre-defining disc. That genre, of course, is electroclash. I Com, her first solo album, is quite an achievement.

Alice Donut – Three Sisters – Review

January 10, 2005

Antona’s nasal emissions are annoying at times, but it allows comparisons to Jane’s Addiction with a sense of humor. More accurate is a groovier Minutemen.

January 10, 2005

Black Tape For A Blue Girl – Halo Star – Review

January 10, 2005

Swirling, moody, and introspective, Halo Star is what we have come to expect from cutting-edge group Black Tape For A Blue Girl, a longtime underground darling.

Informatik – Re: Vision – Review

January 10, 2005

Bathe in future pop rage. Another dark EBM/future pop album that dots the landscape of Metropolis Records. Tasty remixes by Assemblage 23, Funker Vogt, Iris.
