Respect – Despair – Review

February 1, 1996

Spooky, orchestral pipe organ sounds come together with roaring guitars, and the result is something unique and powerful. Beautifully bizarre.

Replicants – Review

February 1, 1996

Replicants are part Tool, part Failure, and part Eye in Triangle. Their product is every great song you ever heard sent through the blender of time.

Spawn of Skarmageddon – Review

February 1, 1996

A pleasant surprise to both the ska newcomer and the diehard fan. It proves that ska is able to bend and stretch to include other influences.

Psychic TV – Trip Reset – Review

February 1, 1996

Slightly more gentle than what I’m used to with Genesis P-Orridge, with the exception of “Mother Jack (A Children’s Story)”. Trip Reset will straighten you out.

Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S. – Review

February 1, 1996

Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S. is a compilation of 13 surf bands doing all the hits of cloak and dagger. One of my favorite surf discs to come around in a long time.

P – Review

February 1, 1996

Any project that involves a partnership between Johnny Depp and Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes is bound to be weird, and, on that level, P doesn’t disappoint.

Nightfall – Athenian Echoes – Review

February 1, 1996

Sometimes they’re dizzyingly fast and use violins for extra percussion, at other times grinding and Gothic with eerie traditional Greek instrumentals mixed in.
