Gonkulator – Satan’s Burial Ground – Review April 1, 1998 Turn on the blender, shuffle your silverware drawer, and grunt like a pig for 40 minutes to achieve the same effect.
Frum the Hills – Review April 1, 1998 Underneath all the hillbilly de-lux, these frat-boy lookin’ fellers play some pretty mean proto-bluegrass mountain music.
Frontier – Heater – Review April 1, 1998 Frontier creates slow bass grooves with tight, crisp drums plopped into a swirling mass of ambient feedback and pedal effects.
Forest for the Trees – Review April 1, 1998 The guy’s nuts. Literally. That said, the album isn’t great. Certainly has an individual style, but so does most insanity.
Fluke – Risotto – Review April 1, 1998 All the tracks have a laid-back feel, the groove nestled deep in the pocket, lyrics (where applicable) whispered and lazily rhythmic.
Fatboy Slim – Better Living Through Chemistry – Review April 1, 1998 It’s danceable, it’s listenable, and he’s friends with the Dust Brothers. Not the best, but one to pick up anyway.
Edge of Sanity – Cryptic – Review April 1, 1998 Dan Swäno is producing and doing solo work instead of impressing us with shredding riffs, dazzling solos, and scalpel-sharp production in Edge of Sanity.
Dropkick Murphys – Do or Die – Review April 1, 1998 Combining a boisterous Irish pub vibe with working class punk rock, Dropkick Murphys have a style that’ll either work or flop miserably.
Dol-lop – Cryptic Audio Rag – Review April 1, 1998 Jazzy breaks, mellow beats, a DJ for the senses. Lots of space in this one, hypnotizing repetitions and mesmerizing melodies. Light one up, relax.
Dive – Snakedressed – Review April 1, 1998 Some of these electro-industrial tracks from Belgian-born Dirk Ivens and Ivan Iusco are easily accessible to the listener, and therefore, boring.
