February 2, 2004

Generic title aside, this sets the controls for the center of the universe, which is where you want ’em set when Nebula is at the helm.

Ima Robot – Review

February 2, 2004

Ima Robot mix elements of art-rock, pop, and New Wave (think David Bowie and Devo) with post-punk energy and infectious electronic beats.

Ghost Parade – Dying Breed – Review

February 2, 2004

Brooding modern alt-rock with sprinkles of Goth and darkwave. Lead singer Autumn’s vocals a sonic kaleidoscope of David Bowie, David Byrne, and Peter Murphy.

Leaves – Breath – Review

February 2, 2004
