Agalloch – Pale Folklore – Review

September 1, 1999

A mixture of Goth rock and black metal vocals, occasional doomy plods, interspersed with wind-swept mountain views and staggering ballerina keyboard tinkles.

Dwarves – Lick It – Review

September 1, 1999

Plays like blacklight fractured genius. Part Nuggets adulation, a healthy dose of Cramps style un-repentant psychosis, all lathered with oozing sexual whatsis.

Dokken – Erase The Slate – Review

September 1, 1999

The production is inspiring and combative, guitars and drums bashing it out for supremacy, while the band figures out how to be rockers straddling old hair.

Discount – Love, Billy – Review

September 1, 1999

A five-song, 15-minute EP by a beloved female-fronted band covering Billy Bragg classics. Sound cool? In theory, yeah, but this EP didn’t need to be done.

Diesel Boy – Sofa King Cool – Review

September 1, 1999

The liner notes say this was recorded in SF during the rainy month of Februrary ’99, so that might be an explanation for why this is such an uninspired record.
