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.

Punk Rock Jukebox – Records

February 1, 1996

Twenty-three bands contribute one cover tune each of punk rock oldies that inspired them to creativity, or pure imitation, as the case may be.

Nick Lowe – Party of One – Review

February 1, 1996

This is the Nick Lowe country album. He does it better than most of the country crooners today; and he did it long before anyone ever heard of Garth Brooks.
