NTM – Le Clash: Boss VS IV My People – Review April 19, 2002 If aggressive rap that never pulls punches is your thing, you’d be wiser to seek out NTM’s two-CD set entitled Le Clash: Boss VS IV My People.
MC Solaar – Cinquième As – Review April 19, 2002 MC Solaar could be considered the French LL Cool J. His songs are often radio friendly, yet there’re always edgier tracks to serve as counterpoint.
Kylie Minogue – Fever – Review April 19, 2002 Kylie Minogue follows up 2000’s often garish Light Years with Fever, another dance record. However, this one is not over-the-top disco cheese.
Robbie Williams – Swing When You’re Winning – Review April 19, 2002 A follow up to Sing When You’re Winning, this is a collection of swing/jazz/big band tunes entitled – wink, wink – Swing When You’re Winning.
Marie William – Tout un Monde – Review April 19, 2002 Sarah Brightman meets Enya meets Massive Attack. As remixed by Hex Hector.
Antique – Die For You – Review April 19, 2002 Infectious Nordic house beats meet enchanting traditional Greek guitars on the second album from the duo of Elena Paparizou and Nikos Panagiotidis.
Lit – Atomic – Review April 12, 2002 Lit are modern rock radio posterboys, compete with a string-assisted ballad and rebel-lite lyrics about drinking, making out with girls, and tattoos.
Stroke 9 – Rip It Off – Review April 12, 2002 “Kick Some Ass,” (in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) rules. I like when bands make fun of shithead fans/bands, especially when the dipshits still don’t get it.
Handsome Devil – Love and Kisses from the Underground – Review April 12, 2002 Handsome Devil have listened to the right bands, but they’re either not bright enough or not worldly enough to write anything better than bad covers.
