Kumo – Kaminari – Review

September 1, 1998

Not only does Kumo hit your more straight-forward drum’n’bass sounds, but he also throws in experimental work along with some dabbling of hip-hop sounds.

John Wesley Harding – Awake – Review

September 1, 1998

It’s hard to imagine that one with a voice so reminiscent of Elvis Costello could make music that so… isn’t. John Wesley Harding’s Awake is a folk album.

James Iha – Let It Come Down – Review

September 1, 1998

A little gentleness can be pleasant, but too much of it can be lethal. James Iha’s new solo release unfortunately falls on the side of severe feline damage.

Hominy – Review

September 1, 1998

Free Verse – Access Denied – Review

September 1, 1998

As soon as the vocals kicked in, I was transported to a Pacific Northwest Women’s Perspective convention, with Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney moderating.

September 1, 1998

The number of chords on Shelf Life, remains low as the number of measures rises, also dropping levels of emotionality, originality, and je ne sais quoi.
