Stereolab – The Groop Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music – Review

July 1, 1995

Electric as a thundershower, delicate as baby’s breath. Laetitia Sadier sings with a sprite-like voice in both French and English,

Stereolab – Peng! – Review

Stepmother Nature – Dane – Review

July 1, 1995

They sort of sound like R.E.M. or bands of that ilk. Not bad.

Splintered – Paper and Libedo – Review

July 1, 1995

Lo-Fi and spelled badly, I hope they’re making some archaic literary joke.

Space Needle – Voyager – Review

July 1, 1995

Comparable to the sedative of Spacemen 3 if they weren’t so experimental, suggestive of Front 242 with a distortion pedal, or a more introspective Stereolab.

Sonic Youth – Screaming Fields of Sonic Love – Review

July 1, 1995

The compilation takes us backward in time, slowly stripping the varnish off their sound as we approach their ’82 debut on the last of 17 tracks.

Skin Game – Review

July 1, 1995

Looming music, like foreshadowing in a Hitchcock film. Dark, powerful, impressive.

Analogue – “Average Luck Charm” – Review

June 1, 1995

It has the usual Lou Reed style mumbling, and would be fairly generic if not for some interesting stops and starts and surprise breaks.

Waiting Kates – Review

June 1, 1995

Structured pop with Nancy Wilson’s long lost twin singing. Easy to listen to.

Undertow – Review

June 1, 1995

This rock/alternative band attempt tries its best to rise above the masses. Give them time. They have a good start already.
