Chainsuck – Review

February 1, 1994

Mary Dee Reynolds’ lovely, calming voice soars over all of the infused techno pop. Imagine Kate Bush fronting Gene Loves Jezebel.

Cowboy Junkies – Pale Sun Crescent Moon – Review

February 1, 1994

Pale Sun, Crescent Moon is a mellow album. Sad, knowing vocals winding their way through countrified, low-key guitar, bass and drums.

Die Monster Die – Withdrawal Method – Review

February 1, 1994

Words are less important here than the quality of the singer’s voice. Alice Cohen can move from dreamy to furious, nymph to doomsayer, in the change of a chord.

Eugenius – Mary Queen of Scots – Review

February 1, 1994

Take Gene Loves Jezebel and mix that with Depeche Mode, R.E.M., Buffalo Tom, The Cure and Peter Murphy, and that will MAYBE kind of describe Eugenius.

Ex-Idols – Pill Popper – Review

February 1, 1994

Frantic beats and sneering vocals, mix in acoustic strumming, howls, screeches, mellow-man crooning, megaphoned schmaltz, and standard group shout choruses.

Machines of Loving Grace – Concentration – Review

February 1, 1994

The lucky 13 songs of Concentration rage with guitar-heavy metalcore, whisper dark somethings, and suck you in with pseudo-syrupy pop catchiness.

True Romance – Review

February 1, 1994

True Romance is an uproarious, gory, rollercoaster ride. It’s a heart warming, sexy, romantic comedy trapped in the body of an action movie.

454 Big Block – Review

February 1, 1994

With ex-members from notable bands as Wrecking Crew, Slaughter Shack, Eye for and Eye, and Mother of God, 454 Big Block possess big-bore, torquey attitude.

Barkmarket – Gimmick – Review

February 1, 1994

With mournful wailing amongst the singing, off kilter guitar riffage, head splattering drumming, and schizo lyrics, Barkmarket create cool ‘n queasy tuneage.

Medicine – The Buried Life – Review

February 1, 1994

Tranquil, sugar-coated vocals skimming across ragged, squawking guitars to tinny dance beats.
