The Moors – with One Of Us, Holy Cow at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1996

The Moors started things with a gentle sound, quiet hymns and chants in ancient languages, guitars entwining with delay and chorus. Always the chorus.

Loveliescrushing – Xuvetyn – Review

September 1, 1996

These are some beautiful sound pieces that sound like a cross between some extended feedback loop via Experimental Audio Research with angelic voice drones.

Eerie Von – Mike Morance – Uneasy Listening – Review

September 1, 1996

A funhouse-gone-bad, B-movie horror soundtrack. I’m trying to figure out whether they’re serious or not.

Din_Fiv – Infinity – Review

September 1, 1996

Din_Fiv sounds almost like Læther Strip at times, leaving wide open spaces for little things to slip out, a keyboard line, a sample, a lyric…

Death Ride 69 – Screaming Down The Gravity Well – Review

September 1, 1996

It’s not often you see a female-fronted electro-industrial band as vicious as this one. It’s Beat Mistress from Thrill Kill Kult, and she’s one cool bitch.

Collide – Beneath The Skin – Review

September 1, 1996

Collide creates a sound that is at once mysterious and obvious. KaRIN’s voice soars above us, we feel the rocky earth in Statik’s cyber-industrial foundations.

One Of Us – with Holy Cow, The Moors at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1996

Signature bass drum rack booming, bass pumping, and John’s deep voice coming through strong and bold. He was as charismatic as ever, drawing all eyes to him.

Dead Can Dance – at Harborlights – Review

September 1, 1996

They had a wonderful mix of old and new material, and always the percussion. Five drummers across the stage, mixing a stew of rhythm.

Delirium – #3 – Review

August 1, 1996

Tucked between all the interviews are informative tidbits on the myth of Medusa and the Festival of Lammas. Also included is the ubiquitous Gothic poetry.

Black Moon – #5 – Review

August 1, 1996

A wonderful ‘zine, full of fiction, poetry, reviews and interviews with the top names in Goth/heavy/dark music. The fiction is what really makes this one move.
