Final Cut – Atonement – Review

January 1, 1999

I was expecting an all-out riff picnic from this, but instead got a platter of deep, pulsing beats and basslines, sparse guitars, dark and distant vocals.

Swingin’ Utters – Five Lessons Learned – Review

January 1, 1999

Takes the best aspects of all their material, mixes it together and adds a musical scope that goes well beyond the trendy nods to ska or Irish folk music.

Dead Voices On Air – Piss Frond – Review

January 1, 1999

Because of Invisible, I can listen to gems like this. Piss Frond is a great record. Words are trite and don’t really convey anywhere near what’s here.

Luxt – Razing Eden – Review

November 1, 1998

This album’s not bad at all. I really enjoyed their first one and was just happy that they got better.

Hyperdex-1-Sect – Metachrome – Review

November 1, 1998

Metachrome has all the charm of late ’80s industrial. Unfortunately, the charm seems to wear off after a few songs and reminds me of a real bad night at a club.

November 1, 1998

SUM – SUM:1 – Review

November 1, 1998

Drum ‘n’ bass that doesn’t hit you over the head, but engulfs you in the mood and resets your internal clock. To call Sum’s music “trippy” cheapens it

Cradle of Filth – Cruelty and the Beast – Interview
