Harriet the Spy – Review

September 1, 1996

The music starts with superficial hip-hop (the kind found only in dentist’s offices), but luckily progresses into a great exotica sound.

Sheila Chandra – A Bone Crone Drone – Review

September 1, 1996

Over a period of several minutes, she introduces and expresses what she hears in the drone, gently, smoothly, softly. She lets the drone fill most of the space.

Science Geek – #3 – Review

September 1, 1996

The ‘zine for people who dig the educational circuit. Comics, freak lists, love letters, telegrams, mispronounced words… A ‘zine for the perpetually curious.

TASM Lab – Thing And Nothing – Review

August 1, 1996

Jeff Till conceived Thing and Nothing “An Insanity Play in Four Parts and A Prologue” in the traditions of Zappa (musically) and William Gibson (conceptually).

Squirrel Nut Zippers – Hot – Review

August 1, 1996

Sultry, sexy, and oh so cool. Every song is a winner, from the blazing “Memphis Exorcism” to the rollicking “Flight of the Passing Fancy.”

Rasputina – Thanks for the Ether – Review

August 1, 1996

The interplay of three cellos on Thanks For The Ether is one of weaving, hypnotic voices, made all the more complex by the sweet voice floating over the top.

Palace Music – Arise Therefore – Review

August 1, 1996

In a completely nonchalant and morose way, Palace Music (pretty much completely Will Oldham) is a Neil Young Hawks and Doves-era meandering river of quietude.

Entropy Press – Review

August 1, 1996

“The Mental Episode,” is a large poster collage filled with quotes, rants, random music musings, and essays on the nature of the mind.

The Loungecore Experience – Review

June 1, 1996

These five discs focus more on a rock context, more of a guitar, bass drums, synth/theremin combo.

Super 5 Thor – Ford – Review

June 1, 1996

Taking a cue from Spiritualized and VU, they drift gently through a musical wonderland, not quite Valium rock, and not stoner music, but… calm.
