Natas – Cuidad de Brahman – Review

January 1, 2000

There’s an aura of Pink Floydian haze over this, a pensive kinda pained stroll that’s David Gilmour’s interpretation of blues.

Nebula – To the Center – Interview

January 1, 2000

An interview with singer/guitarist Eddie Glass and drummer Rubin Roman

Spirit Caravan – Dreamwheel – Review

January 1, 2000

A fully rounded drone slice of biker/doom that owes less to any specific than the general man vs. nature rock as rock push.

Mammoth Volume – Review

January 1, 2000

Like Black Sabbath’s “Planet Caravan,” a side of The Sabbath Show that gets down-played but is as emotionally-integrated into their “thing” as the stompass is.

Fireball Ministry – Ou est la Rock? – Review

January 1, 2000

A mid-tempo groove welde to smooth natural vocals and the abiliy to strap on the big kick drum/cowbell when the proceedings start to bog down (not too often).

Spirit Caravan – Jug Fulla Sun – Review

September 1, 1999

The sound is a fully rounded slice of drone biker/doom that owes less to anything specific than the general man vs. nature rock as rock push.

Unida – Dozer – The Best of Wayne-Gro – Review

September 1, 1999

Four tracks by Unida, a band which includes Sloburn/Kyuss singer John Garcia. Unida doesn’t have the greasy groove side as much as the bludgeoning groove side.

Bongzilla – Stash – Review

September 1, 1999

The vocals are grit ugly, kinda strangled, and aided and abetted by samples dealing with the noble herb, apparently the only thing worth living or fighting for.

Fatso Jetson – Toasted – Review

September 1, 1999

The quirks are streamlined a bit, more towards molten rock gouk than the previous platters’ tinge of Meat Puppet/Minutemen/Zoogz sidle motion allowed.

Dozer – Unida – Coming Down The Mountain – Review

September 1, 1999

Dozer aren’t quite as well-versed in or as traditionally ’70s rooted as Fu Manchu. Maybe they need to write a concept album about the life of a ’76 Camaro.
