The Gathering – A Sound Relief – Review

April 28, 2006

Expertly shot, 15-song show of mellow songs. This causes impatience, but is quelled by Anneke looking great in white top, white pants, and white sneakers.

Mafia – Review

May 23, 2004

This game has big dreams. It really wants to be a movie. Between the time you hit the start button at the title screen and the time you actually get some gameplay action, you could eat more than a few cannolis.

Blessed by the Night – The Dark Metal Compilation Vol. 1 – Review

June 4, 2001

Two full CDs of dark/black/Gothic/atmospheric metal with 28 mostly well-known purveyors of all that is dark, dismal and frighteningly sexy.

Heavenly Voices – Review

June 1, 1999

The Gathering’s sweetly atonal vocals (“You have forsaken me”) might be Mary’s own gentle mourning to God, for His treatment of her son.

The Gathering- How to Measure a Planet? – Review

April 1, 1999

The spiffy graphics support this abandonment of metal, and the cryptic waffle-minded lyrics sound great from said hummingbird throat.

Call on the Dark – 2 – Review

April 1, 1999
