Autour de Lucie – Immobile – Review

April 1, 1998

The underlying textures are lush and well-woven to support the hypnotic melodies of Valerie Leuillot’s effortlessly ethereal, soothing vocals.

My So-Called Band – Review

March 1, 1998

Unfortunately, the uninspired muddling songwriting seems completely incongruous with Peigler’s non-committal vocal style.

Juliana Hatfield – Please Do Not Disturb – Review

March 1, 1998

This six song EP is a pleasant, although not too radical, departure from the “Spin the Bottle” type of alterna-pop Ms. Hatfield has graced us with recently.

Poptopia! ‘70s Power Pop – Review

December 1, 1997

People who like power pop probably like Cheap Trick, but when asked, they say they like Big Star. The bands selected are totally misrepresented here.

Letters to Cleo – Go! – Review

December 1, 1997

Although Go! does not quite capture the original vitality and rawness of the band’s sound, what it does is give us some incredibly sweet, catchy pop songs.

Fun – Review

November 1, 1997

Witt’s spastic acting is distracting, and although the love and despair between the two girls is almost believable, the movie communicates its point muddily.

Smash Mouth – Fush Yu Mang – Review

November 1, 1997

“Walkin’ On The Sun” is such a great tune. When I played Fush Yu Mang, I was surprised to find not one other song even remotely similar in style.

Size 14 – Review

October 1, 1997

Size 14 offers up some rockin’ guitar heavy goofy pop – reminiscent of Weezer or even Devo, while still touching upon some harder-edged influences.

Radar Bros. – Review

October 1, 1997

The Radar Bros. lead us through their labyrinth of apathy, depression, angst and sadness in a blur of rich, spacey, warm sound and it’s a very, very slow ride.

Jeremy Toback – Perfect Flux Thing – Review

October 1, 1997

Some kind of twisted Hootie/Dave Mathews Band/folk rock fantasy blown up into this huge, pathetic, unlistenable, blithering Robert Blye nightmare.
