Goldie – Goldie.Co.UK – Review

March 22, 2002

It’s enjoyable to listen to, and depending on what volume you play it at, it can either excite the brain or act as bubbly background music.

Lupine Howl – The Carnivorous Lunar Activities of – Review

March 15, 2002

More chaotic than shoegazer, more psychedelic than straight rock, and a hell of a lot more interesting than anything Blur’s put out lately. Or Spiritualized.

Bill Laswell – Points of Order – Review

March 15, 2002

Sub-sonic bass grooves, meandering melodies, rappers with more than a passing SAT vocabulary, and more musicality than any one person should have a right to.

DJ Swamp – Never Is Now – Review

March 15, 2002

It may sound like this is some suburban-slasher-hip-hop-crap like ICP or somethin’, but this is better, and not just because this guy is Beck’s DJ.

The Crystal Method – Tweekend – Review

March 8, 2002

As the Chemical Brothers slip off into a dancefloor haze of texture and boom-boom, The Crystal Method holds strong as that bridge between rock and techno.

Einstürzende Neubauten – Strategies Against Architecture III: 1991-2001 – Review

March 1, 2002

Compiles the German experimentalist’s music from 1991 to 2001, essentially from Tabula Rasa to Silence is Sexy, including B-sides, live takes, and remixes.

Foetus – Blow – Review

March 1, 2002

Thirlwell has given the songs off Flow to other electro dudes and dudettes, and the results are very pleasing.

Gorillaz – at Avalon – Review

March 1, 2002

Gorillaz are much more entertaining than other live bands cuz you can do so much more with a cartoon. A fake band gives you so much freedom.

Ruby – Short-Staffed at the Gene Pool – Review

February 22, 2002

Full-voiced, sensual female vocals over electronic-based grooves may sound like it’s been done, but Ruby was there first.

Radiohead – Amnesiac – Review

February 22, 2002

OK, this is a tough one. Not because the album is difficult, which it is, but rather that Amnesiac is a re-telling of Kid A, so they haven’t broken much ground.
