Deadsy – Commencement – Review

January 1, 2000

Great, evocative stuff. Futuristic Goth, instead of that medieval, pipes in the woods & tribal drums stuff. Morbid Angel meets Eno. In Tron-land. Fantastic.

Moonshake – Remixes – Review

September 1, 1999

Too little, too late. A good album, Dirty And Divine songs remixed by the likes of Lucid, Robin Guthrie, and MAIN, but the original album was released in 1996.

Lords of Acid – Expand Your Head – Review

September 1, 1999

Among those involved in improving the songs are KMFDM, Critter, Chris Vrenna (ex-NIN), God Lives Underwater, and Frankie Bones. Not an essential album.

Music Hound Swing! – Review

September 1, 1999

Swing! doesn’t seem like it’s going for the novice, or neophyte, or faddish fan. It’s aiming for the stout of heart, the hardcore swing lover.

Electro Shock! – Review

September 1, 1999

They don’t interview Eno or Gary Neuman, but they do interview Madonna Wayne Gacy from Marilyn Manson.

Einsturzende Neubauten – Ende Neu – Review

June 1, 1999

What we have on Ende Neu is a kinder, gentler E.N.. This time around, a string section and a Hammond organ get mention.

The Chemical Brothers – Brothers Gonna Work It Out – Review

June 1, 1999

The beats are scattered from the dance hall boom to skittish jungle (and, yes, the “Block Rockin’ Beats”). This holds interest while showcasing mixing styles.

The Bowling Green – One Pound Note – Review

June 1, 1999

Birds do it. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it. Let’s do it. Let’s sample disco in an attempt to be funky.

Garbage Pail – Obituaries – Column

June 1, 1999

The Swing Revival was found last Tuesday, choked on its own silly, wide-brimmed hat.

Source Direct – Exorcise the Demons – Review

June 1, 1999

Drum’n’bass on a bad day. A modern techno nightmare, the soundtrack for a futuristic anime horror flick – one involving a lot of stalking and blood.
