Out Out – Finched – Review

March 1, 1998

Out Out’s Finched isn’t worth it.

Numb – Blood Meridian – Review

March 1, 1998

Pretty good in the intros, usually schizzing out or creeping up before settling into the usual distorted stompalongs. The album ends on a doom and gloom note.

Mentallo and the Fixer – Burnt Beyond Recognition – Review

March 1, 1998

Burnt Beyond Recognition could almost be used as a soundtrack to a techno-necro-sci-fi-hi-fi kinda thing. A corpse with a phaser.

In Strict Confidence – Collapse – Review

March 1, 1998

More creepy electronics, with rotting vocal cords grunting out the typical keywords, “destruction,” “blood,” “brothers kill each other,” etc. etc.

Download – Charlie’s Family – Review

March 1, 1998

You know it’s gonna be creepy, you know it’s gonna disturb you. Not made for dancing, more like unhealthy twitching.

Lords of Acid – Our Little Secret – Interview

March 1, 1998

An interview with Nikki van Lierop

Loop Guru – Amarita – Interview

March 1, 1998

An interview with Salman Gita (Sam Dodson)

To Rococo Rot – Veiculo – Review

March 1, 1998

These techno-krauts suit up with analog instruments, and mellow out. Minimalism reigns, and electronic umbrellas open up to shelter us from musical reality.

David Bowie – At the Orpheum – Review

March 1, 1998

Gone are the melodramatic posturings, the over-the-top inflections, the overdone stage settings. Bowie is being David, rather than some fantasy construct.

Keoki – Ego-Trip – Review

December 1, 1997

Running the line between self-indulgence and one hell of a party, Ego-Trip is an appropriate name.
