Gus – The Progressive Science of Breeding Idiots for a Dumber Society – Review

May 1, 1995

can’t keep it inside. tearing at my skin. too many cigarettes. I didn’t mean to smack his head against the blacktop, he just got too close.

Six Finger Satellite – Machine Cuisine – Review

May 1, 1995

The RI boys have put down their guitars and headed for Moogs. What they’ve become is Kraftwerk for the ’90s. My new favorite band.

Minxus – Pabulum – Review

May 1, 1995

They create well-crafted songs with changes and flourishes. hey feel… like warm sandpaper (fine grain) when you take off your shoes on a summer’s day.

Hi Fi and the Roadburners – Fear City – Review

May 1, 1995

A hard, upbeat shuffle takes control of the sound, and turns it into a driving riff backed by guitar and bass. The blues holler with brick and glass throats.

Goober and the Peas – The Jet-Age Genius of… – Review

May 1, 1995

Goober and the Peas have a great thing going, mixing hillbilly demeanor with skewed rock ‘n’ roll, and strange lyrics.

Die Warzau – Engine – Review

April 1, 1995

Die Warzau had the good sense to mix live music in with samples, giving Engine the fullness it deserves.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – at the Middle East Cafe – Review

April 1, 1995

Unabashedly self-referencing, the Blues Explosion is one of the rawest forms of soul to appear in this decade.

The Borg – at Mobius – Review

April 1, 1995

A minimalist retro Brian Eno-ish rock with voice harmonizers and everything. Simple, with enough room (and reverb) to stimulate the brain.

Mortal Micronotz Tribute – Review

April 1, 1995

Each band has a definite personality, but instead of a random smorgasbord, the Micronotz’ tunes are the duct tape that hold the album together.

The Psyclone Rangers – The Devil May Care – Review

April 1, 1995

A faint odor of the beach lies under the rich music. Well-crafted, with melodies that resemble an Ant-lion’s den.
