Perfume Tree – Feeler – Review

November 1, 1998

Lush soundscapes with heavenly vocals gently stirred in.

NEWT – -273C – Review

November 1, 1998

Too light to be industrial, too fractured to be techno, too many beats for ambient, not exciting enough to dance to… Bleh.

Frontier – 4 – Review

November 1, 1998

It’s all guitars. Seriously. They put three guitars and amps in a room, turned up the volume and tweaked the feedback for 70 minutes.

Esthero – Breath from Another – Review

November 1, 1998

Drum ‘n’ bass ‘n’ trip hop ‘n’ AAA. The equivalent of Barry Manilow for the electronic crowd.

Dimitri From Paris – Sacrebleu! – Review

November 1, 1998

Lounge meets electronica in France, Breakfast at Tiffany’s as told by HAL, electric martinis… You get the idea.

Sonics Everywhere – Review

November 1, 1998

It’s brooding, inevitable, and great for those nights when you want to take out your family (pets included) with a dull letter opener. A two-disc set.

Random 02 – Review

November 1, 1998

It wouldn’t be so bad if they had chopped him to pieces and then stitched him together with the thread of drum ‘n’ bass, but they don’t.

Coldcut – Let Us Play/ More Bits and Pieces – Review

April 1, 1998

Working with everyone from Bernard Purdie to Jello Biafra, Let Us Play is a steady mix with mellow vibes, dance-ready rhythms, and synapse-tickling innovations.

Hackers 2 Soundtrack – Review

April 1, 1998

Hackers 2 features some of the more popular electronica groups: Prodigy, Orb, BT, Moby, Underworld, etc. but none of the tracks are the best the bands can do.

Bento Box – Review

April 1, 1998

On the whole, Bento Box doesn’t provide anything of much interest, just bleeping and blooping away, the new wave in elevator music.
