Foetus – Marc Almond – Slut – Review

September 1, 1998

As it turns out, Big Jim Thirlwell’s knack for the grandiose dovetails quite well with Marc’s gutter operatics on Slut.

David J – On Glass – The Singles – Review

September 1, 1998

The hard-to-find material he recorded from ’83 to ’85, most of it in an appealing light-pop vein that suits his thin voice and none-too-overreaching lyrics.

Cows – Sorry in Pig Minor – Review

September 1, 1998

Pinwheel-eyed, portable-meth-lab cowboy music, the kind of pockmarked psychotidelia with a bloated-floater-blue streak of juvenile humor.

Cornelius – Fantasma – Review

September 1, 1998

To catalogue all the elements Cornelius cobbles together so brilliantly would be both exhausting and a douse on the fun that awaits you here.

Caustic Resin – The Medicine Is All Gone – Review

September 1, 1998

More ‘lude than lewd, more glum than glam – it’ll sound nice at your next faux-fag filled ’70s/OD’d-party-guest revival party.

Tortoise – TNT – Review

September 1, 1998

Effusively lyrical without a single word uttered. Organically configured and artificially sweetened. Convolutedly straightforward and definitively elliptical.

Tones on Tail – Everything – Review

September 1, 1998

Guitarist Daniel Ash, roadie Glenn Campling, and drummer Kevin Haskins after Bauhaus’ breakup, has had its output reconfigured into a number of releases.

Throbbing Gristle – Assume Power Focus – Review

September 1, 1998

Ah Throbbing Gristle, those lovable, fascism-obsessed, used-tampon-wielding, Burroughs-worshipping, degradation-happy sonic provocateurs.

Einstürzende Neubauten – 2×4 – Review

September 1, 1998

ROIR’s previously cassette-only 2×4, a collection of early live clatter from the Teutons, has been remastered for CD, and it’s every bit what you’d expect.

All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors – Turning Into Small – Review

September 1, 1998

I slapped this on with images of indie nothingness dancing in my head and got clouted between the eyes by a melodic cinderblock made out of feathers and rags.
