Heavy Metal FAKK2 – Review

April 1, 2000

74 minute slab of either industrial, nü metal, rapcore, electrometal, or some variation therein. A few pleasant surprises, a lot of barrel-scrapers.

The Flaming Lips – 1984-1990 – Review

April 1, 2000

Long before they were hailed as art-rock auteurs by fanzine writers everywhere, Wayne and Kevin Coyne et al’s The Flaming Lips were studio rats.

They Might Be Giants – Then: The Earlier Years – Review

June 1, 1997

There’s a raft of B-sides, EP-only tracks, and previously unreleased numbers from their Dial-A-Song archives. That’s seventy-two itty-bitty tunes in all.

The Golden Palominos – Dead Inside – Interview

December 1, 1996

An interview with Anton Feir and Nicole Blackman

The Moog Cookbook – Review

May 1, 1996

Ten grunge-era standards performed as if Walter/Wendy Carlos was the main talis(wo)man of modern music rather than, say, Sabbath or the Stooges.

Jack Logan & Liquor Cabinet – Mood Elevator – Review

February 1, 1996

Jack Logan and his Liquor Cabinet jumped on the lo-fi train, but it’s unclear as to whether they meant to or just read the schedule wrong.

Gem – Hexed – Review

December 1, 1995

Gem are the all-star game of Ohio indie rock, with members of Cobra Verde, Prisonshake, and Death of Samantha. Hexed shines more often than not.

Spain – “Dreaming Of Love” – Review

October 1, 1995

Sleepy, bass-heavy, droney blues with quietly infectious male vocals. Kind of like a long, satisfying yawn.

Spain – The Blue Moods of Spain – Review

October 1, 1995

A smoky, low/no-brainer, high on atmosphere, low on structure and tempo.

aMiniature – Murk Time Cruiser – Review

September 1, 1995

Clear and crisp, but not slick; roaring pop-punk, big on fuzzy, feedback-laden guitar and long on melody.
