Skankin’ Pickle – Live – Review

May 1, 1996

As a fan since Skafunkrastapunk that’s yet to see their fast-paced live show, this CD fills a gap. Material from all three albums.

Cadillac Tramps – Review

March 1, 1996

Combining unreleased material, live in-studio recordings, and remixes of singles from previous albums, this is a perfect wrap-up album.

Underflowers – Review

February 1, 1996

Underflowers lean toward the subtle, swaying strains of Dead Can Dance with the rich, male voice of J. Orazi contrasting the gossamer vocals of Mia Chesta.

Uncle Jack – Shrink – Review

February 1, 1996

Tightly-crafted, filled with solos, chunky rhythms, and one of the better bassists in some time. The singer has a great range and a strong sense of harmony.

Epperly – Review

February 1, 1996

Half the songs ooze through a relaxed Valium groove, while the other half cranks up the distortion for some happy pogoing and head bopping.

Ajax – Aphrodite – Review

February 1, 1996

After hearing multiple versions of “Ex-Junkie,” my favorite being the stripped-down voice and drum only remix, I was let down by the rest of the five-song EP.

Crisis N.T.I. – The Alien Conspiracy – Review

February 1, 1996

From hardbody technoslam to orchestrated space ambient, Crisis N.T.I. covers the soundscapes with human/alien interaction.

Big Country – Why The Long Face – Review

December 1, 1995

Guitars replace them kick-ass bagpipes, vocal harmonies still stacked to the ceiling. Pure guitar pop. I kinda dig some of the songs, but I miss the bagpipes.

2 Minutes Hate – Let it Eat – Review

November 1, 1995

2 Minutes Hate is filled with jamming guitars and lyrical sentiments that ring true. They won’t be huge, but that doesn’t mean they’re not good.

Mr. T. Experience – “Alternative is Here to Stay” – Review

October 1, 1995

It’s pepped up, pumps it out, and you don’t even care that you’ve heard it a million times before. 1-2-3-4 let’s go!
