Dec 22, 2000 Music Enthraled by the Wind of Lonelienes by Raison d’être (Review) Definitely a mood piece, one that evokes a sense of power and majesty amidst sorrow.
Dec 22, 2000 Music Americana by Starflyer 59 (Review) When you hear this record, it’s easy to see why Starflyer is one of the most critically acclaimed Christian bands.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Trying Signals: The Histrionics of Suggestion by Jetenderpaul (Review) Definitely one of the more inventive and interesting Christian releases I’ve heard in quite some time.
Dec 21, 2000 Music The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas (Review) It just doesn’t sound that good. Not in any sort of big dose anyway.
Dec 21, 2000 Music The Beat Assassinated by Dj Cam (Review) It’s just a waste of talent when the extraordinary is ruined by the preposterous.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Miniature Portraits by Five Style (Review) Five Style’s musical hyperactivity makes for an interesting, albeit exhausting listen.
Dec 21, 2000 Music What Will Become of the Key of Reason? by Mahogany (Review) All in all, a pleasant-sounding enough EP, but nothing that will probably blow your socks off.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Moon Pix by Cat Power (Review) Cat Power used to be one of those bands that I lumped in with “all the rest of the indie crap that’s not drone.”
Dec 21, 2000 Music Feng Shui by Doldrums (Review) Wonderful CD, looking forward to more, and to getting the rest of this band’s back catalog.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Silver Lining Underwater (Bliss Out, Volume 3) by Orange Cake Mix (Review) Ends up sounding like someone has spent way too much time locked up in their bedroom with a couple of analog synths.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Ever Revolving, Never Evolving by 30 Foot Fall (Review) Clever arrangements and whip smart lyrics that project a subtle feeling of optimism make for a very enjoyable listen.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Picnic, Lightning by Garlands (Review) The production on the album is top-notch, the instruments sound crisp and clean.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume 1 by Olivia Tremor Control (Review) The cumulative effect is the most psychedelic record I’ve heard in ages.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Good Dog Bad Dog (The Home Recordings) by Over The Rhine (Review) The talent is pretty overwhelming throughout the record.
Dec 21, 2000 Music The Unstable Molecule by Isotope 217 (Review) I could take 84 minutes of this and not just a tad over a half hour like they gave me instead.
Dec 21, 2000 Music La Folie by Lin (Review) I think LIN’s music would work much more for me if the hip-hop influence was less-pronounced.
Dec 21, 2000 Music For Tea, Sympathy, and a Sofa by Lisan Al-Gaib (Review) If you’re at all into the darkwave scene, you might want to keep an eye out on these guys.
Dec 21, 2000 Music The Birth of Us by Mothersfavoritechild (Review) This band has captured the vibe and realness of ’70s R&B
