Jul 22, 2001 Music Souvenir from a Dream by The Waterfall Effect (Review) Despite the album’s fairly minimal nature, there’s something vast and alien about these songs.
Mar 6, 2001 Music Quiet as It’s Kept by The Billions (Review) The Billions can write indie-pop odes to unrequited love that know all of the right ways to tug at the heartstrings.
Mar 6, 2001 Music Burnside Project by Burnside Project (Review) A different kind of fourth dimensional indie rockiness.
Jan 22, 2001 Music Parallel Thoughts EP by The Waterfall Effect (Review) It’s pretty obvious where The Waterfall Effect derives its sound, but it does so without sounding terribly derivative.
Jan 22, 2001 Music Umani Sampler by Anymore (Review) Swirling guitars and glittering electronics lead the way, with female vocals weaving in and out.
Jan 22, 2001 Music V.2.1.7 by Colossal Spin (Review) Integrates industrial elements into a high voltage, easily recognizable Seattle modern rock sound.

Nov 19, 2000 Music Tengo Yellow Pedal by Friction Bailey (Review) A very consistent album, but that consistency keeps me from digging into this album.
Nov 19, 2000 Music Reverse by Reverse (Review) So help me if Reverse doesn’t actually live up to most, if not all of their grandiose statements.

Sep 9, 2000 Music The Premise Is Sound by The People (Review) The thing that keeps this from being just another Britpop rip-off is the amount of strangeness The People incorporates into their songs.
Jun 24, 2000 Music Preston Girard’s Demo by Preston Girard (Review) He describes his music as a a little bit of folk, a bit of blues, and a lot of pop and rock.
