Jan 22, 2001 Music Love & Other Catastrophes by Various Artists (Review) The soundtrack is a great sampler of some of the best acts on the Australian music scene.
Jan 21, 2001 Music After the Flood by After the Flood (Review) After the Flood takes the eerie otherworldliness of Lucid’s music and makes it more musical and listenable.
Jan 13, 2001 Music Coming to Terms by Arco (Review) Arco’s Chris Healey has just about the softest, whispery-est voice in pop music.
Jan 13, 2001 Music Tragic Epilogue by Anti-Pop Consortium (Review) Anti-Pop Consortium’s detours are not the same old breaks trotted out which are sure to rock a crowd.
Jan 13, 2001 Music Hail the Frozen North by Hollydrift (Review) Mathias Anderson displays considerable talent in creating “experimental” music that’s surprisingly easy to listen to.
Jan 13, 2001 Music Neverfigure by Gentlyfall (Review) I mean, you name the shoegaze accoutrement, they’ve got it.
Jan 13, 2001 Music A New Machine for Living by Turing Machine (Review) This is the wonderful sound of a rock band that sounds like a machine you’re afraid to get close to for fear your shirt might catch in the gears and your arms will get ripped off.
Jan 13, 2001 Music Hell’s Laughter and Heaven’s Ache by John Ludi (Review) I’m still pondering some the lyrics on this album.
Jan 13, 2001 Music The Streets of Babylon by Samori (Review) Samori has taken the art of hip-hop a notch higher with his beautifully crafted musical tracks and passionate lyrics.
Jan 12, 2001 Music Dinosaur Act by Low (Review) The result is something pure and natural, as wholesome as can be, but also full of tension and anxiety.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Perennial Favorites by Squirrel Nut Zippers (Review) Another impressive jazz album from the North Carolina band.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Dots and Loops by Stereolab (Review) Incredibly listenable, downright catchy, and kitschy in all the right ways.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Fall Sounds by Velour 100 (Review) Fall Sounds is the perfect name for this album, because the music somehow conjures up images of falling leaves, grey skies, and beautiful sunsets.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Sylph by Writ On Water (Review) At times, it wonders into brief avant-garde experimentation, but even that is well done, building up tense atmospheres.
Dec 23, 2000 Music For an Open Sky by Velour 100 (Review) All 4 songs have that hazy, jangling guitar that you can find in every Velour song, accompanied by quiet organs and gently brushed drums.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Of Color Bright by Velour 100 (Review) On the whole, I like Fall Sounds more, but Of Color Bright has quite a few bright spots of its own.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Genetherapy by Tleilaxu (Review) Once again, we have another release proving that not all electronic music falls into that amorphous realm called “electronica.”
Dec 23, 2000 Music Respite EP by Anaphylaxis (Review) This stuff is actually worth listening to, and not as some sort of sonic endurance test.
Dec 23, 2000 Music The Limits of Painting and Poetry by The Pilot Ships (Review) These songs will wrap themselves around you, like half-remembered pictures, sounds, and smells.
Dec 23, 2000 Music Quique by Seefeel (Review) It’s probably accurate to say that this album best bridged the gap between dreampop, techno, ambient, and jungle.
