“Alternative” Reviews

The perfect album to see you through those long dark hours as you wait for her to call, but know she never will.

This is an album that simply exudes swankiness and style.

There is definitely warmth found throughout with the help of a soothing voice and lulling reverb.

Of all the “industrial” albums I’ve bought, this one’s held the most interest for me, simply because it’s so different.

One of Morphine’s best albums, if not the best.

It just doesn’t sound that good. Not in any sort of big dose anyway.

Somehow the recording of the concert has become a classic anyway.

Releasing a solo album while being affiliated with one of the great pop bands required some guts.

This is a reissue of two records, Huremics and Vibrating Air, by one of the 4AD record label’s most criminally unheard of bands.

I could easily see Fold Zandura blowing away many of the “established” Christian “modern rock” acts.

The unifying factor is the mood that these 4 multi-instrumentalists create, one of longing and lonesome twinges you get when looking through old photos.

Definitely an album every rock fan should own.

Few records made in the ’90s can get this or more emotional.

Sounding at times like Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, John Coltrane, Frank Zappa, John Cage, and Steely Dan, this album is a sonic treat.

Jeff Buckley didn’t belong in anything so small as a rock band.

Despite the band’s frumpy appearances, this album contains one hidden pop gem after another.

Solid pop songs that can be driving and punchy, but also atmospheric and jangly.

Rough around the edges and in need of some healthy polishing, but with plenty of beauty still shining through.

This record could be considered the one that helped Brit-pop be what it has been, in my humble opinion.

Intricate, lush music that’s highly recommended for Starflyer 59 fans.
