Mar 24, 2001 Music Fixed::Context by Labradford (Review) Like so many things, brevity is the soul of this album. The amazing thing is just how vast that brevity sounds.
Jan 22, 2001 Music 13 Drones by James Potter (Review) This disk will fit nicely next to that E.A.R. record you own (or should).

Dec 20, 2000 Music Baby Labyrinthian by Lucid (Review) What Lucid is able to do in the 75 minutes of this CD is create some of most interesting experimental ambience I’ve ever heard.
