Oct 5, 2001 Music Tronic Treatment by Christian Smith (Review) While it has hooks aplenty, it doesn’t really have standout tracks.
Oct 5, 2001 Music Phaedra by Tangerine Dream (Review) Probably as a good a place as any to start if you want to start delving into the history of electronic music.
Sep 15, 2001 Music Taking Care of You (Bliss Out, Volume 10) by Junior Varsity KM (Review) Even though it’s electronic, there’s a very personal and innocent quality to the music that should match any indie-pop fan’s liking.
Sep 3, 2001 Music Vespertine by Björk (Review) ‘Vespertine’ trades the icy bombast of ‘Homogenic’ for deeper, richer, more intimate soundscapes and incredibly revealing lyrics.
Aug 27, 2001 Music Legend Music Demo by Guy David (Review) If you’re familiar with Plone or Boards of Canada, you should know what to expect from David.
Aug 18, 2001 Music Danse Macabre by The Faint (Review) They’re a rock band intent on ripping the entrails out of their Korgs, producing the skronkiest, bleepiest sounds they can — and getting booties to shake and bodies to move across the land.
Jul 22, 2001 Music Music for the Maases by Timo Maas (Review) One of the best and darkest trance records you could ever hope to hear.
Jun 22, 2001 Music Bleep to Bleep by The Micronauts (Review) The sound of a great technical group squeezing every last valid bit of amusement from a synthetic sound.

Jun 2, 2001 Music Psychotrance 2002 by Dj Brian (Review) It’s good for trance fans, but dance and electronica buffs may be less interested than if this was a truly great record.
Jun 2, 2001 Music Jealousy by Keoki (Review) Keoki’s sophomore album takes the best from the early ’90s rave scene and mixes it up with modern house layers.

Apr 7, 2001 Music Electrostaticvibraverb by The Swells (Review) The Swells have heart, but they just don’t inject enough of it into their music.
Apr 7, 2001 Music Warzone by The Missing Brazilians (Review) The Missing Brazilians project apparently felt that dub could be even stranger still.
Apr 7, 2001 Music Kiss My Arp by Andrea Parker (Review) Moves from successful orchestral trip-hop to harrowing-yet-monotonous techno.
Apr 7, 2001 Music Post to Wire by Heather Duby (Review) ‘Post to Wire’ sounds like something you’d expect from a label like 4AD rather than what was once the home of grunge.
Apr 7, 2001 Music The Space Between Us by Craig Armstrong (Review) The Space Between Us primarily shows off Armstrong’s skill at creating some powerful and evocative string arrangements.
