Dec 21, 2000 Just for a Day by Slowdive (Review) My first introduction to Slowdive, and an album that left such an impact on me that I still compare new albums to it today.
Dec 20, 2000 Style for Life EP by Junior Varsity KM (Review) I’d like to take this album on a long drive through the country with the top down, and just soaking up the spring.
Dec 20, 2000 Gold by Starflyer 59 (Review) Suffice it to say, Gold was one of the best Christian releases of 1995.
Dec 20, 2000 Idylls and the Secret Remain by Lucid (Review) I don’t know where these people get their inspiration or opus, but I just hope they keep creating works of art like this one.
Dec 20, 2000 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.
Dec 20, 2000 The Cycle of Days and Seasons by Hood (Review) I say that I’m frustrated by this album because it’s very easy for me to dismiss it, when a part of me knows I should be enraptured by it.
Dec 10, 2000 Us by Peter Gabriel (Review) Few records made in the ’90s can get this or more emotional.
Dec 10, 2000 Gun Hill Road by Infesticons (Review) This is real hip-hop, black science fiction in the tradition of Parliament/Funkadelic and Sun Ra.
Dec 10, 2000 The Shape of Punk to Come by The Refused (Review) Punk rock would still be interesting if it sounded more like these guys.
Dec 10, 2000 The Violence of Sound by Killingtheoldman (Review) This falls into the “goth” and “industrial” categories but does so while circumventing many of those genres’ pitfalls.
Dec 10, 2000 Down With the Scene by Kid 606 (Review) The 21-year-old Kid turns in some pretty fine Autechre/Aphex Twin-style glitch techno.
Dec 10, 2000 Come On Die Young by Mogwai (Review) Picks right up where their ferocious debut, 1997’s Young Team, left off.
Dec 10, 2000 Sweet Tip by Insides (Review) It’s still Insides… so it’s not all bad. It’s not great either.
Nov 19, 2000 Reverse by Reverse (Review) So help me if Reverse doesn’t actually live up to most, if not all of their grandiose statements.
Nov 19, 2000 Dancing by Mike Keneally And Beer For Dolphins (Review) Sounding at times like Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, John Coltrane, Frank Zappa, John Cage, and Steely Dan, this album is a sonic treat.
Nov 19, 2000 To the Limit by Beats Unlimited Productions (Review) Remember that studio-based, diva-riddled dance music that was so prevalent in the early ’90s?
Nov 19, 2000 Tengo Yellow Pedal by Friction Bailey (Review) A very consistent album, but that consistency keeps me from digging into this album.
