Jun 24, 2000 You’ll Never Be Well No More by Molasses (Review) What keeps Molasses from sounding like a tired rendition of old folk numbers is the alien sense of dread and foreboding just below the surface.
Jun 24, 2000 Ný Batterí by Sigur Rós (Review) I am here to say that Sigur Rós lives up to everything you’ve ever read or heard about them.
Jun 17, 2000 Your Future by Godzuki (Review) Each track blends into the other, providing constant music for dancing.

Jun 3, 2000 The Utterly Fantastic and Totally Unbelievable Sound of Los Straitjackets by Los Straitjackets (Review) Though hundreds of miles from the ocean, Los Straitjackets echo the feel of rushing waves hovering over your head in their impressive debut.
Jun 3, 2000 Lushlife by Bowery Electric (Review) A lush (npi) mixture of hip-hop beats, vinyl scratches, orchestral undercurrents, ominous basslines, and lazily seductive vocals

Jun 1, 2000 Imaginary Days by The Elevator Division (Review) The Elevator Division’s music is rife with atmosphere, but it’s tempered by the edge the band brings to their songwriting.
May 28, 2000 Maldoror by Steven Severin (Review) Putting out soundtracks as records implies they are indeed good enough to stand on their own, and I’m not convinced this one can.
May 28, 2000 Lollo Rosso by The High Llamas (Review) Lollo Rosso moves in odd directions at times, but it definitely represents the unique style and talent of the High Llamas.

May 28, 2000 Electric Honey by Luscious Jackson (Review) A beat-heated delight that one may hear snippets of amidst the flashing lights of a discotheque.
May 28, 2000 The Fawn by The Sea And Cake (Review) So much goes on within each track that The Fawn begs to be carefully listened to over and over again.
May 28, 2000 He Has Left Us Alone, but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms… by A Silver Mt. Zion (Review) I think we’ll all be hard-pressed at year’s end to find an album quite as inspired (and inspiring) as this one.
