Dec 22, 2000 Passafist by Passafist (Review) Of all the “industrial” albums I’ve bought, this one’s held the most interest for me, simply because it’s so different.
Dec 22, 2000 Awaiting the Dawn by Various Artists (Review) Much of the music on here is pretty challenging, but fortunately for the listener, it almost always delivers.
Dec 22, 2000 Everybody Makes Mistakes by Starflyer 59 (Review) When it works, it shows once again that Martin is still one of the best songwriters in Christian music.
Dec 22, 2000 Easy Come Easy Go by Starflyer 59 (Review) Actually, the best part about having all of these tracks in one location is getting to listen to all of Starflyer’s musical directions in one sitting.
Dec 22, 2000 Americana by Starflyer 59 (Review) When you hear this record, it’s easy to see why Starflyer is one of the most critically acclaimed Christian bands.
Dec 22, 2000 Enthraled by the Wind of Lonelienes by Raison d’être (Review) Definitely a mood piece, one that evokes a sense of power and majesty amidst sorrow.
Dec 21, 2000 Trying Signals: The Histrionics of Suggestion by Jetenderpaul (Review) Definitely one of the more inventive and interesting Christian releases I’ve heard in quite some time.
Dec 21, 2000 The Birth of Us by Mothersfavoritechild (Review) This band has captured the vibe and realness of ’70s R&B
Dec 21, 2000 For Tea, Sympathy, and a Sofa by Lisan Al-Gaib (Review) If you’re at all into the darkwave scene, you might want to keep an eye out on these guys.
Dec 21, 2000 La Folie by Lin (Review) I think LIN’s music would work much more for me if the hip-hop influence was less-pronounced.
Dec 21, 2000 The Unstable Molecule by Isotope 217 (Review) I could take 84 minutes of this and not just a tad over a half hour like they gave me instead.
Dec 21, 2000 Good Dog Bad Dog (The Home Recordings) by Over the Rhine (Review) The talent is pretty overwhelming throughout the record.
Dec 21, 2000 Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume 1 by Olivia Tremor Control (Review) The cumulative effect is the most psychedelic record I’ve heard in ages.
Dec 21, 2000 Picnic, Lightning by Garlands (Review) The production on the album is top-notch, the instruments sound crisp and clean.
Dec 21, 2000 Ever Revolving, Never Evolving by 30 Foot Fall (Review) Clever arrangements and whip smart lyrics that project a subtle feeling of optimism make for a very enjoyable listen.
Dec 21, 2000 Silver Lining Underwater (Bliss Out, Volume 3) by Orange Cake Mix (Review) Ends up sounding like someone has spent way too much time locked up in their bedroom with a couple of analog synths.
Dec 21, 2000 Feng Shui by Doldrums (Review) Wonderful CD, looking forward to more, and to getting the rest of this band’s back catalog.
Dec 21, 2000 Moon Pix by Cat Power (Review) Cat Power used to be one of those bands that I lumped in with “all the rest of the indie crap that’s not drone.”
Dec 21, 2000 What Will Become of the Key of Reason? by Mahogany (Review) All in all, a pleasant-sounding enough EP, but nothing that will probably blow your socks off.
