Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

So for all you cats whose Portishead tapes popped as a result of repeated listens, slide this in and you won’t miss a beat.

While it may be hip to be unknown and trendy to record for an independent label, you still have to make good music.

This music is spirit glorified.

Pure contemplative magic.

The whole disk is nice and airy, never a dissonant note for too long.

There’s so much more substance here than anything produced by the average person alone in a basement doing electronically reconstructed jazz.

A disturbing movie because we expect to see innocence and childhood, but instead find corruption and sin.

While all of the songs are electronic in nature, they avoid falling into the normal trappings of your average dancehall fare.

Compared to other post-rock artists, there’s something surprisingly raw and brutal about Supercollider’s music.

This is a very refreshing record.

This is undoubtedly one of the best things to happen in 2000.

Many of these songs were so good that they should’ve been on Maladjusted instead of that album’s weaker tracks.

After several long, hard listens, one sees how lovely this simply, unassuming album can be.

This will appeal to anyone who wants a heavy, powerful album, both musically and lyrically.

He has taken evangelism to a peculiar but effective level that involves love and not persecution.

Buy this album, if only to see what’s currently happening in cutting-edge Christian music.

Scientific’s self-titled debut possesses a sense of nostalgic fun that sounds retro without being kitschy.

Disappointing, but will do just fine for those who haven’t heard bootlegs of Spiritualized‘s inspired live show.

A dark conviction runs through these songs, along with a tangible spirituality that makes them so intensely captivating.

Saint Etienne is another appropriate example of Sub Pop veering towards a more refined style of music.
