Review: Powd[e]r Pussy – Six Ways From Sunday
POWD[E]R PUSSY SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY Pflichtkauf “This is a pussy blowout!” The collaborative efforts of Ah-Cama Sotz and This Morn’ Omina is as impressive as the solo work from their individual projects. Six Ways from Sunday is where Pow[d]er Pussy converts anybody reluctant to listen to rhythm noise into a devoted fan. Twelve tracks
Review: Ra – Raoul Loves You
RA RAOUL LOVES YOU Core Dump Records You wanna know how much Raoul loves you? Just listen to this and you will be instantly smitten and begging to have Ra’s babies.

Review: Sergeant Sawtooth – Mescaline
SERGEANT SAWTOOTH MESCALINE www.negative3.com Here is a musician who knows how to shake up industrial stereotypes and rearrange familiar electronic sounds into a fresh approach.

Review: Combichrist – Sex, Drogen Und Industrial
COMBICHRIST SEX, DROGEN UND INDUSTRIAL Out of Line Andy Lapuega (Icon of Coil) had to balance out the deliciously happy pop music at some point. With Combichrist, he takes on harsh rhythms like he would take on his worst enemy. The EP starts with “Blut Royal,” a blood bath of pounding beats sans vocals. The
Review: Yourcodenameis:Milo – All Roads To Fault E.P.
YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO ALL ROADS TO FAULT E.P. Beggars Banquet You can now officially add My Bloody Valentine to the list of over-used (and more often than not misused) stack of vernacular that lazy journalists are spewing out these days in an attempt at teasing the world into believing that soon we’ll stop waiting for Kevin Shields
Review: The Local Division – Pure Electric Light E.P.
THE LOCAL DIVISION PURE ELECTRIC LIGHT E.P. Aeronaut Records Singer Ian Christian and guitarist Mati met at a Mark Gardener (Ride) show. The only problem was that Ian lived in the UK and Mati was from Los Angeles. Regardless, they’ve released this rather interesting E.P. The first two tracks lift the early heavy strumming from
Review: Patrick Wolf – Wind In The Wires
PATRICK WOLF WIND IN THE WIRES Tomlab One moment you’re visiting the exotic world of Marc Almond’s cabaret, the next you’re The Divine Comedy channeling Morrissey at a piano bar, then you’re somewhere else and nowhere the same. There are acoustic guitars, strings, electronic grooves, beats and a whole heap of dramatics. Most artists would
Review: Amateur God – Around The Corners Of Our Minds
AMATEUR GOD AROUND THE CORNERS OF OUR MINDS Black Rain Perhaps it isn’t a fair fight, but it’s on anyway. Attrition’s Martin Bowes and whatever cohorts he decides to bring along have been making dark electronic music since long before anyone thought up the phrase “dark wave.” Amateur God? Really, I haven’t a clue. They’re
Wasted Life – February 2005
I love New York hardcore, but I hate the XXL basketball jerseys, track suits and gold chains. I love thick-neck hardcore with gnarly breakdowns, but I’m so bored of bands where the singer slowly yells “muuuthafuuucka!” in his best hard-ass voice right before the mosh part during songs about the mean streets, the crew and
