Review: Flipp
Flipp “Volume” (Artemis Records) I don’t get it. No. I get it; I just can’t appreciate it. Mostly because it doesn’t make the music any better. Gimmick Rock. Costumes and comedy. It doesn’t get any better than that. The press…
Review: Harvester
Harvester “Hemåt” (Silence Records) In 1967, as a student at the Royal Academy of Music on Stockholm, experimental tape composer Bo Anders Persson performed with Terry Riley. The meeting with the genius of minimalism had an effect on Persson as…

Review: Dead Serious
Dead Serious “It’s What You Can’t See” (Thorp Records) This CD is bright pink. Seriously, like retina burning pink. Dead Serious is punk as a one-eared dog and “It’s What You Can’t See” is a great album. Sounding a lot…
Review: Dark Tranquility
Dark Tranquility “Damage Done” (Century Media) Too much ludefisk and lefse in the diet of these Gothenberg metallers is just what the doctor ordered for a recipe of pure creative brutal mayhem. Mixing dark gothic keyboard passages and mid-tempo death…
