Frames
Artist: Haujobb

Frames, released late in 1995, is haujobb.'s addition to the trend of industrial bands to release albums featuring remixes of their own songs by their contemporaries.

Metalmorphosis of Die Krupps: 81-92
Artist: Die Krupps
Against the Stars
Artist: Dambuilders

Against the Stars is third major label album from the Dambuilders. Against the Stars diverges from the simple production of previous releases, favoring a more dense, complicated sound. Gone is the indie rock guitar-based approach, resulting in a heavily produced set of 13 songs. Imagine a poppy prog rock record and you have Against the Stars.... Read More

In Memory
Artist: Nevermore

Sporting some of singer Warrel Dane's most extreme vocal workouts, In Memory is an impressive musical display of neo-progressive yet heavy melodic metal. With an identical band lineup and producer Neil Kernon returning to helm the console, the results on this follow-up to 1995's eponymous debut are predictably similar. The bombastic medley of...

Sidewinder
Artist: Download
Community Score: 6.00

Companion to Download's second album, The Eyes of Stanley Pain, Sidewinder is its namesake -- a collection of remixes and new material which may not have fit onto the album for various reasons, but still very worthy in their own right. This means that some tracks on this EP, namely "Shemaesin" and "Im5," make for even more challenging listening... Read More

Fever In Fever Out
Artist: Luscious Jackson
Community Score: 8.00

Producer Daniel Lanois keeps his ambient tendencies to a minimum, providing just enough... Read More

Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt
Artist: John Frusciante
Community Score: 6.07

Upon leaving the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1992, guitarist John Frusciante delved into home recording, eventually completing a 12-track album titled Niandra Lades that bore the influence of '60s oddballs like Syd Barrett and Captain Beefheart. Niandra Lades languished on the shelf for a while until it was paired with another 12-track collection... Read More

Drink Me
Artist: Salad

Clearly more interesting, more varied, more wild, less formulaic, and just plain wagon-loads better than the OK Echobelly and Sleeper, and far more original and less nostalgic than Elastica, Salad get a little notice but far less than their six singles and album suggest they are due. Best of all and most importantly, while all those other bands... Read More

Melting Pot
Artist: The Charlatans UK

When the Charlatans emerged with "The Only One I Know" in 1991, there were countless bands similar to them, but they immediately catapulted to the forefront of the Madchester scene, standing alongside such icons as the Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays. They had such success because they not only could ride the groove, like so many Madchester... Read More
