Suffice to say I got a great deal from these folks and the shipping was incredibly fast. I bought a tech book and they do seem to have a very nice selection of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~188217527940 Thu, 30 Jun 2005 15:17:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_188217527940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158482599556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - Take one part Belle and Sebastian (they're often compared), a sprinkle of the Polyphonic Spree (just for the grand scale), and pinch some Xiu Xiu in (but only after Jamie Stewart has been slapped around with some optimism), you've got Joel Gibb's Hidden... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158482599556 Fri, 15 Oct 2004 17:19:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158482599556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154932514436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - Children of God and their side project, World of Skin, showed Michael Gira and Jarboe traveling farther away from the punishing past of SWANS and into acoustic territory. The intensity is there, but it's a slow burn rather than the (still slow)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154932514436 Fri, 10 Sep 2004 12:55:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154932514436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154930024068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - This 1999 release chronicles a couple live shows during one of SWANS' most transitional periods in 1986. It's funny that even as the records that Michael Gira and company (this time including Norman Westberg on guitar, Al Kizcys on distorto-bass, and TWO... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154930024068 Fri, 10 Sep 2004 12:35:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154930024068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154926878340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - With the release of what turned out to be their swan song, the first Godflesh might make you notice is their label. Gone from Earache forever like many of its founding fathers, including Justin Broadrick's former bandmates Napalm Death, you might expect... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154926878340 Fri, 10 Sep 2004 11:58:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154926878340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_148706791044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - Wire's music touched on (and helped create) so many genres, it's tough to imagine a tribute to the band as covering a single area. We don't have to, though, since This album whose name Epinions forbids me to publish provides Wire fans with a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~148706791044 Thu, 22 Jul 2004 13:52:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_148706791044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_148705283716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - "It's me again!" That's David Thomas's opening line in the immensely catchy first track, "The Fabulous Sequel." He wails in what, by the time this came out, was his familiar, trademark high-pitched caterwaul. The guitar blasts through a more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~148705283716 Thu, 22 Jul 2004 13:27:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_148705283716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137874935428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - If you know Redd Kross, you know their silly 70s long hair and breakfast-cereal fun factor is grossly out of place in the 80s hardcore scene that spawned them, but another key part of the fun was their sublime trashiness. Their first album is unlike... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137874935428 Sun, 25 Apr 2004 00:22:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137874935428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137873755780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - The Pretty Things' constant plague through their entire career has been a constant comparison to Phil May's former band, the Rolling Stones. SF Sorrow (and its preceding single, "Defecting Grey," included in the bonus tracks of the remaster) did... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137873755780 Sun, 25 Apr 2004 00:10:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137873755780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137871658628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - Roky gets a bad rap, it's true. Much like the psychedelic era's other famous acid casualty, Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson is thought of as much for his mental episodes and intense drug use as for the music he made. Of course, much like Barrett, his... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137871658628 Sat, 24 Apr 2004 23:51:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137871658628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137437744772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - By the time Christ the Album made its way into stores, the Falklands War had started, thus giving Crass impetus to go back into the studio for Yes Sir, I Will., the album that is most often cited by both fans and critics of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137437744772 Tue, 20 Apr 2004 17:22:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137437744772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137434205828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - While Zounds may never achieve the post-mortem recognition that other Crass-affiliated bands have gotten (their bio could never rival Dirt's, and they never achieved the underground success of Conflict or the bout with the mainstream that Bjork managed),... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137434205828 Tue, 20 Apr 2004 16:50:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137434205828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135135530628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ultramouse - In 1978, Lou Reed finds his followers trading places with him to become new influences. Most of the punk scene had released albums by now, including the next generation across the pond. Reed's response is his most harrowing and soul-baring release,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135135530628 Wed, 31 Mar 2004 11:46:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135135530628?linkin_id=8003929
